Chapter 1597 Difficulties
Seeing that the previous offer could not impress Xun Pengcheng, Zhang Jinbao did not hesitate to take out 20% of the shares of Qiongxi Academy in return. Xun Pengcheng could naturally feel his urgency from this, but why was Zhang Jinbao so eager to give Haifeng Poetry Society the property? Looking for a way out, before even realizing whether Xun Pengcheng said it was reliable, he decisively made such a generous promise, and then rushed to urge Xun Pengcheng to send a telegram to Sanya. What was the reason for such haste?
After Xun Pengcheng went through the twists and turns some time ago, he is no longer so easily tempted by interests. Even if Zhang Jinbao's conditions were difficult for him to refuse, he did not ignore these signs. Moreover, dragging Li Nai into the water is a big or small matter. If there is anything wrong with Zhang Jinbao, Li Nai can get away as long as he says hello to the executive committee, but he is not that capable. It is very difficult to get into the water. Maybe he won't be able to float. So before sending the telegram, he still had to find out the whole story about Zhang Jinbao's business.
"Brother Zhang, the telegram is not urgent for now. Can you tell me about the current operation status of your affairs? If I want to introduce it to others, I have to have some practical information, right?" Xun Pengcheng casually found a reason. Of course, this reason must be justified. After all, Xun Pengcheng was looking for a wealthy businessman with status and status. How could he get people to come to Danzhou from Sanya with just a few vague introductions.
Zhang Jinbao was silent for a moment before saying: "Brother Cheng, I think you should be a reliable person, so although you and I are not close friends, I still plan to ask you for help, and I hope you will not disappoint me!"

Xun Pengcheng responded: "As long as Brother Zhang is honest and honest, I will definitely help you with all my strength!" Of course, only Xun Pengcheng himself understands how much power the so-called full strength means. Even if he uses all his strength, whether he can invite Li Nai, the giant Buddha, still depends on luck to a large extent.
With someone like Li Nai, there will be a lot of things to deal with every time he comes to Sanya. Although these things do not require him to do it himself, they are often more important and need to be completed under his supervision. Xun Pengcheng knew that he did not have that much energy to make Furifeng's third young master put down what he was doing and come to Danzhou. After reaching the step of sending a telegram, the rest could only depend on luck. Of course, Zhang Jinbao needs to show more sincerity before that.
Zhang Jinbao sighed: "To be honest, brother, in order to maintain the operation of the Haifeng Poetry Society, the money invested in it in the past two years is not a small amount, and more than half of my property has been invested in it. If there is no big improvement, , not only will there be problems with the operation of the Haifeng Poetry Society, but even Qiongxi Academy may also be affected. Most of these projects have already had some prospects, and it would be a pity to abandon them midway. If they can get permission from the state to raise R&D funds from the outside, If the Haifeng Poetry Society can continue to operate, we may be able to overcome the difficulties.”
Zhang Jinbao's words were very sincere and there was no pretense at all. Xun Pengcheng couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a while, so he thought about it and said, "Is there any proof for what Brother Zhang said?"
Zhang Jinbao smiled bitterly and said: "Excuse me, brother, don't move around. I'll come as soon as I go."
Not long after, Zhang Jinbao came back with a document, handed it to Xun Pengcheng and said, "Brother, you can take a look at this."
Xun Pengcheng opened the cover and glanced twice, then looked at Zhang Jinbao and said, "Real estate mortgage?"
"Yes, this is the document mortgaged to the bank by Fengming Villa." Zhang Jinbao responded calmly: "Actually, this villa was built only two years ago, and I haven't enjoyed it much. Now in order to raise funds to maintain the Haifeng Poetry Society and Qiongxi Academy To operate, we can only mortgage it to the bank at a discount and borrow a sum of money to turn over.”
Xun Pengcheng looked at the document in hand again. It was stamped with the seal of Haihan Bank. This thing was not something that could be copied casually. If caught, it would be a death penalty. Xun Pengcheng believed that with Zhang Jinbao's identity, he would definitely not go there. Doing this extremely risky business. This document can basically prove what Zhang Jinbao just said. He already needs to mortgage the property in his name to borrow money from the bank. This is indeed a relatively embarrassing situation.
