Li Nanxing thought that with the help of Uncle Klein, his wish to open a small shop on campus would be easily realized, but he didn't expect that the first step would be blocked by the principal.
The current principal's surname is Barlock.
This is a middle-aged white man of medium build. His hooked nose makes him look difficult to get along with. His hair is a little sparse and has been combed back with hairspray. His eyes reveal arrogance and indifference.
As soon as the other party saw Li Nanxing, he looked her up and down very rudely. Just as Li Nanxing stated her purpose of coming and wanted to rent a store in the school to open a small shop, she was interrupted by the other party rudely before she could finish.
"I'm sorry, Miss Li! All the shops in the school are full, and there are no extra shops to rent to you! Maybe you can go outside the school to have a look?" Barlock said sorry, but he raised his chin slightly, and his hooked nose looked even more mean, as if he was declaring his noble status. His cold eyes revealed an expression full of impatience towards the person in front of him.
Li Nanxing paused, still unwilling to give up, and continued tactfully, "Perhaps I can negotiate with the existing shop owners. Maybe one of them would be willing to rent me a small space so I can set up a small stall! Or perhaps the school could grant me a small plot of land in the square so I can build a small shop there. That would also be possible, right?"
The area occupied by this school is actually very large. Many places are actually empty, with only some lawns planted. There are also many open spaces in the square, so it is completely possible to open many more shops!
Li Nanxing’s proposal actually provides the school with an additional source of income, which is beneficial to both parties!
This university is private, different from public universities in China. As long as it is beneficial to the school and the school’s top management agrees, it’s fine.
So the obstacle standing in Li Nanxing's way now is actually the gloomy-faced Principal Ballock in front of him!
If it weren't for the fact that racial discrimination has existed in the United States for decades and the policies have been changing every day, which has been a real bummer, Li Nanxing might have really planned to start a business in the United States!
After all, the US dollar is really valuable during this period. It is more cost-effective to earn US dollars directly than to make money abroad!
With an area as large as the Guang Center Plaza, Li Nanxing felt that a shopping mall could be built directly, which could cover all the needs of eating, drinking, living, traveling and playing!
Think about what level of students are able to enter this university?
Except for a few students from poor backgrounds who excel in their studies and receive full scholarships, all others who can enter this school are either rich or noble!
Otherwise, the tuition fees alone would be enough to dissuade countless students from ordinary families.
Especially at this time when happy education is popular, American high school students have long become a world-famous dropout factory, with approximately 1.2 million American high school students dropping out every year.
Even if they can successfully graduate from high school, many high school graduates will not be able to continue their studies if they do not have a strong family background or sufficient financial strength.
These good educational resources have long been divided up by capital.
First of all, the high tuition fees of these elite universities are enough to discourage most ordinary families. Many universities in the United States use donations for admission. To put it bluntly, parents have to bribe their children so that they can go to school.
Therefore, Li Nanxing did not dare to underestimate the consumption level of the students in this school!
Even if you sell pancakes in school, you can make a lot of money!
And the most important thing is that the land prices in this era are all very cheap for Li Nanxing.
Whether buying it directly or renting it for a long term, it is a business that is sure to make a profit, so Li Nanxing is still very cautious about dealing with the school's top management.
But she didn't expect that even though she spoke so politely and tactfully, the other party still refuted her words mercilessly.
"Ms. Li, let me remind you that the school's land planning is a matter for the school's top management to decide! You, a freshman, don't need to dictate the school's plans! Now, if you have nothing else to say, could you please step out?"
Li Nanxing was kicked out just like that.
She was extremely depressed!
I couldn't help but curse this arrogant white man in my heart!
Her proposal is clearly a win-win one, so why does it seem like it's offensive to the other party?
You are really sick!
After returning home, Li Nanxing became more and more angry. He picked up his phone and searched the Internet for information about the deeds of this principal.
Although there is very little relevant information about the 1970s, Li Nanxing still found clues about this principal - a very famous racist!
No wonder!
As soon as they saw she was Asian, they spoke so rudely!
Who is this person?
As the president of a well-known university, shouldn't you treat everyone equally and teach without distinction?
Why is it that here, students have to be divided into different levels?
Although Li Nanxing was very angry, he couldn't do anything to the other party for the time being!
In today's social atmosphere in the United States, racial discrimination is rampant, and even schools are no exception.
Even after decades, this kind of racial discrimination concept in the United States has always been engraved in the hearts of these foreigners. Although they shout "human rights", the discrimination against other ethnic minorities in their hearts is the most serious!
It's really a double-edged sword, which makes people speechless!
Let’s talk about the racist Principal Barlock again.
Li Nanxing wanted to continue searching for information about his background. She had to first know where this guy came from and whether he had any backers!
In the United States, in order for a person to become the president of a top university, in addition to having certain abilities himself, he must also have the support of the directors of the school's board of directors!
Yes, this private university certainly has a board of directors behind it, which is the University Board of Trustees (or Council). In addition to the president, the Board of Trustees also has six other members.
The board of directors does not actually interfere with the daily operations of the school, but the appointment of the principal and major events in the school require the board of directors to hold meetings to make decisions.
As for the latest news about this board of directors, the latest news that Li Nanxing found was that in 2024, the school's board of directors stripped 13 graduates of their degrees and diplomas simply because they participated in protests in support of Palestine!
Tsk, it turns out that politics still has an impact on the school!
Therefore, behind this Principal Barlock, there must be one or even several school directors supporting him!
Li Nanxing has now decided to open a store in the school, so he must collect more information about the other party!
