There is a very large manor on the outskirts of Guangzhou, and there is 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. There was also a plate of cut fruits and a glass on the glass table in front of him.

In the cup was a strange light red liquid.

This strange drink is called red wine.

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

But the leisurely time alone is always short, and the man did not enjoy it for too long. The appearance of four middle-aged men destroyed the artistic conception in 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 Guangzhou Economic News.

Cosimo's face suddenly showed a trace of displeasure.

"President Zhang, disturbing other people's enjoyment 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."

President Zhang unceremoniously sat down opposite Cosimo, and the other three people who came with him also sat down.

If Chen Jinghe would have recognized him here, one of these four people was Chen Jiading, and these four people were the four major families that once dominated the entire Guangdong business community.

Of course, although the current four big families are no longer the only one, they are still as rich as the others.

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

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

"Something so big happens that it can alert four people to come together at the same time."

"Pearl Harbor is closed."

"Yes, I know." Cosimo said calmly: "I heard that Mingzhu Port is suspected of drug trafficking, smuggling and other crimes. This is really terrible. The port should indeed be closed. I fully support the court's decision."

Cosimo worked in a bank, and he had no direct interest in whether the Pearl Harbor could be sealed, so he didn't bother to worry about it.

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

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

"What does that have to do with me?" Cosimo spread his hands and smiled: "I won't get involved in the business you are doing. Those dirty businesses will be beheaded. 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 has something to do with you."

"We don't want to see Guangdong's economy collapse, which will leave many people impoverished."

Cosimo said: "The four families have great businesses and are as rich as the country. Even if Guangdong's economy collapses, the four of them can continue to live luxuriously."

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

"Really, how do you say it?"

"Pearl Harbor, reopen."

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

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

"Everyone knows that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince are brother and sister. They have been as close as one since childhood. Her Royal Highness the Princess is also the major shareholder of your Medici Chamber of Commerce. If she comes forward, this matter can be done."

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

"I won't let you use this strength in vain."

Zhang Mengbin said bluntly: "I know you have been trying to monopolize our banking industry in Guangdong in recent years. As long as you can handle this for us, the four of us can sell you all the stocks of the seventeen banks we hold.

Let your Medici Bank control more than 80% of the entire banking industry in Guangdong, and you understand how huge the wealth is."

Cosimo raised his eyebrows, but still shook his head with a smile.

"Although I'm very excited, I'm very sorry, but I still can't do it."

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

Rather than trusting the credibility of businessmen like Zhang Mengbin, it would be better to wait for the four major families to be doomed.

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

"Cosimo, you foreigner."

"Wait a minute." Cosimo stretched out his hand to interrupt: "President Zhang, let me correct you. I became a Zhongzhou citizen three years ago. This is also my country. You call me a foreigner, and you are a foreigner."

Where are the barbarians?"

"you!"

Zhang Mengbin was just about to get angry when he was held down by Chen Jiading beside him.

"President Cosimo, we all know your plan, but you should also have heard the old saying in Zhongzhou, which is to leave a fine line in everything. There is also the idea that if one prospers, one will prosper, and if one suffers, both will suffer. Everyone in the same industry is doing business in Guangdong. If you can

It's better to help when you need help.

If the four of us collapse, the Manuel Chamber of Commerce collapses, and the South India Company collapses, do you think that when the interests of so many people are harmed, can you still sit back and watch your Medici Chamber of Commerce continue to enjoy its 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 the Medici Chamber of Commerce has done in the stock market and how much money it has stolen.

We know better including whose pocket the money ended up in. Do you think you will end well when the thunder breaks out?

In our place, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, and you will only be the scapegoat, so saving us is also saving yourself.

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

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

Cosimo's face suddenly twitched.

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

Pu Xiangdong's power is too huge and terrifying.

The people of Zhongzhou are not afraid because they have a more powerful country and a King Yu who even Pu Xiangdong must prostrate himself to worship.

But what about his Medici family and his hometown in Florence?

God?

Oh, the Pope's scepter is still in Nanjing at the moment, and God has not come to take it.

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

Cosimo closed his eyes.

"I, can't guarantee that."

"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 major families stood up, nodded to Cosimo and turned to leave.

After walking out of the castle, the four of them looked at each other and then boarded the carriage and left.

Now, they have mobilized all the things they can, the forces and relationships they can mobilize.

The rest depends on how Chen Jinghe responds!
