The businessmen from Shanghai mentioned by Du Zhaojian are a large number of businessmen who moved from Shanghai to Hong Kong after the defeat of the Kuomintang in 1949. The word businessman is not accurate enough. Indeed, there are many rich businessmen and industrialists in Shanghai, but there are also many former senior Kuomintang officials who escaped to Hong Kong with huge wealth after corruption, and some Jianghu tycoons such as Du Yuesheng.
These visitors from Shanghai are very valuable, and they are all the top people who have been living in the great Shanghai ocean market of the Far East never night city for many years. Driving to a small place like Hong Kong is naturally like swallowing mountains and rivers and a raptor crossing the river. Banking, jewelry, gold, factories, logistics and shipping, as long as one industry makes money, four or five businessmen from Shanghai will invest in partnership and throw money into the market, so as to quickly seize the market belonging to these local Chinese businessmen.
Frankly speaking, Chu Yaozong in Chaozhou, Zhou Xiyu in Wuyi, and even Cai Wenbai in Dongguan, these local leaders at the top of the Chinese business pyramid have been doing business in Hong Kong for 20 or 30 years. Most of them have been doing business in Hong Kong for the father and son generations. They have seen many storms and waves. What's the difference between Chengfu and the three major Guangdong business chambers? But it was Chu Yaozong who slowly helped the two fill their tea cups with tea again: "Less than two years after the liberation of the mainland, at least 30 banks, banks and money stores opened by the Chinese in Hong Kong have been closed. If our Cantonese banks fight with the banks of the Shanghai people, the means is to increase the deposit interest and run on each other. In the end, it is the British who reap the benefits and drive those who want to save money to the banks opened by the British. During this period, the British The national ghost guy lets the banking industry turmoil. He may not want to see our Chinese fight. Every time he closes a bank, whether it's a Cantonese bank or a Shanghainese bank, those ordinary people will be disappointed with our Chinese bank. Finally, they will deposit their hard-earned money in the bank opened by the ghost guy. "
"What if we don't fight? Can't we pay back if these Shanghainese don't abide by the rules? We don't talk about banks and gold and silver fields (referring to the gold and silver trading fields in Hong Kong) , the rules of the gold and silver market, if not the staff of the gold and silver market, if you want to participate in the trading of the gold and silver market, you must entrust the staff of the gold and silver market. However, these Shanghainese engage in confrontation and eat all the profits originally belonging to the trade market outside the market. The rules of the gold and silver market are not set by the British, but by our Chinese. All the staff are from Guangdong, so are the Shanghainese To do is to steal money from the Cantonese naked. If we Cantonese don't unite, we will be driven out of the sea by these Shanghainese sooner or later. "Du Zhaojian's tone has been a little fierce.
Chu Yaozong looked at Deng Zhaojian: "what do you mean?"
"In the name of the charity fund-raising dinner of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I made an appointment with the bosses of chambers of Commerce in Chaozhou, Wuyi, Dongguan and other large and small chambers of Commerce in Guangzhou to talk about it. However, without the courtesy of the three presidents, I can't do it only by my face. If I don't unite, I will have to make a big wok." Du Zhaojian took a deep breath and touched his bald head with his hand to calm himself down.
Chu Yaozong leaned back to his seat and slowly closed his eyes: "Shanghai people have been making waves in the banking industry since they began to fry gold in the sea. However, most of the businessmen from some families have not been hurt by Shanghai people. Those who have closed the door are just people with poor vision, greedy appetite and small scale who want to swallow giant elephants. In the past, the three major chambers of Commerce competed with each other, and the British brought one in isolation On the surface, the three chambers of Commerce keep fighting with each other, but in fact, it is clear that those discord on the surface is good for everyone and can develop smoothly. However, if we three in one and fight with the Shanghainese, it will give the Shanghainese an opportunity. Think about it, if the British hold the Shanghainese to cross the river and the dragon, they will pressure us in Guangdong What will happen to these local snakes? You know, those Shanghainese don't lack money. What they lack is the opportunity for the British to hold them. If they really want to get this opportunity, that's the situation where they really show their fangs and eat people at every turn. That's why the three of us haven't spoken. This opportunity can't be given to Shanghainese. If we don't give it to them, they can only take it The money in hand continues to jump up and down, which is difficult to become a climate. "
"If you don't unite to fight the Shanghainese, you can't do business stably, and you're afraid that the British will give the Shanghainese a chance, can you just sit and die?"
Chu Yaozong opened his eyes, looked sideways at Du Zhaojian, who was too poor in his Qi cultivation skills, and smiled: "Forbearance, the British are also very dissatisfied with these Shanghainese who do not follow their rules, but the British can bear it. We are all Chinese. Why can't we bear it? I have endured it for two years since Shanghai businessmen entered Hong Kong. How difficult is it to wait for another two years? Zhaojian, the Japanese robbed your bus company. You have endured it for nearly four years? Four years later What about yourself and what about you? It's only two years now. The time has not come. It's still early. "
