Chapter 79: 36 years old, from Po County, likes bronze ware
"The 2024 College Students' Social Practice Innovation Achievement Exhibition is organized by the Municipal Education Bureau in conjunction with major universities to enhance students' innovation awareness and promote their employment and entrepreneurship..."

Shen Yiyi was sitting in the passenger seat, bored, so she read the official document issued by her school to Zhang Yang from beginning to end.

The three girls in the back seat were munching on snacks and chatting about where they would go to get the bargains after entering the venue.

Zhang Yang could see that Shen Yiyi had a hard time fitting in with the small group of girls behind them.

So even though it sounded a bit noisy, he didn't say anything.

Anyway, when he was driving, his nerves were extremely tense and he had no time to think about what Xiao Shen was saying.

"Master...cousin, did you understand?" Xiao Shen asked after he finished reading.

If you still call someone "senior brother" in public, it will easily lead to a series of questions from others, such as "When did you become my disciple?" and so on.

To avoid trouble, just call him the omnipotent "cousin".

"Yes, I understand."

Zhang Yang nodded perfunctorily.

"But I want to test your ability to summarize and see if you can extract the key information of this activity within 10 words."

"10 words? That's a bit difficult!"

Shen Yiyi read the entire announcement again and concluded:
"The key message is: Get investment in college students' work."

"Exactly ten words, how about that?"

"awesome!"

Just as they were waiting for the red light, Zhang Yang had his hands free to give Xiao Shen a thumbs up.

Shen Yiyi smiled and handed over a hard plastic card:
"When we get to the venue, you'll need your student ID to get in. This is the ID of a student in my mom's class. He looks a lot like you. You'll use this."

"Thank you for your hard work. You and your auntie are very thoughtful."

Now that Zhang Yang is here, he must go in and join in the fun.

What if there’s a billionaire woman who comes crying and begging to invest in him?
And it just so happened that the student ID that Xiao Shen gave was owned by a man named Zhang Ziru, who seemed destined to be with a rich woman.

Directly carry out the "steal of destiny".

……

Zhang Yang took the student ID and just put it in his pocket when he suddenly heard a squeaking brake sound in his left ear.

On the road to his left, a van of the same model as the one Aunt Xie’s was also parked in front of the zebra crossing.

Zhang Yang just glanced at first.

But the owner of the van looked at him, then suddenly turned around and gave him a forehead-touching gesture.

Just put two fingers in front of your forehead like a salute, and then flick them forward.

The general meaning is "tribute".

What are you paying tribute to me?
Zhang Yang nodded in confusion.

After that, this car appeared in Zhang Yang's field of vision repeatedly, and finally even drove to the entrance of the venue.

"Yiyi's cousin, can you overtake the car repairing the leaking building in front of you?"

A girl in the back seat reminded Zhang Yang worriedly:
"What if the security guards mistakenly think we are from the same convoy and don't let us in..."

"It should be fine."

Zhang Yang answered with some uncertainty, but still unconsciously stepped on the accelerator and passed.

The car was stopped by security guards at the entrance to the garage.

"What do you do?"

The security guard came over from the booth on the left and questioned Zhang Yang.

As soon as they got there, the girls in the car shouted in unison:

"Uncle Security, we are here from Qingzhou University to attend the exhibition!"

This sound completely stunned the security guard.

With so many girls’ voices, it feels like I’ve arrived in the second dimension.

"So you are a top student from Qingdao University. Go quickly, the exhibition will start soon."

Coming back to his senses, the security guard looked at Zhang Yang deeply, nodded in admiration, and waved his hand to signal his companions to let him pass.

……

Just as Zhang Yang and his friends left, the guy wearing sunglasses arrived by car.

Naturally, he was stopped.

This time, the security guard did not speak first. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and came over to take a look at the situation inside the car.

When he found that there were no passengers, he asked the driver:
"Which university are you from?"

"This." The young man pulled at the school badge on his chest.

"Oh, you're from a vocational college. I used to be from a vocational college too. There are no parking spaces inside. You can park on the roadside."

"But it shows here that it's not full yet."

The young man pointed to the LED screen next to the security booth, which said there were 208 parking spaces left.

"Parking spaces are tight today, and there are limited places."

"There are zero places for vocational colleges. Even if you park your car now, you will have to move it later. It's better to park it directly on the side of the road and get there in one go."

“But I have some goods in my car.”

"Go to the store over there and borrow a trailer."

The security guard thoughtfully helped his juniors to guide the way.

The man in sunglasses glanced at the back of Zhang Yang's van and nodded helplessly.

"By the way, I want to remind you, don't wear sunglasses when you enter the venue. If the principal sees you, he will scold you."

"Got it, thank you bro."

The man in sunglasses was dragging a pile of fake antiques as he walked on the sidewalk one kilometer away from the main stadium, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would buy a 985 school uniform next time.

In comparison, Zhang Yang is much happier.

If you have a good junior sister, you can avoid taking detours.

Surrounded by a group of girls, Zhang Yang followed Shen Yiyi to the Qingzhou University booth. As a result of the promotion of the History College, Xiao Shen's bronze chimes were unique enough to rank among the best in the entire school.

