Chapter 1599 Prohibition and Permission
Although Jonesy Academy did not receive official support for its application to open courses related to steam engines at that time, in fact Ning Qi had a very good impression of the academy and its operators, and gave them a high degree of affirmation and praise.It's just that the technology related to the steam engine can be regarded as Haihan's national treasure in the current period. The government controls it very strictly, and naturally the folks will not be allowed to develop it by themselves.Even if Jonesey Academy is an educational institution specializing in vocational training, it cannot gain the trust of Haihan officials. All steam engine technicians can only receive training in specialized institutions in Sanya.
However, although Zhang Jinbao's application was rejected, his reputation has been greatly improved, and he has become a famous figure in the Haihan education circle.Later, in the name of establishing a poetry society in Danzhou, I was able to recruit elites from various academies to conduct academic research together, which is actually thanks to this.
Li Nai thought about it and asked, "Then if there is no illegal content in the research project in Danzhou, can I take over this stall?"
"Do you want to take it?" Schneider had a playful expression on his face: "This is not necessarily a profitable business. If there is any officially prohibited content, the money you invested may be lost. Although we can sell you favors, but Some things cannot be exchanged for favors, and I think you understand this truth."
"I understand, I understand." Li Nai responded repeatedly: "I just ask first, if it is feasible, then I will go to Danzhou to meet Zhang Jinbao for a while. Of course, if the executive If the committee feels that this matter is inappropriate, then I will not intervene."
For Li Nai, although the stall in Danzhou is a bit interesting, after all, the official attitude of Haihan should be the main one.He has dealt with Haihan executives for so many years, and he knows very well that the taboos of these people should not be challenged. If he says he can't touch it, he must not touch it.As for whether he can make money from these projects that are still in the research stage, Li Nai actually doesn't care that much. He just wants to follow up because he simply thinks this is very interesting.
Schneider said: "If it's just the projects mentioned in the telegram, it's not a big deal. You can invest some money in sponsorship if you want. But if there are other sensitive things, such as military-related content, then I still have to persuade them You better not touch it."
"If you want to know what they are researching, just send someone over there to check it out." Li Nai offered to suggest, "Maybe you can send someone to go to Danzhou with me as a consultant, so that everyone doesn't have to worry about any violations." something."
Li Nai is not worried that Haihan's senior management will have any calculations against him. The two parties have too many common interests, and he does not regard himself as an outsider. There is no conflict of interest between the two, so naturally there will be no conflicts produce.Li Nai suggested that Haihan officials send people to go with them, in order to dispel the concerns of the officials, and at the same time buy an insurance policy for his innocence.
Schneider knew exactly what Li Nai was planning for this suggestion, and responded with a smile: "You have a good plan, let us send someone to follow? That is equivalent to sending you a protective umbrella!"
"Umbrella? Then the Ministry of Security must send someone to protect me?" Li Nai raised the request unceremoniously.
"If you want the Ministry of Security to come forward, then you can talk to Minister He yourself, and I will not interfere." Schneider immediately drew a line.He and He Xi are at the same level, and it is a taboo in the workplace to dictate the affairs of other departments, let alone a special agency like the Ministry of Security, even if Schneider has a high position in Haihan, he will still have scruples.
At this time, the shop assistant knocked on the door and came in to serve the food, and the two of them stopped talking tacitly. In fact, the main question had already been talked about before that, and Li Nai basically got what he wanted to ask. The answer, the rest is to arrange a specific implementation plan.But before that, Li Nai had to go to the security department to talk to He Xi about this matter.
After the two had dinner, Li Nai didn't charge Schneider, and asked his followers to settle the bill early.Schneider was also indifferent, and accepted Li Nai's treat calmly. They had known each other for nine years, so naturally they would not push back and forth on such trivial matters.
After coming out, Li Nai still used the carriage to send Schneider back to Fort Victory, and then drove to the location of the Security Department between Shengli Port and Tiandu.Li Nai is a typical activist, he will do whatever he thinks of immediately. Since the current progress needs to deal with the Ministry of Security, he will go to negotiate without hesitation, and strive to solve the problem as soon as possible.
