Zhang Jinbao's Plan
Chapter 1594 Zhang Jinbao's Plan
Since the founding of Haihan, the management of the three religions and nine streams has been much stricter than that during the Ming Dynasty.According to the situation that Xun Pengcheng came into contact with in the past, the government has always been very strict in supervising civil associations. Traditional civil organizations like guilds must be registered with the government. After the Danzhou assassination in 1631, Even various organizations in the cultural world are also registered by the government.And because Danzhou is the place where the incident happened, and Huang Zixing, the main criminal at the time, was from the cultural circle, the control here is stricter. After the assembly of non-governmental organizations exceeds ten people, it must be reported for approval and publicized. exception.
Although such regulations are somewhat unreasonable, the effect achieved is ideal. Since 1631, there have been no major public security cases in Danzhou. In terms of public security situation alone, it is even better than Sanya.Since it works, the government will definitely continue this method, which is why there is such a wonderful practice of Haifeng Poetry Club posting notices in the city.However, Zhang Jinbao intends to attract strangers to participate in the event, and Xun Pengcheng still doesn't quite understand his purpose so far.
I heard Zhang Jinbao continue to say: "As we all know, Danzhou is a famous cultural city, with many academies, which train more than a thousand talents of various types for the country every year. However, fierce competition is inevitable among various academies for the source of students, and the exchange of talents is just like this. Blocked. I founded this Sea Breeze Poetry Club to recruit the elites of various academies, in order to break down the barriers and let people have a place to exchange knowledge!"
When Xun Pengcheng heard this, he admired the idea of this golden treasure.In fact, there is a similar organization in Sanya, but it is not a private undertaking, but the state has come forward to organize an institution similar to a research institute, and senior officials of Haihan will personally give training courses to these elites.Of course, this elite is not that elite, and the top talents here in Danzhou may have to learn from scratch when they go to Sanya.
Someone said: "Man, you don't have to speak so beautifully. You have to provide a venue and take the lead in organizing the activities of this poetry club. The fee shouldn't be low, right?"
Zhang Jinbao replied: "To be honest, most of the members recruited by the poetry club are not well-off. If I really wanted to charge a fee, most of them would probably not come. So in fact, for those who attended the party Man, I don’t take a penny.”
"Isn't that someone from the Poetry Club? Like us?" Xun Pengcheng couldn't help asking.He didn't believe Zhang Jinbao didn't ask for anything in return for this kind of activity, even if he couldn't make money, he should at least try to recover the cost, right?And there was still a question in his mind that he didn't ask, that is, how did Zhang Jinbao contact these elites who were said to be from various academies, and gained the trust of these people?
You must know that these people are not uneducated and uninformed fools. Xun Pengcheng discovered in the process of talking with these people that their brains, knowledge, and responsiveness are far superior to ordinary people. Many things also have their own opinions, and they are not so easy to be fooled.This golden treasure can bring these people together, even if it uses coercion and lure, it must be known that he does have this ability to be effective.
As for Zhang Jinbao, who owns Fengming Mountain Villa outside Danzhou City, he should not be an unknown person. Xun Pengcheng even felt that he had seen this name somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it. I am not sure if my memory is an illusion.
Hearing Xun Pengcheng's question, Zhang Jinbao responded with a smile: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, the so-called fee is just to make those boring idlers retreat automatically. As long as they enter the gate of the villa, all board and lodging will be borne by me. Of course, Brother Cheng looks imposing, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person, I very much hope to hear Brother Cheng's advice later on."
Xun Pengcheng knew that his ghostly appearance had nothing to do with the word Qi Yuxuanang. If it wasn't for this attire, he might have been stopped by Zhang Jinbao's men outside the archway.The people who can enter this place have obviously passed Zhang Jinbao's screening, and the registration procedures outside the villa just now are extremely simple, and Zhang Jinbao's criteria for letting people in cannot be based on knowledge and status, so probably only He judged whether he was rich or not by his attire, and only let in people who looked wealthy. This seemed to be verified by the few people who were put in after him.
