Smuggling Daming

Chapter 86 Killed in the cradle?

After Xie Lingyun listened to Aunt Shui's report about Zhou Zhong, although she looked very calm on the surface, her heart was actually turbulent.The previous incident at the Beigang Tea House had exposed Zhou Zhong's talent in business, but it was only a few days before Zhou Zhong was going to reform the smuggling model that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Let Zhou Zhong make it, and the day when the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce dominates Shuangyu Port will not be far away.

"Okay, I get it, Aunt Shui, you go out first!" Xie Lingyun waved her hand weakly.

However, after hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Aunt Shui did not leave immediately, but still said: "Miss, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has not yet developed, and it is the best time for us to suppress it. If there is a chance, we can directly take Zhou Zhong... "

"Enough!" Before Aunt Shui could finish her sentence, Xie Lingyun interrupted sharply, "Aunt Shui, I know you often help my father with some difficult matters, and you are highly valued by my father, but now the Chamber of Commerce is I am in charge, I am different from my father, I will use my own methods 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 Xie Lingyun, who was always gentle and gentle, get so angry, and she was so scared that she lowered her head and kept silent.

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

"I don't dare. The life of my servant was given by the Xie family. I should always think about the Xie family, so please think again, miss!" 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 by her father's side, and her mind was more stubborn than anyone else, so she didn't get angry after hearing this, she just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I see, Aunt Shui, go out , leave me alone!"

Aunt Shui saw that her lady still didn't give herself a clear answer, she wanted to say something else, but seeing Xie Lingyun's expression of not wanting to hear any more, she couldn't help sighing, and then quietly exited Xie Lingyun's bedroom, And close the door gently.

Just after Aunt Shui left, Xie Lingyun's whole body softened suddenly, as if she lost all her strength.After a while, she gently rested her right arm on the table, supported her cheeks with her small white hand, and turned her eyes to the window, but there was no focus in her beautiful eyes, obviously she was thinking about something on her mind.

Back then, Xie Lingyun told Zhou Zhong about the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in order to obtain the method of making soap in Zhou Zhong's hands, and she also promised Zhou Zhong that she 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 soap formula, but had a deeper plan.

Since Zhou Hai's accident, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has no leader, and the Chamber of Commerce has also split into three parts. However, at this time, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce still controls one-third of the port revenue of Beigang, plus the shipyard and some familiar boatmen. It is an incalculable wealth, so as long as there are powerful chambers 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, Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, and Ise Chamber of Commerce. They directly threaten Sanniang and Uncle Tuo, hoping to receive the profits of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.Although the other major chambers of commerce did not take action directly, they were not indifferent, and even started preparing in secret.

It was also under such circumstances that Xie Lingyun told Zhou Zhong about the situation of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce and agreed to help him take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. In fact, she did not have any kind intentions, but had her own plans.

In Xie Lingyun's view, no matter how talented Zhou Zhong is, he is still just a scholar after all. Even if they temporarily take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce with the help of their Xie family, they will definitely not be able to lead a Nanyang Chamber of Commerce that is seriously injured. In particular, other forces in Beigang are also eyeing the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. Under such internal and external difficulties, Zhou Zhong can only ask their Xie family for help again.So in this case, Xie Lingyun can use some means to slowly take over old people like Zhou Zhong and San Niang, and finally take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce without any effort.

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

But Xie Lingyun miscalculated a bit. After Zhou Zhong came to Shuangyu Port, he did not act like a scholar who only knew what he knew. When they jointly wiped out the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong killed several people in a row with his own hands. Using this to establish her own prestige already made Xie Lingyun faintly uneasy.

What happened afterwards surprised Xie Lingyun even more. Zhou Zhong not only quickly stabilized the hearts of the chamber of commerce, but also carried out reforms on some businesses of the chamber of commerce. The reform of the Beigang tea house has fully demonstrated Zhou Zhong's business talent, and now he is dividing the shares of the chamber of commerce , not only raised a large amount of funds for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also tied He Xian and others to the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, which once again showed Zhou Zhong's courage and shrewdness.

