Chapter 35 Yuewen and Yang
The Yowen and Yang Institute of Arts, Technology and Innovative Industries of the University of Southern California, referred to as IYA, is the youngest of the [-] colleges of the University of Southern California and the most modern academic spirit.

In 2013, music industry tycoon Jimmy Jovin and hip-hop legend Andre Yang, also known as the famous Dr. Dre, jointly donated 7000 million US dollars to establish the academy. IYA's program structure is highly interdisciplinary, with courses incorporating elements from design, engineering, business and art.The hired professors and guest lecturers are also experts from different fields such as music, film, design, engineering and business, aiming to train students to be the mainstay of the innovative industry.

IYA's precise positioning of teaching goals and talent cultivation is part of the reason why Han Yi wants to establish a foundation in this college.Next, the new billionaire will set up a series of companies in different business fields, including music copyright distribution companies, artist management companies, record companies, and even film and television production companies, technology investment companies and art design companies.

Every field needs a large number of professional talents to fill. The middle and high level can quickly complete the original accumulation by poaching talents from peers, but the basic positions and the future development of the entire ecological chain must rely on a steady stream of new forces.

Every college of the University of Southern California has a fixed career exit. Needless to say, the Film Academy, whether it is film and television production, film and television screenwriting, interactive media and games, or the film and television soundtrack major jointly run with the Thornton School of Music, graduates Most of the life will be digested by various giants in Hollywood.The Leventhal School of Accounting, ranked fourth in the United States, is a stable source of new recruits for the Big Four accounting firms.The Viterbi School of Engineering has developed rapidly in recent years, known as the world's number one game production major, and it is the best choice for game developers to expand their teams.

IYA has just been established for three years, and has not even completed its own teaching building. It is urgent to cooperate with as many companies as possible to increase the employment rate of graduates, so that the college can truly gain a firm foothold in the USC and even the greater Los Angeles area. Reputation.

Both sides have needs, and the directions are just in line. Once Han Yi buys UTA, Han Yi will become the high-quality partner that IYA dreams of.

Another consideration for Han Yi's choice of IYA is also inseparable from IYA's immaturity.The University of Southern California is a private research university established in 1880. Today, almost all of the school's advantageous projects have fixed donors and have divided their spheres of influence.

Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, as can be seen from its name, is the territory of the Jewish family Annenberg.The Dornsafe College of Arts and Sciences belongs to longtime USC alumni, the Scottish steel family Dornsafe.The title of the Marshall School of Business is Gordon Marshall, an industrialist from the Anglo-Scottish ethnic group.

These academies are not without the talents that Han Yi needs, but the intertwined and complicated relationships make it difficult for the young man to truly exert influence and appeal in a short period of time.The traditional giants that started their businesses are not the resources he needs to cling to in recent years.

IYA, which is still in its infancy, is different. Not only can Han Yi easily become the most generous donor in the history of the college, but he can even have the opportunity to hang his surname on the outer wall of the teaching building, directly becoming a member of Yue Wen, Yang and Han College. maybe.

Of course, these are only two prominent factors in Han Yi's comprehensive judgment.It was the two founders of IYA that really prompted him to make up his mind.

Jimmy Yeowen and Dr.Dre.

Needless to say, Dr. Dre, West Coast rap, and even the entire hip-hop industry can develop to where it is today, thanks to this legendary music producer and outstanding cultural enterprise.Co-founder Jimmy Yovin may not be well-known in the eyes of the public, but his achievements are by no means inferior to Dr. Dre.

In the 1970s, the fledgling Jimmy Iowen worked as a recording engineer with John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen.As a music producer, he became popular in 1978 with the album "Easter" produced by Patty Smith. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and U2 were also created by him, stepping into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .

In 1990, the successful Jimmy Iowen founded Interscope Records, and before the millennium, through a series of successful mergers, it developed into the most powerful force under Universal Music Group, Interscope Geffen A&M.

2Pac, 50 Cent, Eminem, Snoop Dogg in hip-hop, Blink-182, Guns N' Roses, Maroon 5, OneRepublic in rock, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Madonna, Selena Gomez in pop.In addition to the slightly insufficient inventory in the electronic music industry, only DJ Snake, Zedd and Gryffin support the table, in other fields, you only need to throw a few names at random, and you can feel Jimmy Iowen's unshakable influence in the world music industry. status.

