Ordinary Road 2010

Didn't expect it to be delivered to your door?

This was indeed a pleasant surprise, and naturally there was no reason to extrapolate it. The school leaders enthusiastically introduced it to them.

There are many ways to make donations.

The simplest one is to donate the money to the school and don't care about it. The school spends it as it likes, and at most monitors whether there is any corruption and waste.

There are not many such simple rich people.

Most of the donors now have some conditions attached.

The most easily fulfilled requirement is the name of the building. In some universities, almost every building has a name, instead of using simple names like "one teaching and two teaching" or "south building and north building".

However, it is best for the named individual or company to match the tone of the university, otherwise it may not achieve the desired effect, or even be counterproductive.

For example, the Jeanswest Building of T University caused an uproar at the time, and was ridiculed for many years later.

In many private universities in the West, the most direct benefit of donation is that you can get admission places, the price is clearly marked, and the industry chain is mature.

In addition, donated funds can be used in a specified way, granted to or applied for, and the management is very flexible.

Of course, the premise is that the donation amount is large enough to cover the cost of independent operation.

In short, charity is a good business. In addition to educational donations, there are many different ways to play it.

Lin Yi's idea is: to set up a fund funded by Wanli Chuxing, all teachers and students of Jingdian can apply for it, or contact them actively to grant it, and use it for their approved research direction.

This review will be very important, so Professor Li Feifei is in charge of its academic committee.

The school naturally recognized that, although it was subject to some restrictions, it could be regarded as an increase in the school's research funding sources after all.

The two sides had a certain amount of discussion, but they didn't finalize it on the spot, and continued communication was needed.

Since the two of them were so enthusiastic, the school leaders were very satisfied with their awareness, and warmly invited them to have dinner together after the talk.

Neither Lin Yi nor the senior sister likes to socialize, so they declined.

On the way back, the senior sister asked: "Why is this matter undertaken by the company and not by us?"

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Although we did have a good income just now, and we are too shy to support a large amount of expenses, but it's really not that I took advantage of the company."

"Although the money is donated, the right to decide the direction of research is still in our own hands, which can attract a group of research forces for our use."

"It's not too bad, so the company can also explain it."

"As for us personally, we can make another donation together in the future to improve the teaching and living environment of the school, and by the way, reward academic excellence and support students from poor families."

"Although the school's tuition fees are very cheap, the conditions can only be said to meet the basic needs of life, and there is no quality of life at all."

"I haven't lived for long in my life, so let's give some benefits to my juniors and younger sisters."

The senior sister didn't speak anymore, she just wondered what is this life?

Chapter 567 Friends from afar

After Lin Yi and senior sister took their leave from the school leaders, they did not leave the school directly.

It was a rare visit, and Lin Yi invited his former roommates to have dinner together, and the senior sister knew them well, so she followed them.

The place is still the same place, the barbecue outside the west gate.

People were not as complete as before. When Lin Yi and the others arrived, only Zheng Xun and Wang Wenfeng were waiting there.

They greeted Li Moyan a little cautiously, but they didn't care about Lin Yi.

"Here comes Boss Lin, order whatever you want."

"Whatever, hurry up to be serious."

Lin Yi and Li Moyan were recognized when they placed the order. This store was the first batch of merchants to go online when they created the casual food delivery website, and they always choose this place for team dinners.

Later, random food delivery network returned to each group, and they started a new business to make taxi-hailing software. This place came less often, but the boss still knew them both.

"For so many years, your business is good, boss."

"Hey, you two are the big bosses now. I've seen it on TV. I invited you to add a cold dish for free."

Lin Yi didn't refuse, and responded with a smile: "Thank you boss!"

The boss waved his hand grandly: "Thank you, it's not a common opportunity to invite a rich person like you to eat. It's enough for me to brag about it for several days!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone laughed, but Wang Wenfeng was still the bustling person, and joked, "The boss is right, so we have to experience it today, Lao Zheng?"

