Chapter 463 Lu Yiming Lost Money
As they were talking, the phone on the table rang. Jiang Rongfa picked up the receiver and said in a vigorous voice, "Hello, this is Junzi Interactive Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd."
The person on the other side introduced himself and said, "You are Mr. Jiang, right? I am Gao Yousi from Rice Capital. After our company's evaluation, we feel that your project is still a little far from our expectations, so we will not go over to inspect it this afternoon. Let's talk about investment later."
"Not coming?"
Jiang Rong said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, look at what you said. It's okay. No need to trouble you. My angel round of investment has been completed."
Gao Yousi asked in surprise: "What are you doing? Have you found other investors?"
Jiang Rongfa said: "No, to be precise, the investor took the initiative to find me and invested five million."
When Gao Yousi heard this, he immediately felt unbelievable. Jiang Rongfa's lousy game company had no profit prospects at all, and its financial situation was a mess. Jiang Rongfa himself had no entrepreneurial experience or extraordinary skills, but how could he successfully raise funds?
Could it be some stupid and rich coal boss?
"Okay, Mr. Gao, I'm still very busy here, so I won't chat any more. Come over for tea when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rongfa was overjoyed and felt very proud.
Jiang Rongfa personally drove Lu Yiming and the others back to school, while Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang's minds were still in a state of confusion. What had just happened was really beyond their imagination.
Originally he was just there to help with the appearance, but how come in the end, Lu Yiming bought the company outright?
After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yiming said to everyone, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. The whole world knows that I am a low-key person and I don't like to show off."
Ni Cong complained: "You are a person who spends 5 million to buy a company as a toy at any time, how dare you say that you are low-key?"
Wang Dazhuang also echoed: "Exactly, look at yourself, from your hair to your toes, where can you see that you are low-key?"
Lu Yiming laughed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, these are not important. By the way, I have joined the model aircraft club, how about you? Have you joined the club?"
Ni Cong shouted, "Wow, you actually joined the model airplane club, and you still say you're not rich? Model airplanes are not something that ordinary people can afford."
Wang Dazhuang sighed and said, "Why is the gap between people so big?"
After school in the afternoon, Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue had just returned to the dormitory after dinner. Chen Chusheng was sitting at the desk reading a book, while Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang were dressed politely and had their hair waxed.
Lu Yiming joked, "Hey, you two, are you planning to go to a wedding or a blind date?"
While fixing her sideburns in front of the mirror, Ni Cong said to Lu Yiming, "There's a dance party in the college activity room today. There will be many girls from other departments there. We two are planning to go and bump into each other. Aren't you going?"
Lu Yiming said: "Forget it. I don't like this kind of tone, and I have something else tonight."
Wang Dazhuang said: "It's pointless to ask this question. Lu Yiming is already in a relationship. If I had a girlfriend as beautiful as this, I wouldn't be interested."
Ni Cong asked, "Are you planning to spend a night of drinking and partying with your girlfriend tonight?"
Lu Yiming laughed and scolded, "What do you mean by a life of debauchery? I have something serious to do. The model airplane club has a meeting tonight. I heard that the city will hold a model airplane competition soon. Besides, the club just finished recruiting new members, so we have to meet up and get to know each other."
Ni Cong complained: "In the model airplane club, only you and Chen Chusheng, two rich second-generations, can afford it. Poor people should leave."
Although it's free to join the club, it would be embarrassing if you don't even have a model airplane of your own.
Lu Yiming was a little surprised and asked, "He also joined the model airplane club? No wonder he has been going out so often these days. I thought he had a genetic mutation."
Chen Chusheng suddenly poked his head out from under the covers and said, "You are the one with a genetic mutation."
Lu Yiming suddenly felt as embarrassed as if he was caught talking bad about someone behind their back. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, you are in the dormitory. I thought you were out. Then let's go to the model airplane club together later."
"Um."
This time, the model aircraft club borrowed classroom 201 in the first teaching building for its meeting.
At this moment, quite a few people have gathered in the classroom.
As soon as Lu Yiming and Chen Chusheng went up to the second floor, a man came over to chat with them: "Hey, are you a freshman?"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but look at the other person in surprise: "You can see this too?"
The man immediately showed a smug expression and boasted: "I am familiar with all the senior members in the club, except you two. There is not much turnover in our model airplane club, so I can figure it out with a little thought."
Then, he extended his right hand in a familiar manner and said enthusiastically: "Come, let me introduce myself. My name is Wei Jianmin, and I'm glad to meet you."
Lu Yiming shook his hand and said, "I am Lu Yiming, a freshman in the Computer Science Department."
"Chen Chusheng."
Wei Jianmin was obviously an outgoing person, and he looked very talkative. He smiled and pulled Lu Yiming to start chatting: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, welcome to join the big family of the Model Aircraft Club. Come in quickly, I heard that the Model Aircraft Club has elected a new president. It was quite sudden. We called everyone here today to talk about the Youth Cup Model Aircraft Competition and the appointment of the new president."
