Chapter 181: Knockoffs

Subtitle of the chapter: Who is for and who is against?

"Master Ball, search for ......"

"Host, understood. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Our Second Master Yuan's search doesn't matter, after reading the results, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

In fact, it was different from what he imagined, whether it was Zhigongtang or Anliangtang so far...... Well, until the eighties of the twentieth century, it was a gang that could not be put on the table. Of course, this does not include the Zhi Gong Party, which was washed in vain and went to the other side of the Pacific.

The largest Chinese social organization in the United States is called the Chung Hwa Gongsu, which was founded in New York in 1882 by a group of overseas Chinese businessmen. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Chung Hwa Office had gradually taken shape and its organization had become more and more rigorous.

This society also has a charitable nature, and organized Chinese people to donate to the motherland during the floods in Suzhou, Anhui and Hunan provinces from 1910 to 1911 and the flood of the Yellow River from 1917 to 1918. Later, they also established the "New York Chinese Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association" to support the motherland's anti-Japanese war.

In fact, this Zhonghua Office also sent letters of condolences and gifts to the sick Master Yuan. But his old man didn't take this matter to heart at all, so he lost a chance to make friends.

The Anliang Tang and Zhi Gong Tang were just overseas Chinese groups under the Chung Hwa Gong Office, which also included the Chung Hwa General Chamber of Commerce (founded in 1904), the United States East Liancheng Association (established in 1900), the Taishan Ningyang Association (founded in 1890), the Kuomintang East American Branch (founded in 1905), and the Xiesheng Association (founded in 1856). This was the first Chinese group in the Americas and the first Hongmen "Tangkou", of which Bruce Lee was once a member. And so on...... By the end of World War II, there were more than 50 overseas Chinese groups.

So don't look at the American Hongmen, even the iron fist is invincible, it is their double-flower red stick. In fact, none of the people in the Anliang Hall, the Zhi Gong Tang or the Xiesheng Club could serve as the chairman of the Chung Hwa Gong Office, and this ban was not broken until the 80s.

Another interesting thing is that the Teochew Association established in 1956 is the only overseas Chinese group that has not joined the Chung Hwa Office, because of the ...... The vast majority of the members of the Chung Hwa Public Office are Cantonese.

He very impolitely dragged the fifth red flag aside, and unceremoniously opened his mouth and asked, "Fifth brother, this is not on the road and not authentic." We're our own brothers, so you're fooling your little brother with these knockoffs? ”

When Li Jie heard this, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Xian, you are really as wise as a torch, and you can even see that they are all fake." But the name of the store is fake, and the craftsmanship is real......"

Master Yuan interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, fifth brother, you can tell the truth." Is it because the people of the Zhonghua Public Office don't look down on you...... Well, are we Hongmen? ”

The fifth red flag smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xian, it's good that you understand." These are the properties of our Hong brothers, and I have collected them all for you......"

He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, speaking of the Zhonghua Public Office, they also invited you to a charity dinner." ”

"What charity dinner?"

Li Jie said in surprise: "Raise funds for the drought in the five provinces of North China." Brother Xian doesn't know? ”

"How do I know this, I am reasonable...... Well, I really don't have time to pay attention to the domestic news. ”

Yuan Yanqian smiled bitterly in her heart, I didn't teach the history books I studied back then, and there was a great drought in five provinces in North China in 1920. It seems that I have taken a look at the "Zilinxi Daily": This summer there was indeed a particularly severe drought in the five provinces of Zhilin, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, and the military disaster of the Zhiwan War made its harm even more serious.

It's just that he didn't care. Because according to Master Yuan's memory, the Republic of China is not a famine every year, and there are disasters every year. What is so strange about a drought? To say that the drought can still surpass the 18-year Shaanxi drought and the 42-year "water, drought and yellow soup" in the "Golden Decade"? (note 1)

However, this drought is indeed a bit unusual, and it is strange that the role of non-governmental relief groups far exceeds that of the Beiyang government. In particular, overseas Chinese enthusiastically donated, which became China's first international disaster relief activity.

The party-state misunderstood me!

In the history textbooks, there are only Zhi Gong Dang and Shuanghua Red Stick, and there is no mention of the Chinese Public Office at all, which makes me think that Hongmen is really awesome in the United States, and he can cover the sky with one hand, and he is also enthusiastic to be the second master of Nintendo.

As for why the party-state didn't mention the Zhonghua Gong, because after 49 years they were anti-communist.

Well, the Chinese circle in New York should all know that Lao Tzu is a son of Hongmen. These old overseas Chinese were already timid and afraid of things, and they were worried about getting into trouble with officials, so they naturally didn't dare to accept their "kindness". Now it seems that having this identity is a burden.

Our Master Yuan said hatefully: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, can't you tell them that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune?" ”

"I told you." Hongqi Lao Wu looked at him innocently and said, "But they all said that this thing doesn't sound like that, that ......."

"Not very reliable, is it?"

"Hehe, the virtuous brother is smart."

Cong, your master, your mother!

John McCall walked over and asked, "Neo, is something wrong?" ”

Things are in trouble!

"It's fine." Our Master Yuan said in a calm tone, "I'll talk to Fifth Brother about a few personal matters. ”

His lawyer rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, let's go inside, it's cold outside, and it doesn't smell very good." ”

Yuan Yanqian just wanted to nod when she remembered something: "John, don't worry about the endorsement fee." Our immediate priority is ......"

At this time, I heard the red flag Lao Wu beckoning: "Everyone go in!" ”

The group entered the large living room on the first floor of Anliang Building, and the guests and hosts were seated, and some people served tea.

Li Yiqing, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed, stood up and hugged his fists around, and said, "Mr. Yuan Yanqian and a few brothers are here today, it is really brilliant. In the next fortunate ......"

Master Yuan showed an impatient look and said, "It's all my own brothers." Fifth brother, don't talk about the scene. Let's get down to business! ”

He also stood up and looked around at the crowd, saying, "All right, I know the difficulties of the brethren." In this way, I won't say anything superfluous, brother. Let's start a pharmaceutical company together. ”

If you do it back and forth, you have to do it yourself.

"I have thought of the name of the company, it is called King hundred mountain, and in Chinese it is called Baisui Mountain. And our first product is Health treatment esscen (literal translation: health treatment essence), Chinese is fairy water. ”

Yuan Yan, who was staring at everyone, lowered her hand and asked, "Who is in favor and who is against?" ”

………………

Note 1: The drought in Shaanxi from the 18th to the 21st year of the Republic of China was extremely tragic, and the population of Shaanxi Province at that time was 13 million, and the number of deaths counted was 2.5 million, which is equivalent to one death in five Shaanxi people!

And that's exactly what happened in the so-called "golden decade".

Correct the previous two mistakes:

First, Murong checked that New York should indeed be classified as a temperate continental climate. However, it is affected by the warm current of Mexico in the summer and the cold current of Labrador in the winter, and it seems that the climate is also acceptable for an oceanic climate.

Second, one friend pointed out that cigars should be cut and wrapped before being heated evenly with a blowtorch. In fact, Murong has not smoked a few high-end cigars, which is really ridiculous and generous.

In short, thank you for the correction of these two patients, and we will see the previous article later.