After the carriage arrived at the security department, Li Nai was also brought into the security department after being inspected and registered. After waiting for a while, he finally met He Xi.
"Schneider called just now, saying that you have something to come to see me, tell me, what can I do for you?" He Xi asked straight to the point.
So Li Nai roughly told He Xi the outline of the matter, and finally took out the telegram from Danzhou for He Xi to read.After reading it once, He Xi raised her head and asked, "Then what do you want to do now?"
Li Nai replied: "I want to go to Danzhou to see if these projects are worth buying. If they are worth it, I want to make sure that there are no violations of laws and regulations. In addition, I want to know that this Xun Pengcheng was on the side of the Ministry of Security before. Registered, does Minister He have any information that he can disclose to me?"
He Xi smiled and said, "Schneider told you about Xun Pengcheng, right?"
Li Nai was very calm: "Since Minister Shi can tell me, it means that the level of confidentiality is not so high, right?"
He Xidao: "Then you are wrong. The matter of Xun Pengcheng is not that simple. We have issued a password to the outside world. This is you. Try another person and let Schneider reveal half a word."
Li Nai said: "It's so? Isn't Minister Shi trying to harm me? Forget it, I'd better not listen."
He Xi smiled and said, "Come on, all of you are here, so maybe I can drive you out?"
He Xi gave a general account of Xun Pengcheng's involvement in the arms purchase incident, but did not disclose too many details. He only said that Xun Pengcheng played a key role in it, and to a certain extent contributed to the subsequent bidding plan.Afterwards, Xun Pengcheng also got a lot of benefits. In order to avoid leaking the news and dissatisfying the two countries participating in the arms purchase, Haihan officials made Xun Pengcheng leave Sanya to find another place to stay.
As it involved an international arms order worth millions, Li Nai would naturally not recklessly ask the bottom line. He Xi was able to tell him the news, which in itself was a great trust.There is no need for He Xi to remind, Li Nai also knows that these things he heard must not be spread outside, otherwise it may really cause big trouble.As for Xun Pengcheng's ability to leave Sanya safely afterwards, it should be considered his fate.
Li Nai thought for a while and asked again: "Minister He said that he got a lot of benefits afterwards, so he should have become a rich man, right?"
He Xi nodded and said a certain amount. Li Nai sighed, "That was really a sudden fortune for him. It's no wonder he was looking for these weird investment projects in Danzhou."
He Xidao: "Xun Pengcheng didn't use the money for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but instead looked for projects in Danzhou, which is considered very motivated."
Li Nai replied: "I asked his former colleague in the morning, and this person has no bad habits. Presumably Minister He also investigated his situation at the beginning?"
He Xidao: "I have checked and found no problems in life. If you plan to go to Danzhou in person, then I can arrange people from Danzhou to accompany you. If there is anything illegal in this poetry club, my People will come forward to deal with it and won't let you get involved."
One of the main purposes of Li Nai's coming here is to be here, so he quickly thanked He Xi.For the Ministry of Security, this is just a matter of little effort, but for Li Nai, it is an extra insurance, so as not to make things unclear in the future.
Li Nai left from the Ministry of Security, went to Fort Victory to see Schneider, and told Schneider roughly what he had agreed with He Xi.The help needed for this trip to Danzhou is not only from the Ministry of Security, Li Nai also needs timely confirmation from the Ministry of Commerce, which projects can be acquired legally and continue the research work.Schneider also agreed to this very readily. Like the Ministry of Security's approach, he will also arrange special personnel in Danzhou to contact Li Nai on this matter.
As for Xun Pengcheng and Zhang Jinbao's unattainable place, for Li Nai, half a day is basically done, and the next step is to arrange the itinerary to Danzhou.After looking at the schedule, Li Nai asked his attendants to advance some urgent matters to the evening, and postpone the less urgent matters for a few days until he returned from Danzhou.Then he drew up a telegram and sent it to Danzhou, stating that he would go to Danzhou to deal with the matter in two days.
