"Really?"
Kaede Island Keiko looked at Chen Feng in astonishment.
Last night, her family, including the Kaede Island Corporation's think tank, had discussed it all night, but achieved nothing. Could Chen Feng figure it out alone?
"Of course it's true. You think highly of me and plan to invest in the new energy vehicle project in the town where I work, so I will naturally go all out to remove all obstacles for Kaede Island Corporation."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Chen Feng, I trust your character completely, otherwise, I wouldn't be so close to you. But the problem is, human character alone cannot solve the problem of new energy battery production. It requires solid technology, and not just any ordinary technology."
Kaede Island Keiko explained earnestly.
"So, I plan to go to the Capital University and have Capital University establish a Sino-foreign cooperative college in Mingshan Town. That way, the problem will be solved."
Chen Feng continued to reply calmly.
"Capital University? China's number one university? If a branch campus can really be established in Mingshan Town, then the talent problem will truly be solved, and we can cooperate between the school and the enterprise."
Kaede Island Keiko said excitedly.
"Miss Kaede Island, you truly are the eldest daughter of Kaede Island Corporation, possessing business acumen from a young age. The reason I plan to have Capital University open a Sino-foreign cooperative branch in Mingshan Town is precisely for school-enterprise cooperation. School-enterprise cooperation is the most effective way to materialize scientific research!"
Chen Feng nodded slightly and replied.
"The idea is good, but I feel it will be very difficult to implement. Capital University is not an ordinary school. Would it be willing to establish a Sino-foreign cooperative branch in such a small town as Mingshan Town?"
Kaede Island Keiko asked with doubt.
"The difficulty will definitely be great, but human effort can achieve anything. As long as there is an idea, it can always be figured out. How about this, once I land, you go to Mingshan Town and settle into the hotel, and I will go to the Capital to get this matter done quickly."
Chen Feng arranged methodically.
This time, whether the large investment in new energy vehicles can be settled in Mingshan Town depends on whether Capital University can be persuaded.
If it can be persuaded, then the new energy vehicle project will be a sure thing.
However, if it cannot be persuaded, the new energy project will likely be unstable.
There's no other way; the new energy vehicle project with high profits is a high-tech project, and you can't fool people when it comes to talent.
"So soon?"
Kaede Island Keiko was stunned for a moment.
"Speed is of the essence. Many cities in China must know about Kaede Island Corporation's major investment this time. If I don't act quickly, it will be easy for other cities to poach the talent."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
Kaede Island Keiko deeply agreed with what Chen Feng said.
The marketplace is a battlefield, and speed is crucial.
In that case, she would not play the game of man and woman with Chen Feng on the plane.
Originally, Kaede Island Keiko had planned to take advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders on the chartered plane to have a good time. However, now that Chen Feng had to rush off to work immediately after landing, if they had a good time on the plane, how could Chen Feng have the energy to do serious business?
Thus, as soon as Chen Feng landed, he called Cheng Lu and asked her to go to the Capital with him.
It was a layover at the airport.
"Chen Feng, why are you suddenly asking me to go to the Capital with you? Do you feel that this woman, Kaede Island Keiko, is not as good as you imagined? I think Japanese women are really not as good as Chinese women."
Cheng Lu asked excitedly.
"Miss Cheng, you are mistaken. This has nothing to do with Kaede Island Keiko. I just want to take you to visit Capital University. You are an alumnus of Capital University, and your introduction would be very helpful."
Chen Feng replied frankly.
"What? You're not responsible for Kaede Island Corporation's new energy vehicle project? What are you going to Capital University for?"
Cheng Lu asked with confusion.
Chen Feng did not hide anything and directly explained the matter of battery production to Cheng Lu.
"What? You want Capital University to establish a Sino-foreign cooperative branch in Mingshan Town?"
Cheng Lu was stunned.
"Are there any problems?"
Chen Feng asked back with a faint smile.
"Chen Feng, this is not a question of whether there are problems or not, this is an impossible matter. Think about it, Capital University, a prestigious university in China and a world-renowned university, why would it establish a Sino-foreign cooperative branch in such a small place as Mingshan Town? To be honest, let alone Mingshan Town, they wouldn't even look at the provincial capital. What I mean is, don't have too much hope for this trip to the Capital."
Cheng Lu explained seriously.
"There will definitely be difficulties, but I am confident I can persuade the president of Capital University."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"There's no other way but to try,"
Cheng Lu sighed deeply.
She was still very happy earlier, with such a large investment from Kaede Island Corporation settling in Mingshan Town, but unexpectedly, they also had to build a branch campus of Capital University in Mingshan Town, which meant it was impossible.
Alas, it's really difficult to accomplish anything in the officialdom.
However, from another perspective, it is also a great opportunity to test Chen Feng.
In Chen Feng's words, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, one must not give up.
If the Capital University branch campus in Mingshan Town were to be built, Chen Feng would definitely become famous.
Under Cheng Lu's familiar introduction, Chen Feng quickly met with the president of Capital University.
To avoid awkwardness, Cheng Lu did not go in and waited outside.
"President Zhang, what do you think about establishing a Sino-foreign cooperative branch of Capital University in Mingshan Town?"
Chen Feng asked directly.
"Four words: wishful thinking. Vice Mayor Chen, to be honest, if it weren't for Cheng Lu's sake, I wouldn't have met you at all. Secondly, do you know how many major cities come to me to discuss cooperative education every year? I don't agree with them, so why would I agree to Mingshan Town? Do you think I've lost my mind?"
President Zhang questioned coldly.
"President Zhang, you can't say that. On the surface, establishing a Sino-foreign branch of Capital University in Mingshan Town is utterly absurd. However, I believe that establishing a Sino-foreign cooperative branch of Capital University in Mingshan Town has many benefits."
Chen Feng explained neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Oh, tell me about it. Let's see what benefits there are."
President Zhang sneered.
"First, if Capital University establishes a Sino-foreign cooperative branch in Mingshan Town, not only will there be no construction fees, but Capital University will also receive billions in fixed corporate scholarships annually."
"Capital University has billions in fixed scholarships every year? Vice Mayor Chen, do you think corporations are fools? Donating so much money every year?"
President Zhang was slightly moved.
"General corporations indeed would not. Nowadays, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat. However, Kaede Island Corporation's new energy vehicle project definitely will. President Zhang, as the president of Capital University, you should know that in the next few decades, new energy vehicles will definitely be the hottest industry. Moreover, the profits are extremely high. Kaede Island Corporation is definitely willing to donate billions to set up scholarships, which is a charity that brings both fame and profit."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"That's interesting, continue."
The arrogance in President Zhang's eyebrows slowly dissipated...
