Chapter 230 Matchmaking
Meng Xueyi chuckled, slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Xiao Qin is quick to talk, it's good to be young."

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Meng Xueyi pondered for a moment, "I heard that the campus network has always cooperated with Facebook in the United States."

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said, "Our two websites have signed a strategic cooperation agreement."

"I've heard a little bit about this." Meng Xueyi showed a meaningful smile, "Judging from the last Global International Marathon, the campus network and the United States cooperate very closely."

"The United States not only managed the work of the International Olympic Committee, but also persuaded various European countries to participate. The last event was quite brilliant."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at Director Hao Zhiqiang next to him and said, "The event was successfully completed thanks to the care of the domestic leaders and the concerted efforts of the top and bottom staff. Otherwise, we would not be able to do it by relying on the campus network alone."

Meng Xueyi smiled and put down his tea cup, "I really have to thank my superiors for their care and help. Otherwise, it would be really not easy for such a large event to take care of all aspects."

"However, the international marathon was still very successful in the end, which shows that the campus network has experience in hosting major international events."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at his tea cup silently, and the dense water vapor slowly rose.

"I think I have accumulated some experience." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "Actually, we are just assistants."

Meng Xueyi's expression froze and he coughed, "Computer program randomly screens? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"The students selected through the program are then reviewed by experts from the expert review committee, and the shortlist is finally determined through comprehensive scoring."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is indeed this schedule in the plan. We are actively communicating with UNESCO. If everything goes well, they will issue an invitation."

But if Zhang Wanli and Brother Zhang come to make peace, that's not impossible.

No wonder Hao Zhiqiang suddenly wanted to treat him to a meal. It turned out to be a matchmaker.

"You actually did a pretty good job with this activity. You traveled to developed foreign cities, went to top international schools for exchange and study, and I heard that you also have the opportunity to go to the United Nations. It's great."

"But the selection of this expert jury must be careful. We must invite some highly respected, famous scholars and teachers. I know a few masters and can invite them to come forward."

"Oh, I just mentioned it casually." Meng Xueyi waved his hand with a smile, "Although there are no hard and fast rules to report this kind of activity, the education department is the responsible unit after all, so be careful and you won't make a big mistake."

Qin Shaoyan immediately said: "Director Meng's reminder is so right. This matter must be reported to the education department and carried out under the guidance and care of the leader so that it can be carried out better."

"Oh, this is much more reasonable." Meng Xueyi showed a forced smile, "It is a good method to use comprehensive scoring to test the results of quality education."

I'm not very familiar with you, Director Hao Zhiqiang, right? Doesn't it seem presumptuous for you to do this kind of work?
The two of them had had business cooperation during the last international marathon, so they got along very well, but they had almost no personal relationship.

Haha, Director Meng, you are too low, don’t you have any new tricks?
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Director Meng, although there will be people from Facebook to supervise and assist in the selection process of the International College Summer Camp, but..."

"Computer programs are too rigid, and the selection is unreasonable. It is easy for students with poor qualities in all aspects to be selected, while children with excellent academic performance are not selected."

Excellent in character and academics? Is it a matter of both character and learning?
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Of course, we have also taken this situation into consideration, so we are still improving the selection process."

"But, after all, this activity involves college students, so it still needs to be reported to the education department."

"Xiao Qin, there's no need to be modest." Meng Xueyi picked up the purple clay pot and rinsed the tea cup, and said casually while fiddling with it, "I heard that the campus network will hold an international college summer camp next year... oh, it should be this year? "

"Director Meng, I need to explain." Qin Shaoyan said with a serious expression, "The final decision to select college students for this event actually rests with Facebook. Countries like Europe and the United States are directly selected by Facebook."

"You can rest assured about this." Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "The entire process is randomly selected by a computer program. It is absolutely fair and impartial. No one can fake it."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and then slowly said: "This international college student summer camp is indeed a thing, but this activity is organized by Facebook. The purpose is to promote exchanges between international young college students and enhance the role of Facebook in universities in various countries." influence between them.”

Meng Xueyi's eyes lit up, "Xiao Qin, actually I asked you to come out to talk this time because I think this project is good and I want to cooperate with you."

"This activity must be vigorously promoted and carried out seriously." The more Meng Xueyi said, the warmer the smile on his face, and then the topic changed, "Xiao Qin, how are the college students who participate in the international college summer camp activities selected? Is there a reasonable Way.”

"This activity is very good." Meng Xueyi praised, "It is very meaningful. It allows college students to go out more, see the world, and broaden their horizons. It is a kind of learning and exercise for them."

Hao Zhiqiang felt very embarrassed when he saw Qin Shaoyan's eyes, picked up the teacup and sipped it.

"In the first round of auditions, all college students who have registered on the campus network can sign up and then enter the next round through random selection."

