Chapter 181: Shanzhai Goods
Subtitle of this chapter: Who agrees and who object?
"Master Ball, search..."
"Host, understand."
It doesn’t matter if our Master Yuan Ershi searches. After reading the results, his nose was so angry that he was crooked.
In fact, it was different from what he imagined. Whether it was Zhigongtang or Anliangtang so far...well, until the 1980s, they were still gangs that were not allowed to go to the Zhigongtang that was washed away and went to the other side of the Pacific.
The largest Chinese social group in the United States is called the China Office. It was founded in New York in 1882 by a group of overseas Chinese businessmen and filed a case against the Qing Dynasty. By the beginning of the 20th century, the China Office had gradually become large and the organization became more and more strict.
This club is also charitable. From 1910 to 1911, the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui and Hunan suffered major floods. During these major disasters, the Yellow River flooded from 1917 to 1918, they organized Chinese to donate money to the motherland. Later, they also established the "New York Chinese Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Funding Association" to support the motherland's War of Resistance.
In fact, the Chinese office also sent a letter of condolences and gifts to Master Yuan who was sick. However, he did not take this matter seriously at all, so he lost the opportunity to make friends.
Anliangtang and Zhigongtang are just overseas Chinese groups under the China Council. These overseas Chinese groups include the China General Chamber of Commerce (established in 1904), the United States-East Union Association (established in 1900), the Taishan Ningyang Association (established in 1890), the Kuomintang Eastern Branch (established in 1905), the Xiesheng Association (established in 1856. This was the first Chinese group and the first Hongmen "tangkou" in the Americas, and Bruce Lee was once a member of it.) and so on... By the end of World War II, there were more than 50 Chinese overseas Chinese groups.
So although the American Hongmen is awesome, even the Iron Fist is their double flower red stick. In fact, the people in Anliangtang, Zhigongtang and Xiesheng Club cannot serve as the chairman of the China Office. This ban was not broken until the 1980s.
Another interesting thing is that the Chaozhou Association, established in 1956, is the only overseas Chinese group that has not joined the China Public Administration. This is because... the vast majority of the members of the China Public Administration are from Guangdong.
He dragged the Hongqi Laowu aside impolitely and asked without hesitation: "Brother Fifth, this is not authentic anymore. We are our own brothers, so you can use these fake goods to fool me?"
When Li Jie heard this, he raised his thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are so wise and you can actually see that they are all fake. But the store name is fake, and the skills are all real..."
Master Yuan interrupted impatiently, "Okay, okay, Brother Fifth, just tell the truth. Are the people from the Chinese Public Institutions looking down on you... Well, our Hongmen?"
Hongqi Laowu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, just understand. These companies are the industries of our Hong brothers, but I have collected them all for you..."
He suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, when it comes to the Chinese Office, they have invited you to attend a charity dinner."
“What kind of charity dinner?”
Li Jie said in surprise: "I'm raising funds for the five North China provinces. Don't you know?"
"I don't know this, I'm right... Well, I really don't have time to pay attention to domestic news."
Yuan Yan suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. The history books I learned back then did not teach that there was a severe drought in five northern provinces in 1920. I seemed to have a look at the "Zi Linxi Daily": This summer, there was indeed a severe drought in the five provinces of Zhi, Shandong, Henan, Jin and Shaanxi, and the military disaster in the Zhi-Anhui War became even more harmful.
But he didn't care. Because according to Master Yuan's memory, there were famines and disasters every year in the Republic of China. What's so strange about a drought? Can the drought exceed the severe drought in Shaanxi in the 18th year of the Republic of China and the "water and drought yellow soup" in 1942 in 1999? (Note 1)
However, this drought is indeed a bit strange. It is strange that the role played by the civil relief groups far exceeds that of the Beiyang government. Especially overseas Chinese donated money enthusiastically, which became China's first international disaster relief activity.
The Party and the country have misled me!
There are only the Zhigong Party and the Double Flower Red Stick in history textbooks, and there is no mention of the Chinese Public Institution at all. I think the Hongmen is really awesome in the United States and can cover the sky with one hand, and I also become the second master of Nintendo's sage.
As for why the Party and the country do not mention the Chinese government, because they have turned against the communist after 49 years.
Well, everyone in the Chinese circle in New York should know that I am a Hong family. These old Chinese overseas are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and are worried about getting involved in Guan Fei, so they naturally dare not accept their "good intentions". Now it seems that having this identity is a burden.
Our Master Yuan said angrily: "Fifth Brother, Brother Wu, can't you tell them that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune?"
"I said it." Hongqi Laowu looked at him innocently, "But they all said that this doesn't sound that much, that..."
"Not very reliable, right?"
"Haha, my brother is smart."
Cong, your master, Hui, your mother!
John McCall came over and asked, "Neo, what happened?"
Things are in trouble!
"It's okay." Our Master Yuan said calmly, "I'll tell you a few private matters to Brother Wu."
His lawyer rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, let's go in. It's quite cold outside and it tastes bad here."
Yuan Yanshu was about to nod when he remembered something: "John, don't worry about the endorsement fee. Our top priority is..."
At this time, I heard the old fifth brother of Hongqi call out: "Everyone, go in!"
The group entered the large living room on the first floor of Anliang Building and sat down with guests and guests, and some people served tea.
Li Yiqing, who was sitting in the main seat, coughed, stood up and clasped his fists around and said, "Mr. Yuan Yanshu and several brothers are here today, and it is so bright. How can I be glorious..."
Master Yuan showed an impatient look and said, "It's great, it's all my brothers. Fifth brother, don't say anything about the scene. Let's just talk about the serious matter!"
He also stood up and looked around and said, "Okay, okay, I know the difficulties of brothers. In this way, I won't say anything extra. Let's start a pharmaceutical company together."
After all the trouble, you have to take action yourself.
"I have thought of the company name, so it is called kinghundredmountain, which is called Baisuishan in Chinese. Our first product is healthtreatmentesscen (literal translation: health treatment essence), which is Shenxianshui in Chinese."
Yuan Yan, who looked down on everyone, asked with his hands behind his back, "Who agrees and who opposes?"
……………………
Note 1: The severe drought in Shaanxi was extremely severe from the 18th to the 21st year of the Republic of China. At that time, the population of Shaanxi Province was 13 million, and the death toll was 2.5 million, which was equivalent to one of the five Shaanxi people who died!
And this happened in the so-called "golden decade".
Correct the previous two errors:
First, Murong checked and found that New York should indeed be classified as a temperate continental climate. However, it is affected by the Mexican warm current in summer and the Labrador cold current in winter. It seems that the oceanic climate is also acceptable.
Second, a rich friend pointed out that the cigar should be sealed first and then heated evenly with a blowtorch. In fact, Murong has never smoked high-end cigars several times, which is really a joke.
