Chapter 151 Cultural Celebrities
Teacher Ji's face was quietly red and said, "I don't believe you said this to many girls. At 3:00 pm, there was a special session in the No. 1 auditorium of the West Campus. Our department took the lead in inviteing Liu Baoju, the famous bestselling writer, to give a speech. The topic is about society and people. You can also listen to it, it is very helpful for your studies."
"Since it was recommended by Teacher Ji, I naturally have to listen to it." Chen Huayao's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard Liu Baoju's name.
In fact, Liu Baoju was invited by his head teacher Qi Rongan with his boss’ efforts.
Liu Baoju is a native of Xiangjing, but he is only in his early thirties.
Ten years ago, he used the US military to attack Iraq and published a serial article in the Xiangjing Times, which had a very high circulation, with tens of thousands of words, implying that the city's surface is peaceful, but in fact, the people are living in poverty. He also praised the military for eliminating harm to the people, his words are sharp and his articles are sophisticated that it caused an uproar in society and made a name for itself.
Then, books such as witnessing the 20th anniversary of the opening of Xiangjing, the record of the weird things in Xiangjing's officialdom, and this ugly society were published, which were best sold at home and abroad, claiming to be more than one million in total.
He also opened a Weibo account on the Internet to guide public opinion. He could make a mess of water wherever he caught and scolded him. There were also many sought-after people, which had a great influence.
At the end of the year, it is time to evaluate professional titles again. Teacher Qi, who is in his forties, has been embarrassed to be a broken class teacher. He has not produced a few academic works, nor has he achieved outstanding results. Now he is anxious. How can he add points to his resume? He takes the lead in hosting several influential activities.
What is influential? Please give a famous scholar a speech!
Xiangjing University is the highest institution of Xiangjing City. It has hundreds of speeches every academic year. Visiting foreign politicians, celebrities, scholars and experts have all come to Xiangda to give speeches. It has extensive social reports, and there are many followers. It is a lot of praise. There are all speeches on literature, environmental protection, international relations, etc., but there is no speech on sociology. How can this be reasonable?
Teacher Qi first applied to the school leaders, and then found a relationship to contact Liu Baoju.
Xiangjing University can be called a top-notch Asian brand. Others come here to inspire students. Why doesn’t Xiangda’s fame bring glory to speakers? Some entrepreneurs want to pay millions to give speeches once, but the school doesn’t want to consider it. Liu Baoju was very happy when he heard this, and agreed without hesitation. The two sides hit it off.
Liu Baoju's remarks are very controversial in society, but the school believes that the school is a sacred place for academic freedom, and feels that he has long ignored the Department of Sociology, and is somewhat disgusted, so he finally approved the speech.
Chen Huayao also deliberately understood Liu Baoju's relationship. Su Chengya's Su Guo Electrical Appliances needed publicity and hype. He paid for him to write articles and scold people. In addition, he mentioned the benefits of Su Guo Electrical Appliances, or made up a few stories at will, which implied the meaning of raising Su Guo Electrical Appliances.
This is called "soft article" in the industry. Soft publicity is not a hard advertisement. It has a subtle effect and has a very obvious effect.
Liu Baoju claims to be a public intellectual, "representing the opinions of the masses" and so on. He does whatever the government agencies say, and he has to oppose it, whether it is good or bad. How can he show his extraordinaryness if he doesn't object? There are actually a group of blind followers, so advertisers look at him. Liu Baoju's remarks are extraordinary, and he is originally to make money, so what can't be done?
Su Chengya has a noble status and did not need to meet with Liu Baoju in person, but based on the principle of "a thousand gold buys horse bones", he expressed his respect for the so-called public intellectuals. He met at Shen Youtong's celebration banquet and was just met by Chen Huayao.
When I arrived at the auditorium in the afternoon, there was a full seat and the speech had already begun.
This time, there were many listeners, including most students from the Department of Sociology, as well as some students from the Department of Chinese, Philosophy, School of Business Administration, and Normal College. Thanks to Teacher Qi's vigorous publicity that almost killed him, this speech became well known.
After all, those who can give speeches at Xiangda are all extraordinary people, including masters of Chinese studies, cultural celebrities, foreign scientists who have won the Nobel Prize, and Chinese scientists who refuse to receive the Nobel Prize.
It is not a bad thing to listen to the content, for example, Wei Chensi, who likes to show off, also came, looking serious and listening. Although he was very impatient, he had to show his family that he was a diligent, studious, and enterprising third-generation child.
Under the leadership of Mr. Wei, many young masters and young masters who are rich and well-off, as well as their female fan groups.
Chen Huayao found a seat in the back row, next to several second- and third-year students in the Department of Sociology who were absent-minded in playing with their mobile phones.
"Hey, aren't you here to listen to the speech?"
"Who likes to listen to his nonsense?" The third-grade student cut an apple on his mobile phone and said impatiently: "The head teacher of Class 2 of Grade 1 gives us fifty yuan each, and come here to sit and raise the heads, otherwise you think you can sit full?"
