Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 209 Chapter 208, the youngest, the most famous (5K)

"Brother Chu, did you receive the email? The school actually held a start-of-term dinner!"

After seeing the mother and daughter off, before he had even finished smoking a cigarette, Lu Ming sent him a message.

Lin Chu opened his mobile phone mailbox and took a look, and saw the invitation letter.

At the same time, a call came in from Pengcheng.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Chu from LC Golf Club?"

Lin Dong?

This title is quite rare.

Lin Chu responded casually: "It's me."

"Hey, Mr. Lin, hello. I'm the counselor of Peking University Guanghua MBA class. My name is Kong Qi. I'm responsible for contacting all students and arranging courses. I sent you an email about the admission dinner. Please check it."

Kong Qi's tone was very polite and enthusiastic. It didn't feel like a counselor treating a student at all. Instead, Lin Chu felt like a salesperson treating a customer.

"Okay, I see. Anything else?"

Lin Chu responded with a smile.

The email should be sent in bulk, followed by phone calls to notify each person individually.

"Haha, by the way, could you please add me on WeChat? This is my phone number. I'll create a class group."

"no problem."

After finishing the conversation and hanging up the phone, Lin Chu continued to look at his emails.

Location: in the auditorium of the Graduate School.

The time is 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

Recently, there has been a lot of news about the start of school, and a lot of preparations before school has been done.

The MBA program is taught at Peking University’s Graduate School in Pengcheng.

Lin Chu and Lu Ming signed up for a full-time course, which lasts for two years, one year for study and one year for study and practice.

This looks... quite scary, as if I have to go to class every day.

However, university courses are very easy to come by. I was able to do everything when I was an undergraduate, and now that I am Mr. Lin, naturally there will be no problem at all.

If you really don't have time, you can drop out, take a leave of absence, or delay graduation.

The school thoughtfully offers an extension period, but you just have to pay a little more money each year.

Compared to a four-year undergraduate degree at a public university, an MBA is more like a luxurious amusement park experience.

As long as you can afford the tuition fee of nearly half a million, go ahead and go. No one will care what you have learned or what you have missed.

While he was looking at the email, Lu Ming sent another message: "Look at Attachment 2, it's the list of students admitted this time. Boss, you're ranked first, hahahaha. Damn, you're awesome."

Ok?
Lin Chu was slightly stunned and looked over quickly.

The MBA class has a strong social atmosphere, so of course you should respect the clothes first and then the people. The name, gender, age, and "identity" of each student are all indicated in the yearbook.

Sixty people in total.

In this form, Lin Chu suddenly discovered that his name was ranked first.

——Lin Chu, male, 24 years old, from Pengcheng, chairman of LC Golf Club and LC Media.

Uh.

The information about the MBA class is updated quite timely.

When I signed up, I actually didn't have any club under my name. However, it was only two or three months later, and suddenly, everything changed, it was so terrifying.

I guess the person who made this yearbook would also feel confused and shocked.

Lin Chu felt secretly happy for a moment, and then continued to look at the list below.

——Chen Yuanxing, 38 years old, from Pengcheng, secretary to the board of directors of a listed company.

——Li Fangfei, 41 years old, from Shanghai, a well-known actor, singer, and producer.

——Zhang Xiao, 31 years old, Pengcheng, senior director of Qianhai Venture Capital Fund.

……

List the names one by one.

Not in alphabetical order.

It's not sorted by age either.

It must be...

Lin Chu did discover that - Oh my god, I really became the most famous one!
Among the 60 people in the class, their apparent strengths can be clearly compared through their work units and positions on this list.

Whether it is the secretary of a listed company, a famous actress, a white-collar worker, or an entrepreneur who started his own company...

His net worth and status were far behind his own.

At this time, Lin Chu suddenly felt that the ranking of this MBA class at Peking University was quite "money-worshiping".

For a moment, I was quite amused and confused.

It’s the same at Peking University!

"I'm kind of disgusted with this class. Ugh, the quality of the circle is not good."

Lin Chu casually sent a message to Lu Ming and complained proudly.

Lu Ming:......

"Okay, stop being so frivolous. The loneliness of a master is like an avalanche. I've already paid the money and I'm here, so why not go and take a look?"

This was the only way he could offer comfort.

Lin Chu: "Okay, let me put it this way first."

Unconsciously, I have become the signature figure of this session. I am the youngest but the most famous. How can I argue with that?
Fortunately, I am young, which is an "advantage".

