Chapter 10 All Princes
The Xidi is very large and small at the same time.
Not long after Jiachang put down the phone, the phone ringing went off one after another. In just half an hour, he received more than twenty calls one after another.
He has a family family, a childhood playmate, a fellow Chaozhou villager, a classmate or school. One is passed down to ten, ten is passed down to hundreds, and even a "brother-in-law" who has not met in more than ten years. Wu Jingchen, the eldest son of Wu Dayuan, a wealthy businessman from Fujian, called, and I don't know which big mouth that was afraid that the world will not be confused.
Ma Anyi, the second son of Chaozhou Gangma Guoxuan, was the most active. He had not decided where to put the party yet and ran over. His house was just opposite, and he was really close to him.
"Cousin, don't worry. Whoever cares about food and drink now, I'll just look at the house."
That night, the man in front of him went to Betant Bridge with his father. After being taken home, he helped to hire a doctor and kept going until the early morning to go back to rest.
Li Weimin was very grateful and turned his head to look at Chen Ma who had gone out after the tea, and mysteriously came to his ear: "An Yi, there are some things that are inconvenient to say at home."
Swallowing his anger is to make money, and it is rare to be bullied by Pingchuan soldiers like this. Chaozhou people are brave and cruel, and they will revenge if they have any grudges. Ma Anyi directly thinks that he wants to take revenge.
What's so great about Qiu Ba? It's not about dealing with "Qiyuan". The firearms are rampant in Xidi, and some are outlaws, and tens of thousands of Piasts can buy their lives.
Ma Anyi nodded slightly and said with understanding: "If you are not convenient at home, go to the theater. The head of the Hong Kong Red Star Cantonese Opera Troupe, the Hong Kong Red Line Girl, is performing in Xintongqing. The poor Vietnamese cannot understand and cannot afford tickets. They usually don't go there. If they really can't do it, they can book a venue."
Listening to Cantonese and talking about business is interesting.
Moreover, the Red Line Girl is so famous that she created the Red School Cantonese opera singing style and a true art master. Later Hong Kong star Eason Chan took a photo with her and half-kneeled to show her respect for her predecessor.
Since there is this opportunity to "chase stars", Li Weimin will naturally not miss it. After Liu Jiachang once notified the location, he walked to the once lively Xintongqing Cantonese Opera Theater.
The times are progressing and society is developing.
As the movie appears, drama gradually declines, and those who come to support the audience are older Cantonese opera fans, and young people all go to cinemas such as "Great Light", "Entertainment", "Lido", and "Victory".
"A River of Spring Water Flows East" premiered at Da Guangming Theater for more than a dozen shows a day, and it was released for two months. It was filled with crowds and full, setting off a wave of watching Mandarin movies. Even Chinese schools in remote rural and urban areas in South Vietnam took turns to watch Bai Yang and Tao Jin.
There are fewer and fewer drama fans and business is difficult.
The eldest young master of the Li family and the second young master of the Ma family like Cantonese opera and even asked to book a venue. Boss Wang was so happy that he hurriedly asked someone to serve tea and snacks.
"For the people, I didn't expect you to be so elegant. If you come late, don't mind."
The first guest just sat down at the table, and several guests followed one after another. One looked at his face carefully and saw whether the injury was serious. The other laughed and said, "It is easy to change the country and nature are hard to change. After so many years, we are almost starting a family and becoming a groom. We are still so impulsive and so strong."
I have come back twice during my studies in the United States. Every time I come back, there are parties. They have not changed a lot and can easily meet the number. Li Weimin greeted them and sat down, and smiled and said, "Chang Ming, Hongxin, stop making trouble, sit down and have tea."
Wu Changming, the eldest son of the Wu family, greeted Ma Anyi and Guo Jianzhang, shook his head and smiled, "For the people, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future, and you should celebrate. Drinking alcohol is almost the same, what is drinking tea?"
"Yes, it's not good to go wherever you go, what kind of play to listen to?"
"I will take a boat to Hong Kong at night, and take a plane to the United States the day after tomorrow. I can't drink. When I come back from the United States, I will stay drunk with you until I get drunk."
"Go to the United States again?"
