Chapter 238 Running in both directions
Holding up the wine glass, An Rushong was secretly delighted. If Shen Yuting had not come to him for a drink just now, he would have already started a conversation with the professor. Now that the other party has taken the initiative to find him, the effect will undoubtedly be better.
Rushing to toast the other party with a glass of wine, An Rusong took the bottle and filled the other party's glass with wine, then said with envy: "To be honest with Professor Jiang, my biggest wish when I was young was to be admitted to Korea University one day, major in law, and after graduation, become a prosecutor, just like Prosecutor Shen."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Unfortunately, my family was poor and I had many brothers and sisters, so I had to leave my hometown early and come to Seoul to work and earn money to support my family. Therefore, my childhood dream has now completely become a bubble. Now, whenever I see people like Professor Jiang who are doing research, especially those who are doing research in the field of law, I feel sincere envy."
"Hey, Rusong, don't underestimate yourself," Jiang Xiuzhen said with a smile, "If anyone is envious, I'm afraid most people envy you. Even someone like me who doesn't know much about computers can see the success of NGN. As my daughter said, if time passes, your NGN company may be able to compete with Yahoo."
After a pause, he continued, "As for law, if Rusong is really interested, he can also apply to study at our law school. They have training courses specifically for people in society, and after passing the relevant assessments, they can also award corresponding honorary degrees."
Well, An Rushong naturally knew what he was talking about. To put it bluntly, that kind of honorary degree is just a tool for universities to generate income. It is not aimed at ordinary people in society, but at "successful" people in society. The key is that they have to be able to afford it.
Previously, Samsung Chairman Lee spent a huge sum of money and got an honorary doctorate degree, but he was almost scolded to death.
"Haha, forget it," An Rushong laughed and shook his head, saying, "Now that I'm burdened by my career, it's too difficult to settle down and study. However, my sister does have hope. Her ideal is to be admitted to your law school next year and strive to become a prosecutor in the future."
"Oh?" Jiang Xiuzhen was shocked and immediately became interested. He asked, "Where is Rusong's sister now?"
"It's in your school's affiliated high school," An Rusong invited the other party to take a seat, and said, "My current grades are pretty good. In the previous assessment, I was able to rank in the top ten in the entire grade. By next year, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to be admitted to your school's law school. Haha, I'll need Professor Jiang's care by then."
"Haha, leave this matter to me," Jiang Xiuzhen said with a laugh.
Don't mention it, he really took this matter to heart. Don't mention that according to An Rushong, his sister's academic performance is very good, and she may be admitted to the law school of Korea University on her own in the future. Even if the other party's academic performance is not very good and she will not be able to get in on her own in the future, Professor Jiang will be happy to help and recruit her into the school through the back door.
Yes, he really has this ability, because in the law school of Korea University, he is a kind of academic tycoon. In the world of An Rusong's previous life, this guy was directly appointed as the chairman of the Fair Trade Commission when Prosecutor Yoon came to power as president. He was considered one of Prosecutor Yoon's confidants.
From this point alone, we can see that this guy with the hat of law professor is actually a man of many talents and he is not just an academic.
So, for Jiang Xiuzhen, what benefits would it bring to him by helping An Rushong?
First of all, both of them are people who have just clung to Li Minbo's thigh. In Li Minbo's circle of fans, both of them should be relatively marginalized. But if you really count them, An Rushong, who controls NGN, is obviously much more important in Li Minbo's mind than Jiang Xiuzhen. Jiang Xiuzhen himself can feel this.
Therefore, getting closer to An Rushong will definitely be beneficial to Jiang Xiuzhen's future development.
Secondly, as the chairman of NGN Company, An Rushong has a great advantage, that is, he is rich and will become richer and richer.
Today's NGN company is valued at only 2.5 million US dollars, which is about 3500 billion won when converted into Korean won at the current exchange rate. According to the corporate classification standards released by the Korean government, NGN can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized enterprise, and it is still a long way from being a backbone enterprise. However, from the perspective of corporate development prospects, the market value of NGN companies in the future is very likely to exceed one trillion won, or even ten trillion won. At that time, NGN companies will be genuine super-large enterprises based on the Korean government's classification standards.
