The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 632 Yellow mud falls off the crotch
After Chen Zhengwei left, everyone was still sitting in the Chamber of Commerce.

"Everyone, if you have children or nephews, you should train them, but you also have to find a professional manager." Liang Yi Yue spoke, and everyone looked over.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Liang Yiyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying, "Master Wei said it once, you don't think Master Wei will say it a second time, do you?"

Everyone's heart suddenly trembled.

Although Chen Zhengwei is much easier to deal with now than before, no one has forgotten Chen Zhengwei's temper.

In the past year, Chen Zhengwei's status has become increasingly higher, and he has stopped paying attention to the little things around him.

However, anyone who thinks that Chen Zhengwei is soft-hearted and easy to bully will probably not survive for a few days.

"Thank you, Boss Liang, for the reminder!" Someone bowed and then asked:

“But what is a professional manager?”

"Those who help you run the company and deal with other people."

After discussing for a long time, the group decided to do as Chen Zhengwei said and hire some professional managers to help them deal with those foreigners.

Anyway, they earn a lot of money now and are not afraid of spending these things.

But it’s hard to find such professional managers among Chinese people, and if we hire foreigners, we’re afraid of being cheated by them.

They are still very vigilant and cautious towards foreigners.

"With Mr. Chen here, they dare not cheat us! There is no need for Mr. Chen to come forward in this matter, just find Mr. Rong." Lin Yuanshan said slowly.

"Also, I still need to ask Mr. Rong what to do recently."

To be honest, they were a little unsure of Chen Zhengwei's thoughts on this matter.

Can't understand.

But since Chen Zhengwei has spoken, they have to do it.

……

"A bunch of useless people." Chen Zhengwei left the Chamber of Commerce without saying a word and strolled to Rong Jiacai's casino.

It doesn’t matter how the casino business is doing, Rong Jiacai is just used to using it as his office.

Close to home and close to the theater.

"Brother Wei!" Several thugs squatting at the entrance of the casino quickly stood up after seeing Chen Zhengwei.

"Is the scholar up there?"

"exist!"

Chen Zhengwei entered the casino. It was only the afternoon and there were already quite a few people there, including quite a few foreigners.

After all, in San Francisco today, Chinatown has the most casinos and the most ways to play.

Nowadays, casinos employ many Chinese people who can speak English.

Many of the foreigners who come to Chinatown to play will play a few games in the casino to join in the fun.

"Weige!"

"Mr. Chen!"

Chen Zhengwei nodded all the way upstairs and saw the henchmen outside the door: "Is the scholar not doing anything shameful in there?"

"Sister-in-law is not in there." The man said immediately, and the sister-in-law here refers to the scholar's wife.

But he still knocked on the door a few times.

"You said it, I didn't say that." Chen Zhengwei laughed and then pushed the door open.

"Brother Wei, how come you have the time to come here?" Xiucai was looking at the account book in his hand. When he saw Chen Zhengwei come in, he quickly stood up.

"I'm just wandering around when I'm free. I just went to the Chamber of Commerce and found that those old guys are useless and hopeless." Chen Zhengwei walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine.

"Why is this wine still here?" Chen Zhengwei looked at the wine bottle and felt it looked familiar.

"We have changed the batch. The previous batch was drunk by Ah Hu and his friends. But we still changed the batch according to the original batch." After the scholar explained, he asked, "How did they offend Brother Wei?"

Chen Zhengwei poured himself a glass of wine, then collapsed on the sofa and told the story again.

"I want them to expand their business, not to shrink it."

"What is this business? Is it their little tricks? It's the influence of Chinese people abroad! It's the image of Chinese people abroad."

"When they look at the way they are, others think that this is how Chinese people are."

"If this continues for a while, let them do business honestly in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and don't even go to Panama."

After listening to this, Xiucai thought for a moment and nodded: "Brother Wei is right! These people really can't keep up with the times. I will talk to them later. If they still can't do it well, they should not go out. Going out will only hinder us."

"We still have to rely on the young people! The ones in school will be much better when they grow up."

"I have achieved this status, but to expand the influence and image of the Chinese, we still have to rely on those who go abroad!" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips.

I'm too lazy to say more about those people.

Just like he said, if you can't do it well again, don't leave and find a new group of people.

