Chapter 39 Kouhu
"Sir, I wonder if you can let us go in and meet Jin Dashuai?" In the courtyard of the general chamber of commerce, several people from the patrol room came over and asked an officer with a smile, there were only more than 20 of them in total, and more than a dozen of them were left in the front building of the general chamber of commerce to "drink tea", and only one leader was left, and he entered the courtyard with a few subordinates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The head of the info patrol room is also extremely depressed, and he usually has to nod his head at the foreigners, no, he has to be submissive to the warlord, he really lives a life, not as good as a dog.
Don't look at the usual arrogance of this foreigner, but there is really no good way to deal with these warlords, and they can't beat them. I can only hope that my own country will put pressure on the Beiyang government to make them relent. But everyone understands that foreigners can't play with their hearts and eyes, and the warlords also do one thing on the surface, but one thing in reality, and they don't look at foreigners in their eyes.
The head of the patrol room naturally understood this, and after asking the chief who was guarding outside, the chief asked him to wait, and Jin Dashuai couldn't be disturbed when he was doing business. So the people in the patrol room waited outside honestly, anyway, good tea and cigarettes were waiting, and they were quite comfortable.
On the other hand, in the conference hall, the people who were still enthusiastic before, as soon as Jin Tong came, it became an ice cellar, and even a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and everyone was a little panicked about the current ruler of Shanghai, and they didn't dare to speak first. Although Fu Zongyao and more than 20 standing people in the audience supported the warlord Sun Chuanfang and Jin Tong, they were also frightened by Jin Tong's pomp and circumstance in a short time. The smug color can only be placed in the heart.
Yu Qiaqing saw Jin Tong and met him a few times, but he didn't have any friendship, and now he is menacing again, and he is afraid that the person who will come will not be good. Yu Qiaqing saw that the people around him didn't speak, so he said: "Since Jin Dashuai said so, let's start." Uncle Jiao, you bring the materials for the regular meeting. ā
Fang Jiaobo hurriedly handed over a pile of materials, Yu Qiaqing glanced at it a few times, and was ready to make a decision on several matters within the General Chamber of Commerce. At this time, Fu Zongyao on the side said: "Wait, why don't you ask Jin Dashuai to come up and say a few words and make some suggestions for our work?" ā
Fu Zong dazzled the six roads, listened to all directions, and obviously noticed the subtle changes in Jin Tong's face, and knew that Jin Tong had something to say, so he hurriedly interrupted. At this time, Jin Tong's fat face stretched slightly, and Fu Zongyao knew that he had done the right thing.
Jin Tong was about to get up, but Yu Qiaqing said with a smile: "I haven't reported the work of the regular meeting for a week, what suggestions do you make?" After we have discussed a few tasks, if Jin Dashuai wants to give his opinion, it will not be too late at that time. ā
What Yu Qiaqing said was reasonable, Fu Zongyao had nothing to say. Jin Tong could only stand still: "What Chairman Yu said is right, since you want to put forward opinions, you must listen to your work first, and your regular meeting will start first." ā
Fu Zongyao saw that Yu Qiaqing didn't give face, so he could only give up. On the one hand, he listened to Yu Qiaqing's oral description of the recent activities of the General Chamber of Commerce, including road repairs, bridge construction and other projects to benefit the people, as well as some commercial expansion, etc., on the other hand, he quietly said to Yan Buwen next to him: "This Yu Qiaqing is really old and stubborn, how can he do such a thing?" Don't you see that Kim Dashuai is ready? ā
At first, it was very calm, Yu Qiaqing's speed of speech was not fast, it was all small and small things, everyone knew it in their hearts, and listened patiently. Yu Qiaqing's bland tone makes people feel drowsy, and the executive and vice chairmen are not asleep, but they are a little unsure of Yu Qiaqing's key points. Every regular meeting has a theme, and everyone has heard of it this time, which is nothing more than donating money to Sun Chuanfang, and it can be seen that Jin Tong's huge momentum just now is true.