Careful people will find that Interscope Geffen A&M and UTA, which Han Yi is about to acquire, overlap in the list of artists.If it was just a simple donation or establishment of a fund, Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iowen might only regard Han Yi as a wealthy young Chinese businessman who is keen on charity.

But what if this rich Chinese is also the core shareholder who controls about 40% of UTA's equity?

With assets worth 2 million US dollars and a mysterious family background, can they earn the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with the two music giants and discuss cooperation in depth?

Building an image, word-of-mouth, and circle has never been a single-dimensional thing. Only a three-dimensional display of one ring and one ring can truly make future partners or acquisition targets look favorably on you and be cautious.

UTA, Wang's family, USC, and IYA, the four diamonds inlaid together only represent a very small part of the industrial crown that Han Yi is about to build.

"My wife and I both firmly believe in the important role of innovative industries in the future world economic growth." Han Yi took Xu Yiru's hand very naturally, "Our preliminary plan is to jointly establish a 1000 million dollar 'IYA' with IYA -HAN Foundation', which provides academic and professional assistance for talents who are interested in joining innovative industries, especially those who come from the same cultural background as me."

The embarrassing expression only appeared for a moment, and Xu Yiru quickly returned to normal, showing a charming smile to Principal Nikias, responding to the words of "husband".

Of course it is clear which is more important, and the hateful guy takes advantage of the opportunity, and will settle the score later.

"Great, the innovation industry is the area that USC will focus on expanding in the next ten years. I believe that the Trojans will work together to create some very interesting new ideas." The investment intention of 1000 million US dollars is not enough for Max -Nikias was surprised, but it was easy to be so happy that there were more than a dozen wrinkles on his face.

Even if someone broke into Nikias' office and waved him a check for $1000 million, telling him to sponsor a certain academy, Nikias would be a little skeptical.But in a luxurious manor like 534 Barnaby Road, facing a Chinese gentleman wearing a Tom Ford tuxedo, and the stunning beauty beside him who transcended aesthetic barriers, and their friendly relationship with the Wang family, Even if there was still uncertainty in Nikias' heart, it didn't have the upper hand at this time.

Alumni who can appear on this occasion, regardless of whether they can reach a donation in the end, it is always right to make friends.

"The dinner party is about to begin. If you don't mind the sound of my chewing, I think we can have dinner together."

"Of course, please go first, Principal Nikias."

"I can't go on acting if I don't hold you?"

Hands were still tightly held by Han Yi, Xu Yiru followed in the footsteps of Max Nikias, there was an imperceptible tremor in her voice, I don't know if it was because of nervousness, excitement or sweetness.

But in terms of expression, the girl didn't let Han Yi see a clue. She clenched her teeth and jumped out word by word.Looking straight ahead with both eyes, he smiled on the surface, looking like he was offended.

"Experience school, experience school." Han Yi knew that he was wrong, and he smiled a little shyly, "Didn't you say that you have never held hands in this life, how do you feel?"

"It's acting, this time it doesn't count!" Xu Yiru pinched the back of Han Yi's hand with his fingernails, but he didn't have the slightest will to break free.

Having said that, if Han Yi wanted to break free, would Han Yi not leave any nail marks on the back of his hand?

"Forget it this time, remember to tell me in advance next time... I'll cooperate with you."

After saying this, Xu Yiru exerted strength herself, clasped her hands even tighter, and gently lifted the hem of her skirt with the other hand, no different from an expensive bride who attended a banquet with her husband.

Madame must have the self-consciousness of a madam.

I also acted.

Xu Yiru did mental construction for herself like this.

The following dinner time was quite enjoyable. Max Nikias was always a talkative person, and Han Yi and Xu Yiru's social skills and emotional intelligence were among the best among their peers. In addition, the cold buffet buffet prepared by Wang and his wife Delicious indeed, from the Iberian ham platter to the assorted sushi, even the simple food looks good enough against the top-notch ingredients.

"Principal Nikias... oh, and Grace and Yi, hello!"

