Chapter 2292

Hearing that Zhang Jinbao's tone had relaxed, Guo Huan naturally refused to give up and continued to persuade: "Dean Zhang, the cooperation between you and Furifeng can actually take other forms. It does not necessarily have to be done by Furui.

Feng participated through direct investment.”

Guo Huan actually understands Zhang Jinbao's concerns. Furifeng has great influence in Guangzhou, and almost no one is willing to offend this giant. What's more, Zhang Jinbao has an appointment with Furifeng. If

Going back on his word and kicking out his partners at this time may indeed anger the Li family. Even if the Guangzhou branch of Qiongxi Academy opens successfully, it will inevitably encounter many inexplicable troubles in its future operations.

Moreover, for a project like the academy that requires long-term operation to generate profits, it is very important to have a good relationship with the local gentry. For a local wealthy family like the Li family, as a migrant, the Qiongxi Academy must be too late to curry favor, so what?

Willing to offend the other party easily.

Considering Zhang Jinbao's position, Guo Huan did not dare to persuade him to kick Furifeng away and go it alone. He could only suggest Zhang Jinbao to find other ways to cooperate with Furifeng.

"Other forms? Then please give me shopkeeper Guo's advice on how to discuss other ways of cooperation with Furifeng?" Zhang Jinbao was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard Guo Huan's suggestion. Now the talks with the Li family are almost complete.

If you change your tune with Li Nai at this time, how can the other party be willing to give up easily?

Guo Huandao: "I don't dare give you advice. I'd like to make a suggestion. Dean Zhang will see if it's feasible. You and the Li family will discuss it again and ask them not to directly contribute capital, but to use other resources as conditions for cooperation... Of course, they will not participate in the daily management of the academy.

, to preserve Dean Zhang’s ownership of the academy.”

"Then what conditions can the academy provide to make them give up participating in the operation of the academy?" Zhang Jinbao shook his head slightly and said: "If it is just to help Furifeng train professionals, the exchange should not be enough."

Zhang Jinbao thought that even if Fulifeng did not directly provide the money, as Li Nai had said before, he could only provide a set of real estate to the academy as a school venue. According to the market price in Guangzhou, the price would be equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver at least, and Li Jifeng promised to

Helping build momentum for Qiongxi Academy in Guangzhou, the value of this special help is even more difficult to measure in terms of money. Since Zhang Jinbao wants to take all the operation and management authority of the Guangzhou branch into his own hands, he must give more

Only the rewards can be commensurate with the benefits given by the other party.

Guo Huan gritted his teeth and said, "How about asking Furifeng's boss Li to be the honorary president of the Guangzhou branch?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "Li Jifeng is one of the most successful businessmen in Guangdong. How much do you think he cares about this false reputation? At least he should be more practical!"

"Does Dean Zhang have any other conditions that he can provide to the Li family?" Guo Huan had no choice but to kick the ball to Zhang Jinbao again.

What conditions could Zhang Jinbao have to offer? He had already thought about it when he went to Sanya to discuss cooperation with Li Nai. The most available offer would be part of the ownership of the future Guangzhou branch. If not for this

In exchange, I am afraid that Li Naidu may not make arrangements to go to Danzhou for field inspection later.

But now I want to tell Li Nai that I am going to withdraw this condition and replace it with some conditions such as honorary dean. How could this fool such a shrewd person like Li Nai?

Although the loan proposal proposed by Guo Huan was very attractive, Zhang Jinbao could not make up his mind to risk offending the Li family.

"Shopkeeper Guo, if you had come here a month or two earlier, I might have agreed to your proposal without hesitation. But now... this situation is somewhat inappropriate. I believe you can understand my difficulties!"

Zhang Jinbao weighed for a long time, but still felt that the overall situation should be put first, and he could not offend a partner of the level of Fulifeng for the sake of immediate interests.

This actually means that Guo Huan’s proposal is difficult to achieve the best of both worlds, which is equivalent to politely rejecting him. Guo Huan was naturally disappointed when he heard such a reply, but he still hoped to get some business from Zhang Jinbao: "Dean Zhang

, you still need to spend a lot of money to prepare for the branch, and it may not be easy to ask Furifeng. Maybe you can consider borrowing money from our Guangzhou branch."

