Chapter 337 - Take the quota of international students in exchange
Although Chen Geng said it very politely, no one felt that there was anything wrong with Chen Geng's words and the logic behind it.
Chen Geng's logic is the standard American business logic: Why should I take you to play where I can easily make money? The reason why I take you to play with me is because you can help me make money.
Don't say that Fernandez will do this, if it is him, he will do the same.
As for Zhang Zongping, the whole person was already trembling with excitement: pie in the sky!
He did not expect that after the last time he had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the embassy, he made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with him, and Chen Geng actually announced this matter again in front of everyone at this time.
The more he learned, the more he felt that this computer hypermarket was simply a huge money printing machine, and with such a money printing machine, his family would not have to worry about running out of food for the next 20 or even 30 years.
Thinking that he had only done Chen Geng a few small favors before, but Chen Geng had given himself such a big reward, his heart was hot for a while!
But it's not like no one has an opinion.
As soon as Chen Geng's words were finished, someone immediately asked in a loud voice: "Mr. Fernandez, may I ask the Mr. Zhang you designated, what qualifications does he have for such treatment?"
Chen Geng glanced at it, but he didn't see who the guy who was speaking: "This gentleman, can you stand up?"
"It's me," a gray-haired, freckled white man in his fifties stood up, and in the face of Chen Geng's words, he behaved very calmly: "Mr. Fernandez, I'm Crawford Prince from Miami." ”
Crawford Prince from Miami, Florida?
Of course Chen Geng knows this guy, this old man is the largest lumber merchant and furniture merchant in Florida, and there is also a paper chief who is said to be ranked number one in the United States, and he is also a guest on the latest issue of the American "Fortune 500...... Yes, this guy is one of the 500 richest people in the United States, and at this stage, he is even richer than Chen Geng.
But after receiving Chen Geng's invitation, he still came, and the reason why he was willing to give Chen Geng this face was because fools know that Forbes' "American Fortune 500" list was announced before Fernandez's computer hypermarket began to operate, and it is normal that there is no Fernandez Chen's name on it, but Chen Geng's name will inevitably be included in the next year's "American Fortune 500", and it is very likely to be relatively high, in fact, the social status of the two is basically the same.
"Hello Mr. Prince," Chen Geng nodded, facing such a billionaire, Chen Geng must give people enough respect: "Are you doubting my rigor in choosing partners?"
"No, I'm just curious," Crawford Prince nodded, and shook his head again: "As far as I know, it seems that this Mr. Zhang Zongping's fortune is only a few million dollars...... It shouldn't be more than $3 million, so I'm a little curious, how did he get a co-op qualification?"
Chen Geng looked at these billionaires worth millions or tens of millions in front of him, obviously, they also thought so.
It is true that they can accept that someone has been qualified, which is normal in business cooperation, but there must be a good reason.
"Mr. Zhang Zongping's personal wealth and family wealth is indeed not much, if the amount of wealth alone, Mr. Zhang does not seem to be qualified to cooperate in any case, let alone the internal determination, I also said realistically, if I rely on strength alone, I will never choose to cooperate with Mr. Zhang Zongping," Chen Geng did not shy away from saying that Zhang Zongping's strength was not enough to support this cooperation, as for the reasons and reasons for choosing Zhang Zongping to cooperate, Chen Geng's explanation is like this......
"But I still settled on Mr. Zhang Zongping, because when my company was just established, well, at that time, Fernandez Company was still a micro second-hand car sales company established with a bank loan of 20,000 US dollars or 30,000 US dollars that I had just obtained as collateral for a small apartment left to me by my parents.
But maybe it's a special fate, since that time, Mr. Zhang Zongping has provided me with a lot of help and helped me avoid a lot of troubles, for which I am very, very grateful, it can be said that without Mr. Zhang's help, it is very likely that there would be no Fernandez...... Maybe you've been tossed up by the damn gangsters in Detroit for a long time and are still struggling......"
Zhang Zongping, who was standing in the crowd, was flushed when he listened.
Of course, he knew that not everything Chen Geng said was true, when did he meet Fernandez......? Oh, at that time it was not called an embassy, it was still a liaison office at that time...... At the time of the invitation, Fernandez already had dozens of ****** under his command, which was something that all Detroit gangsters did not dare to provoke.
When he said this, he was completely putting gold on his face!
But after thinking about it seriously, Zhang Zongping still didn't stand up: What are you doing when you stand up? Say Chen Geng, what you said is not right, the situation at that time was not like this, the situation at that time was like this...... Let's go, let's go, isn't this for Chen Geng?!
Chen Geng didn't know that Zhang Zongping's heart was still so entangled, and after saying that Zhang Zongping had helped him, he asked Crawford Prince rhetorically: "...... Mr. Prince, with Mr. Zhang's help to me, do you think Mr. Zhang is eligible for a co-op spot?"
What else could Crawford Prince say, he only nodded: "Of course." ”
Chen Geng has already said this, what else can you say, people are giving back to the person who helped him in his most difficult time, whether in the West or in the East, this is a virtue worthy of praise...... Capital is, of course, cold-blooded and ruthless, but what capitalist doesn't want to cooperate with such a humane and grateful person?
No one is stupid, and we all know the benefits of working with such a grateful person: I helped him when he was in trouble today, and he will help me when I am in trouble one day in the future.
That's enough!
With Chen Geng's explanation, no one questioned Zhang Zongping's qualifications for this cooperation quota.
Chen Geng changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, there is another condition, if you friends think that you can meet my condition, you can also get a qualified internal determination, of course, this may be more difficult." ”
Well?
Is there another qualification that can be obtained?
As soon as Chen Geng's words came out, although no one spoke, many people's eyes lit up: they are all people with status, if they can, who is willing to compete for a qualification with others?
Chen Geng didn't have time to sell it, and said: "Everyone knows that I am a Chinese, and I also have some business in Huaxia, well, in order to make my business in Huaxia more smooth and have a better public image, I set up an education fund for Chinese students a few days ago, this foundation will provide some help to those Chinese students studying in the United States, and will also provide some additional study abroad places,"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "But it's a pity that I don't have any special relationship in the American education community, especially the higher education industry, so if anyone can provide me with such a study abroad quota...... I need to emphasize that this quota is fixed and available every year, and of course, I also emphasize that the results of these Chinese students will definitely be able to meet the qualifications of their schools to recruit international students...... This predetermined qualification is given to whomever it is.
If there are more than one esteemed gentleman who can offer this place, then it is fair that the final place will be decided based on the number of places offered and the quality of the university, right?"
That's fair indeed.
As for Chen Geng's explanation of why he wants to provide financial aid and study places for Chinese students, he has also been recognized by these American tycoons, because this is also very much in line with their original intention of doing this kind of fund and other charitable funds: if it is not beneficial, stupid X will not do it!
Crawford Prince is worthy of being a veteran rich man in Florida, and he is also worthy of being the richest among the richest people present, and he felt that he was the first to compete for this qualification with others, and he said: "I have a good relationship with the University of Florida, and if you ensure that these Chinese students can meet the requirements of the University of Florida for international students, I can help you coordinate 20 international student places." ”
20 international student places at the University of Florida? Chen Geng was a little surprised!
