"United Chamber of Commerce..."

Li Jingye, who had his eyes closed, frowned more and more as he uttered these words.

When he took over the order, he imagined all kinds of possibilities, but he never thought that the chamber of commerce would come forward in the end.

Huaxia United Chamber of Commerce.

On the surface, it looks like a chamber of commerce, but this chamber of commerce is different from ordinary chambers of commerce. Not only are the top officials of the chamber of commerce closely connected with the dignitaries of the two countries, but they can even influence the government to a certain extent.

The more important reason is that many large banks, including Imperial Bank, HSBC, Huaxia Bank, Quanye Bank, Industrial Bank, etc., are its members. The chamber of commerce may only have its own Huaxia Bank, but the board of directors of the chamber of commerce influences Empire's finances.

It's not influence, it's left and right!

And President Zuo... is the president of the chamber of commerce.

Now that he came to Ningbo suddenly, and even made an appointment to meet him, how could Li Jingye not be nervous.

"There is no such thing as a good banquet!"

The reason why Li Jingye felt so emotional was because... Hong Kong's order for twelve merchant ships.

Is that an order from Hong Kong?

Anyone who understands knows that Hong Kong's order is nothing more than a cover-up, it is a British order!
Britain, that is Ming's enemy country.

Enemy country... But who doesn't like yellow gold?

Now President Zuo came to the door, why?
Frowning into a ball, Li Jingye felt a little melancholy.

……

"Li Jingye is one of the first batch of overseas students dispatched by the Kingdom of Heaven. Sidley graduated from the Naval Engineering Department of Nanhua University in four years. After returning to China, he has been working in the Ningbo Shipyard of China. He has served as engineer and chief engineer. Ten years ago, when Tang Jun captured Nanjing, With the consent of the factory director Wang Zili, a contract was signed to transfer the shipyard to Xingye Company at a low price. This company was founded by Ming businessman Song Jieyun in the Haizhou Concession six months ago. She is..."

Before the secretary finished speaking, Zuo Xiaoxun said.

"Song Jieyun is the wife of Li Jingye. Although the Ningbo Shipyard is the official property of the Kingdom of Heaven and should be confiscated, the Xingye Company is a Ming Dynasty company registered by the Ming people. Back then, the Tang Dynasty was concerned about the empire and did not investigate this matter. The shipyard that the Kingdom of Heaven spent nearly 200 million taels on was named Xingye Shipyard and became Datang’s largest private shipyard.”

Regarding the background of Xingye Shipyard, Zuo Xiaoxun is very clear, after all, it involves.

"President, I have to say that Li Jingye's move is beautiful! I heard that he promised to remit 10 yuan to Wang Zili every year. As a result, Wang Zili didn't receive any money after he arrived at the Chenggong Islands. This guy It’s almost like a white wolf with empty hands, and got this shipyard without spending a penny.”

Secretary Chen sighed and said.

"He took our Da Ming's flag and turned this shipyard into an existing one. Chairman, can our Da Ming's reputation be used for nothing?"

"Secretary Chen, what do you say?"

"We tolerated him in the past, but now after the empire went to war with Britain, he actually accepted orders from the British without authorization. This kind of "non-national behavior" must be severely punished. In my opinion, he can be asked to return the order and hold him accountable. The behavior of embezzling public property back then."

Listening to Secretary Chen's suggestion, Zuo Xiaoxun sighed and said.

"Hey, so, you can only be a secretary in this life, sometimes things don't work like that!"

Then Zuo Xiaoxun gave him a meaningful look, and stopped talking, but Secretary Chen was embarrassed for a while.

"The public property...the public property is not our Daming's, so why should we worry about it? It's impossible to kill the chicken and get the eggs! As for the British order, I have other plans."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Xiaoxun struck a match, lit a cigar, and smoked slowly.

Almost half an hour later, Li Jingye, who was terrified and restless, walked into the Tianzihao suite on the top floor of the hotel. Facing Zuo Xiaoxun, he was already a little guilty, and he was unavoidably a little uneasy, especially when the president Zuo was always indifferent. When talking about orders, but asking about the size of the shipyard, shipbuilding capacity and other things, he became even more nervous.

"...In addition to the four old docks and four old berths in the shipyard, I plan to build two more docks with a length of more than 240 meters and two berths that can build [-]-ton merchant ships. At the same time, I will add corresponding machinery and equipment. The land expansion has been completed. Acquisition, according to the current plan, after the expansion of the shipyard is completed, the production scale of the shipyard can be more than doubled, and Xingye Shipyard will be the largest shipyard in Jiangnan by then."

Although he was a little nervous, when he mentioned the expansion of the Xingye Shipyard, Li Jingye's expression inevitably carried a hint of arrogance. This is indeed his pride. Since he took charge of the shipyard, the scale of the shipyard has continued to expand.

When he took over the shipyard, the shipyard only had two stone docks, one was no more than 120 meters long and the other was only 220 meters long.There is no one slipway that can only build ships with a displacement of 160 tons. In ten years, the size of the current Xingye Shipyard has more than doubled in his hands. A 4000-meter dock is known as the first dock in the south of the Yangtze River, and a [-]-meter dock The dock and three berths can build [-]-ton ships.In addition, it has two floating docks for repairing ships, and its personnel has expanded to more than [-] people, which is not inferior even compared with Haizhou and Qingdao shipyards.A factory of this scale is definitely a large-scale heavy industry enterprise in Datang.

"Indeed, in terms of the scale of the shipyard, Xingye may not be the largest shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River at present. Merchants' welcome, even foreign merchants, also praise the quality of Xingye Merchant Shipping!"

Foreign merchants!

In an instant, a burst of cold sweat broke out on Li Jingye's back, the time has finally come!
He smiled wryly, then said.

"President, I, I... Regarding the Hong Kong order, I really didn't think about it. At that time, I only thought that Datang had not declared war on the United Kingdom, but I ignored that Ming Dynasty had already declared war on the United Kingdom, so I rashly accepted the order from Hong Kong." ..."

Li Jingye, who originally wanted to explain, thought for a while and gritted his teeth.

"Although I made a mistake first, but regardless of the facts, the contract has been signed, the Hong Kong businessman has paid the first payment, not only the materials have been purchased, but even the ship sample has been prepared, and the shipyard has taken the money from the bank. The loan was used to expand the shipyard. If the contract is terminated now, Xingye may go bankrupt. I also ask the president to allow Xingye to complete the order for the sake of my dedication to Huaxia Industry these years..."

After saying these words, Li Jingye looked like a prisoner waiting for trial, waiting for the fate to come with a solemn expression,
Looking at him, Zuo Xiaoxun silently smoked his cigar, and after a while, he spoke.

"What would you do if I didn't allow it?"
