In the past, Huizhou merchants often organized meetings to exchange business and cooperate with each other. Most of these gatherings were led by Hu Taidou.
It sounds nice, saying that it is organizing an internal meeting, but obviously, today is a Hongmen Banquet. Although Ding Zhen doesn't want to, he must go because of his identity.
After sending a text message to Li Jin, Ding Zhen got up and went to the banquet address, the Red Star Hotel.
At this moment, the entire hotel lobby of the Red Star Hotel is booked.
The hostesses stood in a row in front of the door respectfully, greeting the bosses of Hui merchants.
However, since Huizhou merchants are spread all over the country, it is naturally impossible for everyone to arrive, but those who are in Yanjing can come here if they have time.
Half an hour later, there were already more than 40 people who came to meet us!
And more than half of these forty people were on the same boat as Long Wei and others.
"Everyone, first of all, thank you for being here."
"Today, we old friends get together and chat." Long Wei greeted all the guests with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man's voice sounded.
"Long Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it. I heard that today's meeting was initiated by you. What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Long Wei was slightly startled.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Ding Zhen also coming to the hotel lobby, smiled and got straight to the point.
"Okay, I know everyone's time is precious, so I won't be too pretentious."
"Everyone knows that after Mr. Hu passed away not long ago, there have been many conflicts within our Huizhou merchants, which has caused many problems."
"These contradictions and problems should be resolved by Ding Zhen, but unfortunately, Ding Zhen cannot solve them for the time being."
"So, I was thinking, shouldn't Ding really give up his position?!"
Long Wei didn't talk nonsense at all, and started to force himself directly, staring at Ding Zhen who had just arrived at the hotel.
When the old man heard this, he sighed heavily.
"asshole!"
"Long Wei, when will it be your turn to have the final say for our Huizhou merchants?!"
Although this old man is old, his voice is sonorous and powerful.
"Mr. Xu, you are old. I don't recommend you to get involved in Huizhou merchants' affairs." Long Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the old man.
The old man's name was Xu Lai, and he had been working with Hu Taidou in Huizhou merchants. He was friends and confidants with Hu Taidou.
However, Xu Lai doesn't show up often and has always been very low-key.
When Hu Taidou passed away, Xu Lai also went. He stood outside the door and observed three minutes of silence, and finally left without saying a word.
No one knows these things.
Ding Zhen was the next leader recommended by Hu Taidou, so when Xu Lai heard Long Wei's words, he became extremely angry.
"Long Wei, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Not long after Hu Taidou left, you are thinking of usurping the throne?!"
Xu Lai leaned on his crutch and hit the floor hard with the crutch. A hole was punched out of the delicate wooden floor!
"Mr. Xu, are you confused? I'm just thinking about our Huizhou merchants. How could it be usurped by your words?"
"Furthermore, aren't the leaders of our Huizhou merchants only those who are capable?"
Long Wei smiled disdainfully, and then turned his attention to Ding Zhen.
Hearing this, Ding Zhen clenched his fists. His qualifications were indeed lacking compared to most people.
But Long Wei's words not only negated Ding Zhen himself, but also negated Hu Taidou's choice!
This is disrespectful!
"shut up!"
"It was Hu Taidou's decision to let Ding Zhen take over. How much contribution did Hu Taidou make to our Huizhou merchants during his lifetime? Now that you are saying that Hu Taidou chose the wrong person, aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
After Xu Lai finished speaking, he took a deep breath.
As he is getting older, he doesn't care about how much money he can still make. He just wants to unite the Huizhou merchants internally and work together to run the Huizhou merchants group better.
