If it were not for the joint-stock company system of later generations as a reference, it would have been very troublesome to reconcile the differences of such a large group of shareholders. After the rights and interests of shareholders are clearly defined in the management system, many seemingly complex disputes have a basis for determining whether they are feasible or not. The details of the company system formulated by Schneider are beyond the reach of the Ming businessmen of this era, and they find that all the situations they can conceive can seem to find relevant regulations and solutions in this system. Even a few merchants who had a sense of superiority at the beginning, after realizing that the management level of Haihan people was much higher than their own, they also began to have more expectations for the development prospects of "Qiong Lianfa".

For the Ming businessmen of this era, there are only two reference standards for judging the level of operation of peers, one is profitability, and the other is management means. No one can question the profitability of the crossing group, and even the largest businesses in Guangdong dare not say that they can do better than Haihanren. As for the management methods of the Haihan people, they may not have been too well-known before, but after seeing the company system of "Qiong Lianfa", everyone also realized the gap between themselves and the Haihan people in terms of management level, and they were able to achieve such a large scale of business within a year, and it was not just by selling a few rare things.

It was only after the commercial capabilities were recognized by the partners that the preparatory work of "Qionglianfa" was successfully completed. The initialling of the cooperation agreement is only a symbol of the end of this work, and there are still many matters that need to be handled by the preparatory committee of "Qiong Lianfa" one by one. The top priority is to determine the opening process of "Qiong Lianfa".

Based on the opinions of shareholders, the establishment of such a big news as "Qiong Lianfa" naturally has to be publicized and hyped in Guangzhou, and strive to become an instant hit. However, Schneider wanted to hold the inauguration ceremony in Shengli Port, because the executive committee also asked him to find an excuse to arrange for the main partners of the Crossing Group in the mainland to conduct an inspection in Shengli Port during the anniversary.

Of course, the inspection is just an excuse, and the main purpose of the Executive Committee is to take the opportunity of the anniversary celebration to show their muscles to future partners up close, so that they can have more confidence in the group.

According to the plan of the Executive Committee, there will be a series of celebrations at the end of March and the beginning of April, including large-scale scenes such as military parades on land and sea and live-fire exercises. In addition to these business partners in Guangzhou, the Executive Committee also intends to invite some official representatives of Yazhou to attend, and even the North Vietnamese side has contacted Guò Radio to ask Qian Tiandun to send an invitation to Zheng to visit Wèn on behalf of the Executive Committee. Although the Thang Long province has not replied for the time being, judging from the recent close cooperation between the two sides, the Zheng family should not refuse this friendly invitation, and no matter how bad it is, it will send a delegation to visit Shengli Harbor, and by the way, talk about the details of this year's arms sales plan to Vietnam.

The more guests can be invited to the scene, and the higher the level, the better the publicity effect of this anniversary celebration. It is not difficult to imagine how Yazhou officials, who have been defeated by the money offensive, will feel when they see the huge investment team from the mainland, and the shareholders of "Qiong Lianfa" will be more convinced of the influence of "Qiong Lianfa" in the local area if they can see Yazhou officials attending the activities of the crossing group. As for the delegates from North Vietnam, it is believed that they will realize that the Crossing Group not only has a huge advantage in the military field, but also has a great strength in politics and business.

It is precisely because of this planning that the invitation to guests from all walks of life has become a task with political purposes. To this end, the Executive Committee has informed the Ministry of Maritime Transport to vacate the schedule of the two catamarans in advance, so that they can pick up the guests at the mouth of the Pearl River when needed.

On 15 March, a sailing ship under the name of the Ministry of Shipping arrived at the Pearl River Wharf, and Marik and Cai Jinmei, who had been sent by the Executive Committee to take over Schneider's work, came on the same ship and began an intense handover with Schneider. On 20 March, Tao Donglai completed his half-month inspection of the Guangzhou Office and returned to Shengli Port with Schneider by boat.

In addition to a large number of gift projects prepared by various units, what is more important is the adjustment of the departmental structure and staffing to be carried out for this anniversary.

According to the decision of the first plenary meeting before the crossing, the term of office of the interim executive committee directly formed by the crossover action organizing committee is only one year, and the first reorganization of the executive committee after the crossing will be carried out, and at the same time, some institutions and units that need to be adjusted will be reorganized. For example, the military police superintendents, who are now holding on to their eyebrows and mustaches, will split the police departments and merge them into the soon-to-be-established Ministry of Justice, and the military will also be split into two independent departments, the army and the navy, and at the same time, the government department, the equipment department, the logistics department, and other supporting departments will be set up to further improve the management structure of the military forces.

For the nine existing members of the Executive Committee, it is uncertain whether they will be able to remain in office. All members will elect the new nine members of the executive committee by secret ballot, except for Tao Donglai, who won the honor of a lifetime member of the executive committee for his outstanding contributions long before the crossing, the other executive committee members actually have the possibility of losing in this election.