That night, Li Nai fought fiercely in the shop for most of the night to finish the matter. When it was almost dawn, he ate something casually, washed his face, and then set off from the shop.There are daily necessities and a change of clothes on his boat at any time, so there is almost no need to pack his luggage when he goes to Danzhou, but the luggage of his entourage is much more than his things.
Li Nai's entourage is divided into three categories. One is the life attendants who are in charge of food, daily life and travel arrangements. They are generally composed of a steward, a cook and four miscellaneous attendants.The second is the attendants responsible for work scheduling and document recording, usually two to four people, all of whom are professional shopkeepers who are proficient in various businesses. For example, when he went to Danzhou this time, he brought all four attendants with him.The third category is the bodyguards and guards. These people are selected from the peripheral relatives of the Li family, and they are specially sent to Haihan to receive security training. There is a Haihan police revolver that is simply not available on the market.Although there are usually only four bodyguards going out with Li Nai, their combat effectiveness is far superior to ordinary guards who only know martial arts.
These ten attendants, together with more than ten sailors and crew members on board, were the staffing of Li Nai's trip to Danzhou.Only Li Nai's wealth can afford such a group trip.Ordinary people like Xun Pengcheng are regarded as rich people, but when they went to Danzhou, they just spent money to buy a first-class cabin, and they were far away from the real rich like Li Nai.
Li Nai basically didn't sleep all night, and was already a little tired when he arrived at the pier. After boarding the boat, he went to his own cabin and fell asleep.The rest of the people were commanded by the steward, and each arranged a cabin to live in.The sailors lifted the anchor and raised the sails, and the boat slowly left the port of Victory.
Li Nai's ship is an expedition-class sailing ship ordered at the Victory Port Shipyard. The second deck that was originally used to deploy artillery on the ship was removed, and the interior of the ship was transformed into a cabin that can accommodate 40 people.Among them, the special cabin at the stern has quite a lot of space, and there is even a dedicated office area for Li Nai to handle official business on board.
Although the ship has removed most of its armament, it still retains four deck guns as a defensive force.Except for high-end sailing ships equipped with steam propulsion power, there are almost no other ships on the sea that can compete with this ship in terms of speed, so these naval guns play more of a role in psychological comfort, and the possibility of actual use is very small. .If something really happens, this ship can easily get away with its own speed advantage.
Of course, the pirates in the waters around Hainan Island have been wiped out a few years ago, and the biggest opponent of ships in this waters is only nature.As long as the weather conditions are good, there is basically no navigation risk at all.And the crew and sailors on this ship are all old sea dogs who are familiar with the sea conditions in the South China Sea. They don't even need to read the charts when they go to Danzhou.
When Li Nai woke up, the boat was almost at Yinggehai, and it was only half a day before departure from Shengli Port.It happened that Fu Ruifeng had a sea salt sale to be delivered in Yinggehai, so Li Nai let the boat sail into the wharf of Yinggehai Salt Field, and got down to business first.
It didn't take long for this matter to be done, Li Nai only needed to sign and pay, the goods had already been shipped here, and they would be shipped directly to Guangzhou later, so there was no need for Li Nai to worry about it.Li Nai and his party went ashore to finish their errands and had lunch, then returned to the boat and set off again, continuing to Danzhou.
The road from Yinggehai to Changhua was not so smooth. There was a little storm on the sea, and the sailboat headed north against the wind, and it was not until dark that it arrived at Changhua Port.The captain was worried that the sea surface would become more stormy at night, so he suggested to stay in Changhua Port for one night, and wait until dawn to see the weather conditions.Li Nai didn't want to take the risk of rushing for this matter, so he agreed with the captain's opinion and stopped at Changhua Port.
Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, the wind and waves on the sea suddenly became stronger, and the waves near the shore were seven or eight feet high. It would be unwise to venture out to sea in such weather.Seeing this, Li Nai could only continue to live in Changhua and wait patiently for the weather to improve.