"Brother Wei, you came at the right time. There was a telegram from Hong Kong saying that they had met Zhang Shusheng's nephew. However, there has been no movement after seven days. It seems that the other party has refused." After Rong Jiacai kept this in mind, he changed the subject.

"Refuse? Do you think this is a loyal dog or a cautious person?" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

He didn't know much about Zhang Shusheng, he just heard a little about him from hearsay.

This person is considered a reformist, but a moderate reformer.

But given the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, are there really so many loyal dogs?
"No matter if he is a loyal dog or cautious, he can't refuse this matter just because he wants to." Chen Zhengwei said playfully.

"I don't believe that all those admirals and lieutenant generals are so careful."

“Even if those people are careful, are their families also careful?”

"Find a way to establish a relationship with the officials in Guangzhou and curry their favor! If you can't establish a relationship with them, establish a relationship with their family and friends. Arrange a group of people to eat, drink and have fun with them. Other than that, you don't need to say or do anything else."

"We'll ship a batch of guns and ammunition over in a few days. If they don't want to buy them, we'll give them away! As long as they take their hands, they won't be able to explain this matter!"

"If that doesn't work, just put it in their house."

"They said it was given to them by someone else. Do you think those people in the capital believe it? Do you think that old man in the West Palace believes it?"

"Brother Wei, when the yellow mud falls into your crotch, it will be shit if not shit!" said the scholar on the side.

"If they don't rebel, force them to rebel!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Ever since the Taiping Rebellion and the Ma Assassination Case, the Qing government has been wary of local forces in the south. So it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or not! They have to protect themselves in the end!" Chen Zhengwei said slowly.

He doesn't need to know what each person's personality is like, he just needs to know the current situation in the Qing Dynasty.

Besides, the Qing Dynasty has only been around for a few years, so officials who can become provincial governors may not be unable to see it.

He is the best among hundreds of millions of people.

His vision and insight are extraordinary.

The rise and fall of dynasties has been going on in China for many years.

How could those people not understand?
"It seems that the matter of rescuing the people still depends on the American minister! Send a telegram to the White House and urge them again!" Chen Zhengwei said.

He actually didn't take this matter too seriously, he just couldn't bear it for the sake of face.

Even if someone really dies in prison, then let him die.

It also gave me an excuse to lose my temper.

"But you must let Chen Fenglu stay in Hong Kong and be careful!" Chen Zhengwei reminded again.

Rong Zeye is actually not important. He just deals with the gang leaders behind those piggy boats.

What really matters is Chen Fenglu.

He was in charge of the business of sending money from the Chinese in Chinatown to their hometowns. If he was caught, the Qing court would be able to follow him to find the homes of Chen Zhengwei's men.

"Kowloon South is a British territory, and the Qing court cannot arrest people there. The British should still give us some face!" Rong Jiacai nodded. As long as Chen Fenglu does not leave Kowloon, the Qing court cannot arrest him.

What's more, Chen Fenglu has a group of gunmen around him.

……

Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, a group of Chinese people are carrying a coffin and blocking a textile factory.

"Let the boss come out!"

"Give us an explanation!"

"Let the boss come out!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Today, Hong Kong Island and South Kowloon have been ceded to Britain by the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese here have low wages and extremely harsh living conditions.

If it were just this, the Chinese would just endure it, as long as they could have a job and survive.

But the person who was fine yesterday morning "accidentally fell to death" in the factory yesterday afternoon.

If the family hadn't gone to look for him, they wouldn't have known that he was dead.

Still a young girl.

This inevitably makes people speculate.

In addition, the girl's family had some connections with the community, so a lot of people gathered to attack the factory and demand an explanation.

However, an hour later, the owner of the textile factory did not show up, so these people rushed into the textile factory angrily.

However, at this time, the British police appeared, directly suppressed the chaos, and put some of the leaders in jail.

……

Blind Zhong was in a massage parlor, massaging someone's arms.

"Go home and take good care of your arm these days. Don't move your arm." Blind Zhong kneaded the child and gave instructions.

"It's much better now! How can I not move my arm? My family needs to eat." The other person raised his arm. Although it was still badly swollen, at least he could lift it up.

As soon as we finished our work here, the thugs rushed in.

"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong!"

Blind Zhong gave the other person a look...even though the other person couldn't see it at all.

Blind loyalty does not mean that he is blind, but that his eyes are just slits most of the time and he cannot see at all.

