The embankment is located in the southwest of Saigon, about 5 kilometers away from the city of Saigon. In 1932, the French and Vietnamese authorities merged Saigon and the embankment into a dual-union city, so it is called the Xidi.

5 kilometers is not far, but it is not that easy to reach the city.

The car was like walking on serrated teeth, making people dizzy. Thousands of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles... The tricycles filled with passengers were crowded on the dusty streets. Pedestrians ran around between trucks and sedans, forcing the driver to brake again and again.

Money is worthless and hard to make.

The locals who carried various fruits on their shoulders and the coolies who unloaded goods on the docks may not be able to earn 20 Viet currency (Piaster) from morning to night. They barely support their families and cannot suffer disasters, let alone send their children to school.

After the past two months of experience, Wang Jingui seems to be dreaming.

First, they were taken in by the kind-hearted eldest son of the Li family. The father and son had just settled down and had just had a few full meals. Mr. Liu asked someone to pick up the child's mother from Phu Quoc Island from thousands of miles away.

I sent my child's mother to the hospital for medical treatment, and sent my child to Yi'an Middle School where only Chaozhou people could go to. The travel expenses, hospitalization fees and tuition fees were paid by everyone. After that, I arranged a small courtyard on the Iron Street. I no longer had to go to the wooden factory to carry wood, nor did I have to go to the warehouse to carry bags. The salary suddenly increased several times, 2,000 Viet currency a month, and I would advance for three months in advance. As long as I protect the eldest young master.

If you can be happy and stable in this life, who would be willing to be displaced?

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. Not to mention that people pay such a high salary, even if they only give 200 Viet currency a month, they will have to go through fire and water.

Wang Jingui sat in the co-pilot, looking vigilantly at the people on the roadside looking at this side. He subconsciously reached into his arms and was ready to pull out his gun at any time. At the same time, he was thinking about how long it would take for the Chaozhou Gang brothers who were driving a motorcycle in front and the six old subordinates on the truck behind to come and reinforce.

Ding Maocai has been secretly managing those shameless businesses. The eldest young master doesn't let him do it anymore, so he can only change his job. He hates studying the most. When he heard last night, he suddenly became older. He volunteered to be a bodyguard with Wang Jingui this morning.

And there are very sufficient reasons. Wang Jingui and others are outsiders, who know people and faces but not the heart. Who knows whether they will be evil in the future and will be bribed? Secondly, they are all veterans of the national army who fled from the mainland. They do not speak Vietnamese and are not familiar with the surrounding environment, especially the terrain.

Liu Jiachang thought it was indeed reasonable, so Master Li had a "guard" composed of Heshan's children and veterans of the Kuomintang.

Two motorcycles were in front, one truck and the back, all of which were American goods made from the black market, M1 carbine, Thomson submachine gun, M1911 automatic pistol, and a box of grenades and a Browning light machine gun were hidden in the truck box.

It has strong firepower and can fight a platoon-level blocking battle. It’s just that it doesn’t dress uniformly and disguise it more successfully. Outsiders don’t know that they are in the same group.

Ng Diem advised Bao Da to come back together in Paris. Now Vietnam has no leader, Bao Da’s uncle Bao Lu can’t continue to do it. Pan Huikuo is the acting prime minister who will not go out.

There will be no danger before Wu Diem comes back. Li Weimin is not as nervous as them. She sits in the back row and chats with He Tianming and Jiang Wenshui.

"Mr. Li, we are very clear that no matter how hard we try, we cannot see immediate results. After all, the impression left by the embankment on the locals is deeply rooted. In the minds of many people, the embankment is a place where dirt is hidden. In fact, in the past century, it has indeed been a concentration of ruffians, prostitutes, and gambling venues."

A Shui added with a frustrated look: "There are many Chinese businessmen who are rich and unkind, and there are also many black sheep who commit crimes. Some people who are not good at doing business and idle people have formed many small gangs. Although they are not as notorious as the Pingchuan Sect, they do not do less bad things on the embankment than the Qiyuan."

Not to mention the current embankment, it is like the Chinatown of Manhattan in later generations.

There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Li Weimin sighed secretly and said in a tempting manner: "Aming, A Shui, it is very difficult for you to see these. What's more valuable is that you not only see them, but are also trying to change this situation. In fact, I have the same feeling as you. The weather on the embankment is too bad. You must do something and change the overall image of our overseas Chinese in the minds of locals."

He is one of the most influential young men on the embankment, and more importantly, he is rich.

He Tianming didn't want to miss this precious opportunity and said with anticipation: "Mr. Li, since you agree with our views, on behalf of all the students of the Hua Youth Association, I sincerely invite you to serve as our honorary president."

"The title of president is not good, not democratic, even if it is a reputation. Amin and Ashui, I suggest that you organize like a company, set up a board of directors, and those responsible for specific work serve as chairman. Those who serve as directors or honorary directors like me, and then work as Ma Gongzi, Mr. Wu and Mr. Guo, and bring them all in, so that our strength will be stronger and our influence will be greater."

His friends were all the richest young men on the embankment. He Tianming was ecstatic and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Li said very well. When we go back, we will revise the constitution, and only have the chairman of the board of directors, not the president."

These children have very ideas and cannot ask them to do what they do, they can only guide them.

Li Weimin smiled and said, "Amin, I just suggest you to establish an organizational structure and set up some positions. By the way, since it is an organization, it requires activity funds. I will donate 50,000 Piast as an ordinary member and fight against the local tyrants when I have time.

Ma Anyi, Wu Changming and others have money, and we are not begging alms. All the money will be spent on the edge, such as doing charity, and ultimately, it is helping them change their image to being rich and unkind."

He said ten words to others. Thinking that the Federation would no longer have to worry about funding in the future, A Shui couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is right. We are not for ourselves, but for everyone, for nearly one million overseas Chinese on the entire embankment."

"So we can be confident in asking for money."

Li Weimin smiled and suddenly changed his mind: "It is easy to beg for alms, but the key is how to make people willing to pay. I think the publicity should be done well, so that we should know that we are different from the Workers' Party and other scattered parties. At the same time, there is an essential difference from the Five Gangs of the Guild Hall. Otherwise, it would be better for others to donate money to other parties or to the Guild Hall.

We must make it clear to others that we are not interested in what kind of ideology we have, and if there is one, it is realism. We don’t want to carry out any revolution, we just want to save our lives, our lives, our relatives, and our friends. After all, Beijing cannot give us any help, and Taiwan cannot set up millions of overseas Chinese in the embankment and even all over Vietnam. We can only rely on ourselves!”

He Tianming said with emotion: "Teacher Qian thinks so too."

"This shows that our proposals can resonate with everyone. Today, I invite you to go to the city together. First, I want to use this time on the road to exchange and second, I consider that since it is a social group, there is a problem of legitimacy. We will meet someone later. This person is very important. If we can get his support, the future activities of the Federation will be protected by the government."

The French and Vietnamese authorities granted certain autonomy to overseas Chinese on the embankment. They can do whatever they want in the Chinese area of ​​the embankment, but they will be nothing after the embankment. Most of the embankment are overseas Chinese, and no matter how they promote it, they cannot change the image of overseas Chinese.

How can I go out and trouble He Tianming. When I learned the real intention of this trip, I immediately asked in surprise: "Mr. Li, you have been caring for us and trying every means to help us?"
