Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 530: All kinds of things in the world: Business

On the outskirts of Guangzhou, there is a vast manor with a non-Chinese castle-like building.

In the luxuriously decorated castle, a handsome foreign man was lying leisurely on the sofa, holding a newspaper in his hand, and there was a plate of cut fruits and a glass on the table made of glass in front of him.

In the cup is a strange light red liquid.

This strange drink is called red wine.

Flipping through the newspaper, and occasionally enjoying a sip of red wine comfortably, the man's face was full of intoxication.

But the time spent leisurely and alone is always short, and the man didn't enjoy it for too long. The appearance of four middle-aged men destroyed the artistic conception of the castle.

"President Cosimo."

The identity of the owner of the castle was immediately revealed, Cosimo Medici, the founder of the Medici Chamber of Commerce and the "Guangzhou Economic News".

A trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on Cosimo's face.

"President Zhang, disturbing other people's pleasure is something that even God cannot forgive."

"Really, but I don't believe in your God, I don't even believe in our own Jade Emperor God."

The president surnamed Zhang unceremoniously sat down opposite Cosimo, and the other three people who came with him also sat down one after another.

If Chen Jinghe would be able to recognize it here, Chen Jiading was among the four people, and these four people were the four big families that once dominated the entire Guangdong business community.

Of course, although the current four major families are no longer the dominant family, they are still extremely wealthy.

"Well, for the sake of the four seniors visiting together, God forgives you."

Cosimo put down the newspaper and glass and sat up straight.

"Something of great importance has happened that can alarm four people to visit together at the same time."

"Pearl Harbor is closed."

"Well, I know." Cosimo said calmly: "I heard that Mingzhu Port is involved in crimes such as drug trafficking and smuggling. This is really terrible. The port should indeed be closed. I very much support the decision of the imperial court."

He, Cosimo, works in a bank, and he has no direct interest in whether the Pearl Harbor will be sealed or not, so he doesn't bother to worry about it.

"President Cosimo, don't you understand how much impact the closure of Pearl Harbor will have?"

Li Shuhong said in a deep voice: "Pearl Harbor is closed, and many people will suffer."

"That has nothing to do with me." Cosimo spread his hands and smiled: "I don't get involved in the business you do, and those dirty business will be killed. Although I believe in God, I haven't planned to do it now. Go see him."

"Yes, Pearl Harbor has nothing to do with you, but Guangdong's economy must have something to do with you."

"We don't want to see Guangdong's economy collapse, that would leave a lot of people destitute."

Cosimo said: "The four big families have great fortunes and riches. Even if Guangdong's economy collapses, the four can continue to live in luxury."

Zhang Mengbin narrowed his eyes: "But we could have kept it from collapsing."

"Really, how do you say?"

"Pearl Harbor, reopen."

Cosimo laughed out loud immediately: "Are you kidding me? The four of you are too serious about it. The closure of Pearl Harbor is a decision of the imperial court. What ability do I have to reopen it?"

"You don't have this ability, but the princess behind you, she does."

"Everyone knows that Her Royal Highness and the Crown Prince are brothers and sisters of dragon and phoenix. They have been close since childhood. Her Royal Highness is also the major shareholder of your Medici Chamber of Commerce. If she comes forward, this matter can be handled."

Cosimo smiled contemptuously: "I'm sorry, but I'm just a humble servant of Her Royal Highness. A servant has no right to ask the master to do anything."

"I won't let you do this in vain."

Zhang Mengbin said bluntly: "I know that you have been trying to monopolize our Guangdong banking industry for several years. As long as you can handle this matter for us, the four of us can sell all the stocks of [-] banks we hold to you. Let your Medici Bank control more than [-]% of the entire banking industry in Guangdong, and you understand how much wealth there is."

Cosimo frowned, but still shook his head with a smile.

"Although I am very moved, I am very sorry, but I still can't do it."

As long as there is a thunderstorm in Pearl Harbor, the four people involved in the case will undoubtedly die. Cosimo can completely reap the benefits of the fisherman and still monopolize the entire banking industry. There is no need to use this method.

Instead of trusting the reputation of businessmen like Zhang Mengbin, it would be better to wait for the four families to perish.

A hint of anger and viciousness flashed across Zhang Mengbin's face.

"Cosimo, you barbarian."

"Wait." Cosimo stretched out his hand to interrupt: "President Zhang, let me correct you, I have been naturalized in Zhongzhou three years ago, this is also my country, you call me a barbarian, and you are Where is Yi?"

"you!"

Just as Zhang Mengbin was about to get angry, he was held down by Chen Jiading beside him.

"President Cosimo, we all know your plan, but you should also have heard an old saying in Zhongzhou, that is, everything must stay on the front line, and the other is that everything prospers and the other loses. Everyone in the same industry is doing business in Guangdong. It is better to help when you are helping.

If the four of us collapsed, the Manuel Chamber of Commerce collapsed, and the South India Company collapsed, do you think that when the interests of so many people are damaged, can you still sit and watch your Medici Chamber of Commerce continue to enjoy the blessings?

Don't forget, when the Canton Stock Exchange was first established, the four of us were the main founders. Over the years, we know exactly what your Medici Chamber of Commerce did in the stock market and how much money you robbed.

Including whose pocket the money ended up in, we know better. Do you think you will end well when the thunder comes out?
In our case, a tiger's poison does not eat its child, you will only be the scapegoat, so saving us is also saving yourself.

In addition, I would like to bring you a sentence for President Jadam. After all, you are not a native of Zhongzhou. Your hometown and your country cannot bring you any shelter.

If you anger Manuel, then your hometown Florence and your family will cease to exist because of your willful selfishness! "

Cosimo's face suddenly twitched.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the reality Chen Jiading said.

Pu Xiangdong's power is too large and too terrifying.

The people of Zhongzhou are not afraid, because they have a more powerful country, and there is a king Yu who must prostrate and worship even if Pu Xiangdong sees it.

But what about his Medici family, his hometown of Florence.

God?
Heh, the pope's scepter is still in Nanjing, and God has not come to fetch it.

The reality is that theocracy must give way to monarchy, and power is the truth.

Cosimo closed his eyes.

"I can not guarantee."

"As long as President Cosimo does his best, our promise to you will be fulfilled. After all, neither we nor Jadam dare to offend the princess behind you."

The four big families stood up, nodded to Cosimo and turned to leave.

Walking out of the castle, the four of them looked at each other and boarded their carriages to leave.

Now, they have mobilized all the things that can be done, all the forces and relationships that can be mobilized.

For the rest, it depends on how Chen Jinghe accepts the move!
