Chapter 1361 – Seeking assistance from alma mater
It is extremely difficult to develop online literature. The most difficult part is the publishing rights. Almost all countries’ laws did not regulate the replication of novels on the internet, and it’s hard to demand copyright infringement.
The author could claim compensation from another party if they profited from his works. But it’s hard to evaluate the compensation amount because there are no laws about this.
It is also hard to gather evidence. That’s why those doing piracy had become bolder. They are also the ones who made many aspiring writers leave online literature.
Feng Yu does not want to see this happening again in this life. China is the first in the world to develop online literature and set an example for others. He wants this operating model to spread globally and let anyone start writing novels.
Anyone who can speak will know how to tell stories. But only some can make the story exciting and interesting.
The majority of the people like to listen to stories, and everyone has their preferences. Different generations, cultures, and environmental changes will affect people’s preferences. For example, Harry Potter was rejected several times, but it becomes successful in the end.
Feng Yu wants to let the Eastern culture influence the West and not stop the West from invading the Chinese with their culture. Online literature is not enough. He needs to increase the influence further!

“Oh, Manager Feng. Why are you here to see me?”
“What are you saying, Principal Li? You are my teacher, and I have to visit you. Furthermore, I had been donating to my alma mater all these years.” Feng Yu replied with a laugh.
Feng Yu intends to use his donations to Beijing University and Principal Li’s connection to helping him promote Chinese Culture.
“Do you think I don’t know what is happening? All the results from those researches had gone into your hands.”
“I had donated the money I earned from those results back into education.” Feng Yu argued.
“Alright. I will never win against you. You have all sorts of reasons when you are studying here. But I know you have a good character.” Principal Li laughed. “What are you here for? I’m surprised the World’s Richest Man is coming to me for help.”
“Principal Li, I am here to visit you. This bottle of Royal Jelly is for you.:
“If you are not going to say, I will have no time for you later. I have other matters to attend.”
“Wait. I need your help on some small matters. It’s like this....” Feng Yu told Principal Li his plan.
Principal Li frowned. “It’s good to hear that you want to promote our Chinese culture. This is something our Beijing University graduates should do. But hosting a national writing competition is not an easy task. It will be fine if our university holds a writing competition for middle and high school students. But you want it to be open to all ages and nationalities. This is too difficult. Just going through all the submissions will take ages.”
“Principal Li, I have thought of a solution. All the submissions will have an electronic copy posted on a website, and everyone can read it on the PC. At least three judges will grade each submission, and each judge will give from 0 to 5 points. After that, we will pick winners from them.”
“No. Many people my age have poor eyesight and can’t see the wordings on the monitor screen. Also, many people don’t know how to use PC.”
“Principal Li, the PCs are easy to operate nowadays. All you need to do is move the mouse and click. You can also adjust the character size bigger. It will be clearer than reading it on a piece of paper. Furthermore, some people’s handwriting is hard to read.” Feng Yu explained.
“Messy handwriting is because he did not work hard at school. I remember your handwriting is ugly.”
Feng Yu: “......” Why are you talking about me now?
“Principal Li, we can use a second option. We can contact other universities and let people in their region submit their essays to them. They will do the preliminary screening, and the shortlisted essays will go into the next round. At the same time, we can accept online submissions. This will shorten the time greatly.” Feng Yu replied.
“It’s fine even if it takes a long time. We can use the time to promote this competition. What’s wrong? Are you not willing to spend more money?” Principal Li looks at Feng Yu with a smile.
“How much can this cost? It’s not even a fraction of what I donated to our school each year! I can wait. Most importantly, I can do my part for our traditional culture!” Feng Yu slapped his chest.
“We have lots of outstanding students, and you are considered the most special one. No one had expected the World’s Richest Man is a Chinese and a graduate of Beijing University! You had made us proud! You also did not forget your alma mater and the country after you become rich.”
“I don’t care what your motives are for holding this writing competition. I only hope you can make it a success. Leave the communications with other schools and government agencies to me! I will settle it for you!” Principal Li announced.
“Thank you. I believe this competition will be a success with your help! Beijing University will become the leader of the revival of our Chinese culture and will be recorded in history!”
“Let’s not talk about whether we can be recorded in history. I am honored to do something for our nation, and I will be retiring in a few years. I am glad I have this opportunity to do something before I retire. Like what you mentioned, I am also upset because our traditional culture is disappearing slowly. Some bad culture should be given up slowly, but we should be following and learning from most of it.”
“It’s time for us to take a serious look into reviving our culture! Our Chinese culture is unique, and it will strengthen our nation. This way, our people’s lives will be prosperous!”
