Lobby on the first floor of the Transportation Industry Association.
Su Yi's arrival only caused a short-term disturbance. He is not the protagonist today - at least not now.
Over at Zhongyi Society, this guy seems to be wearing a big-brimmed hat to keep a low profile so that people can't see his face clearly.
Seeing Su Yi's arrival, Xianxian Tian immediately wanted to come over, but was stopped by Su Yi's eyes.
Yixiantian and Su Yi had already developed some tacit understanding. When they saw this, they immediately stopped and retreated as if nothing had happened.
This is just something Su Yi wants to be careful about. It stands to reason that he is here just for a meeting and to see the excitement, so there won't be any danger.
But it's hard to say what kind of surprises there will be, so Su Yi has to be on guard and leave a hidden trick for himself.
Boom boom boom!
In the middle of the lobby, someone picked up a gong and struck it loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The man who played the gong waited for everyone to calm down and said loudly: "Please give Mr. Liu Deshan Liu a speech!"
"Are you talking about Liu San Lezi?" Before he finished speaking, someone started shouting.
"Ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Boom boom boom...
The man blushed, banged the gong hard again, suppressed his laughter, and shouted loudly: "Who said that? Who said that just now? If you have the ability, stand up for me!"
"You're not Liu San, why should I listen to you?" Someone else answered.
Everyone laughed again.
Even Su Yi couldn't help but smile, looking at Liu Deshan not far away with a dark face and a very embarrassed look.
Liu Deshan lacks prestige but is very ambitious. Naturally, many people can't stand him. He planned this conference today and didn't know what he was going to do. Although everyone came, they didn't give him face, but everyone wanted to join in.
Let’s discuss the future of travel together.
But Liu Deshan is really pretending to be a wolf with a big tail, but no one will tolerate him.
Boom boom boom...
The man struck the gong again.
Liu Deshan couldn't stand it any longer and walked onto the stage.
"You go down." He waved to the gong player.
After the man went down, he looked around and snorted: "Come on, I'm standing here now. You just called me Liu San Lezi, if you call me again, I think you have the guts!"
His eyes were sharp, he looked around and shouted: "Hey, why don't you scream anymore? You are a cowardless bandit!"
"Liu Deshan, stop being so arrogant!" Jia Changqing couldn't help shouting, "If you have something to do, just talk about it. If nothing happens, step down!"
"Of course there is something, it's okay, why did I call you here?" Liu Deshan snorted and said, "Uncle Ba was killed by a traitor, and our movement is leaderless. Today we have summoned all the leaders of our movement to gather together.
Three things. First, convey the concern of the municipal government and the French Concession Industry Bureau to our footwear industry; secondly, elect a highly respected person to temporarily take over the position of president of the footwork union’s board of directors; thirdly, Uncle Ba cannot
Die in vain, find the murderer of Uncle Ba and avenge him!"
Originally, the first two things were fine, but when it came to the third thing, Liu Deshan seemed to glance at Su Yi intentionally or unintentionally. Su Yi suddenly felt something in his heart, and he was keenly aware of the evil intentions in his eyes.
.
No way? If you really watch the fun, you can still see trouble?
Su Yi immediately became alert.
On the stage, Liu Deshan continued: "Next, I would like to invite the representative of the French Concession Industry Bureau, Mr. Hunter, to convey the opinions of the French Concession Industry Bureau. Everyone is welcome."
He took the lead in applauding vigorously, and the applause soon became sparse.
When a foreigner wants to speak on stage, no matter whether he is willing or not, everyone has to give him some face.
A tall, curly-haired foreigner quickly came on stage. He spoke with a solemn expression and his accent was fluent in Chinese, without any harshness at all.
"Everyone, the Board of Directors of the French Ministry of Industry deeply regrets the death of Mr. Ba Yanqing, and severely condemns the murderer. We hope that the French Concession Patrol Room and the Chinese Police Department can jointly investigate and arrest the murderer of Mr. Ba Yanqing as soon as possible."
"At the same time, the board of directors hopes that the normal operation of the Tianjin Transportation Industry Association will not be affected by the death of Mr. Bayanqing and come to a standstill!"
"We hope that the Tianjin Transportation Industry Association will democratically elect an acting council president to take over Mr. Ba Yanqing's job!"
"On behalf of the board of directors of the French Ministry of Industry and Commerce, I vote for Mr. Liu Deshan Liu. We hope that the acting president of the foot bank will be Mr. Liu Deshan Liu. We hope that you will respect and support the opinions and decisions of the French Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau! Thank you!"
The foreign devil's speech caused an uproar at the scene. On the stage, Liu Deshan proudly held his hands in all directions. His supporters cheered loudly and applauded to support him.
