Chapter 1017 Founding Celebration (Seventeen)

Ning Qi remembered that when he went to Danzhou to inspect Qiongxi Academy last month, Zhang Jinbao had mentioned to him that he wanted to open a professional training class related to steam engines. However, at this stage, Haihan officials would definitely not open this to private educational institutions. He had training qualifications for confidential projects, so Ning Qi clearly told him that this path would not work. Less than a month later, this piece of gold treasure came to Sanya from Danzhou. Could it be that he was still unwilling to give up his original plan?

Ning Qi had a lot of things at hand, and of course he had no interest in taking the initiative to ask about such trivial matters. He said that he could arrange a simple entrance test for these students as soon as possible. If they passed, they would stay in Sanya to further their studies. After finishing speaking, Ning Qi served tea to see the guests off. Zhang Jinbao probably didn't expect that the meeting would end so quickly, so he had to say that he still had something to report.

"Still what you said last time in Danzhou?" Ning Qi frowned slightly impatiently: "If it's about the steam engine, then there's no need to talk about it. I already said it last time, this matter can't be rushed. ”

Seeing the displeasure on Ning Qi's face, Zhang Jinbao responded quickly: "I'm not here for this, but I have other matters that I want to ask the chief for instructions."

Ning Qi's face brightened slightly, and he asked Zhang Jinbao to continue. Zhang Jinbao asked several students to wait outside first, preventing them from continuing to listen.

After the students went out, Zhang Jinbao said: "When the chief inspected Qiongxi Academy last time, he mentioned to the villain that he would expand the scale of education and even open branches to other states and counties. The villain later considered it carefully. I think it is feasible, but Qiongxi Academy has limited teachers and it is still difficult to open a branch, so I boldly came to Sanya to ask for some help from the chief.”

When Ning Qi heard that this was the case, he felt relieved. When he inspected Qiongxi Academy, he did encourage Zhang Jinbao and asked him to consider opening a branch in other places. After all, there are double-digit academies in Danzhou alone, and competition among educational institutions is too fierce. Qiongxi Academy targets students from poor families, and its approach is vocational training. Compared with other academies, it should have greater development space. However, Ning Qi also knew that Qiongxi Academy's foundation was limited and there were many difficulties in opening a chain institution, so he did not expect Zhang Jinbao to implement it immediately. But he didn't expect that when he said this, Zhang Jinbao took it seriously and planned to take care of the matter.

Supporting private educational institutions is one of Haihan official's established policies. Ning Qi was also happy to see the results, so he asked Zhang Jinbao: "Then what are your plans now and what help do you need?"

Zhang Jinbao responded: "I have thought about it carefully. The educational institutions in Sanya and Danzhou on Hainan Island are the most concentrated, while there are relatively few in other states and counties. If we want to open branches, we should choose Haikou City or Changhua is suitable for these two places. In particular, the local smelting industry in Changhua is booming, with nearly 10,000 employees, and there are many school-age children. The income of local families is generally limited, and one family cannot afford to support several scholars, such as Qiongxi Academy. This approach is very suitable for the local situation. The academy already has a smelting major. If a branch is opened locally, I believe the local government will provide support.”

Zhang Jinbao saw Ning Qi nodding slightly after hearing this. He knew that he must have hit the mark, and his nervousness eased a little. He continued, "But it costs a lot to open an academy, and I have limited financial resources. But we can’t produce that much at once. In addition, the academy’s teaching staff is slightly insufficient, and if we want to open a branch, it will definitely be difficult to do so.”

Ning Qi said: "As for the teachers, I can find a way to allocate manpower to you, but the cost problem is not easy to solve. If the Ministry of Culture and Education funds it, your school will become a government-run school, and you probably won't be happy to accept it."< br>


Zhang Jinbao said: "The villain has already inquired about this matter. Haihan Bank can apply for the loan, but what they need is not only a physical mortgage, but also a project approval document issued by the Ministry of Culture and Education. This physical mortgage is easier to talk about. , the villain just used the property of Qiongxi Academy as a mortgage, but with the official approval, the Danzhou Management Committee could not handle the matter, so he could only come to Sanya to seek help from the chief.”

