The next morning, Sun Quan came to his office at Xianyu Studio. The first thing he did was make tea, and the second thing was to call Teacher Tan Yuxintan.
Last night, he and his wife Yuan Shuiqing had already discussed the matter of soliciting sponsorship for the reconstruction of the teaching building of M University.
I called Teacher Qin at this time just to get a reply from Teacher Qin.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello? Sun Quan, did you call me today? Have you...already thought about it?"
On the phone, Qin Yuxin's voice came.
Sun Quan stood at the window looking at the scenery outside the window with a smile on his face, "Well, yes! I can't keep you waiting for a long time, teacher! Haha."
Qin Yuxin: "Haha, the teacher thanked you. By the way, is it good news?"
Sun Quan hummed again, "Yes! That's good news."
Qin Yuxin: "How much do you plan to sponsor?"
Sun Quan pressed his left hand on the window sill, tapping his fingers repeatedly, with a smile on his face and a casual tone, "Ten million!"
Qin Yuxin exclaimed, "Really? Are you sure? Are you kidding me? Are you sure you will sponsor 10 million?"
This number is the result of Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing's discussion last night.
The couple both felt that since they decided to sponsor, they should be more generous and let the entire M University remember this sponsorship and the generosity of their husband and wife.
This is the same principle as giving gifts. If the gift is not heavy enough, the person receiving the gift will not remember it too much.
Of course, whether it is Sun Quan or Yuan Shuiqing, they are both businessmen. For the sake of Teacher Tan's face, they can sponsor a little, but they cannot sponsor 10 million just for Teacher Tan's face.
Sponsoring so much money, of course they have their purpose.
The smile on Sun Quan's face grew bigger. Only if he could surprise Teacher Qin, could he possibly surprise the leaders of his alma mater. Only if he surprised those leaders could his conditions be considered by the leaders of his alma mater.
"Teacher! You heard it right! I can sponsor 10 million, but I have two or three conditions. If the school can agree, I can donate 10 million."
"You say it, you say it! I'm listening!"
On the other side of the phone, Tan Yuxin had become the center of attention in the entire office. All the teachers were staring at her with different expressions, watching her make this call.
She could no longer sit still and stood at the desk, her face flushed with excitement.
Sun Quan: "First, when the teaching building is rebuilt this time, our cooking class can also move there for classes. We can no longer let the junior students in our major continue to stay in the adult education building."
What he wants to recruit most every year is fresh graduates from the cooking class of his alma mater, especially the best among them. Therefore, he puts forward this condition just to make the junior students in the cooking class treat him and his 99 yellow.
I have a good impression of braised chicken, and I have had a good impression of it since I started school, during my freshman year.
With this good impression, his 99 Braised Chicken will be able to get twice the result with half the effort every year when it recruits interns.
Qin Yuxin's eyes lit up. She was a cooking class teacher. Students didn't like having classes in the adult education building. Did she, a teacher, want to teach students in the adult education building?
Usually, teachers like them have made requests to the department and the school, and want to move the cooking class into the teaching building, but they are just for the school's job, and they are indifferent. The leaders above do not care about their opinions!
But Sun Quan took advantage of this sponsorship opportunity to make such a request, which was different.
Sun Quan is now a sponsor. For the 10 million he promised, the school leaders will definitely consider his condition.
Her heart became hot, and she felt like she was in love for the first time.
Uh, okay! That metaphor is not accurate.
"What about the second condition?" Qin Yuxin asked.
Sun Quan: "The second one is not a big deal, I just want a priority."
Qin Yuxin frowned slightly, a little confused, "What priority do you want?"
Sun Quan: "Every year for our culinary graduating class, the interns have priority. To put it simply, my company recruits interns first, teacher! Isn't this condition of mine excessive?"
Tan Yuxin frowned even more tightly.
He secretly said that this kid has a huge appetite. Every year, the interns in our cooking class are always in demand. How many five-star hotels want this priority...
But also because of hearing this condition, she suddenly understood why Sun Quan was willing to give 10 million yuan in sponsorship.
She estimated that this might be Sun Quan's real purpose and what he wanted most.
