The wind blows from the South Sea

Chapter 49 Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce

The wine has been served three times, and the dishes have tasted delicious.

Feng Guohui and Qiao Zhongxing had a great conversation. Both of them are people with broad vision. They talked about China's style and Nanyang's unique customs with a lot of emotion.

Qiao Peiyun moved her chopsticks twice at first, but then she simply put down her chopsticks and drank tea quietly, listening to the two of them chatting away from all over the world. She found it particularly interesting, and her eyes showed deep yearning.

The Qiao family has lived overseas for a long time, and the restrictions on their female relatives are far less than those of the wealthy families in China. However, Qiao Peiyun did not have the opportunity to leave Java Island. At most, she followed her eldest brother to Batavia.

"Brother Feng, I don't believe that you don't have a complete plan if you intend to invest heavily in building a dock." Qiao Zhongxing was tipsy and his speech became direct.

Feng Guohui smiled lightly, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then responded;

"Brother Mo Zhai, I have already mentioned that Nanyang Company has a lot of land and several plantations in Yanwang City and Tianjia Town, and produces a lot every year.

In the future, I also intend to accept Chinese immigrants and further open up wasteland. Naturally, I need to find an overseas market for the grain and rice products produced. This is one of them.

for long term

Nanyang Company intends to explore mineral resources in surrounding areas and find mines with mining value. This is the second one.

Of course, there are other considerations, but Brother Mo Zhai is not from our Nanyang Company, so it is inconvenient to reveal too much.

If one day Brother Mo Zhai is willing to join our Nanyang Company, and you and I can work together to achieve great things, there will naturally be no need to hide it. "

listen to this

Qiao Zhongxing took a deep look at Feng Guohui, and his high-spirited face showed great confidence, then he smiled and said;

"How virtuous and capable is Mo Zhai? To be able to get into Brother Feng's eyes is enough to be proud of.

It's just that as a member of the Qiao clan, I can't decide what to do yet, so I ask Brother Feng for your forgiveness.

Many times I really envy Brother Feng. He is assertive and courageous. He dares to think and do things. He also has a group of life-and-death brothers who fully support him. Why worry about big things happening? "

"Oh... let me borrow your good words." Feng Guohui just revealed a little bit of words. After all, forceful melons are not sweet.

to him

It would be great to be able to recruit Bank of China Qiao to join us, but it doesn't matter if we can't. We have a large number of passionate young people who are both literate and daring to work and are growing up.

Feng Guohui does not need these people to have high talents, nor does he need to have any outstanding ability to control the overall situation, as long as he can obey orders.

The key is to be loyal, willing to work, less of a sleazy person, and can do the responsible things as told, then that's it.

After the dinner was over and everyone dispersed, Qiao Peiyun obediently followed her second brother Qiao Zhongxing and left.

For this young girl who had just started to fall in love, as long as she could stay by Feng Guohui's side, listen to what he said, and see his face full of confidence, it was enough.

Feng Guohui watched Qiao Peiyun's graceful figure leaving and kept watching her get into the carriage. Then he licked his lips and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth.

There is no man who doesn't like the admiring gaze of girls. Men who have a strong desire for power also have a strong desire to conquer. This is kings and beauties.

"Xiucai, I have an appointment with Qiao this afternoon. Where are the Lin family?" Feng Guohui looked away and asked.

Zheng Xiucai walked to the carriage, reached out to open the door, and then turned around and replied;

"It's almost time. We have an appointment to meet at the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce in the south of the city, which is Miluo Street. That is the territory of Chaoshan people and Antang, which is also the territory of the Lin family."

"Okay, then go meet them."

Feng Guohui said and got into the carriage. Zheng Xiucai followed and closed the door.

This Lin family is amazing. It is very powerful in Java Island, especially in Batavia. It is the local overlord. The head of the family is Lin Zongguang, the Kapitan boss recognized by the Dutch Governor-General.

Guangyuan Bank, run by the Lin family, has branches all over the major cities in Java. Its branch in Surabaya City is on Mirong Street. It is a real behemoth.

The Lin family in Surabaya City is just a branch of the family, but no one wants to offend the Lin family.

Surabaya City is a medium-sized city with more than ten streets. The Yingchun Building where Feng Guohui is currently located is next to the square in the city, only a few dozen meters away from the church.

It wasn't far from here to the south of the city, but he still got into a four-wheeled Western carriage, which was pulled by a strong horse. The driver wore a bowler hat and a suit.

The accompanying gunman sitting on the horse stool next to him was also dressed in the same attire, with his revolver hidden under his clothes.

After Feng Guohui and Zheng Xiucai got on the carriage, everyone else surrounded the carriage and walked forward.

along the way

This attracted everyone's attention. As soon as they saw the Taigeuk flag flying on the carriage, whether it was the vendors carrying the burden or the women with vegetable baskets on their arms, they all ducked away in fear.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Which party is the most ferocious in Surabaya City now? The most terrifying and least offending person must be the Nanyang Company.

