Open business day-to-day

Chapter 255 Sponsorship

Lin Rui now has a feeling that if he is now looking for a professional athlete with similar physical fitness as him, the strength and endurance are basically the same as him, and the squat and bench press are stronger than him.

On the surface, it seems that the muscles must be much bigger than Lin Rui, and the physical fitness is stronger than him.

But Lin Rui's powerful viscera, the powerful internal circulation and neural network in his body, combined together, will give people a sense of vitality.

And indeed, professional athletes appear stronger and more muscular.

But compared to the internal functions, background and foundation of the body, Lin Rui is much stronger.

This is why Lin Rui's physical fitness is not too exaggerated, but his mental state is different from ordinary people. He is full of energy and vitality every day.

The main reason is that the internal functions of his body are strong, which allows him to maintain an excellent mental state every day, with sharp senses and extremely flexible brain.

It's just that this kind of thing, other people want to envy, but they can't envy. Without the powerful state blessing of focusing on time, if others want to practice to his level, their beards will have turned gray long ago.

Of course, apart from exercising, he also spends a lot of time reading and studying every day. After all, he still has a task of reading for three hours a day.

In fact, these days, Lin Rui spends about four or five hours on reading and studying every day. Of course, he can't compare with those top students, who spend another ten more on studying every day.

But with the help of focused time, the learning efficiency is definitely much higher than those of the masters, and there is even room to learn a lot of extracurricular knowledge and content.

Lin Rui sometimes calculated carefully. He seemed to be very leisurely, but in fact he was not so leisurely. He spent seven or eight hours a day on exercising and studying.

He is willing to do this.

After all, with the help of focused time, whether it is exercising or studying, the speed is far beyond ordinary people.I can feel my own progress every day. This kind of positive feedback also gives Lin Rui the motivation from the heart.

Self-strength is the real strength. A strong body and a strong mind are what everyone is pursuing.It is more meaningful than ethereal wealth, and it is a higher-level enjoyment.

This point also applies to the relationship between art and Tao. You are the root and the way. Money, fame and fortune are just art. If you are strong and excellent, money, fame and fortune will come to you.

I am an idiot myself, so these are water without source, tree without root, and I can't hold it at all. How did it come about?After all, one day it will be returned.

"There is skill but no way, and the skill is exhausted!"

So Lin Rui is very energetic in studying every day now, and he wants to make himself stronger from body to mind.

In addition to these seven or eight hours of study and exercise time, one or two hours a day is spared to manage the company, and the rest is Lin Rui's real free time.

He can listen to music, practice painting, write calligraphy, and even play a piece on the guitar.

Or browse around the Internet, watch movies, play games, and browse some news.

Or go shopping with Su Hongxiu and play around.

The real free time is not too much, but compared to those classmates or top students who study hard, it is much stronger.In short, Lin Rui had a fulfilling life.

When we arrived at the library, seeing that there was still plenty of time, Lin Rui found a book and read it with relish.

At this time, in an office of the school, the student union of the school is discussing the matter of the welcome party here.

Minister of Literature and Art: "This time, the schools and departments submitted a total of 68 programs. We screened and planned to keep [-] programs."

Then he talked about the roughly selected programs, but the welcome party, of course, can't be played by the Department of Literature and Art alone.In addition to selecting good programs, various venue arrangements and program procedures require the unified cooperation of various departments.

The most important thing is that we need activity funds and money!

However, this is the most difficult thing for the external relations department of the student union.

The External Relations Department, as the name suggests, can tell what it does from the name, but it is actually quite embarrassing to be honest.

During the publicity, the school will tell you that the external relations department is a bridge for communication between the school and enterprises and businesses. You can exercise your communication skills and language expression skills by entering the external relations department.

Does this sound tempting?But the thing to do is raise money for the student council and student events.

Every time there is an activity, the instructor will ask them to go outside to raise some funds for the expenses of the activity.

But in fact, all you can look for are some businesses around the school, such as supermarkets, barber shops, clothing stores, restaurants and the like.

