"This young man is Qiao Yu Qiao Shunqing, right? It's really young and promising, I'm really happy for Brother Qiao, I can have such a promising son! Li Yaoting stretched out his big hand full of age spots and grabbed Qiao Yu, looking very kind.

Li Yaoting has been in Sichuan for many years, has deep connections, and has also worshipped his brother Cen Yuying, the father of the governor of Sichuan, Cen Chunxuan, with a noble status, some people even call the old man the prime minister in the field, Qiao Guangyuan also has some contacts with him, no matter in terms of age or status, Qiao Yu should respect this old man.

"Old man, you are polite, but you are old and strong, and you are a banner in the Sichuan business community!"

"Hey! What a big flag, even if it's a big flag, the old man will be handed over to a more capable person today, come and everyone into the house, the old man has nothing to entertain everyone, there is still fragrant tea, please! ”

Everyone followed Li Yaoting into the main hall, a total of more than 200 businessmen came to the party, of which only 20 people were qualified to sit in the main hall, and the rest could only be in the courtyard, but the Li family had already prepared, they all set up sheds, and the layout was very decent, after everyone sat down, Li Heyang waved his hand, and countless maids flew out like butterflies, fluttering over, and served tea to these merchants.

These maids are all seventeen or eighteen years old, petite and exquisite, each wearing a gauze robe, and their figures are extremely graceful, just these maids can see the accumulation, although the Bai family is also a big family, but after all, the time to make a career is not as good as the Li family, how can they have the energy to choose such an excellent maid.

Although everyone was envious in their hearts, they all knew that big things came first, just simply drank two sips of tea, put down the teacup, Li Yaoting coughed lightly: "The old man is grateful to everyone, he has been the president of this chamber of commerce for six years, my body is getting worse and worse, and my energy is not as good as before, for the development of our business community in Yucheng, I think it is still necessary to re-elect a young and strong president, lead everyone, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Li, it is said that you are old and respectful, and you should still be in charge, but since you have taken the initiative to resign as president, then I think the country cannot be left without an owner, and we can't be without a leader, so we should re-elect a new president."

It was a fur merchant who spoke, Qiao Yu didn't know this person, Wang Gui on the side lowered his head and secretly told him, "This person's surname is Xie, and Huang Million is a son and daughter!" ”

It stands to reason that Huang Million does not have an advantage, he should do his best to retain Li Yaoting, even if he can't let Li Yaoting continue to stay, he must win the favor of Li Lao, but he seems to be eager to get Li Yaoting down, which is really interesting.

"What Boss Xie said is that the old man has already abdicated to make way for the virtuous, so let's elect a new president!"

After Li Yaoting finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing, the old man seemed to have some bad feelings in his heart, before the person left, the tea was cold, are you in such a hurry, can't you even say a few kind words? The old man didn't speak, and everyone didn't speak blindly, and after a long silence, the fur merchant surnamed Xie spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we want to elect the president, in my opinion, this president must be a valuable person, a figure with hands and eyes, who can lead everyone to do big things and make a fortune, I want to recommend Huang Million Huang Boss, Huang Boss is extremely prosperous in business, and his net worth is also rich, whether it is black and white, he must give Huang Ye face, even foreigners are polite to Boss Huang, and now the world is the world of foreigners, whether it is the British Empire or the Empire, as long as you stretch out a little finger, the factory that some people are proud of will be turned into ashes, Everyone needs to know the current affairs! ”

"Boss Xie means that Huang Ye is eating foreign rice?" Wang Gui asked with a sneer, he has been tied to Qiao Yu's interests, and he must not fall behind at this time, this is all human favor.

