Hello 1983

  Chapter 701 Our principle is that there is no upper limit

  Chinatown Liu Ji Chinese Restaurant, four dishes on the table: mapo tofu, braised pork, three kinds of steamed buns, and a braised fish.

  Xiao Zihou poured the braised pork, including the meat and the soup, on the rice, then shoveled it into his mouth, and praised indistinctly:

   "Well, enjoyable, or the food here is in line with our taste!"

   After finishing speaking, he motioned to the classmates beside him: "Xiao Zhao, hurry up and eat!"

  This student Xiao Zhao, who is a few years younger than Lao Xiao, is also an international student from Huaqing. He is a little shy. He nodded to Liu Qingshan opposite him, and then moved his chopsticks.

  Xiao Zhao was found by Lao Xiao, who said that he is a reliable person, and he can manage the aid association with him.

   The three of them ate and chatted, and they drew up a rough idea of ​​the association's constitution.

  The scope of funding is mainly concentrated in a few big cities, all of whom are international students. As long as you ask about the basic situation, you will know the general situation. This cannot be fooled.

  The rest is the amount of funding. In fact, it doesn’t take much. With the current level of frugality of Huaxia international students, a few thousand dollars or 10,000 dollars can help them complete their studies smoothly.

  The international students at this moment, because the country as a whole is not rich, so most of them endure hardships and stand hard work.

   When he was full, Lao Xiao burped in satisfaction: "Haha, I've been here for a year, and I just had a full meal today, Qingshan, thank you."

  That Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, just smiled at Liu Qingshan, but the expression on his face was similar.

  The little guy brought a pot of tea, and Liu Qingshan poured three cups: "I also know the situation of the two of you. Let's start with our own people."

ah?

  The two of them were taken aback for a moment. They really never thought that they would become the first batch of beneficiaries.

  Liu Qingshan also took a sip of tea: "It should be enough to spend the time working in the restaurant on the management assistantship, and it will not affect your studies."

  The intention of him becoming this organization is very simple, to help as many international students as possible, so that they can return to their motherland to work after they complete their studies.

  Of course, it would be even better if he could go to the company under Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan knows that with the deepening of reform and development, talents will become a key factor. He needs to make arrangements early and accumulate enough contacts.

  Talents and connections are the foundation of future career development.

   "Mr. Liu, thank you for your generosity." Xiao Zhao got up and bowed, his eyes were already a little red from excitement.

   Lao Xiao is not hypocritical, but in his heart, he has already regarded the matter of helping the academy as his career.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand and told Xiao Zhao to sit down: "Each of you can receive a stipend of 10,000 US dollars. My suggestion is to divide it into two, 5,000 US dollars per year."

   Well, the two nodded.

   "Then the cost of contacting international students in other cities, including telephone charges, transportation expenses and accommodation expenses, will be fully reimbursed."

  Mmm, the two continued to nod their heads, and now they have no worries at all.

   "I will hand over this matter to my second sister, Liu Yinfeng, to carry out supervision and review as well as the distribution of funds. You should contact her when the time comes."

  Old Xiao and Xiao Zhao have no objection to this. After all, they have not been in contact with Liu Qingshan for a long time, and they are already very satisfied with the current level of trust.

   "Qingshan, although our aid society is a non-governmental organization, shouldn't it have a name?"

  Old Xiao feels that when contacting other international students in the future, he must give a name.

   "Just call it Longteng Assistant Academy." Liu Qingshan saves trouble, and likes to directly use the name of Longteng for everything.

  Old Xiao clapped his hands and applauded: "Hi Long Teng, our Chinese totem is a dragon."

   And Xiao Zhao is now gradually letting go: "Mr. Liu, how much money is planned to be donated by our Longteng Society, so that we can screen it?"

  Liu Qingshan looked at him with a smile: "Funds, our principle is that there is no upper limit."

   "In the early stage, I will invest five million U.S. dollars in the Longteng Aid Society, and after I use it up, I will continue to increase."

How many? five million!

  Xiao Zhao was a little scared by this number.

   While Lao Xiao was drinking tea, he even sprayed out a sip of tea.

   What shocked Lao Xiao even more was that there was no upper limit. This little fellow is really powerful.

  You know, at the moment, we don’t want to think that in 1978, at the beginning of the reform, the first batch of international students sent to the United States was only fifty-two.

