Chapter 625 Sponsored
Ma Lu came back from the mental hospital and took advantage of the effects of the medicine to sleep until the next morning.
When I woke up and turned on my phone, I found that there were more than a dozen unread messages.
They come from An Qi, Zhen Ye, Han Feifei and Wandering Warlock. They are all very interested in bathing.
Han Feifei was the most positive among them. She also said that if there was nothing to do at school today, she could come over to the restaurant to help, and they would go out together after that.
Malu couldn't help scratching his head after seeing this information. He originally just wanted to find a partner, but he didn't expect so many people to be free.
What the hell, don’t these people work?
But in the end he came up with a solution, staggering the time of the four of them, so that they could take one bath every day.
It takes just four days to complete the bath, and different bathhouse styles can be arranged according to everyone's preferences.
The disadvantage is that I am a bit useless. Although taking a bath can relax me, taking a bath every day is quite tiring.
And in order to cover up the fact that his bathhouse can be carried with him, Malu had to find another place outside, put a refrigerator magnet on the door, and then drive around in a pretense.
The only consolation is probably seeing a bikini.
So Malu spent this week opening a shop and taking a bath.
In addition, he kept his word and even took the time to subscribe to "The Ancient Emperor Begins from Breaking Off the Engagement".
But I couldn’t finish the free part because it was too bad.
When he returned to Houde, Malu was gearing up and was planning to lead the team to Qian Guoguang Hall.
As a result, Cao Youyi informed that last week’s challenge application to Guoguang was not approved.
“Why?”
“Because we were challenged before this.” Li Zhengwei, wearing a coat, said.
Ma Lu was surprised, "Who among the schools ranked behind dares to challenge us? Could it be that Lingnan was unconvinced when it lost last time and wanted to regain its place? But I remember that the losing side has been in the competition within two months. You can’t challenge me anymore.”
"That's right, so the one who challenges us this time is Xia Yin, who is ranked 89th." Cao Youyi said.
"Huh? Is it okay if the top-ranked school challenges the bottom-ranked school?" Ma Lu asked.
“The reforms introduced by the Ministry of Education aim to promote competition and exchanges between schools. Usually, lower-ranked schools challenge the higher-ranked schools.
“Won If so, the two sides can exchange rankings, but the school in front is not prohibited from challenging the school behind. "Cao Youyi said.
"Maybe it's because I feel that no one will do such an obviously useless thing. ”
"This is indeed not good for Xiayin, but it is bad for us, because if we lose, we will not be able to challenge other schools in the next two months." Li Zhengwei continued.
"To put it bluntly, Mingxia Group wants to use this method to prevent our ranking from continuing to rise." Ma Lu said, "Tsk, tsk, it seems that our victory over Lingnan last week made some people restless. "
"Indeed," Cao Youyi said, "your victory over the Church's Lingnan Education College last week has now spread in Pingcheng. The Pingcheng Daily is sold out, and it costs 2 cents a copy. The newspaper has now been sold to 1.4 yuan.”
Qi Baichuan, who is in charge of business, also said, “This battle has completely established the reputation of our school. Before, I went outside to solicit sponsorship and discuss cooperation with most companies. They all ignored me. "Now I receive no less than ten calls every day. They all come to discuss cooperation, saying that our school's vigorous spirit fits well with their brand image.
"I have screened and negotiated four cooperation letters, and I am just waiting for your confirmation and signature." Qi Baichuan said as he handed the document in his arms to Ma Lu.
Ma Lu rummaged around and found that there was a match factory, a department store, a textile factory and a coal mine, all of which were local industries in Pingcheng.
Ma Lu first put aside the cooperation letter from the coal mine, "I don't want this. There is no need for the coal mine to cooperate with us."
The industry in this plane is developing rapidly. , various factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the demand for coal has been growing, so there is no need to worry about selling the coal dug out of the mines.
There is no need to cooperate with the school for publicity. In addition, Ma Lu is also skeptical about the integrity of the mine boss. He does not hope that the cooperative relationship between the two parties will have any negative impact on Houde.
Qi Baichuan nodded, "I think so too, but I think it is necessary for you to take a look at this cooperation letter, because Siping Coal Mine is actually the property of the Salt Gang."
"That may not be accurate. "The situation in Siping Coal Mine is relatively complicated," Cao Youyi, as a local, knows more about Siping Coal Mine, added.
“There are many shareholders of Siping Coal Mine, some of them are local wealthy gentry in Pingcheng, including the current mayor of Pingcheng, and the police chief have shares in it, but the one with the largest shares is the Kong family of the four major families in Xindu. .
"They hold about 30% of the shares. In addition, the Minister of Transportation, the Director of the Mine Supervision Agency, and many senior officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Military Affairs also hold shares.
“As for the Salt Gang, they are mainly responsible for maintaining order in the mine and dealing with troublemakers. Well, they can also be regarded as one of the actual managers of the Siping Coal Mine.”
"So this cooperation document was their idea?" Malu raised his eyebrows.
“It should be right.” Qi Baichuan said, “The person who came to see me this time is Gao Feng, the deputy gang leader of the Salt Gang.
“ Gao Feng was very generous and offered 4,000 oceans in one breath. The sponsorship fee, without any additional requirements, is basically given to us for free. "
"It seems that they are paying for the previous conflict and want to use the money to repair their relationship with us. "Cao Youyi analyzed.
"Oh, you are talking about the time when the Railway Bank came to collect debts and planned to use the school building as a loan to the Salt Gang to open an opium den. "Ma Lu also remembered.
"Anyway, it's either them or the Railway Bank, which has an affair with the Mingxia Group. But having said that, isn't it necessary for them to change their attitude towards us so quickly after winning Lingnan?"
"This is also me. "Cao Youyi said, "With the forces behind the Yan Gang and Siping Coal Mine, there is no need to care too much about Yi Yi. It’s a Talisman Master School, and it’s a Talisman Master School that didn’t get into the top 100.”
“Well, no matter what, it’s always a good thing if someone gives us money. Since they have no requirements for us, there’s no need to worry. They will be harmed by their reputation. Let's just accept the four thousand yuan. It just so happens that the school has been spending a lot of money recently," Ma Lu said.
After that, he looked through three other cooperation letters. Their offers were not as generous as those of Siping Coal Mine, but the minimum sponsorship fee was 1,400 yuan.
The most generous thing is that the match factory, in addition to the sponsorship fee of 1,600 yuan, is also willing to give 1% of the sales to Houde, on the condition that the principal, Malu, can be their spokesperson.
The match factory would also print his photo on the matchbox.
The education industry, burning yourself and illuminating others, does go well with matches.
