In the evening, Lu Ming arrived at the Chinachem Hotel, where Weng Bailing was already waiting for him.
Weng Bailing was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and carrying a leather bag in his hand. It is said that his qualifications were about the same as Kang Ze's, but he was not considered Mr. Jiang's confidant, so he did not enter the ranks of chief executives at the beginning, so he was not considered a veteran.
The three levels of secretary-general, secretary-general and general cadre listed at that time were not created randomly. They represented seniority, ability and the relationship behind them. This whole set of officialdom philosophy is very profound at first glance, but you can understand it at a glance.
For example, Huang Yanning did not reach the level of secretary-general. Even though he was the adjutant of the commander of the Shanghai Garrison Command, his relationship was pretty good. In the end, it was because of Lu Ming's relationship that he reluctantly entered the level of secretary-general. Without this relationship, he would have
Just ordinary cadres.
The two of them found a private room in a Chinese restaurant and sat down, and the waiter first brought them a pot of Longjing tea.
Weng Bailing poured a cup of tea for Lu Ming with his own hands, handed it to Lu Ming with both hands, and said with a smile: "Sir Lu, I hope to get your strong support in the future. If I don't get your support, I won't be able to serve as president for long.
"
Lu Ming took it with both hands and couldn't help but smile: "Sir Weng, you may have misunderstood. I wholeheartedly support you as the president. It is support, not support. In addition, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. I know that you
There are some disputes between the Huangpu clique, but that is a matter between your Huangpu clique, and I will never participate in it, nor am I interested."
"That's right, that's right. Chief Lu has given orders, and naturally he won't pay attention to these boring fights." Weng Bailing nodded repeatedly.
He was really afraid. He was not afraid of anything else but that Lu Ming would cut off his funds.
If Lu Ming wanted to find trouble, he would have many reasons. Needless to say, cut off all funds, cut off half of the funds, and the entire branch staff would be hungry.
Now among the branches across the country, including the head office, the Shanghai branch has the best salary and benefits. This is called first-come-first-served.
Even Deng Wenyi was not happy at first. Lu Ming explained that the consumption level in Shanghai was too high. If the salary and treatment of employees were not improved, it would be impossible to live a good life in Shanghai, and of course they would not be able to devote themselves to work.
After Deng Wenyi heard his explanation, she had no choice but to let it go. However, if she wanted Lu Ming to raise the salary and benefits of the Nanjing head office to the same level as the Shanghai branch, Lu Ming refused to do it, saying that there was insufficient funds.
The staff in the Shanghai branch are now used to enjoying it. If they were allowed to live the same miserable life again, they would definitely roll their eyes at the president.
"When Chief Kang left, he repeatedly told me that I must obtain your support. Without your support, I will not be able to carry out my work and the work of the company will be in trouble."
Weng Bailing was originally a calm and silent person, but now he suddenly started talking more. Power is really a catalyst, making people talk more.
"Mr. Kang, you are complimenting me. I don't have that much energy. Since you are looking for me today, I will explain clearly how I did my job before and how I will do it in the future. I will take care of the things that are my responsibility."
I will not get involved in matters that are not my business." Lu Ming made it clear.
"Then I understand. Thank you for your support, sir." When Weng Bailing heard Lu Ming say this, he felt that he was not just perfunctory and felt confident.
Lu Ming actually didn't think about anything else. It was just because the revenge plan was delayed a lot of time. He couldn't tell anyone and could only do it in secret, so Weng Bailing misunderstood it.
However, Lu Ming didn't want to get too close to President Weng. He and Kang Ze had a good personal relationship and were brothers, but it was difficult for him to do this with President Weng.
In several meetings above the director level, Weng Bailing raised some rather special topics. He seemed to be very determined to suppress the Communists and had a cold attitude. He did not leave a very good impression on Lu Ming, at least he could not call him a brother.
Lu Ming is such a person. He will never wrong himself on these issues. Brothers are brothers and colleagues are colleagues. He cannot disagree with what he means.
Unless the two parties enter into a battle of wits and courage to confuse the other party, then they have to be duplicitous.
