Chapter 859: The Gathering of Rich Businessmen
Jiang Tianlun slowly landed on the shore, sailors tied the cables and lowered the gangway. Passengers from third-class cabins and one ordinary cabin on the bottom floor rushed out of the cabin door like a tide.
However, these ordinary passengers have other exports.
The dedicated access for passengers in the top VIP cabin is not with ordinary passengers.
When an old man wearing a navy blue gown appeared at the cabin door, Zhong Yi was immediately excited and came!
Although it was the first time we met, Zhong Yi still recognized it at a glance. The thin old man was Yu Fangqing, who helped President Chang to become a representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, which helped President Chang to the national leader.
Why? Because Zhong Yi has seen his photos.
The old saying goes, a cannon is lit and ten thousand taels of gold is actually a battle of modern warfare, and it is actually a logistics and money!
So in modern times, a very interesting phenomenon has emerged. No matter which military strongman is, there is a red-topped businessman or group behind it.
Behind Zeng Guofan is Hu Xueyan.
Behind Zuo Zongtang is Da Shengkui.
Behind Li Hongzhang is Sheng Xuanhuai.
When it comes to President Chang, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium is behind it.
Yu Fangqing is the representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium.
At the beginning of Ninghan diversion, without the support of Yu Fangqing and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, President Chang would not have stood out in the competition with Wang Jingwei and others.
Of course, Zhong Yi was not interested in Yu Fangqing because of this.
The reason why Zhong Yi was interested in Yu Fangqing was because of his character and his position.
For our party, Yu Fangqing is of course an enemy, but Yu Fangqing still made great contributions to the country and the Chinese nation's war of resistance, which must not be erased.
In a word, as long as you get the support of Yu Fangqing, this auction will be successful.
On the other hand, if Yu Fangqing secretly obstructs, then the auction will be in lingering.
"Old Yu!" Zhong Yi quickly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome."
Hu Baozhen quickly followed and introduced to Yu Fangqing with a hand: "Old Yu, this is Mayor Zhong."
"Mayor Zhong." Yu Fangqing then reached out and grabbed Zhong Yi with a gentle scrutiny, and said, "Mayor Zhong is really young and promising. It is so lucky that the elders of Yinjiang can have a parent official like you."
From Yu Fangqing, Zhong Yi felt a faint alienation.
However, Zhong Yi didn't care. After all, he was the principal's guest, so it was normal to be reserved.
"Old Yu is too rewarded, so he dare not take it." Zhong Yi said, "Young is real, but if you have a chance, you may not be successful. If you have something that is not good enough, please forgive me."
Yu Fangqing couldn't help but look at Zhong Yi more.
Because he could hear that Zhong Yi was actually explaining Chen Jinmu's affairs to him.
No matter what, Zhong Yi finally took the initiative to reconcile with him.
Yu Fangqing smiled slightly, then turned around and introduced the middle-aged man behind him: "Mayor, this is Qin Yexian, Camelman, and the chemical king in Shanghai."
"Mr. Qin, I'm lucky to meet." Zhong Yi quickly reached out to hold on to Qin Yexian.
While Zhong Yi shook hands with Qin Yexian, he was very grateful.
Fortunately, Fang Jianwei and the Second Special War Squadron were sent to Shanghai this time, otherwise it would be too late to regret it!
Because it was just established, No. 76, who was eager to show his merits to the Japanese master, actually sent an assassin to kill Qin Yexian and other Yinjiang merchants.
But fortunately, Fang Jianwei and the Second Special War Squadron were resolved.
Compared to Yu Fangqing, Qin Yexian's attitude towards Zhong Yi is much more intimate.
After shaking hands, Qin Yexian smiled and said, "Mayor Zhong, I have long admired your reputation. But before, I only knew that you were very good at fighting, but I didn't know that you were also a good player in the economy!"
"I dare not take it." Zhong Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "Mr. Qin, you really admire your reputation for a long time."
After pausing, Zhong Yi continued: "When it comes to economic development, I don't know anything about economy. It's just a blind effort. I have to rely on Mr. Qin and you all for help."
"Highly." Qin Yexian said with a smile, "The mayor is too modest."
At this time, Yu Fangqing introduced again: "This is named Xiang Maobai, the general manager of Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Company."
"Mr. Xiang, lucky to know!" Although I have never heard of Xiang Maobai's name, this does not hinder Zhong Yi's inner enthusiasm, because this is a pharmaceutical company.
In the war-torn era, all kinds of medicines are always in short supply!
"Mayor Zhong, I'm lucky to meet." Xiang Maobai reached out and grabbed Zhong Yi gently.
Yu Fangqing then introduced the wealthy merchants standing behind Xiang Maobai.
"This person is Liu Xiyuan, the general manager of Yapuer Electric Appliance Company."
"This one is Ding Zuocheng, general manager of Dahua Science Instruments Company."
"This person is the general manager of Greater China Match Factory, Liu Hongsheng, the match king in Shanghai."
"These two are the general managers and vice presidents of Sanyou Industrial Company, Chang Chengyun and Yang Jiucheng."
With Yu Fangqing's introduction, one after another of the Yinjiang merchants came forward one by one to shake hands with Zhong Yi. For a moment, there were many wealthy merchants on the China Merchants Wharf.
It must be admitted that the Yinjiang Business Gang was really strong during the Republic of China.
Having seen everyone with li, Zhong Yi made another short speech.
It is nothing more than expressing gratitude, and hopes that they can benefit their hometown. After the speech, they sent these luxury merchants to Yinjiang Hotel in a pre-prepared convoy.
This auction is at Yinjiang Hotel, but in the form of a dinner party.
Soon, Yu Fangqing, Qin Yexian and other wealthy merchants in Yinjiang were sent away one after another.
Until everyone was sent away, Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief without any trace.
Just now, Zhong Yi's heart was always hanging, afraid that something would go wrong.
Because based on the clues that Fang Jianwei had pried out from Huang Quan two days ago, the Japanese Mei organs will send an assassination team to Yinjiang to organize and carry out assassination activities.
Cao Ziying's police station has been searching for the assassination team, but has not been found.
So, Zhong Yi was really worried that something would happen just now, and that would be a huge loss.
It was not until this time that Shui Sheng finally found the opportunity to report his work to Zhong Yi.
"Mayor!" Shui Sheng said with his head down, "You punish us, we failed to protect Mr. Qin."
"I already know about Mr. Qin, but fortunately his injury is not serious." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "This is also a great blessing in disgrace. You must learn from your lessons in the future."
After saying this, Zhong Yi turned around to An Zhenyuan, who was responsible for the security tasks of the auction: "Xiao Anzi, come back and ask Shuisheng carefully, and then learn from the experience of the general manager and learn from the lessons. This time, we must do a good job in the security and protection of Yinjiang Hotel, and we will never allow any mistakes!"