But the rest of the people all looked unhappy.
Liu Deshan actually persuaded the French Concession Industry Bureau to endorse him. This was something no one expected.
It stands to reason that the election of a boss within the foot industry, what does it have to do with the French Concession Industry Bureau?
It's really none of their business, because foot tours located in the French Concession have to pay taxes to the Ministry of Industry and Industry and are also under their jurisdiction.
If the newly appointed leader does not receive support from the French Concession's Ministry of Industry and Industry, or is even deliberately set up with obstacles by the French Concession, it is conceivable that the prestige and strength of this leader will definitely be greatly reduced.
Moreover, most foreigners wear a pair of trousers, the French support Liu Deshan, and the Britons and Itari people may also support Liu Deshan.
In this case, at least three concessions will support Liu Deshan, and only one Japanese concession will be left, and of course it will support Wu Zantong.
After the foreign devils went down, representatives from the city government came on stage again.
This is the secretary of Yu Xuezhong, commander of the 51st Army and mayor of Jinmen. On behalf of Yu Xuezhong, he came to convey three opinions to Jixing:
First, severely condemn the murderer of Bayanqing and order the police station to solve the case within a time limit; second, there should be no fighting, and the overall stability of Tianjin cannot be destroyed; third, the municipal government and the French Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau have the same views.
I think Liu Deshan is the best candidate to lead the walking tour.
Who is Yu Xuezhong?
He was the highest-ranking military and political officer in the Zhili region, and even he supported Liu Deshan, which made several leading competitors present feel bad.
Liu Deshan, who was originally the least promising, suddenly became the most favorable competitor for the leading position.
The four strongest people, Jia Changqing, An Yufeng, Wu Zantong and Zhai Li, became running companions instead.
Everyone originally thought that Liu Deshan was a clown, ambitious but would only bring humiliation to himself.
Unexpectedly, I got the endorsement from the government and foreigners. I came prepared.
Liu Deshan came to the stage triumphantly. He raised his hands and said: "Thanks to the favor of the French Ministry of Industry and the respect of the commander, I am deeply honored. Everyone, traveling is not only related to the people's livelihood and economy in Jinmen, but also to military and national affairs. Traveling on this ship
Who will be at the helm of the big ship? This cannot be decided by a few of our internal leaders. To put it bluntly, some of the bosses here have actually taken the leading position. Can you guys have fun?"
"When the time comes, the Chinese Concession will not recognize you, the French Concession, the British Concession and the Italian Concession will not recognize you, so what will you do? Liu Deshan is not talented. Today, thanks to the care and recognition from above, and thanks to the respect of his brothers below, he has recommended himself as Tianjin Transport Co., Ltd.
The position of president of the trade association council!”
"Everyone, please show your support. If you support me, Mr. Liu will be grateful; if you don't support me... haha, then you have to tell me, why do you turn a blind eye to the decision of the commander and the French Ministry of Industry?"
By the end of Liu Deshan's words, his face was already a bit ferocious.
He looked around and sneered: "You won't say anything? Okay, then I'll ask them one by one!"
"Boss Ma, what do you say?" He looked at Ma Wenyuan from the Iron Flag Club.
Ma Wenyuan's face was uncertain, he looked around and said, "I listen to everyone."
"I'm asking you, Boss Ma!" Liu Deshan pressed, "The sphere of influence of your Iron Flag Society is within the French Concession. Now you are answering me in front of Mr. Hunter, do you support the decision of the French Concession Industry Bureau?
"
Hunter cooperated and looked at Ma Wenyuan with a solemn expression.
Ma Wenyuan's eyes flashed with anger and said: "I have no objection!"
He finally chose to surrender.
Liu Deshan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Leader Zhai, what about you?"
"Support, I raise my hands to support you Mr. Liu San!" Zhai Li said with a smile.
"Where is martial arts?" Liu Deshan looked at the owner of Yongnian Martial Arts School again.
The museum owner first raised his fists around, and then said to Liu Deshan: "Mr. Liu, when we came here, our President Zheng said that the attitude of the martial arts school is not to support or oppose, no matter what result you choose,
We all accept it."
"You are as naughty as ever." Liu Deshan smiled coldly and looked at Qian Jin, "What does the Zhongyi Society say? Do you support Commander Yu's resolution?"
"Let's see again." Qian Jin said with a smile.
A hint of gloom flashed in Liu Deshan's eyes.
But he was not easy to force against Wu Xing and Zhongyi Society.
There are forces from all directions, two parties support him, two parties abstain from voting, and now there are still the Qinggang, Honggang and Santonghui who have not expressed their stance.
Liu Deshan took a deep breath and looked at Jia Changqing.
