1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1017 Founding Ceremony (Seventeen)

Ning Qi recalled that when he visited Qiongxi Academy in Danzhou last month, Zhang Jinbao once mentioned to himself that he wanted to open professional training courses related to steam engines, but at this stage, Haihan officials will definitely not open this to private educational institutions. There is no training qualification for a secret-related project, so Ning Qi also clearly told him that this road would not work.Less than a month later, this Jinbao came to Sanya from Danzhou again. Could it be that he is 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, so he said that he could arrange a simple entrance test for these students as soon as possible, and if they passed, they would stay in Sanya for further study.After finishing speaking, Ning Qi served the guests tea.Zhang Jinbao probably didn't expect the meeting to come to an end so quickly, so he had no choice but to say that he still had something to report.

"Is it the same thing you said last time in Danzhou?" Ning Qi frowned impatiently and said, "If it's about the steam engine, then there's no need to talk about it. I've already said it last time, there's no rush for this matter. "

Seeing Ning Qi's displeasure, Zhang Jinbao quickly responded, "The villain didn't come here for this purpose, but he wanted to ask the chief for instructions on something else."

Ning Qi's face turned pale, so he asked Zhang Jinbao to continue.Zhang Jinbao asked a few students to wait outside first, not allowing them to continue listening.

After the students left, Zhang Jinbao said: "When the chief inspected Jonesy Academy last time, he mentioned to the villain that he wanted to expand the scale of education, and even open branches to other states and counties. Afterwards, the villain thought about it carefully. Fan, I also think it is feasible, but Jonesy College has limited teachers, and it is still difficult to open a branch, so I have the courage to come to Sanya to ask the chief for some assistance."

When Ning Qi heard this, he felt relieved.He did encourage Zhang Jinbao when he was inspecting Jonesy College and asked him to consider setting up branches in other places.After all, there are double-digit academies in Danzhou, and the competition among educational institutions is too fierce. Jonesy Academies target poor families and take vocational training. Compared with other academies, there should be more The development space is right.However, Ning Qi also knew that Jonesy Academy's foundation was limited, and there were still many difficulties in establishing a chain institution, so he didn't expect Zhang Jinbao to implement it immediately.But he didn't expect Zhang Jinbao to take it seriously when he said it, and planned to deal with it.

Supporting non-governmental educational institutions is one of Haihan's official policies, and Ning Qi is also happy to see the results, so he asked Zhang Jinbao: "Then what plans do you have now, and what kind of 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 the other counties and counties are relatively few. If you want to open a branch, you should use Haikou City or Changhua is suitable for these two places. In particular, the local smelting industry in Changhua is in the ascendant. There are nearly [-] practitioners, and there are many school-age children. The local family income is generally limited, and a family cannot afford to support a few scholars, such as Jonesy Academy Such an approach is very suitable for the local situation. The academy already has a smelting major, and if it opens a branch in the local area, I believe the local government will also support it."

Seeing that Ning Qi nodded slightly, Zhang Jinbao knew that he had got the point, and his nervousness eased a little, and he continued, "But opening an academy requires a lot of money, and the villain's financial resources are limited. But I can’t get that much out at once. In addition, the academy’s teachers are a bit insufficient, and it will definitely be difficult to open a branch. If we can get the support of the chief, I think this matter can be done smoothly.”

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

Zhang Jinbao said: "The villain has already inquired about this matter, Haihan Bank can handle 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 easy to say The villain can just use the real estate of Jonesy Academy as collateral, but the Danzhou Management Committee can't control this matter with the official approval, so I can only come to Sanya to ask the chief for help."

Ning Qi thought to himself that this Jinbao had a heart, he had already planned all these things, and he was willing to take out the real estate of Jonesy Academy as a mortgage, which also showed how determined he was in this matter.That being the case, Ning Qi couldn't shirk it any longer, and immediately said: "Master Zhang is so interested in education, it's really a blessing for students in Hainan! How about this, you write a detailed written plan and give it to me, after I read it A formal approval will be issued."

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

Of course, Ning Qi will not be in a hurry to look at it right away. Even if some things are easy to do, they can't be done too happily, otherwise the people below will think that this matter is not difficult at all, and there will only be more and more troublesome things coming to the door in the future .Although Zhang Jinbao's attitude is correct, he must also be in place. Otherwise, this guy will go back with the approval document and boast that he went to Sanya, and let Ning Qi of the executive committee obediently sign the approval document. Wouldn't that be too ruthless? the majesty of the author.

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

This time Zhang Jinbao didn't dare to delay any longer, he got up and thanked him a thousand times before leaving.Most of his goals for coming to Sanya this time have been completed, and the personnel are exhausted, and the rest has to be heard by fate and other news.

Ning Qi is not in a hurry to deal with this matter at the moment, there are still many things on the summit that he needs to personally participate in.In the afternoon agenda, he will make a speech on the stage, the content is "Proposals to strengthen cultural exchanges and non-governmental exchanges among countries", which includes inviting overseas students from various countries to come to Sanya to learn Haihan's unique culture and technology. Try to establish academies in other friendly countries to help cultivate literate professionals locally.And Zhang Jinbao also met at the right time, bringing some new inspirations to Ning Qi. For example, in some 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 carry out cultural penetration.

