The Soul Hunting Operation was arranged by Bibi Dong. If he rashly went to command it, others would think that Bibi Dong was incompetent.
According to Hu Liena's report, since they had already decided to retreat three hundred miles, there was no need for Han Yu to stay in the Xingdou Great Forest any longer. He rushed towards Soto City.
In Soto City, in preparation for this dividend distribution meeting.
Flanders, Zhao Wuji and others temporarily moved into the Canaan Chamber of Commerce in the city to work; and he had already paid to book the Soto Hotel as the residence for the many presidents who came to attend the conference.
In the office, Flanders said with emotion: "I didn't expect that this year's dividend distribution meeting would be held here. Lao Zhao, it seems that the president has seen our efforts."
They were only notified about the dividend distribution meeting two days ago.
The annual dividend distribution meeting is held at a roughly similar time. In order to arrive at Canaan City early, Flanders had already set out for half a day. However, he did not expect to receive the latest notice halfway. He and Zhao Wuji directly abandoned the carriage, used their martial spirits to travel, and soon returned to Soto City.
The reason why the notice was given so late was that at the beginning, Qian Duoduo didn't know whether Han Yu would agree, and it would not be a good idea to notify him in advance. After Han Yu agreed, he still needed to determine the share of dividends for the many branch presidents, as well as some trivial matters to deal with.
This time the notification was rather hasty. Qian Duoduo was worried that people who lived far away would not be able to make it in time, so he postponed the date of the dividend distribution meeting for a few days.
Qian Duoduo was indeed a capable and strong general. He set out earlier than Han Yu and completed all the work in the carriage.
After Han Yu arrived in Soto City, he did not stay at the Soto Hotel, but instead found a random hotel to stay in.
He had no intention of going out before the dividend distribution meeting began. He had already absorbed most of Poseidon's divine consciousness, and only the final integration work was left.
Once the fusion is successful, his mental power will achieve a qualitative leap and break through the divine consciousness.
In the outside world, Soto City has gradually become lively in the past few days.
Previously, in order to resist the invasion of the Star Luo Empire, and Soto City was a city bordering the Barak Kingdom and the Star Luo Empire, many merchants and nobles had already moved away to avoid the war.
Upon learning about the dividend conference, Lord Soto planned to use the influence of the conference to attract some merchants to do business in the city. To this end, he specifically cancelled the curfew and reduced taxes on merchants of all sizes.
The entire Soto City market suddenly presented a thriving scene.
Flanders naturally would not miss this opportunity, and he expanded the scale of the Chamber of Commerce in the past few days.
Lord Long has always coveted his position as the division president. This time, he must seize the opportunity and completely leave Lord Long behind.
The half-buried Dragon Duke was naturally no match for Flanders and his men, who were in their prime. At least in terms of thought, they had left the Dragon Duke far behind.
…
A few days passed in a flash.
With the help of the Void Devouring Flame, Han Yu successfully merged with Poseidon's divine consciousness.
With a thought, Han Yu's spiritual power spread out in full force, silently covering the entire Soto City. Every blade of grass, every flower, and every scene in the city were all reflected in his mind.
Including the words and actions of everyone in the city, he can see and hear them at any time as long as he wants.
"It's such a wonderful feeling. I didn't expect that after several years, my strength has made another qualitative leap." Han Yu slowly withdrew his mental power and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Divine thoughts also have strengths and weaknesses. Han Yu has only reached the threshold of divine thoughts at present. If he wants to break through again, he must reach the divine level. In this situation, he is not in a hurry and just needs to proceed step by step.
"Looks like I have to show up."
From what he had just perceived, all the branch presidents of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce had already arrived in Soto City.
The dividend distribution meeting will be held this evening. He has already promised Qian Duoduo, so of course he has to attend.
In front of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce in Soto City, Flanders, as the host, stood at the door and welcomed the arrival of the branch presidents.
Lord Soto also wanted to attend the dividend meeting and take this opportunity to make more connections. But this was an internal meeting after all, so Flanders declined his request.
As branch presidents arrived one after another, Flanders quickly greeted them.
"President Polo, how are you?"
