1596. Chapter 1596 The real intention
Chapter 1596 True Intention
Although Qiongxi Academy is only a private academy, the influence of its name is actually not only in Danzhou, but also in Haihan, and even in parts of the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. This academy is already somewhat famous.
Xun Pengcheng had seen relevant reports about Qiongxi Academy in official newspapers more than once, but he just couldn't remember Zhang Jinbao's tacky-sounding name. If Zhang Jinbao hadn't reported his family name, he would have continued to make blind guesses.
identity.
Compared with Zhang Jinbao, Xun Pengcheng can only be regarded as an unknown person in terms of reputation and wealth. It is not a shame to take the initiative to bow to him. And this gesture of goodwill has obviously won Zhang Jinbao's favor and is harmless to humans and animals.
The smile finally appeared on his face again.
"It doesn't matter, but if this identity is revealed early, it will inevitably change the mentality of participants like Mr., and this is not the result I want to see." Zhang Jinbao said in a deep voice: "That way, even if someone is willing to take out the money,
The sponsorship is probably based on my reputation rather than the project they are researching."
After hearing this, Xun Pengcheng also felt that what Zhang Jinbao said made some sense. Zhang Jinbao's weight was certainly not on the same level as that of the nerds who were engaged in research. His identity could win the trust of these researchers and of course make the outside world believe in these projects.
profitability, and maybe some people hope to get more contact with Zhang Jinbao through investment projects, but that is not what Zhang Jinbao wants to achieve.
Zhang Jinbao continued: "If you ask such a question, you must be interested in these projects. I basically know everyone in the local circle, so you are from other places, right? This kind of behavior in Mr.
I have seen clothing worn by several officials. It is said that because this kind of fabric can only be produced by a manufacturing workshop in Zhejiang, it is expensive. It can only be made in Sanya, and the construction period takes at least half a month. If I am not wrong,
Is he a wealthy businessman from Sanya?"
Xun Pengcheng also had to admire Zhang Jinbao's discernment. Except for the question of his identity as a "rich businessman," his other speculations were almost all correct. When he was making this outfit in Sanya, his boss recommended this kind of clothing material to him.
He went through the same introduction, and it was because he heard that officials like to wear ready-made clothes made of this material that he gritted his teeth and made this suit regardless of the high price. However, Xun Pengcheng did not intend to clarify his true identity immediately, at least to
First, find out Zhang Jinbao’s true intention of engaging in this activity, so as not to get into trouble again.
Now that the two sides were testing each other, Xun Pengcheng felt that the pace of the conversation was too slow, and he didn't want to waste too much time on fruitless things, so he simply went straight to the topic and said: "Zhang Shanchang, what am I actually?
People are not important, I just want to express to you my views on the activities of the Haifeng Poetry Society."
"But it doesn't matter." Zhang Jinbao responded.
Xun Pengcheng said: "With all due respect, Zhang Shanchang's idea is good, but the efficiency is too low. If operated in the current way, these projects may not be able to meet anyone who knows the goods for three to five months. And Zhang Shanchang
Since I don’t want to disclose my identity in advance, how many sales can I make in a year and a half?”
"Listening to what you said, sir, is there a better solution? Then I would like to ask for advice, and please give me your advice." Zhang Jinbao did not feel unhappy because of Xun Pengcheng's words. Instead, he bowed to him and humbly asked for advice.
.
If Zhang Jinbao had a bad face after hearing this, or if his reply was thorny, then Xun Pengcheng would definitely turn around and leave, and would not talk nonsense to him anymore. He didn't want to take the risk of reminding someone who didn't understand what he was saying.
People, let alone talk about cooperation with people who have a temper that explodes at the slightest moment. But Zhang Jinbao's response was impeccable, which forced Xun Pengcheng to continue the conversation.
Xun Pengcheng said: "I would like to ask first. Zhang Shan must believe that these projects have excellent development prospects, so he will use the current model to help. But if this is the case, why not publicize it widely and let more people know about it?
Do these projects exist?”
Zhang Jinbao was silent for a moment before responding: "If some projects are exposed, the government may not agree to continue research by private individuals."
Xun Pengcheng thought it was true. This was the main reason why Zhang Jinbao was so secretive. However, in Xun Pengcheng's view, this level of cover-up was just a cover-up. It would not have much effect at all, and it was difficult to maintain any confidentiality at all.