Otherwise, Lin Chu would even feel a little embarrassed - as a national standard master, why would he go to the silver bureau to bomb the fish pond?

……

The class group was also set up later.

The group leader is naturally the class counselor Kong Qi. The email contains his detailed introduction. He received his undergraduate degree from Peking University, his graduate degree from Tsinghua University, and then returned to Peking University to study for a doctorate. He has now graduated with a doctorate and got a teaching position as a counselor.

“@Dear students, the group chat has been opened. You can chat freely, but advertising, sensitive links and obscene words are prohibited. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.”

Group members joined one after another.

When all the people were present, Kong Qi sent another message.

"Everyone, let's follow the university's academic system and elect a class monitor and three vice-class monitors to be responsible for organizing some daily activities. We will accept self-recommendations and then everyone will vote. So please prepare a detailed self-introduction, and then I will send the voting link."

"The voting will end within 24 hours, and those who do not vote will be deemed to have abstained. Time is money, efficiency is life, and I hope all students will pay attention to it."

Tsk.

This is really... quite efficient.

Lin Chu felt this atmosphere, shook his head and smiled, then edited: "Lin Chu, 24 years old, I don't want to be the class monitor. I have too many daily things to do. I want to focus my main energy and time on studying, so please be merciful and don't click on me."

Only children pursue fame and make contributions to the collective.

They are just a bunch of old dogs. There is no need to do such a thing which has no benefits.

Time and energy are the most precious things to you.

Of course, the main reason is the status.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t become the squad leader. Just leave the opportunity to others.

Lu Ming sent a private message: "Fuck, you're pretending again! You're so fucking slutty!"

Lin Chu: "Hey, you choose, I'll give you a ticket number."

Lu Ming: "I don't want to be one either. It's exhausting, so I can just relax and do nothing."

He didn't have any particularly strong intention to climb up the ladder. After all, the strongest people in the class were his brothers, so why would he be the class monitor?
Lin Chu: Salted fish.

But I didn't pay any more attention to him and let him be.

That's Lu Ming's personality.

……

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Fangfei. I used to work as an actress and have acted in seven movies and 26 TV series. I think some of you have seen my works, but please don't treat me as a star. I am just an ordinary student now. I come to school to study and improve my knowledge and abilities."

"I am applying to run for class monitor or vice-class monitor. I have a strong sense of responsibility, I am careful in my work, and I have good connections in the business field. I hope to make some contributions to the class and serve everyone well. Thank you. (Lovely smile)"

The famous film queen Li Fangfei said in the group in a very humble manner.

This kind of position is useless to Lin Chu and useless to Lu Ming, but for most people in the class, it is still very valuable.

After all, everyone comes here for the purpose of further study and making friends, and any small group, the administrator, naturally has special privileges, which can be considered as gilding.

Her fame and strength are considered quite high in the group, at least in the top five.

After this message was sent out, many people expressed their support.

They chatted animatedly.

After watching for a while, Lin Chu no longer cared and did not say anything.

diving!

The boss’s exclusive attitude in the group.

……

"Hou, how was the skit?"

However, the identity of Li Fangfei triggered Lin Chuxin's brain neural circuits, and he suddenly thought of Hou Chengjin and the short drama that was being filmed.

I also invested more than 10 million yuan.

Lin Chu had some understanding of the shooting process of the short drama before. Basically, the shooting can be completed in one week, or at most two weeks. Now the time is almost up, and it is time to test the results.

Lin Chu didn't care much about the returns from this investment.

But after all, it is money that has been spent, so we still need to pay attention to it.

Hou Chengjin quickly replied: "Is it convenient? I'll give you a video call."

"Come."

After replying with one word, Hou Chengjin's video came.

He looked very bad, his hair was messy and had no hairspray at all. He sat in front of the computer, looking very depressed.

Uh.

Looking at this situation, Lin Chu probably knew that it seemed not very optimistic.

However, it is also normal.

In the content production track, it has always been a winner-takes-all situation. The pyramid is very high, the top of the pyramid is very small, and most of the people are cannon fodder.

"Boss Lin, I want to apologize first. All five dramas have been filmed, but one of them, the one about rebirth, has been banned. It is not allowed to be released online now. The regulations have just been issued." "This is my fault. It is a problem with the subject matter."