  With the rise of the tide of studying abroad in China, there are currently more than 40,000 international students here.

  Even if 10% of them need funding, there are still 4,000 terrifying people, and tens of millions of dollars will go out!

   And this is not the end, every year there will be an influx of new international students.

  After being shocked, Lao Xiao and Xiao Zhao looked at Liu Qingshan with even stronger respect:

   What kind of mind is this to have such a big deal?

  The two of them only now feel that they will have tens of millions of funds in their hands.

  Thinking about this number, I feel a lot of pressure.

   "Okay, both of you, I'll leave it up to you about Longteng's assisted learning. This is my second sister's contact information."

  Liu Qingshan handed Lao Xiao a small note, indicating that they can start working now.

  The two sides separated in Chinatown. Lao Xiao and Xiao Zhao started a new journey with excitement and anxiety.

  Looking at the backs of the two people disappearing from sight, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingshan's mouth unconsciously.

   This matter was decided after he thought it over, and he thought it was meaningful, so he did it.

  Compared with the money paid now, the value created by these talents in the future is truly inestimable.

  In this era, most people know how to be grateful. Even if only one-tenth of the people who have been funded by the Longteng Society will join his company in the future, what will the result be?

   Liu Qingshan is really looking forward to that day.

  After finishing the calculation, Liu Qingshan had just left the store when he met a group of people who were about to enter the restaurant.

  When the two sides met each other, they were all taken aback, it was Young Master Li and his group.

  Besides, there is another guy Liu Qingshan knows: Wang Lie.

   Now that Wang Lie is the president of the family computer company, he is proud of himself. Even if he encounters some difficulties temporarily, Wang Lie doesn't take it to heart at all.

  His family is very well-connected in the Chinese circle here, and has many connections with Hong Kong Island. As the host, it is natural to entertain Li Dashao and others.

   Moreover, these people have similar family backgrounds, so it is normal for them to mix together.

   "Brother Qingshan, why are you alone, why don't you just hang out at the bar alone?"

   Young Master Li is now full of ambitions. He came here and felt the public opinion environment. He felt that his chances of winning were greater.

  Because the media here also unanimously bad-mouthed this new movie of Hurricane Films.

  Many professionals have published articles in newspapers, saying that it is not bad to pay back their books.

  Liu Qingshan didn't argue with them, just nodded with a smile, and left straight away. There was a burst of wanton laughter behind him.

  Wang Lie looked at Liu Qingshan's back, his eyes were full of disdain:

   "This kind of jumping clown will not be able to jump around for a few days. Everyone, please, let's get drunk today and wait for the good news of victory."

  Liu Qingshan is also looking forward to the good news of victory. Two days later, "Home Alone" will be officially released.

  …

  July 23rd, the tenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, should be opened for business.

   After dinner, Liu Qingshan set off from the apartment to a well-known cinema in Los Angeles.

  Grace was driving, and in the car were Liu Qingshan, Liu Yinfeng, and Du Jiaxing who was in high spirits.

   As for the premiere or something, there is none at all.

   Parked the car at the place, and waited at the door for a while, and the agreed people arrived one after another.

  Chambers of Hurricane Film and Television even accompanied Ovitz, the president of CAA, to come together.

  Ovitz is now a big shot, holding nearly half of the big stars in the country, but he is still very polite to Liu Qingshan, because the status of both parties is equal.

   "Liu, nice to meet you, I wish you can achieve that small goal."

  After the hug, Ovitz also made a joke with Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan was also very helpless, the group of media was too unscrupulous, and they just hyped up the small goal of 100 million US dollars for him.

  So Liu Qingshan also smiled and said: "Mr. Ovitz, this is also your small goal, isn't it?"

  The two looked at each other and laughed. Although they also made a bet, it was a win-win game. The higher the box office, the more powerful it would be for both parties.

  So at this point, only when they have the same interest relationship can they come together.

   Hurricane Film and Television really came to a lot of people, like the four-member Hurricane Girls, who were also present.

   There is also Xiao Li, who also leads Huo Boss, Pan Mingpai and others. These guys are a bit like-minded, laughing and laughing together, and even bought a lot of popcorn flowers, and distributed them to everyone one by one.

