Chapter 476: Fame and fortune, all offered

But what Zi Xiaowei said makes sense.

"The foundation of our manufacturing university discipline construction is both strong and weak. The strengthening of scientific research capabilities of universities can provide a lot of support for enterprises. This is just one of the reasons. Many of our manufacturing companies are accustomed to not upgrading if they can make money. They rack their brains to reduce costs and increase efficiency, or even cut corners. Our various R&D laboratories have the responsibility to set standards, requirements, and restrictions on manufacturers to promote industrial upgrading."

Some will undoubtedly disagree: "If universities can impose demands and restrictions on businesses, then administrative laws and regulations have no place at all. Businesspeople and capital are inherently profit-driven, so how could they possibly listen to universities?"

Zi Xiaowei then got to the point: "This is a very real case study, involving tens of billions of dollars..."

Everyone had to concentrate and listen. It sounded like a fairy tale. "The order for 85748 vehicles is large. According to Lixiang Auto's own production and R&D schedule, deliveries will begin around October. The final result is subject to confirmation and payment of a % deposit. The funds will be transferred from the live broadcast account, so the % commission, after deducting necessary expenses, will be donated to Southwest Associated University to fund the establishment of the New Energy Vehicle College."

Mr. Zhou, who was originally sitting there leisurely with his legs crossed, froze in his tracks. He, like all the other leaders of the UN University present, couldn't believe his ears.

I have said before that I will donate the commission to organize professional courses related to automobiles.

But now there are more than 80,000 vehicles and 3.5 billion?!
This is the total annual funding for Southwest Associated University!
The 30 to 40 billion yuan in education funds includes tuition fees for tens of thousands of students, plus funds allocated by the competent authorities, to reach this number.

Such a simple order?!

Even those who are knowledgeable understand that the so-called deductions for necessary expenses, whether big or small, still control the entire fund in the hands of the other party.

But this is almost equivalent to the funding for building a whole new school, and it just appeared so easily?!

I have to be moved. Is this money illegal?
Is it compliant?
Isn't it too scary?
As a result, the four or five top leaders of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Zhou, and several secretaries and assistants in the small conference room were all speechless.

If they had witnessed with their own eyes before that Evita sold 40 billion in one live broadcast, that was selling goods, that was income!
It's beyond my comprehension.

Are the times evolving so fast? There must be something wrong!
Li Xiang is really smart. When he was still in high school, he created his own website to do hardware reviews and made his first fortune. Then he resolutely jumped out to do car reviews and became a billionaire after the car went public. He then jumped out of the Internet and became a capital tycoon with a net worth of over 10 billion.

Only he can truly see where Zi Xiaowei's most accurate point is.

Zi Xiaowei is the first epoch-making figure to truly combine the internet celebrity live streaming economy with the highest form of civilian industry, automobiles.

Just like how Li Xiang was able to leap forward step by step so quickly, it was because he seized the opportunity of industrial products like cars that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, seized the era of the domestic automobile boom, and achieved success with precision.

But that's where his limit is.

He definitely wants to become the domestic Musk, a domestic replica that can rival the world's richest man.

However, Zi Xiaowei got the upper hand and became the super internet celebrity, a combination of senior automobile manufacturing background and strong public opinion dissemination ability!
In fact, Zi Xiaowei has inadvertently achieved Musk's down-to-earth and perfect version.

It’s just that after making huge profits, Musk chose to break through the outer space, gain the gimmick of breaking out of the earth and reaching the pinnacle of human beings, so as to maintain his ability to reap profits in the capital market.

Zi Xiaowei, however, chose to give back to the universities: "Well, when this car is sold by our livestream team for 350 billion, normal business operations will just wait for delivery. By the end of the year, we'll be able to collect at least to billion in commissions to invest in the establishment of the Automotive College. This is all legally binding, and everyone involved will only receive income consistent with market expectations. The incredible profits will be used for university development and to further enhance the technological advancement of new energy vehicles. Suddenly, after only ten hours, a piece of information began to spread across the internet. Countless registered users began spreading rumors that this car looked like a hearse or funeral car, resulting in over cancellations within an hour and a half. This resulted in over billion in sales losses and over billion in commissions."

It's so fucking up and down, just like a storytelling!

All the school leaders listened attentively, and some even said "ah".

Zi Xiaowei took out his mobile phone and opened it, which showed the preset picture of the word "甸". He pushed it across the conference table.

Everyone tacitly peeked in, then pushed it to the side and quickly turned around.

