At six o'clock in the afternoon, depart on time.

The eldest young master is a person who takes a plane or the special class of the "Great China", and can condescend to sit on his own small cargo ship, the ship boss and the shipwrights were flattered and excited, and checked the machine again and again in the afternoon, for fear of anchoring during the voyage and delaying the young master's major event.

Hearing that he was going to do a "big thing", Qian Xinlin decided to follow him.

I don't know if I don't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, this cargo ship was not only converted into an armed merchant ship, but even the cabin was arranged as a mobile headquarters.

The shipping company Kobayashi occupies a cabin by himself, wearing headphones and sitting in front of the radio station intently typing the code, and the sound of ticking and receiving reports is non-stop; There was a long table in the middle cabin, which was full of today's newspapers, and a large map hung on the bulkhead.

"Ma Gongzi, Wu Gongzi and Young Master Guo want to invite you to dinner, but Mr. Liu helped you push it off, saying that you don't have time for official business; Ah Fai, a shipping company, said that Professor Sanderson had walked around the city today and planned to go to the countryside tomorrow for a field trip. Considering the insecurity outside the city, Ah Hui suggested that he seek help from the embassy......"

The Li family owns and uses a radio station, and almost all of Saigon knows that dozens of boats are floating on the sea, how can they know the location of each boat without a radio station, how to dispatch, and how to rescue if something happens?

There are telephones on the shore and radios on board, which are seamless, and communication with the outside world can be basically unimpeded. Ruan Mingxiu quickly stepped into the role, holding a folder and reporting on the work.

"Mr. Raj-Pierre is making rapid progress, running all over France, West Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway these days, and buying more than two dozen stores. We are decorating and labeling according to your requirements, and recruiting staff for training. ”

She flipped to the next page and continued: "Professor Henry and your six American classmates arrived safely in Hong Kong at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and Mr. Liu Jinghui personally went to the airport to pick them up. ”

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, Li Weimin was very satisfied, put down the newspaper and looked up and said: "Miss Mingxiu, please help me invite Mr. Wang, Mr. Gu and Ah Cai in, they are confused, and Mr. Qian doesn't know why, there are some things that should be discussed with everyone honestly." ”

"It's what I'm supposed to do, no trouble."

Ruan Mingxiu smiled, and there was a lot of charm in an instant.

After a while, Wang Jingui, Gu Jianhua and Ding Maocai followed her into the cabin, and under the signal of the eldest young master, the three of them sat around the long table with restraint and anxiety.

"Miss Mingxiu, you can sit too."

Li Weimin pointed to the empty chair opposite, and while looking around at everyone, he said slowly: "Everyone, the ancients were poor and good alone, and good was good for the world. In just a few decades in this world, time flies like a white horse, and it passes in a blink of an eye. I, Li Weimin, don't want to keep the wealth left by my ancestors and spend my life drinking. I want to do something in a down-to-earth way and leave something for the world. ”

Ding Maocai is an anxious child, and the Ding family has eaten all the Li family's meals for several generations, so he suddenly got up and said: "Young master, I don't know any big truths, but I know the word 'loyalty'. Before you came back, I swore in front of Guan Erye that I would listen to you in this life, and I would do whatever you asked me to do! ”

The whole gang of members, where do they look like people who can do big things.

Li Weimin was made to laugh, and knocked on the table expressionlessly: "Sit down and listen to me." ”

"Oh, you go on."

"I won't do any revolution, what kind of ism, throwing my head and spilling blood. One is that I am afraid of death, and the other is that those isms are too far away from me. People, it's better to be realistic, in fact, it's good for a person to be able to do what is in front of him well. ”

Li Weimin paused, and the words changed: "What is the immediate matter, it is Xidi, that is, us Chinese living in Vietnam." What are we in the eyes of the locals, we are profiteers, 'Tangshanke' who rob them of their jobs, and 'Mingxiang people'.

If you are not of our race, their hearts will be different, we think so, and they think the same way, so there have been many tragic incidents of Chinese exclusion and even massacre of Chinese in history. What is the current situation in Vietnam is that everyone wants to be independent, they all want to drive the French away, and they are the masters of their own affairs.

The reason why we are now able to live and make money on the embankment is entirely because they have to deal with the French, who have some internal problems of their own, and they will not take care of it for a while. The French were losing ground on the battlefield, and it was only a matter of time before they rolled up and returned to their European homeland.

The general trend of the world is that it will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and the current situation of mountains and scattered sand cannot last forever, so it is conceivable that no matter who reunifies Vietnam in the future and who is in power, who will be the next target to deal with? ”

Nguyen Minh Xiu, who has always lived in Hanoi, knows very well how the Vietnamese view the Chinese, and her husband died on the battlefield against the Viet Minh, feeling that her cousin-in-law is very reasonable, she can't help but say: "Mr. Lee, if we really get to that point, we can go, we can go to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and France." ”

"We can go, but what about the others?"

After all, the rich overseas Chinese on the embankment are a minority, and more are poor, but they are not as poor as the locals. Ruan Mingxiu reacted and was immediately embarrassed.

Li Weimin acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and continued: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." I want to do my best to prepare for a rainy day, even if I can run faster in the future, and I can also help more people run. Of course, running away is the next step.

We were born here, we grew up here, and most of Saigon was almost developed by us, so why do you say that if you drive us away, you will drive us away?

And how good it is here, the climate is pleasant, the products are abundant, and the rice is harvested three times a year. There is timber in the mountains, minerals in the ground, and fish in the water, as long as you are not so lazy, you can live a life without food and clothing, and where can you find such a good place to live after you leave......"

Wang Jingui and Gu Jianhua were thoughtful, Ding Maocai listened enthusiastically, and Qian Xinlin nodded thoughtfully.

"It's none of my business, hang high, and say that most of the Chinese on the embankment. I have enjoyed peace for too long, I have forgotten the blood lessons of my ancestors, I am all blinded by the immediate interests, I don't know what is happening outside, I don't have a sense of crisis, I only know how to make money, make money and make money.

What the Viet Minh are doing, they are fighting a war and pushing out land reform. In their eyes, those who do business are the exploiting class, the black-hearted capitalists. If we hit Saigon, we will all be the targets of reform, and when the time comes, we will have our lives to make money and not to spend our lives, and we don't even know how to die. ”

Li Weimin got up and walked to the map, pointed to the upper right corner and continued: "The Chinese on the embankment have no sense of crisis, and they are intrigued and scattered, and it is purely a fool's dream to expect them to protect themselves, at least in a short period of time. The Nongs in Haining and Lang Son are different, they are surrounded by Viet Minh, and if the French withdraw, they will suffer a catastrophe!

The destination of our trip is Mong Cai, to find General Huang Yasheng, move them with affection and reason, and pull them to our side. They have people, guns, combat experience, and are bitter enemies with the Viet Minh. As long as they can work with us, then we will be more confident and have a greater sense of security. ”
