By the time Li Tianyang and their scheduled council day arrived, none of the 59 members of the entire Nanyang Chamber of Commerce had failed, and all of them appeared in the empty hall of the Keelung Town Government Building, which was specially used for ordinary meetings.

And one of the most impressive points is that of the 59 member representatives, 51 of the proprietors came in person, and most of the remaining eight also dispatched the young proprietors or immediate family members of their own businesses.

Even the Sulu royal family of Medan, which was not originally among the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, sent one of their princes to participate in the dividend sharing meeting.

"First of all, I want to welcome everyone's arrival, this time we Hongmen was negligent, so that everyone has problems in accommodation and other issues, here on behalf of Hongmen, I would like to express my sincere apologies to everyone!!"

As soon as Li Tianyang came to power, the first thing he wanted to do was to apologize to everyone, because of their negligence, in the last few days before the meeting began, several unpleasant things happened, although in the end Hongmen quickly remedied it and arranged for many members who had not found a place to live to move into their temporary resettlement site, but for Li Tianyang, it was indeed their own problem.

"But now everyone is in the same boat, I don't want everyone to have conflicts because of this little thing, they are all businessmen, and we will make money together in the future for a long time, and we can't be angry, right?"

As soon as the words changed, Li Tianyang's whole person became very majestic again, making everyone present feel a compelling domineering.

In today's Hongmen, who dares to turn a deaf ear to what Li Tianyang said, not to mention that now everyone is a person who leans on the shade under the big tree of Li Tianyang's Hongmen, and it is self-evident how much benefit everyone has gained from each other.

"Since the first day of September in the fourth year of Chongzhen, we have jointly proposed the establishment of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and more than two years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"In this short but long period of time, our chamber of commerce has made great achievements: the Medan mine jointly opened by everyone has now reached more than 50,000 people, and now the amount of gold mined a month has reached 20,000 taels!"

"At the same time, we have developed a total of 742 farms in the Luzon Islands, with a total of more than 220,000 acres of fields and more than 100,000 acres of fruit trees and forests!"

“…………”

Li Tianyang first delivered a speech on the stage, and as the president, he summed up the achievements of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the past two years.

As the saying goes, if you don't know if you don't know, you may have an understanding of your own foundation in the Luzon Islands, and at the same time you have an understanding of the overall scale of the Medan mine that you are focusing on, but when Li Tianyang detailed the overall layout of the entire Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the Luzon Islands into numbers, all the members and proprietors present were a little surprised.

To have such a scale as it is now, in fact, it is thanks to the blessing of Hongmen to defeat the Spanish colonists, since the Spaniards were driven out of the Luzon Islands by Hongmen, most of Luzon has fallen into the hands of Hongmen.

As the wooden stick in the hands of the Spaniards to deal with the Hongmen and the overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, the local capitals of Luzon have become the objects of anger of the overseas Chinese in the Ming Dynasty, and have also become a good way for the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to recover their losses.

The Nanyang Chamber of Commerce drank the Ming Dynasty overseas Chinese organization team to brutally suppress the local rabbit spirit, and at the same time enslaved it as their own labor, anyway, outside the control of the Ming Dynasty, the Confucian literati of the Ming Dynasty were nothing more than the joy of learning about this, so the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and the Ming Dynasty overseas Chinese used this group of hated natives as free livestock.

For example, nearly 40,000 of the more than 50,000 laborers in the Medan mines were indigenous people who were enslaved from the Luzon Islands.

Not to mention that there are more than 700 manors, which also need a large population, just from the Ming Dynasty to migrate the population, where is it possible?

After Li Tianyang sprinkled and spent half an hour to report the achievements made by the entire Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the past two years, after listening to the ears of the members of the Chamber of Commerce present, everyone felt more that the choice they made at the beginning was not wrong, and they were proud to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Subsequently, Li Tianyang also cited many contradictions and disputes between members of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time criticized several chambers of commerce that did not do things properly, so that the owners of several businesses that were named were all worthy of it, and also made many other Dongzhi people with bad intentions solemn and think carefully about what changes will be made in the future.

"Okay, these are the achievements and shortcomings of our Chamber of Commerce in the past two years, and as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I can be regarded as giving you an explanation."

Li Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, he planted this wicker unintentionally, but now it is gradually growing up, Li Tianyang wants to say that there is no pride, it is impossible.

Of course, behind the thriving growth of the Chamber of Commerce, the fertile soil built by blood and corpses, although Li Tianyang was not happy, he never stopped it, and even took the initiative to pave a smooth road for the growth of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, Li Tianyang did not regret it, the road of capital expansion was originally full of many thorns, blood and exploitation, Li Tianyang thought that he was a son and daughter of China, and would not impose it on the children of the Ming Dynasty, who were also descendants of Yan and Huang, but he was not a bad person, because the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce stopped their unscrupulous acts because of what the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce did to the natives of Luzon.

Even in Li Tianyang's eyes, these are the Luzon natives to blame, Wanli 30 years they innocently slaughtered the Ming Dynasty overseas Chinese, Chongzhen five years under the instigation of the Spaniards to commit all kinds of crimes against the Ming Dynasty overseas Chinese, now they have all suffered, it is just a reward for the impermanence of heaven.

"Next, it is the long-awaited climax, we have asked Lu Jiajie, the person in charge of the Medan Mine of the Chamber of Commerce, to report to us how much gold and silver have been produced in the past two years!"

In the midst of the applause, the Chamber of Commerce enthusiastically sent off Li Tianyang, the president, and ushered in Lu Jiajie, the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Luzon.

Lu Jiajie has now become the head of the Chamber of Commerce in the Luzon Islands Council, and he is better than the blue, compared to his father Lu Bingyan, who is only the shopkeeper of Yuegang Defuxuan in his life, and now it can be said that he is no longer on the same level.

Dressed capably, now a little thinner, and a little darker middle-aged Lu Jiajie, leisurely stood on the podium of the conference hall, after a salute and cleared his throat, he began to talk about the output growth of the mine in the past two years, the increase in costs, etc.
