It is not uncommon for wealthy people to make money and give back to their alma mater by donating huge sums of money, both at home and abroad.
Jack Ma donated! Little Brother Ma also donated!
The heads of JD.com, Baidu, Pinduoduo, and ByteDance have also donated, the amounts vary, but are basically over 100 million yuan.
The most generous person was Lei Jun, the boss of Xiaomi, who donated more than 1.4 billion to his alma mater, especially during the 130th anniversary celebration, when he donated 1.3 billion in one go.
The most noteworthy thing is that Boss Lei donated the money in his personal name, which means that he used his own money.
This is very important because many wealthy people donate money using their company’s money, which can avoid taxes. Moreover, company money is not equal to the boss’s own money. This is completely different from personal investment.
Boss Wei also made the donation in his personal name this time, using his own personal piggy bank.
But Wei Yang didn't have as big a vision as Boss Lei. He directly gave 1.3 billion. He was not even willing to spend 700 million to match the 700 million yuan for the 70th anniversary of the school.
Of course, although he paid a small amount of money, the scale of Shanghai Theatre Academy is not large either.
Boss Lei's alma mater is Wuhan University, which is one of the top universities in China. The school covers a large area and has many scientific research and experimental projects. Money is spent like water. It is said that Boss Lei's 1.3 billion yuan only lasts for one month.
But Shanghai Theatre Academy is different. It is an art school with a small area and few people, and there are not many places to spend money.
Wei Yang vaguely remembered that the annual budget of Shanghai Theatre Academy in 202X was only over 400 million yuan. Now it is 2015, and the budget is even less. His 100 million yuan is not a small amount.
Anyway, when he told Long Xuetong that he wanted to donate 100 million to Shanghai Theatre Academy, the old man was stunned for half a minute, and his speech was a little stuttering afterwards.
I swear to God, Shanghai Theatre Academy is an art school, and the students who graduate from it are either directors, screenwriters or actors.
It seems to be a profession with relatively high income, but in fact, compared with real entrepreneurs, they are just workers. Even if they have some money, they can only do some charity at most, and there is no such thing as donating to their alma mater.
But I never expected that there would be a strange thing among the students of Shanghai Theatre Academy.
He started his own business at a young age and was very successful. He also had a very good relationship with the school. He was grateful for the help the school had given him when he first started his business. Taking advantage of this special moment of the school anniversary, he made a fortune and got hundreds of millions of yuan.
The school leaders were all grinning from ear to ear. They were very happy about the extra funding, but what made them even happier was the pride on their faces.
We have a good student who can donate 100 million to the school! Do you have one in your school?
Do you have it at Nortel?
The president of the Shanghai Theatre Academy is wishing that the Ministry of Education would quickly convene a relevant meeting at the end of the year so that he can go to Beijing and look at the sour faces of the presidents of the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, feeling all Versailles.
Hahaha, he can laugh out loud even when he's asleep! The students and alumni at the scene were also shocked. The donation was not disclosed in advance by the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and only some senior executives and the people in charge knew about it. Wei Yang's move stunned everyone.
Even Li Jiahang and the two beauties from Xinjiang province were a little confused.
The two people behind had no idea at all. Li Jiahang knew Wei Yang, a wealthy man, and vaguely guessed that Wei Yang might pay some money, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.
When both parties see the amount on the check, their first reaction is to observe the other party's expression.
When he saw the confusion and shock in the other person's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, then he reacted and spat inwardly.
Why should I compete with him/her? The reactions of other alumni were more complicated. Some were happy for their alma mater, some were envious and jealous, and felt that Wei Yang was trying to steal the limelight, but most people were proud of it.
We Shanghai Theatre Academy students are awesome! Our alma mater produced a super-rich man who gave back a lot of money to the school. This will be a topic of conversation when he graduates.
——Do you know Wei Yang from Forbes? He is my junior in college. We played football together when we were in school.
——On our school’s anniversary celebration that year, he donated 100 million yuan to our school, and I was there.
——As for Xiao Wei, when we had dinner together, the child was very polite and he toasted with the rim of his glass very low. It has been many years since we last contacted each other.
The venue became more and more lively because of the 100 million yuan, and Wei Yang, who stepped down from the stage, could not go back.
On the one hand, the school leaders were too enthusiastic, and other leaders were also willing to have a chat. On the other hand, everyone was waiting to block people, and going back would be walking into a trap. It would be better to stay out of the spotlight on the podium.
In the era of microblogs, information is transmitted extremely quickly! The Shanghai Theatre Academy had a large number of stars today, which was quite a big deal, and many fans and onlookers were paying attention.
Wei Yang made a donation on the spot, and many alumni and students present took photos and videos and posted them online, which quickly caused heated discussions and then became a hot topic on Weibo.
