Volume 2 1999 Chapter 59 Audio-visual Building
Zi said: Lanxiang was not built in a day. Although the talent training mechanism needs to be solved urgently, it is more important to find a new venue for the online school.
Li Yuan transferred to Ma Jun not only the Internet café, but also the lease contract of the city technical school, which was reported by the relevant departments in the city, and it stands to reason that he should move the online school out the next day, but because of the large number of applicants for the online school, the matter has not been resolved for half a month.
The main reason was that there was no suitable venue, and in the end Guo Hua gave him an idea, saying that he could rent the audio-visual education building of the Petroleum Middle School.
Guo Hua's reminder made Li Yuanmao suddenly open, and he felt like a willow and a bright flower.
Is the audio-visual school building of the fourth middle school suitable?
First of all, since the building was completed the year before, several floors have been vacant, except for the chemistry laboratory on the first floor.
Li Yuan remembered that he had secretly rummaged in with his friends during the high school holidays, and a computer room was reserved in it, but there was no computer.
This is due to the general environment.
However, with the arrival of the wave of layoffs, many oilfield workers returned to their hometowns with their children after being laid off, and the number of students in the schools was greatly reduced; the number of students in the schools was greatly reduced; the number of students in the schools was reduced, and the number of classes decreased, which in turn led to a reduction in the number of teaching staff.
In this vicious circle, the quality of education in the four middle schools declined sharply, but all those with better grades were transferred to other schools, and by the year Li Yuan took the college entrance examination - when he was in high school in Renxian County - only three of the more than 200 fresh candidates in the entire four middle schools were admitted to the undergraduate program, and finally had to completely cancel the high school the following year.
At present, the four middle schools have not fallen to such a miserable state, but the reduction of funding is an indisputable fact, and even if the school has the heart, it can only let the audio-visual education building remain idle.
There is another reason why the audio-visual education building is suitable for running an online school, and that is its location.
Although the online school has attracted widespread attention in Yingzhou under the banner of "designated by the municipal government", most of the real applicants come from the oil field.
This is understandable, after all, the oil people here are more willing to accept new things and ...... Be willing to spend money.
Therefore, when the online school is moved to their doorstep, instead of opposing it, they will raise their hands in favor.
This is not Li Yuan's wishful thinking, judging from the questionnaire survey, most students and parents support the relocation of the online school.
So, now there is only one question left, convince the school.
……
If you want to persuade others, there are no more than three ways, know it with reason, move it with affection, and induce it with profit.
Li Yuan took the principal Li Hongfei as a breakthrough and adopted the method of going hand in hand, and finally succeeded in convincing the other party.
The persuasion process went smoothly beyond Li Yuan's expectations, although there is a bonus of impression points, the key is mutual benefit.
Li Yuan mainly put forward two points.
First, quality education is imperative.
This is contrary to what he said last time (Chapter 32), when he said that exam-oriented education is beneficial and harmless, and that the focus of language education is on application rather than creation.
"If I only talk about school education, I still stick to my previous view, the first task of secondary education is to give students better room to grow, in other words, to go on to higher education. Only by being admitted to a university and a good university can you continue to receive a better and more professional education. However, educational resources are limited, and it is impossible to teach individuals according to their aptitude, so we can only adopt a more universal approach. Whether it's a sea of questions or tactics, or rote memorization, it's all about improving the overall score...... However, in the broad sense of education, it is beneficial in the long run for students to master a skill that is necessary for future work and life......"
Li Hongfei nodded frequently and said: "I agree with most of what you said, only one point, are you sure that computers are a necessary ability?"
"I'm sure. Li Yuan said with certainty: "The essence of a computer is a tool, and this tool still seems to be a bit high-end, but it will eventually become popular...... Just as the telephone replaces letters, and the driving of a car replaces horseback riding, in my opinion, mastering computer application technology is essential......"
"What will computers replace?" Li Hongfei asked an interesting question.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "TV, telephone, calculator, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, newspapers and magazines...... It may not be possible to replace it completely, but all aspects will be affected. ”
"Wouldn't a lot of people be unemployed?"
"Don't be too pessimistic, after all, every new tool invention will not only destroy traditional industries, but also give birth to many new industries. ”
"Hmm. Li Hongfei accepted Li Yuan's point of view.
Li Yuan then mentioned the second point - the development of the school.
"Compared with other schools in Yingzhou City, the biggest advantage of Sibu Middle School is the faculty, most of the teachers are graduated from higher normal colleges, including many key colleges, which also makes the admission rate of Sibu Middle School has been leading. However, as a result of the restructuring of enterprises, many workers have been laid off, and a considerable number of them will return to their hometowns......"
Li Yuan briefly talked about the vicious circle that the school will experience, and then said: "To avoid this vicious circle, we can only start from the outside, relax the scope of 'borrowing', and increase external recruitment...... And all of this requires money. ”
When Li Yuan said this, he smiled slightly: "It looks like I'm taking advantage of the school, but in fact, I'm giving money to the school." ”
……
Li Yuan said that he was sending money, not just talking.
He and Li Hongfei finally reached an agreement, in addition to the normal payment of the rent of the audio-visual education building, Li Yuan will give an additional 20% of the profits of the online school to the school free of charge every year, as for how the school uses this money, Li Yuan will not interfere.
