Vietnamese celebrate the Spring Festival like overseas Chinese, and regard the Spring Festival as the most important festival of the year, but the embankment has a stronger New Year flavor and more Chinese characteristics.

In order to summarize the gains and losses of the 365 days and welcome the arrival of the new year, every year the lunar month will become the busiest time for the people on the embankment.

Merchants of all sizes began to choose a day to thank God, and every household began to clean and repair its façade. Go to the flower market to buy flowers to decorate your home, buy mouse candy, make pancakes, peanut candy Xie Zao, buy a wave of spring (couplet) to decorate the hall......

Lion drums rumble, and small carts selling lion heads are sold along the streets and alleys, awakening children's dreams for the new year; The lion dance teams of the major martial arts halls began to practice intensively, preparing to show their skills in the New Year;

From the Aihua Restaurant on Shuibing Street to the Grand World Luxury Cinema, from Liang Ruxue Street to Zhao Guangfu Street, and then to the Confucius Avenue and Erfu Temple, including the bazaars around Baitieshi Street, there are all kinds of ornaments for worshipping gods and Buddhas and all kinds of ornaments needed for the New Year, all kinds of printed calligraphy and paintings, and stalls such as Fai Chun and Li Shi.

Many old gentlemen and calligraphy enthusiasts set up a desk on each street corner, a stack of red paper, ink, gold juice, and ink discs, serving customers at any time.

The wall behind everyone's back is hung with "New Year", "Happy New Year", "Spring Festival", "Old and Young", "Prosperous Business", "Goods Like Rotation", "Wealth Flow" and so on. The fragrance of ink wafting in the sky is an opportunity for these spring wielders to show their talents.

Compared with those who write couplets, the flower sellers came out earlier.

Every year around the twentieth month of the lunar month, the flower farmers in the neighboring towns will bring a large number of planted plum trees, from the five-way road in the Meishan street section to the Yapo Temple area.

Near the U-shaped bridge is the Pingdong Flower Market, the farmers of the six provinces are familiar with the waterway, and the orchids, chrysanthemums, peonies, sunflowers, cockscombs, and longevity flowers they plant are transported by a boat, and they are placed on the bank of the river to choose from. If their fiancée and sister were still on the embankment, they would definitely go shopping every day and buy a lot of flowers every day.

There are so many people that cars can't drive in at all.

Li Weimin blended in the crowd under the escort of Ah Cheng and others, feeling the strong smell of the New Year, and walked towards the Great China Restaurant. Not to mention that he can't see a few Pingchuan policemen, those policemen don't necessarily know him, even if they meet and know him, even if they want to plot wrongdoing, it is impossible to threaten his safety, because there are too many people, and it is too easy to get out.

Still, there are some preparations to be done.

Qian Xinlin, Gu Changgeng, Gui Qingshan, and Han Shuo, the captain of the foreign police brigade, who had returned from Phu Quoc Island ahead of schedule, had already arranged dozens of eyeliners inside and outside the restaurant, and prepared several evacuation routes. In the eyes of those of them who had dealt with the Japanese military police or the Viet Minh, the enemy was not terrible, but often those who betrayed their compatriots for the sake of profit.

Gui Qingshan writes good calligraphy, and actually set up a table opposite the restaurant, and has just completed a pair of long couplets: the days increase the years, the people increase the longevity, and the spring is full of blessings. The pen was not dry, but a crystal ball was pressed on the corner of the desk, and the onlookers were full of praise.

He had already noticed the arrival of Li Weimin and his entourage, put down the pen and nodded slightly with Ah Cheng. After confirming that everything was normal, Ah Cheng asked the others to stay at the door and accompany the eldest young master inside.

"For the people, they are all upstairs, and eight tables have been set, and we will not go up."

The shareholders of the industrial investment company are basically all there, Li Weimin looked around, and asked casually: "Have the Sanjiang Gang and the Mingxiang Hall been invited?" ”

Wu Jingchen smiled and confirmed: "Please, I'm here too, even the old man of my family is here." ”

"Then I'll go up."

"Go ahead."

The hall on the second floor was full of people, and almost all the overseas Chinese leaders with heads and faces on the embankment came.

The members of the Chinese Council, the chief and deputy leaders and deacons of the Five Gangs, the representatives of the Mingxiang Association and the Sanjiang Gang, the initiators of the clan associations or trade associations of each surname, the principals of the Chinese schools and the directors of the hospitals, and the editors-in-chief of the Chinese newspapers, some closed their eyes and recuperated, some whispered, and some opened their eyes in a daze, but no one drank and ate.

Li Weimin coughed dryly, hugged his fists and said, "Seniors, dad, uncle, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"Wu Ji Shipyard" is about to be transformed into "Wu Ji Heavy Industry", and will soon become a ship, wharf facilities and steel structure manufacturing enterprise supported by the government.

The Bank of East Asia promised to provide $3 million and $24 million in low-interest loans to Piast, promised to help "Wu Kee Heavy Industries" raise funds in the form of public offerings, and the $500,000 R&D fund of the Development Research Center of the Industrial Investment Corporation has been transferred to the shipyard's account, and Wu Tingyan even met his eldest son Wu Jingchen some time ago.

