Zhou Zhong took the opportunity of the return of the fleet to finally publicize the news of the guarantee for the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce and the shipper, which caused a huge sensation on the spot, not only the people of the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce were happy about it, but the shippers also found that this was also good news for them after thinking about it for a long time.

In addition, Zhou Zhong also announced that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has been fully prepared, as long as there is an interested chamber of commerce, you can immediately register in the chamber of commerce, and then the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will send someone to investigate. As a result, as soon as the news came out, those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce all ran to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's residence, vying to make their chamber of commerce the first to be recognized.

In addition to those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, those cargo owners also began to leave the port one after another, but they did not go to the station of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but went to the direction of the Beigang Tea House, and if they wanted to hand over their goods to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, they had to go there to register. Although the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is now willing to guarantee those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, they still believe in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce the most, so these shippers also want to sign a contract with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, so that the fleet of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce can escort their goods.

It is precisely because those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce and shippers are desperately trying to sign up first, so Sanniang and Uncle Huo, who are in charge of these two things, have to give up their plans to catch the wind for Sun Tong, and have been busy with this matter since noon, and they have not been able to get out of it at night.

The next morning, before Zhou Zhong woke up from his hangover, he felt his nose pinched. This familiar action is so heavy that you don't need to guess at all. It must have been Xie Lingyun who came here early in the morning. Because when he was at the port yesterday, he found that Xie Lingyun seemed to have something to say to himself, but he never found the opportunity.

I saw Zhou Chong, who had his eyes closed, stretched out his arm and wanted to hold Xie Lingyun in his arms as before, but unfortunately Xie Lingyun had been prepared for a long time, and he dodged it gently, and at the same time let out a silver bell-like laugh, which made Zhou Chong open his eyes helplessly. I just saw Xie Lingyun's happy smile.

"I know that you are coming, do you want to ask me about guaranteeing the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce?" Zhou Zhong sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes and said to Xie Lingyun with a smile

"Humph! Do you still ask? Xie Lingyun's face changed when she heard this, and she said very unhappily, "I didn't expect your Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to make such a big move quietly, and at once pull most of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in the entire Shuangyu Port over, so that Sister Feiyun and I will also look at your face in the future!" ”

Seeing Xie Lingyun's unhappy appearance, Zhou Chong smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the other party's waist. As a result, Xie Lingyun screamed in fright, struggled a few times but failed to break free. After the end, he finally gave up his resistance, leaned softly into Zhou Chong's arms and stopped talking.

Feeling Xie Lingyun's soft and delicate body, Zhou Chong said softly: "What else do we divide with each other, and at the beginning of this plan, I have already included your plan, that is, the three of us will jointly act as a guarantee and unite the smuggling chambers of commerce in the entire Shuangyu Port, so that we can do bigger and stronger, but this matter still needs the consent of you and Sister Feiyun!" ”

Xie Lingyun heard that Zhou Zhong did not plan to go it alone, but had already included their plans, which made her a little surprised and surprised. However, when she heard Zhou Chong's words, she couldn't help but be shocked by Zhou Chong's ambitions, although they had the support of Xie Qian and other high-ranking officials in the imperial court behind their Xie family, they never thought of unifying Shuangyu Port, but Zhou Chong, who had only been in Shuangyu Port for half a year, not only thought about it, but even started to act.

I saw Xie Lingyun biting her lip and hesitating for a moment, and finally spoke: "Xianggong, your idea is indeed very good, if the three of us join forces to act as a guarantor for those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, in this way, we can take this opportunity to eliminate dissent, and at the same time control most of the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce around us, but I want to ask Xianggong, what is your purpose in doing this?" ”

Zhou Zhong was also stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "What is the purpose of this, of course, it is to increase our strength, after all, the smuggling industry is respected by strength, only our strength is stronger, and even completely unify the entire Shuangyu Port, so that there will never be any more things about the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce before!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Xie Lingyun shook his head with some distress, then looked directly into Zhou Chong's eyes, and said seriously: "Xianggong, haven't you thought that if we unify Shuangyu Port, then we will become the king of the sea, and we have ships and people in our hands, many of whom are men who dare to fight, what a powerful force this will be, don't you think this is a huge threat to the imperial court?" ”

"Boom~" Zhou Chong only felt that he was struck by a lightning bolt in his head, no wonder the Xie family and the Hong family Chamber of Commerce have such a powerful backer behind them, but after so many years, they still only occupy half of Shuangyu Port, and they do not mean to unify Shuangyu Port, it turns out that it is not that they don't want to, but they are afraid of the reaction of the imperial court, so they dare not unify Shuangyu Port.