Hou Chengjin's face even looked a little ferocious, and he spoke in a low voice.

Lin Chu sighed, his face calm: "Go on."

"For the remaining four, all of them have been invested. I invested 100 million in each of them. The first-day turnover was 6, 8, 17, and 18 respectively."

"Judging from the first day's data, it's basically a flop."

Boom!
He slammed the table hard, his eyes revealing a bit of frustration and madness.

The data performance speaks for itself.

This is clearly a failed project, which means that all the money invested, effort and energy spent during this period have been wasted.

What's even more embarrassing is the betrayal of trust.

Lin Chu's 1200 million, Zhao Rong's 600 million, and his own 1000 million.

Lin Chu's investment is still quite "disciplined" and has a bit of friendship. Unlike those vampire investment institutions, he does not require the signing of an unlimited guarantee agreement or a guaranteed rate of return.

But, it is precisely because of this that this kind of disappointment makes Hou Chengjin feel more pressured.

If trust is not established the first time, it will most likely be gone the second time.

Looking at him like this, Lin Chu thought for a moment: "So what are you going to do now?"

Lin Chu didn't say any words of comfort or encouragement. There was no need for that.

Things went wrong, there's no point in saying all this.

Naturally, Lin Chu didn't blame him.

The decision to invest is made by yourself.

Everyone takes the blame for their own decisions.

Twelve million is nothing, not a big deal at all.

"There are still more than 6 million left in the account, and I can make at least two more films. I plan to concentrate all my efforts and use all the money on the production of one film, and try to make a hit to see if I can cover the losses of the previous films. Of course, the result cannot be guaranteed now. If it still doesn't work, it will be really shameful. I will die to apologize for my sin."

Hou Chengjin lit a cigarette and said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, I just happened to get an antique knife a few days ago. It's very sharp. I'll lend it to you when the time comes."

Lin Chu made a joke, and suddenly his heart was moved: "What did Zhao Rong say?"

She also invested six million.

Hou Chengjin smiled bitterly: "I haven't said anything yet. Instead, my attitude has become more enthusiastic. I was just encouraging me. I hope I'm not dead yet and still have a breath left. However, if the last one also fails, I guess I won't be friends anymore."

This is also normal.

When she voted on the spot, she was actually somewhat reluctant, but she was forced into a corner by Lin Chu, so she gritted her teeth and voted.

At this moment, seeing her losing money, Lin Chu was quite wickedly happy, even though... he also lost money.

"Okay, then keep working hard."

"But I suggest that you calm down for two days. For some things, haste makes waste. Hey, where's the screenwriter? Where's the Xiang Yun Sha script he wrote?"

Lin Chu said as if nothing had happened.

Along with the short drama, Xiang Yunsha's script is also progressing. However, Lin Chu's requirements for this drama are not so urgent. He asked the screenwriter named Jiang Chao to strive for perfection and polish it several times.

The final draft of the script has not yet been released.

Hearing this, Hou Chengjin's eyes flickered.

In fact, this is a point he wants to complain about.

Jiang Chao's ability is naturally online, but during the filming of the short drama, Lin Chu's new demand did take up a lot of Jiang Chao's energy.

Of course, these thoughts of complaining and grumbling only flashed through his mind for a moment, and this matter could not be blamed on Lin Chu.

That's totally unreasonable.

I dare not.

"He's almost done. He hasn't reported his progress to me. He seems very focused every day. He's almost going crazy. He's very excited about writing. He often drinks and smokes on the rooftop at 4 a.m. to look for inspiration."

Hou Chengjin said with a smile, and a clever idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

The last script theme that he regarded as a "hope for a comeback" has not yet been finalized. He is thinking, if he can film Xiang Yunsha, then...

In fact, the subject matter doesn’t matter.

mainly:
If this subject is to be filmed, Lin Chu will definitely be interested. And during the filming process, if there is not enough money, or if more resources are needed during the investment process, Lin Chu will most likely add to the investment.

Also, if it fails again, I will have an explanation - Boss, it was you who promoted it, and although I have no credit for it, at least I have worked hard.

These two thoughts lingered in Hou Chengjin's mind.

He felt that his idea was a bit low, but things had come to this point.

The cost of losing again is too high.

now.

Through the video, Lin Chu saw his eyes flickering. After a little thought, he vaguely understood something. He licked his lips and said in a deep voice, "No, let's just shoot Xiangyunsha for the last one, right?"

