Chapter 361: Meeting
"I've decided - get Baizhu at all costs!"
In the conference room of Yongzhou Wuhan University, President Zuo Weizheng said categorically.
Brush!
As Zuo Weizheng said this, the conference room became dead silent for a moment, and everyone had a shocked look on their faces.
Moments later, there was an uproar.
"No way!"
"I disagree!"
"I don't agree either!"
"Baizhu's talent is indeed outstanding, but it definitely can't reach the point where we can get him at all costs!"
"That's right, the deeds of Wuzhou Wuda back then were indeed very good, but that was just a special case. β
"Yes, we can't put the future of Yongzhou Wuda on a so-called genius. β
"The stakes are too big for us to lose. β
In the conference room, except for Zuo Weizheng and some people who were moved by him, the rest of the participants all showed expressions of disapproval.
"Alright, it's all quiet!"
Seeing that the conference room was out of order, Zuo Weizheng knocked on the table.
After a long time, waiting for everyone to calm down a little, Zuo Weizheng said slowly: "Everyone, do you know how many years our Yongzhou Martial Arts University has been ranked at the bottom of the nine martial arts universities in Huaguo?"
When everyone heard this, their faces darkened, and they were all silent.
"It's been eight years!"
Zuo Weizheng slapped the table excitedly and shouted, "Could it be that you haven't been enough to be the penultimate number one in the past eight years?"
A thin vice principal frowned and said, "But even so, we can't bet the future of Yongzhou Martial Arts University on Baizhu?"
"What's wrong with Atractylodes?"
Zuo Weizheng asked rhetorically: "Haven't you seen his performance in the martial arts assessment? You answered me with your conscience, put you in this year's martial arts assessment, who of you can do better than Baizhu?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't answer.
Baizhu's performance at this year's Martial Dao Awakening Ceremony can only be described in two words: perfect, which even they have to admit.
"You must know that this year's dance awakening is the most talented in the past five years, or even ten years. β
Zuo Weizheng said solemnly: "Whether it is Tian Qihang, Zhao Mengqi or Wang Chuan, any of these three people is the absolute number one material in his year, but in the face of Baizhu, the three of them together are not as good!"
"Principal Zuo, it's a bit biased when you say that. β
The other vice principal shook his head and said, "We can all see Baizhu's talent, and we think that we are inferior to him, and we even believe that in less than twenty years, Baizhu will inevitably become a martial arts masterβbut the key is whether his talent is worth the cost of us to keep it." β
The vice-principal's words immediately resonated with the others.
"Vice Principal Qin's words are reasonable, it's not that we don't want Baizhu, but that he is not worth everything we have to cultivate. β
"Yes, if we put everything in Yongzhou Wuda on Baizhu, if Baizhu grows up, it's okay to say, but if he can't grow up......"
"Although Baizhu's talent is excellent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare in ten years, but to say that we want to bet on the future of Yongzhou Wuda to obtain him, I am afraid it is a little worthless. β
"If we can let Baizhu choose us at a smaller price. β
"Yes, Baizhu is also our Yongzhou people after all, why don't you think of another way?"
......
Listening to these people's discussions, Zuo Weizheng became more and more angry the more he listened, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing Zuo Weizheng suddenly look a little crazy, everyone in the conference room quieted down, and looked at Zuo Weizheng in a daze and didn't understand what he was laughing at.
After a long time, Zuo Weizheng restrained the smile on his face, and then, his face was cold.
"Listen!"
His eyes were like lightning, and he looked at everyone coldly and shouted, "Listen to what you guys are talking about just now, huh?"
"It's you who say that it's rare to have a talent for atractylodes in ten years!"
"It's you who say that Baizhu will inevitably become a grandmaster after a few years!"
"It's still you who say that Baizhu has broken the record that Grandmaster Mo Yu has maintained for decades!"
"And then?"
"In the face of a peerless genius with outstanding talent and will become a grandmaster in the future, you don't think about how to recruit him into the school, you actually want to sign him at the smallest possible price - you tell me, who gave you the confidence that Baizhu will choose Yongzhou Wuda, the penultimate one, because of the local friendship, ah?!"