Throughout the open-air dinner, Walter and Shirley kept shuttling between the round tables. They already had a basic picture in mind about the importance of the guests present and the order of conversation.About 10 minutes after the meal was served, the two were escorted by two personal butlers to Han Yi's table.

"Walter." Han Yi stood up, smiling with the enthusiasm and humility of a junior, this was a trick for Max Nikias.

"Xue Li!" Xu Yiru's acting skills were even better, she hugged Xue Li-Wang, and then took the other's hand, "Sit down and rest for a while, I see that your feet must be very painful because you have been standing all the time."

Polite and intimate, even with a little girlishness.

Walter and Shirley got married in 1990, and they have three sons so far, the youngest of which are about the same age as Xu Yiru and Han Yi.Xu Yiru, who looked like a fairy, showed her daughter-like concern, which naturally made Shirley-Wang laugh from ear to ear.

"Thank you, Grace." With Xu Yiru's support, Xue Li sat in the latter's seat, and the nearly ten centimeter high heels really tossed her hard enough.Xue Li lovingly touched Xu Yiru's head, and said in Chinese, "Sensible and obedient, I don't know which mother is so lucky."

"You have won the award." Xu Yiru lowered her eyebrows and continued to play the role of a good girl.

Warm hugs, considerate care, and finally a conversation in the mother tongue.In the eyes of the onlooker Principal Max Nikias, the relationship between Han Yi and Xu Yiru and the Wang couple is indeed quite close.

With the support of the Committee of [-], perhaps Los Angeles will usher in another pair of Chinese-American celebrities standing in the spotlight and speaking on behalf of their communities.

Glad they are from USC.

"It seems that I don't need to introduce the two of them, Principal Nikias." Walter patted Han Yi on the back with a smile.

"Of course not, these two are our outstanding alumni." Max Nikias nodded, not only to give Han Yi the identity of his alma mater, so as to draw closer the relationship between them, He even wanted to have a deeper connection with Walter through Han Yi.Maybe in the future, maybe the Wang family can be dyed red and yellow.

Although the latter is a loyal donor of UCLA, but the professor can dig it, why can't the donor do it?
"In fact, Mr. Han and Ms. Han were still talking to me about the donation just now."

Thinking of this, Principal Nikias asked the question directly.

"They're going to create a $1000 million philanthropic foundation at Jowen & Young College."

"Amazing, Yi!"

On the surface, Walter gave Han Yi a calm look of approval, but he was a little shocked in his heart.

It's one thing to be able to afford a $3000 million mansion, it's one thing to get into USC with good grades, it's another thing to hand over $1000 million to charitable donations.

There are many rich people who spend 3000 million US dollars for their own enjoyment, but what kind of assets should those celebrities who spend 1000 million US dollars to return to society have?With the full escort of USC, how far can such a young successor help his family develop in North America?
Walter supported Han Yi's shoulder, the strength of his palm was not only a little stronger, but also the distance between the two was shortened by an inch.

"Alma mater is the first step for a person to enter the society. No matter what kind of achievements you can achieve in the end, you should be grateful to the initial guide... On this point, you have done a very good job."

"I learned from you. Seeing you and your wife's donation to UCLA and Harvard West Lake, the younger generation also feels sympathy."

Good guy, you two help me attack each other, right?
Feeling the strength coming from his shoulders, Han Yi burst into a smile in his heart. In social occasions, the art of helping and flattering is important. If you want to highlight your identity and status, as well as the strength in line with this circle, just bragging yourself Castles in the air, only the recognition from different perspectives from different speakers is the best proof of personal prestige.

Under the ingenious impetus of Han Yi and Xu Yiru's words of truth but illusory sentences, Chinese celebrities Walter and Shirley-Wang and USC President Nikias not only passed on effective information to enhance their identities, but also learned from each other. After hearing these key conversations, both parties have a judgment and recognition of the young and mysterious Han couple far beyond the actual situation.

This will undoubtedly allow Han Yi's subsequent exchanges with them to proceed smoothly on a broader and unimpeded road.

Thinking of this, Han Yi subconsciously turned his gaze to Xu Yiru.And the girl from Baodao, who was doing homework with Aunt Shirley, was also looking at him with flickering eyes.

Awesome, Yiyi!
Good work, Xiao Xu!

The counterfeit couple who committed the crime looked at each other and smiled.