Zheng Xun was also unambiguous: "That's it!"

Well, Lin Yi is eating and drinking for nothing today.

The food was delivered quickly in the store. I don't know if the boss added something to them. They took a bite one after another, and then started talking after they were half full.

"Why are you here today?"

"I graduated, and my senior sister came to watch the ceremony."

They knew about Lin Yi's suspension of school, because Lao Zheng was a well-informed person in the school, but the cause and effect were not something a student could understand.

So when Lin Yi briefly told them that this matter had something to do with a certain alumnus, they were dumbfounded in surprise.

"Old man, he still does this kind of thing!"

Wang Wenfeng was still so forthright, but for the sake of their safety, Lin Yi didn't plan to go deep with them on this topic.

"You two are the only ones left in our house?"

Lin Yi hasn't been back to school for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the current situation of his roommates.

Zheng Xun introduced to him: "Isn't it just the two of us? Anyway, after the graduate school, I will stay in school for three more years, and I can find a better job when I go out."

"If you come back in June, you can catch up with Zilong and Yumin for the last time before they leave. It's a pity that you missed it now."

Lin Yi and his school don't have many places for insurance research, accounting for about 20% of the total number of students.

Lao Zheng followed the path of a student cadre. After Han Xue, he took over as the head of the public relations department. In his junior year, he became the vice chairman of the student union, and he was firmly awarded a postgraduate quota.

Wang Wenfeng studied hard and made progress every day, and his GPA rank was at the top of his grade.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "What about the last side, it's like Yin and Yang are separated."

"Bah bah bah!"

After Zheng Xun stopped his crow's mouth, he also laughed, "Duan Yumin has gone abroad, and we don't know the specific school, either good or bad."

"As for Zilong, you know that he failed a course when he was depressed, so he was not eligible for postgraduate insurance. When he was in his junior year, he wanted to take the exam but failed the written exam, so he went out to look for a job."

The key to the postgraduate entrance examination in this school is that the written test must pass the mark. When it comes to the interview, the examiner usually reads a little bit of incense.

"But the other person is no longer in the capital, otherwise you can call him today."

Lin nodded and said, "What company did you go to?"

Lao Zheng gave a name he had never heard of before, and then added: "Because he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination first, he decided to look for a job after he got his grades. The first batch of good unit recruitment time has missed."

"It wasn't ideal when I looked for it again later. At that time, I persuaded him to ask you, but he refused, saying that he didn't want to cause you trouble."

Lin Yi turned his head and said, "Hey, what you said is out of line."

When Lu Zilong was looking for a job, he should still be taking a taxi with Dudu. Although the situation is not good, it is easy to arrange a graduate.

Also a strong person.

Although when joking with the poor students under the eaves, they always say "Don't forget the rich and the honor", but when there is a thigh there, not everyone can hug it with peace of mind.

Lin Yi had no intention of interfering with their choices, and just said: "I won't say much else, if you have any difficulties, remember to come to me."

He raised his glass to touch those two, and Wang Wenfeng said: "Don't worry, I will definitely remember that you are the one who let go of the right person with Man Zhong Lie!"

Lin Yi laughed out loud.

The few people quickly chatted about their roommate Li Jianguo who left the earliest, this time it was the information provided by the senior sister.

"Isn't Jianguo traveling with his girlfriend, maybe he will come back during the Chinese New Year, and he will get married."

"marry?!!"

These two words seemed to frighten the three men present, and they reacted in horror, as if they had heard something terrible.

"It hasn't been decided yet, and it's still being discussed, but both parents are in favor. I also heard what Han Xue said when I was looking for Jianguo to talk about travel."

Parents are really fickle beings.

Lin Yi remembered that when Li Jianguo was about to drop out of school and go abroad, the first thing he had to overcome was the resistance of his parents, but he didn't expect that they would start to persuade them to get married now.

