“Come and have a look at the authentic North District chestnuts.”

There are many teahouses, taverns, pawn shops and workshops on both sides of the streets in Nanshangcheng. There are also many small vendors hawking in the open spaces on both sides of the streets.

Today, Wang Dalu and Li Zhaocai put on their casual clothes and arrived at Nanshan City early in the morning.

A few days ago, Lu Mi sent someone to the North District Deacon's Mansion to tell Wang Dalu to come to Nanshan City today to see the newly opened Mainland Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce was named after Wang Dalu in a simple and straightforward way, which was in line with Wang Dalu's wishes.

For the time being, Mainland China's Chamber of Commerce headquarters is established in Nanshan City, because Wang Mainland has already regarded the Nanshan area as the place where he will develop in the future.

What needs to be done now is to rely on the Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Nanshan City to establish branches throughout the Hou Dynasty, conduct various profitable transactions, and expand sources of money.

There are still many details that need to be discussed in the establishment of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce, but Wang Dalu did not rush to take a look. Instead, he and Li Jinbao strolled leisurely on the streets of Nanshan City.

"Is this you, Boss Li?"

Li Jinbao and Wang Dalu were walking on the street when they suddenly heard someone calling them next to them. When they went back, they saw that it was Mu Shun, his former subordinate in Heifeng Village, known as Xiao Shunzi. They saw him selling chestnuts and said happily.

"It's you, Xiao Shunzi. I didn't expect you to be selling chestnuts here. Everything is fine at home."

The little man Mu Shun was very happy to see Li Jinbao and hurriedly replied.

"It's okay, it's okay, thanks to the care of the uncle and the second uncle."

He thought again and again and added.

"Yes, yes, yes, and Mr. Xiao Wang, he is such a good person."

Wang Dalu was very happy when the man mentioned it to him, so he said casually.

"Why don't you tell me what's good about me?"

Only then did Mu Shun notice the handsome young man beside Li Jinbao. When he saw the young man's face clearly, he exclaimed and wanted to kneel on the ground to salute Wang Dalu.

Wang Dalu helped up the astonished Mu Shun, looked at the chestnuts that Mu Shun was selling and placed a sign that read "North District Deacon's House Wang's Chestnuts" and asked.

"Did you bring these chestnuts from the North District?"

Mu Shun quickly replied.

"Yes, sir, this is what Second Master asked me to sell on my behalf. He said that the number of people roasting chestnuts is gradually increasing in the North District. It's a pity that we can't finish the roasted chestnuts, so he asked me to sell them here."

"Second Master?"

Wang Dalu thought for a moment and then realized that the second master Mu Shun was talking about was the black man Li Zhaocai.

"It's not a long journey from Beiqu Mountain to here. If you travel by foot, it will take more than half a day. How can you still have warm chestnuts?"

"I don't dare to expire, sir. This chestnut does come from the North District Prefecture. It's just that when I got it, the chestnuts were slightly ripe and cannot be eaten by people."

Mu Shun pointed to a big pot next to him and said.

"The chestnuts you get back can be heated in this big pot for a while, and the taste is no different from chestnuts fried in Bei District Prefecture, far better than chestnuts fried in ordinary big pots."

"Sir, you see, there used to be several chestnut stall owners around me. Within three months after I came here, they switched to other businesses because the chestnuts here are so delicious."

Wang Dalu tasted a few carefully and found that the taste was indeed consistent with the chestnuts he fried in the North District before. He suddenly had an idea and said to Mu Shun.

"After noon today, go to the newly opened Mainland Chamber of Commerce on the south side of the street and see Lu Miyanei. Tell me that I asked you to go."

Mu Shun didn't know why and looked at Li Jinbao with a slanted gaze.

Li Jinbao knew what Wang Dalu was thinking and tapped Mu Shun's shoulder with his feather fan.

"You must keep my words in mind and don't think about anything else."

With Li Jinbao's guarantee, Mu Shun couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Wang Dalu and Li Jinbao looked along the street and came to a restaurant called "Fuluju". They saw the tables and chairs idle and thought that there were relatively few people coming to the restaurant to eat in the morning.

He felt hungry and woke up early in the morning without having time to have breakfast.

"You two gentlemen, please take a seat inside."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Wang Dalu and Li Jinbao sat in front of the window of the restaurant and ordered a few side dishes to eat.

While the two were talking, several men dressed roughly came into the store and made a lot of noise. Wang Dalu and Li Jinbao looked at them sideways.

"Stop playing rough tricks on me and quickly hand over this month's guardianship."

I just heard the leading man say a few words lazily to the hotel owner.

