When He Dingxian put down his wine glass and left the Mid-Levels Villa with Luo Wenjin, Jian Leqiang, Xian Defen and others, the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce had already settled.

It's easy to scare a young man, but not an outlaw maniac, when a person uses his seniority and fame to suppress you, you have to stand up and scold him for fucking, and then put a gun to his head and tell him that old bones don't deserve to talk too much.

If you can shake it, you win.

Can't shake it,

Just lose!

This doesn't even depend on hard power, because everyone has strength, and it depends on the political image of walking the rivers and lakes, and the style of acting along the way.

"Ah Xian."

"I'm back."

Next to the mountain road.

Luo Wenjin patted him on the shoulder, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "With the good development of the Chamber of Commerce, the four major families will still support the Chamber of Commerce, and the rest of the matter depends on you young people." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Jin."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

He Dingxian bowed deeply in a proper manner.

Luo Wenjin and Luo Wenhui left by car, and Jian Leqiang and Xian Defen also left the mid-levels by car after saying hello to He Dingxian. He Dingxian glanced back at the Zhou Mansion, knowing that the Zhou Junnian family had lost the authority of the leader.

As long as the remaining three families are willing to support him, Zhou Junnian's family can only go with the flow.

"Back to Wyndham Street."

He Dingxian said out loud, bent down and sat in the car, Lan Gang closed the door, and responded: "Yes, sir." ”

A month later, the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce was formally established, the Ruihe Hall was set as a mound, on the twentieth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the plaque was unveiled, firecrackers were set off, the lion king was green, and the guests were overflowing, not only the four major families came out of the platform in person, but more than 40 chambers of commerce in East Asia, large and small, all sent flower baskets to congratulate.

He Dingxian was elected as the first chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce through open election, and was also a permanent director and president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Fang Suquan serves as vice chairman and permanent director. Huo Guantai is the secretary-general and a non-permanent director.

Li Guanchun, Zheng Yutong, Chen Lanfang, and Feng Jinxi serve as permanent directors, and there are five non-permanent directors left, such as Wang Laoji, Chen Weinan, Wang Zhongming, etc.

Except for impeachment and voluntary resignation, permanent members shall hold office for life, and no vacancies will be held. Non-permanent directors may run for the post of rotating chairman, and the new permanent directors shall be voted by the permanent board of directors to take effect, and there is no limit to the number of times an individual can serve as the rotating chairman, but he cannot serve as the rotating chairman consecutively.

This series of systems limits the power of the chairman of the chamber of commerce, but strengthens the powers of the permanent council, so that the joint chamber of commerce can become a truly people-oriented, harmonious and united body, at least to prevent the chamber from becoming a personal tool of one person.

Shao Yifu, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, also brought people to congratulate him on the same day, and presented a fortune golden toad as a gift.

When He Dingxian saw Shao Yifu, he smiled very happily, and personally led people to come forward to toast, talking and laughing, which can be described as a spring breeze. Shaw Brothers' first Huangmei opera film "Diao Chan" was released, subverting the film style of Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop, and won 200,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office in the first month, which shocked the business community.

At the same time, Wu Aqing led the Dinghai Society to mix well in Nanyang, and was supported by Lin Youfu to strongly intervene in the underground gambling stalls. He Dingxian received the news from Jiang Tianyang, and he had to sigh in his heart Shao Yifu's shrewdness, from the bright side, Lin Youfu is indeed the most potential politician, betting that Lin Youfu can not only develop his power, but also curry favor with Britain, which is beneficial to the business of Singapore and Nanyang.

And after "Diao Chan" won a lot of box office on Hong Kong Island, it was sent to Singapore for release, and made another profit of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars through Singapore's Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.

The Shaw Brothers film empire has begun to take shape, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has also vigorously developed the light industry and textile industry in Hong Kong, and the Fengde has received a favorable bank injection to become a joint venture bank, and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has begun to enter the real estate industry.

In the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, Li Guanchun and Feng Pingshan co-founded Chinese Land, which became the most famous real estate company under "Liu Jianxiong" in later generations, but it actually has a deep history. The founder, Li Guanchun, was the boss of the Bank of East Asia, a businessman in Wuyi, and his family members were all over the political and business circles, while Feng Pingshan was a wealthy businessman in Guangdong before World War II, the boss of the 13th Bank, and a shareholder of the Bank of East Asia.

This is the first time that the Wuyi Gang has entered the real estate industry, followed by the Shunde businessman "Guo Desheng" to establish Hongji Enterprise, in the operation of the "Hongchang" factory, in addition to the OEM zipper for the island, the first time to get involved in real estate projects, operating demolition and small site reconstruction.

More than 30 large and small real estate companies have been established in the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and the two major chambers of commerce are the first to compete in the local property market.

A month later than "Diao Chan", "Jing Zhong Serving the Country", a joint venture between Oriental Pictures and International Denmao, was released, which coincided with the rise of nationalism after the war, and the box office in the first month surpassed "Diao Chan" to 230,000, and it was also released in Nanyang.

Shao Yifu was in a bitter battle.