"Wang Gui, I don't care if I eat foreign rice or not, even if you take 10,000 steps back, no matter what kind of food it is, as long as you can eat it, it's better than starving to death! You may not be convinced, but I want to tell you that I have discussed with the British Empire, I am already the exclusive agent of kerosene in Sichuan, this kerosene is a good thing, who can not use lighting? I don't say this to show off to everyone, but to tell everyone that a little benefit from the cracks of other people's hands is enough for us to struggle for a lifetime? We are all merchants, and no one has a grudge against silver, and if I can become the president, this kind of good thing will never forget the big guy! Think about it! ”

Huang Million took the initiative to speak, although it was shameless to say something, but there seemed to be a little bit of crooked reasoning, many people seemed to nod their heads when they listened, Li Yaoting's old man's Shou Mei seemed to be raised, and the flesh on his face twitched slightly, Qiao Yu didn't have any change in expression, just sipping tea slowly, in fact, Huang Million's words represent the thoughts of many shameless businessmen, this kind of person has a name, and it is called comprador.

The comprador is a major cancer in modern China, China is forced to open to the world, the market will be opened, foreign goods will enter in a large way, the country's wealth is a large outflow, to change this passive situation only by working hard to develop industry, with their own manufacturing industry can regain the right to profit, and the comprador class relies on the protection of foreigners, plus their own privileges, while helping foreigners sell goods, while plundering China's resources, enjoying the leftovers of foreigners' rewards.

These people are undoubtedly a group of vampires, plundering China's resources, and at the same time oppressing the living space of the national industry, China's wealth has been sucked up little by little, since modern times, especially after the Republic of China, China's industry, especially heavy industry, has not developed at all, and for decades it still relies on some factories left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to make some guns and steel, and this bleak situation has an extremely important connection with the rapid development of the comprador class. It can be said that their free and easy life is completely based on the suffering of the Chinese people.

Wang Dongcheng coughed and said loudly: "Everyone, Boss Huang has pointed out a clear way for everyone, that is, to be a slave to foreigners, plunder our wealth for foreigners, and live by a little gift from foreign masters, I don't know who is willing!" ”

Although the businessmen present agreed with Huang Million's proposition, but they didn't dare to admit this infamy, Wang Dongcheng glanced at the audience, and continued: "Everyone, it is very difficult to run an industry, but this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the huge profits are far from being comparable to being a slave to foreigners, I have ten percent of the shares in the Limin Textile Factory, and now the dividend in the first month is five thousand taels, that is to say, the textile factory has earned fifty thousand taels in a month, and this is only the first phase of the factory, Now the second phase of the project has been completed, the production capacity of the textile mill has expanded more than three times, according to this momentum, it can be said that it will be able to return to the cost in a year, and the prospects of other factories are also very optimistic, most of the achievements are due to Mr. Qiao's planning, I have never admired anyone in my life, but Mr. Qiao's talent and character absolutely impressed Lao Wang, so I am willing to wave the flag for Mr. Qiao, we can think about it, work for foreigners, after all, the number of people is limited, and you may not even be able to do it in the audience, With the development of the factory industry, everyone has the opportunity to become shareholders and enjoy the benefits of industrial development. ”

Wang Dongcheng's words were reasonable, and he took out the profits of the Limin Textile Factory as an example, everyone knew that the textile factory made money, but they didn't expect to make so much money, and the balance in his heart was more and more inclined to Qiao Yu's side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Boss Wang praised me, so let me say a few words! We are all old business people, I believe we all know the important surname of the capital operation, money can only create more wealth, otherwise how much money is just a number, in fact, not just an industry, the whole society is the same, silver money is like blood, only the blood flow is smooth, people can be healthy, we run our own factory, after making money will continue to invest, can drive more industry development, and workers get paid, will also be spent, Buy more goods, if the money is blood, such a circle, nourishing the entire Yucheng business, and the consequence of helping foreigners is that after the foreigners take away the profits, they will only invest in themselves, and in turn sell more goods to us, to obtain greater profits, and our own blood continues to flow out, but it is getting poorer and weaker, if it goes on like this, I can boldly say that most of the people we are doing will go bankrupt, and even the existing family business is difficult to preserve! ”