She was suddenly a little afraid of his third condition now, and she didn't know what his third condition was.
"What about the third condition? What else do you want?"
Even through the phone, Sun Quan could feel Teacher Tan's nervousness from Teacher Tan's tone, which made Sun Quan burst into laughter.
In fact, his third condition is relatively simple. At least for University M, it is very easy to achieve and does not require any real effort.
"Teacher, the third condition... Haha, I'm really embarrassed to say it! It's really hard to say it out loud, haha."
He seemed a little embarrassed.
This inevitably made Qin Yuxin think about it, what is this guy's third condition?
It’s not like... he wants to choose a beautiful woman from our school’s graduating class to be his secretary, right?
She seemed to be thinking wrongly, but Sun Quan said that just now, can you blame her for thinking wrongly?
She had heard a lot about the shamelessness of rich people.
Sun Quan: "Haha, teacher, it's like this...I, I...well, my vanity may be a bit strong, so...so..."
Qin Yuxin's brows were already furrowed, "What do you want? Can you please hurry up?"
Sun Quan: "Well, okay! Then teacher, you can't laugh at me!"
Qin Yuxin rolled her eyes, "Well, no, how could the teacher laugh at you! Just say it quickly! After you finish speaking, I can convey your conditions to the leader as soon as possible."
Sun Quan: "Okay, then I'll tell you, teacher! My third condition is actually... when I want this teaching building to be built, I want to set up an inscription at the door, or just paste it directly on the wall.
,Uh, teacher, do you understand what I mean?"
Qin Yuxin was a little confused. She blinked and blinked again before guessing what he was thinking, "You...you want to write on the inscription of this teaching building...that you sponsored 10 million?"
By the window, Sun Quan was smiling all over his face, but his tone was quite shy. What about his acting skills? After entering the society, who can’t have some acting skills?
"Well, teacher, do you think this condition is excessive?"
Doing good deeds without leaving a name is not his style.
Besides, if you give away 10 million real money and silver without even seeking a reputation, isn’t that the same as throwing it into the water?
As long as the school agrees to erect such a monument and engrave his sponsorship of 10 million on the inscription, then after batches of students in the school graduate and batches of new students come in, some people will still notice it.
According to the inscription, he sponsored 10 million yuan.
In this way, you can continue to leave a good impression in the minds of batches of new students.
It will definitely be beneficial to the long-term development of his company.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, sponsorship is just giving money away for free.
But Sun Quan felt that this was also a business.
The only difference is that in this kind of transaction, most people can't see what they buy, and they think it's a free gift. In fact, how can there be any free lunch in this world?
Everyone has grown up, please stop being so childish, okay?
Tan Yuxin didn't expect the deep meaning behind Sun Quan's condition. She really thought that Sun Quan's third condition was purely because of his vanity!
She felt it was a bit funny, and at the same time she felt relieved. She believed that if the leaders above agreed to this condition, they would be very happy.
In fact, the sponsorship of a building like this is generally followed by Li's inscription.
Some fully-sponsored buildings are even named after their sponsors.
For example: Yi Fu Building.
Like Sun Quan, asking only for the erection of a monument rather than the naming rights of the building is not an excessive request at all.
"Okay, I remember the three conditions you just mentioned. I will convey these three requirements to the leader later. By the way, do you have any other requirements? If so, just say them all at once.
Don't look back and come up with new conditions, add them to me one by one!"
"No, teacher! I only have these three conditions. If the school can agree to it, the 10 million sponsorship I mentioned will definitely be in place. I'd like Teacher to help convey it, haha."
"Okay, if that's the case, let's stop here first? I'll report this to the leaders first. When the leaders have their opinions, I'll convey them to you?"
"Okay, see you later, teacher!"
"goodbye!"
…
The call ends here.
By the window, Sun Quan turned around, threw his cell phone on the desk, picked up the boiled water, and rushed it into the purple clay pot where the tea leaves had been placed. His movements were skillful and slow.
Regarding the three conditions he just mentioned, he believes that only the second condition may be rejected or bargained for by the leaders of his alma mater.
As for the first and third conditions, it should be easy for those leaders to agree to them.
