Compared with the personnel of the security team, the reserve force is the main force, and it can play a decisive role at critical moments.

As long as the industrial village can develop, as long as the factory owners in the industrial village are united, then the expanded security forces will become the fist of the Chinese.

Zhang Qinggui and Huang Duqing glanced at each other and said meaningfully: "Mr. Li is far-sighted, we have nothing to worry about. Now wait for Mr. Li's order to organize more than 300,000 villagers in Nong District to retreat south. ”

"General Zhang, General Huang, I don't need to give orders when to retreat south."

A familiar voice came, and when I looked back, I saw Li Weimin standing behind him with a radio. As the crowd got up to greet them, he shook his head and put the radio on the coffee table, turning it up to the clearest frequency.

“…… Cessation of all hostilities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Within the prescribed period, French troops were withdrawn from the above three countries, and Vietnamese volunteers were withdrawn from Cambodia and Laos; Lao fighting units were transferred to Phongsali and Sam Nu provinces, and the Khmer army, which consisted of local residents, was disbanded on the spot.

Second, the Tien Luong River, south of the 17th parallel of latitude and north of Highway 9, is the temporary military demarcation line, and the warring parties are to withdraw their respective forces to each side of the demarcation line within a time limit and establish a demilitarized zone within 5 kilometres on each side of the military demarcation line.

Thirdly, Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia will hold free national elections within the time specified separately in order to achieve their respective peace and reunification on the basis of democracy; Fourth, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are not allowed to participate in any military alliance, nor are they allowed to allow any foreign country to establish military bases on the territory of the three countries or interfere in the internal affairs of the three countries. Foreign troops, military personnel, weapons and ammunition are prohibited from entering the three countries.

5. Establishment of an international commission with the participation of Canada, India and Poland and chaired by the representative of India to monitor and monitor the implementation of the agreement......"

Although he has previously revealed that despite similar speculation in society, the "Final Declaration of the Geneva Conference", "Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Vietnam", "Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Laos", and "Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities in Cambodia" broadcast by the announcer are still shocking.

After more than 70 days of confrontation and compromise, at 6:30 a.m. on July 21, Saigon time, Vietnam was cut in half into two parts, the north and the south, and the Geneva Conference, which had been entangled for many days, finally came to an end!

Sure enough, there was a clause in the agreement that the people of the north and the south could move freely within 300 days after the armistice, and Major General Zhang Yinggui stood up suddenly, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Mr. Li, I will go to the headquarters of the expeditionary force immediately, if the French do not let us get on the ship and do not allow us to retreat south, then they will not want to withdraw from North Vietnam smoothly!" ”

The agreement made it clear that the French troops were to withdraw from Hanoi by November. As soon as they leave, North Vietnam will become the world of the Viet Minh, and it will not be as easy as it is now. The so-called 300 days are actually only 90 days.

Huang Duqing clenched his fists and said eagerly: "Mr. Li, I will get on the boat to send electricity to Mong Cai, and the evacuation operation will start immediately, and there will be no delay for a minute!" ”

One went to the French to theorize, and the other arranged for evacuation, which was previously discussed. If nothing else, General Huang Yasheng would definitely rush to Hanoi as soon as possible and find the French troops stationed there to do the same thing as Zhang Yinggui.

Li Weimin shook their hands tightly, and said expressionlessly: "The two of you act according to the plan, I will go to Jialong Palace after the board meeting, and if there is any news, contact Secretary Ruan, she will tell me as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, contact me if there is any news."

The first board of directors of Vietnam Industrial Estate Investment Co., Ltd., which was originally scheduled to be held at 7:30, was delayed until 8:45 because of this sudden news.

Dividing Vietnam into north and south along the 17th parallel, a thunderbolt blew up the whole of Saigon, and students and workers took to the streets to protest, blocking several major roads, and the board members had to take a detour, and Ma An Yi and Huang Ziheng even got off the bus halfway to change to a small fishing boat.

The government has no stake in the company but has investments, such as the four-story building, such as the wharf and the warehouse behind it, and the land allocated for free including Phu Quoc. Island. Therefore, Chen Shiguo, Wu Andong and Nguyen Chi Nhence entered the board of directors on behalf of the government, and served as vice chairman, deputy general manager and head of the security department of the company respectively.

In the first round of financing, the overseas Chinese on the embankment paid real money, and Wu Jingchen, Ma Anyi and Huang Ziheng represented more than 30 minority shareholders to enter the board of directors as a matter of course.

MSU provided $5 million in seed funding, a huge amount of money from an unexplained private foundation, not a government grant, without going through Congress, and to be repaid in the future, which is equivalent to an interest-free loan, so Li Weimin justifiably regarded it as an investment for the Li family.

Whether or not Vietnamese Chinese capital can be effectively utilized is directly related to the success or failure of the plan.

Professor Fisher had no opinion, and Professor Anderson, a part-time worker, had no opinion, so he joined the board of directors as an independent director to supervise the use of funds and supervise the implementation of the plan.

Diem's most powerful supporter, Bishop Spelman of the American Catholic Church, and his representative, Father Harnett, proved to be very wise and far-sighted.

At the persuasion of Professors Fisher and Anderson, several Catholic organizations in the United States injected $2 million into the company in exchange for $50 for a job.

Infrastructure construction requires a lot of labor, and it is really not a matter of employment for 40,000 Vietnamese Catholics. Besides, the next overseas financing will have to take their tailwind, and Li Weimin agreed. As a result, the church also did not own the shares, and also sent a representative to the board of directors as an independent director.

