Kneeling down is a traditional Chinese etiquette. Juniors must kneel when they meet their elders, subordinates when they meet their superiors, and citizens when they meet officials. Cao Shuai did not feel that he was being intrusive at all!
But this move made Mi Fu panic, and she quickly reached out to hold him up, "You kid, please don't hurt me... It's not a festival to worship ancestors, nor is it a blood clan, why are you kneeling to me?"
"The head of state doesn't like to kneel down and worship. Don't get me into trouble!"
Several other guests waiting to see him also whispered, "Brother, don't panic, no one is joking with you, this is really an ironclad rule among the Chinese!"
"If a man has gold under his knees, he should kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents! During the four seasons festivals, he should kneel to his elders, and he should kneel to the heroes and martyrs in the Temple of War! This is all allowed!"
"But you can't kneel on ordinary days, especially ordinary people can't kneel on officials... This is a fatal order from the head of state, and it is linked to restoring the confidence of the entire nation!"
"The head of state has long said that China's civilization has developed for thousands of years and has become more feminine than masculine! We Han people have long since lost the martial arts of the Qin and Han Dynasties!"
"This is wrong. If we want to restore the ancient bloody courage of our Han people, we must first change our customs...Abolition of the kneeling ceremony is the first priority!"
"A good man kneels here and there every day. Is his kneeling like a bone? Stand up straight. If you kneel before the head of state in the living room later, I'm afraid your first impression will be zero!"
"Don't talk about talks then, the head of state will kick you out directly!"
Cao Shuai's face turned red as the elders said it, and he was too timid to refute!
Mi Fu waved his hand, "Don't scare the child. After all, he is young and comes from a backward place. He doesn't understand the new rules here!"
"Child... I tell you, be good! When you see the head of state, hold your chest up, but don't act like a slave like you usually do when you meet Manchu officials!"
"The more confident and self-improving you are, the more favorable the head of state will be to you! Believe me, I'm right..."
Cao Shuai clasped his fists and thanked the elders for their advice, "Thank you so much! It's my first time coming to the Chinese community, and I don't understand the rules... I have to go visit the elders one by one later!"
"Boss Mi... I have been asked by Commander Zuo to come and see you. The Northwest Army has purchased a lot of individual soldier rations from you..."
"I've always been on credit. I'm very sorry...but the battles to come will become more and more difficult. In the future, the portable individual soldier rations you produce will still have to be doubled!"
"I want to hear the old gentleman's opinion on this matter of checkout..."
Mi Fu smiled and shook his head, "Don't talk about such specific things today. Isn't it just a little military ration? As long as the Northwest Army needs it, we can get as much as we need!"
"As for the settlement... I still trust the Western Region Development Bank! As long as this bank operates well, I'm not afraid of you defaulting on your debt..."
"Come forward... don't refuse. When you didn't arrive just now, the name post had already been placed. You come from the far northwest. The head of state said that you should see me in advance whenever you arrive!"
Commander Cao felt warm when he heard this. He never expected that the head of state would pay attention to such details!
As he was talking, suddenly the hatch at the end opened a gap, and a middle-aged man stepped out and bowed respectfully at the door, "Yes! I will follow the instructions of the head of state, and my subordinates will do it now... expand the scale of the stock market. , prepare to raise funds for our fortress plan!"
Mi Fu reached out and poked Shuai Cao and whispered, "This is Liu Hesheng! The most legendary Mr. Hesitation, you have to pay homage to him when you come to Jiangnan! This is a God of Wealth greater than me!"
Liu Henzhen had a very good ear. He turned around and smiled at Boss Mi, "The world's granary actually learned to laugh at people? What kind of God of Wealth am I? I'm just a bug who guards the stock market and shows the door to you, the real God of Wealth!"
Liu Hengzhen stretched out his hand from Cao Shuai, "This little brother is very eye-catching! I am Liu Hesheng, nicknamed Bedbug... Hahaha... a little beggar from Jiangnan!"
Cao Shuai's head was dizzy. Why did he see all the top Gods of Wealth today? These were the Gods of Wealth that made businessmen all over the world rub calluses in their ears!
It’s hard to even want to meet him, but I didn’t expect to meet him here!
Cao Shuai quickly bowed and stretched out his hands to hold Liu Hengzhen's hand. "Mr. Hesitation is a legend in life. Even my friends from Northwest Business Road admire him very much!"
"I am truly lucky to be able to see my true face today! It's really...my auspicious stars are shining brightly today, and my luck is so good!"
Liu Yunzhen patted the back of Cao Shuai's hand, "Don't be nervous, this is your first time in Jiangnan, your first time dealing with Chinese businessmen... Actually, the rules here are very simple, not so complicated and dark!"
"Abide by the laws and pay taxes according to regulations... As for your business, it can be done without any prohibitions!"
"The last thing the Chinese people have to worry about is asking for bribes. You don't have to hand over any bribes to ensure that you can handle everything! If someone does something dirty, none of the uncles, uncles and brothers present will hear it. I’ll just sit back and ignore it!”
"You can do it safely and boldly, the Chinese Code of Conduct sincerely invites you to do anything!"
"But remember! Rules and laws are double-edged swords. You have to restrain yourself just as much as you chop others... Don't evade taxes. This is a big taboo!"
"Don't make illegal money! This Chinese code is strict on others, but in fact it is strict on yourself...then it will be really unkind!"
Cao Shuai kept nodding in agreement, sweating on his forehead. Mi Fu saw it and stopped him quickly, "Why are you trying to scare this guy on his first day here? Don't worry, the Chinese are not a sea of swords and fire, this is a paradise for businessmen." , as long as you behave yourself, you will definitely make a fortune!"
"I'll teach you to be a good boy again! You have to give a good banquet to Mr. Liu Hengzhen... In fact, Marshal Zuo and the generals want to raise military funds, so it is most appropriate to find Mr. Hesitation!"
"The Western Region has been pacified. You can use any industry to establish a company... When Jiangnan goes public, all the start-up funds will be available!"
Cao Shuai's eyes lit up and he quickly bent down and bowed, "This will really trouble Mr. Hesitation!"
This visitor from the northwest really had an eye-opening experience today. Two top Chinese wealth gods gave him a brief introduction to the people in the queue. Upon closer inspection, they all turned out to be businessmen.
Niu Jinfu from the Sihai Group did not come, but he sent two nephews from his family to meet the head of state. Of these two nephews, one controls three large arsenals and the other controls this large shipyard. They are also prestigious businessmen among the Chinese!
The Wang Xiang family of the Far East also sent people. A chairman of the Far East Trading Company and a big shopkeeper who conducted business on the Mongolian Plateau have all made great contributions to the Chinese!
In the end, when Cao Shuai heard this, he realized that these things at the door were not big, and there were two great masters in the room. Old shopkeeper Fan Jian and red-top businessman Hu Xueyan also accompanied the head of state to discuss future government affairs!
Cao Shuai felt that the sweat on his back started to flow down from the heel of his hair, and penetrated into his back along the collar. The sweat on his body was breaking out in waves!
Did he fall into the God of Wealth's nest? They are all capitalists countless times greater than themselves!
The sense of superiority he had built up during the rich fight with the city's generals on the boat was gone. The little money he could control was like a firefly versus the sun and the moon compared with these top capitalists with billions of assets. Empty!
