Chapter Seventy-Two: Overseas Compatriots?
Zhao Zejun and Ding Lan glanced at each other, Ding Lan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know each other.
looked at each other, not like a businessman, but also not like a gangster, but when these two people entered the door just now, the two white policemen at the door were obviously a little vigilant, obviously these two people were unusual.
Until now, the two policemen were still looking this way.
If you want to say that it is 'racial discrimination', it is not enough, this street is full of Orientals, and the two policemen have just eaten Chinese food and are full of energy, so they can't discriminate against yellow people in the blink of an eye."
"I'm Zhao Zejun. Zhao Zejun nodded.
"Hello Mr. Zhao, our general manager would like to invite you to meet. The man said, gave way to the side, and said, "It's less than fifty meters in front of the 'Shunyuan Company'." ”
"Who is your general manager?" Zhao Zejun thought about it, in his own business, there should be no partners of 'Shunyuan Company', and there is no overseas business, and there is no Canadian.
Xingxing Textile has goods sold overseas, but most of them are in the Middle East, and they are all through the Sun family's Tianlong Import and Export Company, and there is no direct contact.
The man refused to speak directly, looked at a few bodyguards, and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't misunderstand. Our general manager is also Chinese, Mr. Zhao, you are the best among the Chinese, come to Toronto, no matter what, we should do our best to be a landlord. ”
said, he smiled: "Maybe, we will have business contacts in the future, you have also seen, North America is a big market, although the political status of the Chinese is not high, but the profit space in the business field is very large." ”
"Who are you?" Zhao Zejun was curious about this 'young man' who had been talking, this person did not look like an errand runner in terms of conversation or momentum.
"I'm just an ordinary company employee. The man grinned, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't get me wrong, the security in the Chinese area of Toronto is much better than most places in the country, and we definitely don't mean anything else." ”
As he spoke, he looked back at the two police officers at the door and said, "Those two are officers from the Toronto City Police Department, and since they have seen it, if we really do anything bad, the police will not let us go." ”
"Who is the general manager of your family?" asked Zhao Zejun.
"They are all descendants of Yan and Huang, you will know when you arrive. The man smiled.
Zhao Zejun smiled and shook his head.
"Let's go. Ding Lan touched Zhao Zejun's arm.
The other party said, "There is no other meaning", and the more they make reassurances on this point, the more it means that there is a problem.
Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.
It's strange for a normal person to want to make friends with another person, and it is already strange for him not to show up, but the god mysteriously refuses to reveal his name, and insists that there is no malice, which is very abnormal.
If nothing else, as soon as they entered the door, two policemen targeted them first. To say that there is no problem at all, who would believe it?
When you go out, you are not afraid of things, and there is no need to provoke right and wrong.
Zhao Zejun smiled: "It's okay to go and have a look, you and Xiaoli go back first." ”
Looking at the other party's style, based on various judgments, Zhao Zejun has a slight bottom in his heart. The other party also aroused some curiosity in him.
As for security, don't worry too much, this is Toronto, not the Golden Triangle, and law and order play a powerful role. Moreover, after the last Dayang Village incident, the military was in charge of security, and with the group of people he led, as long as he did not encounter a large-scale armed shootout, it was enough.
Zhao Zejun really can't think of anyone who has such a deep hatred for himself and wants to do this at the cost of losing his family.
"I'll go with you. Ding Lan said.
"A few can come, a few are shining, a few are here, please. The man on the other side smiled slightly, turned around and led the way.
When passing by the door, a policeman got up and asked in English, 'Is there a problem?' Zhao Zejun smiled slightly and nodded to indicate that it was okay.
When he went out, the assistant walked beside him, and the bodyguards opened up before and after to protect Zhao Zejun and Ding Lan in the middle, and walked forward along the street.
The other party didn't lie, and walked less than 100 meters along Chinatown, and sure enough, he saw a 'Shunyuan Company', which was along the street.
From the outside, this company is just a very ordinary façade, larger than the surrounding façade, and along the street is transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, much like the business stronghold of the protagonist family in The Godfather 1.
Looking inside through the glass, the furnishings are antique, circle chairs, tea seats, and old-school oriental characteristics.
There are also two Orientals and a few foreigners who seem to be talking about business, and it looks like a regular Chinese company.
The main gate was wide open, but the man took Zhao Zejun and his party to enter through the side door of the alley on the side.
As soon as I walked to the side door, I saw two signs hanging at the door.
One piece is still Shunyuan Company, but seeing the other piece, Zhao Zejun and his party finally know why the police paid special attention to it just now.
Another sign, which hangs on the sign of Shunyuan Company, is written in the big words of 'Canada Hong Shunzhi Gongtang'.
Feelings: This is Hongmen's company.
Strictly speaking, it is the Zhigong Hall under the Hongmen.
In the early days, most of the overseas community organizations flaunted the banner of Hongmen, and the Zhigongtang was a relatively large force, and the open creed was "unite with righteousness, save the country with loyalty, and eliminate traitors with chivalry", and it was an organization that organized overseas Chinese, safeguarded the interests of overseas Chinese, and advocated opposing the Qing Dynasty and saving the country. However, because overseas Chinese could not be treated fairly and legally abroad at that time, the Zhigong Court had to use some illegal means to protect the interests of overseas Chinese. Coupled with its own traditions and anti-Qing views, it has led to a less glamorous coat.
But in fact, the Zhi Gong Tang has always been very upright on issues of principle such as national righteousness. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Sun Yat-sen joined the Zhi Gong Tang in Honolulu and served as the "Hong Stick", changing the program to "expelling the Tartars, restoring China, founding the Republic of China, and equalizing land rights", which laid the tone for the Zhi Gong Tang to be a liberation revolutionary organization.
In the following decades, the overseas Chinese in Zhigongtang have made great contributions and sacrifices for national unity, independence, prosperity and strength, and the fight against foreign humiliation.
Among the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, more than 60 are members of the Zhi Gong Court.
After the liberation, the patriots in the Zhi Gong Hall actively participated in the construction of the motherland, and the Zhi Gong Party also became one of the democratic parties in our country.
However, today, the domestic Zhi Gong Dang and the overseas Zhi Gong Tang have long been separated in terms of organizational structure and business, and there is no direct substantive relationship.
The power of the Zhi Gong Tang in North America is quite large, the United States, Canada and other regions have many branches, because each department is actually independent of each other, there are too many sub-departments, it is inevitable that there are good and bad, so it has always been the coexistence of the party and the hall, with the economic development and social progress, the vast majority of the Zhi Gong Tang has also been transformed, becoming a public welfare organization, a hometown association, or a Chinese chamber of commerce, company.
In this sense, although the two police officers just now were 'dutiful', in fact, they did reveal a kind of discrimination against people of color by white people.
There are many associations, party groups, and secret organizations in the West, none of which are clean, and even the legendary Freemasonry and the like are suspected of being anti-human, but these party members will not have the police's 'special care' when they appear in public.
It can be seen that the eight words 'if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different' are found everywhere, and some people are sanctimonious and don't put them on their lips.
"Are you Hongmen or Freemasons?" Zhao Zejun angrily asked the young man who led the way, angrily at a sign on the sign.
This question is a bit awkward.