For anyone, establishing a good personal relationship with the president of such a company is probably a huge opportunity.
Even if these issues are not considered, and only the issue of money is considered, if An Rusong can generously donate tens of billions of won to the Law School of Korea University in the name of donating to support education, or in the name of research, jointly conduct a scientific research project with Korea University, with NGN providing the project funds and Korea University providing the research team, wouldn't the benefits easily fall into the pocket? Therefore, from Jiang Xiuzhen's perspective, An Rusong's request naturally needs to be given enough attention. He even thought about going back to the affiliated high school of Korea University to tell the teachers of the school to pay more attention to An Rusong's sister. Anyway, there are many such students with connections in the school, and one more is not too much.
Whether it was An Rushong or Jiang Xiuzhen, both of them had their own purposes when they came into contact with each other. Both sides wanted to make friends with each other deliberately. It was a kind of enthusiastic two-way rush. Therefore, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious.
The banquet lasted until nearly nine o'clock, when Bai Jinjun, who had disappeared for a long time, walked in from outside the door again. He returned to the long table, apologized to everyone again, and then toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then vaguely announced the end of the banquet.
Those who could attend this kind of dinner were no longer young and inexperienced, so after the oldest "senior" stood up and said goodbye first, everyone said goodbye to Bai Jinjun. The latter was quite patient, and when everyone said goodbye and left, he would say a few polite words to the person and then send them away.
Because he was the youngest, An Rushong was naturally the last in line. When he walked to Bai Jinjun and said goodbye to him, he was stopped by him.
"Rusong, wait a moment," Bai Jinjun said, holding An Rusong's arm, "Mr. Qingxi is downstairs, he wants to see you."
An Rusong was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. He deliberately acted reserved to show his excitement.
"Don't be so restrained," Bai Jinjun patted his shoulder and comforted him in a gentle tone, "Mr. Qingxi is very easy-going, you should know this."
"Of course, of course," An Rushong nodded repeatedly, but his attitude seemed even more nervous.
In fact, he was not nervous at all at the moment, but felt quite excited, because he could realize that among the people attending the banquet tonight, he was the most important one in the eyes of Li Minbo and his staff, and this importance was obviously brought to him by the NGN software. In other words, Li Minbo and his staff had realized the importance of NGN software, so next, there were some topics to discuss.
"Mr. Qingxi is very concerned about the development of NGN Company and NGN software," Bai Jinjun said to An Rusong as he took his arm and led him to the restaurant entrance. "He asked to meet you today, probably to ask some questions about this."
As Li Minbo's secretary, Bai Jinjun has a lot of work to do. Just like now, he not only needs to invite An Rushong to meet on behalf of Li Minbo, but also needs to reveal to An Rushong in advance some of the questions that Li Minbo will ask during the meeting, so that An Rushong can think about how to answer in advance, thus saving time for the meeting.
Lee Min-bok met with representatives of various factions within the Grand National Party today, which is a necessary procedure. The reason for this is that Lee Min-bok has a great advantage in the election. At the same time, in the current National Assembly, the conservative faction led by the Grand National Party has an absolute advantage in the 300 seats in the National Assembly. This makes Lee Min-bok have a great say in policy and personnel appointments after he takes office as president.
At the same time, Lee Min-bo's victory in the presidential election was not achieved by his own efforts. Behind him, he not only has the support of the Grand National Party, but also the support of other conservative factions. Now that he is about to move into the Blue House, the appointment of some officials will inevitably need to be put on the agenda. Who will serve as the minister of a certain department is not decided by him alone, but requires consultation with various factions.
The meeting he had with the various factions within the party tonight was to preliminarily discuss the issue of personnel appointments. Therefore, the reason why he did not show up at the dinner was not that he did not value the people present, but that he really did not have the time.
Just now, Bai Jinjun hurried back and ended the dinner with a few words. That was because Li Minbo's meeting with representatives of party factions had ended, and he could just spare some time to meet with An Rushong.
