Chapter 136: I'm Her Man
Under the mediation of the government, Hui Niang and the chamber of commerce behind her counterattack were a complete success.
Businessmen of low social status feel the power of unity, and the spirit of all members of the Chamber of Commerce is uplifted.
The bookstore lost money and confessed, and even the ruffians in the city also stopped.
After the incident, many shops in the city that operated other businesses saw the changes brought by the Chamber of Commerce, and many bosses came to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce in person to inquire about joining the Chamber of Commerce.
In the articles of association formulated by Shen Xi, the chamber of commerce is not limited to absorbing merchants who operate pharmacies, as long as they are willing to accept the articles of association of the chamber of commerce and meet the "access system", all walks of life can apply to join. This time, all the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce united to unite on the external affairs of great significance, and many merchants wanted to join in it and be sheltered.
After the initial joy, Hui Niang soon began to worry again.
In the days after the matter was settled, no less than 100 shops in Fucheng alone sent people to the Chamber of Commerce to ask if they could join, and it was a good thing that the Chamber of Commerce could expand, but the problem was that there were too many shops that applied to join, and even the bookstores that had joined forces against her before had to join.
These shops are complex in terms of scale and business direction, and although the access system is well set, she simply does not have the energy and manpower to check whether these stores meet the conditions.
According to what Shen Xi said before, everyone who came to request to join the Chamber of Commerce, she sent an "application form", asking these merchants to fill in the specific situation of their stores, business categories and approximate scales, as well as future development directions, etc., and submit them to the Chamber of Commerce for review. The latest chapter of ĐŊÊi ĐŖÄĐŋ GÃĒ has been updated
When Hui Niang held hundreds of application forms, her eyes were confused, and she really didn't know how to deal with it.
There was really no way, so she had to make a private appointment with Shen Xi and gather in the room on the second floor of the pharmacy to discuss it again during the third shift of the night shift.
Hui Niang came up and showed Shen Xi all the application forms she had received in the past few days, and said the current difficulties of the Chamber of Commerce: "...... At the beginning of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, it was enough for the main hall to invite a guest. Although there are more than 200 pharmacies in the entire Tingzhou Mansion, most of the time they will not come to the city, there are only more than 20 locally, and sometimes I bring a maid to help, and I can always cope with it. But now that so many businesses are accepted at the same time, with the existing manpower, it is not enough to take care of the main hall, let alone send people to assess. â
Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "Didn't there be a charter before?" Just do a little investigation according to the charter, and if you really don't have manpower, simply choose those time-honored brands with a good reputation to join. â
Hui Niang still shook her head, originally she planned to print some more New Year's pictures at the end of the year and make a lot of money. But because there were too many things on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, she was anxious, and the whole person was about to collapse.
"It's not good to choose anyone, some of these businesses are going to the 'elders' church', and some are introduced by other pharmacy owners in the Chamber of Commerce, since I am presiding over the Chamber of Commerce, I can't favor one over the other, and I must ensure openness, fairness and justice, otherwise it will not be convincing." I talked to the elders of the Chamber of Commerce, and they didn't care if they asked me to make up my mind...... It's been a busy few days, and I'm even more tired than the previous integration chamber of commerce. â
Hui Niang sat there, holding her forehead and wanting to take a break, but there were too many things, she couldn't help but open them as soon as she closed her eyes, looking at so many application forms in front of her, and she was upset for a while.
Without a man, I always feel lonely and lonely in the dead of night. She had always wanted to focus on her work to make herself think about it less, but when she encountered difficulties and troubles, she still felt isolated and helpless.
Shen Xi waved his hand: "Auntie, since it's not easy to choose, just absorb it." â
"Huh?"
Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi in surprise, "All come in?" There are so many merchants, I'm afraid it's ...... It's hard to manage, right? â
"What's good or bad to manage, the ultimate goal of the Chamber of Commerce is to become bigger and stronger, increase manpower if there is a shortage of manpower, and rent a bigger one if the venue is not enough. Or...... The previous access system may be a bit problematic, it is better to be a little flexible, in the first year of the Chamber of Commerce, all shops that want to join the Chamber of Commerce, each has to pay five silver entry money, and then every year has to pay an annual fee. With the addition of this clause, many businesses with insufficient strength will retreat. â
Hui Niang thought about it, and nodded first, because she felt that Shen Xi was right, originally merchants didn't have to spend any money to join, but now with the threshold of access money and annual fees, many small shops must be reluctant to join. But in the end, she still shook her head: "Xiaolang, let's set up a chamber of commerce, not to make anyone's money......
