Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth I sponsor myself
"Have you heard of this method of attracting sponsorship?"
Feng Xiaochen began to lure his cousin forward.
Feng Lintao nodded. After returning to China for more than half a year, he gradually integrated into the domestic atmosphere. Sponsorship is a popular concept in China nowadays. In fact, it is to find wealthy units to raise funds and beg for alms. For example, some schools have to organize activities and lack funds. The cadres of the student union will look for some companies and ask them to provide some sponsorships, maybe 500 yuan, or 1,000 yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for enterprises, but for poor students, it is a timely help.
In order to express gratitude to the sponsored company, students often put slogans on their event site, saying that the event was sponsored by a certain company, which can be regarded as advertising for the company and is also beneficial to the company.
There are also some powerful organs and units who sometimes ask for money from their subordinate companies in the name of sponsorship. Subsidiaries either pay protection fees or hope to exchange for some policy benefits, and are often willing to pay some money. This kind of power-for-money transaction is now an open secret, but as long as they are given the name of sponsorship, everyone pretends not to see it.
Of course, there are also cases where certain activities are voluntarily sponsored for various public welfare psychology. For example, some township entrepreneurs saw that the primary school in the town was too dilapidated, and waved their hands and took out hundreds of thousands to help repair the school building. It is not surprising that there are still many good people in this world.
Seeing that Feng Lintao understood the concept of sponsorship, Feng Xiaochen continued: "You asked me to help you find a business, but it is actually equivalent to attracting sponsorship, just a sign of technology services. I am a cadre now, and it has some influence in the industry. If I go to find someone, they will definitely give me this face. But you have to calculate how much is my face worth and I sell a face to help you get a business worth several thousand yuan. Do you think it is worth it?"
"..." Feng Lintao was a little hoarse. He usually hangs out with his friends in the research room, and is too influenced by them. He always thinks that a business worth a few thousand yuan is a big deal. But now after Feng Xiaochen's analysis, he realized that even if he did not consider Feng Xiaochen's wealth and position, just as Feng Lintao's own property, it would be worth it to ask for help for a few thousand yuan.
He remembered that once the design room contacted a small boss who started a company. The director of the room took him to visit the small boss, a high-level professor-level worker, and a department-level cadre. He was respectful in front of the small boss, for fear of making the other party unhappy. Looking back now, the small boss had only a dozen people, and it was amazing to have a turnover of 500,000 yuan a year. But Feng Lintao paid 2 million yuan a year, which was not the money his warlord father and rich mother earned for him. He could take out the money to smash the small boss under the floor. Why did he nod and flatter him?
Poverty limits the imagination of colleagues in the design room. No one knows that there is an invisible tycoon around him. But Feng Lintao himself knows that in terms of the equity he owns in Chenyu Company, he is richer than all the small bosses he has contacted in the design room so far. Everyone is looking for financial support all over the world, but they don’t expect there is one in front of him. This is what is called dark under the light, right?
Isn’t the annual income-generating target proposed by the office leader is 100,000 yuan? Isn’t it enough to pay for it with my own pocket?
Feng Lintao suddenly realized his enlightenment. He thought that he had spent so much energy to think about such a worthless thing, so he wanted to slap himself in the face. Fortunately, he felt that he was an elite talent every day, and he couldn't understand such a thing thoroughly, and he read all the books to dogs?
They were talking lively here, but Du Xiaodi listened, but felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Xiaochen, are you talking about asking Lin Tao to use his private money to sponsor public affairs, which is not appropriate?"
"Why is it not suitable?" Feng Xiaochen glared at his eyes and said to Feng Lintao: "Lin Tao, I'll tell you a story. Many years ago, a female worker worked day and night to help the country rescue, but ended up delaying the next day's exam. The female worker had to select personnel who went to Japan for training in that exam. Because the first day was too hard, she performed abnormally in the exam, and one of them was not online, losing the opportunity she had always dreamed of..."
"What then?" Feng Lintao was confused, not knowing why Feng Xiaochen told this story, but he still instinctively asked. However, he did not notice that his sister-in-law Du Xiaodi, who was sitting next to him, had already blushed.
"I was the main person in charge of the rescue operation at that time. When I saw this, I certainly couldn't ignore it. So I went to the leader of the Ministry of Machinery and lied that a company was willing to provide a sponsorship for the female worker and help her go to Japan for training. In fact, the money was paid by myself."
