Chapter 700: The Official Start of School
The gambling game in the Imperial Palace seemed to be really just a dream.
A gamble of billions of dollars seemed to be forgotten by everyone the next day.
Li Dong was not in a hurry to accept the shares, Chen Siping and the others did not do anything, Han Yu locked herself in the study to study and practice calligraphy, and the other people at the party last night chose to keep silent.
In this turbulent atmosphere, Li Dong went to the business school again.
...
April 10th.
Oriental Plaza.
President class officially starts today.
Perhaps it shouldn't be said that the school is starting. At the level of people like Li Dong, some theoretical knowledge is really not as useful to them as they imagined.
Since theoretical knowledge is not valued, the opening ceremony has become a social occasion.
The start time of the business school is not in the morning, but at noon.
After eating at the hotel, Li Dong leisurely paced towards the Oriental Plaza.
His main purpose of going to Beijing this time was for business school courses, and the hotel he chose was naturally not too far from Oriental Plaza.
Seven or eight minutes away, I walked and watched, and before I knew it, I had arrived at the School of Business.
Before going upstairs, Li Dong met many students from the president's class downstairs.
The last time we had dinner together, for the businessmen, they were friends after dinner, and there was nothing to be unfamiliar with.
As soon as the few people met, they laughed and gathered together to chat.
Everyone was not in a hurry to go upstairs, they stood at the door and chatted for a while, as one of the few female students in the class, Wu Yajun approached Li Dong mysteriously and said, "Dongzi, how about supporting my sister later?" ?”
Li Dong was a little puzzled and said, "What?"
"Stupid!"
Wu Yajun was much older than Li Dong, plus she was a woman, so she had a natural advantage. She was not as polite to Li Dong as others, but she seemed more intimate.
laughed and cursed,
Wu Yajun said: "After all, it is a student class, so there must always be a class leader. The class leader will definitely be elected later. At that time, you will canvass for my sister. When my sister becomes the class leader, you will go to the southwest in the future. My sister will protect you .”
Li Dong laughed and said, "I said Sister Wu, you don't need it, what's the use of being a monitor..."
Wu Yajun looked at him with a silly expression on his face, and after a while he called, "You, you are still too young. The class monitor is indeed not very useful, but with this name, the people in the class are unknown to others, at least they know each other. You? Three years later, five years later, when everyone sees you, do you want to call out the old squad leader?
Let's talk about something more practical. After we graduate, we will definitely set up a classmate association. Am I the monitor of the class that I take for granted as the president of the classmate association?
When the time comes, invite everyone to have a gathering together. I have to give this little face, right?
When the business has reached our stage, there are some things that everyone knows. Who is investing? As long as the project is suitable and there is money to be made, is it better to invest in strangers or invest in me, the monitor?
In addition, your sister and I also want to go to the Huaxia Alumni Association for a while, because I don't have any status and I don't know what to do.
Last year there were many strong people, and CEIBS also had many capable people. Now that my sister is gone, she can only serve tea and water for others.
But you said, if I have mastered the resources of our second class, will it be different? "
After hearing this, Li Dong suddenly realized: "It's true, I said Sister Wu, it's interesting!"
It's not that Li Dong hadn't thought about these things, but he had thought about them too thoroughly before.
In fact, he was just going to fool around, and it was enough to make friends with some people he wanted to make friends with.
But as soon as Wu Yajun finished speaking, Li Dong realized that the squad leader seemed to have a lot of benefits.
Just as he was gearing up to say a few words, Wu Yajun seemed to know what he was going to say, and said with a low smile: "Don't fight, you are too young, and you don't need to grab my sister's job. Yuanfang is now in our Among them, you are one of the best. In a few years, you, Li Dong, are destined to be a celebrity in the business world.
A squad leader is really useless to you.
Unlike my sister, I have spent my whole life hanging out in small places, so how about helping my sister? "
When Li Dong heard the words, he quickly praised: "Sister Wu, don't flatter me. Besides, it's too self-effacing for Sister Wu. I've seen Sister Wu for a few years, she must be much more famous than me."
Wu Yajun laughed immediately, shook his head and said, "Come on, stop praising me."
"No, I'm absolutely telling the truth." Li Dong laughed, and was a little confused: "Then Big Brother Lan..."
