“Of course, there’s no problem with that. How about this, I will inform Wang Ye to come to the company tomorrow when you take the tour so you can meet and have a chat. It will be inconvenient to meet at the Friendship University the day after tomorrow because we have to meet with the school leaders and the schedule is pretty tight.” Liu Jun readily agreed.

“That’s great, thank you, President Liu.” Li Changyun gratefully repeated.

This time, both from a public and private point of view, he needed to meet Wang Ye, given their family relationship.

Since he was already in Moscow, it would be inappropriate not to see Wang Ye.

Besides, this collaboration was facilitated by Wang Ye, a fact he had communicated to the school leaders as well.

After Liu Jun left, Li Changyun and the others didn’t go to sleep immediately.

Despite the lateness of the hour and the fatigue from a day of flying, everyone was still quite excited and unable to sleep.

Li Changyun and the school principal were sharing a room, so they began to chat casually.

“Lao Li, how do you think we should go about recruiting students after we sign the cooperation agreement? I’ve given this some thought, and it doesn’t seem too promising. How many families in our area can afford to send their children abroad for study?” the principal pondered seriously.

In this regard, Li Changyun was an expert. After all, he was in charge of student recruitment – it fell within his expertise.

Li Changyun thought for a moment, confidently stating:

“Principal, rest assured. I am optimistic about the prospects for recruitment.

Not to mention other places, just look at our Yangnan City. Our local area is comprised of nine counties and one city, with a population of over ten million!

Even though our region’s economic development is average and considered poor, this is only when looking at the overall economic level.

However, due to the large population base, there are quite a few wealthy families as well.

In particular, this collaboration aims to send students to study in Russia, which is not costly – a few hundred thousand RMB should be enough for a few years of study.

Families with such economic conditions among the current Senior Three students in our area should number at least in the thousands.

Even if only one-tenth of these students sign up, we should be able to enroll over a hundred.

Furthermore, the conditions in Heluo City are slightly better than those in our city. Therefore, it should not be a problem to recruit two or three hundred students in total…”

He laid out his analysis logically, and the principal nodded in agreement.

Central China is highly populated, and Yangnan and Heluo cities are among the cities with large populations, thus they have an abundance of students.

Just in Yangnan City alone, there are as many as thirty to forty thousand new Senior Three graduates each year!

Moreover, do not assume people were all poor back then. After all, the Reform and Opening Up policy had already been in effect for over a decade, and many families had already become wealthy.

Take for example the high school Wang Ye attended – a provincial key school. Each year, it only recruits about two hundred “standard fee” students.

In actuality, however, the number of new Year One students each year exceeds two thousand!

The extra students are all those who paid a premium to get in, and the amount varies based on your Middle School Examination scores.

The minimum is three to five thousand, and the maximum is ten to twenty thousand!

If there are so many families willing to pay that much just for high school, how about studying abroad?

Quite a few families would be able to afford it, would be willing to bite the bullet and do it.

After some hesitations, the principal suggested: “When we negotiate the terms of cooperation with Qingyun Company, I think we should include some additional conditions. As we discussed earlier, the school receiving five thousand for each student enrolled seems a bit low. You do the math, even if we recruit two hundred students, the school would only receive one million… oh, that does seem like a lot. However, I still think it should be somewhat higher!”

Although the cooperation terms between the two sides had not yet been finalized, they had already discussed it roughly.

According to Wang Ye, for each student recruited, a commission of five thousand would be given to Yangnan Teacher’s College.

Qingyun Company would take twenty thousand.

In other words, the agency fee for each student would be twenty-five thousand, which is actually not high at all.

Other domestic agencies charge anywhere from thirty to fifty thousand, and if you want to go to a developed country, the agency fee would be even higher!

……

People are fickle, aren’t they? Initially, the principal felt that a commission of five thousand per student was quite a lot.

But now that he had arrived in Moscow and had just experienced a bit of the decadence of capitalism, the principal felt that the more money he could get, the better!

Although the school receives financial appropriations from the province every year, that money is strictly accounted for and cannot be freely used.

The money earned through collaborating with Qingyun Company’s study abroad agency can be freely used by the school – it’s like the school’s own “piggy bank”.

So, the principal wanted to earn more.

Since their recruitment scale tops off at an estimate, he could only think of ways to increase the commission.

Don’t blame him for being greedy. When doing business, who doesn’t want to earn more? It’s human nature.

However, Liu Changyuan became anxious when he heard this. He didn’t want to raise any difficulties.

If the matter was stalled due to commission issues, and the Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company decided to sever ties and begin cooperating with a university in the province instead, it would just mean a delay.

But if Yangnan Teacher’s College lost this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to find another study abroad organization to cooperate with!

“Principal, be careful! I think it’s best to stick to the original terms. We all agreed on it, and if we suddenly propose additional conditions or change the commission ratio, I’m sure Qingyun Company will be unwilling. Remember, they have many options, while we don’t have a second choice,” he quickly proposed.

This was also a reasonable argument. The principal paused, considering whether there was a better solution.

How could the school increase its income without offending Qingyun Company?

As a principal, he had seen a lot and had a more meticulous way of thinking. He quickly came up with a good idea.

“Hey, Lao Li, what do you think if we do this? We don’t touch anything on Qingyun’s side. But we can extract a bit more money from the students.

Speaking of which, he excitedly sat up and continued his analysis:

“Look, if we start recruiting students in April, they won’t be able to come to Moscow until the end of August or beginning of September.

There would be a gap of four to five months during this period, which we can make use of.

We have plenty of classrooms and dormitories in our school, so we can organize a Russian language training class and let these students get a head start on their language training.

After training them for four to five months, that’s already equivalent to a semester. It would not be unreasonable to charge them a training fee of five thousand.

In addition, once we take charge of the training, we can greatly relieve Qingyun Company’s workload as they won’t need to provide Russian language training anymore.”

Don’t say it, the principal’s plan is actually perfect!

It truly benefits everyone involved.

Firstly, the students’ families – they are all willing to spend two or three hundred thousand to send their children abroad to study. Naturally, they would also be willing to spend an extra five thousand for their children to get early training and to have a head start.

As for Qingyun Company – their partner has voluntarily taken up responsibilities and taken over the Russian language training task, which simplified their work. Surely, they would have nothing negative to say.

Regarding Yangnan Teacher’s College – the empty classrooms and dormitories could be used, bringing in a large sum of money…

It is a win-win for everyone!