Polo is the regional president of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom. His status in the Canaan Chamber of Commerce is equal to that of Flanders, and the two also have a good personal relationship.
"Congratulations to President Flanders and President Zhao Wuji. Your performance this year has left us far behind." Polo congratulated with a smile.
"No, no, we are just lucky." Flanders and Zhao Wuji shook hands with him with a smile.
However, they were not so enthusiastic about the next dragon duke who arrived.
Due to their competitive relationship, the two sides only had a brief encounter.
As many branch presidents arrived, Qian Duoduo, the general president, appeared.
Qian Duoduo currently only has the strength of a Soul King. If he were in other places, he would not have the opportunity to be valued by this group of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos. However, as the general president of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce, he has excellent work ability and is highly valued by Han Yu. Therefore, when he appeared, these branch presidents greeted him politely.
Qian Duoduo agreed to all of them, and then said, "The president will be here later, let's go in first. The president doesn't like being watched by others."
The president he mentioned was naturally Han Yu. The Canaan Chamber of Commerce had a great influence in the Tiandou Empire. After hearing the news of the dividend meeting, reporters from Wuhun Daily and citizens of Soto City came to watch.
Qian Duoduo, who knew Han Yu's character well, naturally would not make things difficult for him.
The branch presidents present here are all smart people and understand the ways of the world.
"The president is right. Please come in quickly." As he said this, Flanders and Zhao Wuji made a gesture to invite them in.
At the same time, those with good hearing among the onlookers began to talk about it.
"Isn't Qian Duoduo the president? Who is the president he's talking about? Could it be that he doesn't plan to continue managing the Canaan Chamber of Commerce?"
Just like the Blue Star stock market, if a company’s leadership team changes, some investors will definitely lose confidence in it.
The Canaan Chamber of Commerce was established not long ago in the Tiandou Empire, but it has a great influence. Naturally, the outside world attributes the credit to Qian Duoduo. Now that the president is replaced, who knows whether the new president will be able to manage such a large share.
Of course, more people believe that Qian Duoduo's attacking faction is in a tense situation on the mainland now, and it would be easier to maintain the stability of the Canaan Chamber of Commerce if a conservative faction took over.
"Not necessarily. The Canaan Chamber of Commerce was founded by President Han. The only person who could make Qian Duoduo take it seriously is him." Wang Qi, editor-in-chief of Wuhun Daily, made an analysis.
"Editor-in-chief, are you telling the truth?"
"pretty close."
…
Qian Duoduo did not sit in the first seat, but stood next to the chair next to the main seat.
Until Han Yu arrived, they could only stand there.
Han Yu didn't keep them waiting for long and quickly walked into the meeting room.
With his strength, no one among the onlookers outside could notice his arrival.
"President." Everyone, including Qian Duoduo, bowed in unison.
"Haha, Qian Duoduo is the president. I am not directly involved in the management of the Chamber of Commerce. Please sit down." Han Yu said as he sat in the first seat.
Seeing this, the others sat down.
"This is also my first time attending a dividend distribution meeting. You have a lot of money, so please host it."
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "The dividend distribution meeting is also the annual performance appraisal meeting. Everyone talks about the work achievements of the year and what shortcomings still need to be improved."
How could Qian Duoduo not know the achievements of the branch presidents' work? He made this arrangement mainly for Han Yu to hear.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Including the regional president, there are more than 80 branch presidents. The branch presidents in wealthy cities naturally have brilliant work results and their reports take a long time.
Han Yu was not directly involved in the management of the Chamber of Commerce. He just listened to the reports from these people and did not take them to heart.
Qian Duoduo had already reported to Han Yu, so as the host, Flanders became the last person to report.
"The situation this year is special. President Flanders has done a good job in adding additional profits on top of the original share." Han Yu commented objectively.
Flanders was the only one who received the compliment. He was somewhat flattered and said, "Mr. President, you are overpraising me. This is what I should do."
Han Yu did not respond, but announced calmly: "Let's not waste time, President Qian Duoduo will announce the dividends. This year's situation is special, and those whose market share has not dropped will receive an extra reward."
With Qian Duoduo announcing the dividends received by each branch president, the dividend distribution meeting was nominally over.