The news was so shocking that everyone introduced each other about what was happening outside and what the effects it would bring.

"Teachers, students, workers, and ordinary citizens were pouring into the Doge's palace from all directions, the expeditionary force command declared martial law and urgently mobilized troops into the city, and many policemen and Vietnamese soldiers were equally dissatisfied with the agreement, and instead of carrying out the French orders, they joined the march to protest."

Chen Shiguo was not dissatisfied, but very angry, he gritted his teeth and said: "This is Francis (French Prime Minister) who cut off our arms alive and gave them to the enemy as sacrifices!" The vast majority of people didn't expect the solution to be the rupture of mountains and rivers, and on the way here, the students were filled with grief and anger, and cried bitterly. ”

Nguyen Chi Nhon said even more hatefully: "If the French are not capable of fighting, get out of Vietnam, let us fight ourselves!" ”

In contrast, Wu Andong was much calmer, he took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "The Vietminh fought for seven years, paid such a big price, and finally won the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, but in exchange for such a result. We are not satisfied, and they will not be satisfied, and they will certainly think that this is an unfair and even humiliating agreement. ”

Professor Anderson shrugged his shoulders and rightly said, "They will not be satisfied, because after the partition, the area of land controlled by the Viet Minh guerrillas in the northern and southern countryside is 30% less than before the partition!" ”

Li Weimin took a sip of coffee and asked knowingly, "Professor, what is the attitude of the US government?" ”

"The United States did not sign the agreement, but only promised that it would be implemented without threat."

The more Ruan Zhiren thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed the table with a "snap": "The population of the north is 14 million, and the population of the south is only 11 million, and it is impossible for North Vietnam under the control of the Vietminh to hold free elections in the true sense, and it is unfair to use elections to determine the future." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nguyen Minh Xiu knocked on the door and walked into the conference room, and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Li, Premier Yan has just announced that the flag will be lowered at half-mast to mourn the division of the country, and that today will be designated as 'National Shame Day'. ”

"Come down, answer the call of Mr. Prime Minister, and lower the flag outside."

"Yes."

is not Vietnamese in the first place, and usually does not care much about politics, on the issue of national splitting, Wu Jingchen, Ma Anyi and Huang Ziheng really don't feel anything, the three of them look at each other, and they don't know whether they should follow the same enemy.

Hundreds of thousands of Nong people were waiting to retreat south, Li Weimin didn't have time to talk about these anymore, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, politicians have politicians to worry about political matters, and I have great confidence in Premier Yan and believe that he can handle it well." Our job is to develop industry, boost the economy, and find ways to help the government ease the pressure on refugee relief and resettlement.

In view of the fact that the capital and asset structure of the company is different from that of ordinary companies, I propose that the shareholders' representatives, government representatives, church representatives and independent directors present at the table have equal voting rights in the company's major decisions. In addition, as the formulator and executor of the industrial village plan and the initiator of the industrial investment company, in the spirit of being responsible for the industrial village plan, the industrial investment company and the shareholders, I need the board of directors to grant me a veto power, and I ask gentlemen to vote by a show of hands. ”

Of course, it's good for the brother-in-law to have the final say, but it's obviously not appropriate to raise your hand in support first.

Wu Jingchen pretended to be considerate and did not make a clear statement. I said it a long time before I came, Ma Anyi and Huang Ziheng looked at him with his horse, and they were also in no hurry to raise their hands.

The situation is very clear, the government has three votes, the overseas Chinese shareholders have three votes, the Catholic Church has one vote, and basically one vote can represent Professor Anderson of the US government.

Chen Shiguo directly believes that the church's vote will support Premier Dim Dinh Diem, and Professor Anderson will also support it, even if the chairman sides with the Chinese, the government still has the advantage and can still win back 5-4. As for the veto power, we cannot but give the Chinese a little sweetness, otherwise the second round of financing will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

He weighed it a little and was the first to raise his hand: "I agree!" ”

Vu An Dong and Ruan Zhiren also took the lead and raised their hands one after another to agree, and the first agenda item was unanimously approved;

The second topic was about refugees, the government could not provide so much funds for resettlement, and the industrial investment company could not use so much money for a while, so Li Weimin suggested that the Bank of East Asia should temporarily lend to the refugee committee the proceeds of the bonds of the industrial investment companies underwritten by Wu Jingchen, Ma Anyi, and other overseas Chinese.

Wu Jingchen didn't know that he was throwing bricks and jade, and he was planning to sell the tents and other materials he had stored before to the government in this way, and at the same time lay the foundation for the government to resettle the Nong people after they moved south.

In order to be responsible for the shareholders he represents, he bluntly asked: "Chairman, I have no opinion on supporting the government, whether the key government has the ability to repay, and if it cannot be repaid in time, will it affect the company's next large-scale infrastructure construction?" ”

He was right to ask questions, and if he didn't care about anything, it would be disappointing.

Li Weimin explained with a smile: "Mr. Wu, I plan to lend the funds to the refugee committee temporarily, not to the civil affairs department. If the Refugee Board could commit itself to reimbursement from international assistance, the security of the funds should be assured. ”

The representative of the church was the first to raise his hand and said: "Refugees are in urgent need of help, it takes time to raise funds, and the company has a large amount of idle funds, so I think it is a good idea to lend it to the refugee committee." ”

He had no opinion, and the three Chen Shiguo, who were anxious about Diem, would not have an opinion, and the second agenda item was passed again.
