Chapter 168 Progress
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment after hearing Fred's report.
"What do you mean you want to receive money but don't want to do things?" Qin Shaoyan was very annoyed.
Fred was also a little embarrassed, "The other party found this matter a bit troublesome and seemed reluctant."
"Does the other party want money?" Qin Shaoyan asked directly.
"Of course I have." Fred replied simply. "The PR team played golf with him for several hours and lost tens of thousands of dollars to him."
"To receive money, you have to do something. ." Qin Shaoyan was very unhappy, "What's more, this only requires them to show up and act as mascots, and we will do the rest."
"He doesn't want to do it. Then change what you want to do.”
If you don’t change your thoughts, change the people.
“Okay, BOSS.” Fred thought for a while, “I think those people on the Olympic Committee do more things than do less things, and they don’t want to work overtime to do all this extra work.”
"I think it's best for the government to come forward and promote it from a formal level."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for a while, "Facebook will start to create public opinion from tomorrow, and stir up the news first."
"Then let Athens make a corresponding statement, and I will start to do the official work of China."
"Even if the International Olympic Committee can't handle it, in the worst case we will give up on them, and we will do it ourselves Let’s do it.”
“I understand, BOSS.” Fred said another thing, “Our promotion is so big, should we cooperate with some sports brands?”
"Okay." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "You can go and negotiate with those big brands. It's best if you can get them to pay. We can't spend money to promote them."
"Also, remember to give it to me The two brands are reserved for designated clothing partners. "No problem." Fred didn't care about this at all.
Qin Shaoyan is the major shareholder. Not to mention appointing two, there is no problem in appointing twenty.
Facebook soon began to build momentum in public opinion, announcing that it would conduct public welfare activities for the Olympic Movement around the world.
Several local congressmen in Los Angeles immediately responded, publicly praising and supporting Facebook's public welfare activities, and declared that they would actively promote government support.
Seeing that the atmosphere was already rising, Qin Shaoyan immediately called Zhang Wanli.
"Leader Zhang, good news." Qin Shaoyan said happily.
Zhang Wanli quickly reacted, "Is there any progress regarding the international marathon?"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said happily, "Facebook has entered the preparatory stage. Public opinion is being built in the US media, and Los Angeles officials have agreed to support it, and the two sides are currently negotiating details.”
"Athens officials have also expressed support and will make a public statement at the appropriate time."
"The International Olympic Committee has also made progress, but they are more cautious, suggesting that it is best for us to use official channels."
Zhang Wanli pondered for a few seconds, "The leaders also held a meeting to study it. They are quite satisfied with your plan and have expressed support for the publicity work."
"Since the officials in Los Angeles and Athens have supported it, , there won’t be any problems on the domestic side.”
“I have a meeting in the morning, and I will go over to learn more about the situation with you in the afternoon.”
"Okay, Leader Zhang." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Then I'll prepare some materials."
Zhang Wanli suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, have you told anyone else in the administrative agency about this matter?"

Qin Shaoyan was stunned and quickly replied: "No, I only know you. I am not familiar with anyone else and have never been in contact with him."
"Yeah." Zhang Wanli was silent for a moment. , "Mr. Qin, I have a few words to tell you in a private capacity."
"Brother Zhang, you tell me." Qin Shaoyan said immediately.
"..." Zhang Wanli coughed, "First point, don't publicize the fact that you are a major shareholder of Facebook. Keep a low profile."
"Second point, seek truth from facts and act within your capabilities."
“This public welfare activity should be done within the scope of our ability. Don’t blindly expand the project content for the sake of great success.”
“The third point is this official cooperation. The scope is limited to the public welfare activities themselves. Don’t take the opportunity to do anything in the official name.”
“If I find that you are using the official name to go around and make illegal profits, I will deal with it seriously once it is verified. .”
"Brother Zhang, I am an honest man!" Qin Shaoyan said very aggrievedly. "You can ask, I am a timid person and would never dare to do anything illegal."
"The purpose of my international marathon this time is just for publicity and public welfare. "Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "Nothing else."
"That's fine," Zhang Wanli said and hung up.
Qin Shaoyan put down the phone and thought about Zhang Wanli's words, finding them very interesting.
The warning in the third sentence seems severe, but it is just a normal beating. Without this sentence, there would be a problem.
Zhang Wanli and Qin Shaoyan are not familiar with each other. They have never dealt with each other before, so they naturally have to be cautious when they cooperate for the first time, fearing that someone will dig a hole for him.
If Qin Shaoyan tried to use the official name to deceive others, Zhang Wanli would also be at risk of being implicated.
But Zhang Wanli’s first two are more interesting.
He was probably afraid that some people would forcefully increase the cost and put unrealistic demands on Qin Shaoyan in order to gain political achievements, and in the end the project would be unfinished.
This kind of thing happens all the time. For example, during a certain period of time, various places were keen on building high-rise buildings and blindly pursued the title of No. 1 in Asia and No. 1 in the world.
Zhang Wanli is probably afraid that Qin Shaoyan will be instigated by some people to increase the intensity of the marathon and not be able to complete it.
However, Qin Shaoyan has already had countermeasures for this kind of thing. He just needs to blame the whole thing on the United States.
After all, the money is provided by the Americans. As long as Fred or Taylor disagrees, it will be useless no matter how hard you try to cause trouble.
……
It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Wanli arrived late.
Unlike last time, there was another car behind his car. The door opened and three people got out.
The first one, who was in his thirties or nearly forty, greeted Zhang Wanli with a smile as soon as he got off the car.
"Director Zhang." The other party walked up to Zhang Wanli enthusiastically, took his hand with both hands and shook it, "I have to trouble you to go there in person."
"Hao Chu You're welcome." Zhang Wanli greeted with a smile, "I'm just a handyman, running errands for you."
"What you said really upset me." Director Hao waved his hands repeatedly and responded with a smile, "How dare we ask you to run errands? You are overqualified for it."
"It's all work, what are you doing? It’s the same.”
Director Hao said with a smile, “Well, grassroots work is not as easy as in the National Development and Reform Commission.” Zhang Wanli smiled, then changed the subject, "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Qin from the campus network, Qin Shaoyan."
"This is Director Hao Zhiqiang of the Olympic Organizing Committee."
"Hello, Director Hao." Qin Shaoyan stepped forward with a smile and shook hands, "Welcome the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee to come to our company to inspect and guide our work."
"Mr. Qin is joking, what about inspecting and guiding me? But I can’t afford it.” Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile, “Let’s work together sincerely and do a good job.”
“Let’s go up first and talk about it later,” Zhang Wanli interrupted.
"No hurry, no hurry." Hao Zhiqiang raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There are still people who haven't arrived yet."
Zhang Wanli's expression remained unchanged and he glanced at Qin Shaoyan.
Qin Shaoyan was startled, what are you looking at me for?
At this time, an Audi car drove up from a distance and slowly stopped at the door.
The passenger door opened, and a young man in his twenties got out. He hurried to the back and opened the door.
Subsequently, a middle-aged man in his forties with a majestic face got out of the car.
Hao Zhiqiang smiled and greeted him, "Director Fan, hello, hello."
Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised and looked at Zhang Wanli.
Which song is this from?
But Zhang Wanli's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
