Chapter 342: Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce
In terms of food alone, the level of the castle guard is pretty good. Hanhai's Jiaolong is brought to the table, which is a large-scale, high-standard, using the traditional techniques of the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas to cook a variety of dishes, the taste is unusual.
Tasting the food and wine, time passed little by little, and in front of him were people coming and going, and people from all walks of life also knew each other.
However, Zhou Ming always felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.
"Brother Lei, with all due respect, it seems that here, you don't treat you very well!"
Zhou Ming looked at Lei Qingfeng, who was smiling and smiling, but actually didn't smile, and couldn't help but joke in a low voice.
Lei Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Little brother, are you very popular here?"
When Zhou Ming heard this, he looked stunned. To be honest, he seems to be very unpopular here. At least the bureaucrats and the figures from the legion have always been in a state of eyeing each other, and they have never given any good faces.
Lei Qingfeng saw that Zhou Ming was deflated, and finally smiled happily, and then said in a low voice, "I recently heard that they are going to form a joint business group to jointly develop the Otherworld." The Hanhai Society and the Shanhai Society, which are the top chambers of commerce at the same level as our Sea Dragon Society, have no objections. What do you think other chambers of commerce should do? What should I do?"
"Who has that ability?"
Zhou Ming's heart shook slightly, and he couldn't help but ask. He knew very well what a terrifying force these chambers of commerce would be once they united.
"The city guard mansion and the Jingwei Division set up the stage, Ye Jiantian and Luo Tianchen launched it with the strength of the legion, and the military, politics, and business circles were a trinity. Once this kind of thing has a prototype, it is simply unstoppable, and the benefits in it are even more immeasurable. Who can resist you saying such a good thing?"
Lei Qingfeng's eyes were very solemn, and he said in a rather uneasy tone.
Obviously, he didn't want to join the group because he had cards in his hand that no one else could have imagined. Because he has a guest Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan has mastered the incredible magic of transforming into a beast. In the large-scale beast business, his advantage is unshakable. With such a hole card in his hand, why should he be in cahoots with those people.
However, when Zhou Ming heard this, he couldn't help but have a word in his mind - monopoly. Almost instantly, he understood the intention of the group that Lei Qingfeng was talking about. Huddles are just the beginning, and monopoly is the real goal.
The benefits of developing the Otherworld are huge enough to make the entire kingdom soar and embark on the road to empire. If the monopoly can be completed from the early stage, and the participation of latecomers can be restricted through various means, then wealth and resources will inevitably roll in, beyond imagination.
It's hard to do something like this in the young Roaring Kingdom, but in the inheritance of the ancient Mountain and Sea Kingdom, it's just natural.
It is impossible for the military, bureaucrats, or businessmen to ignore such a great opportunity, and it is impossible not to be tempted to go crazy by the huge profits.
"You've decided to go your own way?"
Zhou Ming asked in a deep voice.
"I choose to believe you!"
Lei Qingfeng stopped smiling, looked at Zhou Ming calmly and said, "The will of the association is to join, but this time, I still won't compromise." Brother, we are in danger. And just tonight, I have to take a stand! My position is about my fate. And my fate depends on your talents, brother!"
At this moment, Zhou Ming felt real trust. In the depths of his heart, he finally recognized and truly accepted Lei Qingfeng's brother.
Zhou Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I can't promise you a bright future, but I will do my best and promise not to betray first." ”
"Good!"
Lei Qingfeng nodded, and smiled again, "Then, they are them, we are us! We will compete with a behemoth, which is very exciting! We are alone, we are in a bad situation, and they have military support, official protection, and there are many people." I think...... them all - all of them!"
This is worthy of an upper-class gathering, during the whole process, Zhou Ming and Chen Ting were not harassed or provoked in any way, at least on the surface, everyone seemed very decent and maintained the most basic restraint.
Young talents always want to find opportunities to get close to Nicholas Chen, but unfortunately they can't get past Zhou Ming's hurdle, and Nicholas Chen is unmoved, so even if they are first-class talents, they all return disappointed.
The daughters and celebrities are relatively restrained, but there are not a few people who secretly send autumn waves to Zhou Ming. However, the tenderness between Zhou Ming's smile made these girls feel the coldness of the teenager. Because Zhou Ming has never looked at them from beginning to end. His gentleness is only for Chen Ting.
Before you know it, the night is late, and the banquet has turned to the main topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this banquet!"
Ao Haisheng's voice sounded, although the voice was not loud, but it was full of energy. The entire ballroom then fell silent. The servants quickly retreated, and everyone's eyes turned to the supreme power in Chixuan City.