"Ho sir, Governor Ge will move out of Taiping Shan tomorrow and return to London to serve as secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The change of Governor is the hottest news on Hong Kong Island at the moment, and more than 2 million people in Hong Kong are paying close attention to it, regardless of the industry.

The citizens were apprehensive about the arrival of the new Governor.

Sitting in his office, dressed in uniform and wearing leather boots, Jian Baoning had already learned of the next position of the Governor.

He Dingxian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Sir still has a backer, even if he makes a mess on Hong Kong Island, he can be promoted when he goes back." ”

"Nothing."

Jian Baoning held a cigarette between his fingers, shook his head and said: "If a diplomat is transferred to the governor, the ruling party is promoted, and the governor is transferred back to the main family as long as he does not enter the parliament, or goes to the local office, it is derogatory." It is said that the taxes paid on Hong Kong Island have tripled, and it stands to reason that when he goes back, he can at least enter the House of Representatives as a master, and the whole family can go to the next level. ”

"Now I just go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will retire after two years."

He Dingxian smiled and said, "Why don't you retire?" ”

"it to death!"

Jian Baoning slurped and smiled.

"What about the new Governor?"

He Dingxian cocked Erlang's legs.

"It's not decided yet."

Jian Baoning clearly had a channel to return to his ancestral home to collect the wind, and Shi Gong said firmly: "Due to the rapid changes in the situation between Nanyang and Hong Kong Island, the ancestral family has not decided on a candidate for the time being, and the deputy secretary for administration, David Davide, will first serve as the acting governor, and a new governor will be sent when the ancestral family determines the candidate." ”

He Dingxian nodded: "Your cabinet is very cautious, in fact, it is the same for whoever comes, either collect money or collect corpses, just choose one." ”

Jian Baoning smiled: "People have to adapt to the environment. ”

The next day.

Governor Ge Hongliang moved out of the residence of the Governor of Taiping Shan, and with a group of officials at the door, he gave a speech to the newspaper reporters and went to the Peninsula Hotel under the escort of the motorcade. The Governor will spend one night at the Peninsula Hotel before departing Hong Kong Island by air the next day.

Although Ge Hongliang's administrative goal has always been to serve the British, during his administration, he opened up the border to accommodate immigrants, put forward the slogan of Hong Kong people, and a series of measures not only benefited a large number of Hong Kong defectors, but also significantly developed the economy of Hong Kong Island.

This does make Ge Hongliang gain a certain amount of popular support, from He Dingxian's point of view, Ge sir is a "capable minister", willing to do things, and produce results, but he, the enemy's hero, my enemy's enemy, the position is different, only appreciation, no softness.

Acting Governor "Davide" made a radio speech, announcing his inauguration, and at noon on the same day, a number of underground gambling stalls in Hong Kong have opened the handicap, betting on how long Davide can act as governor, from one day to a year, the closer the odds are higher in January, the longer the odds are higher after March, and the middle odds are the lowest.

The acting positive is even more open to 1,000 odds.

Strictly speaking, the acting governor and the governor are two professions, and the acting governor is only responsible for managing the affairs of Hong Kong Island for a short period of time, and is often replaced by the deputy chief secretary, who is only regarded as a promoted official in Hong Kong.

The Governor, however, was a statesman, with the support of the Colonial Chancellor and the House of Representatives, and the Colonial Foreign Firm, who could manage the transportation of capital.

In addition, the Governor has a long term of office and can implement policies, while the Acting Governor has a short term and is only responsible for bridging policies.

In the end, David served as acting governor for 24 days, and the new governor was "Bai Liji", the former governor of Singapore, who stepped down after Ma Shaohua became chief minister, and was now transferred to Hong Kong Island as the 23rd governor. It is possible to win the struggle against the Chinese and bring the colony back on track.

On the Nanyang side, after Ma Shaohua became the chief minister, Great Britain appointed a new governor, but the new governor has completely lost his dominance, and Bai Liji can be regarded as the last governor of Singapore with real power.

Of course, the last governor was a firefighter whenever and wherever he was.

Letting Bai Liji serve as the governor of Hong Kong Island may be a reward from his ancestral family. However, the Chinese in Nanyang were resentful of the puppet governor of Singapore, and kept putting pressure on Ma Siuhua, hoping that in addition to participating in the government, the Chinese could also get autonomy and get rid of colonial status.

Ma Shaohua, as a hardliner among the Chinese, was in the midst of riots, but political negotiations were flawed, and after many rounds of consultations with the British representatives, there was still no result. In particular, when Ma Shaohua became the chief minister, he turned from the opposition to the government, and the problems he faced could not be resorted to violence. Because, when he stood on the stage, he was already responsible for the economy and the current situation, and his political incompetence caused a lot of disputes for a while, and there were several riots of more than 1,000 people in Singapore, many of which included the Haiding Society.

Ma Shaohua was forced to resign voluntarily, and then Lim Yau Fuk successfully ascended to power with the support of the Chinese Labour Front, as well as Umno and the Malaysian League, becoming the second Chinese chief minister to negotiate with Great Britain.

Tai Kwun.

He Dingxian lowered his head and pinched his watch and asked, "What time does the new governor's plane land?" ”
