Zhu Wencong and Su Ziqing had an afternoon tea outside, but the group of old men still did not reach a consensus.

In the end, they chose the Eastern way and continued to solve all problems at the wine table.

"This is a serious matter, and I hope you will bear with me. We will discuss whether to cooperate or be friends at this wine table.

We are all Easterners, and we should understand that every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.

We cannot do things as freely as you. We have many factors to consider and many constraints.

But! After eating this meal, there will definitely be a result." Su Jingmin said directly.

Zhu Wencong nodded silently, facing a group of old men, what else could he do?

They just want to make a lot of money, but if they don't want to make progress, the gods won't be able to save them.

"Brother! This is Shaoxing's rice wine. You can't drink it here!

First, let’s have the first glass of wine. If you need any help in the future, you can come to us.

There is a huge gap between us and white people, but we sincerely help.

I can’t figure out white people. After all, you young people will dominate this era." Yang Wanxiong said while drinking.

Wang Bideng put down his wine bowl and said, "You and I are all one family, and we are one family with the Su family.

The first time we started fighting against your father was because this was a secret that could not be told, and if we told it, we would be beheaded.

Now that you have grown up, you should understand some things. Your father is indeed a descendant of Zhu Ming, and so are you.

The White Lotus Sect who killed a thousand swords actually colluded with the local officials and directly betrayed your father, so they were cleared.

In order to protect us from being implicated, your father decided to do things one by one, and we have a certain amount of influence.

Naturally, the local magistrate is willing to turn a major issue into a trivial one and let your father bear all the blame."

Zhu Wencong remained silent and could guess some of these things by himself.

The local officials would definitely not dare to make a big deal out of the matter. Once the court finds out, they will all lose their heads.

None of these businessmen in the East are clean. Their methods and abilities are extremely strong.

On the surface, you can be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but secretly you can be a gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty. It all depends on which way the balance of interests leans.

"Let's talk about some serious business!

What are you thinking about? Can you stick together? Can you move in one place?

The past is over after all, we must live in the present and seize the opportunities in front of us.

This world is not static, it is changing all the time, and those who can't keep up will be eliminated." Zhu Wencong didn't want to talk nonsense.

The three old men were silent again, thinking that Zhu Wencong would be easy to talk to if they played the family card.

The three people's palace was far inferior to Zhu Wencong's, and they wondered which Emperor Ming was reincarnated.

"Let me tell you something first! Our Su family is a scholarly family with a century-old history, and most of the members are officials.

The collateral branch is responsible for business. My eldest brother is the governor of Fujian, and I also come here to do business.

Mainly cotton and raw silk, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Songjiang cloth is led by us!

You said you want to plant all cotton, so I must be very interested, but I don’t know if your information is accurate." Su Jingmin introduced himself first.

Zhu Wencong was doubly shocked when he realized that the Su family was so powerful. No wonder those old men were so polite to him.

With the financial resources and connections of the Su family, it is not a big problem to train a second-grade official. In the later period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will directly sell it at a clear price.

"Our Yang family mainly sells porcelain, tea, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., covering a wide range of industries." Yang Wanxiong said briefly.

"Our Wang family has a shipyard and an official firearms bureau, which is mainly in the manufacturing industry!" Wang Bideng continued.

Zhu Wencong kept this in mind. The fact that they came to the United States is enough to prove that they are the leader in the industry.

Probably they are each very powerful, and it becomes particularly difficult to neutralize them.

On the surface, the Su family is the strongest, but the Yang family and the Wang family don't buy it. They are the local emperors in their respective places.

The industries they operate in do not conflict with each other, but they are motivated by each other's will and do not accept that the other party rides on them.

"A question! Are you taking root in the United States or returning to the East?" Zhu Wencong wanted to find out.

When Zhu Wencong saw them hesitating again, he suddenly felt like there were ten thousand straw horses in his heart.

"Let me tell you this, your income in one year in the United States is equal to your income in ten years in the East!

Is the East still an agricultural civilization? How many taels of silver are there in the fields? Industry is a mountain of gold and silver!" Zhu Wenchong emphasized.

"Ah! Brother, you don't know something. It's hard to leave your homeland! No one can accept leaving your homeland all at once." Su Jingmin explained.

"Don't you know how to go back by boat? I'm not asking you to move your whole family!

Wouldn’t it be nice to come to the United States to make money when you are young, and then go back to take care of yourself when you are old? Can you please make some changes!

The fastest flight from San Francisco to Songjiang Prefecture is four months, and the slowest is six months. Is this distance very far?

With the continuous development of science and technology, we can travel back and forth in six months!" Zhu Wenchong felt tired.

"Yes!" The three old men suddenly understood.

The direct line will continue to stay in the east, and all the collateral lines can move here, so as not to fight openly and secretly with the direct line, fall in love and kill each other.

The excuse is very good. The opportunity is right in front of you. America's one-year income is equal to the East's ten-year income.

"Is there any problem?" Zhu Wencong found that it was really not easy for him.

Everyone shook their heads, and there would indeed be no problem if they let the subordinates take over when the time comes.

"Then we will unite as one?" Zhu Wencong looked left and right.

"Then elect a president with real power. As long as you are a member, you must obey the president's orders.

Those who don’t want to can withdraw from the chamber of commerce, and wealth will be left to those who are prepared." Zhu Wencong continued.

Yang Wanxiong and Wang Bideng looked at Su Jingmin. He had the best relationship with Zhu Wencong, and it would be best for him to be the puppet president.

Zhu Wencong's age and qualifications are completely insufficient, so he needs someone to be his puppet.

"I will nominate myself for the position of president!" Su Jingmin was not pretentious.

"Do you want to change the name of the new chamber of commerce?" Yang Wanxiong looked at Zhu Wencong.

Zhu Wencong felt everyone's gaze. He could not be the president, but he had the right to name it.

"Let's call it Jiuding Chamber of Commerce!" Zhu Wenchong thought for a while.

"One word, nine cauldrons!" everyone said in unison. From now on, they will no longer fight individually, but will stick together!

Zhu Wencong said with a smile on his face: "Since the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce has been established, I will make the first plan 'Golden Cotton'.

After this meal, one of you will return to the east and immediately organize all your efforts to grow cotton.

All my savings will also be invested in it. You can safely borrow money, increase leverage, rent land and then mortgage it, and the money will come as quickly as you want.

Just remember one point, in the next three years, we will solve the cotton demand of countries around the world."

"Will we still grow cotton in the future?" Su Jingmin wanted to ask whether it is more cost-effective to rent land or buy land. After all, there is a global market.

"Three years later, when you come to the United States to grow cotton, your hometown is really not suitable for industry. You know everything.