  Jia Kui and his four boys were also present, but their faces were a little dignified, apparently worried about Liu Qingshan.

  As for Lao Cui and Sister Zhang, they all went to South Korea because of the Olympic Games. It is estimated that there were some rehearsals.

  Basically, there were only these people, and they entered the theater together. Chambers asked the employees to buy movie tickets, and said with a smile: "We also want to make some contributions to the box office."

   "Mr. Ovitz, isn't this a violation?"

  The fare is okay, $4 for adults and half for children.

   This price should be considered relatively cheap. The cinemas in the United States are more developed, so relatively speaking, movie tickets are not expensive.

   Together, we came to the No. 3 screening hall. These people didn't go to the box or anything, they just took the most ordinary seats, and they were the most ordinary audience.

  When the movie started to show, the situation was not very optimistic, because the attendance rate was only 30 to 40%, and most of the seats were empty.

  Liu Qingshan observed more carefully. The audience present are basically two adults leading one or two children.

  In fact, this is the advantage of children's movies. One child usually has to be delivered to two adults.

  During the film screening, the happy laughter of children can be heard from time to time in the theater.

  Especially when the little protagonist is fighting the stupid thief, the plot is very interesting, and the children laugh happily.

  It’s like Du Jiaxing, who prepared a big bucket of popcorn, only to find out after the movie was over that he even forgot to eat the popcorn.

   "Brother Biao, it's so fun. This is the best movie I've ever seen. I called my classmates when I got home. These guys don't give me face and don't go to the movie."

  Du Jiaxing's little face was flushed with excitement, and he kept talking there.

  Liu Qingshan found an interesting phenomenon, the movie was over, but those kids were reluctant to leave, they got together in small groups, making gestures and discussing the plot in the movie.

  Du Jiaxing also leaned forward: "Guys, don't you want to buy a pinball gun too, pop, snap, snap!"

  He gestured for a pistol with his hand, facing a little boy with some freckles on his face, who was still lying on a chair very cooperatively, with his legs straight.

   "I think the idea of ​​the flower pot falling from the sky is better, I want to try it at home." Another little black boy said.

  A little girl like a doll also waved her arms excitedly: "I think it's most interesting to sprinkle water on the stairs to freeze them into ice, but unfortunately, we rarely freeze in winter here."

   A group of little ones are discussing happily here, but the adults next to them are starting to have a headache. What if the house is messed up?

   "Children, haven't you learned to be brave after watching this movie?"

   Grace leaned forward, squatted down, and looked at these little guys.

  Du Jiaxing immediately clenched his fists and said a line from the movie: "Yes, they can't hit me in my house, because this is my home!"

  The little black boy also blinked his black and white eyes: "I, I will start from today, and I will never ask my mother to accompany me when I go to the bathroom at night."

   Grace also shook her small fist: "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of in the dark. As long as you have the courage to take the first step, no matter how difficult you encounter later, you will not be afraid."

   Immediately afterwards, these little ones began to compete one by one for being braver. It sounded like a bit of bragging, childish and funny.

   Grace also turned into a task, stood up and walked back, and gestured an OK gesture to Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan blinked: Does this place also pay attention to ideological education?

   "Children, the next game is about to start." A staff member came to clear the scene.

   It turned out that there were really a dozen little guys, and they had to buy a ticket to watch it again, so a second brush came directly.

  Du Jiaxing hadn’t watched it enough yet, and didn’t want to leave, but Liu Qingshan resisted him in the end.

  The little black boy and the little girl followed suit and were carried out of the screening hall by their parents.

  Crack, click, a flash was on, and this photo appeared in the next day's newspaper with the title: Disobedient kid.

  In the newspapers, all kinds of news and comments are flying all over the sky:

  Many film critics criticized this movie as useless.

   Liu Qingshan didn't bother to talk to this kind of expert: Okay, it's not adults who have the final say, but children who have the final say.

  Some people even criticized: This kind of movie will teach children badly.

  But when a little black boy was interviewed, he said that he drove someone to the toilet at night, and the sound disappeared.

  At this time, because the technology is relatively backward, the box office of the first day was not counted until three days later: a little more than 560,000 US dollars.

  And a striking headline immediately appeared on the Los Angeles Times: "How far is the ridiculous kid from the small goal of 100 million dollars?".