After Lanyi Club was renamed Fuxing Club, another change was that the head office became the main station, and the branches became sub-stations. For example, the Shanghai branch became the Shanghai sub-station, and the president also became the webmaster.
However, here in Shanghai, everyone is still accustomed to calling him the president, not the webmaster.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and the two main dishes were Lu Ming's favorite stewed duck and wild ginseng stewed old hen. Recently, Lu Ming felt that his brain had been exhausted and he needed nutritious soup to replenish his food.
The remaining dishes are quite simple, just some of the more famous dishes around Shanghai such as winter bamboo shoots, wild rice and so on.
Lu Ming knew that Weng Bailing liked pickled crabs, so he ordered two.
The two of them were eating and drinking. After eating and drinking for a while, Weng Bailing said: "Sir Lu, I have an idea. Should we vigorously strengthen the detection of underground organizations of the Communist Party in the future?"
As expected, Weng Bailing has always been thinking about the great cause of suppressing the Communist Party, and it seems that the chairman of the committee specially promoted him to the post of director of the Shanghai branch of the Fuxing Society for this reason.
"Aren't we always doing the work of detecting the underground party?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"We have been doing it, but I think the focus of the company's previous work was a bit biased. It was mainly dealing with the Japanese and the intensity of dealing with the Communist Party was completely insufficient." Weng Bailing said.
Of course Lu Ming disagreed with this view. What he hated most was partisanship, but he knew he couldn't stop it, so he smiled and said, "Then how do you think we should strengthen it?"
"Now that the armistice has ended, the formal signing of the armistice treaty is just a formality. The battle with the Japanese has come to an end. I think we should transfer all the manpower and material resources from dealing with the Japanese to dealing with the underground party of the Communist Party.
Organization." Weng Bailing's words do not sound unreasonable, and he will seek his own policies in his position.
"President Weng, it's not that I disagree with your idea, but I think that the investigation of underground organizations of the Communist Party is sometimes not just a matter of how much manpower and material resources are invested, but also a matter of working methods." Lu Ming added.
Started to use deception.
"Is there a problem with working methods? Please give me some advice, Chief Lu." Weng Bailing was a little confused about what working methods meant.
"Working methods are very important. In the past, Chief Kang once proposed a method of fighting a dull war and forming a stronghold, but the result was not effective because it would touch the interests of various fraternal organizations and local forces in Shanghai. But when we deal with the Japanese, that is
This method was used to deal with the Japanese, so the local forces also acquiesced in our approach."
"Yeah, isn't this trick very effective? We can keep using it." Weng Bailing couldn't think of anything new.
"Now that we are dealing with the Communist Party, this method is no longer effective. Not only is there no gain, but it is also likely to trigger a counterattack from fraternal organizations. In other words, we need to find another set of effective methods. In this method
It is nonsense to invest manpower and material resources before thinking about it."
What Lu Ming said was pure nonsense, just to delay. He estimated that Weng Bailing wouldn't be able to think of another system to deal with the Communist Party for a while, so he could delay it for a while.
If one day Weng Bailing comes up with a good idea, Lu Ming will use his own methods to further entangle him, making it impossible for him to successfully implement the plan to suppress the Communists.
"What do you think, Commander Lu?" Weng Bailing asked.
"I don't have a good idea at the moment. My feeling is that the underground party organization of the Communist Party is a big cake. There are too many people watching. If we are too harsh, Songhu Security Headquarters, Shanghai
People from the Special Operations Brigade will be jealous and may even go to Nanjing to file a lawsuit against us," Lu Ming said.
"Whatever, as long as the underground party organization of the Chinese Communist Party is really detected, it will be a great achievement. Nanjing will also support us, so don't worry about it." Weng Bailing said coldly.
Lu Ming sighed, the new president's city was really not as good as Kang Ze's. Just being ruthless would not accomplish anything big.
In Shanghai, when it comes to being more ruthless and ruthless, no one can compare with the power of those gangs. When it comes to playing tricks, the people from the Songhu Security Command and the Shanghai Special Operations Brigade are called clever people.
