Chapter 585: I Sponsored Myself
"Have you ever heard of this method of pulling sponsorship?"
Feng Xiaochen began to be kind to his cousin.
Feng Lintao nodded. After returning to China for more than half a year, he gradually integrated into the domestic atmosphere. Sponsorship is a popular concept in China, in fact, it is to find a rich unit to raise donations and make a relationship. For example, if the students of some schools want to carry out activities and lack funds, the cadres of the student union will go to some enterprises and ask them to provide some sponsorship, maybe 500 yuan, maybe 1,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for the enterprise, and for the poor students, it is a charcoal in the snow.
In order to express their gratitude to the sponsoring company, students often put up a slogan at their event site, saying that the event is sponsored by a certain company, which can be regarded as advertising for the company, and it is also beneficial to the company.
There are also some powerful government agencies and units that sometimes ask for money from their subordinate enterprises in the name of soliciting sponsorship. Subordinate enterprises are often willing to pay some money either out of the mentality of paying protection fees, or hoping to exchange for some policy benefits. This kind of power-for-money transaction is an open secret nowadays, but as long as it is named a sponsor, everyone will pretend not to see it.
Of course, there are cases where certain activities are voluntarily sponsored out of various public welfare psychology. For example, it is not surprising that some township entrepreneurs saw that the primary school in the town was too dilapidated, and with a wave of their hand, they took out hundreds of thousands of yuan to help repair the school building, and there are still many good people in this world.
Seeing that Feng Lintao understood the concept of sponsorship, Feng Xiaochen continued: "You asked me to help you find business, in fact, it is equivalent to soliciting sponsorship, but it is just a banner of scientific and technological services." I am also a cadre now, and I have some influence in the industry, I open my mouth to find someone, and they will definitely give me this face. But you have to calculate, how much is my face worth, and I sell a face just to help you get a business of a few thousand yuan, do you think it's worth it?"
"......" Feng Lintao was a little dumb, he usually mingled with the friends in the research room, and was too affected by them, and always felt that a business of several thousand yuan was a big thing. But now after listening to Feng Xiaochen's analysis, he realized that even if he didn't consider Feng Xiaochen's net worth and position, just as far as his Feng Lintao's own property was concerned, it was indeed not worth it to ask for someone for a few thousand yuan.
He remembered that the design office once contacted a small boss who opened a company, and the director of the office took him to visit the little boss, a dignified professor-level senior engineer and department-level cadre, who was respectful in front of the small boss, for fear of upsetting the other party. Looking back now, the company opened by the small boss is more than a dozen people, and the turnover of 500,000 yuan a year is remarkable. But he Feng Lintao has 2 million dividends a year, not counting the money that his warlord father and local tyrant mother in Africa earned for him, he can take out the money to smash the little boss under the floor, why do you still nod and flatter the other party?
Poverty limits the imagination of colleagues in the design office, and no one knows that there is an invisible tycoon around them. But Feng Lintao himself knows that in terms of his equity in Chenyu Company, he is richer than all the small bosses that the design studio has contacted so far. Everyone is looking for money all over the world, but they can't imagine that there is one in front of them, this is the so-called dark under the lamp, right?
Isn't the annual income target proposed by the room leader 100,000 yuan?
Feng Lintao suddenly came to his senses, thinking that he had spent so much energy pondering such a worthless thing, he couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face. I think what kind of elite talent is I every day, I can't understand such a thing, and I read all the books to the dog?
They were talking lively, Du Xiaodi was listening to it, but he felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but interject: "Xiaochen, you mean to let Lin Tao use private money to sponsor public affairs, isn't it appropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Feng Xiaochen glared, and then said to Feng Lintao: "Lin Tao, I'll tell you a story." Many years ago, there was a female worker who worked for a day and a night to help the country, but she missed the next day's exam. In that exam, the female worker had to select personnel to go to Japan for training, and because the first day was too hard, she performed abnormally in the exam, and she missed one of them, and lost this opportunity she dreamed of......"
"And then?" Feng Lintao was ignorant, not knowing why Feng Xiaochen was telling this story, but he still instinctively asked. He didn't notice that his sister-in-law Du Xiaodi, who was sitting on the side, was already red.
"I was the main person in charge of the rescue at that time, and when I saw this situation, of course I couldn't ignore it. So, I went to the head of the mechanical department and lied that a company was willing to provide a sponsorship to the female worker to help her go to Japan for training, but in fact, the money was paid by myself. ”
"Ahh
"Yes, my thought at the time was that I couldn't let good people sweat and cry. Since the system can't solve the problem, it's up to me to solve it myself. ”
"And then?"
