He Dingxian saw Mr. Chen pick up a piece of wife cake, slowly bite it with his front teeth, smiled, picked up a candy in a plastic plate, untied the plastic paper, and fed the candy into his mouth.

"Master Chen, the candy is delicious."

The candy in this year is all pure grain sugar, and there is no black technology.

Mr. Chan smiled heartily, put down the biscuits, and said loudly: "Mr. Ho, I heard that you also set up a charity school on Hong Kong Island, and you are a member of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. ”

"You and I talk like friends, you don't have to be a school owner, it feels like the bureaucracy of the old society."

He Dingxian smiled: "Okay, Old Chen." ”

"Is Mr. He here purely for the cause of education, or does he want to return to his hometown to invest?" As the director of the Overseas Chinese Committee, Chen Jimei has the responsibility of connecting overseas Chinese businessmen, and his speech is very direct: "If you have investment plans, what department support is needed?" ”

"I can come in and coordinate."

He Dingxian took a sip of tea, and with the sweetness in his mouth, it was refreshing.

"Mr. Chen, I have no plans to return to the mainland to invest for the time being, in fact, my business on Hong Kong Island is not small, and I need money everywhere, and the current market is still mainly overseas." The Hong Kong Island market is rising rapidly, and the return rate of funds on Hong Kong Island is higher.

Moreover, the mainland has not been suitable for business recently, at least in the mid-seventies.

Unless it's a political investment.

But that kind of investment is not big, it belongs to a good relationship, you can find anyone, there is no need to find Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "I understand." ”

"Now the overseas market is indeed booming, the economic environment in the mainland is poor, and the war has just ended. All kinds of industries are waiting to be prospered. ”

"Mr. He's father-in-law is Mr. Chu Weinan?"

He Dingxian nodded: "Yes, business matters all depend on the father-in-law." ”

Mr. Chen nodded: "Mr. Chu has returned to his hometown a lot, and it is right for young people to choose a big market when they are motivated." To be aside, my business in Nanyang has also been taken care of by my son-in-law. ”

Fujian Province is patriarchal and Guangdong Province is on a par with Guangdong Province, and in the absence of a son, the son-in-law is the first heir. However, Mr. Chen's son-in-law, "Lee Kong Chien", was indeed a capable man, and was only an employee of Mr. Chen's company at first.

It can be said that he is the "Shark Guts Zheng" PLUS version!

"Mr. Chen, I actually have some business in Nanyang." He Dingxian put down the teacup and went straight to the point: "The main thing is to do water business and cooperate with the Chinese Labor Front. ”

As soon as Mr. Chen heard it, he knew that it was a gray industry such as smuggling, but he didn't have any resistance in his heart, let alone be surprised, but said: "So, Mr. He has some trouble in Nanyang, and you want me to solve it?" ”

He Dingxian chuckled: "It's not my trouble, it's the Chinese Labor Front, which organized a march some time ago, had an impulse with the authorities, and hundreds of people were arrested, hoping that Mr. Chen would help mediate and bail people out." ”

"Hahaha." Mr. Chen's only two teeth fell out with a smile, put down his wife's cake, and said with a sip of tea: "The people of the Labor Front dare not come to me, so I asked you to contact me with a Chinese businessman on Hong Kong Island?" ”

He Dingxian smiled bitterly: "I'm just helping to contact it, I can't hide it, there are people from me among the arrested brothers, but if Mr. Chen is inconvenient, I'll find another way." ”

"I knew that Mr. Ho had a public position on Hong Kong Island and had a lot of influence, but I didn't know that even Nanyang had a business." Mr. Chen said: "I can make this phone call and let the authorities release the person." But why didn't the Chinese Labor Front dare to come to me, do you know? ”

He Dingxian's face was straight, and he said loudly: "I want to hear the details." ”

The more thoroughly we understand all parties in Nanyang, the better we will be in Nanyang.

"Because the Chinese Labor Front is tough internally and weak externally, it is not a big deal." Mr. Chen lamented: "Most of those people in the labor front were compradors from foreign banks, and in their early years, they were helpers who oppressed the Chinese for foreign companies. ”

"Later, because of the continuous riots of the local aborigines in Nanyang, the compradors smelled the opportunity to form a Chinese labor front, and used the Chinese to bargain with the ghosts for personal gain."

He Dingxian frowned, he didn't expect that the power that won independence in the future would be the same dirty behind it. It seems that the truly aspiring and idealistic overseas Chinese in Nanyang have either returned to China at the end of the war or have died on the battlefield of the uprising.

For example, Mr. Chen's son-in-law, since he has stayed in Nanyang, chooses to be a Nanyang person.

"Regardless of whether it is for personal gain or not, anyone who strives for a point for the Chinese is a point, and there are very few people in the world who are selfless." He Dingxian added tea to Mr. Chen and laughed at himself: "Old Chen, I am actually a person who loves to make personal gains. ”

"That's right." Mr. Chen took a sip of tea, but said calmly: "As long as you follow the right path, it is a good thing to be ambitious, so I will also call the Nanyang authorities." At least in the fight for the right of Chinese to participate in politics, the Labor Front has not taken the wrong path. ”

Mr. Chen did not mention the matter between the Labor Front and him again, but presumably in the process of serving the country, there was a conflict of ideas. After all, we can't expect all overseas Chinese in Nanyang to be willing to give, and the money raised in the early days has indeed been wasted again and again.