There is some truth in this statement. Zhang Jinbao is a tactful person. Naturally, he does not want to say everything in front of Guo Huan. He nodded immediately and said: "Shopkeeper Guo is still thoughtful. If there is a need for large amounts of money in the future, then it is estimated that

I really need to trouble shopkeeper Guo!"

Zhang Jinbao now knows that the main purpose of Guo Huan's door-to-door sales promotion is to use the case of Qiongxi Academy as an example for publicizing the loan business in the future. This is not necessarily a bad intention, and it can indeed solve the problem for Qiongxi Academy.

There are some practical problems with funds. In this case, he doesn't mind maintaining this network of contacts, maybe it will come in handy in a few days.

In comparison, Annan's progress seems to be much smoother than that of Zhang Jinbao. Zheng Zha had already put forward the request for a location near the Haihan Guangdong Office, and this only required Chen Tianqi from the Guangdong Office to nod, and Furifeng

He can solve the problem of land acquisition on his behalf. In this way, he no longer needs to look for a place in Guangzhou and only needs to wait to meet with Chen Tianqi to discuss it.

Although it may be necessary to build various buildings for the Guangdong-based agency in the future, this is not a problem for Annan people with sufficient budgets. It is just a construction period that requires a certain amount of time.

Zheng Zha didn't wait too long. He met Chen Tianqi on the third day after he arrived in Guangzhou. It was the first time for the two to meet, but Zheng Zha didn't feel restrained. He had been dealing with senior figures in Haihan for a long time and had already adapted to it.

He learned about the social style and work methods of senior Haihan officials. Although Chen Tianqi has lived in Guangzhou for a long time, in Zheng Zha's view, his style of conversation is still no different from those of senior Haihan officials in Sanya.

"Annan wants to strengthen trade with the Guangzhou area and set up a permanent agency to regulate private trade activities. I personally am happy to see this happen." Chen Tianqi paused here and changed the topic slightly:

"But... Annan has no precedent of setting up official institutions overseas before, which makes people a little worried about whether there will be some problems during the actual operation. I don't know if the young prince talked to the executive committee when he was in Sanya before.

Have you discussed this?"

As soon as Zheng Zha heard this, he knew that Chen Tianqi was also a typical Haihan bureaucrat. He would first say a few words for the occasion, and then demand that the procedures be complete, otherwise he would definitely push back and delay the matter.

Zheng Zha responded: "When I was in Sanya before, I discussed this matter with the adults on the executive committee, and they did not express any objections."

Zheng Zha's statement was very subtle. "No objection" meant that he did not oppose Annan's move. But to Chen Tianqi's ears, it was just "no objection", which meant that the executive committee did not encourage this matter. Otherwise, Zheng Zha

Such remarks will surely be used as evidence. The attitude shown by the Executive Committee at that time may have been just for the sake of the allies and they did not object.

How to understand the attitude of the Executive Committee and how to grasp the scale is a test of Chen Tianqi's official art. Chen Tianqi thinks that the attitude of the Executive Committee is ambiguous, but it is certainly not firmly opposed to this matter, otherwise he should send a telegram to notify

I tried to prevent this from happening in Guangzhou.

In this case, there is no need for Chen Tianqi to be this evil person. But considering the attitude of the executive committee, he cannot let the Annan people do it too smoothly and find an excuse to delay, lest the superiors think that he has received the Annan people.

What benefits will actively promote the implementation of this matter.

"Since the young prince has already greeted the executive committee, there is no problem. But I would like to ask, does the young prince have any specific ideas about the setup and future operation of this organization?" Chen Tianqi met the executive committee.

This shield was not that easy to use, so I immediately started looking for other ways to achieve my goal.

Zheng Zha had already considered this, and when he heard the words, he responded confidently: "This Guangzhou-based agency plans to operate in the manner of a guild hall, so that Annan businessmen who come to Guangzhou can have a place to stay, and also allow local businessmen to have opportunities.

Understand the situation about Annan. As for the issue of lack of experience mentioned by Mr. Chen just now, I plan to learn more from the Office in Guangdong under Mr. Chen, so after discussing with Mr. Li from Furifeng, I plan to visit the Office in Guangzhou nearby.

Buy a piece of land somewhere to do this."

Chen Tianqi nodded slightly and said: "It is a smart choice to operate it as a private institution like a guild hall. However, there are not many Annan businessmen coming to Guangzhou at present. If an Annan guild hall is to be established, it will be difficult not to be attracted by Guangzhou

The government noticed that they were not necessarily happy to see such an institution appear in the Guangzhou market."