Therefore, a half-meter-wide display space was set aside at the school's booth for her works.

Three smaller bronze chimes were placed side by side on the exhibition stand.

There is a sign standing at the back with [Bronze Restoration and Reproduction Techniques] written in the center.

There is a line of slightly smaller words in the lower right corner, which reads:
"Inherited from Tukeng Duan, an imperial craftsman in the Qing Palace, a national intangible cultural heritage (application pending)".

In addition to this title, there are densely packed small characters on the sign, which provide a general introduction to this national intangible cultural heritage skill that is still under application.

There is also a bare-headed photo on the right, labeled "Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor Shen Yiyi."

For this position, Xiao Shen originally wanted to use Zhang Yang's handsome photo, but he declined.

Later, Shen Yiyi took a step back and wanted to use the photo of her master Feng Yao.

But the middle-aged man doesn’t like taking photos. The most recent photo he took was a prison photo.

In the end, Xiao Shen had to go alone.

At this moment, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw this display:
Fortunately, he didn’t give in at that time, otherwise he would be the one in jail today.

This photo is posted here, it looks like Lao Gan Ma hot sauce.

Every visitor to the booth, after taking pictures of the bronze ware, would ask Xiao Shen to hold the sign and take a close-up of the author and the work.

Teachers from the school would occasionally come over and ask Xiao Shen to smile more sincerely.

Zhang Yang standing beside him was laughing so hard that he almost died.

However, although many people came to take pictures, the professional investors that Xiao Shen mentioned never showed up. Most of the audience seemed to be teachers and students from other schools in the exhibition.

Is this not an event where there are more contestants than spectators?

After waiting for a long time, until Zhang Yang Wangzhe was upgraded to six stars, the first large group of people finally arrived on the main road next to the Qingzhou University booth.

Seven or eight middle-aged men, all in suits;

Those who talk and laugh while walking have extraordinary conversation;
There was also a cameraman following him and a secretary holding documents.

This kind of team configuration looks like successful people at first glance.

Moreover, there was a person in the team that Zhang Yang had some impression of. He should be Mr. Liu from the city taxi company, and the biological father of "Old Six" Liu Qianghua.

Mr. Liu is only fit to walk at the back of the team and breathe in the exhaust gas, which shows that the leader has some strength.

This team was obviously heading for Qingzhou University's booth.

The teacher in charge of the booth quickly went out to greet them and help explain.

"Do you know who this is?"

Zhang Yang asked Shen Yiyi in a low voice.

It was quite a grand occasion, with reporters from the provincial TV station taking pictures.

"I don't know, but I have a way."

"any solution?"

Zhang Yang asked curiously, turned around and saw Shen Yiyi took out her cell phone and was taking pictures of the leader.

Oh, this requires using your family connections to ask.

No, she is searching for pictures on the Internet!
"Awesome! Can it recognize it?" Zhang Yang exclaimed, moving closer to see the recognition result.

I didn't expect that there is actually information about this person on the Internet:

Cai Hongxin is the vice president of a Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and an outstanding alumnus of Qingzhou University.

Zhang Yang took a look and saw that the person graduated in 10, which means he is only about 36 years old now.

At this age, he is already the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as his father retires from the position of chairman, his net worth will increase to tens of billions.

Mr. Cai, in addition to being the vice president, is also an angel investor.

However, the reason why he can have such a grand ceremony is probably because of his dual identities as an “alumni” and a “rich Chinese businessman”.

Double BUFF is indeed more powerful.

"I feel like this person has nothing to do with us." Xiao Shen whispered to Zhang Yang.

Because at this moment, Mr. Cai was looking at the robot on the booth with a very serious expression.

At Qingzhou University's booth, there are many high-tech achievements, among which various robots account for the majority.

Xiao Shen’s bronze chimes are probably the second lowest in terms of technological content.

The lowest should be the boneless fish bred in the agricultural college next door.

However, Zhang Yang just tried it and felt that it tasted better than the ordinary boneless Basa fish and had great investment value.

So all in all, Xiao Shen's works are the least worthy of investment.

Zhang Yang jokingly called her "someone who gathered people to play the game."

"Even if it doesn't matter, you still have to greet them with a smile. Come on, smile more naturally."

Seeing the large group coming, Zhang Yang hurriedly urged Xiao Shen to stand up.

"Hey, is this a bronze chime?"

"When did our History School have this technology?"

Mr. Cai stood in front of the booth, his mouth wide open in surprise.

The teacher in charge of the exhibition didn't understand this and quickly looked at Shen Yiyi:

"Yiyi, come and introduce me to Mr. Cai."

"He is a senior from the School of Economics and Management. You don't need to be nervous."

"Mr. Cai, this is Xiao Shen from our History School. She made all these bronze artifacts herself."

"So awesome!"

Mr. Cai showed a strange smile on his face, but it was not directed at Xiao Shen, but at the bronze chimes on the table.

When Xiao Shen introduced him, the expression on his face gave Zhang Yang, who was watching, a feeling:
Mr. Cai really wants it.