In some years, some people even take the fat sheep of overseas Chinese in Nanyang to pick wool every three or five days.

What Ho Ting-yin didn't know was that after the Chinese Labour Front formed a coalition government with the "Umno" and the MCA trade unions, the Labour Front changed its hardline attitude and implemented a policy of appeasement towards the British.

It was in this way that the Labor Front provoked strong opposition from the Chinese, leading to the eventual loss of rights. Let the hawkish figure at that time, Boss Lee, successfully ascend to the throne and take over the power of Singapore in one fell swoop. Boss Lee's DAP even wants to continue to win the whole of Malaysia. Frightened, Malaysia drove Singapore out of the Federation of Malaysia and established itself independently.

In fact, the reason why Singapore was able to gain sovereignty was because it was working with the four regions of Malaysia, Brunei and Sarawak. Later, the five regions also formed a federal state, but at that time, Malaysia found that the Chinese in Singapore had put up a position to swallow the whole of Malaysia, and had to divide Singapore in order to protect themselves.

Boss Li really has a hand in doing things.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice." Ho Ting-yin had a two-hour in-depth conversation with Mr. Chan, who not only learned about the situation of the Chinese in Nanyang, but also understood the problems that Nanyang will face now and in the future. I have a different idea of Singapore in my heart.

"Maybe it's not just Singapore that the Nanyang Chinese should have."

"If Nanyang Chinese can win a larger territory, then not only will the economy and welfare be better in the future, but the geopolitical space will also be operational. In addition to the port economy, it will not give people a neck everywhere, and it is a big deal to import from the north. ”

He found that patriotism does not have to be limited to going to the hinterland, but to the outside world, and to open up and expand the territory for the nation. Mr. Chen got up and said, "I don't dare to give advice, I'm just a few years older." ”

"The cafeteria should have already opened, Mr. He should take someone to eat together."

He Dingxian said: "Mr. Chen, I have already written a cheque from HSBC for donating 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to Jimei University. ”

Mr. Chen did not pick up the check taken out by He Dingxian, but said in surprise: "Mr. He doesn't plan to run a school in the mainland?" ”

He also thought that Ho Ting-yin had a school on Hong Kong Island and would run his own school in the mainland. You must know that if 500,000 yuan is donated to Jimei University, no one will remember him He Dingxian, if he returns to his hometown and runs a school directly, he can run a good vocational school.

He Dingxian shook his head: "No." ”

"To tell the truth, I run schools to invite names, and when I came back to see you, I asked for something, and I have to ask for a name again, which is a little shameless."

Mr. Chen laughed loudly, asked the secretary to accept the check, and said loudly: "Mr. He, there is nothing wrong with asking for a name, I also asked for a name at the beginning, but I didn't ask for it when the name was enough." ”

If Mr. Ho believes in karma, then fame is a kind of good karma, and it is natural to seek fame for doing good deeds. The donation will be used to build a school building and playground. ”

"I'll give you a name for the school building that has been built."

He Dingxian no longer refused: "Thank you, Mr. Chen." ”

The first "Dingxian Building" in the mainland actually started in Jimei, Xiamen, but even He Dingxian himself was a little surprised. After all, he is not a person who does good deeds for no reason, and he thought that the charity fund's project in the mainland would not be launched until at least the 80s.

He Dingxian took two followers, accompanied by several school workers, to the school cafeteria. He glanced at the students, and instead of eating in the hall pretentiously, he went upstairs with the school leaders to open a small stove.

Acting in the cafeteria hall has no effect except for making the students eat restrainedly. The students will not think that a big boss comes to the canteen to eat is simple, nor will they think that the big boss is superior to the small stove.

People with different identities are treated differently.

The college students here will go out in the future, and they won't eat small stoves when they become leaders? Funny!

That same evening.

He Dingxian returned to Hong Kong Island by boat, and as soon as he stepped off the Kowloon Tong Pier, Jiang Tiansheng held an umbrella and trotted forward to meet him: "Big boss, it's hard all the way." ”

"Little things."

He Dingxian bent down to sit in the car and waved Jiang Tiansheng to get into the car.

Jiang Tiansheng hurriedly put away the umbrella, handed it to his subordinates, bent down to get into the car, and said with a smile: "Nanyang's brother has already called, and the police station asked the club to pay the bail fee, and you can get someone." ”

"So fast?"

He Dingxian was slightly surprised, took out a cigar in his arms, lowered his head and lit the fire.

"Huh" he spat out the white mist, and said briskly: "Mr. Chen is sharp enough, and he does things quickly and well." ”

Jiang Tiansheng flattered: "Ordinary people can't catch Mr. Chen's line, the big boss earns enough face for the brothers in Nanyang, in addition, that batch of goods has entered the high seas and can be delivered to the brothers in less than seven days." ”

"Call again if you have any goods." He Dingxian glanced out the window: "Earn a little more." ”

"Yes."

"Boss." Jiang Tiansheng replied with a bow.
