Wu Tingyan persuaded Bao Da to come back together in Paris. Now, Bao Lu, the great uncle of the national group of dragons in Vietnam, can’t go. It is Pan Hui’s decree that he will not go out to act as Prime Minister.
There won’t be any danger before Wu Tingyan comes back. Li Min is not as nervous as they are. Sitting in the back row, the same day and Jiang Wenshui are laughing.
"Mr. Li, we know very well that no matter how hard we try, we can’t see immediate results. After all, the embankment has left a deep impression on people. Many people think that the embankment is a place to shelter evil people and shelter evil people. In fact, in the past hundred years, it has indeed been a crow’s nest, a prostitute’s courtyard and a gambling ground."
Ah Shui added with a look of frustration, "There are not a few rich and heartless Chinese businessmen, criminals and black sheep everywhere, and many small gangs have been formed by some unscrupulous and idle people. Although they are not as notorious as the Pingchuan Sect, the embankment has done no less bad things than the’ Seven Miles’."
Don’t say that the current embankment is just like Manhattan Chinatown in the future.
Li Min sighed and said, "Ah Shui, it’s very difficult for you to see these things. What’s more valuable is that you have not only seen them, but also tried to change this situation. I feel the same with you. The bank atmosphere is so bad that something must be done to change the overall image of our overseas Chinese."
He is the most influential young man on the bank-more importantly, he has money.
I don’t want to miss this precious opportunity and say with anticipation, "Mr. Li, since you agree with our views, on behalf of all the students of the Youth League, I sincerely invite you to be our honorary president."
"The title of president is not good and undemocratic, even if it is honorary, water. I suggest that you organize and set up a board of directors like a company to take charge of specific workers, and the chairman will be a director or honorary director like me. Later, we will do Ma Gong, Wu Gong and Guo Gong and pull them in so that our strength will be stronger and our influence will be greater."
His friends are the richest young people on the bank, and they are ecstatic and nodding. "What Mr. Li said is that we will set up the chairman of the board of directors instead of the chairman when we go back."
These children are very thoughtful and can’t be asked to do anything but guide them.
Li Min smiled and said, "Ah, I’m suggesting what kind of organizational structure to build and what kind of positions to set up, and you have to make up your own minds. By the way, since it is an organization, you need activities. I will donate 50 thousand piasters as an ordinary member first, and sometimes I will fight local tyrants like a communist."
Ma Anyi and Wu Chang have a lot of money, and we are not in vain. These money will be used as a cutting edge, such as doing public welfare or helping them change their image of being rich and heartless. "
He thought that the Federation would no longer be worried in the future, and Ah Shui couldn’t help laughing happily. "Mr. Li is right, we are not ourselves, but we have won nearly one million overseas Chinese on the bank."
"We must be justified in asking for money."
Li Min smiled and suddenly the conversation turned. "It’s easy to change the key. How can we make people willing to pay for it? I think it’s necessary to let people know that we are different from the Communist Party and the Kuomintang. At the same time, there is a qualitative difference between the five clubs. Otherwise, people might as well donate money to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party or to the club.
We should make it clear to others that we are not interested in * * as much as in the Three People’s Principles. We pursue realism. We don’t want to make any revolution. We want to save our lives, our relatives’ lives and our friends’ lives. After all, Beijing can’t help us, and Taiwan Province can’t resettle the embankment. It’s a million overseas Chinese in Vietnam. We can rely on ourselves! "
Tian said with emotion, "Teacher Qian thinks so, too."
"This means that our proposal can arouse everyone’s resonance. Today, please go to the city together. First, we want to communicate when we want to benefit the road. Second, considering that since it is a social organization, we have to meet a person. This person is very important. If we can get his support, the future activities of the Federation will be protected by the government."
The French and Vietnamese authorities have given overseas Chinese a certain degree of autonomy on the embankment. No matter what they do, the Chinese area on the embankment is nothing, and most of the embankments are overseas Chinese. No matter how they are publicized, the image of overseas Chinese can not be changed.
How to go out has been puzzling God. When I learned the true meaning of this trip, I suddenly asked, "Mr. Li, you have always thought that we have been trying to help us?"
"I’m not focused on helping, let alone not being a member. Maybe there will be a director in the future. Besides, the Federation is for everyone, overseas Chinese on the bank. These are what I should do."
Chapter 25 Mrs Zhen
Catina Street, about one kilometer long from the side of the Catholic Church on the riverbank in Sai Kung, has always been the most prosperous downtown street in Sai Kung. The street is not wide, and only three lanes can barely be used for two-way traffic.
Tree-lined French cafes on both sides of the street sell expensive imported shops everywhere.
Saigon’s oldest and most luxurious streets, the Queen Hotel, the Sailing Hotel and the Continental Hotel, can be accommodated in these three hotels. Most of them are politicians and business celebrities, but the war situation is unfavorable.
Near the destination, Ding Maocai suddenly stepped on the brakes and looked at the western-style five-story building on the left and said, "Master Liu asked me to ask you how to bring this property to the bank?"
In my impression, this is a reinforced concrete building that was originally rented to a French businessman who came to the colony to seek gold. After the Japanese army entered Vietnam, it decorated a division headquarters here with exquisite facilities. It is said that the first ladder in Vietnam was installed inside.
The building is not high, but the architectural style and color can give people a heavy feeling, and it is even more rare that the location is good and it is just right for the bank.
Li Min looked at the probe again and smiled with satisfaction. "Yes, if the owner is willing to sell it, put it on the plate."
How much money does a building with such a good market say to buy a gentleman?
Wang Jingui was thinking that the car followed the motorcycle and slowly turned into a side street. After seeing the church, two cars were parked in front of a French garden house. Several Vietnamese wearing helmets and rifles and French clothes were walking back and forth beside the car and the gate.
