Chapter 111: Showdown

In Wuhu in November, the weather has become a little cold, and almost all passers-by walking on the road are wrapped in thick clothes.

"It's really cold..."Rubbing his hands, Zhang Shun sighed towards the palm of his hand.

Although he was not wearing a small amount of clothes, and the uniform issued by the factory was quite thick, standing guard on such a cold day still made him feel quite cold.

"Okay, don't complain, when it's time for the changing of the guard, let's just go to the cafeteria for a drink..."

Hearing Zhang Quanquan's words, Zhang Shun and several others responded with a smile.

These were guards, similar in nature to security guards, and they were not guns but batons. In fact, it is enough for them to have batons, after all, there is a patrol battalion outside, and they are only responsible for maintaining order in the factory.

"Brother Quan, how long is it until the changing of the guard..."The longer he stood outside, the more Zhang wanted to drink some wine to warm up by the way, so after standing for a while, he asked Zhang Quanquan.

"Come on, it's probably more than half an hour..."Looking at his watch, Zhang Quanquan looked up and said.

"I really wish the time could pass quickly..."Thinking of the food in the cafeteria, Zhang Shun swallowed.

Just when Zhang Shun was thinking about the food in the cafeteria, a carriage suddenly drove in the distance, although the carriage was hung with the company's logo, Zhang Shun and the others stopped the carriage and checked it, and only let it go after making sure that there was no problem on the carriage.

"It's the first few cars, but I don't know what day it is today. There are so many people here..."Pursing his lips, Zhang Quan was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's almost there..."Zhang Shun on the side also nodded.

After the carriage drove to the office building. Li Liang stepped down from the carriage, and at this time, many people were already standing there in front of the building, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Among these people were those who came back from the United States with Yan Shao, such as Li Liang and Huang Hao, and some were recruited from the local area after the company was established in Wuhu, such as Fu Xiuming and Li Da. In addition to the fact that they are both the backbone of the company, another thing they have in common is that they are both young...

If Ding Mao and Ke Fu are both old-fashioned. Then they are the so-called young Zhuang faction...

"By the way, this time the boss called us all back, what is it for..."After hugging Fu Xiuming very affectionately. Huang Hao said with some curiosity.

Hearing Huang Hao's words, everyone else also looked over.

Everyone present knew very well that as Yan Shao's 'pro-soldier' captain, if there was anything. Fu Xiuming was definitely the first to know the Tao. So they all wanted to hear a little bit of information from him. However, after hearing Huang Hao's words, Fu Xiuming just smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Yan Shao called these people back to do something, of course he knew the Dao, but he knew the Dao, and now is not the time to tell the matter.

Seeing that Huang Hao sold the guanzi, Huang Hao and the others pouted at the same time, but they became more curious in their hearts.

After a few pleasantries outside. The group walked into the office building.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and the building that used to look big now looks a little smaller...", looking at the lobby, which was already a little cramped. Li Da smiled and said to the person next to him.

"Okay, don't dislike it..."Patting him on the back with a smile, Fu Xiuming laughed. The new one is already under construction, but it won't be built in a few days, and if you want to see the new building, you can only wait until next summer, and you can only use this for now..."

Because the textile factory was built in a hurry, the entire building was only three stories high, and of course, for a textile factory with only a few thousand people at the time, such a large office building was enough. It's just that after the factory evolved into a group, it was a little inappropriate to continue using this building.

First, the building is somewhat troublesome in the textile factory, and the other is that compared with the increasing number of branches, the building is also much smaller, and if you count some projects in preparation, I am afraid that even the office is not enough. Therefore, after the announcement of the establishment of the group, the new group building took office.

Compared with the original office building, the new building not only has telephone lines laid in every room, but Yan Shao also funded a considerable amount of air-conditioning equipment from the United Statesβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” but there is no way, the summer in Wuhu is too hot, and electric fans alone are no longer enough to save the world.

On the other hand, Yan Shao has already installed several air conditioning equipment in the manor a long time ago, and after experiencing it in Yan Shao's home, many people also have great expectations for this new temperature control equipment, and even look forward to the new office building.

