Chapter 18: Li Yaoting

"Shunqing, my uncle's age is not young, and the position of the president is not easy to sit on, hard work, I am now busy with the investment company, and I am already a little dizzy, you can't use your uncle as a cow!"

Since the completion of the Limin Textile Factory, Bai Kuan has been a little satisfied, and wants to enjoy Qingfu, so he is not enthusiastic about the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but Qiao Yu knows that if he wants to use the Chamber of Commerce as a guise to control the community in Yucheng, he must definitely have a president who is wholeheartedly with him, and Bai Kuan is the best candidate, so he persuaded his uncle.

"Uncle, where are you, you are old and strong now, your old wrinkles have decreased a lot in the past six months, there is absolutely no problem with working for another twenty years, and you are willing to give up your president to Huang Million? I already know from the Englishman Tony that he instigated Tony to go to the prefect's yamen to find trouble with us, and if he is made the president, won't we be even more disadvantaged? ”

When Bai Kuan heard that the previous incident was actually made by Huang Million, he immediately hit up with a burst of anger, and said angrily: "The one surnamed Huang is willing to eat foreign rice?" Still settling foreigners to harm our own people? ”

Qiao Cheng also came to persuade Bai Kuan with the third brother, and when he saw that his uncle was loose, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Shun Qing is right, Huang Million has already regarded himself as a foreigner, and he has also entered the foreign religion, you can't watch this scourge become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, our industry has just started, there is a lot of investment, and the real profit is the Limin Textile Factory, and the rest will have to wait for a while, it seems that our momentum is very strong, and the momentum is very strong, but the foundation is not solid, if you can become the president of the Chamber of Commerce, We can integrate the entire business community in Chongqing, and then we don't have to worry about anyone! ”

"You two brothers really deserve to be brothers, they are both big truths, my old man can't listen to you, but I said ugly things ahead, there are some big things that Shunqing has to make your own decisions, uncle is just going to be a tablet and occupy a place for you!"

After doing Bai Kuan's work, Qiao Yu's heart was put down for most of his part, no matter how Huang Million's advantage was not great, so Qiao Yu put his mind on training the Young Guards, Qiao Cheng had also recruited a thousand innocent young people from the countryside, although the requirements were not as strict as the Young Guards, but the recruits were all good boys, and the quality was not bad.

Qiao Yu has been training teenagers for more than a month, has achieved initial results, from which a few very good teenagers have emerged, Wang Huai was born in Orion, the talent for shooting is very high, since he got the Mauser rifle, a little training, a lot of hundreds of shots are about the same, and Li Jingyuan and Zhang Zili have both read a few words, the learning ability is very strong, and they quickly stand out, and there is also a teenager named Liu Yunhong, who is a martial arts family, and he is also the most strong, and he is also outstanding among teenagers, Qiao Yu has observed, Forty people were selected from these teenagers and four elite squads were formed, and Wang Huai and the other four teenagers became the captains of these four squads, and the rest of the teenagers were still trained by Han Yong, and the selected ones were all trained by Qiao Yu, both the depth of training and the intensity of the training have been greatly improved.

Although Qiao Yu did not expect to train these teenagers into special forces, he also hoped that they would become excellent officers in the future, and not only for simple training, but also often talked with each other, telling these teenagers about some of his ideas as if they were silent, the corruption of the Qing court, the greed of local officials, the slackness of the revolutionary party, and the strength of Western countries, all of which were told to them, so that they could have a broad vision.

There are still three days to go before the election of the Chamber of Commerce, and when Qiao Yu was training on the school field, suddenly Wang Tianhe hurriedly came to Qiao Yu's side.

"Young Master, things have changed in the Chamber of Commerce!"