…
at the same time.
In the office where Qin Yuxin was located, as Qin Yuxin put down her mobile phone, all the teachers in the office gathered around her. Well, actually there were not many teachers.
Qin Yuxin has been bombarded with questions.
"Teacher Qin! Who called you just now? Ten million? What ten million?"
"Sister Qin! What's so good? Tell us quickly!"
"That's right! Teacher Qin, please satisfy our curiosity! Teacher Qin, you are so weird now. Are you talking about big deals worth tens of millions on a single phone call?"
…
The reply from my alma mater did not come so quickly.
Perhaps such matters need to be discussed by the leaders at a meeting! Domestic affairs are like this, public affairs, everything must be discussed in a meeting, and sometimes several meetings must be held to discuss it, but it may not be discussed in the end.
What is the result?
Of course, Sun Quan was not waiting in the office for Teacher Qin's reply.
After drinking a cup of tea, smoking a cigar, and opening the document, he began to prepare for coding.
As a result, he had just started the chapter here and had only coded a few hundred words before he was interrupted.
The cell phone rang.
The caller ID showed it was not Teacher Qin Yuxin.
It was Xue Zihan, the partner and general manager of Xianyu Film and Television.
Why is she calling at this time?
Sun Quan was a little surprised. After all, several of their partners often held video conferences at night. Normal matters could be discussed during video conferences.
"Hello? Sister Xue, what are your orders?"
After answering the phone, Sun Quan made a joke.
Xue Zihan: "Mr. Sun is joking, how am I qualified to give orders to you, Boss Sun? I just want to ask how is the new drama script you hired someone to write?"
"Is that the reason?"
Sun Quan frowned, a little disbelieving.
Such a question can be asked in a video conference. Is it necessary to make a phone call in the early morning?
Xue Zihan: "Is this a small matter? Well, okay! I just asked the question casually. What I really want to ask is... the director of the new drama, have you decided who to find? Are you not planning to wait?
Now that the script is completely written, how about looking for a director? Let me tell you, the better directors now are very busy. Like big stars, their schedules also need to be booked. I think we should seize the time to find a director now.
Yes, what do you think?"
Sun Quan is not very familiar with directors in the film and television industry.
He is said to be familiar because he has watched many movies and TV series before, and also read many entertainment-related online articles, so he knows a lot about some well-known domestic directors.
When he said he was not familiar with them, he was referring to directors who were under the famous directors.
The directors he knew were all very famous, but with the current reputation and strength of him and Xianyu Film and Television, he was obviously not qualified to hire those well-known directors to make a TV series.
Therefore, there is really no director that he can think of that is suitable for directing this "This Daddy Is Unusual" movie.
This is mainly related to the fact that he used to watch TV series and didn't pay attention to the director's name.
He only remembered a few TV dramas he had watched. The filming was pretty good and the director should be capable.
I just don’t know if I can invite people here.
For example, he had seen the drama "Capital Youth" and thought it was pretty good, but he couldn't remember who the director was.
For example, in the drama "Run, Dad", he remembered that Bald Xu starred in it. He also remembered that the name of the heroine in that drama was very similar to that of his wife Yuan Shuiqing. He remembered that the heroine in that drama was named Yuan Shuiyao.
.
In addition to these two dramas, he can think of several other dramas that are also of good quality.
While he was thinking here, he quickly searched for the directors of those dramas on his computer.
He did not dare to tell Xue Zihan immediately on the phone the names of the dramas he remembered because he was worried that one of them had not yet been officially aired and filming had not started yet.
Therefore, Xue Zihan on the other end of the phone felt confused for a moment.
Making a phone call... There is no image to understand, why is there even no sound?
Well, it wasn't that there was no sound at all. She could faintly hear the sound of Sun Quan typing on his computer keyboard from time to time.
But this is even weirder! I was on the phone with him, and I was still talking just now! Why does he seem to be concentrating on typing and writing his crappy manuscript now?
Is there anyone so disrespectful?
He doesn't think the phone has been hung up, right?
"Hi! Mr. Sun, what are you doing? Are you still listening? Why aren't you talking?"