"I'm going out for a while!" Blind Zhong washed his hands in the basin beside him, then said hello and went out.

This shop belongs to his mother, who is a famous bonesetter. He usually comes to help.

"Brother Zhong, something happened. Shorty Zhou, Chicken-footed Hua and others were arrested." Ma Zai said a little anxiously.

"What's going on?" Blind Zhong was suddenly surprised.

"Those British guys are such inhumane guys! Shorty Zhou's sister died in the factory last night! Today they gathered a group of people to ask for an explanation, but the other party didn't show up, so they rushed in... and then the police came." The henchman said quickly.

"Those Brits must have done it on purpose!"

"Did you break anything?"

"A lot of equipment was smashed..."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Blind Zhong said angrily.

Shorty Zhou is not his subordinate, but they have a good relationship.

Rather than calling themselves a society, these people were more like a group that kept each other warm. Now that Shorty Zhou was in trouble, he would definitely help.

"Now Zhou Xiaomei's body hasn't been buried yet, and Shorty Zhou has been arrested again... Now there's only my mother left in Zhou's family, crying all the time. It's pitiful to see her..." said the henchman.

"Think of a way to get the person out first!" Blind Zhong said after thinking for a while.

Then Blind Zhong ran away with his men.

"Unless they compensate the factory for its losses, six thousand silver dollars, the police won't release them!"

Everyone who got the news started cursing.

"The things that were destroyed in that broken factory are worth six thousand silver dollars? And where can we get six thousand silver dollars? If it's sixty silver dollars, maybe we can scrape together the money."

"Those foreigners did it on purpose. Little Sister Zhou died in the factory, and they were afraid that Shorty Zhou would take revenge after he got out, so they wanted to send him to jail."

"If they don't let us go, we'll make a bigger fuss! We've had enough of this place anyway. Those foreigners don't treat us as human beings at all. Let's make a bigger fuss and let them know that we're not easy to bully!" someone said immediately.

"How to make a fuss? It's okay if it's a small one, but if it gets bigger, they all have guns..." Someone objected immediately.

There was a conflict between the Chinese and the British before, and then a quarrel broke out.

The British directly dispatched troops to open fire and killed several people.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way!" Blind Zhong frowned and thought hard.

"Brother Zhong, there's no time to think. Shorty Zhou's people are now discussing how to cause trouble!"

"Go appease them first!" Blind Zhong was also troubled after hearing this, and stood up to appease Shorty Zhou's men: "Don't be impulsive, I know someone who can think of a solution."

"It depends on whether the other party is willing to help."

"Brother Zhong, who are you talking about?" others asked immediately.

"Do you remember some Chinese people wearing foreign clothes in Kowloon?" Blind Zhong asked.

"You mean the ones with the braids cut off?"

"Yes, that's them! They can talk to the British and maybe they can help."

"Brother Zhong, do you know them?"

"We've dealt with each other twice!" said Blind Zhong.

The other party's people had come to their bone-setting clinic, and he had chatted with them. He knew that those people were Chinese Americans, and they were said to be doing well.

The next morning, Blind Zhong took people to find California International Trading Company.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a few men in gentleman's suits and with fierce temperaments sitting casually on chairs.

Blind Zhong felt that these people didn't look like businessmen at all.

But now I have to ask for help from others, so I have to bite the bullet.

"Excuse me, is your boss here? Blind Zhong has something to visit."

"Are you Blind Zhong?" The other person looked him up and down. His eyes were just slits, just like a blind man.

After all, Chen Zhengwei's men have arrived in Hong Kong and they must find out the situation here.

Blind Zhong is the local tyrant here.

There are more than a dozen people like Blind Zhong.

"What do you want from our boss?" the man asked nonchalantly. Although they knew the local situation well, they really looked down on these gangsters.

They are not the same kind of people at all.

They play with guns.

"There is one important thing I want to ask to see Boss Chen!" Blind Zhong said solemnly.

The other party thought about it for a while, then turned around and said, "Old Five, go see if Uncle Lu has gotten up!"

The other young man grabbed the hat, put it on his head, and walked out in a swagger.

"Brother Zhong, these people don't look like they are doing business!" The henchman whispered in Blind Zhong's ear.

Blind Zhong glanced at him, motioned him to shut up, then smiled and chatted with several people in the store.
