Chapter 319 Education Briefing Session

Although merchants used to sell porcelain, they mostly did it for resale, and the profit was not the same thing as their own production. The only famous kiln in South China close to the trading port is the Dehua kiln in Fujian. Like other kilns in Hunan

The cost of transporting porcelain produced in places such as Liling Kiln, Jingdezhen Kiln in Jiangxi, Cizhou Kiln in Hebei, and Longquan Kiln in Zhejiang to South China is quite high. Now that the Haihan people want to create a porcelain producing area near the export port, the knowledgeable businessmen will naturally

I won't let go of such a good opportunity to make money.

For a project like the ceramic industry that guarantees a profit without losing any money, the commercial department is willing to put it into "Qiong Lianfa" to share it with shareholders, mainly because of the resources in the hands of shareholders. If Chuanchuan Group wants to be a one-man show, then this

The project can naturally be launched, but the speed will be slower. And after bringing in these shareholders, in order to obtain more benefits faster and more, they will definitely find ways to recruit the required technical talents for this project in mainland China, and

Those foreign merchants who had traded porcelain with them in the past would probably move their trading locations from the mainland to Victory Port in the future.

Of course, if this kind of new store opening business wants to compete with the famous kiln works on the mainland that have been passed down for hundreds of years, it cannot be done by poaching some craftsmen from other companies. The business philosophy of "Qiong Lianfa" will also adhere to the time-travel concept.

The group's consistent style is to use industrialized production methods to reduce production costs and form basic competitiveness. It may not be able to compete with the craftsmanship of old famous kilns in high-end products, but in the production of mid-to-low-end daily-use porcelain, it has transcended

However, the group can completely use its own technical and management advantages to achieve cost control and gain competitive advantages through production capacity.

Reducing costs with production capacity and competing for the market with cost can almost be said to be the special skill of Chuan Chuan Group in organizing production. In this era, it is difficult to find an opponent that can match it. Even agricultural production has been completely separated from the same time.

The modern small-scale peasant economic system was replaced by a collective farm-style operation, with unified arrangements for planting plans.

Whether it is industry or agriculture, this operating model is very novel to shareholders. Some of them may have thought about using a similar way to operate their own businesses, but both production levels and management methods are limited.

It is possible to turn these ideas into reality. In this era, only the Cross Travel Group has enough experience and technology to realize these large and complex plans.

Since the listing ceremony in the morning was delayed for some time, it was already lunch time after the ceramic industry's stock-raising process was completed. The afternoon schedule was equally tight. Shareholders had to attend product promotion meetings that they were interested in, and everyone

Everyone is very concerned about the education briefing session. As for the remaining project briefing sessions, everyone is not in a hurry to attend it. After all, the money invested in these projects will take about half a year at the earliest to see any hope of return. And

According to the explanatory information, the funds required for subsequent projects are also increasing. It will take some time for everyone to digest the explanatory information and make careful decisions.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Qi walked into the venue of the education briefing with his briefcase. He was surprised to find that there were many more people coming to join in the fun than he had expected. Due to too many meetings and tight space, the education department could only temporarily requisition it.

An empty warehouse in the port business district. Beforehand, only the name of the conference in black and white was posted on the door, and tables and chairs were simply arranged.

According to Ning Qi's estimation, it would be good if more than ten or twenty people could attend this briefing. After all, the time would conflict with other promotions. But what he saw was that there were five rows of benches arranged to sit on.

Not to mention that it was full, there were still more than a dozen audience members who came late and did not occupy seats, standing and waiting. Ning Qi quickly told the naturalized citizen working here to go to the canteen to get some more chairs and stools.

Ning Qi looked around the venue and saw that almost all the shareholders of "Qiong Lianfa" were present, and he felt a little sigh in his heart. As a somewhat proud scholar, he originally did not agree with the executive committee's use of various industrial technologies.

As a sweetener to attract these foreign merchants to send their children to Victory Port to study, after all, this method seems too philistine. But he also understands that the executive committee’s decision to make such a decision is actually forced by the situation, and must be done as soon as possible.

Within a certain period of time, we must recruit a group of influential public interest spokespersons in the mainland, and try to stabilize this interest relationship as much as possible in order to prepare for the future mainland strategy.

But after seeing the scene in front of him, Ning Qi had to admit that the effect of the Executive Committee's move was indeed quite good. If it were not for the propaganda aimed at the desires of these businessmen, it would have been foreseeable that the hall would be deserted at today's briefing session.

——After all, everyone only wants to send their children to take the imperial examination. There is no benefit and no one is willing to send their children all the way to this place to learn some strange skills.

"Thank you all for coming here today to listen to our briefing. First of all, let me make a statement. Our Haihan education system does not teach traditional content such as the Four Books and Five Classics. So if you have any plans to let your children take the imperial examination, you might as well

Find another way out so as not to delay the child's future." After Ning Qi sat down, he made it clear and explained the direction of education.

