Cai Yuanpei wanted the literary and art websites and Zhuang Yan to come out to stand for their Yenching University, but he could only say that he thought too beautifully. How can there be such a good thing in the world, Yenching University does not work or contribute, and wants to hold a literary award exclusive to them?

Of course, in fact, Cai Yuanpei is not without benefits, if the award is really named after Zhuang Yan, then it is equivalent to Yenching University and the literary and art websites standing up and shouting for Zhuang Yan at the same time, pushing him to the highest point of the Chinese literary world.

It's a pity that Zhuang Yan is really afraid of the cold in the high places, so he was not happy about Cai Yuanpei's proposal, only frightened.

Liu E said a word, but Cai Yuanpei said with a smile, "Mr. Tiesheng, you are too modest, this student of yours is very good, and he naturally deserves it." ”

Duan Qirui has been holding his chin and thinking about this proposal since Cai Yuanpei said this proposal just now, this will Liu E and Cai Yuanpei argue, he pulled Liu E's arm on the side, and whispered to him, "Don't you think that your student has a too ordinary temper and lacks a little personality? Now is an opportunity, is he such a big child, are you still afraid that he is famous? I was about to give him some pressure, not only to let him grow, but also to change his gentle temper, and to grind a few minions for him." ”

Liu E's eyes narrowed, Duan Qirui's words went to his heart, he was satisfied with the student he accepted, but this temper was too gentle, lacking a little young man's spirit, although he was not as smooth as Ma Yinchu, but he was also a little sophisticated.

If this thing can really make him show some edge, it is also a good thing.

If Zhuang Yan knew what his teacher was thinking now, he would definitely have the heart to die, and other teachers would like their students to have no personality, Liu E was good, so he thought that Zhuang Yan's temper could be a little weird.

Duan Qirui whispered to Liu E, and the others watched silently. Cai Yuanpei was also staring at him with a smile, and after a while, Cai Yuanpei smiled and said, "Mr. Tie Sheng has changed his mind?"

Liu E nodded, "Actually, it's not impossible to set up an award in Ziyan's name." ”

Zhuang Yan looked at his teacher in disbelief, feeling that he had been sold, he glanced at Duan Qirui, who was smiling next to him, and knew in his heart that the reason why the teacher changed his mind must be this old guy making trouble behind.

"Teacher ......"

Zhuang Yan still wanted to appeal, but Liu He said, "This matter is so decided, this is the one requirement for the teacher." ”

Liu Yi said this, Zhuang Yan didn't speak, although this teacher just recognized, but he can't just come and be disobedient. And he also thought about it, and this matter is not only bad.

However, he didn't want this matter to benefit Yenching University too much, so he added, "With my name, I agree, but I have a little request." In the future, we must not only be limited to Yenching University, but also need other universities to participate, and as for other schools to join in at that time, it is up to me to decide whether the awards will be separated or combined. ”

There is a difference between the separate and combined awards, and if the awards are separate for each school, then no matter how many schools join, there is no problem, anyway, each school has its own students compared to itself. But if the awards are combined, then this award has little to do with Yenching University, and students from all schools compete together.

Cai Yuanpei touched his beard and thought about it, and then smiled calmly, "Yes, anyway, it's just an experiment at this stage." ”

He figured out that even if other schools joined in the future, their Yenching University would occupy an important place in the history of this award. If the Zhuang Yan Award becomes a well-known award in the future, then going back to the source, it will naturally mention Yenching University.

"Well, in that case, I have no problem with this. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”

At this time, Wang Lijian next to him coughed lightly, "Mr. Cai, Ziyan, don't be in a hurry to decide, there are still some problems on our literary and artistic websites, as I said before, the annual income and expenditure of our literary and artistic websites ......"

"You don't have to think about the money, I'll give it, I will take out five million from the manuscript fee to get a fund, and take out one million from the fund every year to pay for the bonuses of various awards. ”

Since he agreed to use his name to get an essay award, he must do a good job if he wants to do it, and the prize money will naturally be paid by him.

The prize money adds up to 1 million, which is not a lot, but it is already a lot. Zhuang Yan won the biggest prize of General Pu Songling before, and the bonus was only 100,000 yuan.

Hearing that Zhuang Yan took out five million as a bonus fund, everyone was a little dumbfounded, although they all knew that Zhuang Yan had a lot of manuscript fees, but no one here had carefully calculated it, but he didn't expect him to throw out five million without even blinking his eyes.

Of course, Zhuang Yan doesn't need to blink, although five million is not a drop in the bucket for him, it can only be regarded as a piece of cake. He paid a fraction of the money for a book of five million, and "The Catcher in the Rye" had sold nearly 20 million copies so far.

Wang Lijian and Yu Hai have a lot of business dealings with Zhuang Yan, and they all know the sales of Zhuang Yan's books, so they probably know how much money Zhuang Yan makes. Wang Lijian was even thinking about whether it was too little to let Zhuang Yan only give five million, and whether he should take some more out of his pocket in private.

Yao Qian is Zhuang Yan's agent, and his ability to attract money is probably clearer than Zhuang Yan himself. Tens of millions of dollars were spent on the wheat field website before, but the website momentum is very good, it didn't take long for the funds to be slowly withdrawn, maybe it won't be long before he will become a rooster who helps Zhuang Yan lay eggs.

Wang Lijian had been thinking about the website's funding before, and now that Zhuang Yan took the initiative to solve it, he naturally had no objections, and nodded and agreed to this matter.

There are many other things that it is impossible to say too much in front of people, and I put this topic aside and prepare to wait until it is over.

In fact, such a literary award set up in the name of an individual is not decided by one's own words, and like a national-level award, it also needs to be filed with a department such as the Propaganda Department. The state does not encourage the establishment of awards in the name of individuals, and under normal circumstances, even if you apply, you will not be approved.

However, whether it is Cai Yuanpei or Liu E, or even anyone here, they have never thought about the situation that it cannot be established. Who are these people here, and is this kind of thing a problem for them?

Even if they did not mediate in the middle, it would not be too much to set up a literary award just by the name of Zhuang Yan.
