Chapter 87
that it could casually expel a quasi-billionaire.
Such a person would usually be cherished by a school.
If one ever appeared, they would absolutely be the school's best alumnus.
However, Shanghai University of Engineering Science pushed the billionaire away directly.
Of course, many Shanghai people also learned from the newspaper that there was a young man named Lin Yi in Shanghai who was very capable.
Not long after starting his business, the company was already valued at 1 billion.
So much money that even 99% of Shanghai people had never seen it.
And next, Sina and NetEase reported Lin Yi's news one after another.
These news reports were much the same, all questioning Shanghai University of Engineering Science.
All of a sudden, Shanghai University of Engineering Science became the target of public criticism by the media.
Many people on the internet said that the school leaders of this university were either idiots or had their heads stepped on by chickens when they were young.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to do something as retarded as expelling Lin Yi.
And for a school where the leaders were like this,
did you really have a future if you got admitted?
The news swept the entire internet at the speed of light, and soon became a hot search on major platforms.
Then it turned into "1 billion net worth boss, tragically expelled by school!"
The spearhead pointed directly at a certain university.
Many netizens left comments:
"I don't have a net worth of 1 billion; if I go there, will I not see tomorrow's sun!"
"Haha, I would like to call you the most bizarre school of the year, bar none!"
"Whether a school expels someone or not, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how much money they have, right!"
"I agree with this, but this Boss Lin from the Engineering Institute didn't do anything illegal or undisciplined; he just skipped classes to start a business.
To be expelled for this... I can only say a big 'I admire you' to the school leaders of the Engineering Institute."
Wei Ming, as the president of Shanghai University of Engineering Science.
Was still very busy all day; on one hand, he had to worry about the school's employment,
and on the other hand, he also hoped that the school would run better and better under his hands,
so even as the president, he was very strict with himself every day.
Today, he was preparing to attend the weekly meeting of school leaders as usual.
To discuss recent teaching problems in the school, as well as corporate docking.
In the hope of improving the school's employment rate in the next semester.
After all, there were only so many good companies in society now, and there were so many universities in all of Shanghai.
Good corporate positions were basically divided up by key universities like Fudan and Jiaotong.
What was left for the University of Engineering Science was very little.
Therefore, usually when a batch of students just entered their senior year, the school would dock with enterprises.
To put it simply, it was to arrange internships and campus recruitment fairs.
However, today, just as President Wei wanted to walk out of the office.
He saw the director of the school's network management department running over in a panic and saying to him:
"President, it's not good... there is negative news about our school everywhere on the internet!"
"Negative news?" President Wei was shocked; he feared this the most.
Because negative news was a serious damage to a school's reputation.
If not handled well, not only would he be blamed by higher-level departments,
but the school could also suffer a decline in application rates and employment rates due to the negative news.
That would be a huge loss.
Usually, in such situations, the school also had a specialized public relations department.
However, if even the network management department was helpless, then they could only come to him, the president.
"Has anything happened in the school recently?" President Wei asked.
As a result, the network director directly took out his mobile phone, and the number one hot topic on Sina Weibo was:
"1 billion net worth boss, tragically expelled by school"
President Wei only took one look, and his eyeballs were about to pop out.
His face flushed with blood, and with a bang, he slammed his fist on the desk and shouted angrily:
"Who, who did this....!"
Instantly, the person in charge of network affairs stopped talking.
"Investigate, investigate for me, and immediately withdraw the school's expulsion notice. For an excellent student like Lin Yi,
not only can we not punish him, but we must also give him an award!"
President Wei ordered directly.
It is said that on that day at the school leadership meeting, this president was furious.
Stating that no matter who was involved in this matter, it must be handled strictly and severely.
This was clearly a rhythm of someone needing to be the scapegoat.
And on Lin Yi's side, he was also happy and painful.
The company's reception phone rang non-stop, 24 hours a day.
The newly hired customer service lady was constantly enduring a phone bombardment.
And all the calls were inquiries about Fengyi Tech's new battery: when could the battery be sold, and what was the pricing.
Regarding this, the customer service lady gave an answer: rely on the announcement time on the official website.
At this time, in the conference room of Fengyi Tech,
Lin Yi was receiving Huawei executive Yu Dong.
After Ren Zhengfei of Huawei asked Yu Dong to pay attention to Fengyi Tech, this right-hand man of Ren Zhengfei, the President of the Strategy and Marketing System,
immediately came from Pengcheng to Fengyi Tech in Shanghai.
On one hand, he was here following Old Ren's orders.
On the other hand, he was also here to inspect Fengyi Tech on-site to see if it was as the internet claimed,
and whether the new lithium battery could join Huawei's supply chain system.
To be honest, when he saw Fengyi Tech's company in the Songjiang Entrepreneurship Center, Yu Dong was a bit disappointed.
After all, this was just a newly started company.
But when the two sides made contact.
The boss of Fengyi Tech, Lin Yi, took him to the R&D center and showed him the samples of the new battery.
Watching the battery test.
The Huawei experts who came with Yu Dong were all too surprised to speak.
Especially regarding the most important safety aspect of mobile phone batteries.
The cobalt-free solid-state battery showed exciting performance.
Next, in terms of battery capacity, charging and discharging speed, power loss, etc., the performance of the new battery deeply convinced Old Yu.
Now Old Yu was most concerned about the sales price and production capacity of Fengyi Tech's new battery.
In the conference room, the personnel from both sides sat together.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Old Yu got straight to the point:
"I wonder if Boss Lin's Fengyi Tech accepts Huawei's financing!"
"Financing! Does Huawei also engage in VC?"
Lin Yi was a bit surprised.
However, Yu Dong shook his head and said:
"We at Huawei are a tech enterprise and do not engage in venture capital,
but in order to ensure the stability of the supply chain, we will also invest in supply chain companies..."
Hearing him say this, Lin Yi suddenly realized, and then said apologetically:
"Sorry, President Yu, Fengyi Tech doesn't have the idea of accepting financing yet....!"
