Chapter 163: Who's in Favor? Who is against?
The ones blocking Chen Jie's way of coming and going are naturally Hu Rentian, Cripple, and Mu Dezhu.
This guy, who claimed to be Song Qing, was dragged by the collar by Mu Dezhu and forcibly sent back to Chinatown and handed over to Lu Xiucai, who was hiding in the shadows.
The mourning hall of the old man Li Xiling is constantly lit with candles, the stage outside the door is in full swing, and the family members inside the door are crying to death, even in the middle of the night, relatives and friends who have come from other cities to mourn are still in an endless stream.
During this period, all the directors of the Chinese United Trade Union have also arrived, and according to Mr. Li's will, the general election of the president of the Chinese United Trade Union will be held in advance.
At this time, the five union directors who were sitting in a private room on the third floor of the Hutchison Tea House looked at each other as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
In front of them were Zhou Yu, who was holding the old man's will, and Li Sheng, who represented An Liangtang.
"Uncles and elders, boy Zhou Yu, is the current president of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, thanks to Mr. Li's respect, recommended me to join the Chinese United Trade Union, become an honorable director, in line with all the original intention of benefiting the Chinese compatriots, I sincerely ask you to think twice before voting for this precious vote.
"Liao Baihua, Mai De, Chen Jielai, Xu Xiaoyan, Lei Jiu, they can't be there for their own reasons, there are only five directors left, Mr. Li Sheng, and Bucai are here."
Unlike the few people who were not able to attend the scene as Zhou Yu just said, the directors of these five Chinese United Trade Unions are all serious businessmen, and they are all the first batch of Chinese businessmen to come to the New World to pan for gold and do it step by step.
However, since they can do this, they are more or less related to black and white, but compared with Old Man Li's Anliangtang, or even Xieshengtang and Yonglian, they can still be regarded as law-abiding.
Seeing that Zhou Yu finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a round figure, fleshy cheeks, and some signs of the Mediterranean Sea on the top of his head spoke:
"I think that President Li's decision must have his reasons, although this little brother seems to be very young, but you see how mature his conversation is, how steady, and our business center is basically not in New York, but Zhou Xiaobrother's Longxing Chamber of Commerce is rooted in the ground, there is a lot of investment, I am still very optimistic about the future development and prospects of the union, everyone, you say yes?"
The fat man who spoke was named Tian Xingfa, who was in the tobacco and alcohol business in private, and also engaged in the wholesale of Chinese medicinal materials on the surface.
However, as he said, his business focus is not on New York, and in the neighboring smaller towns and New Jersey, it will not have an impact on Zhou Yu's moonshine business.
"Tian Fatzi, why do you represent us? He said that if it was the president's introduction, it was the president's introduction, who could prove it? ”
At this time, a man with a wrinkled face, hair combed back, and deep nasolabial folds said in a salty tone.
This person's name is Jiao Chengzhou, who runs a trust company on the surface, but does smuggling work behind the scenes, and owns a sea transportation line.
Hearing this person stand up and sing the opposite, Li Sheng's face sank, and he was the first to be unwilling.
"What, Boss Jiao, can't you trust Brother Zhou and can't trust me Li Sheng? The president is my father, I am his son, and now the helmsman of An Liangtang, and his old man's bones are on the first floor before they are cold, do you think we will joke about the will? ”
As soon as Li Sheng's words fell, Jiao Chengzhou stood up and explained: "Brother Li Sheng, it's not that I don't believe that the president's will is fake, I just don't believe that the decision to let such a little ghost whose fetal hair has not yet faded join the council is correct, or is it that he induced the chairman to write down this condition when he was unconscious?" ”
"What? The situation you are talking about simply cannot happen! My dad will always be accompanied by two bodyguards, and they are his most trusted henchmen, and you don't know it! Moreover, the handwriting of the will has been personally checked by our children and grandchildren, and it is the old man's notes, and the tone and words used to speak show that there is nothing wrong with this will. Boss Jiao...... Could it be that you see that my father has already passed away, and Liao Baihua Suya and others have withdrawn from the competition, and they have a little calculation in their hearts? ”
Jiao Chengzhou's face changed, and he hurriedly softened his tone and said, "Boss Li, Master Li, you misunderstood what I meant......"
