Chapter 660 Golden Signboard
Tian Yuan was very surprised when he learned that Chen Qiaoshan recommended Liu Wei.
The forum has only been three or four years since it was today. The participants are basically friends who are familiar in the circle. They invite them to ski and talk around the fire. They were originally an immature idea, but they did not expect that the scale will grow.
Everyone is a businessman, and there is no shortage of common topics. Those who can enter the circle are basically the most successful private enterprise bosses in China, but birds of a feather flock together. Unlike ordinary entrepreneurs, these people are all cultured and well-educated, and they are very crisis-conscious.
When you reach a billion-dollar scale, it is generally long-term to consider problems. It is not difficult to make money at the moment, but how to be a rich person is what they are worried about.
Tian Yuan himself is the backbone of the circle. As one of the representative figures of the 1992 faction, he knew very well that the group of private entrepreneurs around him could not play with it. Although he didn't like economists, his business was already tied to the national fortune to the extent of his business. If he wanted to survive, he needed to find a real economic think tank to seek medical consultation, so that he had a plan to set up a research center and invite chief economists.
Tsinghua and Peking University have gathered the most economic experts. If Liu Wei can be invited, the value of the Yabuli Forum will undoubtedly be higher than the next level.
But after deep thought, Tian Yuan's suspicion came.
Liu Wei is the leader of the young and strong school and the president of the School of Scholars. His future is immeasurable. It is definitely appropriate to ask him to be the chief economist, but from the beginning, Liu Wei was not on Tian Yuan's list.
Guanghua was independent from the scholastic school, but the two now have obviously different emphasis.
Guanghua is the leading business school in China, focusing on economics management, while the school focuses on research in economics, lacking a little business atmosphere and adding an academic atmosphere to the world.
At Peking University, Guanghua has always been a pilot program of reform, but the School of Science and Technology has always followed the rules. Liu Wei is an economist, but he is also an official in the system. It is quite difficult to ask him to do it.
Although Chen Qiaoshan claims to be Professor Yan’s disciple, the real situation is still unknown, but opportunities cannot be missed. Whether the other party is a broker or a liar, Tian Yuan doesn’t mind having a deep chat.
"Brother Chen, are you here on behalf of Dean Liu today?" Tian Yuan's question was very straightforward.
The 92-sect all of them left the system. After the southern tour of Deng Gong, they went into the market one after another. None of them could do this today.
Chen Qiaoshan could probably guess Tian Yuan’s thoughts, and was just a fool to them. He was completely humiliating himself, and there was no need to say that. He said directly: “Director Liu doesn’t know yet.”
Tian Yuan was stunned. If Chen Qiaoshan was a broker, he would have reached a tacit understanding with Liu Wei. It seems that it does not exist now. If he was to say that if he was a liar, Tian Yuan would not know it. Others don’t know Chen Qiaoshan’s ability, but he knows it a little bit.
At the end of last year, crude oil prices fluctuated, and the market showed the largest single-month amplitude in history. The crude oil futures market was wailing, but Chen Qiaoshan accurately predicted the trend in advance. As a veteran in the domestic futures industry, Tian Yuan knew what this meant.
When the two met, Chen Qiaoshan said that they wanted to be Lu Jian the second. Tian Yuan thought in his mind that if nothing unexpected happened, Lu Jian should have become the past, and Chen Qiaoshan may be the most successful futures speculator.
Tian Yuan thought to himself, but he had no intention of asking questions. The two could talk about the market, but they were not yet familiar enough to talk about positions. "Brother Chen, since President Liu doesn't know, then who are you here this time?"
"Dean Liu is also a student of Professor Yan, and he is my senior brother." Chen Qiaoshan straightened the relationship in a few words in order to make Tian Yuan feel at ease for the time being, but his role is limited. Now it is no longer as before. The inheritance of the master is almost gone. The key is to rely on the person.
Tian Yuan believed it because he was the core of the Dong-based entrepreneur. Due to business relations, he needed to deal with people of all kinds. It can be said that he had friends all over the world, but only those classmates could really make friends with each other.
"The School of Economics is preparing a new research institution recently. I encountered some difficulties in funding. Senior Brother Liu just took over the position of dean last year and was determined to make some achievements. I happened to come to Harbin, so I took this trip on my own initiative."
Chen Qiaoshan did not mention Professor Yan. It involved the exchange of interests. Before the matter was agreed, there was no need to let the old man know, "If I was right, always Tian wanted to make Yabuli a domestic version of winter Davos, right?"
Tian Yuan smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
He must have ideas, but if he really wants to say it in front of outsiders, he will be a little ignorant. Davos is the Global Economic Forum, and Yabuli has just started. Whether it is involved in the level or influence, both are still completely different.
As far as Chen Qiaoshan knows, many people in China spend millions of millions of dollars to attend the WEF every year, which is more luxurious than spending millions of dollars to have lunch with Buffett ten years later. Even if Tian Yuan does not do business, he can survive in the officialdom or academic circles. The educated nouveau riche is still nouveau riche, but his ideas and pursuits are different from ordinary people.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "It is very forward-looking in economic forums, but if you are just a group of entrepreneurs, it may be difficult to form a long-term mechanism. Just like Davos, economists are not the protagonists, but they will never be absent. My senior brother Liu is proficient in industrial economics and macroeconomics, and is the leader of the young generation in the academic world. If Mr. Tian is interested, I am willing to be a member of the middle class and promote the cooperation between the two."
If you can cooperate with Liu Wei, it is not only as simple as inviteing a chief economist, but also possible to pull the banner and become a tiger skin. For Tian Yuan, this is of course a good thing.