A common saying is: "Boss, please, please sponsor us a few hundred dollars!"

"When I go back, ask all my classmates to come to your place for dinner, shopping, haircut, express delivery, etc..."

But most of the time, I was busy for a long time, wasted half a day of talking, and didn't get a penny of sponsorship!
Of course, this is aimed at small businesses around the school, and when you are lucky, you can go to companies or large stores around the school to solicit sponsorship.

If you meet someone who is enthusiastic and generous, you may get several thousand at a time. This is definitely a big deal, but this kind of opportunity is too rare!

After the minister of literature and art finished talking about performing on stage, the next thing was to enter into the troublesome funding issue.

Zhao Yan, the chairman of the student union, spoke first: "Minister Zheng, how is the sponsorship from your external relations department?"

There is also a lot of expenses for organizing the student union at the welcome party. There will be a lot of interaction at the party, some small gifts will be given, and some lucky draws will be given.

The annual welcome party is a big burden on the student union, especially the sponsorship, who is in charge and who has a headache.

Minister Zheng of the External Relations Department said with a gloomy face: "What can I do, it's not as good as the previous two years?"

"The large supermarket in front of the school is willing to sponsor [-] and pull up a big promotional banner. Other small restaurants, small supermarkets, hairdressers, and small hotels around the school..."

"Most of them don't have a cent. No matter how hard they try to promote it, they won't get anything out of it. The few merchants who are willing to sponsor are only three to five hundred at most, and the shortfall is quite large."

Zhao Yan: "Why is it more difficult than last year? Don't we still have so many advertising spaces? There are still several banner positions, tickets, promotional posters, brochures, and so many publicity resources. Why can't we get sponsorship?" enterprise?"

Minister Zheng: "Although there are many places where we can advertise, we are not located in any bustling city center. The surrounding area is mainly small businesses attached to schools, and none of them can make much money."

"The most wealthy one is the large supermarket in front of our school. The main consumer group relies on our students, which is more generous."

"But the majority of their donations are placed on the Youth Association. I heard that the Youth Association can get [-] to [-] yuan in sponsorship from them every year, but the sponsorship that our student union receives from them does not exceed [-] yuan a year. .”

The minister of literature and art wondered: "Why is this so? The publicity resources we give are better than those of the Youth Association. Why did they give the big head there!"

Minister Zheng smiled helplessly and said: "The Youth Association is a mutual aid charity organization. I heard that the money donated by them can offset part of the tax, and it can also gain a good reputation as a charity."

"Sponsorship to our student union is just sponsorship, and it can't be tax deducted, and it doesn't have a good reputation as a charity. The most important thing is that the publicity resources we give are not cost-effective to others."

"People only need to print some posters and pay more attention to part-time jobs for students, and they can achieve the same publicity effect, and the cost is still low. Naturally, they don't want to do this kind of loss-making business."

After hearing Minister Zheng's words, the meeting room was silent again.

Today's meeting is an expanded joint meeting of the presidium of the student union. It mainly discusses the issue of the welcome party. There are quite a lot of people who came to participate, including the heads and vice ministers of various departments of the student union, and the chairman of the student union of each department.

Of course, there are also the directors and deputy directors of the literature and art department of each department. After all, it is a welcome party, and each department has a program report, and they are the most indispensable.

Among them was Lin Rui's class monitor, Cheng Han, who was also the deputy head of the literature and art department of the Student Union of the School of Communication.

Soliciting sponsorship is a relatively sensitive topic. Whether it is the student union of the school, the student union of the college or the student union of the department, it will basically encounter such a problem.

Then there was another discussion, but still no good solution came to mind.

Zhao Yan was also a little helpless, and asked everyone to discuss freely first. He got up and went to the instructor to whisper a few words, and walked out of the conference room while everyone looked at each other.

There was a whispered discussion outside, mixed with a few arguments. After three or four minutes, Zhao Yan walked in, followed by the instructor. His face was less expressiony at first, but now he was frowning slightly and became more serious. .

