Taibaiju is an old meeting place for the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. This meeting was still held here, and no one had any objections. Zhang Tianci did not expect that Shi Zhenxiang would suddenly jump out to run for office, so he was a little panicked.
After all, this is someone else's home court. Although it is in full view of the crowd and he won't suffer any loss, the momentum of the home court is different. He just said that although the two followers he brought with him, Zhang Da and Zhang Er, were loyal, they couldn't compare with the others in the whole building.
People wanted to see even the chefs and waiters cheering, not to mention the chef apprentices who came from major restaurants. The atmosphere was very lively.
Zhang Tianci’s main supporters were his colleagues at Kailiang Bank. Zhang Tianci has been working in the grain business for these years. He is generous and kind to others, and he has the most friends in the grain business.
Originally, most people in the construction industry supported Zhang Tianci, but as soon as the morning came, several boss representatives from the construction team came to Zhang Tianci with a grimace: "Boss Zhang, it's not that brothers are unjust, it's actually someone from the Ministry of Works who came last night to threaten us. I can’t vote for you. Boss Zhang, your family has a great cause, and you have the support of Master Xiao, we can’t compare. But we will never vote for Boss Shi, we remain neutral. We also hope that Boss Zhang will show his respect!"
Although Zhang Tianci was a little panicked, fortunately Xiao Feng had already prepared his mind in advance. He knew that there would be some changes on the day of voting, so he waved his hand grandly: "Brothers, let's talk far away. I know your difficulties. , since we are brothers, how can we embarrass you?"
The bosses of the construction team withdrew with gratitude. Representatives from the entertainment industry also came to Yan Niang to complain. After Yan Niang heard this, she walked to Zhang Tianci in three steps: "Boss Zhang?"
Zhang Tianci was stunned and asked out of habit: "What are your instructions, mother?" Then he realized that he was not looking for a girl in Chunyan Tower, but the owner of Chunyan Tower, and his face suddenly turned red.
Yan Niang smiled slightly: "Boss Zhang, the mothers from the brothels and Goulan in Beijing told me that they all got word from the Jiaofang Division that they were not allowed to get involved in this matter. Even I was told yesterday that I should keep neutral."
Zhang Tianci was stunned: "It's not like all brothels are under the control of the Jiaofang Secretary. Are they so afraid of the Jiaofang Secretary?"
Yan Niang looked at him angrily: "You have been visiting brothels all these years, and you don't know the rules at all. Nominally, the Jiaofang Division has no control over any brothel, but the Jiaofang Division is directly under the Secretary of Ceremony, and the Secretary The ceremonial supervisor has the right to interfere with the brothels in the world, so what the Jiaofang Secretary said actually meant what the ceremonial supervisor meant.
You have Mr. Xiao's support, so neither Mr. Chen is willing to offend you. Otherwise, the Jiaofang Secretary might just ask us to vote for the other side. "
Zhang Tianci does feel a lot of pressure now. Representatives from other industries are expected to remain neutral, that is, supporting their own grain business and supporting Shi Zhenxiang's catering industry. They are evenly matched.
Whoever can get the support of other industries at this time will win, but how can we get the support of other industries?
Before hesitating, it was time for both sides to make speeches. The election of the president of the chamber of commerce is actually similar to the later American presidential election. The candidates have to express their own policy agenda, and the representatives below will vote for whomever they approve.
However, the truth is indeed similar to the US presidential election. Almost all the votes have been cast before the speech. Whoever belongs to them belongs to whom. The speech on stage is just a formality.
As long as the candidate doesn't suddenly go crazy and say that he will kill all the voters who support him when he comes to power, then there will be no surprises.
Shi Zhenxiang, as the home team, took the stage to speak in advance. This is the home field advantage, because what everyone says is a cliché, that if elected, he will lead everyone to make a fortune together. Whoever speaks first will have everyone listen carefully. If the one who follows cannot say anything new, everyone will unconsciously despise him.
After Shi Zhenxiang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand gracefully to signal Zhang Tianci to come on stage. Zhang Tianci gritted his teeth, thinking that he had no choice but to go on stage to show his shame and say these nonsense again.
Just as he was about to stand up, Zhang Da suddenly squeezed into the crowd: "Master, Master Xiao just sent someone to deliver a piece of paper and asked me to give it to you."
Zhang Tianci was overjoyed. He took the paper and took a look at it. He was stunned for a moment, but at this time he had no time to think too much. He grabbed the paper and went on stage.
Zhang Tianci didn't say a word, and waved his hand directly: "Dear business colleagues, Boss Shi has already said it all, so I won't say any more. I will only say three points!"