The boss, who was in his forties, kept nodding at the visitors, and finally took out a bag of money to make trouble for those people before leaving.

Wang Dalu was surprised and asked the owner of the restaurant what the reason was.

"This boss doesn't know who those people were and why they were so arrogant and unreasonable?"

When the restaurant owner heard Wang Dalu's inquiry, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Dalu and Li Jinbao carefully, and then said after a while.

"You two are not from this city. You don't know. They are the local gangsters in the city. They collect protection fees from our shops every month."

"Oh, so what if we don't pay?"

"No?"

The boss saw no one around and whispered.

"If we don't pay, it will be difficult for our small shop to operate. These people often come here to cause trouble. The officers and soldiers will leave as soon as they come, and the officers and soldiers will come back as soon as they leave."

After the boss finished speaking, he walked over to entertain the diners.

Wang Dalu said to himself.

"Fortunately, my Wolong City does not have such bad habits. No one has ever collected protection fees for the properties I purchased in the city."

Li Jinbao interrupted.

"Sir, although students don't understand business methods, they also know that this bad habit exists in any city, with few exceptions."

Wang Dalu understood what Li Jinbao said, it was just that he had too much power in Wolong City's government office, and those local ruffians had no time to avoid him and they dared to come to ask for death money.

After breakfast, the two of them strolled around for a while and then walked straight to South Street.

South Street is the most prosperous place in the entire Nanshan City. All the rich people in the city have their own shops on South Street.

In the most conspicuous position of South Street, there is a three-story pavilion covering an area of ​​several hundred feet. It dwarfs all the surrounding shops.

In the middle of the pavilion hangs a black gold plaque with four eye-catching characters "Mainland Chamber of Commerce".

However, there were only some guards at the door and no merchants came in or out, making it look a bit depressed.

Without warning from the guard, Wang Dalu quickly walked in. The vice president of the Chamber of Commerce was named Cheng. Cheng Qianjin was a well-known business talent in Nanshan City. Lu Mi invited him to be the vice president of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce.

Cheng Qianjin, who had a big belly and a fat look on his face, drove away the guards who wanted to stop Wang Dalu, and spoke to Wang Dalu with an attentive look on his face.

Accompanied by Cheng Qianjin, Wang Dalu went to the guest room on the third floor and saw Lu Mi talking with someone in the room.

Seeing Wang Dalu and others coming in, Lu Mi quickly introduced the two people in the room to Wang Dalu.

Those two people are itinerant merchants in the two cities closest to Nanshan City. They specialize in buying low and selling far, and they have many business channels.

Although Lu Mi had just founded the Mainland Chamber of Commerce not long ago, he had already started to arrange financial connections in other neighboring cities to prepare for his needs.

After seeing off the merchants, Wang Dalu and others began to discuss the development strategy of the chamber of commerce.

Finally, they reached a unified opinion.

Establish a large-scale commercial escort agency, responsible for picking up and delivering goods and providing security, and is affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.

Set up an organization dedicated to collecting information.

The businesses that I have decided to buy temporarily include restaurants, goods sales and other ordinary businesses.

In the early stage, it was planned to establish several shops in Guangyuan City, the main city of the Hou Dynasty, and in the three counties, and in addition to running the business, they would be responsible for passing on inquiring information.

Wang Dalu is very fond of this chamber of commerce. In his opinion, although the temporary profit is small and the expenditure is quite large, in the future he will slowly turn this chamber of commerce into a cornucopia of continuous money making.

"Brother, I have entrusted the Mainland Chamber of Commerce to you. Feel free to do whatever you want. If you are short of money, just ask Li Jinbao for it."

Seeing that Wang Dalu wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and completely hand over the entire Mainland Chamber of Commerce to him, Lu Mi was moved as one can imagine his trust in him.

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely create a business legend for you!"

Lu Mi looked at Wang Dalu's smiling face, seemed to have thought of something, and said to Wang Dalu again.

"Brother thinks that the organization for collecting information should be handed over to Mr. Li. Mr. Li is responsible for making suggestions on all matters in the government and is suitable for this position."

Wang Dalu stared at Lu Mi.

"Brother, do you really think so?"

After receiving Lu Mi's confirmation, Wang Dalu's face lit up and he immediately asked Li Jinbao to start preparing for this information organization that he considered important.

During this period of time, in his spare time, he would take out the handwritten biography of his ancestor, Emperor Chu, and read it. It can be said that he gained a lot of knowledge and knowledge.

He also knows a thing or two about the balance of power between superiors and subordinates.

"Then who is in charge of this escort agency?"
