Chapter 181: Take the initiative to withdraw from Shuangyu Port
After a period of intense and busy life, Zhou Chong finally handled most of the backlog of the Chamber of Commerce, and the remaining few unimportant matters could be handled slowly. This morning he rarely slept in and then ate with Wang Jinxuan and the others.
After breakfast, when it was almost noon, Zhou Chong rushed to the port to see Jin Wenxian off to see off.
Jin Wenxian is also a very smart person. He also realized that Zhou Chong wanted to drive all of them out of Shuangyu Port, so after getting Zhou Chong's promise to be a North Korean distributor, he immediately asked the Chamber of Commerce to pack up his things, and finally
Leaving the port this morning, and Jin Wenxian gave it to the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce very generously, which also gained Zhou Chong's favor. In order to show his sincerity, he came to personally
Send the other party away.
"President Zhou, Mr. Jin has been to Shuangyu Port for decades. Although he often takes a boat back to North Korea, most of them deliver goods and have no long stay at all. So I treat Shuangyu Port as my home from the bottom of my heart.
Now that I am about to leave, I feel a little reluctant to let it go!" I saw Jin Wenxian standing on the dock, holding Zhou Chong's hand and saying reluctantly.
"Don't worry, President Kim, our chamber of commerce has organized a batch of goods now. Now we are waiting for you to find a place to settle in North Korea. As long as you find a place to settle, the goods on our side will set sail soon!" Zhou Chongye
He said with a smile. In fact, he also knew that Jin Wenxian and he said this did not mean to show how deep his feelings for Shuangyu Port were, but to tell himself that the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce paid a lot of money to leave Shuangyu Port.
Therefore, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce must not break the bridges across the river and refuse to admit the account in the future.
I got Zhou Chong's guarantee. In addition, there were many people around the dock watching them, which made Jin Wenxian believe that Zhou Chong would not lie, so I finally felt relieved and said a few more words to Zhou Chong.
By the way, he flattered Zhou Chong a few more times, and finally got on the boat and waved goodbye to Zhou Chong.
Seeing the fleet of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce getting farther and farther away, Zhou Chong turned around and asked Uncle Tu next to him, "Uncle Tu, has the news of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce leaving Shuangyu Port been spread? What are the reactions of those foreign chambers of commerce
?”
Hearing Zhou Chong's question, Uncle Tuo said with a smile on his wrinkled old face: "Don't worry, boss, we have released the news, and many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce of the Koreans and Japanese people have heard it.
After this news, people have begun to send contact with our Chamber of Commerce, hoping to get the same treatment as the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce!”
Zhou Chong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Shuangyu Port was too close to the Ming Dynasty. The large number of Japanese and Koreans gathered in the port were not very safe, so he had long wanted to drive all these people out.
The departure of the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce is just the first step. With Zhou Chong spreading the news, coupled with the news that the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is looking for distributors everywhere, it will definitely attract a lot of people. It seems that the effect is pretty good now.
"Very good. Uncle Tuo, please keep it in check this time, and try to make all the larger Koreans and Japanese chambers of commerce leave Shuangyu Port. In this way, the remaining small chambers of commerce will not make any big fuss!
"Zhou Chong said proudly that after the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce launched cooperative smuggling, the living space of those foreign chambers of commerce has been almost squeezed. Now he pointed out a way for them to live. There is no need to worry about the North Koreans and Japanese people not being deceived.
"I understand!" Uncle Tu said excitedly. Almost all the Ming Chamber of Commerce were very disgusted with the Koreans and Japanese in Shuangyu Port. After all, the joining of these people is equivalent to snatching food from them. In addition, these people are not only a matter of snatching food from them.
The Koreans and Japanese are almost all outlaws who escaped from their country. They have always used any means to do things. They not only often loot at sea, but also often buy and sell when trading in ports. Now they can be seen.
Leaving is a good thing for the Ming Chamber of Commerce in Shuangyu Port.
Just as Uncle Tuo was about to leave, Wu Shan, who had been standing behind Zhou Chong, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young master, can you let the villain follow his adoptive father? After all, now the Jinyiwei has brother Ma and second brother, so I don't need to interfere at all.
But my adoptive father is old, and I have been studying with him for so long and can always do something for him!"
After Wu Shan and the other Jinyiwei arrived at Shuangyu Port, Zhou Chong arranged them next to the Chamber of Commerce's garrison, and even specially built a military camp-like yard for this purpose. It is also worth mentioning that the one with Wu Shan is very tall.
The likeness of Wu Shi is Wu Shan’s younger brother. Their ancestors have always been from the Jinyiwei family, and they can be said to be from the Jinyiwei family.
Hearing Wu Shan's request, Zhou Chong and Uncle Tu were both stunned, but Uncle Tu soon showed a hint of relief. He had always regarded Wu Shan as his own son, and at the same time wanted to train him to be his own successor.
Unfortunately, because Wu Shan was a Jinyiwei business, he cut off contact with Wu Shan and at the same time he also stopped his idea of letting him take over. Unexpectedly, Wu Shan took the initiative to stand up and do things with him.
