Chapter 2299

Zhang Jinbao has been running Qiongxi Academy in Danzhou for many years. He is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of his academy's educational direction compared with traditional academies. He also has a wealth of knowledge on how to use its strengths and avoid weaknesses in publicity to the public to highlight the advantages of his own academy.

practical experience.

Zhang Jinbao has done detailed homework in the past few days on what social class the local young people who signed up for school belong to and why they chose Qiongxi College, so he included more targeted content in his speech.

Closer to the actual situation of the audience.

For example, many people are concerned about the study cycle. Zhang Jinbao made it clear that the study cycle of these majors offered by Qiongxi Academy is much shorter than the traditional hard study method, ranging from several months to two or three years.

, you can complete your studies and get a stable income.

This kind of speed of growth is almost impossible to achieve under the traditional education method. People who have only studied for two or three years have a hard time even passing the exam, let alone relying on the little knowledge in their stomachs to support themselves. Many people

Scholars from poor families who were unable to pass the imperial examination knew that after reaching a certain age, they knew that taking the imperial examination would not work and had no other livelihood skills, they could only make a living by setting up stalls and selling calligraphy or teaching children to read in private schools in the countryside.

Of course, Zhang Jinbao would not tell them right now that most of the production skills taught to students by Qiongxi Academy are only at the basic level. It is no problem to find a job to make a living after completing the studies, but if you want to make a good living by craftsmanship, you still have to

You have to improve your skill level. And this kind of learning opportunity to improve your strength can often only be obtained by working in Haihan Country.

As for the issue of immigration, Zhang Jinbao has been warned by Li Nai and will not discuss it in public places like this. Although the government does not prohibit people from immigrating to settle overseas, if someone openly talks about and advocates this behavior, then

The government probably won't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Zhang Jinbao may have returned to Danzhou by then, and the Guangzhou branch will become a target.

Of course, no matter how much you brag, you have to show your true ability in the end. Zhang Jinbao promised in public that by this time next year, the college will hold an anniversary celebration, and the employment situation of the college students will be announced at that time. The public can know about it then.

I wonder if I can get a stable livelihood after studying at Jonesey College.

In fact, the audience no longer had too many doubts about this, because when Li Jifeng and Chen Tianqi spoke previously, they had already stated that they would give priority to students from the Guangzhou branch in the future. This also means that Fu

Ruifeng and Haihan Office in Guangdong, two major employers, will provide support for the college to solve students' employment problems. However, the number of students enrolled in the college is only a few hundred. It can be said that as long as you enroll, you basically don't have to worry about the future.

livelihood.

Of course, with each additional promise about employment prospects, students and the public will have more confidence in the college. Zhang Jinbao does not mind spending a little more words to establish a better image for the college. As long as the public is convinced that Qiongxi College

If we can solve students' employment problems well, then the future enrollment work will gradually become easier.

After Zhang Jinbao finished his speech, the opening ceremony of the academy came to an end. Each of the guests invited to watch the ceremony received a custom-made glass stationery made in Haihan, and the wooden gift box contained a glass rod.

A pen, a glass paperweight and a glass inkstone, all with the word "Qiongxi" in seal script engraved on them.

These items were souvenirs that Zhang Jinbao sent back after he finalized the location of the academy in Guangzhou and asked someone to order them urgently in China. If they were put on the Guangzhou market, they would probably be sold for about twenty taels of silver, which is

It was a considerable investment. Of course, this was not a treasure for the upper class in society, but there was rarely such a custom of giving souvenirs in Guangzhou, so the guests present felt it was very fresh to receive this gift.

Of course, the ordinary people who come to the academy to watch the excitement do not get such treatment. What they gain is this experience that can be used as talk in the next few days. Compared with several traditional academies in the local area, the opening of Qiongxi Academy

The ceremony was very lively, so this trip was not in vain.

After the opening ceremony ended, the guests dispersed, and classes began in the academy. Zhang Jinbao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that a big stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had finally fallen to the ground.

Ever since he received the invitation to go to Sanya to observe the martial arts competition, the idea of ​​setting up an academy in Guangzhou has been lingering in his mind. It took three months, during which he overcame countless difficulties and traveled thousands of miles before he finally made it.

This plan was implemented. Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly. It was basically implemented step by step according to Zhang Jinbao's plan, and there was no big trouble.