If the security department gets wind of it, these people will just wait to be invited in for tea.
Xun Pengcheng said: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. For projects that the government deems inappropriate, can they find ways to make them appropriate?"
Zhang Jinbao said: "Your Excellency, what you mean is..."
"Life in this world is nothing more than fame and fortune. Whatever the person who can strangle you by the neck wants, just give it to him. Of course, the premise is that you can afford it." Xun Pengcheng looked at Zhang Jinbao with amusing eyes and said: "
I think there are no conditions on the ground in Danzhou that can stump Zhang Shanchang, right?"
Zhang Jinbao smiled and shook his head and said: "It's easier said than done. Not everything can be negotiated with the government. Although I have a little reputation in Danzhou, I am not so bold as to negotiate terms with the government. What do the leaders say?
I just do what I want, this is the right attitude."
"But these things you did in private are not right!" Xun Pengcheng said without mercy: "Since the government will not agree, Zhang Shanchang secretly does it. Is this the right attitude? Our country of Haihan has never had anything to do.
If you want to forcefully carve out a world in the South China Sea, the chiefs often say that there is nothing you can't do, so why don't you give it a try?"
"Can't afford to lose." Zhang Jinbao's answer was short and practical: "I have to consider not only personal issues, but also the prospects of Qiongxi Academy. If the chief thinks this move is inappropriate, it is a small matter to touch me, but Qiongxi Academy will be touched."
The Western Academy is in trouble, and that is the fate of thousands of people!"
Xun Pengcheng was shocked. He did not expect Zhang Jinbao's reason to be like this. This academy operator who looked like a businessman actually put the interests of the academy and students first. If he was not lying, then this magnanimity
It is indeed very heartbreaking. It is no wonder that these elites from various local academies are willing to trust Zhang Jinbao and entrust their research projects to the Haifeng Poetry Society organized by Zhang Jinbao.
After Zhang Jinbao finished speaking, he looked at Xun Pengcheng and said: "If Mr. Cheng can help in this regard, then I will do it. I will thank you greatly in the future!"
When Xun Pengcheng heard the word "thank you", he felt nervous again. He had been in constant trouble since the last time he was thanked by Ma Dalan. Now he is particularly sensitive to this word. He was a little nervous when Zhang Jinbao mentioned remuneration.
.
Seeing Xun Pengcheng's silence, Zhang Jinbao thought that the other party was waiting for him to issue more specific conditions, so he continued: "If Mr. Cheng can make a connection and contact the head of Sanya to express his position on this, these research projects can be legal
Hua, I am willing to pay you 10,000 yuan as a reward."
If it had been two months ago, Xun Pengcheng would have jumped up when he heard this number. After all, with his income as a reporter at the time, he might not have been able to save 10,000 yuan even if he worked until the end. This was of no use to him.
It is different from an astronomical figure. But before that, he had dealt with the generous Matalan people, and got generous rewards from the Matalan people by accident, and overnight he became
He was a wealthy man, so when he heard Zhang Jinbao offered a price of 10,000 yuan, he didn't have much reaction. He just recalled the past and felt a little in his heart.
Zhang Jinbao misunderstood Xun Pengcheng's attitude. He suddenly remembered that this person was not an ordinary person. Although the price he offered was not low, the other party might not take it seriously, so he quickly complained.
: "I am just confused. Since you are a wealthy businessman from Sanya, why would you care about a mere ten thousand yuan?"
Xun Pengcheng wanted to say that ten thousand yuan was really a lot. Even though he was a rich man now, this ten thousand yuan was by no means a small amount. It was just that he was a little distracted just now and didn't have time to respond. But now Zhang Jinbao regards him as
As a wealthy businessman in Sanya, he didn't bother to explain more, and would wait and see what happened first.
Zhang Jinbao immediately made another more attractive condition: "If what I said before can be realized, I am willing to give 20% of the shares of Qiongxi Academy to Mr. Zhang!"
Even though Xun Pengcheng was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be moved by Zhang Jinbao's offer. This was not an interest that could simply be measured in monetary terms, and the 20% stake in Qiongxi Academy was not that easy to value.
Moreover, if this share is obtained, not to mention the long-term economic benefits, just the name of the academy operator will enable him to become the teacher of countless students in the future, and this kind of connections is even more impossible to buy with money.