Lan Xingguo is the oldest, and his status is not low. In fact, in Li Dong's opinion, Lan Xingguo is more suitable to be the monitor.
In addition, Lan Xingguo helped him yesterday, so Li Dong was a little hesitant.
After all, Wu Yajun can see the benefits and be seen by others.
Li Dong's side is just like what Wu Yajun said, he doesn't need to fight. After two years, when Yuanfang grows bigger and stronger, the students should rush to find him at that time, and there is no need to try to win over this relationship.
But if Lan Xingguo wanted to fight, it would be a little troublesome.
Wu Yajun was not worried at all, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Big Brother Lan and Lao Wang won't fight."
"Do state-owned enterprises have scruples?"
"That's not true." Wu Yajun said with a smug smile, "The key is that we are rich!"
As soon as she said that, Li Dong burst out laughing.
This is true, people like them hardly have any AA system when they have dinner parties or something.
That being the case, someone must be in for a treat.
In addition, as the president of the classmate association, one must be prepared to entertain fellow students at any time. This amount of money is not a small amount.
Although the bosses of state-owned enterprises are not short of money, they may not be able to afford it for a long time.
But Li Dong and the others have no such scruples. It's really nothing to spend several million a year on entertainment.
This is why Wu Yajun was sure that Lan Xingguo and the others would not participate. After all, everyone is not an ordinary person. If a boss comes to your site, you can't let others live in a hotel worth hundreds of dollars and eat meals worth hundreds of dollars, right?
Although many people don't care too much about the things on the scene, they don't care if they don't care. Domestic countries are no better than foreign countries. Even if the guests really don't care, you, the host, can't take it seriously.
Otherwise, when you come down a few times, others will think you look down on him, but in the end you do bad things with good intentions.
Thinking of this, Li Dong nodded and said: "Success, that's no problem, I will definitely support you, Sister Wu!"
Wu Yajun immediately smiled like a flower and said, "I knew Dongzi was bright enough. Next time I come to the mountain city, my sister will treat you well."
"That's what you said, Sister Wu, don't let me really go later, you deliberately avoided me." Li Dong said half-jokingly.
Wu Yajun hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, sister, am I that kind of person?"
"Of course not, then it's settled."
Li Dong laughed again, and now Wu Yajun finally felt something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you feel like I fell into the pit?"
"It's nothing, Big Brother Lan is here, I'll go to meet you, let's go upstairs..."
Li Dong chuckled, didn't say any more, and hurried up to chat with Lan Xingguo.
As for the mountain city, Li Dong is really ready to go around when he has time.
This year, Yuanfang will enter the mountain city and Sichuan, and Wu Yajun has a good network there. With her help, it will be much easier for Li Dong to gain a foothold.
Although Lan Xingguo's side is also fine, but there are many people and multiple paths, and state-owned enterprises sometimes have restrictions after all, even if Wu Yajun doesn't seek Li Dong's relationship, Li Dong will not let her go.
After chatting with Lan Xingguo and the others, everyone saw that the time was almost up, so they went upstairs one after another.
...
The opening ceremony didn't start until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Compared with the day of the report, there are many more people today.
In the last report, Li Dong only met a dozen students, but this year everyone came together, and none of the 35 students was late.
When I came to the business school, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars just to be integrated into this network.
At this time, even if I have something to do, I will rush over when the school starts, otherwise the class will be for nothing.
If you make a bad first impression on others, it will be difficult to reverse it later.
The ceremony was presided over by a deputy dean surnamed Teng. The level was quite high, but the other party didn't say much academically.
Vice President Teng mainly talked about the philosophy of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, the purpose of its establishment, and some views of the founder of Xiangjiang Business School.
After he finished speaking, Xiang Bing came to the stage and said with a smile: "We are all top elites from all corners of the country. I will not talk about some commonplace things. Since we have come to Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, we are a family. We help each other, It is our purpose to establish friendship among classmates.
In terms of practical experience, I don’t think I can compare to you, but for some theoretical things, including some other aspects, if you have any doubts, you can ask me or other professors in the college..."
Xiang Bing talked eloquently for almost twenty minutes.
