Chapter 2253
The cost of compiling this book by Qiongxi Academy was not too high. The investment was only a few thousand yuan. Most of it was paid to the writing fees of several leading writers, and the rest was the writing, binding, pen and ink. The cost of paper and sending it to the Ministry of Culture and Education for review has been eliminated.
Although Zhang Jinbao himself is the signed editor-in-chief, he is actually only responsible for reviewing the manuscripts and putting forward some opinions. He does not personally participate in the writing of the content. He holds this title mainly to facilitate subsequent operations. After all, only Zhang Jinbao could do it to send this book to Sanya for review by the Ministry of Culture and Education, or even to secure subsequent official publication opportunities. For this book to be officially published and distributed now, Zhang Jinbao has indeed made the greatest contribution and is worthy of the title of "Editor-in-Chief".
Now that the official is going to publish this book, and big businessmen from all over the world are underwriting it, the initial compilation costs should be able to be recovered smoothly, and perhaps some profits will be made in the future. However, Zhang Jinbao did not originally organize the writing of this book to make money. He had even been prepared to lose money. The ability to maintain capital exceeded his expectations.
Rather than making money from this book, Zhang Jinbao is more concerned about getting the attention of the top management of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and using this to obtain more resources for Qiongxi Academy. At the moment, it seems that the benefits that will be gained from this are not limited to this. Zhang Jinbao can also take this opportunity to establish relationships with the businessmen present. The resources these people can provide may not be much worse than those of the government.
For example, Fulifeng, the company behind Li Nai, is a top businessman in Guangdong and Guangxi. If he can establish a good relationship with him, Zhang Jinbao may really have a chance to expand his education industry beyond Danzhou.
In fact, there were industries under the name of Fulifeng in the Danzhou area, but in the past there was no direct intersection between Qiongxi Academy and Fulifeng, so Zhang Jinbao had no chance to establish relationships with business celebrities like Li Nai.
The current occasion was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. After Ning Qi finished talking about this and went to find other people to discuss other projects, Zhang Jinbao took the initiative to greet Li Nai and expressed his hope to cooperate in publishing this book. On the basis of this, we will seek cooperation with Furifeng on a larger scale.
"Oh? I wonder if Dean Zhang has any good suggestions?" Li Nai was slightly surprised when he heard Zhang Jinbao's words, but he didn't mind spending some time listening to the other person's suggestions. The field of education is an unexplored blank area for Furifeng, and Li Nai happens to be a person who likes to explore new things.
Zhang Jinbao said: "To be honest, I want to open a branch in Guangzhou, but I am not familiar with the local situation, so I hope to find a strong partner."
Considering the status of the other party, Zhang Jinbao was worried that Li Nai would not be patient enough to listen to him slowly introduce the situation, so he explained the situation straight to the point. As for the matter of opening a branch in Guangzhou, because it involves too many aspects, it is only at the level of his personal imagination, and he has not yet conducted detailed discussions with other administrators of the academy. But the opportunity was rare at the moment. Zhang Jinbao believed that he had to launch a significant project to attract Li Nai's attention, so he directly announced the projects he was still planning.
"Opening an academy in Guangzhou? This is quite interesting!" Li Nai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. The project proposed by Zhang Jinbao was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.
Many of the employees in the various industries operated by Fulifeng in Hainan Island came from this academy. Therefore, Li Nai also knew a little bit about Qiongxi Academy and knew that this academy is used to train various professionals. He is famous for his talents and is quite famous in Haihan Kingdom. However, Li Nai's knowledge of the specific scale of the school is not so clear.
As a Haihan educational institution, Qiongxi Academy actually thought of opening a semicolon in the Ming Dynasty. This idea made the well-informed Li Nai feel a little strange.
Li Naidao said: "I wonder if Dean Zhang has considered the difference in education methods between the Ming Dynasty and Haihan Academy? With all due respect, if Haihan Academy moves to the Ming Dynasty, it is likely to be acclimatized!"
