Chapter 2282

Zhang Jinbao and Danzhou Mayor Zhang Xin are no strangers, and they often interact with each other. However, he has not enjoyed the same treatment at a private banquet initiated by Zhang Xin. It can be said that he is influenced by Li Nai.

Guang. Zhang Jinbao knew how much he weighed, so naturally he did not dare to compete with his parents and officials for the qualification to serve as a host, but it seemed that the matter of fulfilling the friendship of the landlord would have to be postponed for a while.

That night at Zhang Xin's residence, Li Nai and Zhang Jinbao were present together. Zhang Xin did not invite anyone else, and he did not even arrange to accompany the guests. It could be regarded as a genuine private banquet.

The reason why Li Nai was able to receive such high treatment in Danzhou was not only due to his good personal relationship with Haihan's senior management, but also another reason that cannot be ignored is that Furifeng has many business projects in Haihan, and

As the most important economic center in Qiongbei region, Danzhou is naturally indispensable for Furifeng's industry.

In recent years, the number of projects Furifeng has directly operated in Danzhou and invested through Qiong Lianfa and other commercial institutions have already exceeded double digits. The number of jobs and industrial development prospects it has brought to Danzhou have reached a level that cannot be ignored by the government.

To such an extent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a major financial backer in Danzhou.

One of Li Nai's main responsibilities at Furifeng is to deal with Haihan's senior management and be responsible for operating various industries in Haihan. The industries operated by Furifeng in Danzhou used to be managed by Li Nai and Zhang

They were in contact with each other, so the two of them could be regarded as acquaintances. In addition, this cooperative relationship involved many vital interests, so naturally they had private contacts.

"I heard that the third young master visited Qiongxi Academy when he arrived in Danzhou today? You won't tell me that you suddenly want to go to Dean Zhang for further study, right?" After the three of them sat down and sat down, Zhang Xin asked jokingly

Li Nai's schedule for today.

Li Nai responded with a smile: "I would be very happy to go to a good place like Qiongxi Academy to further my studies, but I am busy with worldly affairs, so I am afraid I won't have enough time to realize this wish."

Zhang Xinyan asked: "It sounds like the third young master has a very good impression of Qiongxi Academy! Are you planning to help Dean Zhang expand the scale of the school?"

Li Nai nodded and said: "To be honest with the mayor, I do have such a wish, but the specific cooperation details and implementation plan still need to be discussed with Dean Zhang."

After hearing Li Nai's answer, Zhang Xin looked at Zhang Jinbao and said, "Dean Zhang, it seems that you have gained a lot from your trip to Sanya!"

Zhang Jinbao smiled and said: "That's because the third young master has a keen eye and is optimistic about the long-term prospects of investing in the education industry, so he took the time to come to Danzhou to inspect the operation of my academy."

Zhang Jinbao's plan to find someone to cooperate in opening a branch school has been reported to Zhang Xin before. Zhang Xin certainly supports this. After all, Qiongxi Academy is now an important brand in Danzhou's cultural industry. If it can

Opening a branch to expand his influence is also a remarkable political achievement for him personally.

However, when Zhang Jinbao reported the plan to him, he did not mention specific partners. At that time, Zhang Jinbao only had the idea of ​​opening a branch, but had not yet started to contact possible partners. At that time, Zhang Xin gave him

My suggestion is to find partners from big businessmen from other places or even foreign countries. This may provide Zhang Jinbao with the resources he needs to run his school.

Although Zhang Xin agreed with Zhang Jinbao's direction of running a school, he really didn't expect Zhang Jinbao to be so powerful. It didn't take long for him to find a partner, and it was also a big businessman with outstanding strength like Li Nai. Look at Li Nai

After arriving in Danzhou, he went to Qiongxi Academy for inspection without much delay. Zhang Xin thought that the willingness of the two families to cooperate was quite strong. He asked tentatively during the dinner, and it turned out that it was exactly what he thought.

But when Zhang Jinbao talked about the location of the branch, Zhang Xin's reaction was a little surprised: "Dean Zhang plans to open the branch in Guangzhou? Have you ever considered the problems that may arise in the process?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "It is because there are many problems that need to be solved that I asked the third young master for help. After all, he is a local in Guangzhou and should be able to solve many problems for the academy."