Ning Qi thought that this gold treasure was really thoughtful, and he had already planned all these things. He was willing to take out the property of Qiongxi Academy as a mortgage, which showed how determined he was in this matter. In this case, Ning Qi couldn't shirk it any longer, and immediately said: "It's really a blessing for Hainan students that Zhang Shanzhang is so dedicated to education! Let's do this. You can write a detailed written plan and give it to me. After I read it, Just issue a formal approval document.”

"The villain has already written the draft, and Chief Lao has reviewed it." Zhang Jinbao took out a bound book from his luggage, held it in both hands and handed it to Ning Qi respectfully.

Of course, Ning Qi would not rush to see it right away. Even if some things are easy, they should not be done too quickly. Otherwise, the people below will think that the matter is not difficult at all, and the troubles that will come to his door will only increase in the future. . Although Zhang Jinbao's attitude is correct, he still needs to be in place. Otherwise, this guy will go back with the approval document and brag about his trip to Sanya, and let Ning Qi from the executive committee obediently sign the approval document. Wouldn't that be too unruly? The majesty of the leader.

Ning Qi took it and put it on the table: "Okay, you write this, and I will take time to read it. You take the students back to rest first, and I will arrange for the staff to contact you later."
< br>

This time Zhang Jinbao didn't dare to delay any longer. He stood up and thanked him profusely before leaving. Most of his goal of coming to Sanya this time has been completed, and all personnel have been exhausted. The rest will have to wait for fate and news.

Ning Qi was not in a hurry to deal with this matter at the moment. There were still many things at the summit that he needed to personally participate in. In the afternoon agenda, he will take the stage to give a speech, which is about “proposing to strengthen cultural exchanges and people-to-people exchanges between countries.” This includes inviting students from various countries to send overseas students to Sanya to learn Haihan’s unique culture and technology. He will also Try to establish colleges in other friendly countries to help cultivate educated professionals there. Zhang Jinbao also met at the right time and brought some new inspiration to Ning Qi. For example, in areas in other countries where it is inconvenient for Haihan officials to come forward directly, private educational institutions like Zhang Jinbao can take the lead in running schools and slowly penetrate the culture.

As a time traveler from hundreds of years later, Ning Qi is very clear about the role of non-governmental organizations and non-profit organizations in the field of public management. The convenience of these non-governmental organizations in transnational activities far exceeds that of the official government, as long as they are used reasonably. , these organizations can do many things that are inconvenient for officials to come forward. And as a veteran who has been working in the education industry for many years, Ning Qi has always believed that culture and education play an irreplaceable role in consolidating national unity and enhancing the national sense of identity.

Judging from the development trajectory of Haihan, the national structure of this country has been composed of multiple ethnic groups from the beginning. With its own development and the continuous arrival of external immigrants, there are more and more different ethnic groups among the nationals, and the population composition and Cultural backgrounds will also become increasingly complex. How to bring immigrants from various countries together and allow them to have a sufficient sense of identity with the existing Hainan national identity has always been an issue of great concern to the Executive Committee. Regarding this issue, Ning Qi more agrees with Han Yu's opinion in "Yuan Dao": Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" also states that the princes use barbarian rituals to barbarize them, and the barbarians to advance into China will be treated by China. This means that Zhou rites are used as the standard. If the words and deeds conform to the "rituals", Yi Di can also be regarded as Chinese, and vice versa, China can also be regarded as Yi Di.

Of course, this view is different from the theory of "when barbarians enter, barbarians enter Xia, Xia becomes Xia" invented by Xu Heng, who later served for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, to discuss the legitimacy of the Mongolian Yuan regime. Ningqi does not agree that barbarian peoples imitate the rule of the Han people. The method is to inherit the Han family's orthodoxy, but to believe that with the Han family's culture, it is completely possible to assimilate foreign races and make them identify with their new identity and become qualified Hai-Han citizens. To achieve the desired results, the two most effective means are publicity and education.

After Haihan's organizational department adjustment this year, the original publicity department also merged its functions into the current Ministry of Culture and Education. Ningqi is in charge of publicity and education, which is convenient. What Ning Qi wants to do is not only popularize basic education in Haihan, but also try to promote Haihan's cultural and education system abroad, and use this to instill Haihan's values ​​​​in other "Yidi" countries.

