Chapter Seventy-Three: The Troubles of the Hall Master
At the beginning, because there were people inside the hall who were angry about the rolling wealth of the wharf and wanted to pick fruits to make a lot of noise, Lei Hu was not bothered and wanted to shake his hands directly, and even left Zhongyi Hall altogether.
Hall Master Qin Bao was shocked when he heard Lei Hu's heart, and resolutely disagreed with Lei Hu to let go, and even threatened to make the red-eyed high-level look good.
No need!
Seeing Qin Bao's resolute attitude, coupled with the close relationship between the two, Lei Hu couldn't really let go, but he objected to Qin Bao's brutal methods, and made it clear that since the other party was interested in dock affairs, it would be good to simply set aside an area for him to be in charge.
Let's see if this guy has the ability to manage it well, and then it's not too late to make a decision.
As a result, things were settled.
The high-level executives who were interested in the wharf took over part of the management of the wharf, but unfortunately it was only half a month before he could hold on.
This guy was so soft in front of the foreigners, and as a result, the arrogance of some foreigners was brought out, and there was a lot of chaos in the past half a month, which caused a lot of losses in the dock and the hall.
No need for the hall master Qin Bao to show his attitude, let alone Lei Hu's attitude, the rest of the hall leaders unanimously decided to take down that guy and kick it out of the Zhongyi Hall directly.
As for the dock, it is still managed by Lei Hu, and others can't handle it at all, and the trouble of a foreigner alone is enough to make the high-level officials of Tangkou directly unlucky to be pushed out to calm the dissatisfaction within Tangkou.
After that incident, there were no other voices in the hall that had other ideas about the management of the wharf, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have that ability.
It's just a place next to it, like Chancheng Wharf, a place that often has business dealings with foreigners and maritime merchants, once something goes wrong, it's not a joke.
Even the government will not allow chaos, and no one at the top of the hall can afford such consequences.
Zhongyitang has entered a period of steady development, and there are many ways to make money, especially with the wharf as a money-absorbing weapon, just doing some surrounding supporting business is enough to make the high-level of the hall full of food and drink, and can also take care of his brothers and even relatives and friends in his hometown, no one is willing to take great risks to make trouble.
In the past year, several large farms have been built in the countryside around the wharf, and the largest one naturally belongs to the militia group, and more than 50 militia group young people have been directly arranged to serve as farm workers, specially providing vegetables, meat and eggs for the wharf, so that life is not too prosperous.
Tangkou many high-level follow-up, but also set up a few small and medium-sized farms, according to the strength of different scales, through the ecological recycling farm model promoted by Lei Hu, each of them operates a supporting set of special agricultural products, together as a supplier of wharf agricultural products, in just a few months to make a lot of money, several farms have earned back.
Not only that, but there is also the fishing fleet that has just been formed, and the supporting industries such as garment workshops, most of which have fallen into the hands of the high-level of the hall, and through the crowd effect of the wharf, the business is quite good, although it is not as much as the wharf, but it is also a lot.
The current Zhongyitang is not a pure gang organization, and has begun to transform into a business group, of course, it is necessary to use force to protect their growing interests.
In these turbulent times, this is a necessary means to protect oneself and one's property.
As for the traditional gang business before Tangkou, it can no longer enter the eyes of these high-level leaders who have begun to get rich, and it is just a form of maintenance.
The fixed protection fee collected is only necessary to stabilize the market, otherwise they would have withdrawn this kind of work that requires a lot of manpower and material resources and does not have a good reputation.
After doing business, the high-level officials of Tangkou have ardent requirements for the stable environment of Chancheng, and they wish that they could do business in the entire Lingnan and even the entire Jiangnan region.
Of course, such a thing can only be thought about, just waiting for the hall master Qin Bao to come over and bring everyone a great news, such an ambition is actually not an unattainable goal.
The matter of buying officials, which was proposed by Lei Hu and personally handled by the hall master Qin Bao, has now become eyebrow-raising, and it won't be long before the high-level officials of the hall will have a layer of official skin.
It's all a fictitious title, unless there are real positions in Chancheng and Zhouquan County, otherwise they won't leave Chancheng easily, and Zhongyitang doesn't have so much financial resources and resources, so they let the high-level officials of Tangkou become substantive officials.
But with an official skin, many things are much more convenient to do, at least there is no need to worry about communicating with the officials of the surrounding prefectures and counties.
In the past, although the effect of using silver to open the road was good, it was very unstable, in case the surrounding prefecture and county officials were a little darker, the previous large investment would be wasted.
Some officials are even more excessive, they only have silver in their eyes, and they do all kinds of dirty things in order to get more oil and water, and there are many types of business in the hands of the high-level leaders of Zhongyitang, and they have been disgusted a lot before.
But they can't do anything about the greedy officials in the surrounding prefectures and counties, they can't kill people for some silver, they are all rich now, and they don't have this habit of licking blood with knives.
The reason why they encountered such a depressed situation is that they are civilians and officials, and they are really unkind to collect it.
It's good at the moment, they all have a layer of official skin, and they don't need to be careful when dealing with the surrounding prefecture and county officials in the future, even if the other party doesn't look down on the official bodies they bought, they won't do too much.
The high-level officials of the hall are well aware of these situations, and they are all in high spirits, and they are ready to let go of their hands and feet when they are ready to do a big job.
After saying the news, the high-level officials of the hall left one after another, and they all had a mess of business and affairs to be busy, but they didn't have time to continue to waste their energy in the hall.
"Ah Hu, how are you doing?"
Qin Bao shouted to Lei Hu, and the two went to the courtyard behind the hall together, and asked the younger brother to fry a few side dishes and send them to them, laughing and talking while eating and drinking.
Lei Hu has been running at both ends of Bao Zhilin and the dock recently, and he hasn't come to Tangkou much, and he hasn't seen Qin Bao for a while.
Of course, the relationship between the two will naturally not be unfamiliar because of this, as the stall of Zhongyi Hall is getting bigger and bigger, everyone has something to do, and it is impossible to imagine getting together all day long like when they first came to Chancheng.
For such a situation, Qin Bao didn't know whether to say good or bad.
Now, the high-level and even the elite people in the hall have their own industries, and they are not so concerned about the affairs of the hall, even Qin Bao himself, but the hall of Zhongyi Hall must not be dispersed, otherwise no one can say what will happen.
And the situation outside has also begun to become unstable, my Daqing and Dongying are about to fight, and there are also new gangs rising within Chancheng, one by one, which makes him feel very bored......
