A month later, Chu Weinan took the initiative to resign as the president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce unanimously agreed, and the vice president He Dingxian was elected as the new president, and Zheng Yutong, the director of the Chamber of Commerce, was elected as the new vice president, and Chu Weinan was elected as the permanent president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

Equivalent to Honorary Life President.

After all, honorary presidents also have a time limit.

In fact, Chu Weinan still deals with most of the official documents in the Chamber of Commerce, as well as daily official business, and only when it comes to large-scale meetings, the decision-making on the development of the Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to He Dingxian to deal with personally.

The first business of the Chamber of Commerce handled by He Dingxian was about the election of the director of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a director vacancy in the Chamber of Commerce before, and now with Zheng Yu as the vice president, there are two vacancies in the council seats.

Ruihetang.

Attic.

Cafes.

Zheng Yutong is wearing a brown gown, looking much plumper than two years ago, it can be seen that following the rise in international gold prices, Chow Tai Fook Gold Shop has a lot of income, and the position of the chairman is becoming more and more stable, and after the Chamber of Commerce encouraged the development of the real estate industry, he personally established a New World Construction Company, bidding for a plot of land in Lantang, Happy Valley, and is building villas, with many customers subscribing and excellent sales.

He Dingxian was wearing a suit, sitting in the master's seat, slowly brewing tea, and a folder in his hand.

Looking at the scribbled appearance of the document, it is obvious that it has been flipped.

Wang Laoji, Chu Weinan, Ma Yingbiao and others also sat aside.

He Dingxian put a cup of tea with a wooden clip and put it in the hands of the bigwigs without hurrying, and said with a smile after saying everything: "How is it, what do you think of the newcomers who are running for election?" ”

"There are many newcomers who are running, but there are not many people who have the ability and reputation." Ma Yingbiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, now is a window period for the economy of Hong Kong Island, yes, make an appropriate business layout, and the future will reap rich fruits.

Many of the bigwigs started at this time.

But now is also a period of recovery for the business community on Hong Kong Island, most of the bosses started from the pre-World War II business, or made profits in the Second World War, the previous generation of bigwigs are in the prime of life, and the next generation of young people have not yet risen.

He Dingxian is an outlier through small opportunities, step by step, this kind of person can start a family at any time, and most people still have to take advantage of the east wind of the times.

Unless it's the crown prince who inherits the family business.

"Mr. He Tian."

Wang Laoji said: "Mr. He is one of the founders of Hang Seng Yinhao, as the general manager, he joined the Chamber of Commerce six years ago and has been busy with work, and he will definitely support this year's aspiring election for the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"It's time to leave a seat for Mr. He."

Chu Weinan nodded.

Seeing this, He Dingxian had expected this, and said with a smile: "Although Mr. He has no shares in Hang Seng Yinhao, he has a good reputation in the banking industry. ”

He Tian is a native of Panyu, Guangzhou, and He Shanheng, the big boss of Hang Seng as a fellow villager, came to Hong Kong Island to found Hang Seng Money Village together, but because he was only the son of a concubine of a small owner of a miscellaneous grain shop, he had insufficient capital in his hands, and he did not invest money at the beginning of the creation of the silver number, and was the last one of the five founders. At the beginning of its establishment, he was responsible for the internal accounts of the bank, held the position of the chief treasurer, and now is the general manager of the silver number, and the position is still the same, but as the silver number is getting bigger and bigger, the income status is rising.

Most of the Panyu people will join the Guangfu Chamber of Commerce, but there are many Chaoshan people living in Panyu, and Hetian is one of them.

Moreover, in addition to Ningbo, Shandong and other cultural and linguistic chambers of commerce are often mutually exclusive, the chamber of commerce in Guangzhou Province does not refuse other cities and counties to join, with the growth of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, more and more people from Wuyi, Guangfu, Dongguan and Foshan join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

Although there are chambers of commerce in various places, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and everyone likes to add a strong chamber of commerce as a backer.

When He Dingxian was the vice president, he let people give preferential treatment to members from other cities, and often beat the Chaoshan people who loved xenophobia, which led to a lot of improvement in the atmosphere in the chamber of commerce. This may also be the reason why Khatim intends to run for the board of directors and work for the chamber of commerce.

"Okay."

"That's it, what about the position of the remaining director?"

Wang Laoji took a sip of tea and asked out loud.

"I think Mr. Chen Qinian, the owner of Chaofu Restaurant, is good." Zheng Yutong proposed: "Most of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce are factory owners, commercial houses, and trade owners, and appropriately absorb some restaurant owners, and restaurant owners can also strengthen their strength." ”

"After all, as Hong Kong Island develops, the catering industry will definitely develop."

Ma Yingbiao immediately shook his head: "Even if you add up all the restaurants in Hong Kong, the money you make is not as much as that of a trading house, the size of the restaurant is still too small, and it is too affected by the market, there will be more people working in restaurants and restaurants in the future, maybe you can give one or two places, but not now." ”

"It's better to let Mr. Zhang, the boss of Shengde Industries, get on it."

Shengde Industry is a hardware manufacturing factory, occupies a certain share in the hardware industry on Hong Kong Island, although it has not reached the point of leading enterprises, but it is the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce in the hardware industry can be the most able to play the person, joining the Chamber of Commerce for seven or eight years, all aspects are very suitable, but all aspects are not outstanding.

He Dingxian had to sigh that the status of the service industry was low, and even the boss was looked down upon, but there was no way, the chain catering couldn't be started in these years, and no regional giant appeared, and the catering industry was naturally looked down upon.