After nodding to a beautiful female assistant hired at the door of the conference room, the group walked into the conference room in a row.

When they walked into the conference room, they found that there were already a lot of people sitting in the conference room at this time, and they were all the leaders of the patrol team and the guard...

Seeing this scene, some people secretly frowned.

They originally thought that this was just an internal meeting of the company, and the main purpose was only to discuss the company's future path or something, but now it seems that the situation is more complicated than expected...

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Seeing that everyone seemed to have arrived, Yan Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded, and after motioning for everyone to sit down, Yan Shao directly said the purpose of calling them back this time.

"What do you think of the current situation..."

"This..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did someone speak. The recent situation of the company..."Obviously, I thought that Yan Shao was asking about the overall situation of the company...

But before he could finish speaking, Yan Shao had already patted his head and interrupted him. "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear, but what I want to say is, what do you think of the situation in this country..."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone present was a smart person, and at this point, it was natural to understand that this meeting was not as simple as they imagined.

After a brief silence, Li Liang was the first to break the deadlock. "Boss, what do you mean..."

"What do I mean...", his finger tapped the table, and Yan Shao said lightly. Others may not know what to do, but Li Liang, you came back from the United States with me, and you should know very well that the purpose of my return to China was to contribute some of my own strength to this country, so I chose to set up an industry in Wuhu..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Li Liang and the others all nodded, of course they remembered what Yan Shao said to them when he returned to China. The rest are not from the United States, and they have heard such words from Li Liang, so there is no doubt about it.

On the other side, Yan Shao continued. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Although it is a good way to set up an industry, there is a good saying, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, of course, this sentence may be used here to be a little ...... But if the Qing court itself is already decaying, then no matter how hard we work, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get any good results..."

Hearing this, the people in the conference room all raised their heads and focused their attention on Yan Shao, and at this point, they could more or less guess Yan Shao's next words.

"So..."After a slight pause, seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Yan Shao continued. I intend to make a revolution like any other revolutionary organization and overthrow the Manchus..."

"Revolution..."

is no stranger to this word, whether it is Li Liang who has returned from the United States, or locals like Fu Xiuming.

In fact, the activities of the League in the United States are also very active, but most of them are in the San Francisco area, and there are not many activities in New York, but even so, Li Liang and the others have heard some of the League's talk about revolution.

As for Fu Xiuming, it is simpler, after all, the activities of the League in China are very active, and almost every year you can hear about the revolution in the name of the League. And after hearing that Yan Shao was also planning to do this, some people's faces suddenly became excited.

"So, are we going to join the Alliance?" Although it is not the only revolutionary group such as the League, the League is undoubtedly the most influential among all groups, so after hesitating for a while, Li Da, who was sitting at the back, said softly.

"No..."Yan Shao shook his head. I didn't imagine China to be the same as the Alliance, so I'm going to set up my own door..."

Hearing this, Li Da nodded and didn't say anything more.

After all the words are spoken, the rest is simple.

After some silence, everyone expressed their willingness to follow Yan Shao.

This is not surprising, the people Yan Shao called this time are basically some young people. In those years, it can be said that there were almost no young people who had a favorable impression of the Qing government, and because they were young, they were more enthusiastic about the revolution. In addition, when selecting candidates, Yan Shao is also very cautious, and he selects people who can be trusted, at least people who will not betray him at this stage...

"Then when are we going to have an incident..."After everything was established, Huang Hao said with a little excitement.

It's been a year since he returned to China, and to be honest, he is really disappointed in today's China, plus he grew up in the United States since he was a child, so he has no worries, so Huang Hao is more hopeful that he can do something big.

After hearing his words, Yan Shao smiled and said. "Don't be in a hurry, now is the time to accumulate energy, and everything will have to wait until the time is right."

Hearing him say this, Li Liang and the others all nodded.

Although the Qing government is almost rotten now, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and at least in the short term, the Qing government is not something they can compete with. Therefore, if Yan Shao declares an uprising at this time, no matter how much they don't have a good impression of the Qing government, I'm afraid they will need to consider the issue of withdrawing.