He looked mysterious and continued, "I heard that the new president's identity is very mysterious. Currently, only the former president Chen Qingfeng and the two vice presidents know about it. As for other news, the three of them are keeping silent. I think there must be some shocking secret here."
Lu Yiming looked at Wei Jianmin, who was almost as good as a gossip boy, and couldn't help laughing: "Amazing, you know a lot."
When Wei Jianmin heard this, he immediately became proud and said, "Of course. After all, I have set a goal for myself, which is to run for the president of the Model Aircraft Club before my junior year, so I have to start working hard to build up my network from now on."
"It's a good thing to have a goal, so keep going."
“That’s a must.”
Wei Jianmin seemed full of confidence.
Among all the freshmen, he found himself to be the most active one.
He felt that after the seniors graduated, who else would be able to take on the position of president?
In the classroom, Feng Yuan and Yang Shu were surrounded by members of the model aircraft club.
"Senior Feng, Senior Yang, I heard that our model aircraft club is going to have a new president?"
"What the hell is going on? Why are they suddenly changing the president?"
"That's right, we still don't know who the new president is!"
Many people expressed dissatisfaction. After all, shouldn’t matters like changing the president be discussed openly and honestly, with all members then allowed to vote together?
It's hard to convince people that we have to change it so suddenly.
There are a few sophomores and juniors in particular who have neither high nor low qualifications and have some aspirations for the position of president. Now they suddenly hear that the president is going to be changed, and the candidate is not any of them, so one can imagine their dissatisfaction.
Feng Yuan and Yang Shu looked at each other, and when they thought about the scene at that time, they didn't know how to start the conversation.
Yang Shu sighed and said, "It's hard for us to explain the details of this matter. Let's wait for the president to come and let him explain it to everyone in person."
When the two saw Lu Yiming sitting in the corner, their eyes suddenly became complicated , but they said nothing.
After all, they can't say that they were bribed by the other party, right?
Although no one could refuse three million, they were still shy and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Let the president take the blame. If the sky falls, someone taller will take it up.
After a while, Chen Qingfeng walked into the classroom.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the audience.
"President Chen, you came just in time. I heard that our model aircraft club is going to get a new president?"
"Why weren't we notified in advance? Was this a covert operation?"
"Who is the new president?"
Faced with the gossiping members of the model aircraft club, Chen Qingfeng was overwhelmed. The incident was all caused by Lu Yiming, and he was also innocent. Because of this, he even lost his job as the president. It was so heartbreaking to talk about it.
But after all, he is still a very responsible person, and he still has to do what he should do. He had to quickly appease everyone : "The president has indeed been replaced, and it is true that I did not discuss it with everyone. But there is a reason for this. I believe that after everyone knows the reason, they will understand my decision."
"I am now a junior, and my time and energy will soon be focused on graduation thesis and job hunting, so I need to find a suitable successor to take over the model aircraft club."
"The next president of the model aircraft club has been chosen, and that's..."
The members looked at each other, trying to see some clues from everyone's eyes.
"Lu Yiming."
"Everyone applauded to express welcome and congratulations."
Lu Yiming?
When they heard this name, all the members of the model aircraft club were stunned.
"There are only a few people in the model airplane club. Is there anyone named Lu Yiming?"
"Who is Lu Yiming?"
Everyone was confused and said they had never heard of this name.
Wei Jianmin, who was sitting in the corner chatting and laughing with Lu Yiming, looked as if he had seen a ghost and stared at Lu Yiming: "What did you say your name was?"
Lu Yiming said honestly: "Lu Yiming."
"New president?"
"right."
"Oh my god!"
"I am a man."
"Good God!"
“…”
Even Chen Chusheng, who was sitting next to Lu Yiming, was so shocked that his face changed.
My roommate suddenly became the president of the model aircraft club?
What is this unfolding?
Chen Qingfeng looked at Lu Yiming and said, "Lu Yiming, come up and say a few words to everyone."
"Um."
Lu Yiming stood up, walked in front of the crowd with an impressive attitude, supported himself on the podium with both hands, looked down at the entire audience, and began to speak.
"I know that everyone has a lot of questions in their minds, and they are all very unconvinced. They think that I am just a freshman, I have little experience, and I have not made any achievements. Why should I be the president?"
Those who originally wanted to stand up and object, after hearing Lu Yiming express their thoughts, were no longer in a hurry to express their opinions. They all sat in their seats, ready to see how Lu Yiming would convince them.
The Model Aircraft Club is a top-ranked club in Fudan University and has won many honors for the school. Therefore, it is also valued by the school. Not only does it receive funding support every semester, but students who are able to serve as club cadres also have more opportunities to interact with school leaders.
Don’t underestimate this point. University is actually a simplified version of society.
What exists in society can also be found here.
For example, some secret benefits and resources are not open to ordinary students at all. Only if you perform well enough will you have the opportunity to stand out from the crowd of students.