Zhang Jinbao said: "Young master three, do you mean the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Nai nodded and said: "That's right. The Ming Dynasty selected talents through the imperial examinations held by the imperial court. To study in the Ming Dynasty, you have to study the Confucian classics and history, and you only need to study the Confucian classics and history. This is in line with the practical teaching advocated by your country. There is an obvious difference. I heard that Qiongxi Academy is good at this. If this method is applied to the Ming Dynasty, it may be difficult to attract students.”
What Li Nai said is indeed an objective fact. The two countries have different definitions of "talent", and there are also some differences in the selection system. The educational system designed by Haihan officials is mainly to meet the needs of the country's rapid development, and is more inclined to It aims at training practical professionals, rather than literati who can only write eight-legged essays.
Educational institutions like Qiongxi Academy that focus on vocational training are, to put it bluntly, to quickly provide Haihan with a large number of industrial workers who have mastered basic production skills. This orientation is obviously inconsistent with the educational institutions of the Ming Dynasty that aim to cultivate future bureaucrats. Same.
Most of the Ming Dynasty's literati studied hard in order to be named on the gold list, and then broke through the class and became a master. However, the employment-oriented teaching content and direction of Qiongxi Academy obviously could not meet the needs of Ming Dynasty literati. Therefore, Li Nai believed that Zhang Jinbao's plan did not fully take into account the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be difficult to succeed in running a school in Guangzhou.
Zhang Jinbao said: "What the third young master said makes sense. The actual situation in the Ming Dynasty is indeed the case. However, the purpose of running Qiongxi Academy is not to cultivate bureaucrats, but to provide opportunities for the people who have no chance to change their destiny through the imperial examination." Provide another option. They can learn a trade from Qiongxi Academy, and then use this trade to find a livelihood in Haihan Kingdom, and get a better life than before. In other words, we Qiong. The students that Xi Shuyuan wants to recruit are not the students who want to take the imperial examination.”
"Your suggestion... is somewhat novel!" Upon hearing this, Li Nai felt that what Zhang Jinbao said was not completely unreasonable. If the target group of Qiongxi Academy is not Ming Dynasty scholars, then maybe Zhang Jinbao's plan can be realized.
Zhang Jinbao saw that Li Nai's attitude had relaxed, so he continued: "I know that Furifeng's industry is spread all over the South China Sea, and the industries involved are even more extensive, and a large number of new people need to be recruited every year. If your company is willing to cooperate with Ji Shuyuan in running schools, Then we can train professional talents for Fulifeng in a targeted manner starting from the recruitment stage. This way, when your company recruits new people every year, you no longer have to spend a lot of time and resources to recruit people from various places. ”
Zhang Jinbao's words really spoke to Li Nai's heart. Fulifeng has expanded very rapidly in recent years. It is no longer a traditional business that only operates in the retail industry. Now it is involved in all aspects of social operation. A large number of new industries are put into operation every year. The demand for professionals is indeed a Not a small amount.
Although Fulifeng has recruited some graduates from Qiongxi Academy before, these positions are basically in Haihan. Many industries in Ming Dynasty that Fulifeng still needs to recruit personnel from within the country. But as long as it involves some positions that require professional skills, the recruitment process is often not smooth.
Zhang Jinbao's suggestion sounds like a very good solution. Having a professional institution like Qiongxi Academy train personnel in advance may be more effective than training them after they join the company. Of course, there are still many details that remain problematic, but at least it is relatively feasible.
Li Nai said: "It seems that Dean Zhang has thought it through quite carefully. Is there a written plan that I can take a look at? Maybe it will help me judge whether this plan is feasible." Zhang Jinbao's plan is all In his mind, he hadn't even started to put it into writing yet, but he didn't panic when he heard Li Nai's request. He nodded calmly and said: "As for the written plan, I am already in the process of drafting it. This time I come to Sanya." It has not been completed yet, so if the third young master is interested, he might as well wait until the activities here in Sanya are over and visit Danzhou for a few days, so that I can explain the general plan for opening the academy to the third young master in detail. "
< br>
Zhang Jinbao is not in a hurry to finalize the project here because he also knows that the plan to open a branch is just an idea that stays in his mind, and there are still many details that have not yet been perfected. If the discussion with Li Nai continues, they will inevitably talk about some problems that may arise in actual implementation, but Zhang Jinbao is not fully prepared for this. If he is questioned by the other party and does not know, then the project may be abandoned on the spot. Yellow.
