After Xie Lingyun listened to Aunt Shui's report about Zhou Chong, although she looked very calm on the surface, she was actually turbulent in her heart. The previous incident of the Beigang Tea House had already exposed Zhou Chong's talent in business, but she didn't expect that it was only a few days, and Zhou Chong was ready to reform the smuggling model that had been inherited for hundreds of years, and in her opinion, if Zhou Chong was really done, then the day when the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would dominate Shuangyu Port would not be far off.

"Okay, I know what to do, Aunt Shui, you go out of Lu first!" Xie Lingyun waved his hand a little weakly.

However, after Aunt Shui heard Xie Lingyun's words, she did not leave immediately, but still said: "Miss, now that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has not yet developed, it is the best time for us to suppress it, and even if there is a chance, we will directly ...... Zhou Chong."

"Enough!" Before Aunt Shui's words were finished, she was interrupted by Xie Lingyun sharply, "Aunt Shui, I know that you often help my father deal with some tricky things, and you are also very valued by my father, but now the Chamber of Commerce is presided over by me, I am different from my father, and I will use my own way to solve the troubles encountered by the Chamber of Commerce, and I don't need others to teach me!" ”

It was the first time for Aunt Shui to see the always gentle Xie Lingyun getting so angry, and she was also frightened and bowed her head and kept silent.

I saw that after Xie Lingyun reprimanded Aunt Shui, she quickly calmed down, and at this time she also felt that her tone was a little heavy, so she spoke again: "Aunt Shui, I was a little confused in my heart just now, and the tone of my speech was a little heavy, I hope you don't take it to heart!" ”

"The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid's life was given by the Xie family, and she should think about the Xie family everywhere, so please think twice!" Although Aunt Shui was afraid that Xie Lingyun would be angry, she did not change her mind at all, and still persuaded Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun also knew that Aunt Shui was an old man beside her father, and her brain was more stubborn than anyone else, so she didn't get angry anymore after hearing this, but nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I know the Dao, Aunt Shui, go out of the road, let me be alone for a while!" ”

Aunt Shui saw that her young lady still didn't give her a clear answer, she wanted to say something, but seeing Xie Lingyun's expression that she didn't want to listen anymore, she couldn't help but sigh, and then quietly exited Xie Lingyun's bedroom and gently closed the door.

Just after Aunt Shui left, Xie Lingyun's whole body suddenly went soft, as if she had lost all her strength all at once. After a long while, I saw her gently prop up her right arm on the table, her white and tender little hand supporting her cheeks, and her eyes turned to the window, but there was no focus in her beautiful eyes, obviously thinking about something.

At the beginning, Xie Lingyun told him about the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in order to get the soap making method in Zhou Chong's hands, and promised Zhou Zhong that he would help him regain control of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the reason why Xie Lingyun made this promise to Zhou Zhong was not just to get the formula of the soap, but to have a deeper plan.

Since Zhou Hai's accident, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has no leader, and the Chamber of Commerce has been divided into three parts, but at this time, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce still holds one-third of the port income of Beigang, plus shipyards and some familiar shipwrights, these are an immeasurable wealth, so as long as there is a powerful Chamber of Commerce in Shuangyu Port, almost all of them are eyeing the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that some people are bold and thick-skinned, such as the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, the Sangizumi Chamber of Commerce and the Ise Chamber of Commerce, they directly coerce Sanniang and Uncle Camel, hoping to receive the profits of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Although the other major chambers of commerce did not directly do it, they were not greedy, and they had even begun to prepare secretly.

It was also in this situation that Xie Lingyun told Zhou Zhong about the situation of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and promised to help him take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, in fact, he did not have any good intentions, but had his own plans.

In Xie Lingyun's opinion, no matter how talented Zhou Zhong is, but after all, he is just a scholar, even if he relies on the help of their Xie family to temporarily take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but he definitely does not have the ability to lead a badly injured Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, especially the other forces in Beigang are also eyeing the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, under this kind of internal and external difficulties, Zhou Zhong can only ask them for help again. Then in this case, Xie Lingyun can use some means to slowly override the old men such as Zhou Zhong and Sanniang, and take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce effortlessly.

It can be said that Xie Lingyun's plan to take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through Zhou Zhong was almost seamless, and even in order to achieve this plan, she deliberately got very close to Zhou Chong, which made many people misunderstand the relationship between the two of them. The advantage of this is that Zhou Zhong and the people around him will let down their guard against her, and they will be the first to think of asking her for help when they encounter difficulties. For example, when Zhou Chong first took over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Sanniang proposed to Zhou Chong to borrow money from Xie Lingyun, which shows how perfect Xie Lingyun's plan is.

