Chapter 146 Chinese Entrepreneurs Association
Chinese Entrepreneurs Association
On a sunny afternoon, the Australian Embassy ushered in an endless stream of carriages, and the owner of the carriage could see that it was the shopkeeper of Chinese merchants of all sizes in Batavia City as long as he looked closely.
Today, at the invitation of Zhang Wei, they attended a historical symposium, and the main topic of discussion was the history of the former Song Dynasty.
Of course, this is only for external publicity, and internally it is actually the creation and discussion of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.
As you can see from the name, the main participants of this organization are businessmen, and they are all businessmen of Chinese descent.
After all the seats were seated, Zhang Wei raised his glass as an inviter, made a relaxed smile to everyone, and then spoke: "I am honored to invite you to come today, you are all heroes of the economic prosperity and construction of Bacheng, and your daily life in Bacheng will be a mess without you." ”
Although Zhang Wei said a bit exaggerated, but there is not much water in it, the export and sales of Batavia's daily necessities are basically in the hands of the Chinese, if there is a general strike of Chinese businessmen to close the door, it will indeed cause some trouble to the daily operation of Batavia.
The Chinese businessmen who came to the Australian Embassy today are basically at the helm of large and medium-sized businesses and families with a certain strength in Batavia.
Some of them specialize in cloth, some deal in rice, and some run the door to run the transport, in short, the business of these people is a large department store if put together.
Although there are some businesses that Australia does not have business dealings with them, Australians are in the limelight, and if they don't give face, maybe there will be somewhere to find someone in the future.
"Master Zhang, lift love, we are just a businessman, how can we control the daily life of Bacheng." The speaker was a Batavian merchant who ran a rice shop. The surname Li is Dahe, a name that sounds very rude and cheesy, but he is very shrewd, he is not a native of Bacheng, but came here by boat from Daming twenty years ago, relying on his shrewdness and ability, now he has more than a dozen rice shops, and he is also a big man in the industry.
With Li Dahe's words, everyone also echoed them, but in their hearts, they were very useful to Zhang Wei's words, you must know that the status of businessmen is not high, even for some Chinese who have lived in Bacheng for several generations, they do not think that the status of businessmen is high, this is a kind of inferiority complex to themselves from the bones.
"You don't have to be humble, you all know that my country is in the same vein as the former Song Yashan, and there is no longer a distinction between the industrial and commercial classes in the country, all identities are the same, and even businessmen can become state officials. Become Prime Minister and President, as long as you can get an election. ”
Everyone here has only heard about Australia's domestic affairs, but some of them don't know that this is the first time that they have heard from Australian officials that businessmen can also become officials and become prime ministers and presidents, isn't that the emperor and prime minister, although it is only a few years, this life is not in vain.
The purpose of our sitting here today is to establish the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, what is the business name established by the descendants of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the land of Chinese businessmen, so it is a Chinese businessman, and the union is all of us united. This doesn't need to be explained, and everyone understands the meaning.
The purpose of the establishment of the Chinese Entrepreneurs Federation is to enhance the cooperation between each other and mutual benefit, and to implement a unified purchase price and sales price, of course, this is only one of them, its real purpose is to unite these Chinese, in order to obtain their own political discourse in the future to make preparations.
Of course, among the many people here, many of them do not know the true role of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and only a few big families in Bacheng know.
The Chinese Entrepreneurs Association is just a joint organization, as long as the members of the association no matter what kind of difficulties they have suffered, they can get help, and now it is only led by Australia, in fact, they used to have similar organizations, but they did not write specific constitutions like the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day for the establishment of our Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, everyone has done this glass of wine, and in the future, we will earn money together, and we will help together when there are difficulties."
At the end of the signing ceremony of the federation, Zhang Wei raised his glass again and toasted everyone.
Zhuo Wenxiong, the head of the Zhuo family, was the most prominent at the signing ceremony as a representative, and the first one ran up to sign his own Da Ming, and as another Chinese family, the head of the Huang family was also not to be outdone and quickly signed the second name.
This kind of moment is not a moment of hesitation, Australia is looking at it, and I know very well who signed the first to say who is the most supportive of Australians, and there will be benefits in the future, of course, there are also those who choose not to participate, for this part of the people Zhang Wei is not forced, but also gave them a glass of wine and said that if they want to join in the future, they can also apply.
After the meeting, the Zhuo family, the Huang family, and Lao Li all chose to stay, and they were not in a hurry to leave, Zhang Wei knew that they should have something to say to themselves, whether they agreed or not, they would reply.
"Lord Zhang, my Zhuo family is willing to be the leader of this one," even if there is a catastrophe, he is not afraid, Zhuo Wenxiong once again stood up and spoke. was so angry that Huang Tairuo, the head of the Huang family, itched his teeth.
"My Huang family is also willing to be the leader of this one," Huang Tairuo glared at Zhuo Wenxiong and said slowly.
"Haha, I know the intentions of the three, since you can stay, it naturally means that you are all willing, but we have to hide at this time, and we must not let most people know now, so as not to arouse suspicion among the Dutch, I think the three can go back and send the children of the clan to Heishui to be mercenaries for a period of time, so as to make a certain foundation for training their own army in the future, what do the three think."
"It's a good suggestion from Master Zhang, and after Huang goes back, he will send the children of the clan to Heishui," Huang Tairuo didn't let Zhuo Wenxiong take the lead in expressing his position this time.
"Well, Shopkeeper Huang doesn't need to be in such a hurry, the person in charge of Heishui has not been in Bacheng recently, and it won't be too late to wait for them to come back and send them back." At this time, Tang Wei and Jiang Junbo, who were fighting in the rainforest, didn't know that Zhang Wei had invisibly stuffed some of them in.
The three of you can go back and prepare in secret, don't stretch too much, as for inviting others to join, you can choose from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but you must pay attention to the other party's conduct. Zhang Wei repeatedly explained that the reason why he chose these three people was because of their stability, ambition and strength.
Among them, the Zhuo Huang family is the largest Chinese family in Batavia, and Li Dahe is the strongest among the emerging forces, so it is much easier to carry out the next layout with these three people.