During the more than a month of opening up a new trade route in the south, there were so many people killed, and the rumor spreading among the people was even more horrifying. He was like a big devil.

In the past, the Jianghu gangs in Surabaya City would always make a fuss about the fights they had with their visibly muscular bodies, holding knives and guns, enough to keep ordinary people talking for several days.

It doesn't work now, it's simply too weak, the two are not on the same level at all. Most of the time in the past, it was a big deal to kill or injure three or five people in rivers and lakes battles. How could it be considered a minor issue in front of Nanyang Company?

last year end

When the Nanyang Company destroyed Shuifang and Shunhaitang, the corpses that were transported to the beach were all dumped by horse-drawn carriages. The dirt roads for several kilometers from the city to the sea were stained with blood.

That's a cruel thing, but everyone knows it.

Miluo Street is not long, only more than 170 meters. It is named because of the many rice shops on the street.

Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is a typical Chinese-style two-story wooden building. Not far away is the entrance of Heantang.

More than a dozen strong men wearing black horizontal-breasted coats were sitting or standing, staring fiercely at the passing crowd, looking like they were the boss of the world.

When the guys from the Nanyang Company entered Miluo Street in a crowd of Western-style carriages, the gangsters from Heantang couldn't sit still anymore and stood up one after another.

They lined up along the entrance of the hall, almost unanimously taking off their hats and bending down, with humble smiles on their faces.

This is the most realistic world, where strength is the most important thing.

The carriage of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce stopped at the entrance of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. A group of people had already come out to greet them. The old man headed by him was Lin Zongyi, the head of the Lin family. He was also accompanied by "Gao Laohua" and others from Heantang.

Feng Guohui got off the carriage, exchanged a few words with Lin Zongyi and others, and then walked into the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce together.

Everyone followed the stairs to the second floor. Qiao Yunnan, the patriarch of the Qiao clan, stood at the top of the stairs and said apologetically;

"Shopkeeper Feng is young and promising, and he has managed the Nanyang Company to become more and more prosperous. He is truly the best among men.

It's a pity that due to misfortune, I can't see him until now.

Now it looks really extraordinary. I am old and my legs are not very convenient. I have not been able to welcome him from afar. I hope you can forgive me. "

"Hahahaha...Brother Qiao is too polite. From now on, you and I will be colleagues who stir up trouble in the same pot in the business community of Surabaya City. We should get closer to each other." Feng Guohui replied with a smile.

Seemingly enthusiastic, Qiao Yunnan almost got knocked over.

The Qiao family can hold the position of city boss in Surabaya City. It can be said that they have all the eyes and ears. Their second son, Qiao Zhongxing, and their youngest daughters, Qiao Peiyun and Feng Guohui, are very close. How could they escape Qiao Yunnan's spy?

Qiao Zhongxing and Feng Guohui are brothers. According to the normal order of seniority, they should at least be called "Shibo".

Feng Guohui opened his mouth and said "Brother Qiao". He seemed to have no sense of disobedience, but in fact he had lost Qiao Yunnan's face.

Qiao Yunnan was a veteran in the business world. Although he didn't know how angry he was, he didn't show it on his face at all. He just made eye contact with Lin Zongyi, the head of the Lin family.

This street boy is so difficult to deal with!

Qiao Yunnan couldn't help but think of Feng Guohui's other personality; that is, he was a dog-faced person who always changed his mind.

No... Seeing that he didn't move further to greet her, he immediately choked.

Qiao Yunnan said with a warm smile;

“It is not easy for a young man like Feng to emerge in the business community of Surabaya City and create such a big scene with his bare hands.

You and I are of the same lineage as China. We are struggling to operate in this remote archipelago thousands of miles away from China. We should be in the same spirit and keep in touch with each other.

It's a rare meeting today, so we should get closer and closer. "

What he said was impeccable, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He was just right.

Feng Guohui responded with the same smile: "That's why I wish to hear you."

"Hahaha...Brother Feng, please let us talk in the room."

"Brother Qiao please, oh...and Brother Lin, the two elders please first."

"OK then……"

Qiao Yunnan and Lin Zongyi got off the slope and entered the room first, followed closely by Feng Guohui.

During this time, the two men's eyes met again with deep meaning, and they both saw that the other wanted to kill someone.

Feng Guohui didn't care about the psychological drama of the two old guys. If he wanted to rely on his old age and act like his old man in front of him, he would definitely not give him this face.

Although I'm a little greedy for the body of Old Man Qiao's little daughter, who am I, Feng Guohui... Do I need this kind of food?

It is absolutely impossible to be just a generation shorter than your predecessor.
