"Thank you everyone."
Before he finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause in the venue... How could this be possible?
It’s not really a conference, and no one holds a card that says “There should be applause here”.
Everyone in Anliangtang didn’t know what to say. Well, some of them didn’t understand the new era, new atmosphere, new actions, and four transformations. They were really like falling into clouds and mist.
The fourth sister of Jinfeng pulled the corner of her husband's clothes and asked softly: "What is corporateization in the head?"
College students like Hongqi Wu Ge naturally understood it, so they lowered their voices and replied: "The second master means to transform the Hongmen into a company. In this company, everyone must follow the rules."
"Rules?" Mrs. Li said in confusion, "Don't our Hongmen have rules, too?"
"My wife, this is different!" Li Jie explained, "The rules of our Hongmen are the rules of the world, and the rules mentioned by the Second Master are the rules of making money."
This bridge engineering expert also hit the nail on the head. The so-called enterpriseization is to establish a profit-oriented scientific management system.
To put it bluntly, the goals of dynamic social groups like Anliangtang are very complicated and chaotic: they have both political intentions and economic drives, and they also assume the obligations of charitable groups and grassroots regimes, and safeguard the legal or illegal interests of their members.
Of course, they are not good men and women, and they will use violent means without hesitation to achieve their goals.
However, these goals are not only in the opposite direction, but also in conflict with each other. For example, large Western companies do invest in specific politicians, but they demand the transfer of interests. And the US Hongmen’s aid is invincible, what are the returns so far?
Because of their vision and knowledge, the middle and lower gang members of the Hongmen did not have a deep understanding of this chaos. However, when they reached the level of Situ Meitang and Huang Jishi, they found that there were structural contradictions in the Hongmen system.
Although they did not have this theoretical level to summarize, they did understand this truth in practice. So the Situ boss later took the initiative to let the Zhigong Party and the Hongmen make a separation.
Huang Jishi's face also became serious, and he and Situ Meitang communicated with each other with their eyes.
These two old brothers who have been conquering the world together since Los Angeles naturally have a certain understanding. In fact, how could this matter happen without the tacit consent of this big leader?
After the exchange was completed, An Liangtang's military advisor clasped his fists and said, "It's better to listen to your words than to read for ten years. Master Yuan is worthy of being a top student at New York University. So now Brother Li is quitting, how do you want to arrange the affairs of Baisaishan?"
"Mr. Xiangzhu, you asked well. I wonder if you have seen the agreement signed by Brother Ziyi and I?"
Yuan Yan didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "The agreement said in black and white that each of them and Brother Ziyi paid 5,000 US dollars worth of assets, each of which was owned by half. However, the business decision-making power was left."
"A few days ago, I entrusted my brother Ziyi to manage Baisaishan. Now that he voluntarily transferred his equity to Anliang Zongtang, I will naturally take back this power."
"As for how to arrange it? It was originally a commercial secret, but the Hongmen of the world is a family, so I won't hide it from you."
"Baisuishan will adjust its shareholding structure and hire Mr. Louis Baker as chairman and general manager. In fact, Baisuishan was originally registered in his name. Oh, he is Mr. George Baker's grandson, and his friend..."
Huang Jishi couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuan Er, is Mr. George Baker you mentioned a partner of the Morgan consortium?"
Master Yuan glanced at him, nodded and said, "Master Xiangzhu, you are right, it's Mr. Baker!"
Mr. Baker, who managed or authorized more than 50 companies at the same time, is a record. Then his grandson is now the chairman of NYPR and Baishuishan at the same time, which is simply a small CASE.
Even if the Hongmen disciples who were not informed even though they heard the "grandson of the partner of the Morgan Consortium", their faces were not good-looking. How could they not know what this identity means when they are making a living in New York?
Unless they break up, they can't do anything to such a big shot.
Someone in the hall couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Master Yuan Er, would you rather believe in foreigners than trust our own brothers?"
Nonsense, of course I believe... Foreigners. Foreigners can make Baisuishan go public. What can you "brothers" do? Can you use it as a guise of trafficking in smuggling liquor?
Yuan Yan looked at the person who was talking with a fool's eyes and hummed softly from her nose.