However, Zhang Jinbao's work did not end here. After arranging the affairs of the academy, he rushed to the Li family manor by car. Today, Li Jifeng was the host, holding a celebratory banquet to celebrate the successful opening of the academy. As a natural partner, he

You also have to attend.

Li Jifeng was very satisfied with the process and actual results of today's opening ceremony. He praised Zhang Jinbao's performance during the banquet. This also made Chen Tianqi present feel proud and immediately said that the Guangdong Office would consider the actual needs of the Guangzhou branch.

Provide more resources to help the academy gain a foothold in Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Being able to receive so much recognition, Zhang Jinbao was naturally in a good mood and took the initiative to toast everyone present to thank them for their support during this period.

"Dean Zhang, you have worked hard these days. Have a good rest tonight. I will make some arrangements for you to have a good few days in Guangzhou tomorrow!" Li Nai stood up and clinked glasses with Zhang Jinbao. By the way, he also said that since the business has been done, let's continue.

When I come down, I will reward him with my kindness as a landlord.

Zhang Jinbao smiled and said: "I accept the kindness of the third young master. I'm just working hard and I don't have much time to play around in Guangzhou. Once the academy here is on track, I should set off back to Danzhou. Come out.

It’s been months since I’ve been there and I don’t know what’s going on at home. I’d be really worried if I didn’t go back and take a look soon!”

For Zhang Jinbao, opening branches overseas is certainly a goal that must be achieved, but the most important thing is of course the operating conditions of the main hospital in Danzhou. It has been a long time since he left Danzhou, and he really can’t let go and continue to stay.

Traveling in Guangzhou. Although the city of Guangzhou is lively, in Zhang Jinbao’s opinion, it is better to stay at his own academy to feel at ease.

Li Nai hesitated for a few words, but seeing Zhang Jinbao's firm attitude, he stopped pushing. However, this made him have a better impression of Zhang Jinbao. People who can focus their energy on their career like this are worthy of admiration.

Target. If Qiongxi Academy has plans to open overseas branches in the future, we can take the initiative to cooperate with it.

Zhang Jinbao stayed in Guangzhou for another three days. After confirming that the academy's teaching activities were on track, he packed his luggage and prepared to return to Danzhou. The several entourages he brought with him were all left in Guangzhou to manage.

The branch here has daily affairs, so he should be on his way back alone.

The only problem is that when I came to Guangzhou, I took Li Nai's free boat and enjoyed VIP treatment in food, accommodation and transportation along the way. It really saved me a lot of hardships in traveling and traveling. But now that I have to go back to Danzhou, I can't ask Li Nai to do it again.

Nai sent a ship to take him back on a special trip.

There are actually many ships going to Haihan from Guangzhou, but not many directly to Danzhou. In the off-season, there may only be a few ships in a month. Zhang Jinbao currently has three return options to choose from. One is in Guangzhou.

One is to spend more time to find a boat that goes directly to Danzhou; the other is to find a boat to Hainan Island as soon as possible. When it gets there, it will probably dock in Haikou or Sanya, and then transfer to the boat to Danzhou;

One route is to take a boat to Hong Kong first. There are dozens of such boats departing from the Pearl River Pier every day. You don’t need to spend too much time waiting for the boat date. After arriving in Hong Kong, you can find more boats to Danzhou.

Theoretically it should be found within a day or two.

However, Zhang Jinbao felt that none of these options were very safe, so he went to the Liaison Office in Guangdong to seek a meeting with Chen Tianqi to seek a fourth return option.

After hearing his intention to come, Chen Tianqi readily made arrangements for him, allowing him to take a transportation ship departing from Guangzhou in two days to return to Hainan Island. This transportation ship was officially owned, and although the conditions on board were not as good as Li Nai's ship,

But at least it is much better than ordinary merchant ships. Even Chen Tianqi himself took such a transport ship when he returned to China to report on his work.

The transportation ship departing from Guangzhou this time happened to be delivering some things to Danzhou, and would only stop in Hong Kong for half a day. The transportation ship used an exploration-class civilian version of the sailboat, and its speed was much faster than that of ordinary sailboats.

The entire voyage may be a day or two faster than the direct ship from Guangzhou to Danzhou, which is suitable for Zhang Jinbao who is eager to return home.