Ning Qi looked at it and found that no one in the audience seemed to be planning to leave. It seemed that they were all mentally prepared before coming. Ning Qi coughed dryly and then said: "Then everyone here, please take the instructions when entering the venue.

Have you received the promotional materials we distributed? If you still haven’t received them, please let me know.”

The so-called promotional materials are actually content similar to the project instructions. They mainly briefly explain the content and direction of Haihan Educational Institution’s external enrollment plan.

In response to the situation where foreign non-naturalized people want to take the initiative to enroll in school, the education department has formulated a special plan to divide the recruited students into two categories. The first category is those who are willing to stay in the jurisdiction of the group or enter the group's unit after graduation.

The other type of working students are those who come to Shengli Port specifically to learn technology and will return to Daming or other places for employment after completing their studies. To put it simply, they are basically the orientation students and trainees of this era.

If you are willing to sign a contract, students who work in relevant units for five years according to the allocation of the Cross-Training Group after graduation will be able to reduce all tuition and miscellaneous fees, and have priority in extending future employment contracts. The majors of these students can be

You can make your own choice, but your future employment destination will be determined by the Cross Travel Group.

The Wealth Management Model, which is more popular among wealthy businessmen, is to return home and start your own business after studying, which requires a one-time payment of a not-so-low tuition fee. If you drop out of school midway, the excess tuition will not be refunded. And there are a few majors that will not be refunded.

Enrollment will be open to Weifeng students, such as the arms manufacturing major that both "Fu Ruifeng" and Fujian Xu Xinsu Group are extremely interested in.

The entire academic system is divided into three years for primary school, middle school and university. The admission process will take cultural tests to arrange entry into the corresponding school year. Only after completing primary and secondary school studies can students enter the university to formally study professional courses. Primary and secondary school courses are included

In six years, this is also a last resort. Whether internally or externally, it is impossible for the Cross-Travel Group to apply the education system of later generations and spend more than ten years to slowly cultivate talents. Because there is no such thing now

There are so many teachers available, and each unit that is facing a hiring gap is not patient enough to wait for such a long time.

In fact, most of the students currently entering Shengli Port Primary School will be directly assigned to work units for employment after completing three years of primary school and completing literacy and basic computing skills. Only a small number of students who are smarter and have outstanding qualities will be employed.

You have the opportunity to study in a higher-level middle school. As for "university", as of now, it is still an institution on paper, because there are not yet a large number of students who need higher education.

Wealthy businessmen want to send their children to Victory Port to learn Haihan's secret skills. If they learn from scratch, they will need to study and live here for at least nine years. If nine years are not enough to cleanse the minds of these students,

If they become a party with their own food, Ning Qi can probably resign and retire early. Maybe by the time they graduate, they will have already become a firm-minded Haihan sect. Returning to the Ming Dynasty can better promote Haihan to the outside world.

Han culture and values ​​​​if the Ming regime still existed at that time.

Although this study time is very long, it is still much shorter than the more than ten years originally claimed by Tao Donglai. Moreover, wealthy businessmen who have become accustomed to the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty do not think there is anything wrong with this time span. After all,

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time by taking the imperial examination. It took several years to go from being a boy in elementary school to getting the title of scholar. Those who could become a scholar in their teens were all talented people.

The difficulty gradually increases as you move up the ladder. Many scholars can only carry the title of scholar all their lives. Very few can achieve the title of scholar like Li Nai, the third young master of "Fu Ruifeng".

Only 3,000 people were admitted at one time, and the ratio was almost the same as that of Tsinghua University and Peking University in later generations. As for the higher-level Jinshi, the admission ratio was only one-tenth of the candidates. It was not just a matter of personal knowledge, but also self-awareness.

Generally, people won't waste time taking exams after they get the exam.

If you want to become a scholar, if you have no other way out, you will have to rely on the government to live on subsistence allowances for the rest of your life. For children from rich families, getting the title of scholar is just a nice thing, and it has no practical effect. Many rich people just take the money.

Buy the title of scholar. For businessmen who are more practical, instead of trying their best to test their character and wait for candidates to join the civil service system to fill the vacancies, it is better to send them to Shengli Port to learn some practical skills from the Haihan people. This is real money.

What a good thing that comes out of gold and silver!

The explanatory materials listed a number of majors according to two different enrollment forms: targeted and commissioned training, and attached simple explanations. However, the questions in the minds of wealthy businessmen were obviously much more than what was stated in the enrollment brochure.

Therefore, after Ning Qi simply repeated the admission brochure, the wealthy businessmen immediately began to ask various questions.

"Mr. Ning, if the juniors you send here are already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, can they skip primary school and middle school and directly enter this university?"

"Mr. Ning, the orientation students don't charge a penny, but the training students have to pay the first six years of tuition at once. Isn't it too unfair?"

