Chapter 690 Celebrities in the Business School
After a pleasant day, on April 8th, Li Dong rushed to the business school to report.
Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business is located in the Oriental Plaza, the commercial center of Beijing.
The name Oriental Plaza is actually very vulgar, and there is also an Oriental Plaza in Dongping.
However, compared to the capital city, the two are naturally not in the same breath.
After parking the car, Li Dong stopped downstairs for a while.
Returning to the campus again, although it is not a real campus, has a special taste.
Li Dong signed up for the business school. To be honest, he didn't have much desire to learn skills and knowledge, and he signed up for the CEO class. His real purpose was to make some contacts.
Although the CEO class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business was only held for one session, last year's session was indeed eye-catching.
Ma Yun, Niu Gensheng, Guo Guangchang, Feng Lun, Jiang Nanchun, Wu Ying...
These are all famous people in the future. Besides these people, there are many people who will also be powerful in the mall in the next ten years.
Huiyuan Zhu Xinli, UnionPay Wan Jianhua, Chint Nan Cunhui, Zhongji Liu Yi, Ding Tianwang Bing, Meters Zhou Chengjian...
Just counting the names of the people, you can't count them with two hands.
The CEO class only recruits 35 people each time, which shows how rich the gold content is.
It's hard to say in the next few issues, at least in the first few issues, what Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business values is not money, but social status.
When he signed up for Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business this time, Li Dong didn’t realize anything at the beginning. It wasn’t until later that he realized that the first three CEO training courses did not accept voluntary registration at all.
The reason why he didn't feel this was because when he signed up, Yuanfang Li Dong was considered a famous figure in China.
So he easily reported his name, after all, the youngest tens of billionaires in the country is not a name for nothing.
...
Stepping into the Oriental Plaza, before Li Dong got into the elevator, someone next to him hesitated and said, "Mr. Li from far away?"
Li Dong glanced sideways, and there were two women standing beside him.
years of experience,
Let Li Dong quickly see that among the two girls, the younger one should be a secretary or assistant, and the older one should be the real caller.
The one who called him just now was also this older woman, probably in her forties.
Li Dong glanced at him and found that he didn't recognize him, but he still said politely, "Hi, I'm Li Dong, and you?"
"Mr. Li, hello, hello!"
When the middle-aged woman heard Li Dong's confession, she quickly reached out to shake Li Dong's hand.
Li Dong didn't refuse. In fact, even if he didn't know him, he knew that this was probably the student who came to report.
Sure enough, the other party immediately introduced himself: "I'm Zhang Lan, a student of the sixth term of EMBA at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and now a student of the second term of the CEO class. Mr. Li is here to report, right? I heard from Dean Xiang Bing that Mr. Li also signed up I can't believe it, I didn't expect such a coincidence that I met on the first day."
"Zhang Lan..."
Li Dong whispered to himself, feeling as if he had heard the name before.
Glancing at Zhang Lan from the corner of the eye, Li Dong suddenly remembered where he had heard of this name!
Chairman of South Beauty!
No wonder it sounded familiar. The reason why he knew Zhang Lan was not because he had known him all his life. In fact, the scale of South Beauty at this time was not that big, at least not on the same level as Yuanfang.
Li Dong had heard of this person in his previous life. Of course, he was not concerned about this person in his previous life, but her daughter-in-law.
The Xiaoqian back then was Li Dong's dream lover for a long time.
Usually on the Internet, Li Dong often sees reports about this family.
In his previous life, it was very difficult for Li Dong to meet people like them. Even if he did, they probably wouldn't look him in the eye.
Unexpectedly, on the first day of entering the academy, before formally entering the door, I would meet a moderate celebrity, and the attitude of the other party was still so respectful and polite.
However, now Li Dong is quite used to it. After shaking hands with the other party, he said politely: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhang here. So, in the future, Mr. Zhang and I will be classmates?"
Zhang Lan suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Li and I will be classmates from now on. This is the first time for Mr. Li to come to the academy. I am familiar with this place. How about I take Mr. Li to report?"
She is a veteran student of the EMBA class, and in fact she has graduated at this time.
But just as the second term of the CEO class is approaching, Zhang Lan understands what the CEO class represents better than Li Dong.
At this time last year, she was actually planning to sign up.
It's a pity that she didn't have the qualifications at that time. Although she found the dean of the college and wanted to enroll, she was declined.
This year, she managed to catch up with the opportunity. Of course, she didn't care about the hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, and she focused on getting into this class.
Now it seems that she made the right choice.
On the first day of the report, Zhang Lan was quite excited when he met Li Dong from far away before entering the door.
Although Li Dong's current domestic reputation is not too great, Li Dong's reputation in the business world is not weak at all, with a net worth of over tens of billions.