Judging from his appearance, he wanted to force the palace into submission once and for all and make everyone express their opinion.
"Boss Jia, what do you say?" Liu Deshan said with a solemn expression.
Jia Changqing rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I have no objection, I support brother Liu."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar!
Liu Deshan was surprised and happy, and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"Boss Jia, you said you support me, right?" He asked again in disbelief.
"Support." Jia Changqing said with a smile, "Since Commander Yu and the French Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau both value brother Liu, what can I say? Of course I support it."
"Jia Changqing, are you so crazy?" Before he finished speaking, An Yufeng on the side couldn't help but cursed, "You Qing Gang gave up so easily? Does your old man know that you are doing this?"
"Boss An, just worry about your own affairs." Jia Changqing said with a smile.
"Damn it, you shameless bastard, you're just messing around!" An Yufeng couldn't help but cursed angrily again, turning his head and staring at Liu Deshan, "Liu Laosan, let me tell you, you want to be the leader.
Are you worthy of taking a photo of yourself by soaking in urine? I don’t agree with this! In our Hong Gang, ten thousand people disagree!”
Then he tilted his head at Wu Zantong: "Wu, this bastard named Jia Changqing is playing tricks. Just say something! I'm telling you, if you follow his example, I'll turn around and leave!"
These big guys are all very smart people. An Yufeng was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he realized why Jia Changqing supported Liu Deshan.
Because Liu Deshan obviously came prepared today, Jia Changqing didn't want to be the first one, and didn't want to fight with Liu Deshan first, and let the Hong Gang and Santonghui follow the Qing Gang to take advantage. He, Jia Changqing, wanted to be the one to take advantage.
So he supported Liu Deshan, not really, but just didn't want to fight with Liu Deshan. He made a feint to expose An Yufeng and Wu Zantong and let them fight Liu Deshan first.
After An Yufeng figured it out, he could only suffer the loss of being dumb, because now he and Wu Zantong were the only two who had not expressed their stance. He could no longer be as cunning as Jia Changqing, otherwise once he supported it, only Wu Zantong would be left.
It will definitely be able to withstand the pressure from behind Liu Deshan, and if only one of the Three Associations does not support Liu Deshan, it will not affect the overall situation.
Jia Changqing's move of retreating in order to advance forced An Yufeng and Wu Zantong to fight Liu Deshan to the end.
Jia Changqing was not upset when An Yufeng called him a "son of a bitch" on the spot. He was quite self-indulgent. Anyway, he got the advantage, and he couldn't lose a piece of meat even if he was scolded a few words.
Wu Zantong's face didn't look good either. Jia Changqing was still playing tricks on such a big matter, which made him very annoyed.
But behind him is a Zhepeng man, so he is not afraid of foreigners and Yu Xuezhong.
Especially the latter. Since Zhe Peng occupied the three eastern provinces, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army has been stationed in Jinmen, Tanggu, Dagu, Machang, and Yangliuqing. Fortifications were built in Dagu to prevent Japanese troops from landing in Tanggu.
.
It can be said that Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army is the front line against Zhe Peng. This man has integrity and ability. He has deep hostility towards Zhe Peng. He is regarded by Zhe Peng's military leaders as a powerful enemy and they always want to get rid of him.
quick.
Zhe Peng also planned several assassinations of Xuezhong, and the Santonghui also participated.
Therefore, Liu Deshan's background can scare others, but it cannot scare Wu Zantong.
"Liu San, Mr. An was right when he said something just now. Do you want to be the leader? Why don't you take a pee and take a look at yourself? How many kilograms do you have?" Wu Zantong said with a smile, "You are just a settler.
Dog-headed Master, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
"Wu Zantong!" Liu Deshan was so angry that he was furious, "You are a lackey of the Zhe Peng people and a traitor, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"Tsk, tsk, hurry up!" Wu Zantong's face was filled with mockery, "Do you hate Zhe Peng so much? Master Liu San is very patriotic! Just say this to you, Liu Deshan, even if you become the leader, you will not be able to enter the Japanese Concession!"
"Don't misinterpret my meaning!" Liu Deshan shouted angrily, "I am only targeting your character. I have no objection to Zhe Peng people! Who doesn't know that Mr. Mitsui and I have a close friendship and we talk and laugh happily?"
Wu Zantong sneered: "Don't put money on your face. Mr. Mitsui is giving face to Mr. Ba. You, Mr. Liu San, are nothing in the eyes of others! I am too lazy to talk nonsense to you. In short, if you want to be the leader, you should die as soon as possible."
Have some fun!"
"That's right!" An Yufeng said, "Liu Deshan, people used to look up to you because of Boss Ba's face. Do you really think you are a person?"
