Chapter 41: National Integrity
And this is a very clear map of the world! In 1865, there were many people who had not stayed abroad, and they only knew the names of these foreign countries, and as for the specific location, the current map is not clearly marked at all, and it is not something that ordinary people can see and understand, which is a state secret for military purposes.
And the shopkeeper of Jishitang is the old man who offended the Black Tiger Gang before and snatched his daughter-in-law after being violently beaten, Li Jing just spent a promise to turn this vengeful old man onto his own boat.
This old man's net worth is not small, although he is still far from the richest man in the local area, but he is also a middle-level capitalist, his pharmacy chain has several, and there are a few small medicinal herb planting bases in the countryside, but these things are some business livelihoods, compared with the gangsters, the old man is asking for no one, and there are not many people who want money, and he wants revenge, except for the next life, that is, he only has to sell his property and hire killers, but unfortunately, the old man can't do this kind of thing.
"Several, the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce is just the beginning, but also need to rely on your strong support, and the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce it represents is not the interests of a certain person, this is our common wealth, I dare to recommend myself as the first president, but also because I have stayed in the ocean, know all the situation outside, understand the market of various countries, and now after coming back, I see that our compatriots in our hometown are juiced and sucked by these foreign devils, in the depth of the water and overheat, as a Chinese man, how can we not shrink, Allowing outsiders to come to the door to bully? ”
Touch~
Speaking of excitement, Li Jing's palm slapped the map spread out on the desktop, and the three bosses who were thinking were startled, and several people couldn't help but nod in unison.
"President Li is so bold and open-minded, but this matter is very important, can you think about it when you go back next time?" Boss Liu, who had a big belly, complimented Li Jing a few words, and still wanted to see the situation when he turned around.
"Lao Liu is right"
The tall black Boss Shen waved his hand to interrupt Boss Wang's words, and sneered, "What do you mean?" Conscience eaten by dogs? Although my old Shen loves money, but also knows what is the national righteousness, this matter is now not just a matter of raising prices, this is related to the foothold of our merchants and the integrity of our Chinese, in the case of knowing that foreigners are cheating us, do we still have to greet with a hot face as before? ”
Boss Shen took a deep breath and said loudly: "Starvation is small, loss of discipline is big, I, Shen Jiawei, will be the first to make a choice today, support Huangpu Commercial Bank, and support the self-improvement of the people!" ”
After speaking, Shen Guowei took out a fountain pen from his arms, and filled in his name on the membership form of the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce with a few strokes.
If you don't sign it, doesn't it mean that you are not patriotic, self-reliant, and a traitor?
"This, this"
"Old Shen, you"
Neither of them knew what to say at this time, Shen Guowei was too fast, he didn't have time to stop it, he had already signed his name, this thing was done, it was not to leave, it was not to stay, it was an outsider to stay or not, and it was a traitor to leave and not to sign.
What should I do? Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and suddenly he was not a person inside and out? The question is, we seem to be here for dinner, right? If you don't eat for the old age, we're almost forgetting about it.
"Both, don't make a choice because of the interference of external factors, this is inconsistent with the morality of our Chamber of Commerce." After a pause, Li Jing turned his head and continued: "But Brother Shen, your spirit is really admirable, for such a long time, Brother Shen, you are the first person who can understand the true meaning of the establishment of the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce in such a short period of time, little brother, I am really grateful!" ”
As he spoke, Li Jing snorted, bent down and bowed deeply to Shen Guowei, and Shen Guowei hurriedly stretched out his hand across the table.
"Brother Li, please hurry up, you can call me an old brother, then Lao Shen, I will recognize you as a younger brother today, we are all Chinese compatriots, this brotherhood that blood is thicker than water is here, Lao Shen, I have done this little thing compared to my brother, it is simply not worth mentioning, and I dare not accept such a big gift from my brother."
Li Jing got up, waved his hand, and said: "Brother Yan zhòng, little brother is also doing his best to do a little bit of meager strength, the significance of the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce is to be able to let the people of the country get together, so as not to look at the face of foreign enemies, to implement the real self-improvement rise, but a person's strength is limited after all, we can no longer take care of each other like before, like a plate of loose sand, everyone understands the truth of gathering sand into a castle and gathering stones into a mountain, so we must make changes!" And, just start today! Start now! ”
Impassioned, blood boiling, Li Jing and Shen Guowei's faces turned a little red with excitement, it should be said that there was almost no applause here, Liu Wang and the others looked at the two in front of them with some dumbfounded, it was just a meal, how could it evolve into the current situation? It makes me feel like I'm an uninvited outsider.
Bang Bang Bang ~~~
There was a round of applause outside the door, and someone pushed the door and entered the room, a young man in his twenties, wearing a light-colored robe and a green jade pendant hanging from his waist.
"A few don't blame, the next surname is Yang, and he is the young owner of this restaurant, and the younger brother was just passing by just now, and he was attracted by this brother's words, so he was offended and listened to a few more words."
The young man surnamed Yang bowed slightly and apologized, Li Jing smiled slightly, "This brother doesn't need to be like this, what we said is not a state secret, if the brother is interested, you might as well sit down and drink two glasses for a while." ”
The young man waved his hand and said, "Although the younger brother has not stayed in school, he has also drunk ink for a few years, and the Huangpu Chamber of Commerce you are talking about I don't know if I can also be counted as an idler." ”
The directness of the young man made several people present stunned, it seems that this young man has overheard a lot, maybe he has heard it from the beginning to the end!
"Little brother, count me Shen as a mouthful, I don't know if you can make decisions on behalf of your father? You know, we're all merchants, traders."
The young man surnamed Yang shook his head and interrupted Shen Guowei's words, "Everyone, I don't represent anyone, just myself, I, Yang Ming, am single and don't have any property under my name, but I still want to do something meaningful, I don't know if your Chamber of Commerce can use me as an idler." ”
"Huh." Li Jing smiled and said, "Brother Yang can afford our newly established Huangpu Chamber of Commerce, how can we keep talents out of the door, welcome!" ”