【Duo Shao?! 】
[I bought scratch tickets, and I never dared to spend more than 100,000 yuan, but someone donated 100 million yuan with just a wave of his hand]
[Wei Yang's fans, let me share some knowledge. When Wei Yang first started his business, he was short of funds and had few connections. The Shanghai Theatre Academy gave him a lot of help at the time. Wei Yang has publicly expressed his gratitude many times and almost stayed in school for graduate studies. After graduation, he has maintained a good relationship with the school. Many people criticized him for using people from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, saying that he was trying to build a circle. In fact, he has feelings for the alumni of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and this donation is probably to repay his gratitude.]
[I happen to be a wealthy layman. Tsk tsk, I am worthy of being the King of Wei.]
[Wei Bi Wang: It's just a small goal, why are you so excited? ]
[Guaiguai, born in a small town, became famous at a young age, has an amazing appearance, has accumulated a huge fortune through entrepreneurship, and is surrounded by beauties. Wei Yang can be said to be the protagonist of a cool novel about a domineering CEO]
[Wei Yang: Overbearing CEO? I've seen it, but it's not as good as mine]
[Haha, the boss usually has a girl, but Boss Wei is famous for being a playboy]
【The harem literary tyrant】
[Other screenwriters have to rack their brains to write scripts about domineering CEOs, but Wei Yang writes scripts by simply copying daily life]
[Wei Yang: What script? It's just my personal diary]
[Grassroots counterattack, damn, I have material for my dreams at night]
[The pressure was put on Huang Xiaoming]
[Don't do that. Wei Yang is in the entertainment industry, but not just the entertainment industry. The people he is competing with are all big guys like Xiao Ma Ge. Don't bully Brother Xiao Ming.]
[I won’t say anything more. Can’t I just pay for a year of P station membership?]
【……】
For a grassroots person like Boss Wei, after achieving success, his behavior of giving back to his alma mater, old friends, and hometown greatly improves his image in the public's impression.
JD.com boss Liu failed in the United States, but his reputation is still pretty good. There are two main reasons for this.
One is a noble son from a poor family. This is very important because most people come from ordinary families, so they will put some of their emotions on this successful person with the same background.
This is the case with Boss Lei, and Wei Yang has also taken advantage of many things over the years because of his background.
Another is to give back to one's hometown, which shows that this person values gratitude and affection, and never forgets his original intention, making it easier for him to gain everyone's favor.
Giving back to the alma mater is not much different. If the alma mater can give a little help, and we repay the kindness with a spring, it will be an even better story.
Boss Wei has always had a good reputation among the public over the years, and his donation to his alma mater has won him countless fans.
From a practical point of view, this is equivalent to spending 100 million yuan to advertise for Wei Yang and related companies, and the effect may be better than spending 100 million yuan in real money on advertising...
…
I wanted to go home, but was dragged to the lunch banquet.
Because many leaders and alumni were preparing to leave after attending the morning activities, the luncheon was larger in layout and scale than the dinner.
Wei Yang himself was praised and toasted by school leaders and some alumni in turn.
As mentioned before, some students of Shanghai Theatre Academy go into the arts, some change careers, some go into business, and a certain proportion go into politics.
Given Boss Wei's status, the first few are fine, but the last category still needs to be taken seriously. Moreover, many of them are acquaintances, and some have helped him a lot in the past.
Wei Yang was in the spotlight again because he was in a good mood today. The seniors also forced him to drink, and those who had dealt with him knew more or less how much he could drink. Even many of the older generation came to talk to him, and it was difficult for Boss Wei to refuse them.
Even if Boss Wei was the reincarnation of the god of wine, he couldn't withstand the siege of so many people.
So, Boss Wei got drunk, which was rare for him, and was helped away by Li Jiahang in a daze.
Li Jiahang had also drunk alcohol and was having trouble driving. He was thinking about whether to call a designated driver or call someone for help when Li Bingbing appeared out of nowhere.
"Is it hard to get a designated driver? Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Li Bingbing took out his keys and explained with a smile: "I felt a little uncomfortable today, so I didn't drink."
"No need to trouble you."
Before Li Jiahang could speak, he came back with Rouba, who had just gone to get the things that Wei Yang had left in the box. He hugged Wei Yang without any concealment, and then rejected Li Bingbing's proposal with a smile.
"We have arranged it... well, here we come."
Just as he finished speaking, Naza, who had left first, came back, fed Wei Yang the hangover medicine he had just bought with water, and then said.
"It was too congested inside, so I asked the driver to stop the car at the intersection and wait."
"Okay then, be careful on the road."
