Chapter 2293

After traveling around Guangzhou for a few days, Zhang Jinbao had to admit that it would be difficult to find a suitable place to open an academy on his own. Housing prices in the city are high, and even if there is a Guangzhou branch of Haihan Bank willing to lend money, the academy

It may be difficult to repay the loan through business. Although the price of land outside the city is relatively low, it is often located in inconvenient places and requires extensive construction work for renovation and reconstruction. This is not good for Zhang Jinbao, who hopes to open the Guangzhou branch as soon as possible.

Acceptable.

After trying, Zhang Jinbao could only go back to Li Nai's original suggestion and go take a look at the real estate provided by Furifeng. According to Li Nai, the Li family still has an unused property outside Guangzhou.

The manor should be used to open an academy. However, Zhang Jinbao did not obtain more detailed information from Li Nai about the specific situation and approximate value of the manor. He could only understand it by personally conducting an on-site inspection.

Li Nai has been too busy recently to see anyone. After going to Li's house for a banquet that day, Zhang Jinbao never met Li Nai again, so in the end it was Gan Wei who accompanied him to see the idle manor.

It takes a while to get there from Guangzhou City by horse-drawn carriage to the Li family's estate. In Zhang Jinbao's opinion, the location is actually a bit remote.

But when he arrived at the place, this idea changed, because the manor was backed by the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain, surrounded by green trees, and the environment was very quiet. At first glance, it looked like a good place for peace and quiet. There were only

Some farmers live there, and it is said that they are all tenant farmers of the Li family.

The manor faces south and faces north, with white walls and blue tiles. The structure is a five-entry courtyard with two east-west courtyards. If necessary, there is enough land around the manor to expand other buildings. If the building area is used as the standard, here

It should be regarded as the largest place among the places Zhang Jinbao has inspected so far.

"Dean Zhang, this place was originally bought by me as a place for retirement. A lot of money was spent on building this manor. However, I have always been busy with things. After the manor was built, I only stayed here once or twice.

After that, it was idle for a long time. Now only a few servants live here and are responsible for the daily maintenance of the house."

After getting off the carriage, Gan Wei began to introduce the situation of this manor to Zhang Jinbao. In fact, he had never been to this place before, because in the past, only members of the Li family would come here. As Li Nai's subordinate, he

A servant running errands is not qualified to follow the big boss Li Jifeng to this manor.

Zhang Jinbao noticed that the architectural style here was very similar to the Li family manor where he went for a banquet a few days ago. It was probably designed by the same architect. Gan Wei introduced that this manor was originally a place where Li Jifeng planned to live.

, it seems that it should be true.

But since this is the case, it is conceivable that the cost of building this place is definitely not low. If you want to measure the value of this manor from an economic point of view, it will probably be an amount that Zhang Jinbao cannot afford. And if Li Nai uses this property

If the manor buys shares in the Guangzhou branch, Zhang Jinbao will probably have to make careful calculations on what proportion is appropriate to allocate the ownership of the branch to the other party.

Since it is a manor built according to Li Jifeng's own standards, there is really nothing to criticize in terms of quality. Zhang Jinbao walked around and found that the buildings here are in very good condition. If they want to be transformed into

The academy only needs to be cleaned and the furniture changed. Judging from the area here, it will definitely be no problem to accommodate two to three hundred students. If we want to continue to expand the enrollment scale in the future, we can expand the dormitories outside the manor.

After seeing the manor, Zhang Jinbao had already made a decision. On the way back, he informed Gan Wei and asked him to contact Li Nai on his behalf to discuss using the manor as a school venue for the Guangzhou branch.

The next day, Li Nai finally arranged a time to meet with Zhang Jinbao. After listening to Zhang Jinbao's views and suggestions on the renovation of this manor, Li Nai readily expressed that he could use this manor as a teaching place for Qiongxi Academy.

The place will be renovated according to Zhang Jinbao's wishes, and there is no time limit for taking it back. As long as the academy continues to operate, the manor will not be used for other purposes.

"Then the Li family uses this manor as capital to participate in the operation of the Guangzhou branch. How do you think the third young master should distribute the shares of the branch more appropriately?" Zhang Jinbao saw Li Nai so happy and said,

Li Nai pondered: "My father didn't spend much money when he bought this piece of land, just a few thousand taels of silver. But later, it did cost a lot to build the manor. Since Dean Zhang has gone to see it in person, he should be able to

I noticed that the materials used in the construction of the manor were of the highest quality, and it took more than two years to complete, and the total cost should have exceeded one hundred thousand taels of silver..."

