The Jiang Tianlun slowly approached the shore, the sailors tied the cables, lowered the gangway, and the passengers in the third-class cabin on the ground floor and the ordinary cabin on the first floor poured out of the hatch like a tide.

It's just that these ordinary passengers have other exits.

Passengers in the VIP cabin on the top floor go through the special aisle, and they are not with ordinary passengers.

When an old man wearing a navy blue robe appeared at the door of the cabin, Zhong Yi suddenly perked up and came!

Although it was the first time they met, Zhong Yi still recognized it at a glance, this thin old man was Yu Fangqing, the representative of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium that single-handedly helped President Chang to the leader of the country.

Why? Because Zhong Yi has seen his photos.

As the old saying goes, when a cannon goes off, it costs ten thousand taels of gold, and in modern warfare, what is fought is actually logistics, it is money!

So in modern times, there is a very interesting phenomenon, no matter which military strongman, there is a red-top businessman or group behind it.

There is Hu Xueyan behind Zeng Guofan.

Zuo Zongtang has Da Shengkui behind him.

Behind Li Hongzhang is Sheng Xuanhuai.

When it came to President Chang, behind him was the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

And Yu Fangqing is the representative of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

At the very beginning of the Ninghan diversion, without the support of Yu Fangqing and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, it would have been impossible for President Chang to stand out in the competition with Wang Jingwei and others.

Of course, Zhong Yi is not interested in Yu Fangqing because of this.

The reason why Zhong Yi is interested in Yu Fangqing is because of his personality and position.

As far as our party is concerned, Yu Fangqing is of course an enemy, but Yu Fangqing has still made great contributions to the country and the Chinese nation's war of resistance, which absolutely cannot be erased.

In a word, as long as Yu Fangqing has the support, this auction will be completed.

On the other hand, if Yu Fangqing is secretly obstructing, then this auction will be hanging.

"Old Yu!" Zhong Yi hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome." ”

Hu Baozhen hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Yu Fangqing with a solemn hand: "Old Yu, this is Mayor Zhong. ”

"Mayor Zhong." Yu Fangqing reached out and shook Zhong Yi gently, and said, "Mayor Zhong is really young and promising, and it is fortunate that Yinjiang's father 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, and it was normal to be reserved.

"Yu Lao has won awards, and he doesn't dare to be it." Zhong Yi said, "It's true that you are young, but you may not be promising, if you don't do well enough, please ask Elder Yu to bear with me." ”

Yu Fangqing couldn't help but glance at Zhong Yi more.

Because he could hear that Zhong Yi was actually explaining Chen Jinmu's matter to him.

No matter what, Zhong Yi still put on a posture of wanting to reconcile with him.

At that moment, Yu Fangqing smiled slightly, and then turned around to introduce the middle-aged man behind him: "Mayor, this is Qin Lixian, a camel man, and a chemical king in Shanghai. ”

"Mr. Qin, I'm glad to meet you." Zhong Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Qin Liquid Immortal.

Zhong Yi shook hands with Qin Liquid Immortal, but he was glad in his heart.

This time, fortunately, Fang Jianwei and the Second Special Operations Squadron were sent to Shanghai, otherwise, it would have been too late to regret it!

Because No. 76, which had just been established and was eager to show his merits to the Japanese masters, really sent assassins to kill Qin Lixian and other Yinjiang Haoshang.

But fortunately, Fang Jianwei and the Second Special Operations Squadron were resolved.

Compared with Yu Fangqing, Qin Lixian's attitude towards Zhong Yi was much more affectionate.

After shaking hands, Qin Lixian said with a smile: "Mayor Zhong, I have admired your name for a long time, but I only knew that you were very good at fighting in the past, but I didn't know that you were also a good hand in the economy!" ”

"Don't dare to be." Zhong Yi waved his hand again and again, "I am right, Mr. Qin, you are the one who really admires the name for a long time." ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "When it comes to the economy, how can I understand the economy, it's nothing more than blind hunting, and I have to rely on Mr. Qin and all of you to help me." ”

"Humble." Qin Lixian smiled and said, "The mayor is too modest. ”

At this time, Yu Fangqing introduced again: "This name is Xiang Maobai, the general manager of Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Company. ”

"Mr. Xiang, it's a good luck!" Although he had never heard of Xiang Maobai's name, this did not hinder Zhong Yi's eagerness in his heart, because this was a pharmaceutical company.

In the war era, all kinds of medicines are always in short supply!

"Mayor Zhong, it's a good thing." Xiang Maobai stretched out his hand and shook Zhong Yi gently.

Yu Fangqing went on to introduce the wealthy businessmen standing behind Xiang Maobai.

"This one is the general manager of Yapur Electric Company, Liu Xiyuan."

"This one is the general manager of Dahua Scientific Instrument Company, Ding Zuocheng."

"This one is the general manager of the Great China Match Factory, the match king in Shanghai, Liu Hongsheng."

"These two are the general manager and vice president of Sanyou Industrial Company, Chang Chengyun and Yang Jiucheng."

With Yu Fangqing's introduction, one after another Yinjiang wealthy businessmen stepped forward to shake hands with Zhong Yi and salute them, and for a while, the China Merchants Wharf was really full of wealthy businessmen.

It must be admitted that the strength of the Yinjiang merchant gang during the Republic of China was really strong.

After meeting everyone, Zhong Yi made another short speech.

It is nothing more than to express gratitude, and at the same time hope that they can benefit the township, and after the speech, they sent these wealthy businessmen to the Yinjiang Hotel with a convoy prepared in advance.

This auction was held at the Yinjiang Hotel, but in the form of a gala dinner.

Soon, Yu Fangqing, Qin Lixian and other wealthy businessmen in Yinjiang were sent away one after another.

It wasn't until everyone was sent away that Zhong Yi breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

Just now, Zhong Yi's heart was always hanging, for fear that something would go wrong.

Because according to the clues that Fang Jianwei pried out from Huang Quan's mouth two days ago, the Mei organ of the Japanese army will send an assassination team to Yinjiang to organize and carry out the assassination activities.

Cao Ziying's police station has been searching for the assassination team, but it has not been found.

Therefore, Zhong Yi was really worried that something would happen just now, and then he would lose a lot.

It was only at this time that Shui Sheng finally found an opportunity to report to Zhong Yi.

"Mayor!" Shui Sheng drooped his head and said, "You punish us, we failed to protect Mr. Qin." ”

"I already know about Mr. Qin, but fortunately, his injuries are not serious." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "This is also a great luck in misfortune, you must learn a lesson in the future." ”

After saying this, Zhong Yi turned back to An Zhenyuan, who was in charge of the security task of this auction, and said: "Xiao Anzi, you should ask Shui Sheng when you go back, and then learn from the experience and lessons learned from it, this time you must do a good job in the safety and security of Yinjiang Hotel no matter what, and never allow the slightest mistake!" ”

An Zhen stood up and said proudly: "Yes!" ”
