The family is easy to talk to, and Li Weimin's so-called showdown does not need to rush back to the embankment in person, and sit in the Chinese Council Hall or which restaurant to negotiate face-to-face with the leaders and deputy leaders of the Five Gangs and other overseas Chinese leaders of the older generation.

All you need to do is make a phone call to the shareholders of the industrial investment company one by one and ask them to do the work of the old men.

Ma Anyi is not only a shareholder of the industrial investment company, but also a member of the board of directors representing more than a dozen shareholders, and in the past two months, he has been running to the headquarters whenever he has time, often dealing with Chen Shiguo and Wu Andong, and even going to the Independence Palace for meetings as a representative of the industrial and commercial circles.

In a sense, Wu Tingyan only recognizes these young overseas Chinese leaders, and is not ready to deal with Ma Guoxuan and other old foxes on the embankment.

Other things are easy to do, but now not only do the old man hand over power, but also ask the old man to hand over the property, this work is not a little bit or two difficult to do.

He made the tea, carefully gave the old man a cup, and said in a low voice: "Dad, times have changed, and many things are not something that you can't let go of." For the people, it is very clear that those who know the times are handsome, and we can't toast without eating and drinking. ”

"I won't eat toasts, see how they punish them!"

The property is donated by the people little by little, and it is accumulated by several generations of fellow villagers, so why should it be handed over, isn't this a robbery? Ma Guoxuan won't be able to turn this corner for a while, if Li Weimin is here, he will definitely be scolded by him as an uncle.

The old man was angry, and Ma Anyi was really a little afraid.

But this matter is related to his face as a director of the industrial investment company, if he can't do it well, his cousin can't explain it, and even the Independence Palace will have an opinion about him.

If Wu Tingyan is not happy, how will he make a lot of money in the future, and how can Majia Textile Factory become a leading enterprise in the textile industry supported by the government.

"Dad, don't forget where we are, the consulate is unreliable, and the priest who just came from Taiwan can't believe it. Even the students of the Chinese Youth Association know that they live in Vietnam, love Vietnam, and build Vietnam, so why can't you turn this corner?

The law does not blame the people, and that which is good in other places, is not good here. If the Vietnamese are really provoked, it is not impossible to confiscate property and deport the country, and those black sheep are not said to be caught, I heard that several have been shot. ”

It is not only the houses and land, but also the temples, ancestral halls, schools and hospitals. In Ma Guoxuan's view, if he handed over all of these, it would mean that he would not have his ancestors and would not have the future.

His face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Ma Anyi was anxious, and said bluntly: "It is the Huaqing Association that takes the initiative to hand it over, and in the final analysis, it is still in our own hands." If it is banned, the government will take over, and how ugly it is to be banned. The general trend is that instead of procrastinating, it is better to simply do it. ”

"Don't say it, if you want to say it, let Weimin tell me."

Ma Guoxuan brushed his sleeves away, and Ma Anyi was depressed.

A similar scene was staged at the same time at the house of the chief and deputy gang leaders of the five gangs, and only the Hakka gang agreed to hand it over, and the consulate phone calls were one after another, and Jiang Enkai was in a mess.

The gang leaders were anxious, and one of his guests was even more anxious.

Fr. Nguyen Lok Hoa and Fr. Lei Zhenyuan have known Nguyen Dinh Diem for a long time and were entrusted by President Chiang to visit Saigon to strengthen "relations between the two countries", and Ngo Dinh Diem received him very warmly and was optimistic about the future relations between Vietnam and the Republic of China.

However, as soon as the issue of overseas Chinese was mentioned, Ngo Dinh Diem pushed him to the "Foreigners' Management Committee" and asked him to go to Li Weimin, a member of the committee, chairman of the Vietnamese Red Cross Society, and chairman of the board of directors of the Industrial Investment Company.

The Committee has only one name, no full-time staff, and no fixed office location.

The Red Cross was located in a small alley on Sister Zheng's Street, in two very old and simple offices, with a total of 17 people, including four volunteers, and most of them went out, only two people remained.

When I asked where Chairman Li was, no one knew.

It wasn't until the consulate staff who accompanied them asked if "Mr. Min" was there that they told him that Mr. Min had gone to help the refugees and did not know when he would return.

No one could be found in these two places, so I had to go to the headquarters of the industrial investment company by the old wharf.

There are more people in the industrial investment company, and there are more things, so I found out their intentions and learned that they had nothing to do with the industrial village project, and the reception staff said that they couldn't help. Because there is still no phone call at Vung Tau Industrial Village, and the chairman is not necessarily at Vung Tau Industrial Village now.

The diaspora issue is the biggest problem between the "two countries", and it is difficult to upgrade to the ambassadorial level without good diplomatic relations, not to mention that the new government is constantly formulating new policies for the Chinese, God knows what will happen next.

If you can't see anyone, you can't talk about big things, and the application to bring a sum of money from Taiwan to set up two Chinese schools in Xidi has been rejected, and now the Five Gangs Association is even more forced to hand over power and money.

