Chapter 332 Why is he so likable?
The next day, when Li Ye just arrived at the school debate team, Qin Yongsheng grabbed his hand and said, "You are several days late again this time. Several people are dissatisfied with you. Be careful not to be squeezed out at the last minute."
Li Ye asked curiously, "It's already mid-February, and there's only half a month left. Are there still people who won't give up?"
Qin Yongsheng pointed to the corner of his shirt towards the debate team's activity room, motioning Li Ye to look over there.
Li Ye took a look and found that they were several substitute members of the school debate team.
A team preparing for an event like the International College Debate Conference certainly needs substitute players. Otherwise, if someone gets bitten by a dog or scratched by a cat, wouldn’t they be left helpless?
In addition, students who are able to be admitted to Kyoto University also have a strong competitive spirit, so it is normal for them to want to replace the main players.
It’s just that we are going to Lijiaopo in early March, and it’s already the 10th of February. Li Ye, Yang Chen and the others have already gotten along very well, so who can still get ahead against the odds?
Yang Chen also walked over and whispered, “It’s Guan Tingzhong. Ever since he was replaced, he has been holding back his anger.
Li Ye, your attitude is always negative, and the day before yesterday, Guan Tingzhong stayed in Director Liu’s office for a long time.”
"Not a positive attitude?" Li Ye smiled and whispered, "That's really a big hat."
The school debate team is actively preparing for the competition. The school hopes that everyone will take the initiative to return to school early during the Spring Festival, but the school has not made a firm rule that students must return early.
After all, the Spring Festival is the most important festival for flower growers. Some students live far away from home and it takes a week to travel back and forth by car. They can't just go home to see their families briefly and then rush back again, right?
Besides, Li Ye also has to entertain Pei Wencong, which one is more important?
If Li Ye hadn't missed Wen Leyu, he would have definitely waited another week and returned when school officially started.
"Whoever wants to have sex can have sex! I don't care."
Li Ye said lightly, then picked up the debate topic materials compiled by Yang Chen and others and memorized them easily.
Some opportunities are really nothing to Li Ye.
But others are racking their brains to get this opportunity.
For example, Guan Tingzhong.
At that time, the school debate team received a notice to go to Lijiaopo for a competition, and there were also places for studying abroad in Lijiaopo. Then the school's Director Liu asked on the spot who was interested in studying abroad in Lijiaopo.
Li Ye said that he had no interest in studying abroad, Qin Yongsheng and Yang Chen said that they would follow the school's arrangements, but Guan Tingzhong clearly expressed his attitude of "returning to serve the motherland after graduation."
Then he became a substitute, and the school selected another graduate student, Qiao Dapeng, to replace Guan Tingzhong as the main first debater.
Later, Li Ye learned that two of the study-abroad quotas that Li Jiapo gave to Peking University were designated for the school debate team.
If Li Ye doesn't go, the remaining options are to choose two out of three, and one of them must be eliminated, lest selfish motives take over when the time comes and destroy the tacit understanding within the debate team.
Therefore, Yang Chen and Qin Yongsheng, who obeyed the school's arrangements, got the opportunity to study abroad at Leekathaka National University, while Guan Tingzhong, who actively sought the opportunity, was eliminated and did not even qualify as the main debater.
But now it seems that Guan Tingzhong still has a good character and a tenacious spirit of never giving up.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about a few things briefly."
Li Ye was recording some information with his head down when he suddenly heard someone talking. He looked up and saw Director Liu, who was in charge of the school debate team, coming in from the door.
Everyone put down what they were holding and looked at Director Liu seriously, especially Guan Tingzhong, who also glanced at Li Ye.
"I will not say more about the importance of this debate. I just want to remind some people not to be self-centered, disregard the interests of the collective, and do things that are not conducive to unity."
"We have prepared for this long, and we must not let one person's selfishness affect the debate team's performance and the reputation of our school."
Director Liu's tone was so stern that Li Ye frowned.
I just came back a few days late. Is it necessary to make a big deal out of it?
He turned his head slightly and looked at Guan Tingzhong not far away, and happened to make eye contact with Guan Tingzhong.
Guan Tingzhong immediately turned his head back and did not respond to Li Ye's gaze.
"Student Li Ye!"
Li Ye suddenly heard Director Liu calling his name, and he stopped looking at Guan Tingzhong and looked at Director Liu indifferently.
He already had a plan in mind. If Director Liu said he was selfish, he would debate with Director Liu and seek an explanation.
At least you should clearly identify who is trying to deceive you and have a good chat with him.
But when Li Ye saw Director Liu's expression, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Because Director Liu, who had been cold and stern just now, now had a face as warm as spring.
"Student Li Ye, this is the invitation letter from Li Jiapo to Seven Inch Blade. It was just sent to the school yesterday."
An invitation letter for literary exchange from Lijiaopo fell into Li Ye's hands, leaving Li Ye speechless.
It seems that the person that Director Liu just severely reprimanded was not me, so who was it?
Li Ye was just thinking about it, and Director Liu waved his hand and said, "Student Li Ye, let's go out and talk about something."
