Chapter 231: Establishing Long-Term Cooperation

“Talent Transfer Plan?”

Xu Shaochen was taken aback. He didn’t expect Liu Xin to suggest long-term cooperation.

“That’s right. It’s a Talent Transfer Plan, which is essentially a targeted talent cultivation strategy,” Liu Xin replied firmly, tapping the table for emphasis before elaborating further, “Our school’s business administration system is superior to Jiangzhou University’s. You can see this from the percentage of students our school sends to major companies every year. If Chen Yu establishes a long-term partnership with our school, it will undoubtedly be a mutually beneficial arrangement.”

“Principal Liu, regarding this matter…” Xu Shaochen grew more serious. Unintentionally, he sat up straighter.

This cooperation could enhance the school’s reputation and increase employment rates. It could also ensure a steady supply of talent for Chen Yu, as the company was rapidly expanding and constantly needed fresh blood for each new market it tapped into.

If this long-term cooperation were established, Chen Yu wouldn’t face any talent shortages, at least not in the short term.

Of course, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t limit cooperation to just this one school or recruit only from it, as having too many employees from a single alma mater in the company—from top executives to ordinary staff—could lead to significant issues.

If these employees ever banded together to go against Xu Shaochen’s opinions, it wouldn’t be possible to fire them all at once, and the company would undoubtedly collapse.

A fully harmonious internal environment isn’t necessary; small cliques and competition are essential for ensuring the company’s progress and maximizing Xu Shaochen’s own interests.

The two then discussed the details further. Both sides were very satisfied with the results and reached a preliminary agreement.

“Principal Liu, speaking with you today has been truly enlightening. It’s no wonder you’re the head of such a prestigious institution,” Xu Shaochen said, stretching out his hand with a respectful smile on his face.

Liu Xin laughed heartily, extending his hand to shake Xu Shaochen’s. “Not at all, Chairman Xu! You’re the real prodigy here, starting such a massive company while still so young. I didn’t have such abilities at your age!”

Xu Shaochen smiled humbly and didn’t say much. ‘If you had a grandfather who was the richest person in the world, you’d probably be even more impressive than me,’ he thought.

Only Xu Shaochen knew his own limitations. Without the inheritance from his grandfather and the initial monthly pocket money of thirty million, Xu Shaochen would have been just an ordinary person.

“Chairman Xu, I have an additional favor to ask, and I hope you won’t refuse,” Liu Xin suddenly said.

Xu Shaochen displayed a puzzled expression. “Oh? Please, Principal Liu, speak clearly. If there’s any way I can help, I certainly won’t decline.”

“Here’s the thing—I hope Chairman Xu could give a speech to our students, sharing some of your insights on success,” Liu Xin said with a smile. He believed Chen Yu’s future was bright, and having Xu Shaochen speak at their school would also serve as a promotional tactic.

In this day and age, competition for talented students among high schools had become incredibly fierce. Offering various kinds of benefits was no longer enough to attract them.

So, one has to draw big pictures, boast, and build a reputation. Once that’s done, students will naturally come.

“A speech?” Xu Shaochen initially wanted to refuse since he’d never done anything like that before. However, after giving it some thought, he agreed. “Since Principal Liu is so eager, it would be rude of me to decline.”

It was precisely because he’d never given a speech before that he didn’t want to miss this opportunity to practice. One can only improve through continuous learning and experience.

If you stop learning, you’ll stagnate and eventually be eliminated by society.

“Good.” Liu Xin shouted excitedly and then made a phone call, “Hello, Director Li? Immediately broadcast an announcement, instructing all teachers and students to gather at the main playground.”

“Attention, all teachers and students! Upon hearing this announcement, please gather immediately at the sports field. All teachers and students…”

Soon, the broadcast echoed throughout the campus, and countless teachers and students started heading toward the sports field.

“What’s going on? I was sleeping in the dorm, and now I’m furious!”

“I don’t know. Maybe some big shot is coming down for an inspection.”

“That’s possible. Sigh, we’re probably in for another long, boring speech. This is going to be a slog.”

Everyone was chattering, speculating about the reason for the sudden gathering.

Before long, all the students assembled on the field, grouped by their classes into neat squads.

Liu Xin then took the microphone and walked onto the stage, with Xu Shaochen following closely behind.

Seeing Xu Shaochen by Liu Xin’s side, many students were puzzled.

“Who’s that guy? He doesn’t look much older than us. Why is he with the Principal?”

“No idea. Maybe he’s a student who got into trouble? Are we at a mass criticism assembly?”

“Get lost! Does he even look like a student? And you think you’d still be smiling if you were in trouble?”

Everyone was whispering about Xu Shaochen’s identity. Only Yang Liang looked bitter, as if he had figured out who this gathering was really about.

“Quiet down. Everyone, quiet down! Let me start by sharing some good news. To help solve our graduates’ employment issues, the school has initially reached a cooperative agreement with Chen Yu Company. Next up…”

“Boom!”

Before Liu Xin could finish, the crowd below erupted into excited chatter.

“What is Chen Yu Company? Never heard of it. Is it some third-rate factory?”

“I know about Chen Yu Company! It’s a newly established company. My uncle works there. A lot of big shots attended the opening ceremony.”

“I’ve heard of it too! Chen Yu is incredibly impressive. I want to work there after I graduate.”

Some hadn’t heard of Chen Yu, while others had, leading to a lively discussion. But everyone knew one thing: Chen Yu was awesome.

“Silence! Everyone, quiet down!”

Only after several shouts from the stage did the clamor below gradually subside, restoring quiet.

“Seeing everyone so excited is comforting for me. It at least proves that this strategy is effective and beneficial to you all. Today, I’m honored to welcome Chairman Xu of Chen Yu Company. Let’s give a warm round of applause and invite Chairman Xu to speak.”

As Liu Xin stepped back, he handed the microphone to Xu Shaochen and began clapping with a smile.

“Wow!”

Seeing Xu Shaochen take the microphone, the audience was shocked and stared at him with eyes full of disbelief.

“Holy crap, this is the Chairman of Chen Yu? You’ve got to be kidding! He’s so young! I feel ashamed standing here; it’s embarrassing!”

“Tell me about it! Comparing myself to him is frustrating. He’s way too young.”

“Are you sure he’s not the Chairman’s son?”

Everyone was taken aback by how young Xu Shaochen was. After all, most company leaders these days were in their forties or older.

That someone so young could establish such a large company made everyone feel both admiration and envy.

Jealous?

That was impossible. When the gap is only a meter, you might feel jealous.

But when the gap stretches to a hundred meters, you don’t even think about jealousy anymore. You only admire and revere.

Because the gap is enormous, it’s a climb you can’t even start.