Zhang Jinbao couldn't help but gulped when he heard this, thinking that the total budget he estimated for the Guangzhou branch was less than this amount. How should this be appropriately converted into shares?

Then I heard Li Nai continue to say: "As for whether this situation is correct or not, Dean Zhang has visited many places in Guangzhou in the past few days. I believe it should not be difficult to judge. We are all our own people, so I will tell you directly.

, no matter how much the price of the Guangzhou branch is, I will hold 50% of the shares, what is President Zhang’s opinion?”

If we look at the actual investment value, if Li Nai wants to hold 50% of the shares in the Guangzhou branch, Zhang Jinbao will definitely take advantage. However, Zhang Jinbao is the most valuable brand of Qiongxi Academy, and intangible assets are not so easy to value.

The price is ten thousand or twenty thousand, which is reasonable. If you insist that it is worth one hundred or eighty thousand, it would be difficult to refute it with real evidence.

Of course, with Li Nai's vision and shrewdness, if Zhang Jinbao wants to play tricks on this link and use the reputation of Qiongxi Academy to bargain with Li Nai, he will probably only bring humiliation to himself.

During this trip to Guangzhou, Zhang Jinbao witnessed the strength of the Li family with his own eyes. He knew how much he weighed, but he never thought about competing with Li Nai on such a matter. The other party took the initiative to report the conditions, which was actually

It is within Zhang Jinbao's acceptable psychological range, and judging from Li Nai's tone, it is obvious that he is determined to win this condition.

Zhang Jinbao didn't rush to reply, and Li Nai didn't push him, so he waited patiently for him to figure it out. After a long time, Zhang Jinbao finally said: "There is no problem with the conditions of the third young master. I am willing to cooperate with Fulifeng to open a business on this condition."

Academy. But, since Fulifeng has decided to participate in the operation of this academy, can you also invest some resources in other aspects to help the academy with daily publicity?"

"What does Dean Zhang mean?"

"What I'm saying is that in public places operated by Furifeng, such as docks and other places with a large flow of people, can they use advertising signs to promote the college?" Zhang Jinbao has been thinking about his previous stay in Hong Kong.

When I saw the giant billboards, I found an opportunity to ask Li Nai for these low-cost and effective publicity resources.

Li Nai didn't think much about it. These special resources of Furifeng were basically for his own use and had not been sold to outsiders before. Therefore, in his eyes, they were not a great resource. Since the academy has been established to a certain extent,

Since it has become your own business, it is reasonable to use these resources to promote the academy.

So Li Nai nodded readily and said that Zhang Jinbao could formulate a more detailed publicity plan to see which areas and methods needed to use publicity means, so that the cost could be estimated and allocated in advance.

Zhang Jinbao didn't expect that Li Nai would agree to this condition so readily, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really a pleasure to work with the third young master. It's much smoother than I expected!"

Li Nai smiled and said: "The reason is very simple, because the purpose of you and me is to promote this matter as soon as possible, and we are optimistic about the prospects of this project, so we will not spend too much energy haggling on the details. We all know that,

The investment today can bring more benefits in the future, and the sooner it is implemented, the more substantial the benefits will be in the future. Compared with future development, there is really no need to care about the small profits now."

After Zhang Jinbao heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Just two days ago, he was still thinking about whether to kick Fulifeng away and cooperate with Haihan Bank in order to take the academy into his own hands. But now

Think about it, even if you borrow 108,000 from Haihan Bank, it will be difficult to purchase such an ideal place to open a college locally, let alone get more publicity channels through Fulifeng to expand the college.

influence.

Although it seems that 50% of the shares of Guangzhou Branch were exchanged for Fulifeng's investment, Zhang Jinbao himself understands that the resources invested by Qiongxi Academy are actually far less than those of its partners, and the resources invested by Fulifeng

Part of it is precisely the special resources that Haihan Bank cannot provide.