Disdainful of answering this question, he turned his head and said to the main position: "The big leader, naturally, will not let his brothers suffer any loss."
"I just said below that after Baisaishan, we will increase capital and expand shares, and the total share capital will reach 50,000 US dollars!"
He stretched out five fingers of his right hand, his left hand... Well, of course he didn't put it behind him, and looked around and said, "I will invest another 20,000 US dollars here, so there will be 20,000 US dollars left to the brothers of Anliang Zongtang. Some of them are free employees' shares to the staff of Baisuishan internal staff, which can be regarded as a reward for their hard work these days. And the other part..."
"It depends on whether you are interested?"
As soon as he said this, the people in the hall changed their expressions again. Some people showed joy, while others' faces became even more ugly.
Needless to ask, the former is close to Li Jie, and most of the subordinates work in Baisuishan; while the latter is someone who had nothing to do with but wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
"Master Yuan Er, it's indeed a good man who is righteous and generous to the world!"
"Master Yuan Er, this is unfair!"
"Master Yuan Er, how much does this stock cost?"
Now the Zhongyi Hall became lively. Some people thanked Yuan Erye for his high morale, while others complained about Yuan Erye's biasedness, while others were impatient and asked to invest directly.
"Silent!" When Mr. Huang saw that everyone was making a mess, he immediately shouted loudly, "This is Zhongyi Hall, not a vegetable market. Of course, the big leader must decide on such a big thing himself. Shut up!"
He turned around and clasped his fists at Situ Meitang and said, "Big Dragon Head, what do you think?"
"Well..." The boss of An Liangtang pondered for a moment and said slowly, "This matter is very important, let's discuss it later."
He stood up and said, "Let's get here today, let's go first."
Everyone in the hall had to hold their fists and lean over and said, "Yes, the big dragon head!"
Our Master Yuan bowed and was about to go over to say hello to Li Jie and his wife, but Situ Meitang said, "Master Yuan Er, please stay."
He asked without surprise, "Big Dragon Head, what advice do you have?"
Situ Dalongtou smiled and said, "Master Yuan, I want to chat with you alone..."
"HgS, mercury sulfide. The compounds that Chinese call sulfur and mercury are cinnabar. In addition to this chemical formula, it is also the abbreviation of a huge company, but this is not an English abbreviation, but the abbreviation of the pinyin Hong-Gong-Si.
In fact, this company belongs to the largest gang organization in Chinese history - Hongmen. Its Chinese name is Cinnabar Company.
Although the Hongmen once called itself the Hongying Yixing Company of Shuntian, this "company" was actually a gang-like combination in rural Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Later, it was taken overseas by overseas Chinese in Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
Since its establishment, Cinnabar Company has been a real enterprise that adopts a modern management model.
If you explore the predecessor of Cinnabar Company, you will find that this company has the same origin as the "UMBRELLA" group of the world-renowned biopharmaceutical company. That is the "Baisuishan" established by Mr. Yuan Yanshu in 1920.
At the beginning, Baisuishan Company had only one product, which was a health care medicine called "Shenxian Water". It is said that Mr. Yuan defeated sepsis because he took the "Shenxian Water" improved by the formula of "Five Picks" in China. Therefore, this medicinal wine became popular throughout the United States in the early 1920s.
In 1921, Louis Baker, a famous American entrepreneur, became the chairman of the company. Under his leadership, Baisuishan became a world-renowned brand, and even made the domestic medicinal wine industry in China a fall in love with it.
By the mid-1920s, Mr. Baker began to operate Baisuishan to go public. In the future, Baisuishan would be acquired by a protective umbrella, thus becoming a very simple health care product brand.
During this period, part of Baisuishan's business was divided, and this part was Cinnabar Company.
Mr. Yuan Yanshu never concealed that he was a member of the Chinese gang of Hongmen. In fact, many well-known Chinese people during the Wanqing Republic of China were members of the Hongmen. Even the Xingzhonghui, the predecessor of the Tongmenghui, was a mountain hall in the Hongmen.
Mr. Yuan was not an ordinary member. Before he went to the United States to study, he was the second sage of Baisuishan, Jiangsu. After he returned to China in 1922, his father handed over the position of Baisuishan to his eldest son.
