Chapter 40 Huangpu Chamber of Commerce
"Boss Shen is right. I am looking for you to come here today. I really have something to discuss with you."

The three of them glanced at each other, Boss Liu turned to look at Li Jing, "Oh? Then I don't know what Boss Li said?"

Li Jing smiled slightly, got up and refilled tea for the three bosses one by one, and said casually: "Boss Liu has three kiln factories and two large storage warehouses under his name, and Boss Shen also has thousands of workers in the tea business. Boss Wang?"

Li Jing sat in the same place, took a sip of tea, and said, "Boss Wang is even more powerful. He has at least [-] workers, and his business projects also include many industries, such as transportation, warehouses, and cloth. , medicinal materials, and ~~~~~ crow~~ slices!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Boss Liu and Boss Shen were both taken aback.

Boss Wang, who has been silent all this time, was also surprised when he heard the words. He adjusted his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses narrowed slightly, "Hehe, Boss Li is not a joke. Although the current government has nothing to do, But the management of opium is still relatively strict, brother, if your joke gets out, it will kill an innocent person like me."

"Haha~~"

Li Jing laughed loudly, and said: "Boss Wang is smart enough to not be scared by me. I see that everyone is not in a good mood, so I made a joke for you guys. Please don't mind."

Li Jing raised his teacup as an apology with tea instead of wine, but as for the bull horn who had gone out to get wine and never came back, no one cared about it at this time.

Both Liu and Wang raised their glasses, but Boss Shen sneered slightly, and said, "It's just a joke, Boss Li is trying so hard to find out about us, I'm afraid he has something to say?"

"That's right, you guys are all smart people, so let's just order directly, relying on the wharf to eat the wharf, the business of a few of you must have a lot of business with the sea, but a few of you haven't stayed abroad, maybe you don't know this the details inside."

da da~~
Li Jing tapped his fingers on the table, and then said: "Where are your goods delivered to? How is the local market? Is the price in Japan and the UK the same? You certainly won't worry about these issues, but!"

Li Jing paused for a moment, looked at the faces of the three bosses one after another, and then continued: "This is the problem, a bag of tea that is only worth a few pennies here, will cost dozens of times when it is shipped to Japan. The price is higher, and after it is shipped to the UK, it will be multiplied by dozens of times, and the same is true for porcelain and cloth, and the difference in price will be huge!"

The three bosses opened their mouths, a little stunned in disbelief, why is opium so popular nowadays?It is because of the large profits.

Huge profits, huge profits are like stealing money!
And when someone tells you that foreigners make as much money selling tea, porcelain, and cloth as you sell opium, no, it is more profitable and profitable than you selling opium, Then how do you deal with yourself?

My family sells contraband carefully little by little, while others use ships to transport ordinary items by the ton by ton, and the profit margin is huge, how is this possible?

"Why? Don't believe it?" Seeing that the three bosses didn't speak, Li Jing could understand what they were thinking at the moment. It just felt absurd, but unfortunately, that was the truth.

"Boss Li's joke is bigger than the last one, ha ha." Boss Liu took a sip of tea with a smile, but his hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, which showed that his heart didn't want to be so calm on the surface.

"Yeah! This thing is too unreliable!"

Li Jing shook his head and smiled slightly: "It's understandable for some of you not to believe, but I still have to finish the last sentence."

He took a sip of tea lightly and continued: "The chamber of commerce has existed since ancient times. It exists to prevent malicious competition and drive up prices. But now we have to change this way of thinking. If the chamber of commerce is established, If it can be approved unanimously to increase the price of export goods, and then send representatives of the chamber of commerce to negotiate with foreigners, then the business on the dock is not fully in our own hands?"

Li Jing clenched his fists, as if everything was within his grasp.

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Boss Wang shook his head and said, "How can it be so simple? If the price of goods is high, then foreigners would rather spend more to buy goods from other places, or they can go to other wharfs to find sellers. There are local gangsters who have interests with foreigners, if we raise the price, then the first ones targeting us must be the local people.”

Li Jing nodded, he had to admit that Boss Wang's analysis was very thorough, these questions were indeed some key factors, but Li Jing suddenly smiled slightly, Boss Wang can say that, it must be in his heart He admitted that what Li Jing said was true, even if he didn't believe it [-]%, it must have exceeded [-]% or [-]%.

"Brother Wang is right, but these problems can be solved. As long as the price of the goods does not increase by more than ten times, which is too outrageous and does not exceed the bottom line of foreigners, then they will adopt the method of gangster suppression to solve the problem. Instead of looking for new sellers elsewhere, and the purpose of the gangsters is nothing more than profit, whichever side has more interests, then they will definitely favor which side, let alone you don’t forget, there is not just a family on this pier If the Black Tiger Gang can’t do it, we can support the Beihai Gang. If the Beihai Gang can’t do it, we can find the Black Tiger Gang. As long as we can unite most of the merchants around the pier, then what are we afraid of? "

"This this."

The three of them looked at each other, considering the gains and losses that could be achieved in this matter. The benefits were indeed large enough, but the accompanying dangers were also very serious. If they were unsuccessful, their families might be ruined.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Li Jing waved his hand and continued: "I invite you here this time to say hello to you in advance. You can go back and think slowly about how to make a decision. The first president of the newly established Whampoa Chamber of Commerce is also recommended by me. I will take charge of it personally, and all the negotiation and communication issues will be borne by me, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

As he spoke, Li Jing took out two rolls of hard paper from his arms and spread them out on the table one by one. One was a paper roll of the Whampoa Chamber of Commerce with several names and appointments written on it, and the other was an ink photocopied roll. world map.

"Whampoa Chamber of Commerce? This... you."

"Is this map real?"

"Even the shopkeeper of Jishitang signed it?"

The hearts of the three were shocked. At first they thought that Li Jing was just talking, but they didn't expect that Li Jing had already started to make such a crazy plan.