However, before Zhang Jinbao could weigh the pros and cons, Li Nai took the initiative to mention the matter: "I heard that Mr. Guo from Haihan Bank visited Dean Zhang two days ago, and he must have planned to persuade Zhang

Can the dean directly borrow money from the bank to raise the funds needed to open the academy?"

Zhang Jinbao was startled, and soon realized that the place where he lived was provided by the Li family, and the servants there were also from the Li family. So if anyone took the initiative to visit him, of course he could not hide it from Li Nai.

And since he and Guo Huansu were strangers to each other, it was obviously not difficult to deduce the purpose of the other party's hurried visit.

Zhang Jinbao could only secretly be glad that he was not persuaded by Guo Huan and chose the method he suggested. Otherwise, after knowing the inside story, Li Nai would not have any grudges about it.

Zhang Jinbaoqiang said with a smile: "The third young master is very well-informed. I really can't hide it from you. Shopkeeper Guo did ask about his intention to come to Guangzhou and asked about whether he needed extra funds for turnover. However, I have also informed Guo.

Shopkeeper, the Guangzhou branch runs the school jointly with Fulifeng, so the funds should be safe."

Hearing Li Nai's tone, Zhang Jinbao seemed to be a little resentful towards Guo Huan. At the moment, he did not dare to completely follow Li Nai's wishes and blame Guo Huan. He could only try to downplay the matter as much as possible to avoid causing Li Nai to get angry.

Li Nai said: "It's the responsibility of Shopkeeper Guo, and I don't mean to blame him. I just hope that Dean Zhang will think clearly about who to cooperate with when opening an academy in Guangzhou!"

Zhang Jinbao responded quickly: "There is no choice. Of course, it is most reliable to cooperate with the Third Young Master. When I was in Sanya, I really only asked the Third Young Master to discuss the matter of the Guangzhou branch."

Li Nai nodded and said: "Dean Zhang, don't be nervous. I'm not planning to launch an investigation. In fact, what I want to say is that dean Zhang can ask shopkeeper Guo to apply for a loan. This will be convenient for others and will be convenient for myself in the future."

"

Zhang Jinbao didn't believe his ears. Not only did Li Nai not pursue Guo Huan's poaching behavior, he actually suggested that he borrow money from Guo Huan.

Li Nai said: "Dean Zhang, don't be surprised. Most of the trade between Furifeng and Haihan Kingdom is settled through Haihan Bank, so Shopkeeper Guo and I are no strangers. I understand his difficulties."

Yes, but it is unlikely that Furifeng will ask him to borrow money, so this matter must be like Dean Zhang's before he can help him."

After Zhang Jinbao heard this, he finally understood that Li Nai planned to send a favor to Guo Huan. And he specifically waited until the academy cooperation was finalized before proposing it. Naturally, there was no need to worry that Haihan Bank would intervene in this cooperation project, and then let

Zhang Jinbao went to Guo Huan to apply for a symbolic loan in the name of running a school, so that everyone could get what they needed and everyone would be happy.

After Zhang Jinbao sorted out the entanglement of interests in the middle, he had to admire Li Nai's ability to deal with people. It's no wonder that the senior officials of Haihan were happy to deal with him.

"The third young master is so considerate, I really admire him!" Zhang Jinbao said with emotion and sincerely praised Li Nai's handling of the matter.

Li Nai smiled and said: "If Dean Zhang still has any difficulties, just say it and I will resolve it as appropriate. In fact, as long as we talk about many things, there won't be any problems, especially money matters.

Any problem that can be solved with money is easy to discuss!"

Zhang Jinbao deeply agrees with this. Furifeng's solution to the problem is simple, crude and effective. Taking the cooperation with the Guangzhou branch as an example, it can be said that whatever Zhang Jinbao needs, Li Nai can provide it, even if it is difficult to find in the market.

If he finds a suitable property, he can also provide it to the academy as part of his investment. Zhang Jinbao has no doubt that if he wants to borrow money from Li Nai, the amount that the other party can lend him should not be much worse than Guo Huan.

.

He has already seen that Li Nai is the kind of person who doesn't care too much about the expenses in the process as long as he can achieve his goal. To put it simply, he is rich and willful. Usually, people with this kind of personality can easily become worldly.

He is a prodigal in the eyes, but Li Nai is different. He not only uses money to solve problems, but also uses money to create more wealth. This is probably the main reason why he became the external spokesperson of the Li family and Furifeng.