Since then, he has become a real Hongmen boss.
In China at that time, this did not require a hidden identity. Even for a great scholar and a great writer, Mr. Yuan not only publicly admitted it, but also proudly became the leader of the Baisuishan Mountain. He opened the mountain halls several times in Shanghai, the United States and Nanyang, and recruited disciples.
Because of his lofty reputation among Chinese people, every time he recruits disciples, it was a local event. In the 1940s, one of the three adult men must have been a disciple of Baisuishan.
The participants of Cinnabar Company were not Baisuishan, and more than 30 Hongmen in the United States had shares in it at that time.
The "Deng Shaoyun Incident" that had a far-reaching impact on the various halls of the Chinese community and Hongmen in the United States occurred in the year of its establishment, which had a far-reaching impact on the various halls of the Chinese community in the United States. (Author's note: It did happen in history, and the time changed slightly.)
Deng Shaoyun is the nephew of the famous naval general Cheng Biguang.
During Cheng Biguang's naval career, in addition to being bravely injured in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he also led the "Haiqi Ship" to South America to interfere in large-scale anti-Chinese incidents in Cuba and Mexico.
At that time, the Cuban president was frightened by the military power of the Haiqi ship and had to say to Cheng Biguang: "The Cuban military and civilians will never discriminate against overseas Chinese." The Mexican government apologized to the Qing government for the anti-Chinese incident and paid for the lives and property of the victims. The Qing government also had a successful gunboat diplomacy.
Therefore, Cheng Biguang has a very high reputation among overseas Chinese, but his nephew is a scoundrel. Deng Shaoyun colluded with officials from the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau and colluded with the scum in Hongmentang to extort local overseas Chinese, and was extremely arrogant. Unexpectedly, in 1925, he was killed with an axe and corpse on the street.
This incident involved almost all Hongmen Halls in Los Angeles. A large-scale "tang fight" was inevitable, and even American gangs began to sell weapons to Chinese people.
At this critical moment, Mr. Yuan and another Hongmen boss, Mr. Situ Meitang, were anxious. Regardless of their personal safety, they resolutely took only a few guards across the United States from New York to Los Angeles. In order to hurry, Mr. Yuan Yanshu also rented a plane from General Motors through personal relationships.
After they arrived in Los Angeles, they immediately began to contact various local halls and moved them with emotion. The bosses of each hall were also very moved. Li Baozhan, chairman of the Gangzhou Club, and others deeply felt that the Chinese in the United States must unite, so they became their allies. (Author’s note: In history, it was this Li Baozhan who called for a meeting to calm the "tang struggle" of the halls at all halls.)
With the efforts of these Hongmen masters, various churches in the western United States held a large-scale gathering in Los Angeles, known in history as the "Los Angeles Peace Conference", which is called "Up Kingsoft" within the Hongmen.
At this conference, the Hongmen not only punished Deng Shaoyun's accomplices, drove them out of the Hongmen, but also banned several other halls with outstanding bad deeds.
What is even more historically is that the entrances of the Hongmen halls passed a "peace agreement". This agreement stipulates that members of the Hongmen within the Hongmen are strictly prohibited from fighting each other. If there is a dispute, they must be submitted to this committee for judgment. Members who do not obey the committee's orders and the halls will be cleared out of the Hongmen. Those who are extremely guilty will be punished by everyone in the Hongmen. A twenty-five-person committee and nine standing committee members were also established (the author's note: Hongmen is taboo to the number seven.).
They jointly elected Situ Meitang as the chairman of the committee and Yuan Yanshu as the secretary-general. The committee also established a special operation team, which was jointly led by the committee and was usually managed by the secretary-general.
Another achievement of the "Going Kingsoft" conference is that all Hongmen Tangkou in Los Angeles invest in Cinnabar Company.
Cinnabar Company originally integrated the Hongmen Hall in the eastern United States. In this way, almost all Hongmen in the United States joined Cinnabar Company and became the veritable "Hongmen Kingsoft".
Since then, the ancient Chinese gang, Hongmen, began to transform into modern enterprises and modern political parties. This should be the first corporate underworld force in the world."
