Dingchuan Building.

"Today's Changju charter".

At the door, a sign was erected there.

"Changju" is the Qiu family's company, and no one in Sichuan does not know Changju.

The sedan stopped.

Qiu Xingchang opened the car door:

"Sir Meng, it's here."

Meng Shaoyuan walked into the Dingchuan Building.

There were ten tables in it.

As soon as they saw Qiu Xingchang coming in with Meng Shaoyuan, everyone stood up.

Meng Shaoyuan saw that Lu Yixuan was also there.

Lu Yixuan greeted him and introduced them one by one.

Qiu Xingchang's grandfather, Qiu Desong, the actual head of the Qiu family, Qiu Xingchang's father, Qiu Shenghe, chairman of "Changju", and Han Boyong, general manager of "Changju", ......

I have heard before that the Qiu family did not use their own family as the general manager, but specially hired externally, and from this point of view, it is already very enlightened and advanced.

Shi Xiaoxian, the chief helmsman of the Chongqing Brothers' Association, also came.

Not only him, but also a lot of law enforcement uncles, sage second masters, third masters in charge, etc.

This Shi Xiaoxian is short and looks thin, but his energy is extremely huge.

The rest are the employees of the two companies "Changju" and "Henglong", the family members of the Qiu family, and the managers of Chongqing Pao Gezhong.

This time the pomp was huge, and even the old man Qiu Desong, who had not appeared for a long time, came out, which shows that the Qiu family put a lot of thought into welcoming Meng Shaoyuan.

And it's obvious that he's prepared for both.

Meng Shaoyuan was invited to come, and everyone was overjoyed. If Meng Shaoyuan didn't come, it could also be said that Changju and Henglong had dinner together to deepen their relationship.

"Chief Meng, please, please."

Qiu Sheng and courteously invited Meng Shaoyuan to sit at the main table.

The main table is on the second floor, and they are the same table on the second floor.

The main seat is Qiu Desong, the old man of the Qiu family, and the main and guest seats on the left and right sides are Meng Shaoyuan and Shi Xiaoxian.

Meng Shaoyuan is Lu Yixuan on his right, Shi Xiaoxian is Qiu Shenghe on his left, and then Han Boyong is on his side.

Qiu Xingchang was also arranged at the main table.

Obviously, this was also deliberately arranged by Qiu Shenghe.

There are seven people at the table.

The opening remarks were naturally for Mr. Qiu to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please have a meal." Qiu Desong actually said this.

Qiu Shenghe came to the railing on the second floor and shouted below: "The old man said, please eat!" ”

Suddenly, the cups below were staggered, and the cups were pushed and changed.

Qiu Shenghe returned to the table: "Father, they started eating." ”

"Okay, okay." Qiu Desong immediately said: "Chief Meng is in an important position, his position is special, and he doesn't dare to publicize it excessively, so as not to be taken advantage of by a small party with ulterior motives, so I tell others today that I only say that it is the Changju Henglong Gala." Chief Meng is a distinguished guest at our banquet, and no one knows the identity of Chief Meng except for this table. ”

It really makes sense that the Qiu family can have such momentum in Sichuan, and even these details have been taken into account.

Then, Qiu Desong began the real opening remarks: "Although Chief Meng is far away in Shanghai and Nanjing, his fame has also spread to Sichuan, and the Japanese invaded, and Chief Meng bravely killed the enemy, which made the Japanese people frightened, and the Chinese ambition of the great chief, the old man admired it very much, and the Sichuan people greatly admired it, and Chief Meng was able to come to Chongqing, which is the blessing of my Chongqing and the blessing of Sichuan." Prepare a little thin wine today, thinking that Chief Meng will take the wind and wash the dust, everyone, please fill the glass! ”

They all raised their glasses and drank them all.

Qiu Xingchang immediately got up and poured wine for everyone.

I have specially explained it before, even if the food is served, the food will be sent to the second floor, and Qiu Xingchang will naturally serve it.

No one is allowed to go up to the second floor without permission.

The Qiu family is extremely meticulous in doing things, and all aspects have been taken into account.

"Chief Meng is not only a great hero, but also a business wizard." Qiu Shenghe also took the opportunity to say: "Since Mr. Lu was sent to Chongqing, the two companies of Changju and Henglong are thriving, and Manager Han and I often say that if Henglong does not come, my Changju is nothing more than nesting in Sichuan. ”

Business wizard?

Meng Shaoyuan felt strange, this was the first time someone called himself like this.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Meng Shaoyuan said modestly: "What a big hero, what a genius, Shaoyuan is ashamed to be it, it is nothing more than adhering to the duty of a soldier, sacrificing his life to kill the enemy, and dying." This time, the government and refugees entered Sichuan in a big way, which increased the pressure on Sichuan, and the elders of Sichuan felt that it was difficult and caused trouble to Sichuan. ”

"Where would Chief Meng say such a thing?" Qiu Desong's face was serious: "When the national disaster is at hand, the people of the whole country are nothing more than united in their hearts and minds to go to the national disaster together." Although my Sichuan is located on the border, there is no difference. The government is coming, and we are doing everything we can to welcome it. The refugees came, and we tried our best to arrange it, and that's it. ”

"Exactly, exactly." Qiu Shenghe said: "Last year, Sichuan suffered disasters year after year, and the whole country enthusiastically helped it, and now, it is time for me Sichuan to repay you." What's more, taking Chongqing as an example, so many people suddenly poured into Chongqing, although it inevitably caused all kinds of difficulties, chaos and crowding were inevitable, but there were other benefits.