Hearing Zuo Weizheng's fierce question, the rest of the people were red-faced and didn't know how to speak.
Indeed, as Zuo Weizheng said, the whole world knows the genius of Baizhu, and now if you want to compete with Jingzhou Wuda and other high-level martial arts universities, how can you not show some sincerity?
"But I still don't think Baizhu is worthy of us gambling everything to fight for. β
After a moment of silence, Vice Principal Qin spoke again.
After speaking, without waiting for Zuo Weizheng to refute, Vice President Qin explained to himself: "Because-our Yongzhou Wuda can't afford to lose anymore!"
Hearing this, everyone, including Zuo Weizheng, fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Vice Principal Qin slowly spoke: "First of all, we all admit that the talent of Baizhu is indeed enough for any martial arts university to pay an extremely high price to fight for, and even Grandmaster Mo Yu will personally go down to accept Baizhu as an apprentice?"
Speaking of this, he changed his voice and continued: "However, we have to consider a return ratio in everything we do, and the primary question in front of us now is - compared with betting on everything in Yongzhou Wuda to fight for Baizhu, is the future of Baizhu worth our efforts?"
After speaking, he glanced at the people who were deep in thought and asked, "Or more directly, when will everything we pay for Baizhu today start to make a profit?"
"This ......"
Hearing Vice President Qin's question, Zuo Weizheng hesitated for a while.
When will it be profitable?
Who dares to guarantee this!
You must know that even Wuzhou Wuda, which fought for Grandmaster Qianyu at all costs, gradually reaped the rewards after ten years.
After all, no matter how demonic a genius is, it will take years or even more than ten years to grow from a martial artist to a grandmaster!
"But if we want to win the favor of Baizhu, do we have any other choice than to block everything?"
Zuo Weizheng's voice was full of helplessness: "What we can provide to Baizhu is the rest of Jingzhou, Wuzhou, and Hanzhou...... Which Wuda is not better than us?"
"yes, what else do we have?"
Vice Principal Qin also smiled bitterly.
It's like pursuing a girl, when a poor guy and a rich second generation fall in love with a girl at the same time, the rich second generation that a poor guy can give to a girl can also give it, and it's better and more advanced than yours, why should other girls choose you?
"I think...... It is still necessary to fight for Baizhu at all costs. β
After being silent for a long time, Zuo Weizheng still said in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
Seeing that Zuo Weizheng still insisted on this point of view, everyone couldn't help frowning, they thought that Zuo Weizheng was insisting on it for the sake of persistence.
Zuo Weizheng naturally knew what everyone was thinking, he looked at everyone seriously and explained: "Because-Baizhu is the only variable that can make Yongzhou Wuda change its fate, we have nothing to lose!"
His meaning is very clear, anyway, Yongzhou Wuda has been ranked at the bottom of Huaguo Wuda for eight consecutive years, even if they lose the bet here in Baizhu, they will only continue to rank at the bottom.
Hearing Zuo Weizheng say this, everyone in the conference room looked a little unsightly, and they had the heart to refute, but they didn't know how to say it - what Zuo Weizheng said was the truth, how could he refute it?
"Okay, since everyone doesn't speak, let's vote!"
Seeing this, Zuo Weizheng nodded slightly, took the lead in raising his hand and said, "If you agree with our Yongzhou Wuda to block everything to fight for Baizhu, please raise your hand." β
"I have reservations. β
Vice Principal Qin shook his head.
"I don't approve of it either. β
"I abstain. β
"I'm against it. β
"I'm against it. β
......
As Zuo Weizheng looked at it, soon, all the people in the conference room expressed their attitudes, but as a result, Zuo Weizheng's face stiffened.
There were thirteen people in the room, and in the end, there were only three of them.
The rest either opposed or abstained.
"It seems that the results are already obvious. β
Vice President Qin smiled slightly when he saw this, and after cleaning up, he prepared to leave the conference room.
At this moment, he heard the communicator on Zuo Weizheng's wrist ring.