After Zhang Jinbao fully revealed his financial situation, Xun Pengcheng had no reason to continue to refuse. Immediately, Zhang Jinbao took him to a study room, and then Xun Pengcheng wrote the letter. The two discussed and wrote a letter, which Zhang Jinbao sent to the telegraph office in Danzhou City for dispatch. Of course Li Nai's name was mentioned in this letter, but Zhang Jinbao was so knowledgeable that he knew who Li Nai was without Xun Pengcheng's explanation. In order to gain Li Nai's trust, Xun Pengcheng could no longer contact him with a false identity and could only give his real name. In this way, Li Nai might think of the little bit of love in the Express newspaper office and carefully process the information carried by this telegram.
"It turns out that Brother Cheng has a false identity and should be Brother Xun! Unexpectedly, Brother Xun is actually friends with Furifeng's third son. Now things will be much easier to handle."
Although Xun Pengcheng had been deceived by Xun Pengcheng in the name of Cheng Peng for a long time, and even to the point of calling him brother and brother, Zhang Jinbao didn't have any embarrassment on his face. Because in his opinion, it was reasonable for Xun Pengcheng to use a pseudonym for safety when he came to an unfamiliar environment alone. The fact that he showed his real name and sent a telegram at this time also shows that the other party is cautious about this matter. It's just that Zhang Jinbao never imagined that Xun Pengcheng and Li Nai were not friends. Li Nai probably knew about his existence after the Express accident. It can be said that the two had no personal relationship. Sending this telegram to Sanya was really just a matter of luck.
After settling this matter, Zhang Jinbao stopped going to the hall to greet others, and left Xun Pengcheng to dine alone to discuss the details of cooperation. But Xun Pengcheng was a complete layman in scientific research, and if Li Nai didn't come forward, he wouldn't have enough energy to get through the government's joints and run projects such as investment promotion conferences alone.
Therefore, Xun Pengcheng still behaved very low-key and was not dazzled by Zhang Jinbao's praise. He told Zhang Jinbao that the matter could only wait for a call back from Sanya, but if Li Nai was busy with official duties or had already left, If we go to Sanya, then this matter may not be possible for the time being.
Zhang Jinbao expressed his gratitude repeatedly, asked Xun Pengcheng where he currently lives in Danzhou, and invited him to move to Fengming Villa temporarily so that he could contact him more easily. Xun Pengcheng thought to himself that your villa has been mortgaged to the bank. Maybe one day the country will take over the property if the money is not paid. It feels a bit unlucky to live here. Immediately he declined politely. However, the address of the inn was still given to Zhang Jinbao so that the two of them could discuss things together in case Sanya called back.
Zhang Jinbao did not force himself. When Xun Pengcheng was about to leave the villa, he specially prepared four-color pastries and two bottles of wine for him. He now knows that Xun Pengcheng is not short of money, and since he has made friends like Li Nai, he may also be a person from a wealthy family who has come out to experience, so he will not give expensive gifts anymore, just treat them as gifts. A piece of heart. When Xun Pengcheng returned to his residence in the city, he felt that the experience of this day was very magical. He suddenly remembered something, so he called the waiter sent by the inn to serve him into the room and asked him: "Before I went out this morning, you told me about the poetry meeting, but someone instructed you to ask the guests Recommended? ”
The guy was very slick, neither admitting nor denying it, just pretending that he didn't know. Xun Pengcheng was used to dealing with all kinds of religions. When he saw this, he knew that this was a way to ask for benefits. He took out the money and put it on the table: "If you speak up, you will get a reward."
As expected, the waiter was so excited about the money that he immediately admitted that someone had come to the inn to say hello. If he met a wealthy guest from out of town, he could try to recommend him to the poetry meeting announced on the street notice board. As long as the person concerned attended it. , the guy gets paid afterwards. Xun Pengcheng almost didn't need to ask any more questions, and he was basically sure that this was Zhang Jinbao's method.
However, the effect of this secretive method is obviously not ideal. The number of foreign wealthy people who first came to Danzhou is limited, and among them, at most 23 out of 10 are interested in activities such as poetry and cultural gatherings. And the few people who are still interested in going there after reading the official notice of Haifeng Poetry Society are even rarer. There may only be single-digit candidates. In order to find a project that matches their interests during the event, they have to spend money to invest. The chance of this series of situations happening is really slim.
