Lin Yuan didn't know the specific situation of Qinzhou. After he left, he didn't go to the company, but called Gu Dong to help pick him up at the airport.
Jianyi arrived in Qizhou.
Qi Yi's school starts tomorrow, and Jian Yi originally wanted to go to school to register, but Lin Yuan had thought about this before, so he suggested: "Why don't you live with me? I have an empty room."
Lin Yuan lives in a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
He usually sleeps in the master bedroom, and the guest bedroom is basically empty, so it is quite convenient for Jianyi to live here. The two of them will only stay here for one academic year. Their colleges are far away from each other, so it is troublesome for them to meet every day, so living together can also allow them to take care of each other.
"Alright, that's it."
Jian Yi thought for a while and nodded. He and Lin Yuan were both exchange students, and he had only come here as a junior. It felt weird for him to live in a dormitory with strangers. It would be more comfortable for him to live with Lin Yuan. "I have to talk to my family later."
Lin Yuan nodded.
On the way, Jian Yi and Gu Dong also introduced themselves to each other, but since it was their first time meeting, they only exchanged a few simple words, and then the topic returned to Lin Yuan: "Are you used to staying here?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jian Yi smiled and said, "I just got off the plane and started observing. I feel that Qizhou and Qinzhou are really very different. The architectural styles are different, and the locals here can communicate in Qi language. I feel like I need to learn Qi language..."
Lin Yuan didn't say anything.
He actually knows a little Qi language, or to be more precise, Cantonese. It is not a too unfamiliar language for him, but his speech is not standard, but at a level that is basically understandable to the locals.
“So is the Internet.”
Jianyi took out his phone and went online. "It seems that although the networks of various continents are interconnected, the focus of each continent is completely different. We like to use tribes, and something called blogs seems to be popular in Qizhou, but the nature of the two seems to be almost the same."
Lin Yuan nodded.
There are eight major states on Blue Star, each of which is equivalent to the size of several countries on Earth. So although Blue Star has global governance and everyone has no concept of a country, the differences and competition between continents are everywhere, and there is really a sense of difference between countries in the previous life. The biggest common point between them is probably that the official language of each state is Mandarin.
This is also normal.
Because of the differences in culture and lifestyle, the distinctions between the states are quite obvious. Perhaps the officials of each state also intentionally differentiated the states. Although the network is not isolated, there are some directional differences. If people do not take the initiative to explore other continents, the degree of mutual understanding will not be very high.
For example.
If you search for Xianyu in Qinzhou, all the latest related news will pop up immediately, which is very detailed. However, if you search for Xianyu in Qizhou, you can only find the simplest information, such as Xianyu's works. More specific news is not easy to find. Lin Yuan himself couldn't explain the reason clearly. Perhaps the fundamental reason lies in the various competitions between the states.
…
The next day after the two settled in, Qi Yi finally started school. Lin Yuan and Jian Yi went to their respective colleges to report. This college had a set of procedures specially arranged for exchange students. After all these procedures were completed, Lin Yuan was assigned to Class 3 of Qi Yi's junior composition department.
He wasn't the only exchange student.
In addition to Lin Yuan, there were two other exchange students in the class. However, when the teacher introduced the three new exchange students in the class, Lin Yuan was obviously the most popular and welcomed one, because in addition to the official language, the biggest similarity between Qizhou and Qinzhou was:
Everyone looks at the face.
This statement probably applies to the entire Blue Star, and even to the two new balls. In short, when the girls in the class saw Lin Yuan coming in, their eyes all lit up in unison, so much so that the welcome applause Lin Yuan received was particularly warm.
Finish the routine self-introduction.
Lin Yuan was arranged to sit in a seat in the back row. His deskmate was a boy. Compared to the girls, he was certainly not as enthusiastic, but his attitude was still polite. He quietly introduced himself:
"Tang Ming."
"Hello."
Lin Yuan nodded and put down his schoolbag. Boarding students only needed to bring the corresponding textbooks to the classroom every day, while day students like Lin Yuan had to carry a small schoolbag every day. However, this was also the case in Qinzhou, so Lin Yuan had gotten used to it.
There are no classes on the first day.
Classes officially started on the second day.
Lin Yuan was originally worried that the courses in Qinzhou and Qizhou would be very different, but after listening carefully to a few classes, he found that there was actually not much difference in the progress of the courses on both sides. He did not fall behind in the class progress just because he was an exchange student. This was probably related to the fact that the composition knowledge was common after all.
It took some time to adapt to this.
Lin Yuan was completely used to it.
While Lin Yuan was at school, Xingmang Music was still constantly looking for new orders, and actually got two letters of intent. However, just like before, when the two new letters of intent were being negotiated, the other party turned away as soon as they heard Xianyu's request.
"It's not going to work this way."
Gu Qiangyu sighed. The three deals that had recently fallen through were all due to the intention of cooperation generated by Xianyu, and all of them ended in a huff because of Xianyu's request. When had the client in Qizhou ever been so easy to talk to
"It's true."
The head of the composition department said helplessly: "If we continue like this in the next few months, how long can the company last? We must find a way to change the situation. Otherwise, should we lower the price?"
"no."
Gu Dong objected: "Have you forgotten what Representative Lin said last time? If we let Representative Lin take the low-price order, what's the point of us working so hard to invite an ace to help us? The biggest problem now is Qizhou..."
Gu Dong suddenly had an idea!
She murmured, "We seem to have fallen into a misconception of thinking. We always look for small and medium-sized companies to seek cooperation. Why don't we look for large companies to cooperate with? Only large companies are worthy of the status of Representative Lin."
"Are you crazy?"
The supervisor smiled bitterly and said, "You can't even get small and medium-sized orders, and you still want to take orders from big companies. Do you think big companies are easier to talk to than small and medium-sized companies? In fact, the clients of big companies are only more strict!"
Gu Qiangyun also shook his head.
There is even less hope of finding a big company.
Gu Dong's eyes flickered: "But maybe we can give this company a try. It's our only hope. If this company doesn't work out, it will probably be hard for us to find a better opportunity."
"What company?"
"Thunder Entertainment."
Gu Qiangyun and the composition supervisor both widened their eyes, thinking that Gu Dong was daydreaming. This was one of the largest entertainment companies in Qizhou. All their orders were taken directly from Qinzhou, and they almost never worked with local music companies!
"You forgot."
Gu Dong smiled and said, "Lei Ting Entertainment Company had a previous cooperation with Teacher Xianyu, and it is not difficult to guess that they should be very satisfied with the results of that cooperation."
"You mean!"
Gu Qiangyun suddenly reacted.
Qizhou’s client is indeed difficult to please, but the previous “Dragon Dance of the Fishes” was an animated film launched by Leiting Entertainment, and the impression song finally adopted by that animated film was the work of Xianyu. Facts have also proved that it was a very perfect cooperation—
"You mean Big Fish!"
The head of the composing department also reacted and was extremely nervous for a moment: "Will Leiting Entertainment be willing? I never dared to think of such a big company before. Under normal circumstances, they would not look at us in the eye."
"We have the stepping stones."
Gu Dong stood up suddenly: "I don't believe that I can't knock on the door of Lei Ting Entertainment this time. Don't they like to cooperate with people from Music Town? Now that people from Music Town are right under our noses, there is no reason for Lei Ting to push them out directly!"
