Chapter 46: The human heart is always the most complex

The Four Seas Commerce Guild is a chamber of commerce alliance composed of overseas Chinese from North and South America, as well as Chinese descendants from Southeast Asia.

The guild wields powerful influence, possessing its independent fleet and armed vessels, treating the entire Pacific Ocean as their own inland sea, dominating all international trade in Pacific Rim countries.

From battleships and artillery to pig bristles and tung oil, there is no business they shy away from or dare not undertake. The annual revenue and profit, without even thinking, is astronomically high.

With such a grand piece of 'fat meat' plainly placed before everyone, if one were to attribute the guild's prosperity to the wisdom of Chinese people or the commercial ethics of the Western world, it would be nothing short of naive… no, incredibly foolish.

It endured a lot of hard struggle and bloodshed back in those days.
