"I also know what everyone's worries are, but since I invite you to come to discuss this time, I naturally hope to be able to provide you with a reasonable solution." Li Tianyang threw two pies in a row to everyone here, if it can't impress everyone to spend, then it can only be said that these businessmen are too adventurous and enterprising.

"In fact, the strength of the various businesses here should not be underestimated, but there has never been a strong enemy and opponent before, which can unite everyone and deal with them together; And now there is a big Buddha machine man in front of everyone, the previous solo is no longer suitable for the navigation activities of this era, we should also learn from the advanced experience of Westerners, form a consortium, everyone together to go south and east, and earn enough money from Westerners, Japanese and Koreans!! ”

Li Tianyang's words were sonorous and powerful, which was also something he had always wanted to do for a long time, the Dutch used the power of a country to establish their East India Company; Behind the Spanish and Portuguese merchants, there was also the support of their whole country and the establishment of their federation; Only they are the Ming people, fighting for themselves, with a huge trade system, but without an overall plan, they have been targeted by Westerners in various ways, and there are no longer a few losses to suffer.

The imperial court can't count on it, after all, many of the Haike groups here are smuggling groups themselves, and they have been Amitabha Buddha for a long time if they have not been pursued by the government, let alone support them!

"What the Admiral said is true, have you suffered less in the hands of Westerners over the years? Is there less humiliation from them? If we all unite, how can they Westerners dare to bully us at will!! Li Tianyang's words resonated among the Haike gang, and one Haike stood up and shouted loudly with an excited expression.

Li Tianyang vaguely remembered that this seafarer representative was a gang with good strength in the Nanyang trade, and most of its own business and business scope were in the Luzon Islands, but there were relatively few in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, listening to Li Tianyang's speech, the owners of this sea passenger ship thought about the massacre of the Ming people by the Spaniards twenty or thirty years ago, and then thought about the targeting and prevention of the Ming Dynasty merchants near Manila now, and naturally had a lot of emotion in their hearts.

"Yes, we should all join forces, they have an East India Company in Hongmaoyi, and there is a federation of Franc Jiren in Xiangshan Ao, we are all here together, and we will set up a consortium together, advance and retreat together, communicate with each other, it is better than being bullied by foreigners all the time!" Other representatives of businessmen and proprietors were moved, and many of them immediately expressed their support.

Li Tianyang's eyes flickered, he was very satisfied, he paid so much, naturally he also hoped to have a good result, if he could really establish a consortium at this moment, then with the strength of Hongmen and its influence in the sea frontier, even if he could not dominate this consortium, he could also become a pivotal part of it.

"That's a good point, it's just that everyone is rarely gathered here, why not discuss the big plan together and join forces?" Li Tianyang was no longer silent at this time, and immediately stood up on behalf of Hongmen and said: "If I am fortunate enough to be able to reach the intention of a consortium today, then I, Hongmen, will be a firm defender of this consortium!" ”

“………… Count me in! The owner of the Luzon passenger ship who had expressed his stance in front stood up at the same time, echoing Li Tianyang's proposal.

"I'm mad shark and I'm willing to advance and retreat with Hongmen!" Gan Xingzhi has always been watching Li Tianyang's various actions coldly, and at this time, seeing that the situation has been under Li Tianyang's control, he added a handful of firewood to this hot oil pot to make this flame a foot higher.

"Jirentang is willing to advance and retreat with everyone!"

"I'm looking forward to cooperating with all of you!"

After carefully considering the pros and cons in their hearts, the proprietors of each business quickly made a decision, only those who were only the representatives of the business had been hesitant in their hearts, and did not dare to make such a major decision for their own business gang.

However, when they saw that more and more merchants and gangs had responded to Hongmende's call, these representatives had to make a ruthless decision and express their opinions on behalf of the proprietors of their own businesses, who were not present.

At this time, if you don't advance and retreat with Hongmen and support their proposal, it is very likely that the two flatbreads that Hongmen painted for everyone before will not have the share of their own business name Haibang, and they will inevitably be reprimanded by the leader of the proprietor when they go back.

It can be said that it is the result of almost all the responses, and Li Tianyang's intention to establish a maritime consortium in Keelung Town has reached an intention, including Hongmen and Shark, and a total of 59 maritime gang businesses in Keelung Town today have become the first batch of intended members of this consortium.

Because of the reason for the unity of everyone, the Spaniards from Nanyang and the gold, land and other resources on the island, so with the unanimous consent of everyone, the name of this consortium was named "Nanyang Chamber of Commerce"!

One of the first things the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce did was to establish a preliminary constitution of the Chamber of Commerce to serve as a standard of conduct for daily business.

For the formulation of the constitution of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, there are actually many references, whether it is the Bengang Alliance on Dayuan Island, or the major merchant gangs in the Ming Dynasty: Chao Shang, Hui Shang, Jin Shang, in fact, there are some strict regulations that can be referred to.

The representatives of the winter solstice families, who were originally going to return to their homes the next day as planned, stayed in Keelung Town, Hongmen for more than a week, and then they could be regarded as setting a total of 48 articles of Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

And the first president of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, not surprisingly, was held by Li Tianyang, who made Hongmen not only the initiator of the Chamber of Commerce, but also the most qualified and powerful member of the members here, and from the exchanges that have been all the time, Hongmen has never broken his promise, and he is the nominal leader of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone can accept it.

Anyway, although this Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is a consortium, because of its initial establishment, in fact, this president does not have much power and status, and there is not much restriction on everyone's daily business activities.

At the same time, under the leadership of Hongmen, the next negotiations with the Spaniards in Luzon were determined.

Merchants are businessmen after all, and the first thing they think of to solve problems is never force, but to hope that they can first make a preliminary contact with the Spaniards and reach a contract that they are all satisfied with, which is naturally the best.

Even after the establishment of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce at this time, its own strength was much stronger than that of the Spaniards in Luzon in terms of numbers, but they still hoped that peace would be precious, and they could coexist peacefully with each other and jointly develop the Luzon Islands.
