Chapter 660: The Golden Signboard
Knowing that Chen Qiaoshan recommended Liu Wei, Tian Yuan was a little surprised.
The forum has only been three or four years now, and the participants are basically familiar friends in the circle, inviting skiing and fireside night chats.
Everyone is a business, there is no shortage of common topics, and those who can enter the circle are basically the most successful private business owners in China, but things gather people in groups, different from ordinary entrepreneurs, these people are cultured and cultivated, and they have a sense of crisis.
When it comes to the stage of being worth hundreds of millions, the consideration is generally very long-term, and it is not difficult to make money at the moment, but how to be a rich person all the time, this is what they are worried about.
Tian Yuan himself is the backbone of the circle, as one of the representatives of the 92 faction, he knows very well that only with this group of private entrepreneurs around him can not play, although he keeps saying that he does not want to see economists, but the business to their extent, has been tied to the national fortune, if you want to build a long-lasting business, you need to find a real economic think tank to seek medical advice, which is why there is a plan to set up a research center and invite a chief economist.
Qingbei has gathered the largest number of economic experts, and if Liu Wei can be invited, the gold content of the Yabuli Forum will undoubtedly be raised to a higher level.
But after thinking about it, the doubts in Tian Yuan's heart followed.
Liu Wei is a leading figure in the Shaozhuang faction and the president of the academy, and his future is immeasurable, so it must be appropriate to ask him to be the chief economist, but from the beginning, Liu Wei was not on Tian Yuan's list.
Guanghua was independent from the scholastic, but the two now have a distinctly different emphasis.
Guanghua is the leading business school in China, focusing on economics and management, while the scholastic school focuses on the study of economic disciplines, lacking a little commercial atmosphere and more of an academic atmosphere of economic prosperity.
In Peking University, Guanghua has always been a pilot of reform, but the scholastic academy has always followed the rules, Liu Wei is an economist, but he is also an official in the system, and it is not easy to invite him to come out.
Although Chen Qiaoshan claimed to be a disciple of Professor Yan, it was unknown what the real situation was, but the opportunity could not be missed, whether the other party was a broker or a liar, Tian Yuan did not mind having a deep chat.
"Brother Chen, are you here today on behalf of Dean Liu?" Tian Yuan's question was very straightforward.
The 92 faction and these gangs all ran away from the system, and Deng Gong went to the sea one after another after his southern tour, and they can get to the point where they are today, and none of them are not human spirits.
Chen Qiaoshan could probably guess Tian Yuan's thoughts, and playing with them around the bend was completely humiliating, and there was no need for that, he said directly: "Dean Liu doesn't know yet. ”
Tian Yuan was stunned, if Chen Qiaoshan was a broker, he must have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Liu Wei, and now it seems that it should not exist, if he is a liar, Tian Yuan knows that it is not enough, others do not know Chen Qiaoshan's ability, but he knows a thing or two.
At the end of last year, crude oil prices fluctuated, and the market had the largest single-month amplitude in history, and the crude oil futures market was wailing, but Chen Qiaoshan accurately predicted the trend in advance.
When the two first met, Chen Qiaoshan said that he wanted to be Lu Jian's second, Tian Yuan thought in his heart, no accident, Lu Jian should have become a thing of the past, and Chen Qiaoshan may be the most successful futures speculator.
Tian Yuan thought in his heart, but he didn't mean to ask, the two of them could talk about the market, but they hadn't reached the stage where they were familiar enough to talk about positions, "Brother Chen, since Dean Liu doesn't know, then who are you here this time?"
"Dean Liu is also a student of Professor Yan, and he is my senior brother. Chen Qiaoshan smoothed out the relationship in a few words, in order to make Tian Yuan feel at ease temporarily, but the role is also limited, now it is not as good as before, the inheritance of the master is almost extinct, how much role it can play, the key is to see the person.
Tian Yuan believed it, because he himself was the core of Dong entrepreneurs, because of the relationship between business, he needed to deal with all kinds of people and so on, it can be said that he has friends all over the world, but only those who can really make friends with each other.
"The Scholastic Academy is preparing for a new research institute recently, and it has encountered some difficulties in terms of funding, and Senior Brother Liu just took over the position of dean last year, and he also has the intention to make some achievements. ”
Chen Qiaoshan did not mention Professor Yan, it involved the exchange of interests, and before the matter was negotiated, there was no need to let the old man know, "If I am not mistaken, Tian always wants to make Yabuli a domestic version of Winter Davos, right?"
Tian Yuan smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
He must have an idea, but if he really wants to say it in front of outsiders, it is a little unbelievable, Davos is the Global Economic Forum, Yabuli is just starting, whether it is involved in level or influence, both are still in the same cloud.
As far as Chen Qiaoshan knows, many people in China spend millions of dollars to attend EF every year, which is more luxurious today than spending millions of dollars to have lunch with Warren Buffett ten years later.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "The economic forum is very forward-looking, but if it is just a group of entrepreneurs, I am afraid it is difficult to form a long-term mechanism, just like Davos, economists are not the protagonists, but they will never be absent, my senior brother Liu is proficient in industrial economics and macroeconomics, is the leader of the young generation in the academic world, if Mr. Tian is interested, I am willing to be a Chinese person, to promote the cooperation between the two." ”
If you can cooperate with Liu Wei, it is not only as simple as inviting a chief economist, but also it is possible to pull the banner as a tiger skin, which is of course a good thing for Tian Yuan.