Zhao Yan took his seat and coughed lightly: "Everyone knows, I am already a senior this year, and I have also been the chairman of the student union for a year, and there are many classmates who are seniors like me , After a while, they will resign and replace them with juniors and juniors."

"This is the first time that our student union independently hosts the welcome party, and it is also the last time. I think the students here should have the same desire to make it a success as I do."

"It's just that now we have encountered funding problems, and sponsorship is also a difficult thing that every student union will encounter, but the previous two sessions were not as difficult as ours, so I have an idea."

As Zhao Yan spoke, he glanced at the crowd, saw that everyone was listening to him carefully, and thought about his words before he said, "Sponsorship is not only a matter of the external relations department, but also a matter of our entire student union. You can't stand by and watch, you have to participate..."

Before he finished speaking, Minister Zheng from the External Relations Department was the first to applaud.The others looked at each other in blank dismay. Although no one said any objection, they just listened. Who would ask for trouble to solicit sponsorship.

At this time, a vice-chairman of the presidium of the school's student union said: "It's not good to do this! We have already performed our own duties, with clearly defined positions, and we each do our own work. If this happens, it will be messed up."

Zhao Yan glanced at him, and said calmly, "Then what do you say about the sponsorship? The welcome party was messed up. Our student union this year may become a negative teaching material. I don't know how many times we will be ridiculed?"

"Don't you still want to stay in school? The last major event of the student union went wrong. As the vice chairman, do you think it will help you stay in school?"

The vice-chairman hesitated and said, "I naturally want to make the welcome party a success, but this cannot be done with a large number of people. Even if everyone participates, they don't have much experience in sponsoring, so they may not be as good as the external relations department?"

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "We are all the elites here, and we will definitely find a way by brainstorming."

Vice Chairman: "That sounds nice. Everyone here is indeed very talented, but it's not my own job. Who would do my best!"

Zhao Yan said: "Actually, I have another proposal. Everyone here today, no matter if it is the chairman of a department, or the deputy minister, as long as anyone can attract sponsorship..."

As if thinking of something, he turned his head and asked the minister of external relations: "How much is our funding short, and how much sponsorship do we need?"

Minister Zheng smiled wryly: "This time we only got more than 8000 sponsorships, and we need at least [-] to [-]. If we want to do better, we may need [-] to [-] to fill up these advertising resources."

Everyone present took a breath and looked at each other.

For those who have not entered the society and only have a thousand or even a few hundred yuan a month for living expenses, this money does seem a bit much.

Zhao Yan was silent for a while, glanced at everyone present, and finally said firmly: "I propose that as long as anyone can attract sponsorship and meet our minimum standards, we will give him a big credit, and we will retire after a while." , nominate him as the vice-chairman of the student union."

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, there was an uproar from below. This was too naked, and it was completely the rhythm that whoever could attract sponsors would be the vice-chairman of the student union.

The face of the vice chairman who had been arguing with Zhao Yan changed, and he said with a trace of anger: "Chairman Zhao, this is not good! We are a student union, not a play house. Anyone who can get sponsors can become a student union Vice-chairman, if you spread the word, you won’t be afraid of being laughed at, and the vice-chairman is not without barriers, anyone can be a vice-chairman.”

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "I didn't say there is no threshold! This person must serve in our student union, preferably a junior, and have rich work experience. Whether it is the school student union or the college student union, like everyone present, there are Qualifications, that's the threshold."

As soon as Zhao Yan said this, the eyes of many people below suddenly brightened.There are so many people here, there must be a few who have a relationship, and I am confident that I can still get some sponsors.

Moreover, many people have not entered the society and do not know the reality of the society. They always have a bit of luck and a bit of inexplicable self-confidence.

In the past, I didn't want to cause more trouble for myself, meddling in my own business, and I didn't get much benefit if I worked hard.But there was a student union vice-chairman position hanging in front, and many people were a little tempted.

The vice chairman also saw this, and his attitude was not so firm. He said with a "hum": "What about the school? The school will agree! This matter mainly depends on the attitude of the school." To the Youth League Committee instructor next to him.
