However, due to Liu Fan's ruthless methods in Jiaolai and Jiaolai Prefectures, although everyone was extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to oppose Liu Fan's resolution openly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info could only anxiously look at Li Si, hoping that he could come forward to persuade Liu Fan.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Li Si smiled bitterly in his heart, as the main organizer of this conference, he could only step forward and arch his hand, "Overseer, is your decision too overbearing?" Once they are forbidden to go to sea to do business, the impact will be too great, and it will be very unfavorable to the development of our Jiaolai and Jiaolai! So, Overseer, can you open the net and leave a way for the big guys to live? ”

Liu Fan sneered and said, "Did I persecute you? You must know that there is no such thing as a free dinner in this world, and anyone who wants to get something must first learn to give. It's just an ordinary small trader who wants to make money and has to pay the capital first, your business is so big, you won't even understand such a simple truth, right? The main purpose of this trip to Japan is to open up trade routes, so you can't wait for us to come and pick up ready-made ones after we've worked hard, right? Is there such a good thing in the world? If so, please tell the Governor, so that the Governor will also be exposed. ”

Liu Fan's words were reasonable, and everyone was speechless, all of them were smart people, how could they not understand such a simple way of doing business? Clearly, if you want them to pay a huge price for this, no one will be willing to do it. But now Liu Fan's words have made it very clear that if you want to get a piece of the pie in the future of maritime trade, you must make an investment in advance now. Now the situation is stronger than people, even if there is more unwillingness in his heart, he can only bow his head in the face of the knife in Liu Fan's hand.

After everyone discussed in a whisper, they finally reached a temporary agreement, and Li Sichu asked Liu Fan, "Overseer, we also know the truth you said, since the Overseer is for the benefit of our business community, then we should also contribute, but I don't know what kind of charter the Overseer's so-called cooperation is?" Can you say a word or two? ”

Liu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the governor didn't want you to pay much price, maybe you have heard about it." My Jiaozhou has now reached an agreement with the Zheng family in Anping, and according to the agreement, all ships from Jiaozhou to overseas places will be protected by the Zheng family. But this agreement is limited to the official power of Jiaozhou, and the fleets of some private retail investors are not protected. As you know, piracy is rampant, and it is very difficult and dangerous to sail to the sea, either to pay protection money to the Zheng family, or to have strong strength. But obviously you don't have the latter. The Governor also wants to bring you into the official sphere of influence in Jiaozhou. It's also for your safety! ”

Liu Fan first explained the reason to everyone, and then continued, "The Governor's cooperation method is actually very simple. It was the establishment of a Jiaozhou Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce led by the Broken Army, with the Governor as the honorary president. Those who join the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to enjoying the protection of the Jiaozhou Fleet and the Zheng family, can also enjoy various tax reduction and exemption policies in Jiaozhou Bay. All you have to pay is a small fee, and you have to pay some obligations. ”

"Chamber of Commerce?" The hearts of everyone suddenly relaxed, originally everyone thought that Liu Fan opened his mouth, and everyone was ready to make some blood, but they didn't expect that Liu Fan's request would be so simple in the end.

Seeing the happy expressions of everyone below, Liu Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Among them, this chamber of commerce has many other benefits, in addition to enjoying various preferential policies for the Broken Army, this chamber of commerce can also provide a platform for everyone to communicate." Any member who joins the Chamber of Commerce can pay a small fee to post information requests for goods to buy and sell at the Chamber of Commerce, and then the Chamber of Commerce will guarantee you to provide you with someone to trade. Realize the sharing of resources and information, so that everyone can get what they want in the shortest possible time. The mall is like a battlefield, and we believe that everyone understands this truth, and with this information platform, you can get some useful information or urgently needed goods faster than others. For example, a person discovers that the price of salt has risen in a certain place, but he does not have enough goods in his hands to make a profit. Then he can publish information in the chamber of commerce to buy the goods he needs, and if the chamber of commerce has many members, then he can get the goods in the shortest possible time and earn profits. In fact, the Governor also wants to provide you with some potential connections and avoid the pain of travel. Moreover, with the guarantee of the Governor, it can also avoid vicious competition among the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and provide a stable and peaceful business environment for everyone. ”

In fact, there are some chamber of commerce groups formed by businessmen themselves. However, these chambers of commerce are often formed for the sake of interests, although there are some intersections between members, but when it comes to the details of transactions, they are often resolved privately between members. There has never been such an open exchange as Liu Fan's. There are many smart people who react quickly, and they are very keen to grasp the key points of the matter. If what Liu Fan said can be realized, then this chamber of commerce is a thing worth celebrating for everyone here.

But is all this really as good as Liu Fan said? With questions and apprehension in his heart, someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask, "Lord Commander, the Chamber of Commerce you mentioned is indeed very good, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to establish, right?" There is a way that it is difficult to reconcile the mouths of many people, and things become complicated when there are many people, and between villains, this matter still needs to be discussed! ”

Liu Fan looked at the man calmly, "What?" Don't you believe it with the Governor as a surety? The Governor also knows that this matter will not be easy, so he has summoned everyone to discuss this matter today. Besides, after listening to what the Governor has said, you should also think of how much the Governor has paid for this Chamber of Commerce. With so many benefits in front of you, will anyone not be tempted? The Governor has fully demonstrated the sincerity of our Breakers, and I don't mind kicking anyone out if they don't know what's going on. Think for yourselves where to go! ”

Liu Fan no longer paid attention to everyone's reactions, but slowly picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. Seeing Liu Fan's reaction, everyone also understood that this was Liu Fan's ultimatum. Should I join? For a while, everyone had no idea. To be honest, according to Liu Fan's conditions, no matter what you say, they are too cheap. But it is precisely because there are so many benefits that everyone is more cautious in their hearts. Who knows if this is a trap set by Liu Fan? Now what Liu Fan said is good, once they get on the thief ship, it will be difficult to think about it. If Liu Fan regrets it halfway, who will they go to cry to? (To be continued.) )