"Jianguo has just reached the age of marriage, right?"

"Parents feel that they have to go to the United States to study after a year of gap. They don't know what the year of the monkey is when they graduate. They should get married first when they are old, and it is best to have children."

Lin Yi could only bow down.

At that time, there was a popular saying that the elders often used it to fool the young people, saying that the time for graduate school was the best time to get married and have children.

Firstly, the mother is at the most suitable age for childbearing, so the safety is high; secondly, the impact of pregnancy on study is much smaller than that on work;

In this way, after graduation, you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to your career without any worries, and you don't have to worry about the timing of childbearing affecting your career planning.

The life progress bar is directly full.

Lin Yi and his two roommates had a lively discussion on this topic, jokingly calling Jianguo "marrying at a young age" and so on, and unanimously decided that they had to join in the fun when the time came.

On the contrary, the senior sister was not very interested in sitting on the side. She suddenly realized that it seemed that she had rarely seen Lin Yi getting along with her roommate.

Because the attitude of his subordinates will not be so casual, and the people who meet at work will not be so close and natural.

At the last moment, Lin Yi and the others started singing for some unknown reason, whether it was because of a drunken madness, or as a gift to a friend far away.

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, there are green grass and green sky..."

Chapter 568 Crazy Racing

Since Lin Yida invested 1 million US dollars in Mobike, except for letting Liu Jianni send a financial director, he has never worried about the other party's affairs.

But in October, they found themselves again.

The two who came this time were not the last time. The absence of Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng did not mean that they were contemptuous, because it was the chairman of the company who came.

Li Bing, this person has a lot of experience in the circle, although he is not a particularly successful group, but he is not an ordinary person who has no such person, and he still has a lot of aura.

"Mr. Lin, right? I heard that both of them are full of praise for you, so I came here specially this time, mainly to get to know you."

"Mr. Li, you are welcome. Since we invested in Mobike, we are a family."

Lin Yi chatted with Li Bing for a while, and the other party expressed his purpose in a leisurely manner.

"After Mobike got your $1 million, the original plan was to solve the high cost of bicycles as a top priority. In October, it planned to launch a cheap light bike version to catch up with the number of small yellow bikes."

"But not long ago, Xiaohuangche just announced that it has completed its C round of financing, with a total amount of 1.3 million US dollars, exceeding our previous 1 million."

"Actually, it was obtained in two rounds of financing, but only 14 days apart, so there is no problem in counting them as the same round, but the direct purpose is undoubtedly to overwhelm Mobike."

Lin Yi knew about this matter. Although he didn't interfere in the other party's business, since Wanli Travel has already invested, Liu Jianni will regularly track the status of the industry and report to him.

Just looking at this financing is actually not a big deal. The amazing thing is that this is the fifth financing of Xiaohuangche since 2016.

And just before the C round of financing completed in two tranches, the B round of Xiaohuangche was only one month away.

What is the concept of financing five times a year?

Lin Yi, who experienced the taxi fight, felt crazy!

Therefore, Dai Wei's attitude towards Lin Yi is also understandable. He may feel that he wants wind and rain in the capital market, and he is awesome.

And Mobike, invested by Wanli Travel, has completed three financings this year. Obviously, their appetite has not been satisfied.

"What do you mean?"

"Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng's preliminary idea is to do another C+ round of financing, with a target amount of more than 5000 million US dollars, which can beat the little yellow car to keep the industry's first honor."

Lin Yixin thought that this is not asking for his own opinion, it is clearly asking for money.

But Lin Yi really didn't care, he gave all 1 million US dollars, and it didn't make much difference if he gave more or less tens of millions.

At least until the wave of shared bicycles comes to an abrupt end, his investment will still increase in value on the books.

"No problem, if you want Wanli Travel to lead the investment or even take the whole package, we can take it; if you want to find other institutions to lead the investment, then we will follow the investment proportionally."
