Volume III Aftermath 87 Hong Kong, Szeto Maiden's Mobilization Meeting
Meihua Company has announced its entry into the Hong Kong insurance market in a high-profile manner, has successfully acquired the British-funded Qichang Insurance Company, and has also made the decision to make its subsidiary CLP Power Company independent.
As soon as the news broke, it caused a small sensation in Hong Kong. Qichang Insurance Company is also a company to be reckoned with in Hong Kong, and it also controls industries such as power companies, hotels, and terminals.
A few days ago, there were rumors in the society that Qichang Insurance Company's investment failed and was almost bankrupt, but people never expected it to be taken down by Meihua Company all of a sudden, so that many people were not psychologically prepared.
People have talked about the strength of Meihua, and the limelight has the tendency to catch up with and surpass Jardine Matheson, HSBC and other old consortia, and gradually accepted that the Meihua consortium has become the same weight as Jardine Matheson and HSBC.
In a mansion in Hong Kong, the shareholders of the Bank of Guangdong gathered together to discuss, and major shareholders such as Li Yutang, Lu Pengshan, and Li Zizhong were also there, but the central figure did sit on the side with a smug face.
Casually interjecting, Anliangtang's gang company Anliangtang Real Estate Company also followed Meihua Company to invest in the Bank of Guangdong, although the shares are not much, but it does represent the Meihua consortium, and this Situ Meiden does have self-reliance capital.
"Meihua is really extraordinary! Aren't we the bosses of those foreign devils now? Lu Pengshan said with a smile.
After the merger of the Bank of Guangdong into the Bank of America, the original shareholders also became shareholders of the Bank of America, but most of the shares were still in the hands of the Bank of America and China.
Lu Pengshan's joke caused a burst of joy from everyone. There is some truth in his words.
"If you want me to say, it's still Brother Situ who is amazing, he did such a big thing quietly, and gave me a gorgeous turn! Speaking of this beauty, it's really enough????? OK.
If it weren't for your brother who came to sue us old friends, we really didn't know that such an amazing Meihua company appeared in Nanyang! Li Zizhong sighed to Situ Meiden.
"Who's to say it isn't? I also heard that those young people in Guangzhou have recently cooperated with the Ho Tung family and the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong. I think that's not the case with Jardine HSBC! Li Yutang said.
As the richest man in Hong Kong, he knows more than anyone else. With Meihua's recent big moves, he was more and more surprised.
Situ Meiden smiled reservedly, how could he have thought that one of his gang leaders was now more beautiful than these big businessmen?
Calming down the emotion in his heart a little, Situ Meiden smiled and said, "Today, there are some things to discuss with old friends. First of all, I am representing the Meihua Company and the overseas Chinese, and I would like to explain some information to you.
All of us here are Cantonese people, and most of us have gone abroad and suffered abroad, although we are living a good life now, but everyone knows that even if we have money, we will not be respected.
Let's take the land under our feet as an example, if it is not good, it depends on the face of the British, so don't look at Meihua is quite beautiful outside, but behind the scenes, everyone may not know how much we pay. The reason why the United States and China are not always based in San Francisco, but they have to run to the South Seas and run back to the mainland of the motherland, is because the better we develop in the United States, the more dangerous it becomes! ”
Situ Meiden said indignantly.
Originally, he didn't know this feeling, but with the expansion of the American and Chinese forces in the United States, although he could be blessed by the William Consortium, he faced more and more resistance, and some people who were originally friendly to the Chinese also began to express their worries about the Chinese.
It's unnecessary, but that's it, and it comes down to ?????
Even Situ Nan, after World War I, did not dare to let the American Chinese company immigrate to the United States in large numbers from China.
The development strategy of the Zhi Gong Party in the United States is more to improve the quality of the Chinese, such as investing in education, encouraging Chinese naturalization in the United States, encouraging Chinese to engage in middle-class professions such as lawyers, doctors, and skilled workers, and consciously strengthening ties with charitable organizations in the United States.
In a word, the migration strategy shifted from quantitative migration to suzhì migration.
It is also the policy of the Zhi Gong Party to vigorously organize and encourage Chinese young people to study in the United States, on the one hand, to reserve talents for the country and also for the Zhi Gong Party itself.
Don't underestimate the patriotic enthusiasm of international students in this era, and don't think that they are fighting to stay in the United States after studying abroad, so it is of positive significance for the Zhi Gong Party and the US-China Company to organize and encourage Chinese young people to study in the United States and Europe.
