Chapter 109 Gathering of Firms (2)

The congested crowd separated the two sides, and the motorcade of the Chase Chamber of Commerce came smoothly to the front of the Chamber of Commerce Hall. It's just that at this moment, the door of the guild hall is closed and open, and the front of the door is already full of large and small caravans.

The Commercial Metropolis is a commercial capital city, wide and large. This is a temporary hall built by the three major chambers of commerce, although it is only a temporary function, but the façade decoration and taste here are all top-notch.

The Shangdu Hall is four stories high, covering an area of dozens of acres, which can be said to be the largest building in Luoyang Chengli today.

Looking at such a luxurious and atmospheric hall, the guys of the Chase Chamber of Commerce were stunned in place, giving birth to a sense of humility and insignificance. In fact, to put it bluntly, these people are just a bunch of little boys who do chores, and they can bear the occasional pride, and when they suddenly see such a grand scene, they are naturally a little timid in their hearts.

"Hmph, where did the old townsman come from, he still wants to come and cut in line!"

"Are you dumbfounded to see such a big hall?

"I think you'd better go back to your hometown......!

"Shame on you!"

"Hahaha-"

......

There were bursts of contemptuous ridicule around him, and the guys from the Chase Chamber of Commerce were angry and ashamed when they heard it.

Shu Lan was obviously used to seeing such a scene, and her expression was very calm.

"People look down on you, but you have to look down on yourself. This is what Shu Lan often says to herself, and she has been working hard like this.

"Hmph! Who dares to be presumptuous?! and drive them all out of Luoyang with Lao Tzu......

Seeing that the Chase Chamber of Commerce was ridiculed, Xu Hongbo's face was like frost. He doesn't care if you are a businessman or a hurtful person, in the eyes of people in the rivers and lakes, he is just a group of fat lambs. If he allowed Shu Lan and the others to be humiliated in front of him today, then he, the leader of the patrol, would not want to continue to do it.

The atmosphere is solemn!

Feeling the unkind gaze of a patrolman, the people in the surrounding business houses were silent one by one, and the people who spoke just now didn't dare to come out.

"Human affection is like drinking water, and you know ...... warmth and coldness"

Shu Lan sighed secretly, then turned to Xu Hongbo and said, "Brother Xu doesn't need to be so angry, if you can't withstand even this little blow, then our Chamber of Commerce won't be able to operate today." ”

Xu Hongbo nodded, and couldn't help but look up to the girl in front of him a little in his heart. It seems that the other party can get Ling Tong's admission, it is not a fluke.

I only heard Shu Lan continue: "Brother Xu, it's really troublesome for you today, Shu Lan is really grateful." Looking at your outfits, I think you all have important things to do, so it is inconvenient for me to delay you here. ”

"This ......"

Xu Hongbo looked around for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay! We do still have important things to do, so we won't stay here anymore, if Miss Shu has something to order, you can come to me at any time." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xu. ”

"Miss Shu is welcome, Xu said goodbye...... Let's go. ”

With that, Xu Hongbo waved his hand and led a group of guards away.

Shu Lan watched a few people leave, and then said to Uncle Miao and the others: "Let's get ready, let's go in too." ”

......

――――――――――――

At this time, people come and go in the commercial city hall, hurrying by, and it is a busy scene.

If a firm wants to enter the commercial capital, it must take out the goods in hand and the account book of the annual record to register and audit them one by one, and rank the wealth through accounting. Only the top 100 firms are eligible to join the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and have the right to open stores and trade goods in the guild hall.

When the hour comes, the hall is officially opened.

At the entrance of the hall, nearly 100 guys began to count the goods, and more than a dozen people in the side of the tent room kept counting the beads.

"Codonopsis, angelica, Ganoderma lucidum...... A number of medicinal herbs, worth 500 gold. ”

"Gold, silver, silk...... A number of silk, simply three hundred gold. ”

"Han, Song, Tang...... There are a number of antique calligraphy and paintings, which are simply 3,000 gold. ”

"Jiujiang Commercial Bank, the total value of commercial goods is 3,800 gold, deducting one layer, totaling 3,420 gold. ”

......

A middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes stood at the interface, counting the goods of each trading house one by one, and letting him go after ordering one.

However, just as the men stepped forward to carry the goods, the boss of the Jiujiang Commercial Bank hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Shopkeeper You, in previous years, the tax profits of the rally were half a layer, why should you deduct as much as one layer this year?"

Shopkeeper You said with a smile: "Boss Hu, this is the tax profit set by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but I didn't mess around." ”

"How can you do this?!"

The Boss Hu said with a disgruntled face: "Now the world is not good, business is already difficult to do, your Chamber of Commerce Alliance has increased taxes and profits so much, how can we small business banks live?"

In this way, several commercial houses behind him echoed it.

Indeed, in order to maintain the balance of commerce and trade, the Chamber of Commerce should collect some tax profits, but if the tax profits are too heavy, those smaller business houses will be unprofitable and will eventually lead to their demise.

Seeing the emotional resistance of the merchants, Shopkeeper You smiled disdainfully and said, "What? You don't want to give tax profits?

"You...... You ......"

"What are you?"

Shopkeeper You swept over the people in the business house and snorted coldly: "You all listen to me, the first layer of tax profits is the rule set by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and anyone who doesn't want to pay it can go back from where they want...... In short, if you don't pay taxes and profits, don't think about entering the door of this commercial metropolis. ”

When everyone in the firm heard this, they were immediately deflated. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance is like a behemoth for these small business houses, and it is not something they can shake. There was no other way for them to do it than to swallow their anger.

......

At the back of the team, Xiao Ying waved her fist angrily and said, "Miss, isn't the Chamber of Commerce Alliance amazing, it's really hateful to bully people like this." ”

Shu Lan shook her head and sighed speechlessly. This kind of thing is not uncommon for her, not to mention these small business houses, even if it is a chamber of commerce with a little family background like herself, it is helpless.

There is an essential difference between the commercial bank and the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of commerce alliance is composed of dozens of chambers of commerce...... The means of unifying commercial prices, allocating materials, balancing transactions, etc., are all decided through the alliance of chambers of commerce. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance is actually controlled by the three major chambers of commerce, and the other chambers of commerce have become vassals.

At the beginning, the Chase Chamber of Commerce was not attached to the three major chambers of commerce, which caused the other party to join forces to suppress it. Over the years, in order to keep the Chase Chamber of Commerce's place in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Shu Lan's father has worked hard, and finally became ill from hard work, and had to let his daughter come out and show up, which is really helpless!

"Next!"

Shopkeeper You shouted loudly, and his face was full of meaning.

After a while, it was the turn of the Chase Chamber of Commerce, and Shu Lan took the lead and stepped forward.