Zi Xiaowei continued to tell his story: "In business, this is already a crisis public relations issue, a dangerous situation involving the survival of the company. After all, developing and producing a car requires billions of dollars of investment. This kind of strategic failure can instantly wipe out tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the market value of a listed automaker. So our media company has volunteered to participate in the crisis public relations project..."

This is a very detailed explanation, basically covering several parts, with Lianda University students as the main force, and how they hold their mobile phones at their workstations, in dormitories, and in the cafeteria and on the playground.

In fact, tens of thousands of people were intentionally or unintentionally mobilized to participate in this war. How to attack and defend, how to encircle and defeat, how to beat, how to collect evidence, how to encircle and annihilate.

"All of this unfolded in a virtual world, waged on mobile phones. The bleeding stopped in about five hours, the initiative was seized in 12, and after 72 hours, the battlefield was cleaned up, gains and losses were reviewed, and the spoils collected. This was a typical commercial public opinion war, with a large number of faculty and students from the School of Journalism participating. I think they can truly understand how public opinion supervision should be exercised and guarded against in the era of mobile internet and self-media. They also truly witnessed that in the vast internet world, there are still many key points that should be regulated by law."

All of them were leaders of the United Nations University, so no department leaders were invited to participate.

The president, who majored in business administration and strategic planning, finally spoke, feeling absolutely breathtaking. "For example, what are the key points?"

Zi Xiaowei comfortably took over the joke: "This goes back to what the leader said earlier. Why should companies listen to the standards set by universities? We have the right of social supervision. If a product cuts corners and is exposed by such self-media, it will be a disaster for the company. In the era of self-media, as long as you seize the popularity of traffic, you can have such destructive power."

Everyone just frowned a little.

Zi Xiaowei then took up the question himself: "Then how can we prevent this kind of social supervision power from being abused? Of course, the journalism school, internet celebrity communities, and live-streaming platforms should explore and establish a set of self-media certification procedures. Our Southwest Associated University Journalism School will promote this. Self-media practitioners who have received relevant training can obtain a certification certificate. After a year, if they have no violations, they can be upgraded. After three, five, and ten years, the level of senior practitioners will become increasingly higher. First of all, in the journalism school, if you can influence media platforms, you must have such a certification certificate to become a self-media..."

Everyone realized instantly that this was a huge power!
Moreover, it is a blank area that is currently in a vacuum state and has no one in control.

Do colleges and universities have the qualifications to award such awards?

It's not some competent department.

If other universities do this, no one will be interested. Who will care?

Fortunately, we have the full cooperation of the Jingxi Live Broadcasting Platform, as well as the participation of Internet celebrity communities and media organizations. They are all our own people, so we can set up our own system to get this thing running first.

Just like Microsoft has launched a related technical training certification system, many large companies have such relevant qualification certifications, and you must have this qualification to do the corresponding work.

Well, the education and training centers love to coax people into taking exams.

Zi Xiaowei is very familiar with this job.

With this alone, the School of Journalism of Southwest Associated University will lead the news industry, which is currently being said to be worthless in society, to regain credibility!
This in turn will make the Jingxi live broadcast platform the only platform with self-media qualification certification.

Not everyone can register an account and become a host, an internet celebrity, or a self-media outlet. They must have basic common sense and legal awareness.

Based on this point alone, Jingxi Live can beat all other live streaming platforms on the market!
This is a typical win-win situation of mutual benefit.

If it is just a cooperative relationship between a commercial platform and a university, it is possible that both parties will have their own agenda and it would be easy to destroy this reputation.

But here, the rehired secretaries from live streaming platforms and internet celebrity companies are still sitting next to them.

Mr. Zhou applauded without hesitation, and the school leaders also nodded and applauded.

Now you understand the importance of getting the School of Journalism to cooperate with live streaming platforms and internet celebrity parks.

Brother Qiang said that Zi Xiaowei left a huge legacy to his alma mater.

This is a status that is even more glittering than billions of investments.

But that's just a name; there are also huge benefits. "So, how can companies cooperate and improve accordingly? The automotive industry is the main force driving the national industrial artery. This year's graduation season, the Northern Suburbs Internet Park recruited nearly 4,000 new blood from the automotive industry. Jiangzhou has invested over 30 billion yuan in automobile production line construction this year. Next year, the entire Jiangzhou may become the country's largest new energy vehicle production base. With all this, isn't it worth opening an automotive college to allow Southwest Associated University to stand shoulder to shoulder with these automakers?"

Back to the Three Kingdoms period, Zi Xiaowei was definitely a good lobbyist.
