Chapter 168 Progress
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment after hearing Fred's report.

"What do you mean you want to collect 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 did," Fred replied simply. "The PR team played golf with him for several hours and lost tens of thousands of dollars to him."

"You have to do things when you receive money." 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. We are not willing to do this."

"If he doesn't want to do it, then find another one he wants to do."

If you don’t change your thoughts, change your people.

"Okay, BOSS." Fred thought for a while, "I think those people on the Olympic Committee do more things than do less things. They don't want to work overtime to do all this extra work."

"I think it's best for the authorities to come forward and promote it from a formal level."

Zhang Wanli suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, have you told anyone else in the administrative agency about this matter?"

"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 and suggest that it is best for us to go through official channels."

"I have a meeting in the morning, and I'll go over to you in the afternoon to learn more about the situation."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a while, "Facebook will start creating public opinion from tomorrow. Let's stir up the news first."

"Even if the International Olympic Committee can't handle it, the worst case scenario is to give up on them and do it ourselves."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "You can go and negotiate with those big brands. It would be best if you can get them to pay. We can't spend money to promote them."

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.

Qin Shaoyan is the major shareholder. Not to mention appointing two, there is no problem in appointing twenty.

"Okay, Leader Zhang." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Then I will prepare some materials."

Zhang Wanli quickly reacted, "Is there any progress regarding the international marathon?"

Zhang Wanli pondered for a few seconds, "The leaders also held a meeting to study it. They quite approve of your plan and also expressed support for the publicity work."

"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said happily, "Facebook has entered the preparatory stage and is building public opinion in the American media. Los Angeles officials have agreed to support it, and the two sides are negotiating details."

"Leader Zhang, good news." Qin Shaoyan said happily.

"Then let Athens make a corresponding statement, and I will start to do the official work of China."

"No problem." Fred didn't care at all.

"Also, remember to leave me two brands as designated clothing partners."

Seeing that the atmosphere was already rising, Qin Shaoyan immediately called Zhang Wanli.

"I understand, BOSS." Fred said one more thing, "Our promotion is going to be so big this time, why don't we cooperate with some sports brands?"

"Since the officials in Los Angeles and Athens have supported it, there won't be any problems on the domestic side."

Facebook soon began to build momentum in public opinion, announcing that it would conduct public welfare activities for the Olympic Movement around the world.

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."

"Yes." Zhang Wanli was silent for a moment, "Mr. Qin, I have a few words to say to you in a private capacity."

"Brother Zhang, tell me." Qin Shaoyan said immediately.

"..." Zhang Wanli coughed, "First of all, don't publicize the fact that you are a major shareholder of Facebook. Keep a low profile."

“The second point is to seek truth from facts and act within your capabilities.”

"This public welfare activity should be done within the scope of one's ability. Don't blindly expand the content of the project for the sake of great success."

"Third point, the scope of this official cooperation is limited to the public welfare activities themselves. Don't take this opportunity to do anything in the name of the official."

"If I find that you are messing around and making illegal profits under the official name, 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 around. 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."

"It's okay if you don't." Zhang Wanli hung up the phone after saying that.

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 his 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 quota and put unrealistic demands on Qin Shaoyan in order to gain political achievements, and the project would end up 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 was probably afraid that Qin Shaoyan would be instigated by some people to increase the intensity of the marathon and thus not be able to complete it.

However, Qin Shaoyan already had countermeasures for this kind of thing. He just had 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 around three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhang Wanli arrived late.

Unlike last time, there was a car behind his car. The door opened and three people got out.

The leader, who was in his late 30s and nearly 40s, 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."

"Director Hao, you're welcome." Zhang Wanli greeted with a smile, "I'm just a handyman, running errands for you."

"What you said makes me angry." Director Hao waved his hands repeatedly and responded with a smile, "How dare we ask you to run errands? You are overqualified."

"It's all work, no matter what you do."

Director Hao said with a smile, "Well, grassroots work is not as easy as in the National Development and Reform Commission."

"Grassroots work is more training and more fulfilling than working at the National Development and Reform Commission." Zhang Wanli smiled and then changed the topic, "Let me introduce to you, this is President Qin of the campus network, Qin Shaoyan."

"This is Director Hao Zhiqiang of the Olympic Organizing Committee."

"Hello, Director Hao." Qin Shaoyan stepped forward to shake hands with a smile, "Welcome the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee to come to our company to inspect and guide our work."

"Mr. Qin is joking, I can't afford to be an inspection and guidance person." Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Let's cooperate sincerely and work hard to do a good job."

"Let's go up first and then talk." Zhang Wanli interjected.

"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.

Then, a middle-aged man in his forties with a majestic face got out of the car.

Hao Zhiqiang smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Director Fan."

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised and looked at Zhang Wanli.

Which song is this sung from?

Zhang Wanli's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