But an hour has passed in the blink of an eye, Yu Qiaqing is still talking about trivial things that don't matter, it's almost noon soon, and everyone has to rush back in the afternoon, isn't Yu Qiaqing going to donate money today? Jin Tong crossed his feet and trembled, this Yu Qiaqing was really endless, and he was already very impatient, if it weren't for Yu Qiaqing's identity as a bigwig in Shanghai's business circles, Jin Tong would have gone up and grabbed him down.
Yan Buwen was playing with the pen next to him, listening honestly. Fu Zongyao flipped through the information in his hand, he had read this information two or three times, why did Yu Qiaqing, the old man, finish speaking. Yu Qiaqing continued unhurriedly, the sixth master and the ninth master and other people who had a good relationship with Yu Lao all looked at each other and smiled, no matter how powerful this Jin Tong was, he didn't dare to do anything to Yu Qiaqing. The rest of the people were looking forward to it, hoping that Yu Qiaqing would finish speaking quickly. Finally, Yu Qiaqing listened, and when everyone thought he had finished speaking, Yu Qiaqing took a sip of tea, then turned a page of the information, and continued to talk about it.
still has no feelings, nothing flat, talks dryly, and doesn't give others a chance to interject. The hopes of the crowd were in vain, and they continued to wait impatiently.
Jin Tong, who was sitting in the front, knocked on the chair and shook hands, and finally couldn't bear it, the sound of "popping" was endless, Jin Tong applauded: "Chairman Yu said well, now the General Chamber of Commerce is choking Shanghai's economic throat, and has done a lot of good things for Shanghai, things that benefit the people, it's really amazing." ā
The dull atmosphere was suddenly disrupted, and Yu Qiaqing raised her head and looked at Jin Tong, as if she had just remembered that there was such a person. Yu Qiaqing said apologetically: "When I'm old, I like to talk nonsense, and I can't stop talking about it, just like to say that all the work is almost done, Jin Dashuai or come up to point out?" ā
Jin Tong smiled: "Then I'm welcome." ā
Yu Qiaqing was about to give way, Jin Tong said no need, he just stood on the stage and faced the audience: "The work of the General Chamber of Commerce is very good, since Chairman Yu has invited, then I will come up and say a few words." I am here today mainly for two things, the first of which is a big matter related to the survival of the General Chamber of Commerce! ā
......As soon as Jin Tong's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and they didn't know what could be related to the survival of the General Chamber of Commerce? It can be said that the General Chamber of Commerce has taken root in Shanghai, with intertwined roots and lush branches, who can uproot it? What's more, there is also the "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium" as the backing, and it is not an exaggeration to be rich and rival the country. Everyone thought in their hearts, did Jin Tong come to ask for money today, how did he smell a little else.
Fu Zongyao hurriedly came over, and Yu Qiaqing next to him also came over, and Yan Buwen got up naturally. Jin Tong's eyes signaled, Fu Zongyao and Yan Buwen glanced at each other, and asked Yan Buwen to say first, this fundraising, Yan Buwen is the main one, Fu Zongyao is the auxiliary, and Jin Tong is the backstage. Yan Buwen thought for a while, and said nonsense: "This time, Sun Dashuai has broken all the way to Jiujiang against thieves, but because the bandits were in a hurry and did not bring many materials, he had to withdraw to Nanjing, so in order to better snipe the bandit army in the future, I specially borrowed 10 million yuan from my compatriots, and when the time comes, if the bandit army is defeated, it will be repaid in full, plus 50% interest." ā
Previously, Yan Buwen had asked the "United Chamber of Commerce" to raise 5 million, and only another 5 million was needed, but how could anyone think that there was little money, and it happened that Jin Tong was here today, so Yan Buwen directly asked for a "10 million" loan, and these businessmen did not dare not donate under the coercion of Jin Tong.
It is said to be a loan, but everyone knows that it is just a superficial statement, and in fact it is no different from raising donations for free.
