Chapter 2: Shooting a Promotional Video



Hearing that the people outside were about to kick down the door, Su Lin called out to Uncle Liu.

"Open the door, calm them down, calm them down!"

Uncle Liu nodded vigorously, and just as he opened the office door,

A large foot kicked Uncle Liu, sending him flying to the ground.

"Keep your foot down, Uncle Liu is quite old!"

"If he had opened the door sooner, would I have kicked him?"

"Su Lin, Su Lin is inside!"

Upon hearing someone inside the office call for Su Lin, the teachers and staff outside swarmed in.

"You have to get your wages paid today, or I'll report you to the labor bureau!"

Uncle Liu rubbed his aching back and got up from the ground.

"Brothers and sisters, Principal Su is already trying to find a solution. Hasn't he already paid out a month's salary?"

"Is it a matter of one month's salary now? It's half a year's salary. If I don't get paid soon, my wife is going to run off with Old Wang next door."

"What about the baby formula? Do we need to pay for the tutoring materials? You make it sound so easy, it's a month's salary."

"I heard that New Oriental Culinary School is going to acquire our school. The acquisition fee should be enough to pay salaries, right?"

Su Lin thought that Uncle Liu was so old, and if something unexpected happened to him, it would be difficult to handle.

He walked up to everyone.

"What are you yelling about? What are you yelling about? Don't you want your wages? Go ahead and sue, go ahead and sue right now!"

"I'm in jail, who are you going to ask for your wages from then on!"

Su Lin wasn't going to tolerate these wage earners. How could you be a boss if you weren't ruthless?

If you pay them high wages, they'll really start to take themselves seriously.

Seeing that Su Lin remained unfazed, the ringleaders of the earlier disturbance also became somewhat intimidated.

Even if they sue Su Lin and it goes to court, it will take several months before the judgment can be enforced.

"Then give us a straight answer: when will you pay us back our previous wages? Then we'll stop making a fuss!"

"Or I'll fight you to the death!"

Su Lin pondered for a moment. Maintaining morale was the most important thing right now; even with fewer students, they could continue recruiting.

The teachers have all left, so what's the point of running a vocational school?

A teacher's monthly salary is between 500 and 800, even averaging around 600.

With 200 teachers, the monthly salary alone would amount to 120,000 yuan. Over five months, that's 600,000 yuan!

Where can we find 600,000 now? But maintaining morale is the most important thing right now.

"Full salaries will be paid at the end of this month!" Su Lin said, patting his chest.

"Principal Su, I'm only calling you 'Principal' again because of your father. If it were the 30th of this month..."

If your wages don't arrive, don't blame us for turning hostile!

Even a cornered dog will bite!

"A written agreement is required; verbal agreements are meaningless!"

Su Lin gave Uncle Liu a look.

Uncle Liu took a sheet of paper from his desk and wrote down the details of the salary payment on the 30th of the month.

A written agreement was drawn up in black and white.

Su Lin signed his name and pressed his fingerprint with a flourish!

"Now everyone can go back, right? Let's give Principal Su some time to think of a solution!"

"Okay! Let's trust each other one last time!"

After seeing the troublemaking teacher off, Uncle Liu rubbed his aching back, which he had just injured in a fall.

"Young master, five months' salary is over 600,000 yuan! We only have about 20,000 yuan in our account right now."

What should we do?

Having transmigrated, Su Lin naturally had a solution in mind. Since he had no money, he would raise funds and seek fortune in danger.

"How much is the tuition for one student? By the way, don't keep calling me 'Young Master,' just call me Xiao Su!"

"That won't do, Principal Su, our current tuition is 680 per year."

If a company with a capital of 680 enrolls 1,000 students, that's 680,000, which is enough to cover salaries.

Of course, 680,000 is definitely not enough.

We also need surplus funds to purchase the system's production line and design blueprints.

Moreover, these vocational school students are simply not skilled enough. If we want to expand production, we'll have to buy skill points for these kids.

Improve engineering and technical levels.

"Issuing enrollment brochures, we will continue to enroll 5,000 more students!!!"

With 5,000 students, that's 3.4 million yuan. After paying salaries, there's still some working capital left.

“5,000 students? Principal Su, where am I supposed to find that many students for you? I’ve already visited all the junior high schools in the area.”

Relying solely on the junior high schools around Jinan is definitely not enough.

"If Jinan isn't enough, then the whole of Shandong; if Shandong isn't enough, then the whole country. With 1.4 billion people in this great nation, can't we find 5,000 vocational school students?"

Uncle Liu touched his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.

"Principal Su, let alone the whole country, outside of Jinan, who knows about Lanxiang?"

Su Lin then realized that he had traveled back to the 1990s.

Lanxiang was able to be established thanks to his father's decades of connections in Jinan.

Lanxiang has good cooperative relationships with various universities, but it has no reputation outside of Jinan.

What truly made Lanxiang Vocational School famous nationwide was that phrase...

"For the best excavator technology, look to Lanxiang Technical School in Shandong, China!"

The most important thing now is to create a high-quality advertisement.

If you launch a nationwide campaign to build brand awareness, then recruiting students isn't something anyone can do easily.

"Okay, contact an advertising photography company right away and shoot an advertising video!"

"Promotional video?"

In 1990, television was filled with commercials for products like Red Heart K, Life No. 1, and BackJoy.

I've never seen a school advertise before.

Well-known schools don't need advertising.

This school is terrible; advertising won't help!

"Yes, I will personally take charge of filming this advertisement!"
