Mr. Jimei, whose real name is Jia Geng, was born in Jimeishe, Xiamen, and crossed to Nanyang at the age of 17 to run a rice grain store left by his father, and later opened a canning factory, founded a pineapple orchard, and joined the cooked rice business (that is, japonica rice with the husk removed. ）

In the early years, rice grain stores were all with grain rice, which was different from the japonica rice that is currently bought in shops, and later cooked rice became the mainstream.

At the age of 36, he had already made a name for himself in Nanyang, and was recommended to serve as the Associate Director of the Singapore Chinese Entrepreneurs Association and the Prime Minister of Tao Nan Academy. In the same year, he joined the Tongmeng Association and raised 50,000 yuan from Fujian overseas Chinese to build a school building.

Since the beginning of this year, Mr. Chen has formed an indissoluble bond with the revitalization of education and has been contributing to the education of Chinese people all his life. It has successively established Jimei School, Jimei Normal School, Xiamen University, Nanyang Overseas Chinese Middle School, and Jimei Shipping School.

His name is not taken from his hometown, but his hometown is proud of him, and the overseas Chinese are honorific titles for him!

In this life, the most brilliant thing about Mr. Chen is not in education and industrial achievements, but always standing on the right side, not being affected by political interests.

In the beginning, he supported the Father of the Nation, and later he supported the North, all of which helped him in the most difficult times before the situation changed. If you say that in a bet, it can be said that you are in Bo, but you gamble every time and don't eat dividends, why?

It can only be said that the brilliance of the ideal is shining.

During the war, Mr. Chen also supported the Fujian Provincial Finance, donated more than 500,000 oceans, and raised more than one million yuan for patriotic organizations from all sides.

In the summer of 1923, the warlords of Fujian and Fujian provinces confronted each other on the islands of Jimei and Gaoqi, shooting each other, causing Li Wenhua, a student of Jimei School, to be shot and killed on the way to the boat.

Warlords from all walks of life in the north and south agreed to conclude the Jimei Peace Village Convention, specifically approving the "recognition of Jimei as China's permanent peace village", from which the name "Jimei Village" came from.

The schools of Jimei Society were also unified and merged into one university.

During the war, well-known uprisings and local famines can be found in the news that Mr. Chen organized fundraising and called on overseas Chinese in Nanyang to raise donations.

The first generation of overseas Chinese in Nanyang made great contributions to the country!

This is also the reason why the country has always welcomed overseas Chinese, and even the first batch of people who returned to China to invest are overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and Mr. Chen is so noble that when people mention Huaqiao, they think of people from Fujian Province, not overseas Chinese only from Fujian Province, but Mr. Chen from Fujian Province.

He Dingxian knew that Mr. Chen was not only a businessman, a patriotic overseas Chinese, but also a social activist with great influence.

In the Nanyang period, he was a member of Tongmeng, the first generation of community bosses, and through continuous Xinghua charity, he had a "godfather-like" influence among overseas Chinese in Nanyang. If Mr. Chan could call the Governor of Nanyang, the Governor of Nanyang would indeed have to seriously consider releasing him.

Because, Mr. Chen has now returned to his hometown to retire, the real fallen leaves return to his roots, enjoy life, and is a person standing on the city gate tower to watch the ceremony, and the titles on his body are all national brands. He had to tremble three times when he said a word.

When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won, someone gave him a banner with eight characters on it: "Overseas Chinese Flag, National Glory".

Ho Ting Yin is not a noble person, but it must be believed that Mr. Chen is a noble person. Why do local politicians in Nanyang contradict Mr. Chan? Where is Mr. Chen, and where is Xiao Qisan?

It is clear that the vision is different.

"If I want to contact Mr. Chen, I can only use Boss Huo to match." He Dingxian weighed it in his heart and said loudly: "Since it's just a matter of breath, I have no reason to refuse, and it's none of my business whether it succeeds or not." ”

"As for the demonstrations, do!"

Ho Ting-yin took into account the current situation and supported the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, which was actually the voice of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island. Although it seems to be a two-front battle, in the case that the police commissioner has not completely done it, it is in vain to attract firepower for the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

However, the political structure should be large, Hong Kong Island and Nanyang are both British colonies, and the Chinese themselves are one. The more fierce the Nanyang trouble, the more jealous the Hong Kong government becomes, and the louder the Hong Kong Island shouts, the more the Nanyang Governor has to consider.

Solidarity with overseas Chinese in Nanyang is actually to help himself, compared to Nanyang fighting, killing, blood splashing on the streets, Hong Kong Island to do some cheering and shouting work, he is not addicted!

"You ask the chairman of labor in Nanyang to wait for news, and the Chinese on Hong Kong Island will raise the flag in solidarity with Nanyang at the right time." If it weren't for the political environment, Ho Ting-yin would have wanted to replicate the activities of the South Seas on Hong Kong Island, but unfortunately the geography of Hong Kong Island is very different from that of the South Seas, and at most he will follow the same route as Haojiang.

"Okay."

Jiang Tiansheng was surprised and nodded excitedly.

He expected that the big boss would promise to contact Mr. Chen, but he would refuse to support Nanyang, but he didn't expect that the big boss would agree.

In this way, the status of the overseas branch of Yiqun in Nanyang will be greatly enhanced, and Yiqun will not only participate in the fire and flour business of the labor front, but also get the opportunity to run horse stalls, gambling stalls, and smuggle cigarettes.

Although these businesses do not make money from flour, they are better than being able to open stalls and expand their troops.