He seemed to want to explain something, but his body was pushed back into his chair from behind.
Boss Jiao was about to turn his head, but the person behind him used a cold and piercing thing that reflected the cold light against his neck.
Then, a strange, cold, emotionless voice sounded in his ears.
"What do you say? You say you're Liao Baihua's ally? Oh...... So that's the case, you dare to betray the old president, betray the Chinese United Trade Union, and eat things inside and out......"
Jiao Chengzhou's heart froze, and he was about to speak out to defend himself, but suddenly found that his voice could no longer make any sound, because his trachea had been cut by the sharp dagger, and all his breath was leaked from it.
The bleeding wound made him unable to explain anything for his words and deeds, so he could only strangle the wound on his neck, trying in vain to stop the blood from flowing out.
Desperate and shocked, Jiao Chengzhou's body shook and moved back, knocked over the high-backed chair he had just sat on, and fell to the ground with a "plop".
It was Hong Ah Ghost who did the action, and this scene also scared the remaining four directors to sweat on their foreheads, and they involuntarily sat up straight, not daring to look at Jiao Chengzhou, who was staring at death.
At this time, a young man who looked quite Sven, wearing a straight suit and a simple Chinese dragon printed on his cuffs, held a notebook and announced:
"Everyone, because Boss Jiao missed the old president, he actually drilled the tip of the horn for a while, angrily waved a knife to kill himself, followed the old president to drive the crane west, he left a will before his death, donated all the assets under his name to the Chinese United Chamber of Commerce, and set up a funeral fund to reward members who have made significant contributions to the Chamber of Commerce~ Let us applaud Boss Jiao's selfless dedication ~~!"
It was Lu Xiucai who spoke, and with his sudden applause, the other four directors turned pale, but they had to start clapping their hands against their will.
Although Li Sheng was quite surprised by Zhou Yu's methods, he didn't say anything, that Jiao Chengzhou had long been unpleasant to his eyes, and it was not impossible to take this opportunity to kill him.
Zhou Yu sat there, looking sad, and said: "Boss Jiao's character is beyond reach, I am ashamed of myself, so now let's turn the topic back on track, and now everyone starts voting, who will be the new president of the Chinese United Chamber of Commerce?" This time, the voting will be by secret ballot, so don't worry, respect your heart, and cast your sacred vote. ”
After speaking, the dog baby Zhou Zhen appeared on the side of the round table with a cardboard box.
The four directors exchanged glances with each other, wrote their names on the paper in front of them, and threw them into the cardboard box held by Zhou Zhen one by one.
Of course, this also includes Li Sheng and Zhou Yu's own votes.
Because there are a lot fewer council members for no reason, the speed of singing votes is not only halved, and some procedures in the middle have also been artificially simplified, at this moment in the private room of the teahouse, depression and silence have become the main theme, except for Zhou Zhen's singing votes and the slightly rapid breathing of everyone, there is nothing else.
"Zhou Yu Zhou boss one vote~~~"
Zhou Zhen took out the first piece of paper from the box, glanced at it, and couldn't help but show joy at the corner of his mouth.
"Li Sheng, Boss Li's one vote~~~"
When he read out the names on the second ballot, his brow furrowed unconsciously.
"Li Sheng, Boss Li's one vote~~~"
Another vote went to Li Sheng, and perhaps the directors of these councils put the last straw on the son of the former president.
For them, at least Li Sheng's temperament is familiar to them, and they also have the relationship of the old president, so they will not be like Zhou Yu, who is a young man, who is desperate to do things.
"Zhou Yu Zhou boss one vote~~~"
Fortunately, the fourth vote was cast by Zhou Yu, and the two of them each held two votes, and the tie was temporarily drawn.
"Zhou Yu Zhou boss one vote~~~"
"Li Sheng, Boss Li's one vote~~~"
Zhou Zhen finished reading all the votes, and suddenly found out embarrassedly that because a director who was qualified to vote had just been wiped by Hong Agui, the existing number of voters became six, and Zhou Yu and Li Sheng each had three votes, and there was no way to tell the winner.
Just as the atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence, a laugh suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hahaha~~~ Why don't you wait for me Lei Jiu to start voting? My vote goes to Boss Zhou Yuzhou~~~! ”