"Furthermore, people from Facebook will supervise and assist in the selection process of the International College Summer Camp. Some things are more complicated." Qin Shaoyan added, "The final interpretation of this event lies with Facebook."

"I still have some connections in the cultural industry. Let's discuss how to cooperate in multiple fields to make this event better."

"Because we are strategic partners with Facebook and have experience in the previous cooperation, Facebook entrusted us with the domestic part of the event."

It turned out that I was eyeing the international college student summer camp project.

"After obtaining the consent of the education department, the activities can be carried out under the guidance of the relevant departments, so that they can be formal."

Meng Xueyi's face darkened. He thought for a few seconds and then slowly said: "But how can we ensure that this expert selection is reasonable? Can we create a recommendation letter model? This is the method used by top foreign universities. There must be other methods. Unique.”

"I know many leaders in the education department, and I know a lot about this aspect."

"We must ensure that this selection method is fair and just." Meng Xueyi asked with concern.

Originally, he didn't want to take this kind of job, but he was forced to have no choice but to do it forcefully, because he might not be human inside or outside.

Qin Shaoyan's heart suddenly became clear. This Meng Xueyi had been going around for so long and finally showed his fox tail.

Letter of recommendation? !

Qin Shaoyan directly interrupted Meng Xueyi, "I'm sorry, how to set up this expert jury and the selection criteria are all decided by Facebook."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at Hao Zhiqiang and said nothing.

"The domestic selection is outsourced by Facebook to our campus network. Although we handle it, the final decision-making power still rests with Facebook. For example, the setting of the expert jury, such as the selection method and content."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the campus network will be in trouble."

However, this kind of thing can only be done by those who are close to the person involved. For example, Communication University relies on Qu Bingbing to spread the word, such as Chen Peng, who has a good personal relationship.

"Facebook?!" Meng Xueyi was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Isn't your campus network in China responsible for this?"

"Cooperation?" Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Cooperation is good."

If you had promised to cooperate, then you would have been forcing me to point fingers for a long time, looking like a prostitute for free.

I heard that Facebook had withdrawn again, and now I thought of discussing cooperation.

Meng Xueyi put a reserved smile on his face, "I believe there is still a lot of room for cooperation between Campus Network and I. There is a lot to talk about in terms of culture, publicity, etc."

Qin Shaoyan asked tentatively: "What about in the film and television industry?"

"Film and television?" Meng Xueyi was a little surprised, and then said confidently, "There is no problem in the film and television industry. I can even speak to CCTV."

"Director Meng really has a lot of connections and extraordinary strength." Qin Shaoyan complimented, "There are no outsiders here, so I will reveal some inside information to you."

“We do have a few internal referral spots that can skip the rest of the screening process.”

"Really?!" Meng Xueyi was overjoyed and relaxed in his heart. He felt that he was really good at knowing things. There must be room for secret operations in this kind of selection activity.

What is fair and just is all about fooling those at the bottom.

This Qin Shaoyan really has something up his sleeve.

"How many recommendation places do you have?!" Meng Xueyi said directly, "I want them all."

"I only have five." Qin Shaoyan gestured with his palms.

"Only five?" Meng Xueyi said dissatisfied, "Too few."

"Five is the limit." Qin Shaoyan said unhappily, "Director Meng, you have too much appetite. I can't give you all five places." "Five is not enough." Meng Xueyi was a little impatient. , "At least twenty, five is simply not enough."

"Director Meng, a total of thirty college students have been selected from across the country. Do you want twenty?" Qin Shaoyan looked at Meng Xueyi expressionlessly, "Do you know what this means?"

"What's this?" Meng Xueyi frowned.

Does Qin Shaoyan really want to choose thirty college students with no background to go abroad?

No way, no way?

Qin Shaoyan sneered, "Director Meng, let me explain to you the main process of this activity in detail."

“In the overseas study tour project, in addition to sightseeing at historical sites, we also have to study, discuss and exchange together in famous universities.”

"There will be a debate competition and roundtable discussion in the United Nations Headquarters building, where students from various countries can communicate freely, and then there will be a speech session on stage."

"Wait a minute?!" Meng Xueyi was very surprised, "Does every student have this part of this activity?"

"Of course." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Will there be UN officials randomly asking questions?"

Meng Xueyi seemed a little dumbfounded, "What's the question?"

"How do I know?" Qin Shaoyan replied expressionlessly, "This is the program flow arranged by the United Nations itself."

Meng Xueyi still refused to give up and asked with luck: "Does the whole process need to be in English?"

"You must use English. Why don't you use English when communicating with foreign students?" Qin Shaoyan gave Meng Xueyi a strange look, "You also have to use English when you give a speech on stage."

"Can't you use Chinese?" Meng Xueyi was very annoyed.

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "But there is no translator in the summer camp. What should I do if students from other countries can't understand me when I speak Chinese?"

"..." Meng Xueyi felt that this activity was different from what he thought.