As a 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, as long as they are used reasonably , These organizations can do many things that are not convenient for officials to come forward.And as a veteran who has worked in the education industry for many years, Ning Qi has always believed that cultural education plays an irreplaceable role in consolidating national unity and enhancing the national identity.

Judging from the development trajectory of Haihan, the country's national structure has been composed of multiple ethnic groups from the beginning, and with its own development and the continuous arrival of external immigrants, there are more and more different ethnic groups in the country, and the population composition and The cultural background will also become more and more complex.How to bring immigrants from various countries together and make them have a sufficient sense of identity with the existing Haihan national identity has always been a matter of great concern to the Executive Committee.

Regarding this issue, Ning Qi agrees with Han Yu's opinion in "Yuan Dao": "The Spring and Autumn Annals" is also written by Confucius.It means to take the Zhou ritual as the standard, and anyone whose words and deeds conform to the "rituals" can also be regarded as China, and vice versa, China can also be regarded as Yidi.

Of course, this point of view is different from the theory of "Entering Barbarians, Barbarians, Entering Xia, Xia" invented by Xu Heng, who later worked for the Mongolian Yuan, to discuss the legitimacy of the Mongolian Yuan regime. The method is to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family, but to believe that with the culture of the Han family, it is completely possible to assimilate other races, make them identify with their new identity, and become qualified Haihan citizens.To achieve the desired effect, the two most effective means are publicity and education.

After Haihan's organizational department adjustment this year, the original propaganda department has also merged its functions into the current Ministry of Culture and Education. Ning Qi has a good grasp of publicity and education, but it is also convenient.What Ning Qi wants to do is not only to popularize basic education in Haihan, but also to spread Haihan's culture and education system abroad, and use this to instill Haihan's values ​​in other "barbarian" countries.

Naturally, the amount of financial, material and manpower required for this method is not small, 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 the infiltration of the cultural field, and some neighboring countries have now reached the level of "admiration" for Haihan and are willing to send students Those who went to Haihan's schools to receive training, and most of them came from powerful families, deserved Haihan's investment in brainwashing training for them.

Zhang Jinbao's plan provided Ning Qi with a new way of thinking about promoting education overseas, that is, in addition to taking the route of the upper elite, the field of education can also try the route of being close to the people.Zhang Jinbao’s vocational training school mainly focuses on cultivating professional technicians. If the school can be run abroad in the future, these majors can be adjusted according to Haihan’s needs. The trained technicians are directly recommended to various workshops affiliated to Haihan for employment. More industrial workers can be exchanged for lower labor costs.

Ning Qi only had a general idea, and found that there was a lot of work to be done, but it was not easy for his own department alone, so he went back to the venue, called Schneider aside during the lunch break, and organized the work in the morning. I want to tell him about the meeting with Zhang Jinbao.

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

Ning Qi said: "This person is quite thoughtful. I'm considering whether I can package this matter well, and then promote it to foreign regions as a representative of Haihan private education institutions."

"Are you going to let him go abroad to open a chain store?" Schneider couldn't help but gave a thumbs up: "My teacher Ning is amazing! If this way can go through, it would be a good deal, which can not only export the education industry but also harvest Skilled labor can serve multiple purposes!"

Ning Qi said with a smile: "It must be a good thing, but I'm not sure right now. If we want to promote it abroad, how much will it cost? It's a non-governmental educational institution, so even if it doesn't make money, it can't let him lose money. , if the cost is too high, then we 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 property in Danzhou. Even if he mortgages it all, how much money can he mortgage? In my opinion See, it might be better to have an official shareholding, maybe it’s better to operate.”

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "The nature of the government's shareholding has changed. Even the allies are somewhat wary of our official organizations, and it is easier for private organizations to act."

Schneider shook his head and said: "The official shareholding is not your Ministry of Culture and Education or Haihan Bank using money to buy shares. This matter only needs to turn two corners and make the procedures clean. If you don't say it, the Jinbao doesn't say it, and outsiders won't." Knowing the source of these funds, you would never think that there are official shares in Haihan. If you are really worried, you can also set a timetable earlier, when his chain organization has established a foothold abroad, the official will withdraw the capital in installments gone."

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

Schneider said: "Mr. Ning, why are you so brain-dead? Zhang Jinbao doesn't want to do it. We can still ask Li Jinbao and Wang Jinbao to do it! What is your purpose? Isn't it just to find a shell of a private educational institution? Help us achieve our official goal? If we really can’t find a suitable shell, then we can make one ourselves. You don’t know how many business owners are waiting in line to do business with us, so you don’t have to worry about finding one. Not a partner."

Ning Qi listened to Schneider's words with ease, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm not worried that you won't find someone to cooperate with, but the operation of this educational institution is not like doing business, and you must have people who know how to operate it." .Besides, this private educational institution only engages in vocational training, so it can’t make as much money as you do business.”

Schneider joked: "Mr. Ning, thanks to the fact that you are still a veteran driver who has been in the industry for many years, you can say with closed eyes that educational institutions can't make money. I accept it! Or you can leave this matter to me and guarantee it for two years." What do you think of three years of profit return?"

Ning Qi repeatedly shook his head and said, "Forget it then, you'll turn the academy into a business store if you take it, and you're all about money, so how can you teach and educate people!"
