“Does the Alumni Association President have any power in the school?”
"Theoretically there is no such thing."
Lin Yi suddenly thought of a sentence called "In principle it is possible, but it means it is not possible; in principle it is not possible, but it means it is possible." It seemed to be similar to this situation.
The Chinese language is indeed broad and profound.
"Chen Mingzhang said that he was highly respected, and even if he was, he shouldn't be in academia, so what he really meant was that he was in a high position of power."
"In fact, Taishan Group and himself have large endowment funds in the school. These funds are not completely left to the school's free disposal. He still has a great say in the operation of the fund."
"On the other hand, Taishan Group has always been a large employer of school graduates, so being an alumnus of the Liu family provides some convenience."
"Some words cannot be said in too much detail, but the school also has to worry about the possible consequences if he is not satisfied."
"You may understand better when I say this. Although we are a public university, to a certain extent, Liu Taishan is already the de facto director of the school."
Lin Yi was not even born when Taishan Group started, and he can almost be regarded as one of the first people to "get rich first".
Although today’s netizens look down on Taishan Group, and they have long since “left Asia and moved to the United States,” in the early days, it was still considered a “high-tech industry.”
At that time, it was as popular in China as Uber in Silicon Valley today. When it acquired the PC business from IBM, the whole country celebrated it. As a national brand, it was a source of pride.
I thought it was the beginning, but who would have thought it would be the peak.
No matter what, his seniority in the IT industry is even higher than that of the three famous giants today, and Majek doesn't dare to take advantage of him.
And Liu Taishan's personal influence, through long-term operation and so many years of fermentation, has long been beyond the scope of Taishan Group and the IT industry.
In many cases, he is a flag.
If we don't consider the current situation of Wanli Travel and only look at the valuation, Lin Yi, as the largest shareholder, can actually be called a "rich man".
But in terms of how to use money to exchange influence in a reasonable and reasonable way, Lin Yi feels that he still has a lot to learn from those "old money".
If he had known in advance that today would happen, at least he would have had a better relationship with the school.
After Lin Yi came out from Chen Mingzhang's place, he was still looking for Li Feifei. The female professor probably understood the current situation and asked again:
"Then what does he want?"
"Chen Mingzhang told me bluntly that Liu Taishan proposed that students like me who do not abide by the teaching order should be expelled from school as a warning to others."
"Expelled from school?"
This punishment was much more severe than they initially expected. Li Feifei wondered: "The school won't be so unkind, right? You are also a well-known alumnus that JD has been promoting, so the school won't be able to show off your face."
Lin nodded and said: "I think so too. Chen Mingzhang hinted that if I want to resolve this matter, it is best to go to Liu Taishan to negotiate peace in private. If the other party, Songkou School, will not go into details, I think this is the purpose of his troubles."
Already."
Li Feifei is also very clear about Lin Yi's current situation: "Liu Taishan is attacking you at this time, is it because of the Shenzhou special car or because of her daughter's taxi?"
Lin Yi secretly guessed that it was for Liu Qing, because the news that the female CEO had breast cancer and went to the United States for treatment had been announced.
But the reason didn't matter to him.
"Whether his purpose is to take a taxi from Shenzhou or to take a taxi to Dudu, I don't intend to see Liu Taishan."
"I will neither agree to any of his conditions nor give in to his threats. The meeting is just another quarrel."
"Taishan Taishan, no matter whether he is the supreme master of the five mountains or is appointed by heaven, I have no chance to experience the majesty of this senior figure in the world."
Li Feifei asked: "Are you planning to give up this degree?"
It would be understandable if Lin Yi simply did not want this degree as a female professor. There are many well-known entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley who gave up their studies to start their own businesses.
For example, Kalanick from Uber, she thought it would be quite a coincidence if this was the case.
"No, I will continue to fight for it, but I will not make any exchange of interests with Liu Taishan."
"School matters should be settled within the school. Although Liu Taishan is very important, Kyodian is not a place where he can cover the sky with one hand."
"If the school finally forces me to drop out, then I have no choice but to accept the result."
In fact, whether Lin Yi can obtain a bachelor's degree now will not have any impact on his current career or future life.
He thought that his only obsession with this degree might be that he did not want his official information to show that he had a high school degree in the future.
Lin Yi was somewhat sure in his heart that the reason Liu Taishan was so aggressive was because he had a business grudge against his own Wanli Travel.
Generally speaking, schools don't do things right.
It took a lot of effort to "cultivate" such an entrepreneurial star. Although it seems a bit unsatisfactory now, if he drops out of school, it will be a clean break. Even if Lin Yi is a little vindictive, it can be said that he will turn against him.
Why bother?
After thinking about the countermeasures, Lin Yi certainly would not go back to find Chen Mingzhang. Even if that guy was not colluding with Liu Taishan, at least he was not easy to deal with.
Lin Yi still knows a few other school leaders, but he is not familiar with them. However, there is no need to worry too much at this time. First, find someone to solve the problem.
His complaints to the school mainly focused on several aspects:
The first is that although he did violate the rules, he did not attend classes in the previous semesters, and the exams were still counted as credits. This matter was negotiated with the school and approved;
The second is that he really lacked consideration in this matter. If he hurt the feelings of ordinary classmates, he was willing to accept assessment through various methods to prove that he met the graduation requirements.
In fact, there is a third point, but it’s just not convenient to talk about it publicly.
Inspired by Liu Taishan's influence in the school, Lin Yi made a clear promise to the school leaders in private that in order to thank his alma mater for the cultivation, he would repay the school in the future.
Generally speaking, the school leaders who received Lin Yi were satisfied with his statement, but they did not easily agree to Zhou Quan's matter.
Their rhetoric was still the same, they just wanted to hold a meeting to study it, so Lin Yi didn't have to worry about going back and waiting for news.
This is not purely perfunctory. The organizational form of a school is different from that of a company. It is true that no one person can have the final say alone on such major issues.
Lin Yi was mainly worried that if this matter dragged on for a long time, he gave Liu Taishan more time to fully exert his influence.
As for how far and deep this powerful figure's tentacles can extend, Lin Yi doesn't want to experience it by trying it himself.
However, as the saying goes, it is up to fate to do everything. After trying all the methods he could think of, he could only wait for the results to appear.
It was not until after doing these things that Lin Yi returned to the company and told his senior sister.
