Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng, Zhou Kunyu, Zhao Liangfa and other Nanyang businessmen were sitting in the office, all smiling. During this period, the Nanyang businessman's factory was successfully constructed in the industrial park, and the Nanyang businessman had a close relationship with Li Zhen. Li Zhen's banner quickly established relationships with local businessmen and began to integrate into them.
Such a result is undoubtedly what Nanyang businessmen want to see most.
However, they also realized that the local people were still a bit repulsive towards them. After all, they had come back from outside, and because of the rumor that the dragon's veins had been severed, the people always avoided the factories of Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng and others.
When faced with such a situation, Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng and others all wanted to change.
They came to Li Zhen's office just for this matter.
As the leader of Nanyang merchants, Li Wangdao said without hesitation: "President, this time a tornado landed at the mouth of the Pearl River and swept away many people's houses, so that the people on the seaside were affected. When encountering such a thing, we Nanyang merchants I am duty-bound and willing to do whatever I can to help the people tide over the difficulties."
"Oh, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhen's mind changed and he understood the intentions of Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng and others.
As the saying goes, drunkards are not interested in drinking. Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng and others did not care about how much money disaster relief would cost. What they cared about was their reputation among the people, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of disaster relief to mingle with the people.
There is no doubt that disaster relief is a good breakthrough.
He is indeed an old fox.
Li Zhen sighed in his heart, but he was still looking forward to it.
Li Wangdao smiled slightly and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "The Nanyang business group has purchased a large number of daily necessities, including grain, salt, oil, clothes, bedding, etc., and plans to deliver them to the people affected by the disaster at the seaside. This time, only items will be delivered. No money will be given away, but everyone in each household will be guaranteed to receive a share."
Li Zhen agreed: "Yes, the idea of sending items is correct. If you send money directly, firstly, if you have too much money, it will easily cause distribution problems, and conflicts will be unsightly. Secondly, sending money directly will easily increase the people's confidence." Hope, let the people have the idea of whether someone will give more money next time, it is most appropriate to directly give away daily necessities for daily life."
After a pause, Li Zhen asked again: "Why don't you go there in person for such a thing? Why don't you give more opportunities to juniors like Li Yurong and Duan Kezheng? They are young and motivated, so I think they are the most suitable." candidate."
Li Wangdao shook his head and said: "Only by going there in person can we show our sincerity."
Li Zhen said: "Okay, everyone, go ahead."
In fact, Li Zhen was also quite puzzled. These people could go directly to the beach to provide disaster relief. Why did they need to come to the office to find him? This was simply unnecessary and there was no need to come to ask for instructions.
This is a good deed and no one can object to it.
Could it be that the merchants from the Nanyang Merchant Group came here with ulterior motives?
Li Wangdao smiled, and that smile further confirmed what Li Zhen was thinking. He heard Li Wangdao say: "President, only businessmen from our Nanyang Merchant Group are going, and the weight is a bit low. Do you think it would be better to send an official and Let's go together." At this point, he looked at Li Zhen and said with a smile: "If the president is willing to go, then it is undoubtedly the best."
Li Zhen shook his head decisively and said: "No, I won't go this time."
If he accompanied Li Wangdao and others in person, the commotion would be too big, which would be bad.
Li Wangdao sighed lightly, quite disappointed. Immediately, Li Wangdao hurriedly asked: "Since the president does not have time, then we kindly ask the president to send an official to go with us."
Li Zhen thought briefly and said, "Let Zheng Yuanhu go. Zheng Yuanhu is the mayor of Guangzhou and the parent official of this area. He went with you. His official position and status are suitable."
"Thank you, President."
Li Wangdao immediately bowed to thank him, then said goodbye and left.
Li Zhen watched the group of people leave the office and shook his head slightly. In order to truly take root in Guangzhou, these old men tried their best to seize the opportunity. This time, they sent items to the people on the seaside. In fact, they did not spend too much money. There are many, but the benefits are huge. Reputation is sometimes very useful.
Li Wangdao and his entourage came to Zheng Yuanhu’s office, explained their purpose, and conveyed Li Zhen’s words. Zheng Yuanhu immediately packed up, and then headed towards the seaside village with Li Wangdao and others. On the way, Li Wangdao and Zheng Yuanhu chatted happily. , after all, Li Wangdao was the childhood playmate of Mr. Zheng Youwei, and Zheng Yuanhu was a pure and filial person, so he could not be presumptuous in front of his old father's friends.
A group of people went to the village, and Zheng Yuanhu's appearance also caused a big sensation.
In the eyes of the people, Zheng Yuanhu was already a giant.
As the highest official on this trip, Zheng Yuanhu waited for the people to gather and first spoke a high-sounding official speech. Then the conversation changed. Zheng Yuanhu introduced Li Wangdao, Duan Fusheng, Zhao Liangfa and other businessmen who had returned from Nanyang. Li Wangdao and others praised Li Wangdao and others to the extent that they were rare in heaven and on earth, and praised Li Wangdao and others as businessmen who served the country and the people.
If the people can benefit from it, there will naturally be no objections and they will all applaud vigorously.
Later, Li Wangdao spoke as a representative.
Li Wangdao didn't say much, he just stated the items sent this time.
He explained each piece without empty words, which attracted the people's applause. This is the art of speaking of an old fox. He identified what the people were most concerned about, and he followed their favorites and easily won the favor of the people. After Li Wangdao finished speaking, he asked the people to register and queue up to receive the delivered items.
The people brought by various merchants began to be busy, and they were all so busy that they could not touch the ground and were very tired.
By about four o'clock in the afternoon, the matter was over.
Zheng Yuanhu, Li Wangdao and others left the village and returned to Guangzhou. On the way back, the group seemed very relaxed, laughing constantly, and were happy for today's complete success. Li Wangdao said with a rich smile on his face: "Zheng City Chief, thanks to your strong support this time, if it weren’t for Mayor Zheng’s recommendation, Nanyang businessmen would still have a long way to go to gain recognition from the people.”
Zheng Yuanhu shook his head and said: "Uncle Li is too generous. This is my duty."
The group was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Report,."
Suddenly, an accompanying soldier ran back, saluted Zheng Yuanhu, and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Zheng, a group of rogues appeared on the road ahead, blocking our way."
With a flick of the brush, Zheng Yuanhu's face darkened.
This place is under the rule of Zheng Yuanhu, and is his territory. Now he is accompanying Li Wangdao and others, but he encounters the rogue Jie Dao. Isn't this a slap in the face? Zheng Yuanhu's heart was filled with anger, and he was very indignant. He shouted in a deep voice.
: "Let's go and see what kind of scoundrels dare to block the road in broad daylight. They are so brave."
A gleam flashed in Li Wangdao's eyes, and he looked thoughtfully at Duan Fusheng, Zhou Kunyu and others, and then followed Zheng Yuanhu quietly.