Therefore, the position of president of the model aircraft club has always been eyed by many people, and not just anyone can take the position and sit firmly in it.
As a pure newcomer, Lu Yiming's qualifications and achievements were difficult to convince the public, so everyone was waiting to see how the show would end.
As Lu Yiming spoke, he looked at the members in front of him.
"At the beginning, when I said I wanted to be the president, senior Chen Qingfeng and others were strongly opposed. After all, the Model Aircraft Club is everyone's club, and I can't just say I want to be the president. That's ridiculous. But I have special skills in persuading others. At that time, I convinced three seniors with just one sentence. Today, I will use this sentence to convince everyone."
Hearing Lu Yiming say this, many people in the audience couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Who is this person? He speaks in a very arrogant way."
"I don't know, maybe he's the son or relative of some leader."
"Facts aside, this guy speaks at a pretty high level and is quite humorous."
"So which sentence is it?"
"Need I say more? Have you ever heard that a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death? He just joined the model airplane club in his freshman year, and he became the president before he even came to the club. If he wasn't a relative, I would have eaten the table in front of me."
There are no poor people in the model aircraft club, and in this era, if you are not poor, it means that there are some tough guys in your family, and many of them are people with connections.
People with connections have their own pride. Although they acknowledge that Lu Yiming is also a person with connections, this does not prevent them from despising Lu Yiming.
What's more, what is Fu Ri University?
There are so many people with connections and rich second-generations everywhere. Who do you think you are as a freshman?
At that moment, someone sneered, intending to wait for Lu Yiming to finish speaking before giving him a warning to let him know that there are always people better than you.
When it comes to matters of interest, everyone's minds are very active. As long as Lu Yiming reveals the slightest flaw, they will gang up on him.
However, Lu Yiming's next words made everyone lose their temper all of a sudden.
He said: "I told Senior Chen Qingfeng that I would take out 3 million in cash as the activity fund for the model aircraft club. In the future, as long as it is a reasonable expense, I can ask Senior Chen Qingfeng to reimburse me. The money is now under his management. In exchange, he gave me the position of president of the model aircraft club."
As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom exploded.
"Wow, is this true?"
"Three million?"
“So this is the charm of money.”
"All three million was given to the Model Aircraft Club? You can use it just by applying? President, I love you."
"Fuck, you're betraying so quickly?"
"Three million, don't you want to share some?"
"That's true! Long live President Lu Yiming!"
As soon as the three million was paid, everyone immediately understood why Chen Qingfeng gave the position of president of the model aircraft club to Lu Yiming.
If it were me, I would give in too.
Three million!
Money also has weight, and the three million from Lu Yiming is like a mountain pressing down on everyone in the model aircraft club. No one can bear it.
Lu Yiming laughed immediately.
Sure enough, no one can withstand the power of money.
"I have finished what I have to say. Who is in favor? Who is against?"
Looking at the elegant and easy-going smile on Lu Yiming's face, many people were so angry that their teeth were itching.
"Fuck, are you trying to bribe us with money?"
" That is to say, are we, the students of Fudan University, so spineless?"
"You want me to vote for you as the president for just three million. You... are really good at judging people!"
"Without a doubt, Lu Yiming has impressed me with his sincerity. I believe that under his leadership, the Model Aircraft Club will definitely be able to move to a higher level and become the top club in Fu Ri University."
"I won't say anything more. I'll be angry with anyone who votes against it today!"
Although many people were resentful and secretly cursed, saying things like "What's so great about being rich?" and other unrealistic things, they still raised their hands honestly when it came time to vote.
Are you kidding? It’s three million. Any 1,800 yuan you can get is good enough, okay?
In the end, with everyone's witness, Lu Yiming was successfully elected as the president of the Fu Ri University Model Aircraft Club with a unanimous vote.
He became the only president who was "popularly elected" since the establishment of the model aircraft club.
This is the magic of money.
Chen Qingfeng spoke again and said, "First of all, congratulations to Lu Yiming for being elected as the president of the Fu Ri University Model Aircraft Club. I will stay in the position of vice president for a while. Next, I have something to announce. I believe you all know about the city's college model aircraft competition. This is a grand event in our Zhonghai model aircraft circle. The relevant departments also want to encourage everyone to persist in innovation and show the style of the times through such activities."
"Model aircraft have been booming in colleges and universities in recent years. In the past few years, our Fu Ri University has been the only one in the field, but now our sister schools have also caught up and are gaining popularity. It will be difficult for us to win the championship. Everyone must work hard to get the trophy and the 30,000 yuan prize money back again!"
Lu Yiming interrupted and said, "Look, I just took over as the president of the model airplane club. If our model airplane club fails to win the championship this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me? I declare that I will take out one million as a special fund for this model airplane competition to upgrade everyone's equipment and strengthen training."
Another million?
Special funds?
When everyone heard this, they were excited, but also a little confused.
The prize money for the champion is only 30,000, and you spend one million to win the championship...what's the point?