Everyone had never heard such a campaign speech before, and they immediately cheered up and looked at Zhang Tianci.
"First: If I am elected as president, Tianci Construction will not accept projects less than 10,000 taels in the future. Anything less than 10,000 taels will be handed over to other colleagues!
If Tianci Construction receives a project of more than 30,000 taels, it will never build it independently, but choose at least one construction industry colleague to cooperate!
Colleagues in the construction industry are short of manpower, materials, and funds. Tianci Construction is obliged to help! Once you say this, you will never go back on it! "
The crowd was in an uproar, and the bosses of the construction team were even more excited. Everyone knows that there are not so many projects worth more than 10,000 taels. Everyone usually relies on small projects for food. Now that Tianci Construction has eaten up Tanji Construction, it is the time when the army is strong and the horse is strong, but it takes the initiative to give up the market for food. How heroic!
Let’s listen to what others say later: asking for people to give people, materials for materials, money for money, what kind of style is this, what kind of demeanor is this? Isn’t it a pity that such a person should not be the president?
Several representatives from the construction industry glanced at each other, and they all knew that although expressing their stance at this time would offend the Ministry of Industry, if they could cooperate with Tianci Construction in the future, they would definitely make a lot of money. Businessmen can make money, everything else comes second, they shouted one after another.
"I support Boss Zhang!"
"Boss Zhang, I am the first to support you!"
"Fart, I was clearly about to shout first, but you covered my mouth, despicable!"
Zhang Tianci waved his hand to stop the shouts of the construction industry, looked at the paper again, hesitated, but gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Second: If I am elected as the president, I will negotiate with the Secretary of the Jiaofang! I will ask the Secretary of the Jiaofang to establish rules and allow the girls in the brothel to have the right to ask for sick leave and the right to retire and marry! Those girls with red cards have The noble man is interested in redeeming himself. If he saves enough money, he can redeem himself. What about those ordinary girls? No matter what their background or background, do they have to wait until their hair turns gray before letting them go? "
There was silence in the audience. After a while, several mothers were moved. They all survived as girls, and they were lucky enough to become housekeeping mothers. Those sisters who were similar to themselves either got sick and died one by one, or they survived until they were old and yellow. No one wanted them anymore, so they still had to work in brothels. Menial work, only to die with a body full of internal diseases and a thin coffin.
A woman's heart always has a soft side, not to mention that it is Jiaofangsi's rule not to let people leave, which actually does not do much good for the operation of the brothel. The mothers all gathered around Yan Niang: "Yan Niang, is this possible? Is Zhang Tianci... trustworthy?"
Yan Niang bit her lip but looked downstairs. Ever since Zhang Da squeezed in to deliver paper to Zhang Tianci, she sensitively walked to the railing and looked downstairs. Sure enough, Xiao Feng and three women, one older and two younger, were eating and drinking at the restaurant opposite Taibaiju.
Xiao Feng was chatting with the restaurant manager: "Shopkeeper, the business in your restaurant is not very good. It's dinner time and the tables are not full."
The restaurant owner's face was full of wrinkles and he was not young. He was not dissatisfied with Xiao Feng's truth. Instead, he sighed and said: "More than that, today's is pretty good. Because Taibaiju is holding an election meeting today and is closed. , only these guests come in to eat, there are not so many usually."
Xiao Feng took a sip of wine and ate some food, and said strangely: "The taste is not bad, how come the business is so bad?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "My lord, what you ordered is the signature dish, so it's not bad to eat. We can't hire a cook, so these signature dishes are all made by my daughter. But she can only cook five dishes, so It’s a restaurant, not a small restaurant. If the customers eat it every day, they will definitely get tired of it.”
At this time, a girl serving food came out of the kitchen, put the fifth plate of food on Xiao Feng's table, and wiped her hands with the apron in front of her: "Who said I can only cook five dishes! Mom can do it I can know twenty signature dishes!".
Her voice was a little hoarse due to the oil smoke. It was not as clear and crisp as many girls, but it had a kind of fascinating sexiness. Xiao Feng couldn't help but look up.
His handsome face was shiny, and a floral apron was tied around his waist, which made his waist appear thin and his chest firm. It had a similar effect to An Qingyue's policeman's belt tied around her waist. She should be younger than Qiao Niang, but she is definitely over twenty-five years old.
Xiao Feng suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart, running up and down, reaching as high as a choking in his throat and as low as his dantian. He was startled.
What's wrong with me? Isn't it just that I met a young woman of the right age? As for that? Are you so unable to withstand the test?