Wu Dayuan had been completely tied to Chenglong's chariot, and immediately got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, some people know, some people don't, let me formally introduce it, this is Brother Guanyun's son-in-law, Wu's son-in-law, nephew of the Ma gang leader, member of the Government Refugee Committee and Foreigners Management Committee, chairman of the Vietnam Red Cross Society, and chairman of the Industrial Village Investment and Development Company Li Weimin."

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, now it is the world of young people, and it is not okay to not accept the old. Brother Guanyun retreated bravely, and I now also handed over the business to the dog Jingchen. You have all seen that An Yi, Chang Ming, and Ziheng are more capable than one another, in my opinion, let go when you should let go, and give young people a chance......"

My husband is so powerful!

Li Weimin was pondering which side his uncle would stand on, and Ma Guoxuan said coldly: "Brother Dayuan, business and helping property are two different things. ”

He now represents the government, not a junior.

Although many people are very dissatisfied with the handover of property, the concept of self-preservation is deep-rooted, and one by one they look at their noses and noses, and they are silent, so that Ma Guoxuan, who has a good relationship with him and Wu Tingyan, is in the front.

The shareholders of the industrial investment company downstairs have all said that they will go to Lansdale to ask for arms for the resettlement village and the security team of the industrial investment company for the Nong people early tomorrow morning, and Li Weimin does not have so much time to play haha and go around in circles with them, and said bluntly: "The seniors should know very well that the government and most of the locals are very dissatisfied with the status quo of the embankment, which involves national sovereignty and national interests, and there is no room for bargaining, and maintaining the status quo is purely an unrealistic fantasy."

I don't know what promises Consul Chiang En Khay and Fr. Nguyen Lok Hoa have made to you, but the position of the Government, especially Prime Minister Diem, is clear. And on this issue, the US government and even the international community will certainly support Prime Minister Dim Diem. This is because it is in line with public international law and international practice, and is a manifestation of respect for the sovereignty of the State of Viet Nam. ”

To go to a Western country, you must first go to the embassy or consulate for a visa, and they allow you to go before you can go.

If it's a tourist visa you can only travel, if it's a student visa you can only study, and if you work and do business it's illegal, you will be deported. Like Vietnam, you can come and go whenever you want, do whatever you want, and even enjoy some privileges that Vietnamese people do not have.

No fool who can sit here knows this.

Looking at their thoughtful looks, Li Weimin continued: "If you are not proactive and cooperative, then the government can only take coercive measures. As a result, it is conceivable that the overseas Chinese who support the Viet Minh will certainly take advantage of the situation, spread all kinds of rumors, and incite thousands of compatriots to strike and even march in the streets, and eventually leave a bad impression to the government and local people that the Chinese are 'selfish' and only willing to enjoy privileges and unwilling to undertake obligations.

Public opinion is overwhelming, what should the government do? There are no eggs under the nest, how should you deal with it then?

I believe that Consul Jiang Enkai will not die without help, and will try his best to arrange for you to go to Taiwan, but can he arrange for dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people to go to Taiwan? From this point of view, if you don't make a decision now, it will be the most 'selfish' manifestation of it. ”

An overseas Chinese leader in his fifties couldn't help but say: "Drive all the Chinese away, and the South Vietnamese economy will be finished!" ”

"Mr. Song, don't overestimate yourself, let alone underestimate others. Half a year ago, no one believed that Prime Minister Diem Diem could do it. Half a year has passed, and he has not only been able to persevere, but also to get better and better; A few months ago, no one believed that the government would be able to evacuate millions of refugees from North Vietnam, let alone resettle so many refugees, but the government did so with the help of the United States and the international community.

South Vietnam's economy was bad enough, how bad could it be?

Before I came, I had people count that only a very small number of Chinese businessmen were engaged in business in South Vietnam, and most of them were fellow villagers. At most, it provided more than 30,000 jobs for local people, but now it can provide more than 40,000 jobs in Pingdong Industrial Village alone, and this is still in the stage of infrastructure construction. ”

Li Weimin paused and continued: "Chinese businessmen in South Vietnam are mainly engaged in the wholesale of small commodities and snacks, not in manufacturing. Business is buying and selling, buying and selling is buying low and selling high, except for a little requirement for capital, in fact, there is no technical content. If you don't do it, others will do it, and if you don't like it, many locals wish that Chinese businessmen wouldn't do it.

As for the embankment, the situation is even more unoptimistic, and a large part of the people outside make a living by doing their own business, which means that a self-sufficient ecosystem has been formed. Not only will it not affect the South Vietnamese economy, but it will worry about its future. ”

An overseas Chinese leader came up with a sentence: "The national government will not sit idly by." ”

"Mr. Wang, you are a member of the Kuomintang, and you should know that the current Nationalist Government is not the Nationalist Government that sent troops into Vietnam in 1945 to accept the surrender of the Japanese army. Retreating to Taiwan, the day is precarious, and there is almost no influence in the international community, what do you ask President Chiang to deal with, is it through diplomatic channels to exert pressure, or send troops to escort and evacuate overseas Chinese? ”

Li Weimin looked back at Ma Guoxuan and said in an unquestionable tone: "After the Spring Festival, the Chinese Youth Association will set up a special organization to take over the five gangs, and send people to join the boards of directors of various Chinese schools, the management of various hospitals, and the editorial boards of various Chinese newspapers. For the benefit of more compatriots, I hope you can cooperate. ”