Later, the female worker got her wish and went to Japan for training. Later, she felt very moved, so she married me and became your sister-in-law. Feng Xiaochen smiled and uncovered the mystery.
"Sister-in-law, is this the case?" Feng Lintao turned his head to look at Du Xiaodi and asked her for confirmation.
Du Xiaodi slapped Feng Xiaochen with a smile, and then said to Feng Lintao: "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, I'm not because of this...... However, what your brother said about his private sponsorship of me to go to Japan for training is true. I also found out later, and at that time I thought that your brother was indeed quite rare, which can be regarded as selflessness. ”
"So......" Feng Xiaochen became proud, "Lin Tao, let me tell you, any problem that can be solved with money will not become a problem." Do you know why you're still a single dog?"
"Single dog ......" Feng Lintao grinned, this word has not been popular in this era, but the meaning Feng Lintao can understand, and the full malice in it is even more overwhelming.
"It's because you're not good at being flexible. Feng Xiaochen didn't care about Feng Lintao's feelings, he was a brother, and he had such hegemony.
"I understand, thank you Brother Xiaochen for your advice. Feng Lintao said sincerely that what Feng Xiaochen taught him at this moment was not only the trick to solve the problem of generating income in the design studio, but also a kind of wisdom in life.
If a person wants to live an easy life, the most important thing is to understand what he is pursuing. Feng Lintao is definitely not short of money now, the dividends he received from his cousin and the money his parents saved for him are enough for him to live like a local tyrant in today's China. He went to work in a nuclear power company, engaged in scientific research day and night, and worked hard, definitely not to make money, but to satisfy his hobby of scientific research, if he wanted to find a more noble goal, that is, for the rejuvenation of the country, in order to leave a name for himself in the history of science and technology in the country.
Because of this, he doesn't have to rush and waste energy for money. That's why he came to Feng Xiaochen for help, just to help the design studio make some money, to stabilize the design room's personnel team, but also to help himself leave a group of talented collaborators. In this case, why don't he take out his own money to do this, this money is not a problem for him at all, it is equivalent to him spending money to hire a group of engineers to accompany him to do scientific research, what is wrong with this?
In the past, there were some wealthy Peking Opera "ticket holders" who did the same thing. They love to sing, but they are suffering from no one to support them, so they spend money to hire a group of famous actors to sing with them to satisfy their desire for expression, who would say that it is pointless to do so?
Feng Lintao is actually such a ticket holder, and Feng Xiaochen is also such a ticket holder, making money is no longer the purpose of their work, what they pursue is a higher level of satisfaction. Spending your own money to support the career you are pursuing, this is the real purpose of making money, otherwise, is it interesting to be satisfied with just how many zeros your property has?
"But, brother, there's one more problem. Feng was determined to use his own money to sponsor the work of the design office, but he still had a problem to solve.
"I can come up with the money, but if I hand over the money directly to the design office, the leader will definitely not accept it, and my colleagues will definitely not take the money, isn't this equivalent to me giving money to everyone? Brother, can you help me find a company, I will give them the money, and then they will come forward to sponsor our design office, and never reveal my name in the middle, do you think it's okay?" Feng Lintao said.
Feng Xiaochen said: "It's very simple, let me think about it...... , well, you go directly to Bao Chengming, he is engaged in business information services, and translating some foreign materials is also the most normal business. Let him come forward to help you in the design office and pay a hefty translation fee, I don't think anyone will doubt it. ”
"Great, thank you, brother!" Feng Lintao was overjoyed, and suddenly showed his true colors as a child.
"Now that we're done talking, let's eat quickly. Feng Xiaochen's mother, He Xuezhen, came over and greeted affectionately, "Lin Tao, go wash your hands." Knowing that you are here today, I went to buy a chicken in the morning, and the braised chicken I made for you, you can eat a little more. Look at it, this face has lost weight again, and if your parents come back and see it, they may not be so distressed. ”
"It's okay, Auntie, I'm fine. Our unit is also considered semi-militarized, and many colleagues get up to run in the morning, and I run with them, and now I can run 4,000 meters in one go. Feng Lintao said.
He Xuezhen said: "The body is one thing, your personal problems have to be solved, right? As soon as the New Year comes, you will be 30, you see that Klina has children, Ling Yu will be able to be a father next year, you don't even have a girlfriend now, can you not worry about it?"
"Uh...... I'd better wash my hands. ”
Feng Lintao was defeated and retreated. The best topic to beat a single dog is to ask him if he has a girlfriend, Rao is Feng Lintao is strong-willed, and when he encounters this topic, he only has the rhythm of running away.
