Chapter 37 Siping start (5)
How to make Governor He understand the goodwill of the Chamber of Commerce gave the leading figures in the Yongchang Chamber of Commerce a headache. While everyone was discussing, a young voice suddenly said, "Uncles and uncles, my nephew has something to ask."
Hearing this voice, everyone turned around in displeasure and saw the young man at the bottom eager to express his thoughts.
This young man's name is Wu Youping, and his father Wu Qingshan is the third person in the chamber of commerce. Boss Wu Qingshan has only one son, so there is no competition to inherit the family property. According to the seating arrangement, he should have been sitting in the third position.
It’s just that Boss Wu recently contracted a cold and was bedridden. Wu Youping was ordered to replace his father, Boss Wu Qingshan, at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. Wu Youping was a young boy, and Wu Qingshan’s seat was vacant, so he had to sit at the bottom.
But this is not the reason why Wu Youping is disliked by others. Everyone hates this guy because he talks all the exaggerated and vain nonsense of a scholar, and he soon became disliked in the Chamber of Commerce.
President Zhou Yongchang asked patiently: "Youping, what do you want to ask?"
Wu Youping stood up and said calmly: "It is our dream not to be blackmailed by the governor. Why do you uncles and uncles not be able to bear it if we do encounter it?"
The expressions on the faces of all the chamber of commerce staff were even more grim. Wu Qingshan’s family owned a thousand seedlings. Boss Wu cherished this single seedling very much and spent a lot of money to let him study. After Wu Youping graduated from Tianjin Middle School, he was admitted to Tangshan Road and Mine School.
But he didn’t want to be an official, let alone learn how to do business. He just randomly handed over to some crazy people from Beijing and Tianjin. Boss Wu had no choice but to wait for him to graduate and immediately sent his servants to take this guy back to Siping forcibly and strictly control him.
.
At this time, they heard that Wu You was talking nonsense again, and everyone was too lazy to pay attention to him.
President Zhou Yongchang felt very embarrassed. He didn’t know whether he should tell the cruel reality that even children understand. It’s not that President Zhou doesn’t dare to face the cruelty in the world, but he is worried that after speaking out, Wu Youping will not only not listen.
, I need to talk about some fallacy again.
If it were a peaceful and prosperous time now, businessmen would only be polite to officials. Who would really try their best to give their hard-earned money to those military leaders who are angry with them.
Looking at He Rui's means of seizing Siping, it is not the way to go in a peaceful and prosperous age. Unlike Wu Youping, who is full of stupid ideas of a scholar, He Rui is shrewd and ruthless, and is undoubtedly the devil in troubled times. At this time, he will not accept the solicitation of businessmen.
This means that He Rui will never show mercy when he attacks businessmen.
President Zhou was thinking about how to send someone to persuade Wu Qingshan, Boss Wu, to persuade his stupid son to go home and not come out to embarrass Boss Wu, let alone cause trouble to everyone. The servant ran in again and whispered in President Zhou's ear
He whispered: "President, Governor He ordered people from the police station to go out, and suddenly more than 40 people were arrested."
He Rui took action again! Chairman Zhou's heartbeat accelerated, and he felt that his prediction had been verified again.
If there was anything that exceeded Chairman Zhou's imagination, it was that He Rui started without hesitation, a few days earlier than Chairman Zhou thought.
Looking at Wu Youping in front of him, Chairman Zhou felt even more annoyed, so he smiled and said, "In that case, what do nephew Wu Xian have in mind?"
Wu Youping replied: "My uncles and nephews think that instead of giving money to Governor He, we should openly ask Governor He about his future plans for Siping. The Chamber of Commerce has business all over the customs and there are so many things it can do. If you really want to
If you have made a contribution, what kind of projects will Governor He want to do in the future? Even if you don't make enough money, you will continue to complete it well. When everyone makes money, it will also appear that Governor He has a good understanding of people. Isn't it a hundred times more honorable than giving money?
"
The Chamber of Commerce fell into silence, and a moment later a burst of laughter broke out. It was laughter amused by the ridiculous remarks. Several people smiled and had malicious looks on their faces, and they were about to curse.
