Chapter 2547
Several young people who came to Hangzhou this time all shouldered their own tasks, but perhaps only Ning Zijing, who was outside the officialdom, had better luck. The temporary task he received was to come to Hangzhou to supervise and inspect Qiong Lianfa's large local transactions and ensure that these trade projects would not harm Qiong Lianfa's interests. The office in Hangzhou is extremely cooperative with this. Although the head shopkeeper Li Fa is still out of town, Yang Ji, the manager, has tried his best to meet Ning Zijing's requests and is ready to go. Qiong Lianfa's local transaction records for the past two years were available for him to check.
The reason why the agencies in Hangzhou are so cooperative is, of course, largely due to Ning Zijing’s identity and background. Whether it is his father or several nominal masters, they are all very prestigious figures in Haihan's political circles. For private business organizations with such backgrounds, they must not be offended.
Moreover, Ning Zijing came all the way to Hangzhou and did not have any specific trade projects to handle. It was obvious that he was a nobleman who came from Sanya to brush up his qualifications. The local person in charge was naturally willing to provide convenience to him, and everyone worked together to handle this errand. That’s it.
Compared with government agencies with a strict organizational structure, Qiong Lianfa's structure is much looser. In fact, it is still operated by more than a dozen large commercial banks. The external use of Qiong Lianfa's brand name is only more convenient for carrying out trade activities. For example, Qiong Lianfa's large tract of land in the outer circle of Hangzhou is obviously much more convenient than these commercial banks' separate efforts to acquire land, and the resulting commercial district will also have greater economies of scale in the operation process. And the benefits brought by practices like this in the production, procurement, transportation and other aspects of goods have brought great benefits to various businesses.
Of course, the official nature of Qionglianfa since its inception has also brought a lot of convenience to its business activities, so maintaining a good relationship with Haihan Official has been the consensus of major shareholders for many years. For a powerful kid like Ning Zijing to be willing to work in Qiong Lianfa, that is a valuable connection that he can only ask for. Not to mention inspecting trade projects, the major shareholders are even eager for him to participate directly, so that they can justifiably offer him the benefits. A benefit.
Everyone returned to the city at the agreed time and met again at the lunch place. Ning Zijing saw that the other people's expressions were not relaxed, so he took the initiative to ask about their progress. As expected, these people each encountered some obstacles, and it was not as smooth as they expected when they came.
Tao Hongfang said: "The office of the Ministry of Commerce is very willing to cooperate with the work, but the staffing and authority are not enough, and it is difficult to maintain comprehensive supervision of local trade. There may be gray areas where these regulatory measures are ineffective. There are special transactions that are not beneficial to our country.”
Ha Jianyi said: "Then the situation here is pretty good. I went to the local garrison camp and met the regiment leader who was not willing to cooperate with the work. I found that they had problems with retaining former Ming officers. , and tried to cover it up... I have to report this to Master Shi again to see if he has deceived his superiors."
Bai Letong sighed and said: "What you encounter are all trivial matters! It's really troublesome for me to deal with those old Confucian scholars. They hope that the imperial examinations can go on as usual, but the one who rules the world now is no longer Qian Ming. But the Haihan Dynasty is now implementing a new system. How can we still select talents according to the standards of the previous dynasty? ”
Ning Zijing said: "Isn't this year's provincial examination the responsibility of the Donghai Region Administrative Committee? And you are the special envoy sent by the Ministry of Culture and Education to Hangzhou to supervise the examination. Don't the people here follow your orders?"
Bai Letong said: "Things are not that simple. The Donghai Region has set up a rural examination office. However, due to the lack of professionals in this field, a group of veterans from the previous dynasty were invited to organize the preparations for the rural examination. These people do not admit that they are stubborn. The committee only recognizes Mr. Shi, and my official identity is not that easy to use. Moreover, many of these people are old bureaucracy, and they just talk about the important points and are not easy to deal with!"
Ning Zijing understood immediately, nodded and said: "It seems that you have to settle this matter with Master Shi." The problems they encountered were not easy to solve at this level, and as they It is also difficult for outsiders to direct local officials to do what they want, so in the end they may have to report the problem to Shi Diwen and seek help from their superiors.
Although they had anticipated some situations they might encounter on the way there and had planned some plans to deal with them, when the problems were actually faced, they realized that these situations might not be so easy to solve. In the past, when I was in Sanya, many things could be handled with a piece of official document or even a phone call, but these methods did not seem to be so easy to use in Hangzhou. Even their second-generation identity seems to have faded a lot here.
Wang Anguo, who has been away from home all year round, has a clearer understanding of the problems they encountered: "Everyone, the situation you encountered is actually not unusual, because the overseas environment is very different from Hainan Island. We believe that the conventional Rules may not necessarily be recognized by most people outside. Moreover, the people you come into contact with are all working for Haihan Country and the Executive Committee, but their interests are different from ours. ”
Wang Anguo said it more tactfully, but the young people present were also among the best, and they understood what he wanted to express as soon as they heard it.
Ha Jianyi said: "Brother An Guo, do you think that the way Commander Dai retained the former Ming officer in the Second Regiment of the Seventh Division that we visited earlier was because he had to consider his own interests?"
Wang Anguo said: "It may not only be his interests, but also the interests of more people. Since he claims that Master Shi also knows about this matter, it means that this approach is actually in Haihan's interests... You will never even Are you also suspicious of Mr. Shi’s position?”
Ha Jianyi did not directly respond to Wang Anguo's rhetorical question: "Whether it is in the interests of our country will only be known after I ask Mr. Shi later."
Wang Anguo smiled and did not continue to argue with him on this issue.
Tao Hongfang was silently listening to the discussion between the two men, but he was thinking in his heart that Wang Anguo's father, Wang Tom, had been friends with Shi Diwen for decades. It was said that Wang Anguo had been friends before his fathers settled in Sanya. As far as Shi Diwen is concerned, he is an uncle and nephew, and his personal relationship is far from comparable to his own. It is reasonable to prefer Shi Diwen's position.