Of course, the most important point is that when Chen Tianqi heard that Zhang Jinbao was traveling alone, he directly waived all the expenses for him to take the downwind boat. Although this amount of money was not a big amount, for Zhang Jinbao, who was very careful about budgeting, it was

Of course, save it if you can.

On the day of departure, Chen Tianqi specially sent a carriage to the academy to pick him up and take him to the Pearl River Pier. Compared with the public treatment when they first met, Zhang Jinbao finally got a taste of special treatment, which shows how much Chen Tianqi now appreciates him.

.

Zhang Jinbao took a car to the pier, where there were already sailors waiting for his arrival on the shore to help him carry his luggage onto the ship. Soon after Zhang Jinbao boarded the ship, the ship's boss ordered the ship to unmoor and raise the sails and set off.

Since Chen Tianqi had said hello in advance, Zhang Jinbao's treatment on the ship would naturally be good. According to the people on the ship, he would be provided with food and lodging according to official treatment along the way. Zhang Jinbao was naturally very satisfied with this and thanked him repeatedly.

This ship is indeed very fast. It takes less than a day to travel from Guangzhou to Hong Kong, which is more than 200 miles away. However, the process of entering the port after arriving was not very smooth.

The port sent a guide boat and sent out a signal to ask Zhang Jinbao's ship to wait at sea. Zhang Jinbao asked the sailors on the ship, but he didn't know what he meant. He just guessed that there might be no vacancies at the pier berth, so this rare occurrence happened.

Condition.

Zhang Jinbao also stayed in Hong Kong with Li Nai when he went north to Guangzhou, but he did not encounter such a special situation at that time. Moreover, in his impression, there were many berths in the Hong Kong pier, and it would be difficult to fill them all.

It will only happen on a windy day when all nearby ships enter the harbor to avoid wind and waves.

However, because their ship was a business ship, they did not wait too long and were quickly directed to the designated dock. But as they approached the coast, Zhang Jinbao and the people on the boat noticed that the dock here was not full.

Ships, on the contrary, still have many empty berths.

After the ship docked, they immediately received a notice from the shore. Due to temporary security requirements, people on the ship could not go ashore for the time being. If they needed supplies urgently, they could make a list of items and the port department would arrange and load them on the ship.

"Something has happened!" The boss of the ship is an old sea dog who has been associated with this route for a long time. After receiving the notice from the port, his face was not very good: "The last time we encountered this kind of thing was when the port was closed to arrest Japanese pirate spies last year. This time

I guess it’s not a good thing!”

Last year, when Haihan was tracking down the secret operations of the Eighteen Shiba Party and the Hirado Domain Japanese pirates on the Daming coast, he executed port closures and arrests in many ports on the southeast coast, and Hong Kong was no exception. At that time, the port was closed for three days, and only entry was allowed.

The port did not resume normal operations until all local merchants were checked.

This was the first time Zhang Jinbao had heard of this incident. At that time, domestic newspapers only reported in detail on the Hirado clan's involvement in the coastal disputes between Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They did not mention the series of arrests of Haihan during this period.

action.

Zhang Jinbao couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard this: "If there are Japanese pirate activities in Hong Kong, will it endanger our ship?"

The boss of the ship shook his head and said: "That shouldn't be the case. There is a naval fleet stationed here. Even if there are really Japanese pirates operating at sea, they will only go here if they have a bad brain! At most, there are sporadic thieves who have sneaked onto the shore and leaked the news.

The government noticed it, so they closed the port and arrested people."

Zhang Jinbao was dubious after hearing this, and thought as long as it didn't interfere with his return journey, he immediately asked the ship's boss if he could resupply and left immediately.

The boss of the ship shook his head and said: "Some cargo needs to be loaded and unloaded here, and the task must be completed before leaving here. Sir, don't worry, it is estimated that the seal will be unsealed soon."

This time, the ship boss's prediction was quite accurate. When it got dark, I finally received a notice from the dock that normal operations could be resumed. People on the ship could also go ashore and move around freely in the city.

Entering the city at this time was second to none. The first thing was of course to find out what happened locally that required a temporary closure of the port. The news he received made Zhang Jinbao a little bit dumbfounded. It was not that there were any local thieves' activities that caused the government to implement the port closure order.

It's just because a distinguished person has arrived in Hong Kong and special security precautions have been implemented in accordance with the instructions from above.