"Lao Wang, relax. They are Catholic militia."
Ding Maocai’s voice just fell, and a woman of about 20 years old, wearing a white Aodai (Vietnamese costume) and a pearl necklace, was greeted with an ivory fan swaying in her hand.
What a charming woman!
Li Min recognized who she was at a glance, and she was whiter than anyone else. The door of the cart smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhen, how did you come out in person?"
Uncle (according to Vietnamese custom, her husband and brother are usually uncles) made it very clear in the newspaper that this young overseas Chinese who shaved his hair like a monk is trustworthy.
In the most difficult time, my uncle not only helped to lobby the government research department of Michigan Agricultural University, but also generously donated an activity. Without the 50 thousand dollars, my husband and uncle were doing a lot of work.
What’s more, he is not only an overseas Chinese, but also a consultant of su.
My uncle is in urgent need of support from all sides. madame ngo dinh showed great enthusiasm, stretched out his right arm like a lotus root and gently held his hand. He spoke fluent French and smiled and asked, "Do you know me, Mr. Li?"
Compared with Wu Tingyan and her husband Dinh Nhu Ngo, her mother is a real noble queen.
Never die, never die!
The tragic death of Wu Jiasan’s brothers in history can be said that she is a woman with a big mouth.
Li Min didn’t want to offend this powerful, naive and natural woman. She quickly said, "Mr. Yan showed me a photo of your family. Besides, don’t call me Mr. Li again. I’m a junior. Just call me Min."
It was indeed a young man who was deeply righteous and very polite. He thought that he had visited two little girls some time ago. madame ngo dinh couldn’t help laughing and asked, "Is it too messy for me to ask your people to treat you as a junior, but your sister and fiancee call me my sister?"
Li Min said solemnly, "Mrs. Zhen, they should call you sister. You are so young and beautiful. If it doesn’t call you old? We don’t contradict each other. "
"It’s no wonder that your uncle likes you so much."
Being liked by a widower who will never marry for life is not something to boast about. Li Mincha turned and took the paper bag in Ding Maocai’s hand. "I brought some chocolate candy to Lishui and Xiaozhuo since Mrs. Tan was a child. I don’t know if they like it."
Vietnamese people take different names from China people. The first word is a surname, usually a cushion name. Unlike China people, they will distinguish the second word according to seniority. For example, Wu Tingyan’s father’s name is Wu Tingke, and he has a nephew named Wu Tingchu. If it is interpreted according to China’s custom, then their family will become three generations of brothers.
The third word or the third or fourth word is the last word of a real name, such as "Mr. Yan", "Mr. Yan" and "Mrs. Yan"
It is worth noting that boys are usually given names with their fathers and girls, either "surname" or their mothers’ names. madame ngo dinh’s name is Chen Lichun, and her daughter’s name is Wu Lishui ‘er and Wu Tingzhuo.
"It’s very kind of you. Your sister and fiancee have sent a lot."
"It’s not an outsider to say that it’s not worth a few dollars to talk about you’re welcome." Li Min smiled and walked into the door with Tianhe Jiang Wenshui.
Wu Tingyan Saigon is not without supporters.
Two generations of officials in his family must have some good intimate friends and disciples. Their family also believes in Catholicism. Second brother Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c is a bishop of the Vatican. Catholics will definitely support him. He is not so many supporters and has no strength at the same time.
Here is to welcome Wu Tingyan back to make all kinds of preparations. The living room on the first floor of the camp is full of people. A man in his forties looks very fine. What is he saying with a cigarette in his face?
See him at his Li Min send a bright smile.
Dinh Nhu Ngo pointed to the floor Li Min got the message and nodded to let them come in together. Two children and so on followed madame ngo dinh to the living room on the second floor.
Wu Tingyan’s youngest brother, Wu Tinglian, has been waiting for a long time. After a brief greeting, madame ngo dinh eagerly asked, "What attitude does the ambassador of the United States have? Will he really support it?"
They can’t speak English for so many years and have never been an official. It is normal for American diplomats not to understand the situation.
Li Min sighed lightly and shook his head with deep feeling. "Mr. Lian, I don’t think we can pin our hopes on Ambassador Heath. He not only doesn’t know Mr. Yan but also is very pessimistic about the situation in Indochina."
Madame ngo dinh said indignantly, "He is a pro-French faction and often meets with the French."
"Mrs. Tan, it doesn’t matter which faction he belongs to, what matters is the attitude of the White House. I think since President Eisenhower has expressed support, there should be further measures, such as some substantive assistance."
"Min is right. He is an ambassador. Even if he doesn’t make an accurate statement, it will hinder the overall situation."
Madame ngo dinh asked again, "What about the government research agency?"
"Professor She certainly supports his efforts to get substantial assistance, and at the same time entrusts Professor Sanderson to come to Saigon for field investigation and formulate targeted assistance programs to receive first-hand information. However, the government research agency is an advisory body, and whether the programs formulated can be adopted still needs the Bishop and several senators to continue to exert influence on the White House and the National Academy."
"Where is Professor Sanderson?"
Li Min took the coffee from the servant and explained with a smile, "Mr. Lian, the situation in Saigon is too delicate. I don’t know how many people are staring at Professor Sanderson at the embassy. Unlike me, it’s not a good thing for him to rush here now because he is inconvenient to move."
Bao Lu has been driven out of Taiwan, but he still wants to get his hands on the throne of the Prime Minister, and he is supported by the former Prime Minister Ruan Wenxin and the current Chief of Staff Ruan Wenxin’s father. Not to mention the sectarian warlords and the Viet Cong, none of them want the powerful Wu Tingyan to come back.