Chen Tianqi couldn't use Haihan's name to delay the Annan people's plan, so he had no choice but to find someone else to play bad guy, and the local government was obviously the most suitable.

The feud between the Ming Dynasty and Annan has lasted for more than two hundred years. Now that the Ming Dynasty has no time to take care of itself, Annan is bent on seeking to break away from the nominal control of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that there is a conflict in the general sense. Annan wants to set up a permanent office in the Ming Dynasty on his own.

, even under the banner of a private organization, it is indeed difficult not to attract the attention of the local government. If this is used as an excuse to cause some trouble for the Annan people, it seems reasonable and reasonable.

The Haihan Office in Guangzhou has been established in Guangzhou for ten years, and there are many connections in the local official circles. If Chen Tianqi does a little bit of planning, someone will naturally come forward to do these things.

When Zheng Zha heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that although he was not afraid of the Ming Dynasty, if the local government wanted to set up obstacles for the agencies in Guangdong, it would be a difficult problem to solve.

"If the government wants to intervene...then we probably have to ask Fu Ruifeng and Mr. Chen to mediate." Zheng Zha had no choice but to think of this method. However, he never expected that Li Jifeng and Chen Tianqi were in front of him.

, in fact, they don’t really want to promote the establishment of the Annan Guild Hall. Asking them to mediate with the government on their behalf is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Naturally, Chen Tianqi did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed. Anyway, it would be up to him to decide how to discuss it with the government.

Chen Tianqi asked again: "How long do you plan to stay in Guangzhou this time? If you have enough time, you can have a good time in Guangzhou. The delicious food and beautiful scenery here are really worth enjoying."

Zheng Zha obviously didn't realize Chen Tianqi's purpose, and responded honestly: "I'm busy with worldly affairs, so I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the happiness here for a long time. Once the affairs of the guild hall are finalized, I will probably have to embark on the return journey, at most.

Just ten days and a half month!”

When Chen Tianqi heard what he said, he already knew something in his heart. When Zheng Zha was in Guangzhou, he followed his intention and confirmed the early matters. After he left, he asked the local government to come forward and delay the matter.

Delay the procedures of the Annan Guild Hall. In this way, Zheng Zha will not be offended, but he will be able to submit a message to the executive committee.

In fact, Haihan is not opposed to Annan's establishment of official overseas offices. The key point lies in the place where the organization is established. If Annan wants to set up a guild hall in Hong Kong, Haihan will probably not say anything.

It was approved, and some care was even given in terms of special land use.

But now Annan's plan is to set up a permanent agency in Daming. Although Zheng Zha very wisely wants to put the embassy under the nose of the Haihan Liaison Office in Guangdong and accept supervision, in Chen Tianqi's view, this institution has already formed a relationship with the Liaison Office in Guangdong.

With the de facto competitive relationship, it is very likely that some of the business resources that originally belonged to Haihan will be taken away after the opening. But the benefits to Haihan? There does not seem to be any practical benefits at all.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of this organization is to promote the prosperity of Annan and Guangzhou, but it has no practical benefits for Haihan. Chen Tianqi naturally does not want to be a good man and promote this matter. And Li Jifeng even thinks that the purpose of the Annan people in planning this matter is not simple.

, perhaps preparing for further follow-up actions, so he did not want Furifeng to get involved too deeply. Zheng Zha's activities in Guangzhou seemed to be going smoothly, but he did not know that his plan would be stranded as soon as it was implemented.

It is difficult for the so-called Annan Hall to open in Guangzhou as smoothly as he thought.

Zhang Jinbao was received by Chen Tianqi the day after this, but he was not received alone, but together with several other Haihan businessmen who had recently come to the port to ask for an audience with Chen Tianqi. They just sat down to drink a cup of tea and chat for a few words.

It's so bad that they don't even have meals arranged.

Of course, these people, including Zhang Jinbao, are not dissatisfied with this. Being able to be received by senior officials from Haihan in Guangzhou is already a rare treat for them. Who cares if a banquet is arranged?

.

Chen Tianqi did remember to ask about the progress of Zhang Jinbao's local inspections, but Zhang Jinbao was still looking for a suitable place at this time, so there was no progress. Chen Tianqi expressed some concern and asked him to come to the Guangdong Office if anything happened.

Asking for help is considered to be the end of the process.