However, what shocked Xie Lingyun the most was that Zhou Zhong actually reformed the traditional smuggling model. If he was allowed to do it, then the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce would definitely increase its business and become the overlord of Shuangyu Port.

Seeing Zhou Zhong's series of actions, Xie Lingyun already understood that her plan to take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through Zhou Zhong was completely bankrupt, and she even personally supported an extremely powerful opponent.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 this, Xie Lingyun, who rested her cheek on one hand, couldn't help sighing softly. The smuggling industry is already extremely chaotic. Their Xie family can go so far and become one of the four major chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Hong Kong. How many competitors have been defeated, and the methods used are both explicit and covert, and some are even shady.Although she has never experienced these things, she has also heard about them from Aunt Shui and the old people.

The rise of Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has seriously threatened the interests of the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce. The Xie Family has encountered this situation more than once before. With the idea of ​​preventing problems before they happen, the Xie Family will kill this threat in the cradle.In addition, Zhou Zhong's business talent is also one of the reasons why the Xie family is very scrupulous?That's why Aunt Shui suggested to Xie Lingyun to deal with it early, and even use some extraordinary means to get rid of Zhou Zhong, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

But perhaps because of being a young girl, Xie Lingyun's character is not as ruthless as her father and Aunt Shui. If she suppressed Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through normal means, she might not hesitate to do it, but Now Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are difficult to suppress by normal means. The best way is to get rid of the core figure Zhou Zhong, which makes Xie Lingyun instinctively repel.

In fact, even Xie Lingyun didn't realize that through this period of getting along, she deliberately maintained a superficial intimacy with Zhou Zhong, coupled with Zhou Zhong's amazing performance during this period, it had already surprised her countless times. This gave her a very complicated feeling towards Zhou Zhong.Of course, this kind of relationship is not a relationship between a man and a woman, but a very vague curiosity and heartbeat. That's why she reacted so strongly when she heard Aunt Shui's suggestion to do something to Zhou Zhong.

Just when Xie Lingyun was distressed about Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Zhong didn't notice the Xie family's vigilance towards him. He didn't even know that Xie Lingyun helped him to take over the entire Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through him. Whether it was in the previous life or now, he was not a conspirator, let alone a city like Xie Lingyun, so naturally he knew nothing about these things, and he even expressed a kind of gratitude to Xie Lingyun. Although the other party's city made him very disliked, but But still a good business partner.

Speaking of which, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the business of the Chamber of Commerce shares has been completed, just waiting for He Xian and the others to send the money.After the adjustments of Sanniang, Uncle Tuo, and Sun Tong, the chamber of commerce has slowly been on the right track. As soon as the money arrives, they will immediately start recruiting shipbuilding, so that the chamber of commerce can recover its strength as soon as possible.Moreover, Zhou Zhong had been away from home for a long time, if he didn't go back, Aunt Wang and Zhuo'er would be suspicious.

So in the next few days, Zhou Zhong arranged the affairs of the chamber of commerce. In addition to being in charge of the finance of the chamber of commerce, San Niang also asked her to send people to Daming to recruit some shipbuilding craftsmen. Most of them were built from domestic shipyards in Daming, but Zhou Zhong felt that the number of ships needed for smuggling was huge, and there was no need to give all the money to others. It would be best for his chamber of commerce to have a large-scale shipyard.

Uncle Tuo has nothing to explain. It is nothing more than to continue to implement the reform of Beigang Teahouse. It is best to expand the area of ​​the teahouse. After all, with the increase in Beigang's transaction volume, the number of customers in Beigang Teahouse has also increased. Times, the teahouse really seemed a bit crowded.

The last and most critical thing was Sun Tong. Zhou Zhong entrusted him with an important task, which was to recruit people and train the boatmen. After all, it would not be enough to have boats in the future, and there must be corresponding boatmen to drive the boats.Of course, training a qualified boatman is not an easy task, and the new year is coming soon, so these things he confessed will not be done immediately, and now it is just for them to prepare.

After explaining the matters in the chamber of commerce, Zhou Zhong can finally go home for the new year with peace of mind. I believe that when he comes back after the new year, He Xian and the others should be able to deliver their money. In addition, Sanniang and the others have finished their preparations. It's time for a fight!