I expect that this chaos will be in two or three months, and then it will gradually settle down. With so many people suddenly increasing, there will inevitably be countless business opportunities. Please think about it, first of all, the factories and machinery of Nanjing and other big cities were relocated to Sichuan in a big way, which made my industry and commerce in Sichuan a leap. Those talents can greatly promote the development of Sichuan.

Secondly, so many refugees, few of them came with all their belongings, and when they settled down in Chongqing, they wanted food, drink, clothing, and shelter, where did these things come from? It can't fall from the sky, it can only be solved on the spot, so Chongqing's large and small merchants are equivalent to adding countless opportunities out of thin air, which is a once-in-a-lifetime ah. ”

In the end, it is a businessman, others see the chaotic situation in Chongqing, but they see a huge business opportunity.

Meng Shaoyuan was very emotional in his heart.

"Exactly." Han Boyong nodded and said: "Not to mention, a pair of leather shoes imported from other places has been sold for more than four hundred yuan, although the fiat currency has depreciated, the profit is still more than double the past." If leather shoes are not a necessity, then rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are essential, and they are all bullish all the way. ”

Meng Shaoyuan's brows furrowed slightly.

This is good news for merchants, but not good news for refugees, whose wallets can quickly dry up. This prompted them to find jobs in a hurry.

The number of people and the limited amount of work will make the competition more intense, and the capital side can greatly reduce the remuneration.

But there is no way, this is not something that can be solved by yourself at all.

Let's take it one step at a time.

"Boss Meng, this is Shi Xiaoxian Shi Ye." Lu Yixuan was worried that Shi Xiaoxian would be left out in the cold: "When Henglong first came to Chongqing, although he had the full assistance of the Qiu family, Shi Ye also put a lot of thought into it, and helped us a lot in all aspects. ”

"Mr. Lu is polite, polite." Shi Xiaoxian with a strong Chongqing dialect: "Chief Meng can't come to the stage, little Japan is slanderous and treacherous, but Chief Meng is just pinning the old shell on the waistband of his pants and doing ...... with little Japan."

Meng Shaoyuan could only understand at most one of his ten sentences, but fortunately, Qiu Xingchang was on the side to help translate.

It probably means that Meng Shaoyuan is very remarkable, little Japan came to China to make trouble, and Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to fight with them. In the future, in Chongqing, as long as Meng Shaoyuan gives an order, the brothers will definitely help Yunyun.

"Shi Ye is a good man." On people's territory, Meng Shaoyuan also complimented: "In the past, the Sichuan Road Protection Movement, all parts of the province, organized the Baolu Comrades Association, and then developed into the anti-Qing Armed Forces Comrade Army, which was originally based on Brother Pao. Later, Brother Pao besieged Chengdu with 100,000 people, forcing the collapse of the Manchu regime, which I admired very much. ”

Hearing that Chief Meng not only knew Brother Pao very well, but also praised him so much, Shi Xiaoxian was overjoyed.

Earlier, Qiu Desong had a special talk with him, saying that the Nationalist Government had taken Chongqing as its capital this time, and if it moved here, the situation in Sichuan would inevitably change.

I'm afraid that walking on the streets of Chongqing and pulling any person may be a government official. Therefore, how to establish a good relationship with the government is an urgent task at present.

The chief helmsman of Chongqing is Shi Xiaoxian, and the chief helmsman of Chengdu is Chen Junshan, plus a big helmsman Leng Kaitai, which constitutes the main force of Sichuan Paoge.

Chen Junshan is old and rarely takes care of things, so the main competition comes from Shi Xiaoxian and Leng Kaitai. Although the two of them were polite on the surface, they were going to eat each other in their hearts.

During Liu Xiang's reign in Sichuan, Leng Kaitai helped him a lot.

Once, Liu Xiang purchased a large number of guns and ammunition from Shanghai and entered Sichuan, and when he passed through Wanxian, he was robbed by Yang Sen's subordinates pretending to be bandits, which made Liu Xiang very annoyed.

At the same time, the chairman of the NPC National Committee also strictly controlled the waterways in Nanjing and Wuhan, for fear that the Sichuan army would smuggle weapons through the waterways. It just so happened that Liu Xiang's military advisor Liu Congyun knew Leng Kaitai's ability to reach the sky, so he recommended Leng Kaitai to Liu Xiang.

Leng Kaitai heard that he was buying weapons from Shanghai to enter Sichuan, and even said: "Why didn't you say such a small thing earlier?" ”

This Leng Kaitai really got it, and went to Shanghai to buy a large number of guns and ammunition from the Tuoqing Gang, escorted them with French warships along the way, and through the dredging of Yang Qingshan by the Hongmen Gang in Hankou, a large number of guns and ammunition arrived in Chongqing safely.

Liu Xiang couldn't imagine that a leader of the robe brother was so hand-eyed, so he kept Leng Kaitai by his side, first made him the deputy director of the Yichang Office, and later promoted to the director of the Sichuan Aviation Inspection Department and the intelligence director of the Sichuan Aftermath Supervision Office.

This time, Leng Kaitai turned into a member of the official family.

In contrast, although Shi Xiaoxian is in Chongqing and is in charge of tens of thousands of robe brothers, he has fallen behind in the competition.

It's just that I never thought that this time the Nationalist Government moved the capital to Chongqing, which was equivalent to a big pie falling from the sky, giving Shi Xiaoxian a rare opportunity.

Qiu Desong introduced to him that Meng Shaoyuan was a military commander with great energy, and if he could have a good relationship with him, he would be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of competition with Leng Kaitai in an instant.

So this time, Shi Xiao came to the banquet first, and he had made up his mind to please Meng Shao.