Chen Huayao thought that Teacher Qi is worthy of being a lecturer in social psychology and is good at creating momentum. The people here are full of people, which attracts many students who don’t know the truth to come and watch. There are even a few piles of people standing in the corridor. He said, “I’ll give you a hundred yuan and drive them all away. How about it?”
The student rolled his eyes and said, "Young Master Wei is in the front row. Do you dare to make trouble? Do you want to die?"
There are more than 1,000 seats in the auditorium, which are usually used for meetings and art performances. At this time, they are arranged as one hundred and one forums on CCTV programs. There is a rostrum on the stage, and behind it is a heavy curtain, with the big words "Famous scholar Liu Baoju: Society and People".
There was someone carrying a camera in the corridor below the stage. It was a photographer from the university TV station. The program will be broadcast for 30 seconds after editing the program. Two security guards were walking back and forth with their hands behind their backs, warning some students who were unwilling to be content.
Liu Baoju was on the rostrum, with a bottle of mineral water and a microphone, splashing splashing, and his mouth was lingering.
"Society is composed of people." Liu Baoju said: "Society cannot be separated from people, and people cannot be separated from society. The two complement each other and are indispensable. When people live, society will be alive. When people are healthy, society will be healthy. However, when people are sick, society will be sick. Or, conversely, when society is sick, people will be infected."
Chen Huayao snorted: "The old tune is repeated, and it's a waste of nonsense." The boy who was playing with his mobile phone responded without raising his head: "It's not a waste of time for fifty dollars. Didn't Teacher Qi give you money?"
Liu Baoju said: "Why is society sick? We can use a famous poem throughout the ages to describe it: the wine and meat in rich families are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. The so-called fat meat in the kitchen, fat horses in the stables, the people are hungry and hungry, and the wild are hungry. The injustice of the distribution system has created a huge gap between the rich and the poor and class opposition."
Chen Huayao suddenly saw Teacher Qi appear by the window and lowered his voice to the people: "Why don't you applaud quickly?"
The boy playing with his mobile phone said: "Fifty yuan is just a seat fee. Do you think fifty yuan can make a big deal? To applaud, you have to add more money, and you have to applaud according to the timing."
Helplessly, Teacher Qi pulled out ten green RMB and stretched it out: "You can share it with everyone, add fifty one person to try to bring the atmosphere up."
"Teacher Qi, why don't I have my share?"
Teacher Qi suddenly found Chen Huayao sitting among them. He was startled and whispered: "Chen Huayao, you can do it too. I'll add some points to you at the end of the period."
"Of course, I will make him very satisfied." Chen Huayao smiled very badly.
On the rostrum, Liu Baoju said loudly again: "What is the use of our country to compete for more gold medals in the Olympics? What is the use of cultivating so many athletes? Why not popularize sports in the country? Why should we compete with other countries for the number of gold medals? It's ridiculous! Do you think that if the number of gold medals ranked first in the country can be healthy and long-lasting? Those are the money from our taxpayers, wouldn't it be better to use it to allocate it to ordinary citizens?"
At this time, low whispers began to appear in the audience.
Liu Baoju's voice became louder and louder: "What is the use of our country to launch the Shenzhou spacecraft of more than 10? What does it reflect that wastes such a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources? Can you become the world's number one if you succeed in launching? Can one or two ridiculous people surpass the mili of rice when you go to heaven? Is it better to build a space station? Those are the money from our taxpayers, and it is better to distribute it to ordinary citizens?"
Several boys around took the money and saw that Liu Baoju had a pause and quickly clapped his hands. However, everyone below whispered to each other, and no one followed. The sparse applause had to automatically go out.
Liu Baoju shouted so hard that he drankly, and poured a mouthful of mineral water on his mouth, and said, "What's the use of Huangyan Island in our country fighting for the Diaoyu Island? Don't cheat the leader! It's useless! The money for building warships, weapons, and training is all the money of our taxpayers. Wouldn't it be better to use it to distribute it to ordinary citizens?"
After saying that, he took a breath, saw someone raising his hand in the distance, and smiled and said, "Student, do you have any problems?"
Chen Huayao tidied up his collar and stood up: "Teacher Liu, isn't your speech about society and people? What is the connection between these?"
Liu Baoju smiled and said, "Good question, if the country distributes all the money to us, it means that communism has been realized. Everyone has money, which means that society is rich, and the society's disease will naturally be cured."
"That's better to divide all state-owned assets evenly, right?"
Liu Baoju snapped his fingers: "That's right, state-owned assets including banks, factories, enterprises, energy, telecommunications, and transportation are more than 20 trillion yuan, and the average score is more than 100,000 yuan per person, so we are the whole people rich!"
Someone heard a low voice from the audience, and some shouted, "So many?"
Chen Huayao stepped out of his seat and walked into the corridor, lit the cigarette butt in front of him, and walked forward. The smoke flew backwards and said, "If this is the case, then our country will be done. State-owned assets such as telecommunications and energy transportation must be controlled by the state so that they will not be invaded by foreign capital. Once railway transportation, oil, and mobile phones have all become foreign assets, if the country has something to do, we will be defeated first without war."
Liu Baoju said: "Class, please return to your seat and sit down!"