Before Li Weimin could speak, another group of guests arrived, including the eldest son of the Xu family, the second son of the Lin family, and the future heir of the Huang family... The young master of the "Steel King" family, the successor of the "Rice King", and the heart of the "Rubber King", including the young master Li who was treating him, almost all came from the "prince".
If "Qiyuan" sends people to kidnap them together, the embankment will definitely be in trouble.
When people are in the theater, you must not have any accidents. If something happens, you will never want to live. Boss Wang was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He no longer had to flatter him, so he hurried to the door to look at the wind.
Ma Anyi stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, since you come, you can rest assured. My brother-in-law didn't say anything. Stop talking nonsense and listen to the opera!"
"Yes, yes, listen to the opera, and speak while listening."
With a drumbeat, a full-made flower actress walked onto the stage from the side and sang: "Selling lychees, there is a red quilt outside, a thin gauze and a thin jade ball of jade. The mouth is sweet and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant in the world. What, but I'm doing a trick, please try something new, I'll tell you. This is the best lychees in Lingnan, the king of fruits, everyone is willing to..."
The song "Ode to Lychee" seems to be integrated into Beijing accent, Kun accent and Western bel canto techniques. It is as loud as flowing clouds and water, sweet, and has a heart-warming and very flavorful. As the saying goes, "sweet and crisp".
Ma Anyi, Wu Changming and other second-generation ancestors shook their heads when they heard this, and they seemed to like Cantonese opera. The eldest young master of the Guo family really liked it, and even hummed with an intoxicated look on his face.
Wu Jingchen is the only Minnan among them. He has a special status and is arranged by Ma Anyi to be with his future brother-in-law.
He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and said as if nothing had happened: "For the people, you can't be so impulsive anymore. Lijun was almost scared to death. I heard that you were captured by Qiyuan and hid in the room and cried for an afternoon."
If the statistics of the Chinese Council are not very different, 3% of Chinese control over 80% of the wealth of all Chinese in Vietnam. Those who can sit here can be said to be part of the 3%. In the near future, they will become a new generation of overseas Chinese leaders and become the richest people in Xiti.
They are the targets they must fight for, not to mention that they have an extraordinary relationship with the one around them. Li Weimin took a deep breath and asked, "Brother, are Lijun okay?"
Wu Jingchen glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "I haven't had a letter or a phone call in these years. I've come back several times and never seen each other. Can she be well?"
Perhaps living in America where freedom has been too long, Li Weimin was extremely disgusted with arranged marriages. He was so cold that he was even ashamed of several years. He did make the little girl who was sensible after she was ready to marry into the Li family and began to be a bride.
Facing the questioning of his elder brother-in-law, Li Weimin was embarrassed and hesitated for a while before saying angrily: "I'm sorry, I was not very sensible before, which disappointed my elder brother and Lijun."
"It's over with a word of sorry. I'm fine. The key is her. If you have a conscience, explain it to her."
There are also happy things in arranged marriages, isn’t it just about falling in love?
Li Weimin was living too much in his previous life. Whether in career or emotional matters, he was not disgusted with such a family marriage. He just felt that the other party was a little small, so he picked up the cup and smiled at Master Xu, and said quietly: "Go and give her a surprise when you finish your work."
The prodigal son turned around and the gold was not changed. Wu Jingchen nodded with satisfaction: "This is almost the same. If you don't go, I really think you have changed your mind and want to be Chen Shimei."
Like Liu Jiachang, Ma Anyi shook his head on the surface, but in fact he was paying attention to their every move. Seeing that the two of them did not turn against Wu Lijun's affairs, he suddenly turned around and said, "I want to tell everyone about something for the people and I want to ask everyone for help. What's our relationship? It's either relatives or family friends for generations. His business is our business, do you think so?"
"Yes, for the people, just say anything."
"You don't have to be polite as we are, you're not outsiders." Wu Changming, like Ma Anyi, thought he was going to deal with those Pingchuan scoundrels, and subconsciously looked back, fearing that there would be ears in the wall.
"Then I'll just say it."
He had to take a boat to Hong Kong at night, and there was not so much time to delay. Li Weimin turned around and smiled, "Everyone, there is an opportunity to make a lot of money in front of him. Unfortunately, the old man is too rigid and dare not take risks. As for me, I don't have much capital, so I can only talk to you brothers."