"We've been working on this project since the beginning, and I've asked you, me, Jiang Chao, and Pei Jin to all read the final script and give suggestions from all angles. Jiang Chao will be responsible for the plot, you'll be responsible for the commercial aspects, Pei Jin will be responsible for the cultural aspects, and I'll provide the money and resources."

Lin Chu said carefully.

Still took a step back.

The failure of the previous films is an established fact. There is no point in saying anything. Complaining is the most inappropriate emotion. It is better to think carefully about how to make the next one well.

This can also be considered as reducing the burden on Hou Chengjin.

This person does have some abilities. Although he is a bit arrogant and has his own little thoughts, he is generally still useful.

Lin Chu now fully understands the truth that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As a big brother, he must act like a big brother and be tolerant.

Li Ziming had embezzled more than 20 million yuan before. Although it was not his own money, he was still tolerant and did not care about this criminal record. He is still working well now, but has been decentralised.

When Hou Chengjin heard Lin Chu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and the pressure was immediately relieved a lot.

I even felt a little grateful in my heart.

Lin Chu is naturally not a fool.

On the contrary, very smart.

He knew very well in his heart that Lin Chu's words were actually a way for him to save face.

He sighed deeply, "Brother Chu, I...I really feel a little ashamed to face you. How about you send someone to supervise me? I agree with your approach, but I'm worried that I may not be capable enough. I'm not trying to pass on the blame, I'm asking sincerely."

Lin Chu laughed.

"Bullshit."

"No need to send anyone. You'll still be the one to carry out the execution. The four of us have read the script. Don't worry, if we fail again, you won't be the only one to bear the blame."

Lin Chu smiled and nodded at him.

Let’s finish the task at hand first, and we can discuss how to get along with each other later.

As long as the project is done and money is made, everything is fine.

If they fail to do it, we will see how they perform and pass the buck, and it will naturally depend on their character.

……

after one day.

The results of the online voting for the MBA class group have been finalized.

The voting link sent by Kong Qi was for secret ballot. After the results came out, Lin Chu received another call from him.

"Director Lin, I'd better communicate with you in advance. The results have been counted in the backend. There are 60 people in our class, and four people abstained from voting for class monitor, leaving 56 votes. A total of 49 people chose you as class monitor. This is an absolute advantage. Everyone has high expectations for you. The public has sharp eyes."

There was a hint of laughter, embarrassment, awkwardness, and unspeakable ridicule in his voice.

Lin Chu:?
"What's going on?"

Lin Chu asked another question, feeling a bit amused.

Kong Qi also laughed.

"Perhaps in the next class, we will talk about this theory, game theory. Everyone thinks that choosing a strong class monitor is the best for the overall interests."

"Also, if you are not chosen and someone else is chosen, the only ones who can get close to you openly are the monitor and the deputy monitor."

"But if you are chosen, all students can be chosen."

"As an ordinary student in the group, I am not sure whether I can be elected. Under the premise that you are the second strongest in the class, I am not surprised by this result."

Lin Chu took a deep breath and suddenly understood.

They are all fucking cunning people.

It seems that the position of squad leader is naturally endowed with a certain sense of responsibility. When they choose me as the squad leader, I will naturally try to get close to them and build closer relationships with them whenever they have problems.

"Okay, I'll take it."

"But I'm applying for one thing."

Since this has come to this, it is naturally difficult for Lin Chu to refuse.

"You tell me."

Kong Qi was relieved when he saw Lin Chu agreed. If Lin Chu insisted on refusing, he would not have given this identity to Lin Chu.

"I applied to bring an assistant to sit in on the class and help me deal with things. Otherwise, I really don't have the time and energy."

Lin Chu said with a calm smile.

Tsk.

——One of my dreams when I was in school.

Gu Jiayan doesn’t have anything to do right now, and the coordination and planning skills she showed during her last trip to Bohol Island were very impressive. At the same time... hehehe.

Recently, she has been rarely favored.

This request...

There was no precedent before, and even if there was, it was all in private. No one was as open and aboveboard as Lin Chu.

However, Kong Qi thought about it and agreed with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. I'll help you arrange it as an auditor."

"But the expenses for various social activities and collective organizations afterwards cannot be paid through the school channel, and can only be borne by herself. After all, this is included in the tuition fee, and I personally do not have the authority to do so."

Lin Chu naturally understood this situation.

"no problem."