The financial, material, and manpower investment required for this method is naturally not a small amount, but considering that the results are worth looking forward to, most people in the executive committee also agree with this approach. The rulers of this era often do not have the concept of "cultural invasion" and lack vigilance against penetration into the cultural field. Moreover, some neighboring countries have now reached the level of "admiration" for Haihan and are willing to send students Most of them came from powerful families to receive training at Haihan's school, so it was worthy of Haihan to invest resources in brainwashing them.

Zhang Jinbao's plan provides a new idea for Ning Qi to promote education overseas, that is, in addition to taking the upper-class elite route, the field of education can also try a people-friendly route. Zhang Jinbao’s vocational training school focuses on cultivating professional technicians. If schools can be opened abroad in the future, these majors can be adjusted according to Haihan’s needs. The trained technicians will be directly recommended to various workshops owned by Haihan for employment. More industrial workers can be obtained at lower labor costs.

Ning Qi only had a rough idea and found that there was a lot of work to be done here, but it was not easy to operate by his own department alone, so he returned to the venue and called Schneider aside during the lunch break to discuss the matter in the morning. I had to tell him about my meeting with Zhang Jinbao.

After hearing this, Schneider responded: "Since the academy you mentioned has plans to open a chain store, it is certainly worth supporting. I don't see any problem with the loan. I will say hello to the people below and go to Danzhou later. Just go through the formalities.”

Ning Qi said: "This person has quite some ideas. I'm thinking about whether I can package this matter properly, and then promote it to foreign regions as a representative of Haihan private education institutions."

"Are you planning to let him go abroad to open a chain store?" Schneider couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "That's awesome, my teacher Ning! If this path can work out, it would be a good deal, which can both export the education industry and gain benefits. The skilled labor force serves multiple purposes!”

Ning Qi smiled and said: "It's definitely a good thing, but I'm just not sure now. If we want to promote it abroad, how much will it cost? This is a private educational institution. Even if it doesn't make money, it can't be allowed to lose money. , if the cost is too high, then you have to think about it. ”

Schneider said: "It won't be very cheap, but it's not as serious as you think. It's just that the academy you mentioned is a piece of property in Danzhou. Even if he mortgages it all, how much can he mortgage? In my opinion, See, it might be better for the government to take a stake, which might be easier to operate.”

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "If the official takes a stake, the nature will change. Even allies will be somewhat wary of our official institutions. It is easier for private institutions to act."

Schneider shook his head and said: "The official investment is not for the Ministry of Culture and Education or Haihan Bank to use money to buy shares. This matter only requires a few twists and turns and the procedures should be done more cleanly. If you don't say it, even if Zhang Jinbao doesn't say it, outsiders won't either. Knowing the source of these funds, you would not have thought that Haihan Official shares were among them. If you are really worried, you can set a timetable early. When his chain organization has established a foothold abroad, the official will withdraw its capital in installments. ”

Ning Qi was still a little hesitant: "I just don't know if I can convince Zhang Jinbao to accept our arrangement..."

Schneider said: "Teacher Ning, why are you so stubborn? Zhang Jinbao doesn't want to do it. We can also ask Li Jinbao and Wang Jinbao to do it! What is your purpose? Isn't it just to find a shell of a private education institution? Help us achieve our official goals? If we really can’t find a suitable shell, then we can just build one ourselves. You don’t know how many business owners are lining up to do business with us, so you don’t have to worry about finding one. Not a partner ”

Ning Qi listened to Schneider's relaxed words, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm not worried that you can't find anyone to cooperate. It's just that the operation of this educational institution is not like doing business. There must be knowledgeable people to operate it. . Besides, this private educational institution only provides vocational training and cannot make as much money as you do in business.”

Schneider joked: "Mr. Ning, you are still a veteran in the industry for many years. You can say it with your eyes closed that educational institutions cannot make money. I am convinced! How about you leave this matter to me to run it and guarantee it for two years?" What do you think of making a profit in three years?”

Ning Qi shook his head repeatedly and said: "Forget it then. If you take it, you will turn the academy into a store. If you only care about money, how can you teach and educate people!"