Ao Haisheng's gaze slowly swept over everyone, not angry but arrogant, "Today's banquet is a grand gathering of you businessmen, and we should avoid it." However, as one of the first merchants to be allowed to enter the Atlas, it is necessary for the rank to set an example and set the necessary rules. For this reason, the Chixuan City Guards are duty-bound, and the City Guards Mansion and Jingwei Division are even more duty-bound. Only when we work together can we truly achieve our goals and deliver resources for the development of the kingdom faster and better. For this reason, the City Guard Mansion and the Jingwei Division deliberately united with the military to form a joint organization specifically for the development of other worlds. The group is based on the Chamber of Commerce, and in addition to following the basic rules, it will enjoy a variety of benefits and conveniences to the greatest extent. The specific regulations will be explained to you by General Luo Tianchen, the representative of the military!"
As Aohai's words fell, there couldn't help but talk in the banquet hall. Obviously, not everyone is as well-informed as Lei Qingfeng. Not every chamber of commerce is qualified to participate in the planning of this matter.
"Ahem, please be quiet!"
After everyone talked about it for a while, Luo Tianchen finally spoke up, turned his hand and took out a beautiful animal skin scroll and said, "The development of the other world is related to the prosperity of the kingdom, and we must not be hasty." There is only one Otherworld, with limited resources, and we are competing with the Roaring Kingdom across the mountain. This time, we plan to set up a Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce to deal with the development of the other world. Of course, we do not force it, and adopt the principle of voluntary participation! Whether you want to join the joint chamber of commerce or not, you can consider it according to the actual situation. Next, I would like to focus on the preferential policies that the United Chamber of Commerce can enjoy......"
With Luo Tianchen's introduction one by one, everyone began to figure out the situation.
"What? The Kingdom only levies 10% of the total value of the income of the members of the United Chamber of Commerce as a commercial tax, and other organizations or individuals take 30%?"
"Members of the United Chamber of Commerce will be eligible to hire mercenaries and even legionnaires to enter the Red Xuan Ghost Realm together?"
"Members of the United Chamber of Commerce will have no less than ten additional teleportation array uses per month?"
......
Lei Qingfeng and Zhou Ming's faces changed and changed, because these preferential policies were too tempting. To a large extent, these preferential policies have seriously weakened Lei Qingfeng's competitive advantage.
"Who the hell could have such a big deal to do such an amazing thing?"
Chen Ting couldn't help but ask, feeling very incredible. Because the consequences of these preferential policies are too staggering. In the future, anyone who wants to get involved in the various businesses of the Chixuan Ghost Realm will inevitably join the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce. If this development continues, how terrifying will the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce eventually grow? This is simply to take the opportunity to dominate the business world of the Shanhai Kingdom.
You must know that Chixuan City will definitely be fully opened in the future, and when the time comes, merchants from all walks of life in the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas can come here and go to the other world to win opportunities.
The people who can prescribe such conditions and promote this kind of thing are not good for the City Guard Mansion and the Jingwei Division, nor can they add a few legions, because this matter is enough to shake the country's foundation, and there must be more terrifying existence behind it. That terrifying existence, Shiyou is a royal relative with an incomparably respected status, and his power must be extremely amazing.
"It is the absolute big man of the entire Mountain and Sea Kingdom, the first big man second to none!"
Lei Qingfeng smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and then entered a state of silence, watching the representatives of the Hanhai Society sign the contract and choose to join the Chamber of Commerce, and then see the representatives of the Shanhai Society choosing to join......
"Sea Dragon Society, Lei Qingfeng, what do you think?"
Luo Tianchen held the contract of the United Chamber of Commerce in his hand, looked at Lei Qingfeng, and asked with interest.
As the only representative of the Chamber of Commerce who has never expressed his position, Lei Qingfeng has become an outlier. Everyone else turned their eyes to him.
"I'll think about it again!"
Lei Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile on his face.
"Are you trying to go against the tide?"
Luo Tianchen's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice without questioning, "What does the Sea Dragon Club mean, have you ever taken it to heart?"
"I repeat!"
Feeling the faint threat in Luo Tianchen's words, Lei Qingfeng's face froze, and he declared in a deep voice, "I, Lei Qingfeng, am the person in charge of all the business of the Red Xuancheng Branch of the Sea Dragon Society!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent and silent.
Everyone knows that Lei Qingfeng really wants to go against the tide.
The crowd was amazed at the young man's courage, but at the same time, they laughed at his stupidity. A qualified businessman would never be so reckless and ignore such huge interests. At the same time, everyone knows better what will happen to a branch leader who openly defies the will of the general association.
"Humph!"
A cold snort tore apart the silence, Ye Jiantian looked directly at Lei Qingfeng with cold eyes, and reprimanded sharply, "I don't know how to lift!"
Lei Qingfeng shook his head, looked at Ye Jiantian, and said with a slight smile, "Lifting? My Lei Qingfeng's size, how can you lift it?" I'm sorry, I said earlier that I would consider it, and I want to take it back. Now, I clearly tell you, Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce, I, Lei Qingfeng, will never participate!" I want to chat with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