Well, a bit off topic.
Seeing that Situ Meiden was a little excited, a group of bigwigs from the Guangdong Bank in the room felt that today's affairs were a little strict.
"Brother Situ, if you have something to say, just say it! I've also suffered outside, and we all know what you say! As long as it's not a hurtful thing, even if it's a big thing, I will support you! ”
Lu Pengshan said loudly. He has the strongest relationship with Situ Meiden. When he was in San Francisco before, Stuart helped him a lot.
"Yes! Old Situ, everyone is their own person, if you have something to say, just say it! The other bigwigs chimed in.
These people can't do it if they want to carry guns and fight hard, but if you want to say that there is still revolution, isn't it because these overseas Chinese businessmen contributed money and efforts that the Qing Dynasty supported several uprisings of the League in a row to shake the rule of the Qing Dynasty?
It's just that after Xinhai, all kinds of things in the Republic of China disappointed them, and their enthusiasm also cooled down. For businessmen, it seems that they want to contribute to the country, but they have no way to serve the country!
What chaotic times!
"Good!" Situ Meiden glanced at the audience and said slowly, "Someone once told me that the continent is too big, and it is not for one person or a group of people to clean up the rivers. The fact that this country is poor and weak is difficult to reverse all of a sudden, and we as businessmen want to have a good environment, but when we look around, we really can't find a place where we can be dignified.
Everyone has been abroad, we know the pain of going abroad, in the South Seas, the sale of piglets is still there, the British, the Dutch are bullying us, and our suffering can not be redressed, so what should we do? If there is no answer to this question, we will not be able to improve what we have achieved in business today.
To put it bluntly, we are just better off than those piglets. ”
Situ Meiden's words made everyone feel anxious, and they nodded secretly, and couldn't help but think back to all kinds of encounters in the past. Although they are lucky and can achieve some achievements in business, they know that Chinese capital is weak compared with foreigners.
"That's right! After our business grew to a certain extent, most of them were defeated by the joint strangulation of foreigners. There are so many examples! ”
Li Yutang said, seeing that Situ Meiden was still a little hidden, he asked directly, "Old Situ, are you going to fight?!" ”
Li Yutang is too experienced in this regard, because in the past, when the revolutionaries came to fool him, they would always lay out a lot of similar opening remarks, and the tone was similar to that of Situ Meiden.
"Dude! Are you going to hit those people in Guangxi? If you're looking for someone who is reliable, I'm definitely for it. Damn, Sun Cannon, he likes to get entangled with those provincial people and lure wolves into the house, it's really not a good thing! It's still Lu Pengshan, he said bluntly.
Hearing him shouting like this, everyone realized something, thinking that this Situ Meiden probably got on with some kind of immortal, and wanted to do something in Guangzhou.
Is this done? It won't be a "car cannon" again, right?
Although there were some doubts in the hearts of the people, they also expressed their support.
After all, most of the people in this era have regional views, and the merchants really don't like the Gui army that is exploited in Guangzhou, otherwise there will be no battle of Guangdong and Guizhou in the coming year.
For the Gui army, Guangxi was too poor to support so many soldiers, and it was normal to expand outward. The Republic of China is said to be a country, but in fact, it is just a little better than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Thank you for your kindness! That was not what I meant! It's not to fight the Gui army. Just, how to say it? Or Meihua Company, our Meihua Company has invested too much in Nanyang, so much that you can't imagine, and its strength is much stronger than you imagined!
Naturally, we have also absorbed a large amount of capital from overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and the Lu family, the Zhang family in Singapore, the Lee family in Penang, the tin king Hu Guolian, and the sugar king Huang Zhonghan have also joined us, and we have the heart to do a great business in Nanyang!
The brothers also have a lot of business in Nanyang, and you should understand that our Chinese in Nanyang are like sandwich cakes, sandwiched between white and black natives, and they have to leave blood from time to time! Everyone knows the tragedy and bitterness of it! Therefore, in order to let our tens of millions of overseas Chinese have a way to live, in order to make everyone's business have a way to live, we may have to do the opposite! ”
Situ Meiden almost roared, his open hair was like an angry lion, only to see him hammer the table hard, raise his head and chest, clench his fists, his eyes were majestic, and there was indescribable tragedy! Well, I seem to be confident, too.
"What?"
"Nanyang?"
"Rebellion?"
