Chapter 454 Current Situation of the Chamber of Commerce
Zhu Mingqing looked surprised, as Lao Luo had guessed it right.
Is this an attempt to increase the Wan family's power in the Chamber of Commerce?
Master Wan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm sure Madam Ming has guessed it. Master Su has always been aggressive and has no foresight, only focusing on immediate gains. He has also caused chaos in the Chamber of Commerce in recent years."
"I'm old now, and I don't know how many more years I can serve as president. For the future development of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, I implore Madam Ming to consider this!"
Zhu Mingqing really didn't expect that the other party wanted her to be the vice president.
Just look at the attitudes of those people today and you will know it is impossible!
Besides, she had no intention of doing so!
"Madam, please don't refuse yet. Why don't you first listen to the benefits that will come to the Ming family after he becomes the vice president?" Master Wan advised earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingqing was immediately taken advantage of.
She coughed lightly: "Then... tell me!"
Mr. Wan was very tactful. He first praised Madam Ming for her reliable character and strong background, saying that she was very suitable to be the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and interrupted:
"Master Wan, business!"
Master Wan chuckled and said, "Look at me, I'm really excited to see the prey. Then let's talk about the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce."
The Chamber of Commerce has a long history and has existed in various states and counties since the founding of Nanxia.
The Youzhou Chamber of Commerce was established thirty years ago.
At that time, Mr. Wan was still an inconspicuous shopkeeper.
After Prince Huai came to Youzhou, the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the royal family became increasingly close. However, due to the special territory of Youzhou, to the north was the Hu people's grassland territory, and better development was possible only to the south.
However, because Prince Huai is conservative and does not attach importance to communicating with chambers of commerce in other places, the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce has remained isolated to this day.
"But Madam Ming, don't worry about that. As long as you can become the vice president of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, you can participate in exhibitions held by chambers of commerce in various places in the name of vice president."
Zhu Mingqing raised an eyebrow: "If you can participate, why is the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce still going it alone?"
Master Wan sighed, "The Chamber of Commerce didn't pay much attention to these things in the past. In the past few years that I've been in charge, I've always brought people to participate, but unfortunately, I don't have any unique goods. Furthermore, although I'm a loner, I'm not as independent and helpless as my wife thinks. We have a good relationship with the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce."
However, the situation of Jizhou Chamber of Commerce is no different from theirs.
Zhu Mingqing frowned: "After all this talk, this lady still feels that the position of vice president is a pitfall!"
Master Wan slowly raised his head, pursed his lips and said, "I've observed the Ming family. Madam has always been kind and generous. If we leverage the power of the Chamber of Commerce, Madam's reputation for charity will quickly spread throughout Nanxia!"
"Because the local chambers of commerce have government support, if Madam can manage this relationship well, the benefits will be self-evident."
The first thing that came to Zhu Mingqing’s mind was that the repair speed of the Immortal Palace could be accelerated.
Moreover, being able to connect with the government means that even if you can't, you can still get unexpected surprises.
Zhu Mingqing felt that the troubles brought about by these two benefits were nothing.
Isn’t it just the Su family that runs a small gang? We can do it too!
She just doesn't believe that there are people in this world who don't love money. If there are, it means she hasn't given enough!
The room fell silent for a moment. Mr. Wan remained silent, waiting for Mrs. Ming's reply.
Luo Tingshan knew that Mingqing was moved.
After all, these two, one can bring fame and the other can bring profit, are what they need at the moment.
"Master Wan, you have seen the attitudes of those bosses. Do you think they can agree with your ideas?" Zhu Mingqing went straight to the point.
Mr. Wan immediately showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Madam Ming, you're joking. This is a small matter that I can certainly handle, but..."
"I also hope that Madam Ming can come up with corresponding conditions, such as the sugar agency rights, so that we can quickly start exchanges with other regional chambers of commerce!"
"As long as the passage is opened, resources from all over the world will gather in Madam's hands, and the Ming family's influence will grow day by day!"
If others heard this, they would be overwhelmed with emotion and would want to agree immediately.
But Zhu Mingqing quickly calmly asked, "Master Wan has been the president for many years. Why didn't he recommend one of his own family members to join? Is he really willing to give up everything he has planned for so many years?"
Master Wan smiled and said, "Madam, you are indeed very clever. I have been able to build the Wan family from obscurity to its current state. Madam, do you know what I relied on?"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows: "You!"
Master Wan laughed heartily, "Thank you, Madam, for your esteem. What I trust most is my intuition!"
"My heart tells me that the Wan family will not suffer any loss if we do business with Madam Ming!" he said firmly.
The firmness of the voice made Zhu Mingqing stunned.
Believe in yourself so much?
Alexander.
"Then, this lady will wait for Mr. Wan's good news!"
After Master Wan hurriedly left, Zhu Mingqing still felt it was unreal: "Old Luo, do you think I can really be the vice president?"
Luo Tingshan turned his wheelchair forward and held her arm: "Believe in yourself!"
Zhu Mingqing suddenly frowned: "Of course I believe in myself, I'm just worried that those people can't bear it..."
Luo Tingshan: ...
That is indeed possible.
"No, since we've already fed them, how can we throw them away?" Zhu Mingqing clenched his right fist. "We're all talented people who make money. If anyone doesn't work hard, I'll make him feel sleepless."
Luo Tingshan prayed silently for those people in his heart.
The morning of the third day was also the last day of the Chamber of Commerce negotiations.
We argued yesterday but got no result. Today we must make a decision under the chairmanship of the president.
After the division was finally clear and everyone's satisfaction reached 70% or 80%, Mr. Wan took out a deed and everyone signed and put their fingerprints on it.
Youzhou’s five-year plan is now complete.
Of course, if Prince Huai summons us, that would be a different story.
"Everyone, this president has something else to say." Master Wan put away the deed, and his kindly smiling eyes swept over everyone one by one. He looked at his own people, and they nodded.
He then said, "Vice President Su was unwell a while ago. Considering our ages, I had the idea of filling the vice president position that has been vacant for many years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience immediately started to discuss in low voices.
Some people were excited, while others looked heavy-hearted.
Vice President Su's expression changed slightly: "President Wan, how come I don't know about this!"
Master Wan patted his arm and said to everyone, "Be patient!"
"Everyone knows that a vice president must have made significant contributions to the chamber of commerce, possess a strong background, and possess a high moral character in order to lead everyone further..."
Some people looked at Vice President Su with contempt.
Vice President Su took a deep breath and wanted to interrupt, but his arm was held tightly by the other party.
Master Wan pretended not to notice anything. "But if I had never joined the Chamber of Commerce, gaining recognition from the people of Youzhou would also be considered another significant contribution..."
At this point, someone's face turned cold.
Everyone knows that Mr. Wan is talking about Madam Ming, he just lacks to mention her name!
"Therefore, this president proposes that Madam Ming be appointed as the vice president of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dongfeng slammed the table and said, "I don't agree!"
"I don't agree either!"
Those who opposed it were all Mr. Su's subordinates.
Seeing this, Mr. Su smiled with satisfaction.