"Ah! There is something like this?"
"Yes, my thought at that time was that I couldn't let good people sweat and cry. Since the problem cannot be solved in the system, I will solve it myself."
"What happened later?"
"Later, this female worker went to Japan for training as she wished. Later, she felt very moved and married me and became your sister-in-law." Feng Xiaochen laughed and revealed the answer.
"Sister-in-law, is this the case?" Feng Lintao turned to look at Du Xiaodi after realizing it, and asked her to prove it.
Du Xiaodi smiled and patted Feng Xiaochen, then said to Feng Lintao: "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, I'm not because of this... However, what your brother said about him personally sponsoring me to go to Japan for training is true. I only found out later. At that time, I thought your brother was indeed quite rare, and it was selfless."
"So..." Feng Xiaochen became proud, "Lin Tao, I tell you that any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Do you know why you are still a single dog now?"
"Single dog..." Feng Lintao grinned. This word was not popular in this era, but Feng Lintao could understand the meaning, and the malice in it even felt like it was coming.
"It's because you're not good at adapting." Feng Xiaochen ignored Feng Lintao's feelings. He was a brother, so he had such hegemony.
"I understand, thank you Brother Xiaochen for your advice." Feng Lintao said sincerely. What Feng Xiaochen taught him at this moment was not only the trick to solve the problem of income-generating problems in the design room, but also a kind of wisdom in life.
If a person wants to live a relaxed life, the most important thing is to understand what his goal is. Feng Lintao is definitely not short of money now. The dividends he received from his cousin and the money his parents saved for him are enough to make him live like a rich man in today's China. He works in a nuclear power company, doing scientific research day and night, and working hard is definitely not to make money, but to satisfy his passion for scientific research. If he wants to find a higher goal, it is to revitalize the country and to leave a name in the country's science and technology history.
Because of this, he had no need to work hard for money. So he came to Feng Xiaochen for help, just to make some money to help the design room to stabilize the personnel team of the design room, and in fact, it was to help him leave a group of talented collaborators. Since that's the case, why didn't he take out his own money to do this? This little money is not a problem for him at all. It's equivalent to him spending money to hire a group of engineers to accompany him in scientific research. What's wrong with this?
In the past, some rich Peking Opera "fans" did the same thing. They loved operas, but they were reluctant to be supportive, so they spent money to hire a group of famous actors to sing with them to satisfy their desire to perform. Who would say that doing this is meaningless?
Feng Lintao is actually such a fan, and Feng Xiaochen is also such a fan. Making money is no longer the purpose of their job. They pursue a higher level of satisfaction. Spending your own money to support the career they pursue is the real purpose of making money. Otherwise, just being satisfied with how many 0 of your own property is interesting?
"But, brother, there is another problem." Feng Lintao was determined to use his own money to sponsor the work in the design studio, but he still had a problem to solve.
"I can take out the money, but if I hand over the money directly to the design room, the leader will definitely not collect it, and colleagues will definitely not take it. Isn't this equivalent to sending money to everyone? Brother, can you help me find a company, I give them the money, and then they will come forward to sponsor our design room. My name will never be revealed in the middle. Do you think it's OK?" Feng Lintao said.
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is very simple. Let me think about it... Well, you can go directly to Bao Chengming. He is a commercial information service, and translating some foreign information is also the most normal business. Let him come forward to find your design office to help and pay a high translation fee. I don't think anyone will doubt it."
"That's great, thank you brother!" Feng Lintao was happy and suddenly showed his true nature as a child.
"After talking, let's have a meal." Feng Xiaochen's mother He Xuezhen came over and greeted intimately, "Lin Tao, go and wash your hands. I know you are here today. I bought a chicken in the morning and made braised chicken for you. You have to eat more. Look, this face has become thinner again. If your parents come back and see it, they may feel so distressed."
"It's okay, aunt, I'm in good health. Our unit is also semi-military. Many colleagues will get up to run in the morning, and I will run with them. Now I can run 4,000 meters in one go." Feng Lintao said.
He Xuezhen said: "The body is one aspect, and your personal problems must be solved, right? As soon as the Chinese New Year, you will be 30. Look, Klinna has children, and Ling Yu will be a father next year. You don't even have a girlfriend now, so how can people not worry about it?"
"Uh...I'll wash my hands."
