The clubhouse of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce is located within the compound land boundary in the courtyard of the Tianhou Temple in the public concession. Because this courtyard predates the existence of the public concession, it is not controlled by foreigners, and it is not subject to the jurisdiction www.biquge.info of patrols in the concession, and the patrols have no right to enter the compound of the clubhouse. Therefore, the general chamber of commerce is located in a kind of three-way zone, and neither the warlords nor the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the concession can control it, which guarantees its privacy to a certain extent.

Yan Buwen contacted Jin Tong in the morning, and after chatting for a few words, Jin Tong was overjoyed, seeing that the "United Chamber of Commerce" had already met and planned to donate 5 million, and now he only needs to get the General Chamber of Commerce, so 10 million donations can be obtained. This also made Jin Tong ponder, it seems that the money he withdrew is still too small, as if it was taken out casually by these businessmen in Shanghai, which also made Jin Tong think about whether he should add some money. But then he dispelled this idea, businessmen, you can't force it too hard, you can get 10 million first, and then you can do it if you are short of money in the future.

Jin Tong asked Yan Buwen to organize a meeting of the staff of the General Chamber of Commerce, and he must let them donate five million.

Yan Buwen nodded, and then talked about the information on the leadership of the General Chamber of Commerce sent by someone yesterday, whether he had seen it.

Jin Tong said that he has seen it, they are all people with background, each family is quite big, on the other hand, every family is quite rich, as long as they are willing to donate, the five million will definitely be fine.

Yan Buwen hung up the phone, and then came to the general chamber of commerce club, the magnificent club building, there were many people coming and going, and many staff were also in and out, Yan Buwen walked in, and a few passing staff greeted him: "Mr. Yan, you are here." ”

Yan Buwen nodded, went to the conference hall in the backyard, and before entering the backyard, someone came over and said: "Mr. Yan, the conference hall in the back has been arranged, and the Chamber of Commerce has issued a notice to summon the leadership to come over for a meeting. ”

Yan Buwen smiled and nodded, walked quickly to the conference hall, and when he was outside the door, he heard the sound of chattering inside, and when Yan Buwen pushed the door in, it suddenly quieted down, and more than a dozen people inside turned their heads to look at Yan Buwen. Yan Buwen glanced at it, except for Chairman Yu Qiaqing, Vice Chairman Fang Jiaobo, and several other vice chairmen, the rest were business representatives from various districts in Shanghai, and they were also the management of the General Chamber of Commerce.

"Vice Chairman Yan is here, disrespectful and disrespectful, I have wanted to visit for a long time, but I am not available, and I got what I wanted today."

"The hero is a teenager, but I didn't expect that the boss Yan I heard about turned out to be just a young man."

Yan Buwen saw the two people who spoke, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, about fifty or sixty years old, their hair and beard were neatly combed, and they were not messy, but there was a bit of a posture of leaning on the old and selling the old in their words, and they didn't seem to look down on Yan Buwen, the vice chairman.

"Haha, Boss Yan, sit down." Someone got out of the way. Then Yu Qiaqing introduced it, except for a few people who already knew each other, and the remaining few people who were scattered all over Shanghai and didn't often come to the General Chamber of Commerce, Yan Buwen also knew who was who. The two who like to rely on the old and sell the old just now are Lu Yingxin, a director who controls five banks, known as the sixth master. The other is Li Mingbo, the owner of several industries in Shanghai, known as the Ninth Master.

The sixth master and the ninth master are not ranked at home, but according to the status of the General Chamber of Commerce, they are discharged. Zhu Baosan, familiar people call him: Boss. And Yu Qiaqing is the second master, and by inference, the sixth and ninth masters are naturally lower than Yu Qiaqing. As the vice chairman, Fang Jiaobo, others call him master, which is naturally so low that his seniority is boundless, and Yan doesn't hear it, everyone else calls Mr. Yan, or politely calls Boss Yan. Although he is the vice chairman, his seniority is lower than that of many employees. Just like Fang Jiaobo and the other vice chairmen, although they are called vice chairmen, their status in the General Chamber of Commerce is probably not as high as the six masters and the ninth masters.

More than 80% of the General Chamber of Commerce are Zhejiang people, and they are developed from the Ningbo Gang, so the General Chamber of Commerce is condensed by Zhejiang people to gather a core, a force, and it is not easy for others to break in. They only call the people of Zhejiang their own, and in comparison, people from other places in the General Chamber of Commerce will be excluded, such as Yan Buwen's position has become a vacant position, and no one listens to Yan Buwen's vice chairman at all. They will only listen to the words of Chairman Yu Qiaqing (from Cixi, Zhejiang), either the words of Vice Chairman Fang Jiaobo (from Ningbo, Zhejiang) and Vice Chairman Fu Zongyao (Zhenhai, Zhejiang, known as the Fourth Master) are very weighty, or the words of the sixth and ninth masters of the old people in the gang. At the beginning, these old Ningbo gang characters died and walked, and the rest were some big people who could cause an earthquake by stomping their feet in Shanghai.

A cigar was lit, and everyone leaned back in the chairs of the conference hall and laughed and talked about things that were irrelevant. While waiting for someone, talk and laugh. Then talking about the Shanghai market, the sixth master Lu Yingxin said: "I want to remind the little brother, those who know the times are Junjie, now Shanghai is not the Shanghai of the Qing Dynasty, just a small place with a big fart, and now the forces here are intertwined, not only the government, but also the chambers of commerce from all walks of life, and the gang forces of various departments." We businessmen often have to act on opportunities, and we have never seen anyone leaning on a tree that is about to fall, little brother, and this move is not stable. ”

The sixth master took a puff of his cigar and laughed. Yan Buwen naturally understood the meaning of the sixth master's mouth, which was nothing more than saying that the warlord was about to fall, and he was an unreliable tree.

Then, the ninth master Li Mingbo said with a smile: "When I went back to my hometown before, I met a fool in our village, he just took a ladle of water and picked a bucket of fertilizer in the manure tank, watering and fertilizing a dying tree, you say it's not ridiculous, haha." ”

"Fool, Ninth Master, don't ask for too much." Others laughed.

"I'm just afraid that someone is worse than a fool." The ninth master, Lee Myung-bak, smiled, smoked a cigarette, and talked with other people.

Yan Buwen also smiled and said, "Ninth Master, there is a fool in your village, and there is also a fool in my hometown village, which is quite a coincidence." ”

"Oh?" Ninth Master Li Mingbo turned his head to look at Yan Buwen.

Yan Buwen said: "When I was a child before, our village was ransacked by a group of bandits, and then a group of Qing Dynasty troops came to exterminate the bandits, and temporarily lived in our village. The officer was very pleased, so he rewarded the fool with something, and made the fool happy. After a few years, the Qing Dynasty fell, and when the previous officer ran away, he passed by our village, and the fool did not show up, and the previous bandit leader became a revolutionary army, and came to pursue the officer, and he also lived in our village temporarily, and the fool also ran over to the bandit leader and said: The fool misses you, the fool misses you. And guess what? ”

The sixth master and the ninth master lowered their faces coldly and asked, "How?" ”

Yan Buwen said coldly: "The fool was killed by the revolutionary army together with the officers of the former Qing Dynasty for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”
