The Kingdom of Zephyr has always had a family-oriented tradition, and it was common to talk about things at the dinner table, and Verga was once part of Zephyr, and this custom was also affected.

Lorain Hill was seated first at the table, then the other branch presidents were seated in order, and other important people such as the leader of the fleet of Karites, the manager of the large shop, the head of the workshop, etc., together formed the skeleton of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the dining table, Lorain Hill ate bread in small bites, watched the members of the Chamber of Commerce introduce themselves at one time, and occasionally nodded slightly, and gradually built the structure and composition of the Chamber of Commerce in his mind.

If she is the brain that directs everything in the Chamber of Commerce, then the Chamber of Commerce is divided into several parts.

The first is the president of the local branch, which is mainly responsible for the sale and purchase of local stores, and some crop estates, along with some other chores and a small number of guards.

The second is the manager of the large workshop, which mainly processes the purchased raw materials, such as textiles, oil extraction, shipbuilding, etc., of which shipbuilding is an important industry in Carites.

The third is the leader of the fleet, at present, the Chamber of Commerce has three large fleets, mainly for trade between the South China Sea Islands and the Verdant Empire, and 16 other scattered small fleets, which are also equipped with artillery on the sea ships and have a certain combat effectiveness.

Fourth, the team manager, who is mainly responsible for the purchase and transportation of goods from some raw material production areas on land, and has its own armed escort.

Since many of them were new faces, and even though there were still many people who hadn't finished introducing them after Lorain Hill had finished their meal, Chelsea asked the maids to put away the dishes, then put on new tablecloths and serve refreshments.

As a harbor city, Hopeland is not too hot even in summer, but considering the large number of people in the hall, the housekeeper Seres arranged for the maids to bring in about 20 ice stickers and put them in the corners of the hall, and the temperature slowly dropped.

Finally, after the cadres of the Chamber of Commerce introduced, Lorain Hill also briefly introduced himself.

.....

"Due to the sudden death of my father, I will take over the Chamber of Commerce in the future."

Her gaze slowly swept across the audience, some of them did not seem to care, some looked at her suspiciously, some wanted to speak and stopped, some lowered their heads and did not say a word, and some seemed to be more interested in her appearance. ‘

Lorain Hill is not surprised, after all, this matter is very sudden, it is not immediately acceptable to change anyone, and she is too young, and it is normal for some people to distrust and worry, after a slight pause, she motioned for Chelsea to take out a suicide note, of course, the one that was made public on the surface, which showed that Angus transferred all his property to his descendant, Lacey.

The suicide note was carefully held in Chelsea's hand and shown to the members present one by one. Loren Hill, on the other hand, sat in his seat, quietly observing the expressions of the members, and then kept jotting them down.

After a circle, most of the chamber of commerce cadres present recognized the leadership position after Lorain Hill, although the Karitas Chamber of Commerce was created by Angus, but he only had 60% of the shares before his death, and the remaining 40% of the shares were scattered among these chamber of commerce cadres, on the one hand, it was an incentive, and on the other hand, it was also a firm retention of some talented people.

"Is there anything else going on at the Chamber of Commerce lately?" Lorain Hill asked, wanting a brief overview of the current situation.

"Hello Miss, due to the sudden death of Lord Angus, many other chambers of commerce are afraid of our disintegration, and have recently begun to urge the settlement of accounts."

"How often were the accounts cleared?" Loren Hill asked.

"In the past, the large chambers of commerce cleaned up the accounts once a year, and the small chambers of commerce for half a year, and the current chamber of commerce has limited liquidity and cannot pay it all."

"Let the small chamber of commerce sort out the accounts by themselves, and then settle the accounts with us in order, explain in advance, if there are any false statements and false declarations, they will wait until next year, so that they can slowly settle themselves, and we will come one by one." This will allow for a buffer in the time difference and give them peace of mind. ”

"The big chamber of commerce, they have a strong ability to resist pressure, not bad time, just as usual, once a year, if you still ask for the settlement of accounts in the near future, report to me, I will visit in person."

"Next, move on."

"Due to the recent civil unrest in Zephyr, many of the raw materials that are normally purchased in Zephyr have been affected a lot." One of the team leaders said with some distress.

"Which ones are important and need to be acquired by Zephyr?"

"Mainly wood, fruits, cotton, the rest of the amount is not large, can also be supplemented in other places."

"Related to these raw materials, don't take orders recently, how many raw materials are missing from existing orders?" Loren Hill asked.

"Back to Miss, as for the timber, the shipyard still has a little stockpile, and a few other ships that were originally prepared for us to be delivered will probably be barely completed."

"Okay, if you don't have a lot of money, let the fleet go to the Verdant Empire to replenish it, there is also a lot of timber production over there, but it's not cost-effective to transport it too far in normal times."

"Cotton's words... Have you been spinning a lot of fabrics lately? “

"Yes, eldest miss, Zephyr has been urgently recruiting troops recently, and many nobles over there have ordered burqas and uniform military uniforms from us."

"Suspend orders, the orders of the big nobles are not in a hurry, and a small number of orders will be completed first." Lorain Hill suspects that these Favonius nobles can't wait to receive their goods.

"As for fruits, let the fleet go to the South China Sea Islands to procure them."

Lorain Hill dealt with all kinds of problems quickly, his wrist was orderly, and he could grasp the key to the problem at once, which couldn't help but surprise.

"Okay, next, any questions?"

"Hello Miss, now that the west wind is in civil strife, many chambers of commerce have begun to store grain, should we also store some."

"No, as usual, besides, we don't have a lot of money these days." Lorain Hill shook his head as he held his teacup.

Although it is foreseeable that the price of food will rise, it is the most important thing to get through it smoothly now, and it is not clear whether the Tisiphones will have a next step, they are professional warmongers.

Then Lorain Hill dealt with some issues flexibly, and finally slowly dismissed the meeting until late at night.

After the meeting, the people of the Chamber of Commerce slowly left the venue, and Lorain Hill was alone at the table, rubbing his head with his fingers.

"Good work, miss." Chelsea handed over a white towel to Lorain Hill to wipe his hands, and then asked the maids to clean up the messy table.

"Hmm... It feels like a lot of things, did you use it before?"

"Not so much, I guess it's the sudden departure of Lord Angus that makes everyone a little uneasy, I want to get a reassuring answer from you."

"The eldest lady is very good, not at all sixteen or seventeen years old."

"I'm not that good." Lorain Hill stood up from his chair, moved slightly, and denied with a smile.

"Yes, but I see that those stewards look relieved and admired before leaving, and the result is not as modest as you say."
