Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 801

  In the night

  The Duke of Palawan from Australia. The Duke of Wright stayed at the Santiago Castle in the Royal City of Manila, which has been converted into a royal palace to provide the most respectable enjoyment.

The Viscount Humen and his entourage stayed in other hotels in the Wangcheng. Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang were both on business. They also had several staff from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were the specific staff. They all lived in the most high-end Wangcheng. Shangri-La Hotel.

  Manila is a city within a city that has been run by the Spanish for more than 200 years. It covers an area of ​​only one square kilometer, but has more than 10 beautiful Catholic churches and a variety of European-style buildings with a history of more than 100 years.

  Shangri-La Hotel is a four-story Byzantine-style building. After the lights are lit at night, it is full of mysterious European luxury.

  Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang got ready in the hotel, and when night fell, they walked out of the hotel room together.

  They are going to participate in a grand reception organized by the local government of Manila tonight. Welcome the two His Royal Highnesses, Viscount Humen, and the senior leaders of the Somali company. The venue is in the backyard of Shangri-La Hotel.

  When they arrived calmly, the reception was already full of gentlemen and ladies, with bright lights and melodious piano music echoing in the air. The guests gathered in twos and threes and waited for the official start of the reception.

  "Big Brother, His Royal Highness Kate said that he would stay here for at least half a year, maybe even longer. Our errands cannot last for such a long time, at most two months. How do you think about it?"

"Is there anything to consider? Find an excuse to stay here. I don't believe that your Property Department is in the Luzon Islands on this matter. Anyway, you are idle and you are idle, so you can simply take up other tasks as well. Come here and handle them together, so that the year-end assessment can definitely get an excellent + assessment, which is enough to guarantee the promotion of team leader. This is what I am going to do to accumulate qualifications for the promotion of deputy director."

   "You are really going to work in the internal affairs office for a lifetime, I don't plan to stay long."

"Is it a matter of staying aside for the time being, there is always no harm in trying to get a promotion. At least the administrative resume is there, the evaluation file is there, and then the administrative level is raised. In the future, there is no need to start from the beginning if you transfer to any department, unless You are going to go back to the house and eat and wait for death, otherwise there will always be a purpose, do you think this is the reason?"

   "Well, it makes sense. The administrative level is very important. If we are able to be a bureaucrat at the level of the director, we can be competent to be the mayors of cities below the second-tier. At least the qualifications are enough."

"It's good if you understand. The imperial administrative official system pays great attention to resumes and personal evaluation. Think about it. If you can get the respect of the Duke of Wright and participate in the development of the town of Wright Island, you will be adding a golden sign to yourself. The advantage is not It's self-evident. How did Wu Changwen become a top nobleman from an unknown secretary, surpassing many predecessors? Isn't it the outstanding feat of developing Shangri-La Island? Wu Mozhou also seized this point and won the top nobleman for the Wu family. Inheritance, even death can be ignored."

   "Brother, it seems that your ambitions are not small?"

   "Don't tell me you don't have one!"

  Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang looked at each other and laughed. There is nothing to hide from the good brothers who know the roots and the bottom, neither of them are willing to be mediocre.

   is saying this

  The heavyweight officials of the Luzon Islands government arrived one after another, causing a commotion among the guests, and they greeted them at the door one after another.

  Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang both stood side by side with expressions, not going to join in the fun.

  They are distinguished and come from the Imperial Capital's Internal Affairs Office. Although their positions are not high, they are completely bad, and they don't need to surrender their status to cater to these civilian officials.

  "Sorry, take the liberty to bother me, can you allow me to introduce myself?" The speaker was a 30-year-old businessman of Chinese descent, dressed in a decent tuxedo, of a slightly fat medium body, and seemed to have a good temperament.

"You are……"

"My surname is Geng, in cursive characters, Kaiping, a native of Ludong, who has been settled for 13 years. I originally did some small business in Wisconsin. The empire expanded the Luzon Islands. I immediately sold all the family assets and followed the army. It has been three years since I came to this land of Nanyang to develop and sell canned food, and it has been listed as one of the military suppliers. Fortunately, it has been three years since I came to this land. Now I see two noble sons, and I am willing to do my best."

   "Oh, do you know who we are?"

  "I dare not conceal the two princes. The villain did inquire and knows that the two princes are both indescribably expensive. Please forgive me a lot."

"Don't use these four words arrogantly, we still can't afford it." Li Xiaozu understood right away. This Geng Kaiping is a businessman who is good at drilling camp. I don't know which channel to find out their identities, so I ran away. Come to show us.

  If it’s just a short period of time to do errands, one or two months of work, naturally, there is no need to deal with these people.

