This time, when Sui Shiqing saw Zhao Zhenzhong visiting and personally entertaining him, she was very enthusiastic. After the greetings, Zhao Zhenzhong explained his purpose. Sui Shiqing heard that Zhao Zhenzhong was coming to mention the improvement of the treatment of industrial workers in the four seas. Although he was a little hesitant, he still agreed.

After listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's analysis of pros and cons, Sui Shiqing also knew that the Sihai Restaurant's business was really booming. If the treatment of chefs and other workers could not keep up, several other famous restaurants in Qingdao would have been staring at each other and wanted to poach. As for the Nanyao, Sui Shiqing did not have a factory shareholding, so he couldn't speak.

After talking about Sihai Industrial, Zhao Zhenzhong reminded again: "Mr. Sui also pays attention to the situation of workers in his industry. From around the Spring Festival to now, only the workers in Sifang Machinery Factory have gone on strike twice. And I heard that the Sun Party in the South has also established an executive committee in Qingdao, so we should be wary of them urging workers to make trouble on the pretext of increasing treatment. Besides, instead of when they make trouble, we are forced to agree to the conditions, it is better for us to take the lead in improving the treatment of workers, so that we can comfort workers without giving them excuses."

Sui Shiqing was originally a little unhappy when he heard Zhao Zhenzhong talk about his factory, but he didn't say it, and he blamed him for not knowing the importance of his youth and interfering in other people's affairs so recklessly. But after hearing what Zhao Zhenzhong said, he felt it made sense. So he spoke, "I am young, but I can see far. I can't compare with this vision. Do you have any suggestions for me?"

"If you want to give me suggestions, I really have two. I'm afraid that Mr. Sui will blame me for being troubled if he hears it." Zhao Zhenzhong took a sip of tea, but stopped talking.

"My little brother, please say something. It's hard to say anything else. Is it a stake? Sui still thinks he is a bit more serious."

"I saw an article in the newspaper that disclosed the conflict between Yanmin and Yongyu Salt Industry Company two days ago, and also called on the Qingdao Chamber of Commerce to intervene in the matter. However, I personally think Mr. Sui is better not to intervene in this matter."

After the Japanese evacuated, the Chinese government bid for the trading office of Yongyu Salt Industry Company. Sui Shiqing and Qingdao's Yangzhou Gang boss Ding Jingchen and others participated in the bid. As a result, Ding Jingchen won the bid for Yongyu Salt Field, and Sui Shiqing failed to gain any benefits. In addition, some conflicts arising from commercial competition in Qingdao were even more intensified. During this salt-minded storm, Sui Shiqing was going to encourage the salt-minded people to petition in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. Now, listening to Zhao Zhenzhong's persuasion, he felt a little unhappy. He put down the teacup in his hand. Sui Shiqing asked: "Can you tell me the reason for not participating?"

"Mr. Sui is now a leader in the business world in Qingdao, an advocate and school director of Qingdao University. If he participates in this incident, it will inevitably damage Mr. Sui's reputation. Moreover, if the salt people take to the streets to march, Mr. Sui asks himself if he can control the angry salt people? If it is a bad thing and causes a big mess, can Mr. Sui get rid of the relationship?" Seeing the change of Sui Shiqing's expression on his face, Zhao Zhenzhong added some more information: "Mr. Sui, don't forget that many examples of people gathering and causing trouble in Shandong in the past few decades, especially Yihequan. At the beginning, it was just the people who were resentful of foreign priests' oppression, but what was the final result?"

Sui Shiqing disagreed at first, but now she was sweating coldly. When she stood up, Sui Shiqing bowed to Zhao Zhenzhong solemnly, "Thank you for your reminder, brother. Otherwise, if someone Sui doesn't do it well, he will really cause big trouble."

"Haha, I don't think Mr. Sui's courtesy." Zhao Zhenzhong hurriedly stood up and gave in modesty. Then he said: "There is another thing that needs Mr. Sui's attention."

"Little brother, please speak."

"When Mr. Sui took back Qingdao, he was famous for entering the bandit cave to safeguard national interests. Everyone praised Mr. Sui for his courage to fight against bandits supported by the Japanese. But now Mr. Sui has something but does not do well enough, and may even cause trouble in the future."

Before Sui Shiqing asked, Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "Qingdao and the nearby areas are full of Japanese goods. Although Japanese goods are cheap, it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce. I was willing to buy and sell, but it was just commercial transactions, which was nothing. But the Japanese are different. Seeing that they are now opening so many factories in Qingdao, they are trying hard to squeeze workers, and the wave of workers strikes in Qingdao is gradually heating up. If a large-scale anti-Japanese strike occurs in the future, what will happen to these merchants who operate Japanese goods?"

"But the Chamber of Commerce is just an organization with a guild self-discipline, and it is impossible for it to interfere with the normal operation of many merchants." Sui Shiqing defended.

"Mr. Sui just needs to remind everyone not to put eggs in one basket. As long as Mr. Sui sets an example, less Japanese goods or even no Japanese goods, it will not only further improve his reputation, but also not reduce his commercial profits. Why not?" Zhao Zhenzhong immediately added an example to illustrate, "We all look down on Liu Zishan's drug lord, but I admire the old fox's vision. Has Mr. Sui heard that Liu Zishan now set up a domestic product company that boycotts Japanese goods on the second and third floors of Donglai Bank he opened?"