But Xun Pengcheng has a very fatal problem, that is, he does not have any high-level connections, and he cannot talk to the noble leaders in Victory Fort. Zhang Jinbao's expectations may be in vain. But he also
Not wanting to let go of the piece of fat that had been brought to my lips, I quickly searched my mind for any useful information.
Among the interpersonal relationships that Xun Pengcheng had access to in the past, there was a person who had close contacts with Haihan's senior management. However, Li Nai, the backstage boss, rarely interfered with the affairs of the newspaper. Xun Pengcheng had worked in the newspaper for two years and had never seen anything like this.
He has been his boss several times. Moreover, he has resigned from the newspaper and left for many days. There is no way he can go back and shamelessly ask Li Nai to introduce him to the big shots in Haihan's senior management.
Unless......
Even he himself doesn't quite remember which projects he invested in. As long as it is a business that he finds interesting, he will not hesitate to take action, either participating in the operation or directly acquiring it. Almost every time he goes to Sanya, the business under Li Nai's name will be mentioned again.
Add a new record or two.
Xun Pengcheng knows that Li Nai is a person who likes novel things very much. If he can get Li Nai to take a fancy to Zhang Jinbao's research project, let him invest some money, and then go out to persuade Haihan executives to give the green light, there may be a chance of success.
.
But Xun Pengcheng was not sure whether Li Nai was still in Sanya. Even if he was still staying in Sanya, Xun Pengcheng would not dare to go back to look for him. Because when he left Sanya, the Ministry of Security specifically told Xun Pengcheng that he would not be allowed to go back to Sanya in the short term.
He went back again. Even if Xun Pengcheng was brave enough, he would not dare to confront this special yamen. If he challenged the authority of the Ministry of Security, he would risk his own life.
So how to let Li Nai get the news and come to Danzhou on his own is another technical task. Xun Pengcheng was not sure about this and did not dare to give Zhang Jinbao a guarantee. He could only respond: "Mr. Zhang Shan
That’s so polite…”
"It would be too foreign to call me the mountain chief again. It's not as good as you and me as brothers, and it would be more convenient for each other." Zhang Jinbao felt that this matter was promising, and he began to get closer without hesitation.
Xun Pengcheng hesitated for a moment, but still followed Zhang Jinbao's words: "That's disrespectful, so I'll try to get a better deal with Brother Zhang. This matter can be done, but the process may be a bit complicated and it will take some time..."
Zhang Jinbao felt that Xun Pengcheng's words seemed to have an overtone, so he immediately interjected: "Brother Cheng, do you need some money to fix your joints?"
Xun Pengcheng didn't want to tarnish his image with such details, so he quickly waved his hands and denied: "That's not the case. To be honest, I know a real wealthy businessman who is very close to the leaders of Victory Fort. If he is willing to come forward,
Say hello, and the government will probably get it through. I just don’t know if he is currently in Sanya, so I’m afraid there may be some inconvenience in contacting him.”
"This matter is easy to handle." Zhang Jinbao immediately responded: "Danzhou has already opened a civilian telegraph. Although it is more expensive, it is very convenient to contact Sanya. I asked Brother Cheng to draft a letter and then sent someone to generate electricity.
Report, if the wealthy businessman you are talking about is still in Sanya, the news can be delivered within today."
Xun Pengcheng had forgotten this. Of course he had heard of telegraphs. However, civilian telegrams were priced by the word and were quite expensive. With his income as a reporter, he couldn't afford it. Of course, at that time,
Almost all of his social relationships are in Sanya, and there is no need to use telegrams to contact people in other places.
Zhang Jinbao even brought out the telegram, and Xun Pengcheng could no longer refuse. However, he and Li Nai were not familiar with each other at all. Even before the incident in the newspaper office, Li Nai may not have remembered that Xun Pengcheng existed. Now he has to use a
The paper telegram summoned Li Nai from Sanya to Danzhou, which was also a big test for Xun Pengcheng's storytelling ability. But thinking about the 20% stake in Qiongxi Academy, Xun Pengcheng was unwilling to give up such a great opportunity. Moreover, Zhang
Jinbao's eagerness made him vaguely feel that if this matter was completed, the future benefits would probably be far more than the benefits Zhang Jinbao had given so far. This person was so shrewd, and he would definitely earn back the two percent of the shares in the future.
Chapter completed!