However, everyone did not leave, as there was a dinner in half an hour, and this half hour was also a time for everyone to communicate with each other.
Many people wanted to find Flanders corner, but Han Yu called him away.
"President Flanders, I heard that you have a connection with the president. This time, the president will probably use you. Don't forget us old friends when the time comes."
When it comes to business, so-called friends are nothing more than friends based on interests.
Flanders felt a little nervous. He was not sure whether Han Yu knew about the news that Yu Xiaogang and others appeared in Soto City.
"Nothing, I'll go over first and find you later."
In Flanders' office, Han Yu sat in the seat that originally belonged to Flanders, while Flanders stood in front of the desk.
Han Yu slowly said: "Flender, I heard that you gave your disciple Ma Hongjun 500,000 gold soul coins."
Flanders was shocked and knew he could no longer hide it, so he simply said frankly: "Mr. President, this money is my personal money, not the Chamber of Commerce's money. And I took out this money because I hope my disciples will not be in danger of their lives."
"So, you have forgotten the bounty notice issued by the Chamber of Commerce earlier." Han Yu said in a flat tone.
He was the one who issued the notice, so how could he not know what Flanders was thinking?
Since Flanders gave Ma Hongjun money, this would be a good opportunity for them to separate as master and apprentice.
At present, it seems that Flanders has not done anything out of line, but who can guarantee that he will not be dragged down by Ma Hongjun in the future? Han Yu does not want Canaan Merchants to become a cash machine for Tang San and his group of guys.
Flanders lowered his head and said, "President, this matter is my fault. I am willing to resign from the position of district president and branch president."
Han Yu glanced at him.
Flanders himself was a miser, and he did a good job on the platform provided by the Canaan Chamber of Commerce. The only shortcoming was that he was cunning, but Han Yu would not give up such a strong general for no reason.
"You should cut ties with Ma Hongjun as soon as possible. I know he is your disciple, but from the latest information I have, he has mixed up with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang and others. They are not quiet people. You have achieved your current status because of yourself. If you want to work hard, the Chamber of Commerce will not treat you unfairly. With your status in the Chamber of Commerce, you and Zhao Wuji can get at least a 70% discount on the cultivation resources. These benefits will no longer exist if you leave the Chamber of Commerce."
"If you don't have confidence in your talent, just ignore what I said. Think carefully about what's more important and then make a decision."
After saying that, Han Yu walked out of his office.
Flanders doesn't pursue women and status much, the only things he pursues are money, family affection and career. Han Yu gave him a clear choice, he had to choose between money, status and family affection.
Choosing family affection means that he will not give up Ma Hongjun, but give up everything he has.
He didn't think that if he was being cunning, Han Yu wouldn't know.
However, family affection also includes brotherly affection. If he leaves his current position, will Zhao Wuji and his team be able to gain a foothold in the Canaan Chamber of Commerce? Even if Zhao Wuji takes his place, based on Zhao Wuji's ability, the position of the regional president will sooner or later belong to Long Gong. Even the income of the Soto City regional division may decline, and Zhao Wuji and his team will be driven away sooner or later.
These guys have worked hard with me for most of their lives, how can I let them end up like this?
After considering for a long time in the office, Flanders finally made a decision.
Han Yu's request was based on the premise that Ma Hongjun was in cahoots with Yu Xiaogang and the others. If he could convince Ma Hongjun, perhaps Han Yu could turn a blind eye.
"Hey~ Hongjun, I hope you can see the true faces of Yu Xiaogang and the others." With a sigh, Flanders walked out of the office.
He did not go to find Han Yu, and the answer Han Yu wanted required him to prove it with actions.
Han Yu did not plan to attend the following dinner.
In fact, he had already planned to leave after leaving Flanders' office.
Coincidentally, after Bibi Dong learned the news about Hu Liena, she used the communication soul guide to express her gratitude to Han Yu.
Afterwards, she expressed her thoughts about the re-election meeting of the seven major sects.
Han Yu did not object nor did he make any comments.
But this time is different from the original time and space. The Haotian Sect has come into being ahead of time, and they are very likely to take this opportunity to regain influence.
As for the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, their remaining people were not even considered a sect. The remaining six sects were most likely similar to the original time and space.