At the end, Xiang Bing changed his voice and said: "Some of you probably know each other, but some of you are still a little strange to you, and I won't say much about the rest. Whoever volunteers will first report his family name and know each other. one time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lan stood up with great support and said with a smile: "Dean, let me come first. I'm a veteran student of the academy, so I'll give you a head start."
Seeing this, Xiang Bing smiled and said, "Okay, then you come first."
"My name is Zhang Lan, from Hubei Province, I am 48 years old..."
Zhang Lan gave a brief introduction, but she didn't say which company's boss she was.
Xiang Bing waited for her to finish before adding: "Zhang Lan is the chairman of South Beauty, everyone, don't be too picky, and when you report yourself, you will also bring your company and group name with you. It's useless to hide it. We are all family members, are you still afraid of revealing your wealth?"
Everyone immediately laughed, and then Wu Yajun stood up and talked about his situation.
There are not many women in the class. After Wu Yajun finished speaking, he didn't know whether it was the men who were meek or the women who entered the class were all strong women. They rushed to introduce themselves one by one.
There were only five or six women in total, and there were not many words of introduction, and it was over soon.
After the ladies finished their introductions, a large group of men did not move. Seeing this, Xiang Bing laughed and said, "They are all the chairman and president of various groups. They are usually eloquent, but today they are shy. Okay, then I will call the roll, Li Dong, you are the youngest in the class, you give the big brothers a good start."
Seeing Xiang Bing pointing to him, Li Dong stood up and said, "My name is Li Dong, I'm from Jiangbei, I'm 22 years old, and I'm the chairman of Yuanfang Group."
After Li Dong was about to sit down, someone beside him said in surprise: "Brother Li, you are really 22!"
Li Dong had black lines on his face, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Lan, can I still lie to you?"
Lan Xingguo quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I heard that you are not very old, but I thought you looked tender, and you must be 25 or above. In the end, you gave me a blow. After a few years My grandson is almost as old as you..."
While he was talking, the people sitting next to him suppressed their laughter and trembled all over their bodies.
The corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "Brother Lan, is this a curse?"
It took Lan Xingguo a while to react, and he laughed suddenly: "No, no, I didn't mean that, but you are too young, how will I introduce you later..."
Seeing him explaining, Li Dong smiled and said: "Come on, don't explain, anyway, the meal I owe you is offset."
Lan Xingguo suddenly laughed, and the others also laughed.
Seeing their lively atmosphere, Xiang Bing on the stage also laughed and said, "Although Li Dong is young, he is capable. I won't advertise for Yuanfang Group. If you don't know anything, go back and look it up yourself. Let me tell you a little bit, Li Dong is the fifth king of diamonds.
Those who want to recruit a son-in-law can give it a try. I'm happy to see a strong alliance come to fruition. "
Xiang Bing was just joking. In fact, many people knew that Li Dong had a close relationship with Du Anmin's daughter, so everyone laughed it off.
But it's not that there are people who are really tempted. Anyway, Li Dong is not married, so maybe it's really interesting.
At Li Dong's stage, Du Anmin's help to him was not as great as expected.
It seems that it is not impossible to kick the daughter of the Du family at this time.
Of course, if you think about it, even if someone is really tempted, you won't show any abnormality at this time.
After Li Dong finished his introduction, the others followed suit.
Some people Li Dong had eaten together before, even if they were not familiar with each other, they still knew their names.
There are a few people I haven't seen before, like Ren Hongbing, the general manager and secretary of the party committee of Huaxia Machinery Industry Group, who has a high status.
Compared with the previous Lan Xingguo and Wang Minghui, among the heads of state-owned enterprises, he has the highest status.
Although the SINOMACH has not yet been reorganized and has not reached the ranks of the world's top 500 in the future, it is among the top 500 in China.
Moreover, Ren Hongbing will soon become the chairman of the group, which is even more unusual.
In addition to this, Li Dong also met several heads of private enterprises, who are also well-known in the country.
After everyone's introduction, Li Dong realized that he seemed to be the only one from Jiangbei.
Among the private entrepreneurs, most of them are the heads of enterprises in the coastal areas.
As for state-owned enterprises, there are all over the country, but there are no state-owned enterprises in Jiangbei.
Looking at the big from the small, Li Dong has to sigh with emotion that compared with the coastal areas, the gap between the central and western regions is quite obvious.
