In the following time, in Tianhai Tower, Zhao Junchen and Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen successively finalized many details for the establishment of the United Shipping Company.

During this period, Zhao Junchen also made "major concessions" many times, and conceded more benefits to Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen.

For a while, the businessmen of Huizhou and Zhejiang only felt that their harvest was far higher than expected, and they were pleasantly surprised by Zhao Junchen's "generosity", and they were more and more eager for the establishment of the United Shipping Company.

After all the details were finalized, it was already night, and the night was getting darker and the moon was hanging on the branches outside the window.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed!

At this point, all the questions about the United Shipping Company were finally all settled.

In Zhao Junchen's view, things have developed to this point, and the joint shipping company he envisioned has been formally established, and all that is missing is a few inconsequential procedures.

The emergence of the United Ship Line will inevitably have a far-reaching impact on the pattern of the government and the opposition!

In this regard, Zhao Junchen has been arranging for a long time, and he firmly believes it!

*

In fact, the impact of United Shipping Company came faster than Zhao Junchen expected!

Under the temptation of interests thrown by Zhao Junchen, those Huizhejiang businessmen who were willing to join the United Shipping Company were all crazy!

On the night of this day, the doorman on duty in the Zhao Mansion completely lost the time to sleep, although it was already a thick night, but in front of the Zhao Mansion was still a scene of guests coming and going, busy traffic, there would be Hui and Zhejiang merchants coming to the Zhao Mansion to knock on the door, and all left their names, valuable gifts, and a large number of account books and letters - and these account books and letters are naturally used to expose the smuggling crime of information evidence!

The benefits promised by Zhao Junchen were too tempting, so after the banquet, the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang hurried back to their respective residences, and then frantically collected all the evidence that could be used to report, whether it was clearly known information or speculation that had not yet been determined, they all collected it and compiled it into a book as soon as possible, and then regardless of the late night, they immediately sent it to Zhao Junchen's house, hoping that Zhao Junchen could see his report information as soon as possible.

After all, as Zhao Junchen said, these Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen are experts in the smuggling business, they are well aware of the situation of the Yangtze River waterway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and they also know the recent situation of their peers.

Therefore, although the United Shipping Company has not yet been officially established, those Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen who want to join the United Shipping Company have begun to wait and rush to report their former peers!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it was too late, the businessmen of Huizhou and Zhejiang would have thought that Zhao Junchen had fallen asleep, and they would probably have visited Zhao Junchen in person and took the opportunity to have a secret conversation with Zhao Junchen.

In this way, because of the constant disturbance of the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang, the concierge of the Zhao Mansion was completely unable to sleep that night.

However, for this situation, the concierge of Zhao Mansion did not have any dissatisfaction, but was ecstatic - the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang are all rich and rich giants, and they can hand over the letter to Zhao Junchen as soon as possible in order to report their letters, and they are all extremely atmospheric, and everyone stuffed a full amount of red envelopes to the concierge of Zhao Mansion, a total of thirty-seven red envelopes add up, which is enough to have thousands of taels of silver!

Although, according to the rules of the Zhao Mansion, most of these red envelopes must be handed over to the account office, and some must be distributed to the Zhao Mansion stewards, but the remaining silver is still a full three or five hundred taels of silver, which is definitely an astronomical amount for the Zhao Mansion gatekeeper!

Therefore, for the disturbance of the merchants of Huizhou and Zhejiang, the concierge of Zhao Mansion not only did not get bored, but expected that this situation would happen every night! For the concierge of the Zhao Mansion, exchanging a few hundred taels of silver for a night's sleep is a lucrative deal no matter how it is calculated!

Moreover, when the concierge of Zhao Mansion received the red envelope, he was indeed at ease, because he did give priority to Zhao Junchen according to the request of those Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen, and gave priority to Zhao Junchen the famous posts, report brochures, and valuable gifts they sent, without any delay.

Because, although it was already night, Zhao Junchen did not rest at all!

……

Just when the businessmen of Huizhou and Zhejiang were scrambling to report their former colleagues to Zhao Junchen, in the study of Zhao Mansion at this time, Zhao Junchen's staff were also busy.

After all, although the businessmen of Huizhou and Zhejiang are enthusiastic, but because their reports are too hurried, there is no advance preparation and detailed investigation, so although there are a lot of content in their reports, they are also too messy and trivial, and they are completely thinking of what they want to add to what, whether it is the real situation or speculation in their hearts, they are all mixed together, which makes people dazzled.

In addition, there are many duplicate and even contradictory contents in the reports of Huizhou and Zhejiang businessmen, which is a headache to watch!

So, under the instructions of Zhao Junchen, all the reporting materials were sorted out by the staff and summarized in one place.

In this way, the reported smugglers' family income, smuggling scale, smuggling channels, backers, relationship networks, etc., are all clear at a glance.

While the staff were busy sorting out the report materials, Zhao Junchen was sitting on the back of the chair with a tired face, sometimes drinking tea slowly with a tea cup, and sometimes closing his eyes to recuperate and accumulate energy.

After all, Zhao Junchen has been busy for a whole day, and there is no rest for a moment! Especially when discussing the details of the establishment of the joint shipping company with the businessmen of Huizhou and Zhejiang, for more than two hours, Zhao Junchen has been turning his brain, thinking about countermeasures, and has never stopped talking, and now he is naturally exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, and his mouth is dry.

Therefore, while the staff sorted out the report materials, Zhao Junchen also took the opportunity to rest for a while.

However, Zhao Junchen's current staff team is very capable and efficient, so Zhao Junchen did not rest for too long.

Just after this night, all the report materials have been summarized and sent to Zhao Junchen.

This information is so important that it is directly related to the success or failure of Zhao Junchen in the future, so Zhao Junchen did not have any delay, nor did he care about the physical and mental exhaustion, and immediately opened the brochure and reviewed it in detail.

After a long time, Zhao Junchen finally finished reading the thick booklet, and after closing the booklet, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Junchen's mouth.

"Walking on thin ice has been running for so long, and finally ......," Zhao Junchen muttered to himself, "I finally control my future destiny......"

*

In fact, Zhao Junchen asked those merchants in Huizhou and Zhejiang to expose the smuggling crimes of their peers, rapidly expand the market share of the United Shipping Company, and curb the smuggling activities of the people as soon as possible, all of which are only superficial purposes!

But Zhao Junchen's real purpose is to use the evidence of these smugglers to take the opportunity to grasp the evidence of those smugglers bribing officials from all walks of life!

At that time, there will be countless officials who are corrupt and bribe-taking and participating in smuggling into the hands of Zhao Junchen, and after Zhao Junchen gets these criminal evidence, he will naturally be able to "prosper and perish those who follow me"!

Smuggling was rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the officials were secretly involved in smuggling merchants, or accepted bribes from smugglers, or directly participated in smuggling activities, so Zhao Junchen could take the opportunity to grasp the evidence of most officials.

Then, based on these incriminating evidence, Zhao Junchen can control the fate of half of the officials in the imperial court! At that time, even the situation of the entire temple will be controlled by Zhao Junchen!

That's why Zhao Junchen said that he finally mastered his future destiny!

When Zhao Junchen reaches this step, even if Emperor Deqing wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge in the future, even if Zhou Shangjing's intentions are ill-intentioned, even if it is Shen Changmao's strong hostility, Zhao Junchen will not be powerless to resist!

Now, although he has only mastered part of it, Zhao Junchen's plans can already begin!