Isn’t it a gold plating event?

Why are you doing so many shows?
Qin Shaoyan added, "Reporters and photographers will follow the entire process, and it will be produced into a program for domestic broadcast."

Meng Xueyi was stunned for a moment, "What? There are still cameras to shoot? And it also needs to be made into a program?"

"Yes, this is what Facebook requires." Qin Shaoyan said seriously

"This is easy to handle." Meng Xueyi thought for a moment, "Just let the photographer pretend. It's not like you can be on domestic TV programs just because you want to be on it."

"Director Meng." Qin Shaoyan emphasized again, "Not only domestic, but also foreign media and TV stations."

"This..." Meng Xueyi's face turned a little dark and he said subconsciously, "Go and work in foreign media and see if you can..."

"You want me to do Americans' work?" Qin Shaoyan asked, "The American media won't listen to me, how can I do their work?"

Meng Xueyi also realized that this request was a bit stupid.

"Not only will the media follow and film the entire process." Qin Shaoyan added, "The activities at the United Nations will also be broadcast live."

"..." Meng Xueyi was dumbfounded.

If there are really cameras following, then stuffing people in will not be a matter of gold plating, but a social death, or a social death in front of the whole world.

It's not that he belittles his connections. If he had the ability, he wouldn't bother looking for Qin Shaoyan to cooperate.

Meng Xueyi felt that he was weak enough to hold up the situation, let alone those with connections.

If he loses his face to the United Nations, that's really the end of the world. He can't bear the risk.

"Who designed so many messy activities?" Meng Xueyi said angrily.

For such a big event, if you cram a few people in, you can get through it, but if you cram twenty trash in at once, the remaining ten, no matter how powerful they are, won't be able to carry them.

Seeing that the gilded hope was about to be shattered, Meng Xueyi was very unwilling.

National summer camp for college students, or going to the United Nations to give a speech. This resume is very important to those with connections.

Those parents have gone to great lengths to pave the way for their children. They have bought diplomas from pheasant universities, ghostwritten books, and created genius prodigy characters. They have used all kinds of tricks.

How could you miss this excellent gold-plating opportunity in front of you, but this gold-plating opportunity also requires high abilities.

What about those who are incompetent?
Seeing that this opportunity had become useless, Meng Xueyi felt a little dizzy for a while.

Qin Shaoyan suddenly laughed and said, "Director Meng, actually this is not without workarounds."

Meng Xueyi suddenly came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "What did you say?"

"I said there can be alternatives. I just want the children to go to summer camp and see the world together." Qin Shaoyan showed a strange smile, "Go to the United Nations to show off your style."

"It is understandable that parents hope their children will succeed."

"Although there are many activities in the International College Summer Camp that are relatively difficult, there are still easier ways to speed through them."

"What method?!" Meng Xueyi immediately asked, and then added, "Mr. Qin, as long as the problem can be solved, you can ask for anything you need."

"An event as good as the International Summer Camp for College Students should not only be held once, but should be held several times more." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It is best to hold it once a year and become a globally famous event."

"Yes, yes." Meng Xueyi smiled, "Such a good event should be held more and more."

"The first session was held by Facebook owners. If they want to build a reputation, they will inevitably have strict requirements on content and quality." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Meng Xueyi meaningfully, "It costs a lot of money to pursue quality. We will definitely save the budget and cut out some unnecessary projects.”

"For example, live broadcast, multiple camera crews filming, etc."

"That's so right." Meng Xueyi high-fived and praised, "Young people chatting together, there is no need to follow the whole process."

"You don't have to use English to speak at the United Nations. After all, Chinese is also the official language of the United Nations." Qin Shaoyan looked at Meng Xueyi and said, "You think so, Director Meng."

"Mr. Qin is right!" Meng Xueyi nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, these are all my ideas, and we have to negotiate with Facebook for details." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "It would be best if we can control the hosting rights of the next few events so that we can make more efforts."

"This is the best." Meng Xueyi's face was full of joy, but then he hesitated, "Mr. Qin, is it okay to talk to Facebook?"

"Well, let's talk about it before we talk about it." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "I'll help you contact the vice president of Facebook, and you guys can talk about it."

"This..." Meng Xueyi was a little confused, "We have never dealt with Facebook. Does this vice president have any preferences?"

"I'll help you find out." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I can only say that I will try my best to help. I can't guarantee what the final negotiation will be like."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Meng Xueyi smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Qin Shaoyan's hand. "Please also help us matchmaking. I will thank you very much afterwards."

"It's easy to talk about." Qin Shaoyan looked at the other party with a smile.

After coming out of the teahouse, Qin Shaoyan got into Wuling Hongguang and took out his mobile phone, "Edward."

"What's the matter, BOSS?!"

"I have a game here, come here and perform." Qin Shaoyan said with a sneer, "Remember to sharpen the knife faster."

"okay!"