"Mr. Ning, if this trainee wants to switch to orientation student midway, will the tuition be refunded?"

"Mr. Ning, what should I do if my child is stupid and can't finish this course? Do I need to pay additional tuition if I study for a few more years?"

Faced with this chaotic situation, Ning Qi felt as if he had been transported back to the 21st century in a trance. When he went to various places to promote school enrollment policies every summer, wasn't the situation he faced the excited parents he faced?

Of course, the essence of the matter is still different. The eager parents we faced before the time travel were basically planning for the future of their children, but now these guys just use their children as long-term investment tools.

They are so impatient because they just want to figure out what to do to ensure that they can reap the maximum benefits in the future.

After thinking about this, Ning Qi couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with these fat-minded guys in front of him. He clenched his fists and knocked on the table and said: "Quiet, quiet! Please quiet down, everyone, don't ask questions together, so I can't help you."

I can’t hear you clearly! If you want to ask a question, sit down and raise your hand. I will answer one by one. Each person is limited to one question at a time!"

After Ning Qi's outburst, the order of the venue was indeed much better. Even if some people disagreed in their hearts, they could only endure it for the time being when they thought that their children would study under Mr. Ning in the future.

The question-answering session was far more troublesome than the project briefing in the morning, because Haihan’s education system did not have any ready-made results for these businessmen to visit, and they wanted to deepen their understanding of Haihan education simply by relying on words.

Understanding and building confidence is not an easy task. Even though Ning Qi has always been known for his fiery talk, he was so noisy by these people that he almost called the police to maintain order at the venue.

.

In the end, Tao Donglai, who had completed another promotion meeting, arrived in time and helped Ning Qi hold up the place. And with Tao Donglai's endorsement, the businessmen's doubts seemed to be reduced a little. On the same day

After the education briefing in the afternoon, more than 20 businessmen had registered and were preparing to select school-age children to study in Victory Port.

Some relatively weak businesses have mostly chosen orientation students in a more practical way. After all, the high tuition fees starting from 100 taels per year are a bit scary. Moreover, if you can complete primary and secondary school courses and enter university to study professional courses, the tuition fees will be even higher.

A step up. In addition to the students' living expenses after living locally for several years, this is not a small amount. Besides, it is not a bad thing to be a directional student. After graduation, working in a designated unit of Haihan people for five years is not like being an intern.

Apprentice? Not everyone in all walks of life does this, but the rules of the Haihan people sound more special.

Most of the businesses with relatively strong strength have registered for admission to several majors, which means that they will have to send a corresponding number of students. Dong Yanyun, the representative of Xu Xinsu Group, directly reserved the venue without any politeness——

For the majors announced by Ning Qi, whether it is orientation or commissioned training, each major has a quota of two people. It seems that they are planning to form a team of international students to come here. Dong Yanyun hurriedly signed the letter of intent.

Then he left because he had another very important promotion meeting to attend.

Compared with the education briefing here, the situation at the other promotion meeting was much quieter, with less than ten participants in total. This venue was not in the Port Business District or Fort Victory, but in Tiandu.

The east bank of the river's mouth.

In the first product promotion meeting after the establishment of "Haihan Military Industry", only three representatives were invited to participate - Xu Xinsu Group in Fujian, "Fu Ruifeng" in Guangzhou and the North Vietnamese official inspection team. So far, only these three parties have participated

You can directly purchase various light and heavy weapons produced by the Cross-Travel Group.

For "Furuifeng", the good days of reselling weapons to Fujian in the past few months are gone forever. Due to the strict export control of weapons by Chuanchuan Group, "Furuifeng" will not be able to do so for the time being.

There are other sales targets, so their current desire to buy is not very strong. They basically acted as spectators at this meeting.

The other two buyers are both in a state of war and have a huge demand for arms. It can be said that they can buy as much as the Time Travel Group produces. After watching the previous amphibious military exercise, the two buyers are even more

They have strengthened their determination to equip Haihan weapons in large quantities - after all, on the battlefield they are now on, there will be amphibious landings or anti-landing battles, and the Haihan people's combat method of making full use of thermal weapons has undoubtedly given them an excellent reference.

.If we can reach the equipment strength of the Haihan Militia, then defeating the opponent should be just a matter of time.

Although the military industry department is already developing weapons with higher technical content, there are not many new products launched at this promotion meeting. The Cross-Travel Group is currently expanding its own military, and most of the flintlock guns it produces have been digested by themselves. For a period of time,

The main item of export weapons will still be the matchlock gun. As for the artillery, I am afraid that the excited buyers will be disappointed - due to the large demand for artillery equipment from the port defenses and the navy, the artillery workshop's current production capacity is all

All of them are used in the production of coastal defense guns and naval guns. As for the export-type army guns, production will not start until at least May. The only products that can make buyers want to use them this time are those that match the previously exported weapons.

of replaceable parts and ammunition.