In addition to the administrative duties of the Executive Committee, the members of the Executive Committee basically serve as the leaders in charge of various industries. A multi-skilled talent like Tao Donglai even holds heavy responsibilities in many departments such as military and police, construction, commerce, and civil affairs. For the executive committee members, in fact, they still have a certain innate advantage in this election, after all, there are many opportunities to come out and it is easy to get acquainted.

As for the election of the executive committee, according to the original regulations, it is voluntary to run for election, and as long as you are nominated by five people, you can be eligible to run. The registration period starts in early March and the deadline is March 25. The voting period begins on 25 March and ends on 1 April, when the votes are counted and the names of those elected are announced on 2 April.

In order to avoid the re-election of individual incumbent members with a large number of votes, and the number of votes of the later elected members is too small, the scene is not good-looking, and the ballot papers in the hands of each crossing public can fill in three candidates in order, and only one vote will be counted if there is a duplication on the face of the ballot. Due to the distance, the Heitu Port and the Guangzhou Office in the field chose to vote 10 days in advance, with the deadline of 20 March, and then sent the sealed ballots back to Shengli Port by ship.

For this kind of election activity, the enthusiasm of the public is still relatively high, and the vast majority of people have already filled out their ballots before the voting period begins, waiting for the executive committee to put out the public ballot box. However, due to the constraints of objective conditions, everyone is busy preparing for various activities for the anniversary, and the new candidates and the current executive committee members should not expect any public canvassing activities, at most they can only take time to connect them in private. This election process is more about competing with the connections and prestige accumulated in the past year.

Up to now, there are three dark horses that are far ahead among the newcomers who have signed up for the election, namely Ren Liang, Yue Zhiyun and Zhou Hengxing. All three of them belong to the representatives of the Young Zhuang faction who have been reused by the Executive Committee after the crossing, and they all have a considerable number of potential supporters behind them.

Soon after Ren Liang crossed, he began to emerge in the management of labor camps, and then became famous for proposing the "Labor Management System", and then completed a rare cross-industry transfer within the group, and was transferred from the Military Police Department to the Shengli Port Management Committee of the Executive Committee's vertical management unit as the director. At present, the development of Shengli Port is impressive, the new passenger and cargo integrated terminal has been basically completed, and the construction of the business district is also very smooth. For his work ability, the executive committee is also very recognized, according to some unknown gossip, Ren Liang is very likely to be transferred again in this institutional adjustment As far as his current worksheet is concerned, the transfer at this time should not be a flat transfer, but ready to be promoted again.

The source of votes behind Ren Liang to support him mainly comes from the military and police department where he once worked, the Hong Kong District Management Committee where he now works, and some loose votes from personal relationships. According to the estimation of some good people on the forum, Ren Liang's vote base is conservatively estimated to have more than 100 votes, and there is still a certain possibility of being elected.

www.biquge.info As a rare shipping professional in the group, Yue Zhiyun and his partner Sun Changmi have been reused by the executive committee from the beginning of their participation in the program. The institutional configuration of the entire Ministry of Shipping is basically built around him and Sun Changmi, and now all matters related to shipping are under the rule of the Ministry of Shipping, and even the soon-to-be-established Navy has a considerable part of its resources to rely on the support of the Ministry of Shipping.

Sun Changmi, who majored in navigation technology, focused on shipbuilding and seafarer training, while Yue Zhiyun, who was born in ship electrical engineering, was more inclined to administrative management and pursued more in politics, so Yue Zhiyun was elected as a candidate for the shipping department to participate in this election.

From the perspective of responsibility and authority, the important process of the leadership position of the shipping department is no less than that of any other department, and can even be regarded as one of the lifeblood of the entire crossing group. But Yue Zhiyun also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, he has too few positions in the year after the crossing, just a director of the shipping department, which is not enough to reflect his personal work ability and political attitude. The ticket source behind him is basically the Ministry of Maritime Transport as the main body, and there are not a few friendly tickets from the military police department of friendly units and the foreign trade and commerce department, and the ticket source is relatively stable.

Zhou Hengxing is also one of the young talents that the Executive Committee has always valued, and soon after the crossing, he was appointed as the head of Li Miao affairs of the civil affairs department because of his work experience and excellent performance, which laid a good foundation for the crossing group to formulate ethnic policies and control the Li Miao villages near Shengli Port. At the time of the development of Heitu Port, Zhou Hengxing was appointed as the local civil affairs chief, and now Gu Kai's term of office has expired, and he has recently returned to Shengli Port to start the preparatory work of the Ministry of Justice.

Qian Tiandun, who is in charge of the military, will definitely not be able to take this position, his attention is all on the army, and becoming a generation of famous generals is his life goal, not to mention that the military police department will definitely not let him, a capable general, go down the road to politics. Although Xie Chun, who is in charge of maritime affairs, is not bad, his personality is rather frizzy and unbreathable, and it is difficult to be further reused by the executive committee, at least at this stage. As for Tian Yeyou, who is in charge of mining development, he is not interested in politics at all, and he has no idea of pursuing a career at all. Whether it is these people or Gu Kai, the former director of Heitu Port, the successor recommended by the public is Zhou Hengxing, which is basically a sure thing, just waiting for the process of the appointment letter under the executive committee.

