On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the genius was bright, and some people who were in a hurry just came out of front of them, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

Horse-drawn carriages passed in front of each family like a long queue, heading in the direction of the art garden, and gradually, several streets outside the art garden were full of horse-drawn carriages.

"Hey, why is there a meeting recently, and there are more businessmen coming over every time?" Zhou Dahai got off the carriage and looked at the impassable streets, very happy.

"Let's go quickly, we'll start right away." Meng Cunlang got off the carriage next to him, dropped a sentence and walked to the art garden.

A quarter of an hour later, the hall was almost as full as it had been when it opened.

On the stage, Dong Ce's expression was as usual, and he said loudly: "Now everyone outside says that we are holding a Fengyun meeting, hehe, it is a very good description, the so-called opportunity is like the wind and clouds, it is invisible, it can't be touched!" Now, in order to seize this opportunity, it is not good for everyone to be blind or even kill each other, and take advantage of this meeting to set up a chamber of commerce! As he spoke, Dong Ce clapped his hands, and suddenly, the group walked out of the backstage and sent the documents in their hands to the merchants one by one.

After hearing Dong Ce's words before, many businessmen were a little surprised, even if they could calm down, they were surprised, but more often they couldn't figure out what this chamber of commerce was for?

When they got a thin book in their hands, everyone opened it and looked at it, and the more they looked at it, the more surprised they became.

In fact, there is already a small-scale form of chamber of commerce in Daning Jiangnan, but for the sake of a little concession, such as the formation of a commercial guild, it is just that the old man Dong feels that after there are more merchants in the Western Regions, the competition will continue to expand, and the previous batch of silk can be exchanged for a cart of furs, as well as many gold and silver utensils and gems and spices, if it is not too troublesome. You can also get a large number of cattle, sheep and orchids, etc., and now, because too many merchants go to the Western Regions, many people in the Western Regions have learned from the Han people to start trading, and there are also merchants in the Great Food Country who saw the wealth of Middle-earth and began to travel east.

All this will lead to a depreciation of the commodity. In order to gain a firm foothold in the future, Mr. Dong set up a business association, in addition to doing some business by himself, he also helped some merchants to resell goods and make some errand money.

The biggest difference between the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce of the Later World is that there are no peers in it!

However, in these years, the idea of the merchant guild has been at the most advanced, and has been imitated by many merchants, and now. Dong Ce's sentiments are obviously at a higher level, and they are simply blessed and enjoy the same hardships!

This makes many people hesitate, especially sitting in business, they have no experience in business, plus what is the situation of Dong Ce's family, it is scary to think about it!

However, the most important thing that they could not cut their hands was to twist them into a rope. Fight against foreign invasions!

There are a lot of outsiders, and there are sworn enemies in the same industry. There were foreign merchants, but more importantly there was persecution by the nobles!

Judging from the hijacking of the Dong family's merchant ship, smart people can see that if there is no participation in the Shi clan, may it be robbed? Maybe you won't be able to catch up with any of the goods? Even if the nobles were not involved, they had no intention of helping the merchants. This is a nightmare for the merchants, because one day disaster will befall them!

"Because of the urgency of time, there are only 100 copies of the materials, so new friends can read one with your introducer. If you don't understand it, you can ask questions, and you can also raise it face to face if you have objections to the regulations, since the Chamber of Commerce wants to be mutually beneficial, it should be above board, the opportunity is in front of you, and those who join the Chamber of Commerce can immediately share the procurement route, and you can be the first to know what opportunities there are in the future. Dong Ce's words made everyone anxious.

Today's meeting is to decide the procurement route, after all, everyone is afraid that too many people will ship back the same goods, which will lead to price depreciation, and if you go it alone, the number of purchases is too small, and there will be no Chamber of Commerce discount in price.

"Hmph, I still have to think about it, don't waste time, Lao Tzu's people are waiting at the dock, and they are still thinking about a fart." After Zhou Dahai finished speaking, he got up and said to Dong Ce: "I said Dong boy, what do you mean by the mess of the member congress, the board of directors, and the board of supervisors?" It's still bigger than what will grow, and this must be finalized before everyone can hit the road. ”

Dong Ce smiled slightly, and roughly explained the structure of the Chamber of Commerce, which suddenly made Zhou Dahai blush, and many businessmen also laughed.

In addition to the general meeting of all members, the rest of the council, board of supervisors, president, vice president, secretary general, etc., must be elected as a result.

In this way, those who are ambitious naturally want to run for the chairman, even if they can't be a council member, they have to get a seat on the board of supervisors, and those who are not ambitious and afraid of being cheated naturally want to enter the board of supervisors, while some people who are troublesome naturally keep their mouths shut and rely on these thankless positions.

When there was a commotion below, Dong Ce arranged for two guys to move a blackboard to the stage, coughed lightly, and said: "Next, first elect the first president of the Chamber of Commerce, who is willing to take on this position, sign up now, and then after voting, the one with the most votes is competent." After speaking, Dong Ce wrote his name on it.

Dong Ce, as the initiator of the Chamber of Commerce, this first session is the only one in the eyes of everyone, anyway, it is only five years, if the Chamber of Commerce is really strong in the past five years, he can earn more money for himself, and it is not too late for him to compete.

However, after a moment of silence, someone got up and said, "I'm not talented, and I want to take the position of this president!" ”

The person who spoke was a man of thirty-five or sixteen, not very brightly dressed, but his bearing was very modest, and those who knew him were even more surprised, secretly thinking that it was no wonder that he dared to speak!

This person is none other than the son of Weng Beiwen, the capital of Ningzhou, Weng Jian!

"Who else?" Dong Ce nodded at Weng Jian and looked at everyone.

After not hearing a response for a long time, Dong Ce smiled slightly, and asked everyone to start voting.

Because of the concern that many people do not know too many words, the vote is just to write "one" or "two" on a small slip of paper.

Because Dong Ce had already arranged for people to remind him, the voting ended quickly, and the result was not surprising, Dong Ce won with an absolute advantage.

Although Weng Jian is the son of Weng Beiwen, the capital of Ningzhou, it is precisely because he is only a son, not Weng Beiwen himself, and those who know him well know that this guy is far inferior to Weng Lao, and it is very risky to make him the president.

Weng Jian was not surprised, but his face was also a little unsightly, after all, his votes were less than one-tenth of Dong Ce's!

And next, it is time to elect a director, for some people, this is a thankless errand, because there is no money to get, and it is a waste of time, but some people think that only by becoming a director can they have a say in the chamber of commerce, and they can be the first to know what plans they have, and they can also oppose it if they perceive the risk.

Therefore, there were as many as 20 people in this election, and in the end, only eight people were successful, namely Zhou Dahai, Meng Cunlang, Wang Fuyan, Lu Kexuan, Mei Niangzi, Zhang Tan, Yang Jing and Weng Jian, who had just been depressed for a long time!

After that, more people are running, especially the board of supervisors, which can be described as fierce competition, after all, you have to pay membership dues every year to join the union, and you don't want to insert your own people to spy on you, who knows what you do with our money?