Zhou Chong hesitated for a moment, as if he had thought about this matter very carefully, and then he said, "Okay, the Jinyiwei is fine now, so you can continue to follow Uncle Tu!"
Seeing Zhou Chong agreeing, Wu Shan and Uncle Tu were also very happy. They left together. As for the safety of Zhou Chong, Ma Liang and Wu Shi were responsible for it.
Zhou Chong returned to the Chamber of Commerce and had lunch with Wang Jinxuan and the others. It was already midsummer, and the weather was so hot that people were prone to sleep. So when Zhou Chong, who had lunch, was about to take a nap, he suddenly received a report from someone.
Ashikaga Ikki of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce actually came to visit him, which made Zhou Chong very surprised. Although he had no major holiday with the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, he had no relationship. Moreover, the last time that Hideji Hiroshi attacked him, Zhou
Shige also suspected that Ashikaga Ichiki was supporting him behind his back.
Although I couldn't figure out why Ashikaga Ichiki came to visit, Zhou Chong gave up his nap and went to the hall in the front yard and happened to see the short Ashikaga Ichiki sitting there drinking tea.
"The arrival of Ashikaga President is really bright for our Nanyang Chamber of Commerce!" Zhou Chongda walked in with a smile, and looked up and down at the only one among the Japanese who could compare with him.
Ashikaga Ikki's appearance is very ordinary, and his clothes are like ordinary Japanese. If Zhou Chong had not seen him secretly, he would have really not believed that the other party was the president of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce.
When Ashikaga Ikki saw Zhou Chong coming in, he stood up very politely and said, "Young Master Zhou Yan Chong, you are the blessing of being able to see you, Mr. Zhou!"
Seeing that the other party was so polite, Zhou Chong couldn't guess what the other party was about for a while. He sat down and said a few words to the other party, and finally asked directly: "President Ashikaga, I don't know if you are here to see Zhou, but there is
Why discuss things?"
After hearing Zhou Chong's words, Ashikagai hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled and said, "Your Madam Zhou, I am here this time, but I actually want to discuss a business with Mr. Zhou!"
"Business?" Zhou Chong raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the other party, then smiled, "I don't know what kind of business President Ashikari wants to discuss with Zhou?"
"Haha, in fact, it's not the right thing to say that business is right. I heard that Mr. Zhou just sent Jin Wenxian and his Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce away today. It is said that they went to North Korea to set up a front station for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. In the future, the goods transported by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to Zhongqing.
The Chamber of Commerce is sold in North Korea, I wonder if this matter is true or false?" Ashikaga Ikki did not directly express his idea of wanting to contact Emperor Zhengde through Zhou Chong, but instead talked to Zhou Chong about the matter of the Chungqing Chamber of Commerce.
Zhou Chong was also surprised when he heard this. Although he used the example of Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce to lead the foreign chamber of commerce in Shuangyu Port, large chambers of commerce such as the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce have deep roots in Shuangyu Port, even if
It was his own use of cooperative smuggling to attract many cargo owners, but for the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, it was not fatal enough. So now Ashikaga Ikki’s proposal of the Chungqing Chamber of Commerce, how could Zhou Chong not be surprised?
However, despite the surprise, Zhou Chong nodded sincerely and said, "Yes, the Zhongqing Chamber of Commerce has indeed received my promise. After returning to North Korea, they will find a place to settle down. At that time, the goods we ship to North Korea will also be given priority.
They trade there, and it can be said that the Chung-Ching Chamber of Commerce is one of our distributors in North Korea."
After listening to Zhou Chong's introduction, Ashikaga Ichiki's eyes flashed, and he also admired Zhou Chong's business talent. The previous cooperation and smuggling had caused them, such as the foreign chamber of commerce, to suffer heavy losses. Now, what else has been created.
Agent distributors, I'm afraid there are many chambers of commerce that cannot support it will take the initiative to contact the Nanyang Chamber of commerce and then return to China to become the agent of the Nanyang Chamber of commerce. In this way, the number of Koreans and Japanese people in Shuangyu Port will definitely be greatly reduced, even if it is
The few people who stayed there may not be any climate.
"Mr. Zhou, I wonder what we are like in Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, but are you qualified to become a distributor of the Chamber of Commerce in Japan?" Ashikaga Ikki suddenly asked a question at this time. He now has something to ask for Zhou Chong, so naturally he has to first
It took out his own conditions, and now he realized that Zhou Chong wanted to drive the Koreans and Japanese forces out of Shuangyu Port, so Ashikaga Ichikki believed that the one who could impress Zhou Chong the most was probably the only one who took the initiative to withdraw from Shuang.
It's Yugang.
Zhou Chong was shocked when he heard Ashikaga Ikki suddenly proposed to be his own chamber of commerce distributor in Japan, that is, he had to voluntarily withdraw from Shuangyu Port. This surprised him. Although the distributor can make a lot of money, it has huge profits from smuggling.