In North Vietnam's Black Soil Port, including the Tu Son stronghold, Zhou Hengxing's name will basically appear on the ballots of these expatriates. And because Zhou Hengxing provided a lot of support for Qian Tiandun's military training plan in Heitu Port, and has always been on the side of the military, Qian Tiandun has also made it clear that he wants to support Zhou Hengxing's election, after all, if Zhou Hengxing can squeeze into the executive committee, it is almost equivalent to the military having another supporter in the executive committee. Considering this reason, the support that Zhou Hengxing can get from the military police department will not be much smaller than that of the other two candidates.

Judging from the situation of these three candidates, they are all young and strong and independent cadres, and they are all likely to be supported by the military and police department. The Military Police Department, as the largest group in the crossing group, must be the first in line on the ballot to protect Yan Chujie's position, and the remaining two in line are very likely to be produced among these three. After all, these three people have a close relationship with the Military Police Department, and Ren Liang still has half of the personnel ownership in the Military Police Department, no matter who is in charge among them, their attitude towards the Military Police Department will definitely be better than that of other civilian executive committee members.

At the beginning, in order to prevent military personnel from interfering in politics or even the emergence of a military government, there was a special provision in the charter of the Executive Committee, that is, the number of regular military personnel serving in the Executive Committee at the same time should not exceed two people, so as to avoid the decision-making and voting of the Executive Committee under certain special circumstances being influenced by military forces, and the minimum number of votes in the Executive Committee was five, so that civilian officials could at least have a decision-making advantage on the face of the ticket.

Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie occupied these two pits, so in this election, the military did not launch its own candidates, the only one who has a deep relationship with the Military Police Department Ren Liang, Yan Chujie also made a statement in advance: Ren Liang's current position is not under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Department, so he cannot be regarded as a military personnel candidate.

Of course, Yan Chujie's statement is not to draw a clear line with Ren Liang, but to clear the policy obstacles for his candidacy. In this way, if Ren Liang is elected, he will be a non-military person who stands on the military's position.

Compared with Ren Liang and Zhou Hengxing, who have clearly expressed their support for the military, Yue Zhiyun's disadvantage is greater, although he can also get some of the military's friendship votes because of the preparations of the Admiralty, but he definitely can't compare with the two who have already stood in line. Whether the final vote can prevail over the other incumbent executive committee members depends on the individual's creation.

Because Tao Donglai has the special treatment of a lifelong executive committee, he will not need to participate in this election, and the eight temporary executive committee members plus three newcomers are basically the pattern of 11 candidates competing for eight executive committee seats, and the eight people with the most votes will be elected in the end. According to the previous Executive Committee charter, the elected person will be given a four-year term, which will be more in office than the interim chairman of the Executive Committee elected for the first time.

The main source of votes for the current eight executive committee members is basically from the department where they work. For example, the votes of the Ministry of Industry are basically based on Bai Kesi, while the votes of the Ministry of Agriculture will belong to the respected old man Yuan, and the vast majority of the votes of the civil affairs, education, logistics and other departments will flow to Ningqi, and the votes of the financial and commercial departments will be aimed at Schneider.

Judging from this trend, the scale of the yamen in charge of some executive committee members is too small, and it is obvious that they will suffer a loss in the distribution of votes. For example, the foreign affairs and legal departments that Gu Kai is in charge of are basically empty shelves, and there are only a dozen people in total with his Yanmar girlfriend. And Meng He of the Ministry of Information Industry is even worse, although the number of people under his command is about the same as Gu Kai, but more than half of them wear many hats, and it is really difficult to say where the votes will go. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Hengxing, who participated in the election this time, was originally subordinate to the Ministry of Information Industry, but was later seconded to the civil affairs department. If Zhou Hengxing's counterattack is successful, it can be regarded as a successful example of a battle.

The succession of Bai Kesi, Ning Qi, Yan Chujie and others, who are good friends with Tao Donglai, is almost certain, not only will they have the support of their own department, but at the same time, because the Ministry of Construction in charge of Tao Donglai does not have its own candidates, there will definitely be a considerable number of friendship votes flowing into the names of these people.

On the day of the start of voting, Tao Donglai and Schneider returned to Shengli Port with the ballots of the Guangzhou Office and participated in the voting session. The ballots for Heitu Port and the Cliff Office had been brought back to Shengli Port by Gu Kai a day earlier. The Executive Committee set up ballot boxes in Shengli Port and Tian Du, and the whole process of voting was visited by local naturalized people. Although the naturalized people do not yet have the right to vote, the Executive Committee believes that it is necessary to start this "democratic enlightenment" sooner rather than later, so that the naturalized people know how the Executive Committee to which they are loyal is organized
