Chapter 2416, interest bundled

There is no doubt that William Krause is very familiar with the current American public opinion and political arena. Many colleges and universities in the United States are only an educational platform on the surface, but in fact, they have a deeper purpose, which is to connect with the upper class of the United States. a bond.

Through donations to some well-known universities in the United States, it is easy to arouse the favor of some American politicians. This is conducive to Duan Yun's socializing in the United States, and through the amount of donations, one can also see a person's wealth and strength, so from From this point of view, Duan Yun wants to get in touch with more upper-class elites in the United States. This is a very good shortcut.

"Just as you said, you choose three well-known universities, and I will donate 1000 million US dollars to each university!" Duan Yun reported a figure almost without thinking, only to hear him continue: "But I have a request ..."

"What request?" William Crohn asked.

"My request is very simple. I hope to attract more American media attention, so it is best to have some well-known American media reports during the donation ceremony." Duan Yun said.

Unlike domestic low-key charities, in the United States, since Duan Yun has spent so much money, he naturally wants to achieve the publicity effect he needs, and in his opinion, his request should be very reasonable, after all, 1000 million US dollars is not a small amount. Number, very few foreign companies have such a large amount.

"This is completely ok!" Hearing what Duan Yun said, William Crohn showed a relaxed smile, only to hear him continue: "I will arrange the specific matters, and you need to prepare a speech, you can take this opportunity to publicize Take a look at our products, I have many friends in the media, some of them work in mainstream media, and they are all very influential reporters and writers..."

William Krause began to proudly show off some of his media contacts in the United States.

In fact, as an "old fritter" on Wall Street, William Krause does have a very deep network in New York. In the early years, he also worked as a lawyer and helped some celebrities fight lawsuits, which even gave him Some gray contacts, and this is an important reason why Duan Yun is willing to hire him with a high salary.

The other thing is to donate to American universities. Generally speaking, the school will hold a ceremony, and at the same time invite donors to give speeches in front of college students and introduce their successful experiences. For Duan Yun, this is also a very important opportunity. You can use this opportunity to convey some information to the American people or the government.

Nowadays, Tianyin Group has a certain reputation in the United States. In fact, for ordinary Americans, they seldom pay attention to a company from China. However, with the popularity of MP3 and DVD in the United States, Tianyin’s brand and reputation It is also getting bigger and bigger, and in the global electronics industry, Telling Group has also begun to occupy a place. In the opinion of many industry insiders, Telling Group should be one of the few Chinese companies that can have certain technical strength in the electronics industry.

So a company president like him, who donates to American universities and gives some speeches, will naturally attract a certain degree of attention from the United States, and in recent years, Duan Yun and his Tianyin Group have been doing various publicity in the United States and public relations, so Tianyin Group's image in the eyes of the American public and normal people is still relatively good.

And in fact, the current Sino-US relations are in a new honeymoon period. President Clinton has always wanted to transform China into a production base of low-end and cheap products, and complete the bottom structure of the world's industrial system. China has a large number of cheap products. The labor force is undoubtedly the key to supporting this framework, so during this period, the attitude of the United States towards China was acceptable. Although most of the media reported negative news about China, there were also some objective public reports.

Strictly speaking, Tianyin Group has developed technologies and produced products that have exceeded the technological framework set by the Americans for China. Originally, this piece of cake was reserved for American companies or European and American countries, but in the world In the context of the environment and grand strategy, the rise and strength of a Chinese company is not enough to cause the United States to go to war, and in the electronic chip industry, the United States does not occupy a dominant position in the market. Tianyin Group really took away the original Japanese The cake, so the top US leaders did not have much reaction to this.

In addition, China's current national strength is still relatively weak. Compared with before the reform and opening up, although it has made a huge leap, its GDP is only 1 trillion US dollars, ranking seventh in the world, ranking behind the United States, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, After Italy, and such a country's economic ranking, it is impossible to shake the hegemony of the United States. In addition, China also chooses a more pragmatic policy of keeping a low profile. Therefore, in the eyes of Americans, China can only be regarded as a relatively good "honest" country among developing countries. student".

Moreover, Americans have always advocated individual heroism and vigorously promoted the "American Dream". Duan Yun's entrepreneurial history is indeed in line with the setting of this American Dream. The success of the country, his life experience is very legendary, so some people in the United States are very sought after by Chinese businessmen like Duan Yun.

As for Duan Yun's donation of 3000 million to American universities, it is actually equivalent to an advertising fee, and the effect of such a donation is much better than direct advertising in the United States. Duan Yun himself is a person who is good at packaging , Sometimes promoting individuals and companies is more effective and cost-effective than promoting products.

"One more thing." Duan Yun glanced at William Crohn, and then said: "This time I come to the United States, and I also want to seek some business partners. You must know that our Tianyin Group is not only the largest in China As a private enterprise, it is also the largest private distributor in mainland China, and any foreign product box can quickly open up the market in China, and it is the best choice to cooperate with us as an agent and distributor.”

"You want to act as an agent for American products?" William Crohn was a little surprised when he heard Duan Yun say that.

"That's right, that's what I plan to do." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Since the US is so advanced in technology and has so many good products, I believe that if these products can come to China, they can also get a very big profit." income, and relying on our company's sales channels in mainland China, we can quickly open up the mainland market, of course, as an agent, we also need to get profits from it."

"I see." William Crohn nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult. I believe that with the strength of our company, it will definitely attract many of our American companies."