Through the relationship between classmates, Zhang Lan felt that the hundreds of thousands of tuition fees were too worthwhile to meet a rich man with a net worth of over tens of billions so quickly.
Li Dong saw that she was so polite and that he was not very familiar with her, so he nodded and smiled and said, "Then please trouble Mr. Zhang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lan said with a smile: "From now on, Mr. Li will just call me by my name. In the academy, everyone will call me by my first name, regardless of status or age. After Mr. Li enters school, you will be able to feel this kind of atmosphere." gone."
When Li Dong heard it, he immediately understood how powerful the academy was.
Simply calling them by their first names immediately brought people closer to each other.
Outside, everyone was yelling this one and that all the time, although they were all smiling, but in fact they were still separated by a layer.
But after entering the academy, everyone is not called the general manager anymore, but the name.
It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few times, we get used to each other, and the friendship will naturally improve.
Li Dong nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Since it's the school's custom, I'll follow the Romans. Hello Zhang Lan, let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Dong. You can call me by my name from now on."
Zhang Lan smiled immediately: "Then I won't be polite, I will call you Li Dong from now on."
The two entered the elevator while exchanging greetings.
Zhang Lan's assistant and Tan Yong behind Li Dong also followed in silently, and Li Dong did not introduce them.
After all, they are all successful businessmen, and they can't do everything by themselves when they are away from home.
...
The address of the college is on the third floor.
After getting out of the elevator, staff members from the college greeted him immediately.
Zhang Lan dismissed the staff and took Li Dong to report in person.
The report of the CEO class is somewhat different from the report of the MBA or EMBA class. It is not as imagined to set up a booth and register for admission, but to go directly to the dean's office.
Zhang Lan led Li Dong while walking and said: "Dean Xiang Bing is really powerful. He once founded the EMBA class of Guanghua School of Management and served as a doctoral supervisor for many famous schools. His theory of rank is very famous in the world. I I was fortunate to have listened to Dean Xiang's lectures and benefited a lot..."
Judging from Zhang Lan's tone, it is obvious that Xiang Bing is highly respected.
Since Li Dong had never met the other party in person, he didn't feel much about it.
Following Zhang Lan to the dean's office, Li Dong looked around.
Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business occupies a large area, but after all, it is in the midst of high-rise buildings, which lacks the atmosphere of a campus.
Along the way, Li Dong also saw many students.
Zhang Lan has been wandering here for two years, and knows many people, and greeted many people along the way.
Seeing Zhang Lanke politely explaining something to Li Dong, some people showed a serious look in their eyes.
Few students who can afford business school tuition are fools.
Most of the MBA and EMBA students are business executives.
Some people come to the academy to study, some people really want to study, but these people do not exceed 30%, and the remaining 70% have a single idea and make connections.
Every big person who enters the school is the object of their friendship.
Although Zhang Lan didn't have the wealth of later generations at this time, she was also well-known in the business school.
It's not about the amount of money, but last month, South Beauty won the catering service for the eighth competition venue of the Olympic Games.
Being able to provide catering services for the Olympic Games means that South Beauty has come to the forefront in the catering industry.
No matter what industry, being able to be at the forefront in it shows that the person at the helm is capable and generally not weak.
Now that Li Dong can make Zhang Lan so polite, and he is still young, many people naturally pay more attention.
When they saw the two walking towards the dean's office, many people showed understanding. Today is the report time of the CEO class, and it is obvious that the one just came to report.
In last year's CEO class, there were quite a few powerful figures in the business world, and it should be similar this year.
But Li Dong is so young, who is so sacred?
Some people are ignorant, while others are relieved, it turned out to be him!
Yuanfang Li Dong may not have been well-known in the first two years, but since the end of last year, Yuanfang Li Dong's reputation has grown.
One Billion Charity, Ten Billion Investment!
A company's internal annual meeting completely made Li Dong famous throughout the country.
In addition, ordinary people don't care about Yuanfang and Suning's joint venture into the Beijing and Tianjin markets. How can they, businessmen and officials, not care?
Even the business school has recently analyzed the cooperation between Yuanfang and Suning, as well as the coping strategies of Gome and Wumart.
Among the students of the academy, there are even a few executives from Suning or Gome who are also studying in it.
Although Li Dong is not in the capital at all, there are quite a few people who know him.
Thinking of Li Dong, everyone's eyes showed a hint of interest.
In the past two years, Yuanfang Li Dong has become a myth in the eyes of everyone in the business world, a myth that continues to create legends.
It's a pity that Li Dong has been staying in Jiangbei, and few people can see him, so he is a little more mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.
Now that Li Dong actually signed up for the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, maybe we can have a good communication at a close distance.
No matter what others think, Li Dong and Zhang Lan have already arrived at the dean's office at this time.