"Of course, this is not a donation in my personal name. Li Yuan said, "I will ask someone to discuss this matter with the school on behalf of the company, and the specific amount depends on the final negotiation result." ”
Li Hongfei smiled. "You're painting bread to satisfy your hunger. ”
Li Yuan also smiled. "It's better than guarding the mountain and starving. ”
……
After reaching an agreement with Li Hongfei, Li Yuan immediately summoned Feng Wan back from Beijing and asked her to negotiate with the school.
On the day of the negotiation, Feng Wan suddenly asked before going out.
"Is there anything you want to remind me of?"
"If you let me talk, I'll be non-existent. ”
"Understood, I won't let you become a monster in the eyes of the teacher. ”
Feng Wan laughed and walked out with brisk steps.
Li Yuan walked to the window and watched Feng Wan drive away, his heart full of emotion.
In the past half month, Li Yuan and Feng Wan have experienced a process of conquering and being conquered.
Feng Wan is a special woman, and her special has nothing to do with ability, but because she has no inner bond with Li Yuan.
She is not like Qiao Ruonan, Qiao Ruonan regards Li Yuan as his biological brother, so she unconditionally supports his decision, and she is not like Ma Nan, Ma Nan attaches great importance to righteousness and is like-minded with Li Yuan, so she has never given up.
Feng Wan is different from all of them.
She is very proud, and the reason why she is willing to work for Li Yuan is only because she agrees with Li Yuan's vision.
However, admiring Li Yuan's vision does not mean that she admires Li Yuan's ability, in specific matters, she almost never asks Li Yuan's opinion, of course, she also has the ability to do so.
From the beginning, Feng Wan did not regard herself as Li Yuan's employee, and in her opinion, the two were partners.
The relationship between the partners is obviously not strong enough, and Li Yuan sometimes thinks that if it weren't for Qiao Ruonan's face, Feng Wan would have left him alone.
Of course, this is not what Li Yuan wants to see.
To this end, Li Yuan made two preparations.
On the one hand, try to build relationships with your team members. Not everyone is as rational as Feng Wan, Li Yuan believes that as long as he perseveres, most people will be moved, so he chooses to stand on Li Yuan's side at a critical moment.
On the other hand, study hard. Recently, Li Yuan has been working hard to learn the knowledge of business management, and has maintained very close communication with Feng Wan.
It is better to ask for others than for yourself, as long as his ability is strong enough, there is no need to worry about Feng Wan suddenly picking a child.
Of course, the above are all about being a gentleman with a careful heart, and at present, Feng Wan's performance is impeccable.
What's even more gratifying is that her words before going out, in the past, she would definitely not ask Li Yuan, in a sense, this also represents her recognition of Li Yuan.
……
It's a pleasure to be recognized.
Li Yuan hummed a song and began to pack up.
Since the beginning of the month, Wu Ciren has called every three or five days, urging Li Yuan to go to Shanghai to sign a contract.
Yes, the publishing house has already been contacted, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House.
"I have done proofreading work with several editors, but after signing the contract, the publisher will have to proofread and typeset again, if you don't hurry up, I am afraid you won't be able to get the sample book before the finals......"
Although Wu Ciren did not complain, Li Yuan could understand his anxiety, and he apologized for it, but the matter of the online school had been undecided before, and he had to delay it again and again.
Now that things have finally come to an end, Li Yuan doesn't plan to drag it out any longer.
What? You say things can go back and forth?
The petroleum middle school is different from the local middle school, Li Hongfei is not only the principal, but also the secretary of the party committee, so Li Yuan persuaded Li Hongfei, and the matter has already been done.
As for the negotiations, it is just to avoid criticism from others, and they deliberately go through a procedure.
……
"Hey, you're going out. ”
Shen Zhuyin appeared behind Li Yuan at some point.
Li Yuan was startled, turned around and said, "You are a cat, you don't make any sound when you walk!"
"Scaring you?"
", my heart almost jumped. Li Yuan held his heart and said, "Don't believe you touch it?"
Shen Zhuyin remembered the incident the night before, blushed, pretended not to hear Li Yuan's words, glanced at the suitcase casually, and asked, "You want to go far away?"
"Well, go to Shanghai. ”
"To sign a contract?"
"Hmm. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Shen Zhuyin said in disgust, and ran out in a hurry.
"What do you mean?" The second monk Li Yuanzhang was puzzled, and said to himself: "What kind of wind is this girl smoking?"
"Whoever has a convulsion, you have a convulsion!"
Shen Zhuyin ran back while talking, dragging a suitcase in his hand, and said triumphantly: "Fortunately, I was prepared!"
Li Yuan was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Go to Shanghai!" Shen Zhuyin said confidently, "I already knew that you were going to Shanghai, so I prepared my salute in advance." ”
"You mean, you're going too?"
"yes, can't you?"
"Don't make a fuss, you're not going to school?"
"Excuse me, anyway, my grades are good, and it's the same whether I take the final exam or not. ”
"Does your grandfather know?"
"You don't care if he knows it, I'm not a child anymore. ”
"I'm afraid I'll be killed. ”
"Don't worry, I told Sister Ruonan, and she promised to help me cover up. ”
"Did you really tell her?"
"Really. ”
Shen Zhuyin said as he took out his mobile phone to dial Qiao Ruonan's number, and then handed the mobile phone to Li Yuan.
"You don't believe yourself asking her!"