He Dingxian finished drinking the frozen lemon tea, and was about to get up and leave, and asked casually, "Is there anything else?" ”

Jiang Tianchang sighed: "Yiqun has an arms warehouse in Nanyang that has been investigated, and Tianyang wants the big boss to transfer another batch of goods, hoping to increase a batch of heavy firepower." ”

He Dingxian frowned and said: "The loss of a batch of arms is a small amount of money, but the heavy firepower is heavy. ”

He patted the gun pouch on his waist and wondered: "I'm a person who wears a revolver, where can I get you an airplane cannon, it's really stupid." ”

Jiang Tiansheng showed a strong smile, and hurriedly said: "I didn't dare to ask for aircraft cannons, I can get some heavy machine guns, military grenades are good, it is better to have body armor." ”

He Dingxian glared at him: "I hope to give you aircraft cannons, so what kind of club activities and demonstrations are there?" It's a lot better to hide in the countryside and train the armed team, and directly drive the ghost guys down, by the way, come to Hong Kong Island to help me fight the ghost guys, and I don't have to be a policeman. ”

"Change careers to become the Governor of Hong Kong."

Jiang Tiansheng scolded a bloody head, picked up the hat on the corner of the table, and grinned: "I'm sorry boss, I'll send you out." ”

"Gone."

He Dingxian walked out of the tea restaurant and stood at the door, waiting for a while before a car came.

Night.

Huo Guantai was playing poker at home when he received a call and asked, "Do you?" ”

"Brother Tai."

"Please help me contact Mr. Chen Jimei." He Dingxian sat on the sofa at home, crossed Erlang's legs, and flicked cigarette ash.

Huo Guantai beckoned, asked the brothers to put down their cards, and asked in a condensed voice, "What are you looking for Mr. Chen?" ”

"Wow, overseas Chinese on Hong Kong Island are not overseas Chinese!" He Dingxian was shocked: "I'm an overseas Chinese businessman, can't I chat with Mr. Chen?" Mr. Chen is the director of the Overseas Chinese Committee, so he wants to give me some thin noodles, right? ”

"Tsk."

Huo Guantai laughed directly, touched the cigarette next to him, lit it and said, "Which green onion are you He Dingxian?" Forget about pretending to be an elephant with me, and pretending to be an elephant with Mr. Chen! ”

"Have your ancestors been out of the country for thirty years? Just TM came out to fill the overseas Chinese, which really gives you face. ”

He Dingxian shrugged his shoulders and said scoundrelly: "Help me make an appointment." ”

Huo Guantai sighed: "What are you looking for Mr. Chen, now Mr. Chen lives in the school building in Jimei, grows vegetables and raises chickens every day, and will not attend except for necessary occasions and inspections of the school." ”

"Look for him to donate money!"

"Gotta not!"

He Dingxian shouted loudly.

Huo Guantai smiled: "Brother Xian, how much do you plan to donate?" ”

"Five hundred thousand."

He Dingxian reported a small number, but Huo Guantai nodded: "Yes, I will help you contact Mr. Chen, remember that you also have a school on Hong Kong Island, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Ho Ting-yin said: "Kowloon Tong, a secondary school in Oxford Road. ”

Huo Guantai chuckled: "Then it's simple." ”

500,000 Hong Kong dollars, for the big bosses of the Hong Kong Island business community, is a figure that can be easily taken out. But the Hong Kong dollar is currently pegged to the British pound, which is considered foreign exchange, and its purchasing power in China is amazing, which is more than enough to support the construction of a university.

It's easy to let Mr. Chen meet him and chat for a few days.

Willing to spend money to do things, it is indeed convenient.

Next.

Afternoon.

The Peninsula Hotel.

He Dingxian began to rush for the purchase of heavy arms, and the requests put forward by the Nanyang compatriots were met as much as possible

It doesn't matter if it can be done or not.

You have to ask.

You can't get the aircraft cannons, and it's not too much to get a few machine guns, right? The firepower brought in will be hit, and at the critical moment, it can save the lives of compatriots, and it will not be wasted at all.

After listening to his appeal, Shi Ping, the arms dealer, fell into a deep groan, and asked out loud: "He sir, how many goods do you want?" ”

"At least 50 light and heavy machine guns combined, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, more than a dozen boxes of grenades and the like, and as many body armor as you can." He Dingxian sat opposite, holding a cup of coffee, and chuckled: "After all, I don't have a single body armor." ”

Shi Ping was full of vigilance, looked at him, and reiterated: "He sir, according to the rules, these guys can't appear on Hong Kong Island!" ”

"I understand."

He Dingxian nodded and spread his hands: "I am also a partner of Mai Sir, at least I have the same interests as him in this matter, how can I violate Mai Sir's rules?" Unless you don't want to make money in the future. ”

Shi Ping bowed his head slightly, at first he thought why Sir wanted to form an illegal armed force, but now it seems that Sir He is not crazy.

"Don't worry, I won't rebel with your weapons." He Dingxian chuckled, and said in a strange manner: "I really plan to rebel, do you still lack people to send weapons?" ”

"Huh." Shi Ping found that he was not embarrassed to see through his careful thoughts, and he smiled warmly and explained: "Rifles and pistols can be shipped by the police force, but when it comes to heavy firepower weapons and grenades, the police warehouse does not have them. ”

"Body armor is there, but it's not on sale."

He Dingxian sighed lightly, stood up and said, "Forget it." ”

"You don't have the ability to make this money, you know, a body armor in Nanyang is fried for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and there is a lot of money. The market estimates that it will only be one or two years, and if I don't make money, I find other suppliers, and small vendors do business like this, and I can't make a lot of money in my life. ”
