In the hall of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong and Sanniang sat there, Bai Junwan, who was wearing a long skirt, held the account book in her hand, and was reporting to the two of them about the situation of the Chamber of Commerce during this time: "Since the Chamber of Commerce launched the business of helping shippers transport goods, the trading center has received a total of twenty-three commodities of different values, including silk, porcelain and cotton, and the specific matters have been negotiated with these shippers, and now they are waiting for our Chamber of Commerce to receive and load the goods, and then they will send people to board the ship together to supervise the transaction process of our Chamber of Commerce." ”

After Bai Junwan arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Chong wanted her to help Sanniang settle the accounts, but she didn't expect Bai Junwan to work hard and learn things quickly, which made Sanniang very satisfied with Bai Junwan, a well-informed lady, so he took her with him, not only to manage financial matters, but also to let her participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce, it seems that she wants to train a capable assistant for Zhou Chong.

Zhou Zhong heard that the new business of the Chamber of Commerce had only been launched for a few days, and he had already received more than 20 orders, which made him stand up excitedly, and walked back and forth in the hall a few times, before stopping and asking Sanniang: "Sanniang, how is the fleet in the Chamber of Commerce prepared, when can it be loaded and set sail?" ”

Seeing Zhou Chong's anxious look, Sanniang smiled and said: "Sun Tong has been staying in the fleet to prepare for the past few days, I also went there this morning to ask, and he assured me that he could start loading tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that he will be able to set sail the day after tomorrow, this time he arranged a total of ten big ships to go together, the destination is Luzon and Champang, although the price of goods sold there is lower than that of Java and Manchurian countries, but it is not far behind." In addition, it is not far from our Daming. It also takes less time. It can make our chamber of commerce earn a lot of money in the shortest possible time! ”

"Good! That's great! Sanniang, you tell Sun Tong again, let him personally lead the team this time, there must be no mistakes, as long as this first batch of business is completed, then other people who are watching will definitely come to the door, and our Chamber of Commerce will no longer worry about the transportation of goods! When Zhou Zhong said this, his face was full of excitement.

Since the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce launched the business of helping shippers transport goods to overseas transactions in the Beigang Trading Center, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the entire Shuangyu Port. Especially among the shippers who transported Daming's goods to Shuangyu Port for trading, they were very excited about this new business, but they were afraid of taking risks, so except for a few bold shippers who cooperated with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, most of the others were on the sidelines.

In addition to those cargo owners, the new business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has also had a huge impact on other smugglers in the whole Shuangyu Port, such as the most significant point, that many wait-and-see cargo owners no longer sell their goods, but hoard goods, intending to see what happens next. If things are really as good as the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce describes, then they will immediately take the goods and cooperate with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

Cargo owners are reluctant to sell. Naturally, other smugglers in Shuangyu Port will not be able to receive the goods, and their business will be affected. Of course, these affected are small and medium-sized smugglers, and the large chambers of commerce have their own fixed suppliers, so there is no big problem for the time being.

Business was affected, and the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port naturally scolded the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce that started it, but they scolded and scolded, but no one dared to do anything crooked, after all, the strength of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was there, and Zhou Zhong had a close relationship with the Xie family and the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce, and no one would touch the stone with an egg. What's more, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce uses legitimate business methods, no matter how much others scold, there is nothing they can do with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, there are some smart chambers of commerce after seeing the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce's approach, immediately see the wind to make the rudder launch the same business, but unfortunately this kind of business is not everyone can do, if the scale of the chamber of commerce is too small, the owner of the goods is not willing to cooperate with them at all, after all, the strength of the small chamber of commerce is too weak, the corresponding risk of the owner will increase, no one wants to joke about their goods.

As for the chamber of commerce with the same strength as the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, there are only three in the entire Shuangyu Port, although the chambers of commerce of the Xie family and the Hong family also know the benefits of this new business, but the power behind these two chambers of commerce is too complicated, although Xie Lingyun and Hong Feiyun control the chamber of commerce on the surface, but they do not have so much power and courage to make reforms.

As for the other Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, these Japanese people have never had any faith at all, and they used to do business by forcible seizure, if the goods are handed over to the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that all the owners of the goods will be directly embezzled by the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, so as long as they are people with a little brain, they will never cooperate with the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Zhou Zhong himself did not expect the above situation, when he came up with the idea of smuggling with the owner of the goods, he was ready to be imitated by others, after all, this new smuggling model can share the benefits, and it will be more conducive to the development of the smuggling industry, but I did not expect that because of the above reasons, this smuggling model has become the unique business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, even if others want to learn, I am afraid it will not be able to succeed in a short time.

