After Xiao Zhenlei turned around from the door, a big man immediately asked with a smile: "Nephew Xiao Xian, the old man is very curious, how did you make the two of them not jealous?" You must know that it is not easy to let two women coexist peacefully, and the old man has always been helpless in this kind of thing, which is very nerve-wracking."

Someone next to him immediately burst into laughter, Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "It's not that I have any way, I didn't know that the two of them would get along so well, to be honest, today is the second time I meet them!" ”

Many people in the business community like to be close to Xiao Zhenlei, and they also want to get closer to him, not for anything else, just because he is preparing to build Zhenhua Company, you must know that the investment in the first phase of the project has reached 3 million taels, which is a huge investment, although these people are all business celebrities in Shanghai, but there are very few of them who have a family base of 3 million taels, and the real money on the beach at this time is not these people, but the rich people who do tobacco and arms business, and those rich people hide in the dark and make a fortune. For example, Lu Jiasheng, who smuggles tobacco and soil, is such a rich man, and Yan Laojiu, who has business in both black and white, is such a rich man.

Among these people, Liu Hongsheng, the owner of the cement factory, is like receiving orders from Xiao Zhenlei, Zhu Baosan, who has a hardware business, also wants to get some orders from Xiao Zhenlei, Ding Qinye and Xu Wenweng, who are engaged in the oil industry, also want to get orders from Xiao Zhenlei, and others such as: Zhu Lanfang and Xiang Rusong, who are engaged in the iron industry and machinery industry, Cao Yuweng, who is a timber mill, and others all want to get orders from Xiao Zhenlei.

In this room, only Chen Qimei is the youngest, in the business world, his reputation is not obvious, in terms of seniority, he is too shallow compared with these people, and his seniority is also low, but he is the person in charge here, Yu Qiaqing, Wang Yiting, Shen Manyun and others were introduced by him to join the Alliance, and he also knew and made friends with Li Pingshu, Zhu Baosan and other business celebrities and celebrities, and promoted them to sponsor the revolution, and wanted to gradually master the Chamber of Commerce, the business group and the armed forces, so that the Alliance would have a relatively solid social foundation in Shanghai.

Chen Qimei pulled Xiao Zhenlei and said a lot of words, nothing more than a set of closeness, wanting to bring the relationship between the two closer, after some talking, Xiao Zhenlei also sensed Chen Qimei's intentions, probably to absorb him into the alliance, Chen Qimei has done a lot of things during this time, on the one hand, he helped Huo Yuanjia prepare for the Jingwu Meeting, on the other hand, he is also understanding Xiao Zhenlei from many aspects, and he even sent people to Xiao Zhenlei's hometown to understand the situation.

Sure enough, after the two talked for about half an hour, Chen Qimei said: "Brother Xiao Xian is jealous and hateful, and he is dissatisfied with the foreigners who oppress my Chinese people, I know very well, this can be seen from the fact that Brother Xian gambled on the three gambling masters of the East and defeated the Western Hercules, from these things, it can be seen that Brother Xian is a person who cares about his family and country, I don't know what Brother Xiao Xiandi thinks about the uprisings of revolutionaries in various places?" What do you think of the Qing court's brutal oppression and exploitation of the people today? ”

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and said: "The Qing court has ruled my China for more than 200 years, and now it is terminally ill, this is not only a problem within the Qing court, but also a problem in our entire Chinese society. ”

Hearing Xiao Zhenlei's remarks, Chen Qimei was a little unhappy, but he didn't come out and asked, "Brother Fool is a little bit unintelligible, what's the explanation?" ”

When the more than ten or twenty business people and bigwigs in the room saw Xiao Zhenlei say this, they pricked up their ears and looked at him, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Xiao Zhenlei continued: "With the appearance of Westerners in the field of vision of our Chinese, the thinking of our people is also slowly changing, and a group of people with active thinking have begun to be unwilling to be ruled by the Qing court in ignorance, these people are revolutionaries, such as the League, the Zhongxing Association, the Guangfu Association, and so on, these people have influenced many people, more and more people have begun to awaken, they have begun to be unwilling to be ruled by the Manchus, why are they not willing to continue to be ruled by the Manchus?" Because they see that today's ordinary people are not well fed and clothed, and they want to change this status quo, the reason why our China has become what it is now is mainly because we have several major contradictions in China, the first is the contradiction between the imperial court and the locality, the power of the local court is too great, and the imperial court has gradually lost its local control; The second is the contradiction between the people and the feudal ruling class, which is embodied in the contradictions between peasants and landlords, bureaucrats, and scholars, and between workers and factory owners. The third is the contradiction between the people and imperialism, imperialism put pressure on the Qing court to deprive the people of their interests, the most important of which is the second contradiction, the contradiction between the people and the ruling class is the most important thing, the most direct embodiment is the land annexation of strict zhòng, social wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, the common people have no food, no clothes to wear, they will rebel, as long as these major social contradictions are solved, we China will become strong! ”

Xiao Zhenlei paused when he said this, and Zhu Baosan clapped his hands and was a little incoherent: "Mao Sai suddenly opened, Mao Sai suddenly opened, listening to Xiao Xian's nephew's words, it was like a person in the dark seeing a glimmer of dawn!" ”

Li Pingshu and the others looked at Xiao Zhenlei differently, they didn't expect Xiao Zhenlei to have such insight at a young age, and people who can have this kind of insight are definitely people with great wisdom.

Xiao Zhenlei took a sip of tea and continued: "The foreigners defeated the Qing court, and they wanted the Qing court to pay compensation for the land, but the Qing court had no choice, if you wanted to continue to maintain its dominant position, you couldn't offend the foreigners, and it was easy to solve the problem of cutting the land, anyway, there was a lot of land, but the compensation became a problem, of course, the officials and lords of the Qing court didn't want to pay out of their own pockets, so they could only spread the huge amount of compensation to every person, so all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes increased, and the court looked for a place to apportion, and the place found a place to apportion, this is the current situation, and the people are more bitter than before."

Everyone nodded again and again, and Chen Qimei was noncommittal and asked, "What do you think about the uprisings of revolutionaries in various places?" Why is it that they deserve sympathy, and that their failure is inevitable? ”

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette, and said after a while: "Mr. Sun is the pioneer of the revolution, he has been abroad for a long time, he has seen the strength of the great powers, and the freedom of the people living in the countries of the great powers, and the revolutionary movement he led has repeatedly impacted the fragile rule of the Qing court. Otherwise, who wants to pin their head to their waistband all day? Don't these people deserve sympathy for their actions? However, their uprisings over the years have failed, which is inevitable, God did not let them succeed because they deserved sympathy, I have analyzed some reasons for their failure: first, the organization of the revolutionaries is too loose and imtight, and it is easy to leak secrets and be arrested by the Qing court agents; Second, the members of the revolutionaries were too complex, the good and the bad were uneven, and many of them joined with a speculative mentality, so how could these people have no firm revolutionary heart, so how could they pin their heads to their belts and fight against the Manchu lackeys? Third, there is a great shortage of weapons and equipment, and the Qing court's secret talks, lackeys, and armies are all foreign guns and cannons, but what about the rebel army? Broadsword and spear, how to fight? Fourth, how could the revolutionary party defeat the Qing court without its own armed forces, without a uniformly trained army capable of fighting and without an army that resolutely obeyed the leadership? With the above four points, it is enough to say that they are bound to lose, although the Qing court is crumbling, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the jackals know that they are dying to fight back, not to mention the Manchu court that is unwilling to lose the right to rule? ”

After Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and after a long time, Li Shuping, Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Baosan and others came back to their senses and clapped their hands.