But Xun Pengcheng still didn't understand what Zhang Jinbao's purpose was, and could only continue to wait and see what happened.But he could vaguely feel that Zhang Jinbao's attracting these rich and idle people through notices or other means was probably not just letting them act as spectators.
Zhang Jinbao said: "Perhaps the new friends who came here for the first time still have some questions. Please don't worry, take a look at the content of our activities first. This will probably be more intuitive than letting me explain."
After Zhang Jinbao finished speaking, he left the speaking position and found an empty seat in the front row to sit down. It seemed that he planned to be an audience next.
Immediately, two people got up from the table and walked to the place where Zhang Jinbao spoke just now.One of them turned and took the chalk and began to write and draw on the huge blackboard.
The other person explained to everyone: "Liao Xiang from Bailu Academy, this is Miao Haisheng from Qiongxi Academy, what I want to show you today is the new rudder that we two are developing. Everyone We all know that when a boat is on the water, it is easy to change the direction of travel with a rudder. Although the principle is simple, how to make this part easier to operate, save effort, and have a more significant rudder effect, but few people think about it carefully.”
Xun Pengcheng saw that Miao Haisheng, who was standing on the blackboard writing and drawing, was the same person who came to strike up a conversation when he was wasting time in front of the bookshelf.At that time, he could feel from the conversation that this person knew a lot about shipbuilding and sailing, but he didn't expect that the so-called literary friendship of the Sea Breeze Poetry Club would be carried out in such a form.It's just that ordinary people don't have nothing to do to study the rudder, and even if they know that the ordinary rudder can be improved, what's the use?Even fishermen or sea merchants who sail boats may not be able to make and replace rudders by themselves.
Na Liao Xiang continued: "Brother Miao learned shipbuilding technology and is good at carpentry. What I have learned is arithmetic, and I am better at calculation. Brother Miao found me before, and after talking about this idea, the two of us cooperated. The research took more than a month, and finally some progress has been made."
At this time, Miao Haisheng had already drawn the general appearance of the rudder on the blackboard, and then introduced: "The rudder blade extends to the front of the rudder stock, which can make the water pressure in front of and behind the rudder stock more balanced. The small hole can make the two sides of the rudder blade communicate with each other. These two points can make the steering of the rudder more labor-saving. Adding a suspension rudder cable and a winch to the rudder can adjust the depth of the rudder blade into the water according to the depth of the channel and improve the rudder effect. If used On a large ship, the steering gear can also be added so that the rudder can be used on the deck to operate. But today’s display is only the rudder blade, so I won’t expand it much.”
Xun Pengcheng is a standard layman in sailing and shipbuilding, and he has no idea how to make the rudder blade.He also doesn't quite understand the significance of researching this stuff. Shouldn't this be the task of a professional organization like Victory Port Shipyard?Xun Pengcheng was not interested in these things in the first place, but he didn't pay much attention to what Liao Xiang and Miao Haisheng said later.However, he was a little interested in how this cross-academy team was formed, could it be through this so-called Sea Breeze Poetry Club?
The two of them spent about a cup of tea, explaining the structure and characteristics of the rudder almost at random, before Liao Xiang asked everyone present: "Do you have any questions?"
Xun Pengcheng thought about how to ask this question, why do you have nothing to do to study the manufacturing method of the rudder?Instead, I want to ask myself, why did I come to this place to sit and listen to you explaining these inexplicable things.He reckoned that most of the people here should be the same as him, and basically couldn't understand what the two of them just said.
Unexpectedly, someone actually asked them a question: "Have you ever produced a sample? Have you tried shipping it?"
Miao Haisheng said: "Of course the real thing has already been made, and I have tried it on a boat, and the effect is very obvious. However, our conditions are limited, and the only boats we can find are not too big. If there is a chance to find more With more and bigger ships, perhaps the progress of the test will be accelerated."
The person who asked the question continued to ask: "If someone wants to buy this... this..."