Thinking that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce was criticized by most of the chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port during this time, Zhou Zhong couldn't help frowning, and asked Sanniang next to him: "Sanniang, how are the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce in the port now, are they still scolding us?" ”

Hearing Zhou Zhong ask this question, Sanniang waved her hand nonchalantly and said: "Wenda, you don't have to worry about the attitude of those small chambers of commerce, let them scold enough if they love to scold, anyway, they don't dare to do anything to our chamber of commerce, and when the first batch of goods is successfully traded, those wait-and-see shippers will definitely compete with us, and then those small chambers of commerce who scold us will wait to starve to death!" ”

How else to say that women are small-minded, even if it is a strong woman like Sanniang, after being scolded for a few words, she immediately holds a grudge in her heart, so in this world, don't mess with women with anything.

However, Zhou Zhong did not intend to crush the small and medium-sized smugglers in Shuangyu Port, so he smiled and said: "Sanniang, the smuggling industry is like a big river, we are all fish in the river, only this big river has become wider, and our fish can grow fatter, and if you want to make this industry bigger, it is not enough to rely on our family alone, so those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce are still necessary, and even at this critical moment, we have to reach out to help!" ”

Hearing the metaphor in Zhou Chong's words, Sanniang and Bai Junwan were stunned, and their faces also showed thoughtful expressions, and then they saw Bai Junwan take the lead in reacting, and said to Zhou Chong with admiration: "Childe is really broad-minded, and a few words will benefit Junwan a lot, such open-minded words, non-great wisdom can not understand, if those who scold the Chamber of Commerce hear, I am afraid they will die of shame." ”

For Bai Junwan's praise, Zhou Zhong just smiled faintly. At this time, Sanniang also figured out Zhou Chong's words, but she was a little embarrassed and said: "Wenda, what you said does make sense, but now those cargo owners are unwilling to cooperate with those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, what can we do to help them?" ”

"There is a way, we can help them protect it!" Before Zhou Zhong could speak, Bai Junwan next to her was very rare to speak first, but after she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Zhou Chong, who was full of surprise, and her face was a little red.

"As a guarantee?" Sanniang's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this, "This is a loss-making business, if there is any problem with the goods, then our guarantor will have to compensate the owner of the goods!" ”

However, as soon as Sanniang's words fell, Zhou Zhong helped Bai Junwan with a smile and added: "If we are guarantors, we naturally can't be like guarantors in the traditional sense, but in the case of a new kind of guarantor, we can not only help those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce find business, so as to gain huge fame, but also earn a lot of commissions, which can be said to be fame and fortune, and it is really a good business!" ”

When Zhou Zhong said this, the smile on his face became very dirty, because what he had in mind was not an insurance person at all, but an intermediary and an insurance company in the future, and he wanted to integrate the two industries to form a new business of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

"Fame and fortune?" Not only did Sanniang not understand this, but even Bai Junwan, who put forward the idea of guarantor, was a little puzzled, she put forward the idea of guarantor, she just thought that she could help those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce get through the difficulties, but she hadn't figured out how to operate it yet, and naturally she couldn't understand Zhou Chong's thoughts.

"We can bring those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce together, by our chamber of commerce to their evaluation, only through our chamber of commerce recognized by the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce, in order to obtain a smuggling license, and these chambers of commerce recognized by us and the owner of the smuggling, we can do for them to do sure, but the chamber of commerce must pay a bond, this bond only needs to be half or one-third of the amount of the goods, if the goods return safely, we have to take a little commission from the bail, if the goods have an accident, then we will compensate the owner of the bail……”

"Good way!" Before Zhou Zhong finished speaking, Sanniang had already stood up excitedly and praised loudly, "No wonder Wenda said that fame and fortune are gained, if you follow this method, our chamber of commerce does not need to spend half a penny at all, you can obtain an endless way of wealth, and those small and medium-sized chambers of commerce are subject to us, which will invisibly increase our prestige, and even surpass the Xie family and the Hong family, and it is possible to become the first chamber of commerce in Shuangyu Port!" ”

Although Bai Junwan didn't speak at this time, her eyes were also full of admiration when she looked at Zhou Chong, before she only knew that Zhou Chong was talented, but she didn't expect to be so talented in business, but unfortunately a talented person like Zhou Gongzi didn't want to be an official, but started a business like smuggling, which was really a big loss for the Ming Dynasty!