Ma Anyi was stunned and asked in surprise: "Aren't you dealing with those bastards?"
"Now, aren't you telling everyone that I did it? A gentleman takes revenge and it's not too late for ten years. Keep this account first, wait for the news and wait until the young master is ready, and be as good as them."
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
The "Qianyuan" has great power, with sixteen battalions of troops under his command and controlling the Saigon police. Now he is revenge, shooting himself in the foot.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. No fool can sit here. They are all carefully trained by each family, received higher education, and will take over the big business in the future. Wu Jingchen has even been on his own. While assisting his father in running the family business, he also serves as a director of the Chinese Council. He is the youngest among the five representatives of the Fujian Gang.
My brother-in-law became wise after eating one. He knew that he would do something and not do anything. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and asked lightly: "How much do you lack?"
"Of course, the more capital the better. I only have 100,000 US dollars on hand, and I can only take out 50,000. The remaining 50,000 is of other use."
Wu Changming was impatient and asked excitedly, "What business can you make money?"
There are no outsiders here, Li Weimin introduced the plan in detail.
The risk is not big at a glance. No wonder the old man of his family may not agree. Not only Ma Anyi, but Wu Changming was not optimistic, and even Wu Jingchen backed down. He secretly wanted to give him 20,000 or 30,000 dollars, and if he pays, he will pay it, he will be wasted.
Seeing everyone's eyes glimpsing each other, Li Weimin simply pulled the tiger skin as a banner and said with a smile: "To be honest, I'm going to explore the way this time, helping the US government explore the way. If nothing unexpected happens, I can get into an official next time I come back and become an official in the US government. It's a rare opportunity. If I miss this village, I won't have this store."
The old man praised him all the time after he went back the day before yesterday, and insisted that he and his younger brother go around with him more. Besides, they are all people with identities, so he can't speak nonsense about this kind of thing.
Why can the rich Chinese overseas Chinese make a lot of money in Xiti? Isn’t it just relying on privileges and relationships with the French?
Wu Changming became active and asked anxiously: "For the people, you have the best grades when studying, so I knew you would have a great future. To be more specific, don't forget your brother if you have any chance to get rich."
"How to say, the US government is different from other governments. Many major events are entrusted to third parties, such as universities. Our University of Michigan has taken on a research project from the US State Department to study how to aid Vietnam. In a few months, our professors will lead a research team to Saigon as an official of the International Development Agency to determine the aid plan and supervise the implementation."
To stabilize the situation in Vietnam, we must first stabilize finance. The wealthy and powerful United States should be backed by Piast, and Piast will definitely not depreciate.
Wu Jingchen reacted like a sudden inspiration, weighed the pros and cons, and resolutely said: "For the people, I believe you. I will give you three days. Is there any more? I can still get 500,000 US dollars."
Five hundred thousand dollars is not a small number. According to the price of gold and purchasing power, it is equivalent to six or seven million dollars in later generations. He was the first to speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was 500,000, obviously trying to put something on his own and take the lead.
Li Weimin was very grateful and said seriously: "Brother, I will share the money you make equally. If you lose, I will all be my fault."
"Brothers settle the score clearly. Of course, if you make a profit, you have to share it equally, if you lose it, you have to share it equally."
"Yes, yes, there is no reason to just take advantage of it without losing it. For the people, I am just like you, and I don't have as much money as my brother-in-law. I can only think of a way to raise 50,000."
Ma Anyi followed closely behind, and the two of them took the lead and were out of control. At least 50,000 to hundreds of thousands. Liu Jiachang counted it and found that the eldest young master raised 4.6 million US dollars in just a few words!
Pulling a bunch of "princes" onto the pirate ship is just the beginning, and we must find ways to tie each other's interests together.
While greeting everyone for tea, Li Weimin laughed and said, "Everyone, now they are all shareholders. Let's think about the company name together. It is best to draft a company articles. For our common cause, I cannot show up. Please select a person in charge."
Only by colluding with officials and businessmen can he make a lot of money. He has to become an American official, otherwise how can he collude.
The more Ma Anyi thought about it, he became more and more excited. He looked at Wu Changming and smiled for granted: "The charter is turned back and slowly, so the head of the party will not need to be elected. I think Jiachang is the most suitable."
