Chen Yaojun and Ye Chen were old friends. Chen Yaojun believed that Ye Chen had the resources and ability to compete with those three people, and he also knew Ye Chen's character.
If Ye Chen were to become the president of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce one day, he would certainly not treat them unfairly and would definitely protect them.
So, after some persuasion from Chen Yaojun, the two of them came to visit Ye Chen.
At first, Old Luo had some doubts about Ye Chen, but after seeing Ye Chen's newly bought courtyard house and Ye Chen's outrageous behavior of casually using an artwork worth more than 70 million yuan as a clothes hanger, Old Luo no longer had any doubts.
"Mr. Ye, if you can become the new president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, it will be of great benefit to your future development in Beijing."
Chen Yaojun spoke the truth.
In the capital, the presidents of the six major chambers of commerce are on par with the heads of powerful and wealthy families, making them among the most influential figures in the city.
Moreover, Mr. Ye is so young. If he were to become the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce now, it wouldn't be impossible for him to lead the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce to the top position among the six major chambers of commerce.
Back then, even the heads of wealthy families had to treat Mr. Ye with utmost respect.
Upon hearing Chen Yaojun's words, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.
Although Chen Yaojun had his own selfish motives for doing this, what he said wasn't untrue.
If he could become the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, his connections and influence in the capital would increase dramatically. At that time, dealing with the Ye family and Ye Huaicang would be a sure thing.
"Mr. Ye, there's no rush. You can consider it for another two days..."
Chen Yaojun took the initiative to speak.
This is indeed a big deal, and now that they've suddenly told Ye Chen, they naturally need to give him time to consider it.
"Hmm, I'll think about it some more."
Ye Chen nodded.
After staying with Ye Chen for a while longer, Chen Yaojun and Elder Luo took their leave.
However, before leaving, Luo Laohai made a point of adding Ye Chen's contact information.
Immediately after the two left, the game sent a message.
【bite】
[Agreed to their request to visit and celebrate my housewarming; temporary challenge complete.]
Congratulations on acquiring a 1% stake in Tencent, becoming a shareholder of Tencent (the share purchase agreement has been placed in your study; please check it).
Congratulations on receiving 751 experience points!
Congratulations on receiving 413 Mall Points!
The temporary challenge was successfully completed, and Ye Chen successfully obtained the Penguin Group shares he had been looking forward to.
From this moment forward, Ye Chen is a shareholder of Tencent!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen checked his mall level.
【Shop Level: Seven Stars (8326/9000)】
I'm only 674 points away from upgrading to an eight-star shop!
Just two more challenges and you'll level up smoothly. Come and challenge yourself!
Ye Chen prayed silently.
【bite】
[Special Mid-Term Challenge Issued: Promise Chen Yaojun and Elder Luo that you will become the president of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce, in order to prepare for dealing with the Ye family in the capital and Ye Huaicang later.]
[Special Mid-Term Challenge Reward: 3% stake in Blackstone Group, becoming Blackstone Group's seventh-largest shareholder]
[Special Mid-Game Challenge Reward: 1311 Experience Points]
[Special Mid-Game Challenge Reward: 735 Shop Points]
"Um?!!"
Looking at the various rewards for this challenge, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but race.
I had worked hard to accumulate a 3% stake in Blackstone Group.
As a result, after leveling up to LV8, the game rewarded him with 3% of Blackstone Group's shares in one go!
Once Ye Chen completes this challenge and acquires the reward of 3% of Blackstone Group's shares, he will hold 6% of Blackstone Group's shares, becoming its seventh-largest shareholder and thus the seventh most important figure!
More importantly, this special mid-term challenge rewarded a whopping 1311 experience points and 735 mall points!
He doesn't need to wait for two challenges at all; he only needs to complete this one challenge for Ye Chen's mall to break through to eight stars!
Of course, with such generous rewards, the difficulty of this challenge is certainly not to be underestimated.
Ye Chen was aware of Chen Yaojun's abilities.
As a result, Chen Yaojun was not even qualified to compete with the three people from the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, according to Luo Lao.
This has indirectly proven that the capital and capabilities of those three individuals should not be underestimated.
Moreover, the fact that those three individuals have the potential to compete for the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce indicates that they hold relatively high positions within the chamber.
They may have lived in Beijing for many years, and may even be locals.
Having operated in Beijing for so many years, the other party naturally possesses a powerful network of connections and can be considered a local strongman.
In this respect, they have far more advantages than Ye Chen, who has only been in the capital for a few days.
Of course, Ye Chen's advantages are not to be underestimated either!
"I'm determined to become the president of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce!!!"
Ye Chen gazed into the distance and made up his mind.
After making his decision, Ye Chen sent messages to Elder Luo and Chen Yaojun, asking them to discuss the matter in detail when they had time.
As for Elder Luo and Chen Yaojun's purpose, Ye Chen understood it. They simply wanted him to be on their side, so that after he became the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, he could protect them and help them if they needed his help.
Ye Chen thought this was perfectly reasonable.
If they hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have known about it, let alone triggered this special mid-term challenge.
They helped me when I was competing for the presidency of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, and now that I've become the presidency, they're in trouble, so naturally I won't stand idly by.
Upon learning that Ye Chen had agreed, the two were very excited, so they hurriedly returned halfway and began to plan with Ye Chen.
The requirements for running for president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce are quite stringent.
What Chen Yaojun and Elder Luo need to do now is to help Ye Chen fulfill these requirements as quickly as possible.
To compete for the position of president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, one must first be a member of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
That's simple. Old Luo is still the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce and hasn't stepped down yet. Although many people have already gone to curry favor with those three competitors, Old Luo still has a lot of influence in the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
Old Luo first had Ye Chen print out an application to join the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, which he immediately approved, making Ye Chen a member of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
The next requirement is extremely stringent for competing for the position of president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce!
