Zhou Li's seemingly unrelated words made Lin Ziran fall into deep thought.

What does he mean by that?

It's just that no one will be able to unify Nanhai Prefecture after Duke Meng?

Although this is true, why is it said at this time?

Unless......

Lin Ziran had a vague guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure that his guess was correct, so he said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Li did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "My lord, you should know a little about our bank, if someone unifies Nanhai Prefecture, what will happen to our Nanzhou Bank?" ”

Lin Ziran didn't have to think about this problem at all, any feudal town that unified Nanhai Prefecture would not hesitate to uproot Nanzhou Bank as soon as possible.

No matter how bad it is, it must be completely co-opted and make this bank a financial instrument under its command.

Either way, the Bank of Southern State will be completely changed, and even become history!

Because no ruler, not even Lin Ziran himself, would tolerate the existence of such a strange bank under his rule, not only a large arms dealer, but also a large number of armed himself, but also using the abundant funds and arms supplies to intervene in the battles of the various feudal towns or not, and obtain rich profits in this way.

It is not that such an enterprise cannot exist, but it must be under its own control and obey its own orders to exist.

If such enterprises were not under their control, then any feudal town would not hesitate to uproot them.

Lin Ziran didn't say anything, but Zhou Li saw it from his expression, and only listened to Zhou Li say: "Since Lord Lin can predict this result, others will naturally be able to predict it, such as the board of directors in our bank!" ”

"For the board, the current Nanhai state is the best Nanhai state, and anyone who tries to unify the Nanhai state will become the enemy of the board."

"The previous Luohai County guards all wanted to unify Nanhai Prefecture, but they sat on the most elite county in Nanhai Prefecture, and in the end, they all failed!"

"Cheng Lingfeng also tried to unify Nanhai Prefecture based on Luoguang County in his early years, and finally Guang'an County rebelled, in recent years, he has been trying to recover Guang'an County and reintegrate Luoguang County, and now, he even lost Luo'an County!"

"If Cheng Lingfeng hadn't been stubborn and insisted on reintegrating the two counties of Luoguang, he would still be able to do this county guard!"

Zhou Li continued to say slowly: "It's a pity that he insisted on integrating the two counties of Luoguang County, so Jian Minggang and Feng Haozhong successively became customers of the Nanzhou Bank, and during this war, the Nanzhou Bank provided at least five million ordnance loans to the feudal towns in Luo'an County. ”

"Because of the strategic position of Luo'an County, if Guang'an County is integrated based on Luo'an County, it will be enough to challenge the surrounding counties and even unify the entire Nanhai Prefecture."

"Now that Luohai County has been divided, do you think Lord Lin will let others unify Luohai County?"

Although Lin Ziran had already guessed a lot, he was still surprised when he heard Zhou Li say it himself.

This Nanzhou Bank did more than he expected!

Zhou Li continued: "Now Lord Lin should be able to rest assured, the business cooperation between our Nanzhou Bank and adults will not change because of some small things!" ”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly, according to Zhou Li's statement, then the cooperative relationship between himself and Nanzhou Bank should be able to last, and it will last for a long time.

Until you want to, and there is hope for the unification of Nanhai State!

Until then, he will become a potential partner of Nanzhou Bank, not only to cooperate, but even to get their support.

Just like Jian Minggang, Feng Haozhong, and Li Kun before.

Before Zhou Li, Lin Ziran personally wrote an approval note to him, so that Zhou Li's private business bank received a ration of 300 barrels of kerosene per month.

Zhou Li left satisfied.

Although outsiders don't say so, most people who have studied the situation in Nanhai Prefecture in depth can guess what role the Nanzhou Bank played in the civil unrest in Nanhai Prefecture.

Almost every war between feudal towns has the shadow of the Nanzhou Bank behind it, from the supply of ordnance to the direct provision of loans, the Nanzhou Bank not only made huge profits in the process, but also controlled the situation in the entire Nanhai Prefecture in its own hands.

This made Lin Ziran particularly curious, how did the management of Nanzhou Bank, especially those board members, survive to this day?

In particular, the county guard of Luohai County and other large feudal towns should have enough strength to take out the Nanzhou Bank, even if it can't be uprooted, it shouldn't be a problem to kill the Nanzhou Bank's local institutions.

The headquarters of Nanzhou Bank is in Luohai City, and it is only a matter of minutes to kill their headquarters for a feudal town.

But why didn't you kill it?

Lin Ziran guessed, but it was still difficult to figure out the details of Nanzhou Bank.

This Nanzhou Bank is full of weirdness.

But no matter how weird it is, it has nothing to do with him for the time being, and even in the early stage, he can still use Nanzhou Bank to develop and grow himself.

Nanzhou Bank doesn't want Nanhai Prefecture to be divided all the time, and doesn't want the big county of Luo'an County to be split, so it should support its own small feudal town, otherwise Jian Minggang or Feng Haozhong will unify Luo'an County.

In order to verify his idea, he soon found Zhou Li again, of course, this time it was not a private conversation, but a very formal conversation.

Lin Ziran plans to apply for a batch of loans from the Bank of Nanzhou, and the collateral is naturally part of the shares of Tsingshan Petroleum Company.

He didn't plan to apply too much, but only applied for 500,000 Hengyuan, and used 20% of the shares of Tsingshan Petroleum Company as collateral, and repaid it with interest after one year.

This loan is just a tentative, an attempt.

He wanted to verify his guess and confirm Zhou Li's statement.

As a result, although Nanzhou Bank did not directly agree, it did not directly refuse, but replied that it would send a special team to negotiate the loan.

Their reaction was the same as Lin Ziran's prediction, and it also confirmed Zhou Li's statement.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Ziran's first thought was not to be glad to be able to get the loan support of the Nanzhou Bank, but to have a strong sense of crisis.

After receiving the reply from the Nanzhou Bank, Lin Ziran thought about it for most of the night that night, and finally made up his mind and called Ding Quankun from Qingshan Town.

For a son of destiny who is determined to unify Nanhai Prefecture and even the entire Daheng and even the entire Blue Star, although he can cooperate with Nanzhou Bank at this stage, he will definitely turn his face with Nanzhou Bank in the future.

Now, he's going to prepare for a future turnaround.