The man didn't seem to know how to describe this thing for a while, but Zhang Jinbao added: "This kind of invention."
The man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, this kind of invention... how to proceed?"
Now Liao Xiang and Miao Haisheng stopped talking, but their eyes turned to Zhang Jinbao. It was obvious that he was the one who could make the decision.Zhang Jinbao said with a smile: "This new type of rudder is still in the research stage, this friend doesn't have to worry. If you are really interested in this, you can also participate in the research, whether it is direct funding or providing ships. It is to be developed After success, you can give priority to equipment."
After listening to this conversation, Xun Pengcheng suddenly felt that he had grasped some clues. This special gathering arranged by Jin Bao probably was not just for the elites of these academies to show their research results, but to let these results be known to the outside world. awareness and even affirmation.He remembered reading an article in the "Haihan Times" a few months ago, the content was that the executive committee required the research institutions to cooperate with the production institutions to transform the research results on paper into real objects as soon as possible. The scene in front of me seemed to reflect the request of the Executive Committee to some extent.
Xun Pengcheng turned his head and looked at the person who had been asking Liao Xiang and the other two questions. He also had a few conversations with the other party before, and he generally knew that the person was engaged in maritime trade. Perhaps this was why the person was interested in this research project. cause of interest.If the new type of rudder developed by these two people can really improve the seaworthiness of the ship, then the most direct beneficiaries will of course be those who live by the sea.What Zhang Jinbao meant was obviously to introduce outside sponsorship to this research project.
correct!It is sponsorship!Xun Pengcheng suddenly realized that this method of operation is actually not complicated. Zhang Jinbao gathered the elites of these academies together to study certain projects with commercial prospects. After certain results were obtained, he began to look for interested people to invest. After the sponsors have injected funds, it can be guaranteed that this project will have a better prospect, and maybe it can achieve mass production and make a lot of money.And Zhang Jinbao, the actual operator, may be looking forward to hatching a few real golden eggs.
But Xun Pengcheng also felt that Zhang Jinbao was too casual in attracting investment, not to mention that the passers-by and spectators he summoned seemed to be completely random and not targeted at all, and such a party only participated in a few passersby. The odds of a passerby's interest being matched to a research project are simply too low.When Xun Pengcheng was in Sanya, he would see all kinds of investment promotion activities every year, and he had some understanding of the methods involved. He was already thinking about whether he should talk to Zhang Jinbao about related topics after this matter is over. .
Zhang Jinbao briefly talked with that person about the operation method of the project, and it was only then that Xun Pengcheng realized that the matter of the rudder was not as simple as it seemed.Haihan's shipbuilding technology has long been famous, but in fact, advanced shipbuilding technology has only existed in government-run shipyards, and most of the shipbuilding orders of official shipyards come from departments such as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Shipping. The few orders placed are almost all combat ships exported to other countries.People want to place orders for new-style sailboats in official shipyards. Firstly, the price remains high due to capacity problems. Secondly, shipyards generally only accept large orders in consideration of the utilization rate of shipyard slipways.
As a result, only a few strong sea merchants have the capital to order new sailboats with original performance from official shipyards.However, most of the shipbuilding demand from the private sector can only be built in ordinary shipyards.Naturally, government-run shipyards will not easily release those advanced ship design plans, so if civilian ships want to improve their performance, they can only explore and modify them by themselves, but this is not easy for ordinary shipbuilders who lack system knowledge.Most of the shipbuilding techniques they learned were passed down from generation to generation, and they rarely made improvements to ship design. It is unknown how many people can produce a shipbuilder as talented as Zhang Tiangui.
Most of the gifted and talented shipbuilders were officially recruited into the best shipyards, and the level of shipbuilders who made a living among the people can be imagined.Even if it's just an improved design of the rudder, it's not something that anyone can accomplish. That's why the sea merchant immediately asked after listening to the introduction.If the two people standing in front of them explaining the design of the rudder really have a way to improve the performance of the ship, then it is worthwhile for him to pay some economic price.