The Five Gangs Association has always been concerned about the Republic of China, and the newly rising Huaqing Association is purely a peripheral organization that supports Diem Diem. This initiative cannot be handed over, and once it is handed over, the influence of the Nationalist Government over the millions of overseas Chinese will follow.

Father Ruan Lehua asked eagerly: "Consul Jiang, is Li Weimin a good person to speak?" ”

The actions of the Foreigners Management Committee, the Foreigners Police Brigade and the Chinese Youth Association speak for themselves, and Chiang Enkai knows Vietnam and Ngo Dinh Diem better than him, and does not think that his efforts will have any results, so he said with a wry smile: "Father, if you are providing assistance or coming to invest, you will find that he is very talkative. But when it comes to the issue of overseas Chinese, it is more difficult for him to speak than the Vietnamese. ”

Father Lei Zhenyuan is not Chinese, so it is difficult to express his opinion on this issue, and he sits on the side and remains silent.

Nguyen Lehua is a fake Chinese who has many overseas Chinese friends in Xidi, and like President Chiang, who entrusted him to come, he wants to maintain the status quo.

He took a deep breath and asked with an unhappy expression, "What the hell does he want to do?" ”

"Do what Diem wants to do, I even suspect that all this was instructed by Diem Diem."

"Have you talked to him?"

"I talked about it, and he didn't think the same way as we did. To put it mildly, he has no sense of belonging to the national government. Otherwise, he would not have been able to go to Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines for this overseas fundraising, but not to Taiwan. ”

"Ngo Dinh Diem trusts him a lot?"

"There can be no doubt about this, and now it can be counted as a member of the Cabinet, with more authority in industrial and economic matters than the Minister of Commerce and Industry. Some time ago, there were rumors that he wanted to be ambassador to the United States, but later I heard that he politely refused. ”

Jiang Enkai admired the young man who was so prosperous, took a sip of water, and continued: "If it weren't for his efforts, more than 300,000 Nong people would not have moved south so easily, let alone be resettled by the government. Therefore, his influence among the Nong people has surpassed that of Huang Yasheng before.

Not only is it in charge of industry and the economy, but it also has military power in its hands.

The 5th Infantry Division was nominally subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, but in fact only under his command. In addition to the 5th Infantry Division, there is also a police brigade for the management of foreigners, as well as a security team for the industrial investment company. The Huaqing will listen to him, and the Yueqing will be supported and developed by him, and it can be called the real power faction in the Yan government. ”

A young Chinese in his twenties actually had such great power in the South Vietnamese government, Nguyen Lehua was secretly frightened, and couldn't help asking: "After all, he is still a Chinese, he is not afraid of making a big move?" ”

Jiang Enkai smiled bitterly: "Wu Tingyan trusts and the US government supports, what is he afraid of?" And he has a certain prestige among the Vietnamese, especially the North Vietnamese refugees, if you go to the refugee camp outside the city tomorrow, those refugees may not know Ngo Dinh Diem, but they will definitely know him, and they will definitely say that he is good. ”

Fr. Lei Zhenyuan said coldly: "Chopin of Vietnam, a member of the International Committee of the Red Cross, has a good reputation in the international community. ”

"Where's the West Causeway?"

When he was first appointed to the refugee committee, he went back to the embankment to pay homage to his ancestors, which caused a sensation. Some time ago, the raid action to crack down on illegal crimes and eradicate pornography, gambling, drugs, and gang forces was even more expected. Now not only is it the idol of young people, but even the old overseas Chinese praise him, saying that he is Li Qingtian. ”

"So the Five Gangs have no influence?"

"All the young people were recruited by him into the Huaqing Association, and the rich people were counting on making a fortune with him, even if they didn't pay it and didn't ban it, it would be impossible for the Five Gangs Association to have the same influence as before. There are fewer people who support us, even fewer people who support the Vietminh, and now the Vietminh hates him to the core. ”

Fr. Nguyen Le Hoa mused: "He is determined to support the Vietnamese government and to turn overseas Chinese into Chinese. ”

"You can think of it this way, don't look at him young, he is actually very cunning and has skills. For example, the fight against the black sheep pushes us to the front, but we can only support it. In the end, all the good name belongs to him, and the scolding all belongs to us. On the issue of promoting the naturalization of overseas Chinese, he first lured them with profits, and at the same time let the Chinese Youth Association publicize it.

Many industrialists, businessmen and students have now become naturalized and are actively involved in public welfare under his initiative. If nothing else, there will be big moves next. To put it mildly, in a few years, there will be few expatriates in Xidi. ”

This means that there will be more than one million fewer overseas Chinese in the Nationalist Government at once, and Fr. Nguyen Le Hoa feels very uncomfortable when he thinks that the overseas Vietnamese who once supported the Nationalist Government and who enthusiastically donated money and food to the government will all become Vietnamese Chinese who support the Vietnamese Government in the near future.