Zhang Xindao: "There is no doubt about the influence of Third Young Master in Guangzhou... But you want to set up a school in Guangzhou. Have you reported this to the Ministry of Culture and Education and gone through all the necessary procedures?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "Mayor, don't worry, Mr. Ning from the executive committee is already aware of this matter. He has not objected to my idea, but only warned some issues that need to be avoided."

Zhang Xin's face brightened slightly at this moment, and he nodded and said, "Just report it, otherwise Ning Qi will ask you later, because I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to explain."

For Haihan at this stage, the supply and demand situation of educational resources is definitely not balanced, and it is still far from the universal education that the executive committee wants to promote. Under this situation, if Qiongxi Academy wants to open a branch in Ming Dynasty, there will be

Logically speaking, the executive committee would not agree to such a plan due to the suspicion of resource outflow.

But Zhang Jinbao definitely didn't dare to fabricate Ning Qi's statement, so his school plan should have been approved by the executive committee. Zhang Xin didn't understand why Ning Qi agreed to Zhang Jinbao's idea.

In fact, after Zhang Jinbao's idea was reported, there were two completely different views on it within the executive committee. One was naturally that it would drain the country's insufficient educational resources, weakening itself and in vain.

Another view is that we can use the name of running a school to further strengthen Haihan's cultural output capabilities, and add more ideological propaganda to teaching, so that students in Ming Dynasty will yearn for Haihan.

And encourage these people to go to Haihan for further study or employment, which can also play a role in promoting the immigration of high-quality talents to Haihan.

Later, the second view prevailed. The executive committee believed that even if Qiongxi Academy's approach proved to be ineffective in the future, it was at least a useful exploration. What's more, Qiongxi Academy is a private academy, and the official does not need to

When investing money in this process, you only need to fulfill your responsibilities of supervision and guidance.

If the subsequent direction of running the school may harm Haihan's interests, the actions of Qiongxi Academy can be stopped at any time through administrative means.

Of course, Ning Qi did not reveal all the considerations to Zhang Jinbao. He only told him that he could operate the matter, but he needed to follow the confidentiality system to ensure that sensitive technical content would not flow into the Ming Dynasty through the academy's teaching methods. In addition, teaching

The content and student management system must also make some minor adjustments in accordance with government guidance.

Ning Qi's request was not a problem at all to Zhang Jinbao, and he did not really realize the hidden risks involved in the government's regulatory power. He just believed that the project had received official approval, so the subsequent operations should not be carried out again.

There is official resistance.

Zhang Jinbao also needed a successful example to prove that his idea of ​​running a chain of schools was feasible. If the branch in Guangzhou could be successfully opened, he could try to open branches in more places in the future. As soon as the official relented, he was determined

We must try to implement this idea.

As long as it doesn't affect Danzhou's local cultural and educational environment, Zhang Xin doesn't mind Zhang Jinbao's troubles outside. Besides, the partners Zhang Jinbao has found are also extremely reliable. Even if Zhang Xin doesn't trust others, he will never doubt Li Nai's management skills.

With his vision and talent, since Li Nai is also optimistic about this project, it means that it is indeed relatively feasible.

Regarding the matter of jointly running a school between Qiongxi Academy and Fulifeng, Zhang Xin briefly asked about it and then did not discuss it in depth. Since the executive committee had already nodded in approval, of course he would not have any objections.

The main issue Zhang Xin wanted to discuss at Li Nai's banquet today actually had nothing to do with Qiongxi Academy.

"How did the third young master think about the project we discussed last time?" After talking about Qiongxi Academy, Zhang Xin took the initiative to change the topic.

Li Nai responded: "The infrastructure projects mentioned by the mayor are all good things that benefit the people of Danzhou. Of course, Furifeng is also happy to participate. However, the investment in these projects is very large, and I am afraid there will be some problems in allocating funds. In addition, it is such a big project

How to effectively supervise infrastructure projects is also a problem."

Zhang Xindao: "That's okay. This kind of expensive infrastructure project was originally not intended to be undertaken by your Furifeng family alone. At that time, a project council led by the Danzhou Management Committee will be established to determine the proportion of each investment.

The third young master can hold shares in the family and supervise the implementation of the project. If you have any specific requirements, the third young master can put them forward to me for further discussion."