But Xie Lingyun miscalculated, after Zhou Chong came to Shuangyu Port, what he did was not at all like a scholar who only knew the Tao, at the beginning when they jointly destroyed the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Chong actually killed several people with his own hands, in order to establish his prestige, which already made Xie Lingyun faintly uneasy.

After the incident, Xie Lingyun was even more surprised, Zhou Chong not only quickly stabilized the hearts of the Chamber of Commerce, but also reformed some of the business of the Chamber of Commerce, the reform of the Beigang Tea House has fully demonstrated Zhou Chong's business talent, and now divides the shares of the Chamber of Commerce, not only for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to raise a lot of funds, but also to tie He Xian to the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, which once again shows Zhou Chong's courage and shrewdness.

However, what shocked Xie Lingyun the most was that Zhou Zhong had also reformed the traditional mode of smuggling, if he really did it, then the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would definitely increase its business and become the overlord of Shuangyu Port.

Seeing Zhou Chong's series of actions, Xie Lingyun already understood that her plan to take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through Zhou Chong was completely bankrupt, and she even supported an extremely strong opponent with her own hands. It is no exaggeration to say that after the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce grows up again, it is not impossible to annex their Xie family in turn.

Thinking of these, Xie Lingyun, who was holding a fragrant cheek with one hand, couldn't help but sigh softly, the smuggling industry was already chaotic, their Xie family was able to go so far, and became one of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port, I don't know how many competitors were defeated before, and the means used were both bright and dark, and some were even unsightly. Although she hadn't experienced this, she had also heard Aunt Shui talk about it.

The rise of Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has seriously threatened the interests of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce, and the Xie family has encountered this situation more than once before. In addition, Zhou Chong's business talent is also one of the reasons why the Xie family is very scheming? That's why Aunt Shui suggested to Xie Lingyun to deal with it as soon as possible, and even used some extraordinary means to get rid of Zhou Chong, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

But maybe because of being a young girl, Xie Lingyun's personality is not as ruthless as her father and Aunt Shui, if she suppresses Zhou Chong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through normal means, she may not hesitate to do it, but now it is difficult for Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to suppress it by normal means, and the best way is to remove the core figure of Zhou Chong, which makes Xie Lingyun instinctively repulsed in her heart.

In fact, even Xie Lingyun herself didn't find out that through this period of getting along, she deliberately maintained a superficial intimate relationship with Zhou Chong, coupled with Zhou Chong's amazing performance during this time, which had surprised her countless times, which made her have a very complicated feeling for Zhou Chong. Of course, this kind of relationship is not much about the love between men and women, but a very hazy curiosity and heartbeat, so when she heard Aunt Shui suggest to do something to Zhou, she reacted so fiercely.

Just when Xie Lingyun was worried about Zhou Chong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Chong didn't notice the Xie family's vigilance against him, and even he didn't know what to do, it turned out that Xie Lingyun helped him to take over the entire Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through him, after all, whether it was in his previous life or now, he was not a conspirator, let alone a city like Xie Lingyun, so he naturally didn't know anything about these things, and even he was grateful to Xie Lingyun, although the other party's city government made him dislike it very much, but he was a good business partner.

Speaking of which, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the matter of the Chamber of Commerce's shares has been completed, just waiting for He Xian and them to send the silver. After the adjustment of Sanniang, Uncle Camel and Sun Tong, the Chamber of Commerce has slowly put itself on the right track, as soon as the money arrives, they will immediately start recruiting people to build ships, so that the Chamber of Commerce can recover its strength as soon as possible. And Zhou Chong has been away from home for a long time, if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid Aunt Wang and Bang'er should be suspicious.

So in the next few days, Zhou Chong will arrange things in the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to Sanniang in charge of the finances of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong also asked her to send people to Daming to recruit some shipbuilding craftsmen, although most of the ships needed in the Chamber of Commerce are built from the shipyards in Daming, but Zhou Zhong feels that the number of ships needed for smuggling is huge, there is no need to give money to others, and it is best for his Chamber of Commerce to have a shipyard on a large scale.

Uncle Camel has nothing to explain there, it is nothing more than the reform of the Beigang teahouse to continue to be implemented, and it is best to expand the area of the teahouse, after all, with the rise of the transaction volume in Beigang, the guests in the Beigang teahouse have also increased several times, and the teahouse is really a little crowded.

The last and most critical thing is Sun Tong, Zhou Zhong gave him an important task, that is, to recruit and train shipwrights, after all, in the future, it is not enough to have a ship, there must be a corresponding shipwright to drive the ship. Of course, it is not easy to train a qualified shipwright, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he will not do these things immediately, but just let them prepare.

After explaining the things in the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong can finally go home for the New Year with confidence, I believe that when he comes back after the New Year, He Xian's silver should also be delivered, plus Sanniang They are ready, and then it is time for him to do a big job!