"This is a little heard of, but many people in the chamber of commerce think it was just his temporary invitation to fame."

"But I think this old fox has vision. He has noticed something from the several strikes of workers in Qingdao and some radical ideas that have spread. This is also one of the reasons why I advised Mr. Sui to give up Japanese goods."

"Thank you for your advice from my little brother. Sui will definitely make corresponding treatment as soon as possible."

After returning to Nan Kiln from Sui Shiqing, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao were a little puzzled by Zhao Zhenzhong's enthusiasm for helping Sui Shiqing.

"Although Sui Shiqing is a successful businessman now, he is naturally willing to be revenge and has a chivalrous spirit. He can see some of his heart by entering the bandit cave. However, his ending was bleak due to several things in history. One is the current turmoil in the salt people. He incited the salt people to petition for a march because of his voluntary dispute with Ding Jingchen at Yongyu Salt Industry Company. However, the salt people beat Ding Jingchen in anger, which made Sui Shiqing go to court, which both paid off the silver and reputation."

"The second wrong thing is also a struggle of intention. In history, after the workers of Japanese yarn mills in Qingdao went on strike, all walks of life boycotted Japanese goods. Sui Shiqing also asked merchants not to sell Japanese goods in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, but the strike and march teams demanded that some small and medium-sized businesses lose heavy losses. Although Sui Shiqing, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, could not make such a request. Therefore, he was criticized by Qingdao reporter Hu Xinzhi in the newspaper at that time. When Japan colluded with Zhang Zongchang to suppress the strike workers, Sui Shiqing advised Zhang Zongchang because of his grudges and entanglement with Hu Xinzhi, and Hu Xinzhi was killed."

"Hu Xinzhi is a member of the Southern Sun Party. He was originally the editor-in-chief of Sui Shiqing's founding Qingdao Morning News. However, in just one year, he was warned by the Qingdao authorities for promoting radical ideas. Sui Shiqing had no choice but to stop running the newspaper. Later, Hu Xinzhi founded a newspaper himself and criticized Sui Shiqing in the newspaper, which led to the outbreak of conflicts between Sui Shiqing and Hu Xinzhi."

"However, Sui Shiqing is very strong. During the rule of the National Government, he was investigated for his involvement in Hu Xinzhi's murder. In the end, Qing hid in the business world and was idle at home. In 1938, the Japanese army landed in Qingdao again and asked him to come out. He refused and refused to be a traitor. Soon after, news of his sudden death was reported. He was only 49 years old at that time, and in his prime. Compared with him, his rival Ding Jingchen, who was willing to be a lackey for the Japanese and became a famous traitor in Qingdao. Although there is no evidence, I guess that Sui Shiqing's death is probably the tampered by Ding Jingchen's collusion with the Japanese."

"And Liu Quanfa, the brother-in-law of Sui Shiqing, was the principal of Lixian School at that time. In the face of the Japanese's enlistment and temptation, he was unmoved and tried hard to maintain Lixian School. He even did not receive a penny of salary for 30 years until he left the principal's position due to illness in 1953."

"It is precisely because I have learned about the actions and character of Sui Shiqing and Liu Quanfa from the original history that I have tried my best to help Sui Shiqing. I hope that his original ups and downs can change his original ups and downs, which will not only enable us to have many patriotic and national allies in the future, but also help us carry out the disaster relief matters we are preparing for now."

"Old Zhao, it should be normal for more rain in summer. You are nervous after only a few days?"

"In this era, there is no satellite cloud map that can make accurate judgments in advance, but those experienced old farmers and fishermen who go out to sea to fish all year round can predict with their experience. Two days ago, the master and Boss Lin all specifically reminded that the rainfall will not be light. I want everyone to prepare more materials in advance, which is also considered a preventive measure." Zhao Zhenzhong looked at the sky outside, which was still covered with dark clouds, and was a little worried.

"Xiaohao, you forgot that there is no water conservancy system in this era. Once there is continuous precipitation, it may lead to floods and the Yellow River may also be flooded. In addition, the government does not care about the lives and deaths of the people, so it is appropriate to make some preparations in advance." Zhou Tian reminded him, and then told Zhao Zhenzhong: "In addition, the summer grain harvest is bumper, and the grain we have now reserved is enough to supply 5,000 people with annual consumption, so you don't have to worry about eating. You have also prepared some emergency medicines, namely cloth and cotton are still being purchased."

"Sister, we are preparing so much to deal with this possible flood?" Zhou Hao was a little surprised.

"I asked for reserves of these materials. They were originally intended to be used to rescue a large number of refugees caused by the Zhifeng War in the second half of this year. I didn't expect that they might be used now." Zhao Zhenzhong sighed and explained with some depression.

"Old Zhao, when you went to blackmail, didn't you remind Liu Menggen to beware of Feng's surname? Wouldn't there be any change in the slightest?"

"It probably doesn't work much. In history, before the Second Zhifeng War, many people had reminded Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, but Cao Kun didn't believe that Feng Yuxiang would betray him."

Thinking of the more chaotic situation in the country after the Zhifeng War, the three of them couldn't help feeling a little sad.