Qiao Yu is very concerned about the Chamber of Commerce, if it is well managed, it is reasonable to have another army, and it can also get financial support, it is categorically not allowed to have an accident, so he hurriedly came to the school with Wang Tianhe.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Young master, you asked me to send someone to infiltrate the party to find out the news, I sent two teenagers to sneak in, and today I sent me a message that Gu Jinhu, the president of the Yucheng Elders' Association, suddenly ordered the people of the Elders' Association to gather, it seems that there is something big, he accidentally found that Huang Million seems to have gone to visit Gu Jinhu, and there are also a few Oriental people who went to find Gu Jinhu, Gu Jinhu also said that he wanted to support Huang Million or something! He felt that the matter was important, so he reported it to me, and I suspected that Huang Million was going to use the Elders' Association to help him seize the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce! ”

Qiao Yu's brows tightened when he heard this, Wang Tianhe's analysis was very reasonable, although the Elder Brothers Association was just a rabble, but there were still a few Orientals who were more worthy of attention!

"Tianhe, you continue to send more people, investigate their plans for me, and know yourself and your opponent!"

Qiao Yu thought that the chamber of commerce election would be an easy thing, but he didn't expect something to happen, so it's okay! I will take a moment with the characters of this era and see what level they have!

Three days passed quickly, the election of the Chamber of Commerce has arrived, and the large and small businessmen of Yucheng have all come together to the mansion of President Li Yaoting, Li Yaoting does not live in the mansion now, but lives in the Liyuan villa, but today is the election of the Chamber of Commerce, and the old man also personally returned to the mansion to preside over things, the solemn style of the Li Mansion is unusual, and it covers a wide area, so it is completely able to entertain these businessmen.

The old man Li Yaotang is seventy-five years old, and it is a rare longevity in this era, and the reception of guests was handed over to the second son Li Heyang, about nine o'clock, Qiao Yu accompanied Bai Kuan to the Li Mansion, and the businessmen who came and went saw Qiao Yu and Bai Kuan arrived, and hurriedly came over to say hello.

"Lao Bai, Shunqing, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Boss Wang is polite! You look more and more energetic! "It was Wang Dongcheng who came, he can be regarded as the businessman who cooperated with Qiao Yu most thoroughly, and his worth was enough to compete for the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but he still took the initiative to back down and left the opportunity to Bai Kuan.

"Shun Qing is like a nine-day phoenix now, and I am like a sparrow, just grabbing your feathers and drinking soup! Isn't this spirit all given by Mr. Qiao? ”

"Boss Wang, aren't you scolding me, after the election, there is still something to talk to you about, you will have a face when you arrive!"

Wang Dongcheng understood, he took the initiative to praise Qiao Yu, isn't it for commercial interests, now whether it is the Limin Textile Factory, or the Garment Factory, the printing and dyeing factory has begun to have profits, and the profit value is more than Wang Dongcheng imagined, in the bottom of his heart Wang Dongcheng is very fortunate to be able to form an alliance with the Qiao family.

The rest of the businessmen also nodded secretly when they saw this scene, although Li Yaoting's net worth is rich, but in terms of strength, Bai Kuan and Wang Dongcheng are not weaker than Li Yaoting, now they are so close, it seems that the president of this chamber of commerce has been determined, why don't you hurry up, at this time, Wang Gui, Xue Shan, Zhang Fuxiang, Yang Xuecheng and other shareholders of Sichuan Investment Company have gathered one after another, everyone has a simple exchange, there is no doubt that these people have completely formed an alliance, This emerging force is showing its unity and strength to the business community in Chongqing.

At this moment, there was a sound in the door of the house, it turned out to be the old man Li who came out to greet him in person, only to see that although the old man was a little hunchbacked, he was still very tall, full of wrinkles, snow-white eyebrows, the old man already needed help to walk, but there was still a hint of light in a pair of old eyes, this old man can crisscross the business community in Chongqing, and he is not a simple character.

"Elder Li, how dare you work to greet you in person, our sin is too great!"

Bai Kuan and Wang Dongcheng hurriedly went over to help the old man, and the old man smiled with a smile on his face: "Shuren, you have set up a factory and developed industry in the past half a year, and your achievements far exceed the old man's efforts for more than ten years, it is really terrifying, the old man is not only to welcome you, but to thank you for the prosperity of industry and commerce, this is a great event for the benefit of the Sichuan people, how can I not come to greet it." ”