There are many restaurant owners in the Chamber of Commerce, but their status is very low, and they are often laughed at and scolded for serving dishes.

After He Dingxian sighed, he suddenly asked with a smile: "Why no one mentions Boss Li of Changjiang Industry, it is said that he ran around for the position of a director, but it took a lot of effort, and there were many members below who supported him." ”

Zheng Yutong smiled and said: "Ah Xian, the members below don't know what Changjiang Industry represents, and those of us who hold tickets in our hands don't know anymore, sooner or later they will be sold to ghosts and count the money for him." ”

Ma Yingbiao also said: "The factory of Cheung Kong Industry in Xiaoqiwan was burned down for less than a month, and the whole line was resumed, and it is said that HSBC specially entrusted Li Jiacheng to import the latest production line in Europe, and also approved a loan of 5 million Hong Kong dollars to help Cheung Kong Industry recover. ”

"This kind of treatment is not much worse than that of our own son, we can't kill him, and we have to make him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life, it is impossible to stand out in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Laoji drank herbal tea, noncommittal, he had seen a lot of winds and waves in his life, and he didn't have much interest in people like Li Jiacheng.

Chu Weinan was well aware of his son-in-law's character, and asked with a puzzled face: "Ah Xian, what do you think?" ”

"Put him on the throne." He Dingxian pondered the teacup and groaned with a smile: "He always wants to protect himself by borrowing the skin of the Chamber of Commerce, we can't get rid of him, but we can't let him prostitute for nothing, just let him serve as a director of the Chamber of Commerce, at least what he is doing and how to do it, so that the brothers can see it." ”

"What do you mean" Chu Weinan pondered, "Roast him on the fire?" ”

He Dingxian nodded: "Yes." ”

After Li Jiacheng dared to raise the British flag in the factory, he could no longer have illusions about it. The better a person like Li Jiacheng treats him, the more he will gain an inch, as long as there is something profitable, no matter how much risk he takes, he will dare to do it with a bad conscience.

This man's business style is far less conservative than the boast in his autobiography of later generations, and he prefers to take the chestnut from the fire, but he is good at meeting ghosts. He had read Boss Li's autobiography before, and after contacting Boss Li, he found that the person in the autobiography was more like Boss Li's imagined self, which was very idealistic.

He Dingxian thought about it, and the best way to kill Li Jiacheng reasonably and reasonably was to tear off his disguise layer by layer, so that he would completely lose the protection of the Chinese skin, and let people expose their white hearts, and they would naturally be able to take it.

"That's fine."

Chu Weinan bowed slightly, he also found that Li Jiacheng had some means, in order to avoid raising Li Jiacheng into a big trouble, the best way was to kill him as soon as possible.

"Then it's settled."

Zheng Yutong also agreed.

In the final analysis, it is just a position of a director of the Chamber of Commerce, which is worth a thousand gold for those who have nostalgia, but for most people, it is actually of little value. It is really difficult for Li Jiacheng to make a few splashes in the Chamber of Commerce.

Same.

Night.

Ningbo Guild Hall.

Shao Yifu set up a round table in the middle hall of the hall and invited the vice presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, Dong Haoyun and Li Huili, as well as the honorary presidents Shao Zuiweng, and the directors Shao Chuenren, Wang Chuanlin, Chen Tinghua, and Cao Guangbiao to have supper together. I saw a bowl of shrimp porridge in the middle of the round table, as well as a circle of various Ningbo dishes.

After Shao Yifu returned to Hong Kong Island, after a little improvement, he quickly took over the position of president of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce and let his brother Shao drunken man sit on the cold bench.

Shao drunken Weng even handed over the Shaw Brothers Film Company, what is it to hand over the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce? Although the Ningbo Merchant Gang has always been famous and is one of the more famous overseas Chinese merchant gangs, it is still a little worse than the Chaoshan Merchant Gang, the Fujian Merchant Gang, and the Hakka Merchant Gang. As Shao Yifu, who was dominant in the Shanghai film industry before World War II, it is actually easy to take over the Chamber of Commerce, and no one up and down is unconvinced.

At this time, Shao Yifu stood up and took out a bowl of porridge with a soup spoon, handed it to the participants one by one, and when he sat down after scooping, he tasted it and said with a smile: "There is an old saying in Ningbo called 'Ningbo is cooked, a bowl of porridge', the ancient meaning is that the land in Ningbo is barren, and the cooked season is distributed to each person's head, and it is only enough to drink a bowl of porridge every day." ”

"We Ningbo people have to be forced to go all over the world and break into the world."

"Now, I also pointed out that the people of Ningbo who are outside the door are cooked when they sit together and drink a bowl of porridge. I had been developing in Nanyang before, and after returning to Hong Kong Island, I found that we Ningbo people were about to be beaten by Chaoshan people and couldn't hold our heads up. ”

Dong Haoyun, Li Huili, Wang Chuanlin, Chen Tinghua and other Ningbo businessmen, their faces changed suddenly, and all the people present were the important figures of the Ningbo Gang on Hong Kong Island, especially Dong Sheng, the king of ships, and Li Sheng, the king of clocks and watches.

Is this sentence scolding them for not taking care of their fellow villagers?

"Mr. Shao."

"What do you mean?" Dong Haoyun's seniority and connections are not as good as Shao Laoliu, but the industry is huge, and he is not afraid of the president at all.