After the two of them left the activity room, Director Liu said, "Student Li Ye! This time we were invited to Lijiapo, which can be said to represent the face of our Beijing University.
But we don’t have much experience traveling overseas, and the conditions are very limited. I heard from the Youth League Committee that Li Ye, do you have some connections with Fenghua Clothing?”
Li Ye suddenly understood and nodded slowly, "Yes, there is some relationship. Director Liu wants them to sponsor a few sets of clothes?"
"Hahahaha, I haven't even opened my mouth yet, classmate Li Ye, you are so refreshing."
Am I happy?
You are happy, aren't you?
However, Li Ye is not opposed to this kind of sponsorship. The live broadcast of the debate competition will definitely be broadcast on TV One, and the advertising effect cannot be simply measured by money.
"Ahem, besides"
Director Liu coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "Also, I heard that Fenghua Clothing earns foreign exchange through exports. Can we get some foreign exchange sponsorship? The school's funding for us is very tight!"
Li Ye looked at Director Liu's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Who could have imagined that the richest school in the country would now beg students for alms for a little foreign exchange.
Do you want to buy a high-end suit or high-end leather shoes? Maybe you can try to get them, but foreign exchange is really a gamble.
Come to think of it, in the early 1980s, foreign exchange was needed everywhere. I estimate that the foreign exchange funds approved by the school could cover the air tickets, accommodation and various necessary expenses.
"I'll try to contact them! But Director Liu, don't hold your hopes too high. Their foreign exchange has also been reallocated, and the bulk of it has been withheld by the government."
Director Liu nodded and said, "That's indeed the case. Li Ye, please try to contact them! If you can get two thousand dollars, we will have more room for this trip."
Li Ye: “.”
It’s only two thousand dollars, why didn’t you say so earlier!
But think about it, if you exchange two thousand US dollars on the black market, it would cost you 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!
Director Liu and Li Ye returned to the activity room, and the way they were having a pleasant conversation was so glaring and disturbing in Guan Tingzhong's eyes.
As expected, Director Liu glared at Guan Tingzhong fiercely and said, "Everyone, keep preparing! We will be leaving in less than 20 days, so you must pay attention to unity and don't do anything small."
Director Liu walked out, and then the activity room became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Guan Tingzhong.
Guan Tingzhong's face was ashen, and he was holding a pile of information, as if he wanted to bury his head in it.
He really couldn't understand how a student who was undisciplined and had a bad attitude could suddenly become so likable?
Guan Tingzhong did not realize that he only noticed Li Ye's shortcomings but not his strengths and abilities.
Especially the ability to spend money, which is something he cannot understand now.
. . . . . . .
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is early March.
All members of the debate team held a "departure ceremony" at Peking University, and reporters from the school newspaper kept taking pictures with their cameras.
Because the clothes sponsored by Pengcheng No. 7 Factory were so outstanding, they attracted the attention of others and they kept asking where these clothes came from. When they heard that they were domestic brands, no one was not surprised.
As the sponsor of the Peking University Debate Team, Jin Peng had a pleasant conversation with Director Liu and others. From how enthusiastically Director Liu shook hands with him, it was clear that he had won the friendship of both parties with a dozen sets of clothes and two thousand US dollars.
Yang Chen and Qin Yongsheng asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Brother, how much does this outfit cost? I didn't see this style in the department store!"
Li Ye said: "This is a new model of the new season. It will be on the market in half a month! As for how much it costs, I don't know, but a set of inner and outer clothes should be around 300!"
"three hundred?"
Several people around were surprised. Qiao Dapeng, who had just joined, asked in a low voice: "So when we come back, do we have to return it?"
Li Ye shook his head and smiled, "Ours are custom-made, they are tailored to the body shape. Who will wear them when they are returned? Who will we sell the old clothes to?"
"Hiss~"
"Good boy, we made a net profit of 600 yuan on this trip abroad, regardless of whether we win or lose!"
"Whether we win or lose, we must win and cannot lose."
"That's not what I meant. I meant that Fenghua Clothing is really too enthusiastic."
The four main debaters of the debate team each had two sets of Fenghua brand clothing, one set of suit, and one set of Chinese stand-up collar. Isn't that six hundred yuan in total?
You have to know that now a college graduate only earns 50 or 60 yuan a month, and these two sets of clothes are equivalent to a year's salary!
But everyone only sees the value of the clothes but fails to realize their own value.
If you want to create a fashion brand, it is not enough to just advertise and do good workmanship, you also need to choose the right target group.
Think about the line "branded goods, Baleno" said by the great actor Huang in "Crazy Stone", which directly lowered the grade of Baleno.
So who should be the target group for Fenghua brand clothing?
In fact, they are people like Yang Chen and Qin Yongsheng who like fashion and have social status.
When these young people grow up, they will be the loyal leaders who are most likely to influence fashion trends.
Fenghua brand clothing has been quietly infiltrating major colleges and universities in Beijing. Even if it means reducing profits, it has never stopped its silent rooting and growth.
Only in this way, when those foreign brands come in a few years, Fenghua will be able to fight.