If he hadn't met someone with whimsical ideas like Xun Pengcheng, this slightly dull routine might have continued like this until Zhang Jinbao went bankrupt or was targeted by a special government agency such as the Ministry of Security. Then he started to pick up people and dismantled this so-called poetry club that was selling sheep over dogs. Zhang Jinbao may have his own skills in running the academy and attracting talents, but he does not have as many ideas as Xun Pengcheng, who has seen various business methods in Sanya, on how to transform these research projects into industries and achieve profitable operations.
Moreover, Zhang Jinbao’s official connections are almost all in Danzhou, and he cannot do much to deal with such matters that require the nod and approval of the executive committee. Therefore, even if he does not completely believe in Xun Pengcheng, there is no other life-saving straw at the moment, so he can only He can treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
However, Zhang Jinbao probably didn't expect that Xun Pengcheng, who looked very calm, was actually even more unsure than he was. Xun Pengcheng was not even half sure whether he would receive a reply from Li Nai, nor did he think Zhang Jinbao's current situation could be changed. However, he did not accept Zhang Jinbao's benefits, so he had no obligation to promise the other party that it would be done. Xun Pengcheng planned to wait for three days at most. If he didn't receive a reply within three days, the matter could be declared a waste.
The words were divided into two parts. The telegram funded by Zhang Jinbao had arrived at the Sanya Telegraph Bureau that afternoon. The telegram signal was transferred from the sending and receiving room to the compilation room, where it was restored to the content of the letter, and then sent to the sorting and delivery office. , after manual sorting, they were handed over to the telegraph office's own riders to deliver the letters door-to-door.
The delivery address of this telegram is the Furifeng office in Haihan, which is the large store with the best location on Shengli Avenue. As soon as you enter Victory Avenue, it is difficult to ignore the billboard with the three characters "Furuifeng" that is more than ten feet in size on the roof of the store.
This store has undergone three reconstruction and expansion projects since it was built. Now it covers an area about four times larger than when it was first built. There are more than 50 people working in this store all year round. The various businesses operated by Fulifeng on Hainan Island also include peripheral industries such as Sanya Express that were not directly involved in operations after being acquired by Fulifeng.
A small courtyard was specially built in the business inn for Li Nai to live during his stay in Sanya. Of course, Li Nai may not always stay in the business hotel every time he comes. He has another property in Sanya itself. Sometimes when he is bored, he will even apply to stay at the Guest House of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a few days. Xun Pengcheng had studied Furifeng's information in order to write news. He knew that the location of this store was of great significance to Furifeng, but he never thought that this information would one day come in handy.
The rider responsible for delivering the telegram quickly arrived at the Fulifeng Store on Victory Avenue and handed the telegram to the concierge here. Since the telegram cover had the word "urgent" written on it, the concierge didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly took the hot potato to the backyard and handed it over to a certain master.
When the master saw that in addition to the word "urgent" on the cover, his son's name was also written on it, he immediately sent the telegram to Li Nai's study. However, at this time, Li Nai had already gone to Fort Victory on business and was not at the store, so the telegram stayed on Li Nai's desk until the evening, when it was finally opened by the person involved.
This is probably the longest telegram Li Nai has ever received, because the content is a thousand-word essay, which is completely opposite to ordinary telegrams that strive to be concise and concise to the extreme. From this, Li Nai could also judge that the person who sent this telegram was obviously a friend who was not sensitive to price. Such a thousand-word article was quite rare just based on the number of words.
Compared with the slightly exaggerated word count of the telegram, Li Nai was more interested in the authenticity and reliability of the content. In the article, the sender described the cultural and educational undertakings in Danzhou and the special operations of the Haifeng Poetry Society he encountered. model, and even listed several projects that are currently beginning to bear fruit.
With Li Nai's temperament, he would naturally not be willing to rest on his past achievements, and this way of operating private scientific research was also an extremely new thing for him. What surprised him the most was that the author of this telegram was actually the reporter who resigned from the Express newspaper some time ago. When Li Nai arrived in Sanya, Xun Pengcheng had already resigned, so the two did not meet each other. Li Nai didn't even know whether he was fat or thin, or what his appearance was. But he didn't expect that this former employee would return in this way and appear in front of him again.