Everyone was a little stunned by Situ Meiden's words, looked at Situ Meiden with a surprised face, and said in their hearts: This old Situ, is he crazy?! Could it be that Meihua is just a bunch of crazy people?!
The atmosphere was a little solemn, and everyone's excited hearts began to sink, and their eyes were focused on Situ Meiden, waiting for him to explain.
Situ Meiden secretly paid attention to everyone's expressions, doubting, supporting, admiring, and confused, and more were indeed not confident. He sighed secretly in his heart, somewhat understanding what Situ Nan said before. Fortunately, there is no need to expect these people to make much effort, even the Meihua Company and the Zhi Gong Party have enough confidence and certainty to succeed.
Lu Pengshan, who was still outspoken, was the first to speak out to break the embarrassing atmosphere, he hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you are enough!" Brother also supports you, I will give 500,000! Buying and selling cannons, Lao Tzu is old, although he can't go to the battlefield, but it is also incumbent on him to pay for his two sons. ”
was said by Lu Pengshan, everyone's minds also changed, and there was something called support or encouragement in their eyes.
Situ Meideng looked at Lu Pengshan, whose sideburns were a little pale, and felt a little in his heart, he nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, pressed down slowly and hard, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I understand your intentions!" Today, I didn't ask everyone to contribute money or effort. Just to explain our situation so that everyone can have confidence in us.
We are fully capable of dealing with the Dutch! It's just that the time is not yet ripe, once it breaks out, it will turn Nanyang upside down, divide the territory, establish a country on its own, and revive the Han style! ”
Situ Meiden waved his hand vigorously, and it seemed that a single punch had knocked the Dutch back home.
Belch!!!
Everyone took a breath of cold air in their hearts, and it was like thunder! Looking at the imposing Situ Meiden, slowly, they calmed down.
Well, it turned out to be against the Dutch, there were no British, Americans, and they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
And those families in Nanyang who support it?
Are those guys that brave?
Is it true or false?
However, if the United States and China gather them to fight hard, it seems that it is only feasible to deal with the Dutch?!
Well, you don't have to pay or don't have to contribute, and it doesn't seem like you have anything to lose! Those old foxes spun around in their hearts, and most of their hearts were relieved.
"Ahem!" Li Yutang coughed, just now he thought that Situ Meiden was going to turn into a fate? This Situ Meiden said it so tragically and movingly, if he didn't support one or two, he couldn't say it.
"Please speak up to Brother Situ! Anyway, you are also a righteous act, and we have to support one or two. But you say, you, who are you? ”
As soon as Li Yutang's words fell, everyone's eyes converged on Situ Meideng's face again, and they faintly thought that the next words were the focus of today.
That's a good question! Now, I want my friends to explain it clearly. We are the Zhi Gong Dang, a party whose purpose is to safeguard the interests of the Chinese people, revitalize the Han style, and establish a Chinese country in Nanyang in view of the hopelessness of the revolution of the motherland on the mainland, so as to open the eyes of the Chinese all over the world. At the same time, it also establishes an independent Chinese country to feed back to the mainland motherland! ”
Situ Meiden explained that he told Li Yutang and Lu Pengshan about the establishment of the Zhi Gong Dang, and at the same time selectively revealed the power of the Zhi Gong Dang in Nanyang in order to increase their confidence.
As for the "Hermes-epitek Freemasonry" created by Situ Nan, Situ Meiden knows a little, but he is not very clear.
He also didn't know much about some of the projects that the Nanyang Foundation was secretly preparing in the next few years, but he knew that part of the strength of the United States and China that he knew should be able to deal with the Dutch.
He also heard Situ Nan mention that in case something unexpected happens, the William consortium will not hesitate to lose part of its benefits in exchange for the support of other consortiums for the more excessive actions of the United States and China.
What is the specific, Situ Nan did not tell Situ Meiden, but Situ Meiden is still full of confidence, because in his heart, no matter how strong he imagines Situ Nan, Situ Nan will always exceed his expectations in the end.
"I'll just say? Why is it that in recent years, overseas Chinese in Nanyang and North America have donated so little to the revolutionary parties in China? So you've got your own plans! Li Yutang said with a smile.
He has also been annoyed by the Kuomintang recently, and finally donated a sum of money to get rid of those difficult guys. Interestingly, the Kuomintang did not want a revolution by force, but a revolution of money, and to be precise, they wanted to use these precious funds to invest in business, use money to make money, and seek funds for the revolution.
Li Yutang suddenly interjected, which made everyone happy, they also had the same experience!