However, if you want to get familiar with your Highness for half a year or a year, you have to consider a long-term plan. In Luzon, you are not familiar with the place where you are born. It is inevitable that your subordinates must have suitable people. convenient.

  This Geng Kaiping looks good, at least he has enough eyesight and his head is bright, so he doesn’t look annoying.

   "I am dull, please forgive me, my son." Geng Kaiping bowed and saluted.

Li Xiaozu smiled and said, "If you are stupid no matter how stupid you are, I don’t think there are many people who understand in Manila. Since we have inquired about our identity, there is no need to introduce it to you. We really need someone to take care of us on this trip. I see you. You have enough eyesight, so let's follow the instructions for the time being."

  "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your importance, thank you, Mr. Duan, for your importance. If you have any needs, please let me know."

   "The first thing is to stop us, don't let irrelevant people harass, we don't have time to deal with them." Duan Changjiang frowned and ordered.

  The movement here has attracted the attention of other people. Several guests looked at each other and felt that Li Xiaozu's second popularity was extraordinary, and they wanted to come forward and make friends.

  The first caring person can indeed give opportunities, but it does not mean that they will give people who follow suit a chance to please.

  Geng Kaiping heard this, his brows flashed with joy, and he replied in a deep voice; "Please don't worry, Mr. Duan, the villain will take care of it."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around to greet him, stopped a few guests who wanted to come to meet him at the periphery, whispered a few words, and dismissed them all.

  Then Geng Kaiping turned around and came back, standing silently behind Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang, confiding himself, feeling his waist straightened a lot.

  This performance made Li Xiaozu quite satisfied.

  To be a subordinate, you must have the consciousness to be a subordinate, not to distract you, not to boast, to be diligent, and to abide by your own duties. When that happens, he will not be stingy to throw a flesh and bone out.

  If this guy considers himself a friend, he might as well get out as early as possible.

Merchants are also divided into three or six or nine grades. Although some big businessmen do not have aristocratic titles, they do charitable work, repair bridges and pave roads, benefit the villagers, and donate money and materials to disadvantaged groups in society. The imperial government will choose some to commend them, and they can get "jazz." Title, usually when claiming to be ** Jazz.

There are very few big businessmen who can be commended by the imperial government, only one to twenty a year, plus celebrities, famous scholars, lawyers, high-ranking judicial officials, etc., no more than 30 honors are awarded each year, and they are eligible for ranking. In the upper class society.

  Medium businessmen are rich and influential in the industry, but their influence is not enough. They can only linger beyond the threshold of upper class society. No matter how much money they make, they are just nouveau riche, and their social status is far inferior to the former.

  For example, Major Wu Baoli’s father, Wu Zhengguang, is the chairman of the listed company Fuguangji Cement Company. The family’s cement plants have grown from 13 to 17, and he is the vice chairman of the Red River Valley Cement Industry Association. He is wealthy.

  But such a businessman is only a middle-class businessman. Its products are limited to the metropolis and surrounding areas of the Red River Valley and do not have national influence.

  If calculated by property, there are no less than 30-40 such building materials industry tycoons in the imperial cement industry. If the entire construction industry is included, there will be two to three hundred people, which is not uncommon.

  Therefore, the honor commended by the empire is still very precious. A big businessman who can be called a "jazz" must at least have national influence, an outstanding reputation, enthusiasm for charity and public welfare, and set an example for the business community.

  A few more are businessmen like Geng Kaiping, who have moved to the mainland for a long time and have accumulated some wealth in years of doing business. They can see opportunities for overseas colonization and make their careers to the next level.

  Able to come to this point, you will find that social status has become a fatal shortcoming restricting business tycoons.

  If you can’t make a breakthrough, that’s it for the rest of your life.

  Opportunities are always reserved for those who are interested. Being good at discovering and seizing opportunities is a prerequisite for success in any era.

  The formation of the social structure of the Ocean Empire originated from the integration of the feudal system of the ancient Chinese culture and Western ideas. It was limited to the factors of the times and contained both stale class concepts and many positive things.

  The judging standard is not simply right or wrong. Any rhetoric that is out of reality is a hooliganism.

  It can only be said that the operation of society has its own laws. With the development of society and the emergence of new ideas, society is constantly evolving to adapt to new forms.

   Only one criterion can be used to judge whether the social system is appropriate;

   Is that suitable for the economic development of the current era? Whether it can work for the welfare of the public, give the citizens an international status of self-respect, self-reliance and self-confidence, and create a prosperous and beautiful life.

   "His Royal Highness, Duke Wright is driving to..."

   With a loud shout, all the gentlemen and ladies at the reception started to take action and flocked to the entrance of the hall to greet them.

  At this time, Li Xiaozu and Duan Changjiang were no longer holding on, and hurried forward to greet them.
