Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

"But what you're doing is in the shipping business, and nowadays the shipping business is almost monopolized by the Honghui."

"If we want a share of the profits, I'm afraid Honghui won't agree!"

Xu Zhenzhen said with some concern.

If this shipping business is something the Canal Gang wants to do, then it's a battle between the Canal Gang and the Hong Society, with both sides being evenly matched.

However, if Jiang Wangzu wanted to do it himself, he probably wouldn't have the scale.

Moreover, the Grand Canal Gang and the Honghui have always maintained a clear distinction in matters of water transport.

The canal gang's boats, the Honghui's goods.

Jiang Wangzu's actions will offend both families.

"Of course I wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge Hong alone."

"I will share a portion of the profits with the gang members, and the cargo ships will still be from within the gang."

"As for the goods, they should be distinguished from Honghui's main business."

"Honghui's goods were distributed to various parts of the south, and raw materials were imported from those parts of the south."

"We are opening up the north-south route, selling goods to the north, and then transporting abundant and inexpensive raw materials from the north."

"It's fair to say that our markets are completely different from theirs, and there's no direct competition between us."

"If it weren't for the Tianjin Martial Arts School, I wouldn't have even considered doing business in the north."

"Without strong military force, this business simply cannot be run. The Honghui cannot do it, the Caobang cannot do it, and I cannot do it either, but the martial artists of Tianjin in the north can do it."

Jiang Wangzu offered an explanation.

People in this era are not fools; many smart people know that the North and South complement each other, and that if trade routes are opened up, they can definitely make a lot of money.

However, the key issue is that warlords are currently fighting each other in various regions, and the forces in the north and south are like fire and water, making it impossible to establish a connection.

But Jiang Wangzu was different.

Jiang Wangzu was an elder of the Canal Gang, and he could have taken advantage of the Canal Gang's water transport to connect the north and south, east and west.

He also has a deep friendship with the Tianjin Martial Arts School.

He proposed to bring the Tianjin Martial Arts School along to make big money, and these people certainly wouldn't refuse.

And now Tianjin is under the control of this group of martial artists.

In addition, this group of martial artists had extensive connections and were a powerful force in the north.

With them in control of the business, even if someone else wants a piece of the pie, they'd better think twice about whether they're qualified.

Therefore, Jiang Wangzu had the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

If that's the case, Hong will still be envious and want a share of the pie.

Then hit!

Jiang Wangzu's thousands of security personnel and thousands of guns were not to be underestimated.

"With such a large operation, have you secured your supply and distribution channels?"

"Because of your relationship with Miss Rumeng, even if Ding Lie, the president of the Shencheng Chamber of Commerce, doesn't try to trip you up, you can forget about getting his help, right?"

"If you want to do business in Shanghai, you can't avoid Ding Lie."

Xu Zhenzhen glanced at Jiang Wangzu and said with a meaningful smile.

She didn't mind that Jiang Wangzu had many women.

After all, in this world, which capable man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

However, he truly admired Jiang Wangzu's audacity; he dared to provoke any woman.

The title of president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is not just an empty honor.

He is a big shot who combines the roles of business leader, financial oligarch, political broker, and quasi-city lord!

Compared to him, Honghui's business seems rather small-scale!

Ding Lie's power was overwhelming in Shanghai.

The influence of the Honghui, Lanshe, and Caobang was concentrated only in the lower district of Shanghai.

However, if it really came down to a fierce battle, the Honghui, Lanshe, and Caobang would be no less powerful than Ding Lie, and might even be far superior to him.

Therefore, Ding Lie represents white, while the three major forces represent black.

These days, darkness reigns supreme.

Ding Lie dared not offend the three major powers.

But he absolutely dares to offend Jiang Wangzu, the elder of the Canal Gang!

"If you can't get around it, you can't get around it."

"When I, Jiang Wangzu, do business, I still believe in reason."

"If they want to resort to underhanded methods, I don't mind talking to them about physics."

"If Ding Lie dares not offend the Canal Gang, the Hong Society, or the Blue Society, then he dares not offend my Shanghai Security Company!"

"And I know this is a huge undertaking, so I plan to expand slowly and then acquire or build my own factories."

"As long as we can connect the entire industrial chain, including raw materials, processing, transportation, and markets, I will not be afraid of being controlled by others."

Jiang Wangzu spoke softly.

He possessed a business acumen that transcended generations and wisdom that transcended time.

Although he would not look down on the people of this era, he would never underestimate himself.

"It seems you were already confident of success."

"Besides these businesses, do you have any other businesses?"

"The nightclub is doing so well, are we just going to give up like this?"

Xu Zhenzhen has been seeing Zhou Weilai and Jiang Wangzu reporting on the progress of the project these past few days.

In addition, some audio equipment was shipped from the West to our home.

Not only that, Jiang Wangzu also personally went to some nightclubs to poach people.

This shows that he must want to build his own dance hall again.

"You truly understand me!"

"I do indeed have plans to rebuild the dance hall."

"It just means we won't be competing with the canal gangs for customers in the lower city anymore."

"I plan to open two nightclubs in the Upper East Side at the same time."

Jiang Wangzu said with a smile.

Before leaving, Chen Liujia wiped out all the members of the Netherworld Sect in Shanghai.

They also uncovered the two nightclubs suspected of employing Netherworld Cult experts to assassinate Han Qiao, as well as the owners and forces behind them.

Han Qiao naturally took over the two nightclubs and then transferred them to Jiang Wangzu.

However, both nightclubs have completely collapsed, and reconstruction will take time.

Even with Jiang Wangzu's money to pave the way and the construction workers working in three shifts, it would still take at least a month to finish the construction, and it would take even longer to complete the interior decoration.

Opening within three months is already extremely fast.

Jiang Wangzu took over the singers and dancers from both nightclubs, conducted a selection process, and eliminated some who were not qualified.

And recently, they've been recruiting talent everywhere, preparing to pull off a big heist!

Jiang Wangzu believed that once his dance hall was built and opened, it would surely surpass Xianlemen and become the most luxurious, comfortable and comprehensive dance hall in Shanghai.

Wouldn't we be able to make a fortune every day then!

Jiang Wangzu began preparations long ago to plan these businesses.

So even without the Grand Canal Gang meeting, Jiang Wangzu would have eventually severed all ties with the gang's shady business dealings.

Now his money has dwindled dramatically, and he just hopes that once his business is fully established, he can sit back and collect his profits.

"It seems you're right, I'm afraid I'll be very busy for a while."

"In that case, I need to make the most of this time to learn from my masters!"

Xu Zhenzhen also felt the pressure.

This is not some small-scale business like those nightclubs in the city that never sleeps.

This is a series of big deals.

And this may only be the beginning; Jiang Wangzu's businesses will continue to grow in the future.

"No rush."

"North-South trade routes are still under negotiation."

"The dance hall is still under construction, so the next two or three months will be quite quiet."

Jiang Wangzu also spoke up.