So he decided to give it up as soon as it was ready, and come up with a delaying strategy to give himself more preparation time to perfect the plan. Even if he couldn't take care of it himself, he could at least have time to notify the academy and let his think tank quickly formulate a decent written plan.
Li Nai was silent for a moment, and then responded: "I thought about it for a while, and it seems that there is no important schedule after the martial arts competition. I should go to Danzhou."
Zhang Jinbao was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. He nodded and said: "Then I will ask the third young master to go to Danzhou with me. I will arrange the shipping date in advance."
Li Nai said: "It's not that troublesome. My boat is docked at Victory Port. Dean Zhang will go with me then. There will be plenty of time to discuss the specific operational details along the way."
Zhang Jinbao responded: "But I am bringing six students with me on this trip, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
"It doesn't matter. There are only seven people including the dean. Even if there are twice as many, I can still accommodate them on the boat. Where does dean Zhang live? Once things are done here and the departure date is set, I will send someone to inform you. "Sound." Li Nai didn't care and directly picked up Zhang Jinbao and his party's return trip.
Zhang Jinbao thought that this would save him a lot of travel expenses, so he quickly thanked Li Nai and informed him of the inn where he was staying in Sanya.
This time in Sanya, everything went smoothly, which made Zhang Jinbao very happy. He thought that after returning to Danzhou, he would go to Ningji Temple to burn incense and repay his vows, thanking the Bodhisattva for his blessing.
In another part of the banquet, two men stood together against the wall, talking quietly while observing the various people in the banquet hall. Both of them had a gloomy aura that kept strangers away from them, so no one around them took the initiative to approach them and talk to them.
The two seemed to be about the same age, but one of them was dressed as an Akito, so he was obviously a guest invited to the banquet.
Then I heard this man ask the man in Haihan costume next to him: "Master He, no one here knows me, right?"
The man he called Mr. He smiled and said: "Sir Xu, do you want to know more people or fewer people?"
The man surnamed Xu responded: "Master He is joking. Naturally, the fewer people who know us in our line of work, the better!"
Among the two people, He and Xu, one is He Xi, who is in charge of the Haihan Security Department, and the other is Xu Laosan, Xu Yuxing, who came to watch the competition on behalf of Fujian Xu Jiajun.
Xu Yuxing came to Sanya not just for this competition, but because he had another mission. After finishing his errands, he happened to have a meeting, so he stayed in Sanya to watch the competition on behalf of Xu Jiajun.
Xu Yuxing is in charge of military intelligence affairs in the Xu Jiajun, and he and He Xi can be regarded as most of the same colleagues. His mission to Sanya this time is related to intelligence work, so the two of them interacted with each other quite frequently during this period. Although the banquet was lively today, the two of them were used to doing things in the dark, and they were not willing to show up to attract attention on such occasions, so they found an inconspicuous place to stand and chat.
Of course, while chatting, the two of them were also secretly paying attention to the guests present. For those in their profession, this situation is the perfect environment for gathering intelligence. It's just that He Xi has many of his subordinates pretending to be service staff and security personnel in the field. He doesn't need to walk around to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. He can just stand on the sidelines and observe the situation.
Of course, Xu Yuxing could not arrange for his men to sneak into this occasion to inquire about the news, but he was still a little worried that his identity would be exposed prematurely. After all, Fei Cexian, the Ming Dynasty envoy, was also present. Although Xu Jiajun had long disobeyed the court's instructions, but It would be somewhat embarrassing to meet court officials on such occasions.
What's more, He Xi, the leader of Haihan intelligence, has been keeping an eye on him. Even if he wants to do something here, it is difficult to get rid of He Xi's surveillance. Xu Yuxing even had some doubts. With He Xi's identity, he didn't need to show up on such an occasion. Perhaps his purpose of attending this banquet was to find an excuse to keep an eye on him.
Although the two sides are very close allies, Xu Yuxing is not naive enough to think that the other party will have absolute trust in him. Being in this line of work means that you won't trust anyone, even your own allies, and he knows that He Xi, a colleague of his, should have the same view as him.