Zhang Jinbao listened confusedly, but he could roughly guess that what the two were talking about was related to local infrastructure renovation.

Danzhou is currently one of the major cities under the rule of Haihan, and is undergoing rapid development in all aspects. However, most areas in Danzhou still use the infrastructure facilities from the Ming Dynasty, some of which can no longer meet Danzhou's current actual conditions.

Demand has increased. Especially roads, bridges, docks, etc. related to transportation are increasingly unable to carry Danzhou's growing cargo throughput.

Zhang Xin has been a local magistrate in Danzhou for several years, and it seems that the executive committee has no plans to replace him, so Zhang Xin has made plans to stay in Danzhou for a long time and has formulated a series of plans for Danzhou

Long-term development plan.

Most of Danzhou's local areas are coastal plains, which are very suitable for large-scale agricultural development. In addition, relying on Danzhou Bay, a natural harbor, the shipping industry and the resulting commercial resources are also Danzhou's strengths. In addition, Danzhou

Danzhou has a cultural and educational atmosphere that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and countless literati visitors come to and from Danzhou every year.

Based on these unique advantages, Zhang Xin's development plan for Danzhou is to focus on culture, education, commerce, shipping and agricultural development, and to become a regional economic and trade center in the Beibu Gulf region in the future.

But to achieve such a goal, first of all, infrastructure, including land and sea transportation, must reach a corresponding level of construction, and the infrastructure achievements during the Ming Dynasty were obviously not enough.

Zhang Xin needs to build official roads with a certain carrying capacity between counties in Danzhou, renovate and expand roads leading to Haikou, Changhua, Qiongzhong, and build a commercial trade port and various supporting facilities in Danzhou Bay. These

The funds required for infrastructure projects cannot be met by Danzhou's own fiscal revenue alone, and additional funds must be raised.

National treasury allocations and bank loans are one of the ways to solve this problem, but the amount of funds that can be obtained by the former is extremely limited, because the Executive Committee invested almost all of Danzhou's transportation construction budget in the transportation project between Danzhou and Changhua Port.

Freight railway, and the expected construction period of this railway line is several years, which means that it will be difficult for Danzhou to receive funding from the state treasury for other transportation construction projects during this period.

Although bank loans can also solve Danzhou's shortage of construction funds, the bank's money is not a national allocation that does not need to be repaid. Danzhou will have to dig out a piece of fiscal revenue all year round to make up for the loan repayment hole.

, which will inevitably greatly affect the development process of Danzhou.

Zhang Xin believes that there is a better way to solve the shortage of construction funds encountered by Danzhou, and that is to introduce social funds to implement Danzhou’s infrastructure projects. If a large business like Furifeng is willing to pay to help Danzhou

If the government solves these problems, it will be able to obtain various rewards granted by the government, such as tax exemptions, franchises, property rights to infrastructure facilities, etc.

These conditions must be attractive to businesses with long-term business projects in Danzhou. Zhang Xin had already exchanged views on this when he met Li Nai before. Although the specific details of the cooperation had not yet been finalized at that time

, but Li Nai has already shown great interest in it.

For this kind of large-scale cooperation project, Furifeng's management in Danzhou has no authority to make decisions on its own, and Li Nai is a busy man. He came to Danzhou again after a long time. Zhang Xin can only wait until this kind of cooperation with Li Nai

Only with the opportunity to meet can the subsequent negotiations be carried out. So after receiving the news that Li Nai came to Danzhou, he took the initiative and held a banquet to invite Li Nai.

Li Naidao said: "If possible, I would like to know more accurately what planned infrastructure projects are in Danzhou and how much funding each requires. Let me calculate carefully and see if I have the ability to undertake them."

Zhang Xindao: "This request is very reasonable. The third young master will stay in Danzhou for two more days this time. Let me take you around and inspect the implementation locations of these projects. You can judge the construction plan we give by yourself."

Is it reasonable?”

"The mayor is so magnanimous. It seems that every aspect has been carefully planned." Li Nai said with a smile: "Why do I feel that when I come to Sanya on my next trip, I haven't even seen the shadow of Qian, and I am about to bleed one after another!"

Zhang Xin said sternly: "It would be a big hemorrhage if you lose all your money. Infrastructure projects and running schools are long-term investments. They will definitely receive excellent returns in the future. The third young master does not have to have too many doubts about this."