As a businessman, weighing the pros and cons is instinct, Tian Yuan did not agree rashly. He still understood the principle of equivalent exchange. If you want to invite Liu Wei, you will inevitably have to pay the price. Tian Yuan stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Tell me, how much funds are needed for the project in the scholastic institute?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how much fund is missing from the scholastic institute. The key is whether Mr. Tian has great sincerity?"
Tian Yuan's face was a little dark. Since Chen Qiaoshan said that, he was already prepared to speak loudly. But after all, he was not surprised. He wanted to hire a Buddha, and the money for indulgence and oil must not be saved. He asked directly: "Brother Chen, you and I are not outsiders. Tell me, how much do you need?"
Seeing Tian Yuan's attitude, Chen Qiaoshan stopped going around and said, "If you just ask President Liu to be the chief economist, 10 million is enough. Of course, this money is for the college. If Mr. Tian can pay 5 million US dollars, I may be able to match the forum and the school to cooperate in depth."
Even though Tian Yuan was ready to be blackmailed, he still took a breath when he heard the offer. He opened his mouth and started at eight digits. Even if he had a net worth of billions, Tian Yuan was shocked. The money was not a small amount. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Chen, the forum is a startup capital sponsored by several friends. How could it be possible to take out such a large amount of money."
This is obviously an excuse, but Chen Qiaoshan did not mean to expose it.
In addition to being the annual financial leaders summit, Davos is also a profitable business. The same is true for Yabuli Forum. It is not difficult to guess Tian Yuan’s thoughts. In addition to taking the opportunity to set up Yabuli’s signature, the commercialization of the forum must also be in its planning.
Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Tian, since the forum has been operating at a loss, I have a suggestion that it may help the forum solve the funding problem."
Tian Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "What proposal?"
"I can give the sponsorship of five million US dollars." Chen Qiaoshan's tone was quite calm, but Tian Yuan's face changed again. After all, it was learned from the shopping mall. He quickly returned to Qingming Festival. He paid for his own efforts for profit after all, and Chen Qiaoshan was of course no exception.
"What about the request?" Tian Yuan looked at the young man sitting opposite him and felt a little sad. At this age, not to mention five million, five hundred yuan was a huge sum of money.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's very simple. I want all rights and interests of the forum including advertising and sponsorship in the next five years." Chen Qiaoshan said.
Tian Yuan was shocked and confused. The annual meeting has only been held in a small range until this year. Not to mention the balance of income and expenditure, it only costs millions of dollars a year for a train direct from Yanjing to Yabuli, plus the cost of guests accommodation and round-trip air tickets.
As for copying the Davos sponsor's approach, Tian Yuan must have this idea, but it has not been implemented yet. He originally planned to start trial next year, but unexpectedly, he was already thinking about Chen Qiaoshan.
The offer price of 5 million US dollars in five years is still quite considerable, but Tian Yuan immediately rejected it.
Although he could not see the future commercial potential of Yabuli Forum, he could not get up early without profit. Since Chen Qiaoshan dared to offer such a high price, he must have some reliance. Out of the instinctive reaction of the merchant, Tian Yuan quickly made a decision. He said: "We might as well talk about this later. Let's talk about the sponsorship fee amount first."
Chen Qiaoshan could hear that Tian Yuan almost refused.
The offer price of 5 million US dollars is indeed not low, but it is definitely worth it. If you can win this contract, you can at least double the profit in five years, which is not considered additional income.
Thinking of having dates or not, Chen Qiaoshan then offered a high price. If he didn't have a trap, he wouldn't be very disappointed.
Chen Qiaoshan probably knew that he had been a little too hard just now. Although Tian Yuan was from an intellectual, he definitely did not lack business acumen, otherwise his company would never be able to achieve its current scale.
Since there is no way to get a bargain, Chen Qiaoshan no longer entangled, "Mr. Tian, the sponsorship of the Institute of Economics is not up to me, but one thing is that Peking University is a golden signboard, which is also related to Dean Liu. I have no room to make concessions in my offer."
After all, Peking University has done a lot of things to sell signatures at a low price, such as Guanghua’s college name, which is quite cheap. However, in the 1990s, the naming rights of Pengcheng Business School were later sold for 150 million yuan, which led to the HSBC Business School, which attracted a lot of criticism.
Chen Qiaoshan has considered this issue. Of course, Professor Yan doesn’t need 10 million, but the signs of the School of Scholars and Liu Wei must be worth the price, so he will naturally not sell them at a low price.
When Tian Yuan heard the statement of "golden signboard", he was still moved.
Later generations, the menstruation advertisements on the streets and alleys could be named Peking University, but now they can be regarded as a golden signboard. If Liu Wei can be brought up and then cooperated with the School of Economics, this will be quite obvious to the forum.
"Money is not a problem, but how do you say the specific cooperation plan?" Tian Yuan was also quite decisive. Once he made a choice, he would no longer be able to drag him down.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that the matter had been mostly done, so he smiled and said, "I am only responsible for sending messages in the middle. The specific cooperation plan will be left to you for an interview with Dean Liu."
Tian Yuan was simply and Chen Qiaoshan was also very direct. The two of them immediately finalized the subsequent negotiation schedule, and it was only a cup of tea before and after.
Although he had not communicated with Liu Wei yet, Chen Qiaoshan was very confident in implementing this matter.
In the competition with Guanghua, the School of Economics is at a disadvantage. If it does not change, it will even be overtaken by the National Development Institute, which is the future. In view of Professor Yan's efforts, Chen Qiaoshan will naturally not be vague.