As a businessman, it is instinct to weigh the pros and cons, Tian Yuan did not rashly agree, he still understands the principle of equivalent exchange, if he wants to invite Liu Wei, he will inevitably have to pay the price, Tian Yuan stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked: "Tell me, how much money is lacking in the project of the scholastic?"
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much money the academy lacks, the key is to see how sincere Mr. Tian is?"
Tian Yuan's face was a little dark, since Chen Qiaoshan said so, that is, he was already ready for the lion to open his mouth, but in the end, he didn't have many surprises, if he wanted to invite the Buddha, the sesame oil money would definitely not be saved, he asked directly: "Brother Chen, you and I are not outsiders, let's talk straight, how much do you need?"
Seeing Tian Yuan's attitude, Chen Qiaoshan did not continue to go around in circles, and said: "If you just ask Dean Liu to be the chief economist, 10 million is enough, of course, this money is for the college, if Tian can pay 5 million US dollars, I may be able to match the forum and the academy for in-depth cooperation." ”
Rao is Tian Yuan was ready to be blackmailed, hearing this offer, he still gasped, empty white teeth and a mouth is an eight-figure starting price, even if it is a net worth of hundreds of millions, Tian Yuan was also taken aback, this money is not a small amount, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Chen, the forum is a start-up fund sponsored by a few friends, how can it be possible to come up with such a large sum of money." ”
This is obviously a pretext, but Chen Qiaoshan did not mean to debunk it.
In addition to being the annual financial leaders summit, Davos is also a money-making business, and the same is true of the Yabuli Forum, Tian Yuan's mind is not difficult to guess, the reason why he did this forum annual meeting, in addition to taking the opportunity to play the Yabuli signboard, the commercialization of the forum must also be in its planning.
Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while and said: "Mr. Tian, since the forum has been operating at a loss, I have a proposal that may help the forum solve the financial problem." ”
Tian Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the proposal?"
"I can sponsor the $5 million. Chen Qiaoshan's tone was quite indifferent, but Tian Yuan's face changed again, after all, it was from the experience of the shopping mall, he quickly regained his clarity, and the effort was all for the sake of profit, of course Chen Qiaoshan was no exception.
"What about the requirements?" Tian Yuan looked at the young man sitting opposite, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, when he was so old, let alone five million, five hundred yuan was a huge amount of money.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "It's very simple, I want all the rights and interests of the forum for the next five years, including advertising and sponsorship. Chen Qiaoshan said.
Tian Yuan was suspicious in his heart, the annual meeting was held until this year, and it was only carried out in a small area, not to mention the break-even, just a train box from Yanjing to Yabuli every year, plus the cost of guest accommodation and round-trip air tickets, it would cost millions.
As for copying the Davos sponsors, Tian Yuan must have this idea, but it has not been put into practice for the time being, he originally planned to start the trial next year, but he didn't think it would be remembered by Chen Qiaoshan.
The five-year offer of five million US dollars is still quite considerable, but Tian Yuan was fooled and even vetoed.
Although he can't see the future business potential of the Yabuli Forum, but it is not profitable to be early, since Chen Qiaoshan dares to offer such a high price, it must be relied on, out of the instinctive reaction of the businessman, Tian Yuan soon made a decision, he said: "We might as well talk about this later, or talk about the amount of sponsorship first." ”
Chen Qiaoshan could hear that Tian Yuan almost refused.
The asking price of $5 million is indeed not low, but it is certainly worth it, and if you can win this contract, you can at least double the profit in five years, which is not counting the additional income.
Thinking that there are dates and no dates, Chen Qiaoshan opened a high price, and people don't get set, and they can't talk about how disappointed they are.
Chen Qiaoshan probably knew in his heart that he was a little too strong just now, although Tian Yuan was born as an intellectual, he definitely did not lack business acumen, otherwise his enterprises would never be able to do what they are today.
Since there is no way to pick up the leaks, Chen Qiaoshan no longer entangled, "Mr. Tian, it is okay for me to succeed or not to sponsor the Academy, but there is one point, Peking University is a golden signboard, and it is related to Dean Liu, and there is no room for concessions in my offer." ”
In the final analysis, Peking University has done a lot of cheap selling signs, such as the name of Guanghua, which is quite cheap, but it was in the nineties, and the naming rights of Pengcheng Business School were later sold for 150 million, which led to HSBC Business School, which attracted a lot of criticism.
Chen Qiaoshan has thought about this problem, of course Professor Yan doesn't need 10 million, but the signboard of the academy and Liu Wei must be worth this price, and he naturally will not sell it cheaply.
Hearing the saying of the "golden signboard", Tian Yuan was still moved.
In later generations, the andrology advertisements on the streets and alleys can be grandly hung with the name of Peking University, but now it can be regarded as a golden signboard, if Liu Wei can be pulled, and then cooperate with the academy, this is quite obvious to the blessing of the forum.
"Money is not an issue, but what do you say about the specific cooperation plan?" Tian Yuan is also quite decisive, once he makes a trade-off, he will no longer have half a point of dragging.
Chen Qiaoshan knew that the matter had already become more than half, and he said with a smile: "I am only responsible for passing on the message in the center, and the specific cooperation plan is still left for you to interview with Dean Liu." ”
Tian Yuan is simple, Chen Qiaoshan is also very direct, and the two finalized the follow-up negotiation schedule immediately, and it was just a cup of tea.
Although he has not communicated with Liu Wei yet, Chen Qiaoshan is very confident that he will implement this matter.
In the competition with Guanghua, the academy is at a disadvantage, if it does not change, it will even be overtaken by the future National Development Academy, for the sake of Professor Yan's hard work, if he can pull a hand, Chen Qiaoshan will naturally not be ambiguous.