Li Bingbing looked at the two beauties from Xinjiang province who were on guard and vigilant, smiled gently, and left calmly.
So the remaining three people began to help Wei Yang leave. Those with experience knew that drunk people were particularly heavy, and the two beauties from Xinjiang Province were not very strong, so Li Jiahang had to rely on himself.
There were quite a few people coming and going who wanted to help, but in order to avoid any accidents, the worried Li Jiahang decided to come alone.
If it is difficult to support him, then just carry him on her back. Di Lieba used her spare coat to cover Wei Yang, on the one hand to hide his face so as not to attract outsiders' attention, and on the other hand to prevent the wind from blowing.
When they arrived at the destination, with the help of the driver, Li Jiahang got Wei Yang into the car. He was already exhausted and sweating.
Just as he was about to get in the car to rest, Gulinaza stopped him and said, "Thank you, Brother Hang. We'll go back first."
Li Jiahang: “???”
No, isn't this a nanny car? It's not like there's no room for you to sit in it. It can, but it's inconvenient for you to follow along! The second beauty from Xinjiang Province smiled, but very firmly asked Li Jiachenghang to get out of the car.
Li Jiahang, who was tired from the journey, was a little annoyed. Just when he was about to put on some airs as "Brother Hang", he suddenly noticed that Boss Wei, who had been sleeping like a dead pig just now, stood up behind the second beauty from Xinjiang Province and waved at him, with a clear meaning, telling him to get out, and then went on lying back on his seat.
Li Jiahang: “???”
Shit, this bastard made me so tired, but I didn’t get drunk!
Brothers give you heart to heart, you use your brain with brothers! However, just as he was stunned, the second beauty from Xinjiang Province had already closed the car door. Soon, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and Li Jiahang was left alone in the wind.
"My fucking car keys are still in that grandson's bag!!!"
Unfortunately, the man who was obsessed with beauty did not hear this heart-wrenching cry. After he got in the car, he "woke up" a little after a while. He lay on Gulinaza's legs with his eyes closed, groaning and saying that he was dizzy. Gulinaza could only gently massage his temples.
"Brother, are you feeling better?"
"Um."
After massaging him for a while, he started to grumble about being thirsty again, and Rouba could only half-kneel down and hold up his head to feed him water.
Fortunately, when the two beauties from Xinjiang Province got in the car, the partition between the driver's cab and the back seat was opened, so the driver could not see or hear clearly what was happening behind.
Otherwise, if you see this scene, if you encounter a narrow-minded driver, he might step on the accelerator and drive directly into the Suzhou River...
But the driver still made his presence felt and on the way back, he used a communication device to ask about the destination.
The second beauty from Xinjiang Province suddenly became energetic. Gulinaza raised her hand and said, "Let's go to my house. My house is close."
"We are from the same place, is there any difference?"
Rouba complained, then changed the subject: "Let's go to my house. I have ingredients there and can make some hangover soup for brother."
"I can also order takeout."
“Takeout isn’t as healthy as what I cook.”
“…”
Neither of them gave in to the quarrel, and Wei Yang had a headache. He was not drunk, but that didn't mean he didn't drink too much. Although he enjoyed himself, he also felt dizzy.
"Don't argue, come to my house, I have everything, and the bed is big."
The two beauties from Xinjiang province were both blushing, but they did not refute. If anyone backed down at this time, wouldn't that make the other party take advantage for nothing?
So Wei Yang gave an address, and the driver turned and soon drove into a new community.
This time, Boss Wei was briefly "clear-headed", otherwise he was afraid that the second beauty from Xinjiang Province would not be able to help him. He took the elevator to his floor, Wei Yang entered the password to open the door, and then saw the second beauty from Xinjiang Province hesitating.
Even though he was mentally prepared and refused to give in, he still had some reservations and felt a little embarrassed when he got close to her.
Wei Yang smiled and took the initiative to give him a way out: "Ouch, I'm dizzy, help me up."
The sincere man immediately stepped forward to support him and touched Wei Yang's forehead with concern.
"It's a bit hot, do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, just help me to the bedroom and rest."
Na Zha stupidly reached out to support him, and did not forget to ask Rouba to pour a glass of water and bring it to the bedroom.
By this time, Rouba had almost figured out what was going on. He secretly glared at Wei Yang, but after hesitating for a moment, he stepped in and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of warm water.
I found the bedroom, pushed the door open and entered. Sure enough, the bed was very big, and Naza was lying on the bed... wait, lying?
Before she could react, the bedroom door behind her was closed, and then she was picked up by Wei Yang. A second later, she was lying on the bed, with Naza next to her, her face flushed but a little excited.
Without the wings of a phoenix, the big and small pearls fall on a jade plate! (End of this chapter)