Seeing Zhou Chong's appearance, Xie Lingyun also knew that he should understand what he meant, and then added: "In fact, as early as a few years ago, my father and Sister Feiyun's father already had the strength to unify Shuangyu Port, but you also know that my clan uncle and those court officials around him were worried that after we unified Shuangyu Port, we would inevitably have a large number of ships and manpower in our hands, and then we would simply be the overlords of the sea, and it would not be easy for them to control us, so they warned the two of us early. That is, Shuangyu Port must not be unified, otherwise they will use the power of the imperial court to clean it up! ”

Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Zhou Zhongzhong was even more shocked, only to see him think for a moment before he spoke: "Lingyun, Xie Qian and those people just warned you that the two chambers of commerce cannot unify Shuangyu Port, I think they mainly just use your two chambers of commerce as a tool to make money, because they are worried that your strength will be too big and out of their control, so they will make such a warning, but the current situation is completely different, I have nothing to do with Xie Qian's people, and they have unified the pace of Shuangyu Port, if you don't get involved." , in the end, it will only be eliminated by Shuangyu Port, I think Xie Qian's people are also smart people, after seeing this situation, they will definitely let you participate! ”

When he said this, Zhou Chong paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, Xie Qian, these people were severely suppressed by Liu Jin, and now they only have the power to protect themselves, so now they should have no time to pay attention to Shuangyu Port at all, even if Liu Jin falls in the future, I am afraid that they will not be able to regain the lost power, so they are powerless to Shuangyu Port now, even if we do something excessive, I'm afraid they don't have any way!" ”

I saw Xie Lingyun lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally nodded lightly and said: "Xianggong's analysis is good, my clan uncle is indeed difficult to protect himself now, and the influence of the DPRK and China is also weakening, and the control of our two chambers of commerce has also been reduced to the minimum, plus Xianggong's plan to unify Shuangyu Port has begun to be implemented, they are powerless to suppress it, and they can only let us participate in the end, so as to ensure that we are not eliminated, and at the same time, we can also ensure their interests in smuggling, Looks like I need to talk to Sister Feiyun and my father about it! ”

Seeing that Xie Lingyun also agreed with his analysis, Zhou Zhong was also very happy, and immediately discussed with Xie Lingyun about the cooperation of the three small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. In comparison, Xie Lingyun is much more professional than Zhou in business, and at her suggestion, Zhou Zhong decided to form a professional smuggling group with the three chambers of commerce as the core, and temporarily named this smuggling group "Haimeng".

In Xie Lingyun and Zhou Chong's planning, the core strength of the Haimeng is naturally Zhouzhong's Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce and the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce are also one of the core chambers of commerce, and they also have a great voice within the Haimeng. In addition to their three core chambers of commerce, those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce that want to cooperate with cargo owners in smuggling must be approved by the alliance, and then after a series of investigations, it is possible to join the alliance.

In fact, the investigation process of the Strait Alliance is also the process of eliminating dissidents by them, and those chambers of commerce that obey the Strait Alliance can naturally join the Strait Alliance, and then get the opportunity to cooperate in smuggling, but those chambers of commerce that are unwilling to obey the Strait Alliance will naturally be excluded from the Strait Alliance, thus losing the opportunity to cooperate in smuggling, and the only thing left for them in the end is bankruptcy.

In addition, in Zhouzhong's plan, the Strait Alliance is still a non-governmental organization that regulates smuggling activities, and the current smuggling operation is too chaotic, and there is no difference between pirates and maritime merchants at all, and there is often a large fleet annexing a small fleet on the sea, which not only increases the risk of smuggling, but also is not conducive to the development of smuggling, so after the establishment of the Strait League, Zhou Chongji promulgated a series of laws and regulations on smuggling, so that the entire smuggling industry can be standardized, so that he can maximize his interests.

Of course, the Haimeng is still just a plan in Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun's minds, and now they have to do another problem, that is, the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce and Xie Lingyun's father, let them agree to the three chambers of commerce together, this matter depends on Xie Lingyun, after all, only she can convince Hong Feiyun and the two.

And just when Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun had just finished discussing the affairs of the Haimeng, suddenly Wang Jinxuan broke in from outside the door and shouted with joy: "Brother Zhou, good news, Liu Jinhe ......"

Before Wang Jinxuan finished speaking, she saw Xie Lingyun and Zhou Chong who were still hugging each other in the room, and as a result, her whole person was stunned all of a sudden, and her face was full of expressions of bewilderment. (To be continued......)