Unpleasant words.
Chairman Zhou stood up, walked to Wu Youping, and took Wu Youping's hand cordially, "My dear nephew, you are ambitious. Since you took the initiative to ask for help, now I ask you to go and see Governor He."
With that said, President Zhou kindly put his arm around Wu Youping's shoulders and took him to the entrance of the chamber of commerce. When Wu Youping set off, he also kindly patted Wu Youping on the shoulder and encouraged him.
After returning to the outside of the meeting hall, President Zhou called his right-hand man who had been in the meeting hall and asked loudly: "Did you hear what Mr. Wu just said?"
"President, my subordinates heard this."
"Since you heard it, tell Boss Wu exactly what you said. Also, tell Boss Wu about Master Wu's meeting with Governor He. Go ahead."
"Yes!" President Zhou's men followed the order and left.
Chairman Zhou told everyone about He Rui's cleanup of the police station. Someone immediately said: "He selected new tax collectors from reliable local people in Siping to replace the old tax collectors. The police regiment was disbanded by He Rui, and the bank
The treasury is completely in the hands of He Rui, and the tax is also controlled by He Rui. Now the police station has also been liquidated, and I'm afraid we will be next."
Hearing this, a leading member of the Chamber of Commerce asked uneasily: "President, just now Wu Youping went to see Governor He. If he offended Governor He, what should we do if Governor He blames him?"
President Zhou laughed, but there was no smile on his face, "Administrator He is so generous, how can he blame me?"
As he said this, President Zhou was thinking in his heart. Wu Youping went to offend He Rui, and the Wu family was taken care of by He Rui, which would indeed be bad for the Chamber of Commerce. But the Chamber of Commerce has never seen any big storms and can handle it.
And when you are unlucky, there is also an opportunity. Taking this opportunity, you can find out what He Rui really wants. As for the Wu family, I can only say that their family is unfortunate and they have such a rebellious son.
Here, Wu Youping did not go directly to He Rui's headquarters. He ran home first and changed into the student uniform from Tangshan Road Mine School. He put on his schoolbag and arrived at Wu Qingshan's house, "Dad, I'm ready.
Let’s go see Governor He now.”
While he was talking, a servant came to inform him, "Sir, people from the Chamber of Commerce are here."
Wu Youping went to the side room first and listened to the people from the Chamber of Commerce explain what he had said at the Chamber of Commerce. His father sent away the people sent by the Chamber of Commerce. Then he returned to his father.
Wu Qingshan did not mention what the Chamber of Commerce had just said, and asked directly: "Are you sure that Governor He is really a man who saves the country and the people? I think he is very ambitious and has colluded with the Japanese."
"No. He Dujun wrote the book "Japan's Destiny", which tells the story of Japan's past and future. From what his son has seen, He Dujun has already seen through Japan, how could he defect to that country with no future."
When Wu Qingshan heard this, he sighed. He had joined the Tongmenghui in his early years and met many people. Naturally, everyone was talking about saving the country and the people earlier, but the current situation changed and his true colors were immediately revealed.
Wu Qingshan had already expected the result of what his son said in the chamber of commerce this time. The reason why he still asked his son to say it was because he wanted his son to see people's hearts more and not to be too emotional. Based on Wu Qingshan's plan, he wanted to wait for a while,
Let’s talk about He Rui after observing his words and deeds more carefully.
Wu Youping saw his father's hesitation and said: "Dad, my classmate Hu Xiushan is a decent man, but he comes from a humble background and is unwilling to make shocking remarks. Since he is willing to follow Governor He to go outside the customs, it must be because Governor He really has
With the intention of saving the country and the people. Besides, the writing is like the person. He Dujun's book is clear, straightforward and sincere. It is impossible for someone with ulterior motives to write it. As for He Dujun's methods, it depends on these leading figures in the chamber of commerce and reasoning with them.
Can they understand it?"
Looking at his energetic son in student uniform, Wu Qingshan sighed: "Go ahead. Be careful. By the way, I just got the news that Governor He cleaned up the police station and should not be at the Governor's Mansion now. Just wait at the door.
Chapter completed!
