That is, it is called a clear stream, and naturally likes to invite names. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not to mention the business elite like Wang Muyi, people are already rich, but what they lack is fame and influence.

The most bizarre thing is Wei Ziwen, this gentleman has obviously done all the bad things, and he is doing the turbidity of the Green Gang, but he wants to squeeze into the clear stream. He said righteously: "If we engage in charity, we must engage in real charity." can't be like Du Xiaoshan of Bashantang, cheating money in the name of charity, I look down on this kind of person. Every cent of the money we raise will be used for the victims! ”

"Brother Wei said it well, what a good man." Zhou Hexuan praised half-sarcastically and half-sincerely. He was sarcastic about Wei Ziwen's usury, and sincerity was to fully believe what Wei Ziwen said at the moment.

People like Wei Ziwen who chase good fame are definitely more serious than most people when they start charity, and they belong to paranoid hobbies and beliefs.

Well, in fact, Wei Ziwen believed in Buddhism.

This guy feels that he has done too many bad things, and he is afraid that he will go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, and even harm his children and grandchildren, so he is crazy about charity and accumulation of virtue.

Zhang Yinghua wanted to take advantage of Zhou Hexuan's path to seek refuge with Zhang Xueliang, and also echoed: "I have always been honest as an official, although I don't have much money in my name, but charity is a century-old plan, and I should do my part." Count me as one of the benevolent churches! ”

Guan Xingquan then said: "I run a theater and can help organize disaster relief performances. ”

"Count me in." Wang Muyi doesn't like to talk empty words, he takes a pragmatic line, and he will inevitably contribute to the management of Shantang in the future.

After a few glasses of wine, the people in the Green Gang expressed their support for the establishment of a charity hall and relief for the victims.

Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, these guys here are all big guys of the Green Gang (Yuan Kewen is really a big character). They have opened a fragrant hall in Tianjin, and there are many disciples under them, and those disciples are also quite energetic.

With their support, philanthropy can be carried out vigorously.

Now that you've made up your mind, the next thing to focus on is coming up with a name for the charity. Some people say it's called "Jinjihui", some people say it's called "Happodo", and finally "Qingzentang" is recognized by the vast majority of people.

"We are all members of the Qing Gang, and it is most appropriate to call Qingshantang." Li Hanchen, comprador of Tianjin Barge Company, said.

"It's not proper," Yuan Kewen shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou is not from our Qinggang, if it is called Qingshantang, wouldn't he be excluded?" ”

Pan Zixin clapped his hands and smiled: "That's not easy, Mr. Zhou can also join our Green Gang." ”

Yuan Kewen rolled his eyes and asked, "Worship under whom?" ”

"Uh......" Pan Zixin was speechless.

The people here are all general-character generations, and Yuan Kewen, a big-character generation who spent money to buy, can't be counted at all. If Zhou Hexuan joins the Green Gang, he must at least find a big character to apprentice, otherwise he will inevitably be inferior to them.

And now the big characters in Tianjin, there are only Li Dahai and Li Dasen (Chu Yupu's Qinggang master), who are both turbidity current characters, and they are not all the way to you now.

Zhou Hexuan didn't want to mix with the gang, but he wanted to have a good relationship with the gang figures, so he immediately said nonsense: "Red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots, the three sects were originally a family." To tell the truth, the contemptible person is a disciple of the Hongmen in the United States, and he has a deep relationship with the Green Gang. ”

"Mr. Zhou is actually a disciple of Hongmen?" Everyone was shocked.

Hongmen was originally called the Heaven and Earth Society, advocating the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty; The Green Gang, also known as the Cao Gang, is a guild in nature.

In the past, Hongmen regarded the Qinggang as traitors, thinking that they were willing to be the lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and strictly forbade Hongmen members to switch to the Qinggang. From Hong to Qing, peeling and cramping". However, in the late Qing Dynasty, with the opening of the sea ban, Caoyun changed to the sea route, and a large number of Qinggang disciples lost their livelihoods and began to rebel.

The hostility between the two gangs naturally disappeared, and the most famous were Sun Yat-sen and Qiu Jin. The former was a member of the Hongmen, and the latter was a disciple of the Qing Gang, both of whom campaigned for the anti-Qing revolution.

Although everyone in the room was surprised, they were also quickly relieved. Because the Chinese in the United States have a difficult life, if they want to live a better life, it is normal to defect to Hongmen, but it is unusual to have nothing to do with Hongmen.

Wei Ziwen asked, "What kind of character is Mr. Zhou from Hongmen?" ”

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Hongmen is commensurate with brothers, and there is no such thing as seniority. ”

"Oh, I see." Wei Ziwen made a fuss, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Yuan Kewen was quite surprised, raised his glass and said: "Brother Zhou, why didn't you say it earlier if you were from Hongmen." Haha, let's have two drinks! ”

"Well said, cheers!" Zhou Hexuan drank it all heartily.

It is not a shame to pretend to be Hongmen, who has changed its name to the Zhi Gong Party at this time and is changing from a gang to a political party. In the 21st century, there are still more than 40,000 Zhi Gong members in China, and the slogan is "building a socialist political party with Chinese characteristics."

Mr. Situ Meitang, the leading boss of Hongmen in the United States, later participated in the founding ceremony, and stood on the tower of Tianxmen at that time.

Since they are all from the rivers and lakes, the atmosphere will be even more enthusiastic.

In the end, after discussion, the newly formed charity was called the "Jimin Association", with Zhou Hexuan as the honorary president (chairman), Wang Muyi as the secretary general, Wei Ziwen made a vice president with a dead face, and everyone else served as directors.

Yuan Kewen doesn't want to do anything, he doesn't like mundane affairs, and he doesn't invite false fame, he is only interested in eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and smoking.

At dinner that night, more than 40,000 yuan was raised. Zhou Hexuan pledged 5,000, Wei Ziwen pledged 3,000, and most of the others were between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Yuan Kewen shouted that he was poor and had no money, but he also donated a pair of calligraphy works from the Ming Dynasty, which could probably be sold for a few hundred yuan.

In the following days, the disciples of these people also expressed their intention to join the "Jimin Association", and within a few days, hundreds of members were grown. The annual membership fee per person is 5 yuan, which is another income of several thousand yuan.

They like fame, and Zhou Hexuan gives it. On the second page, Ta Kung Pao solemnly reported on the establishment of the "Jimin Association", published the names of these guys, and at the same time called on ordinary people to donate money.

Wei Ziwen saw his name in the newspaper, and he was listed in front as the vice president, and he was overjoyed, and donated another 1,000 yuan. This guy takes good name very seriously, and of course, donations are donations, and his usury business continues.

Guan Xingquan gave full play to his advantages in running a theater and organized charity performances in conjunction with famous Peking Opera actors. After Meng Xiaodong learned about it, he brought the entire troupe to Tianjin to support, and Wanrong also donated 500 oceans and some jewelry.

The funds raised are more than enough to help the victims of the disaster.

What bothered Zhou Hexuan was that more and more refugees were pouring in from Shandong, and by early May, the number was approaching 20,000.