Shen Xi said: "Aunt, look at what you said, isn't the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce leased by us?" What to do now without money? Besides, the money will be recorded in the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce, although the money is managed by you, but every incoming and outgoing money will be recorded, taken from the Chamber of Commerce, used in the Chamber of Commerce, why not? â
Hui Niang couldn't find fault at all now, but she was honest and sincere, and she was still a little hesitant.
Shen Xi continued to add: "Aunt, you still have to tell those who come to apply to join the Chamber of Commerce that this is the 'preferential price' for the first year of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and when the Chamber of Commerce becomes bigger and stronger in the future, it is impossible to join the Chamber of Commerce if you want to pay five dollars of silver." If you want to get the benefits and protection of the Chamber of Commerce, but you don't want to pay any price, don't think about good things. â
"Wait for my aunt to talk about this access to money, if those people are not willing to pay, even their introducer has nothing to say, right?"
Hui Niang finally made up her mind, looked at Shen Xi and said resolutely: "Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow." â
After finishing the matter, the pressure in Hui Niang's heart was relieved a little, but she was not in a hurry to send Shen Xi away. Shen Xi came over the first two times, she didn't prepare, this time she was worried, she personally invited Shen Xi, and prepared some food and rewards, or she cooked it herself.
When Shen Xi first met Hui Niang, he tasted her craftsmanship, and later as the business became more and more prosperous, and he found a few maids, he gradually stopped cooking. Shen Xi couldn't help but swallow when he saw the small dishes cooked by Hui Niang herself, which were both beautiful and fragrant, and couldn't wait to taste them when Hui Niang brought the dishes and chopsticks.
"If you like to eat, eat more."
Hui Niang saw that Shen Xi was eating with relish, and she was also very happy, "Xiaolang, you are the time to grow your body, you are so capable now, and when you grow up, I am afraid it will be even more amazing." â
Shen Xi raised his head and looked at Hui Niang with sincere eyes: "When I grow up, I must protect my aunt well and prevent others from bullying you." â
Hui Niang's face was full of gratifying smiles, touched Shen Xi's head, and said in a scolding tone: "Look at your mouth, I don't know how many girls will harm when I grow up, it's good that my aunt won't be bullied by you." â
Hui Niang thought that Shen Xi couldn't understand these slightly ambiguous words, and shook her head with emotion.
But how could Shen Xi not understand? This does seem a bit excessive, but if you pick it carefully, you can't tell whether Hui Niang is intentionally hinting or unintentional, or if Hui Niang just wants to tease him.
"Why don't you eat it, it's not delicious?" Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi who stopped.
Shen Xi came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "Auntie, I'm thirsty." â
Hui Niang suddenly said: "Oh, look at me, I patronized the cooking, I forgot to simmer the soup, fortunately, there is tea, and my aunt will pour it for you." â
Hui Niang is like a virtuous little wife, serving tea and water very carefully.
Shen Xi looked at this scene and panicked in his heart.
After taking a sip of tea, Shen Xi ate a few more mouthfuls of food and said that he was full. Hui Niang took out a handkerchief with a faint fragrance from her cuffs and wiped Shen Xi's mouth, which was the one she usually wears.
Shen Xi wiped his mouth and suddenly held the handkerchief in his hand: "Oops, it's dirty, I'll go back and wash it and return it to my aunt." â
After speaking, he took Hui Niang's handkerchief and went downstairs with a cigarette, and Hui Niang was a little inexplicable.
Shen Xi came to the courtyard below, and looked at the word "Qing" and a plum blossom embroidered by Hui Niang on the handkerchief in the faint light, not knowing the specific meaning, thinking that Hui Niang wanted to use this way to remind herself to "be pure and have few desires" after her husband's death? To be a man like a plum blossom, lonely and proud, spotless?
Shen Xi thought about it for a long time, and figured out something, since Hui Niang doesn't have a man, then I am her man, and I must protect her!
