Qian Zheng shifted his gaze from Jiang Dashan, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
“I have a vacant courtyard on Heping Road, ten times larger than this one, which I can offer free of charge as an office for the Chamber of Commerce.”
These words shocked everyone present.
Then, he changed the subject and tapped on the table.
"Secondly, since it is a chamber of commerce, there must be entry requirements, such as membership fees."
“This money can be used to establish an internal fund to help member companies in difficulty with their cash flow. Of course, this is not charity; interest will be charged.”
"Charge interest?" Jiang Dashan raised an eyebrow.
Qian Zheng smiled, a smile tinged with pity for the old way of thinking.
"Old Jiang, your vision hasn't been broadened yet."
He slowly and methodically explained, "Going to a bank for a loan is a purely lending relationship. The bank only recognizes your collateral and never cares about whether you live or die."
"But the Chamber of Commerce is different."
"The money was pooled together by all of us. So, when our brother company, which received the loan, is about to go bankrupt, would we just stand by and do nothing?"
"Definitely not!"
"We will not only give him money, but also use all our connections and resources to help him through this difficult time! Because his life is our money!"
These words made many of the business owners present light up.
Jiang Dashan also fell into deep thought; Qian Zheng's approach was indeed ingenious.
“Old Qian, I have no objection to you becoming the president,” Jiang Dashan said slowly. “However, this matter requires the consent of all members.”
"Hahaha, of course!" Qian Zheng laughed loudly, pulling out a Parker gold pen from his breast pocket. "We're all about democracy! Old Jiang, how about this, tonight at the Lanjiang Hotel, I'll treat you. You invite all the members over, and we'll have a meeting to talk face-to-face!"
"Okay!" Jiang Dashan nodded.
He knew he had no choice.
Qian Zheng is a top figure in Funing County, both in terms of his skills and his network of connections.
Jiang Dashan even felt that having him as the president might not be a bad thing for the chamber of commerce.
...
at the same time.
The entrance to Funing County Hospital.
Zhang Cheng was carried out on a stretcher by his four brothers, with a thick quilt covering his head, looking like someone preparing for a funeral.
That's so damn embarrassing.
He could clearly feel the curious, sympathetic, and gloating gazes coming from all directions.
Li Yuanyuan, standing on the street, wore an eye-catching bright red wool coat, paired with fashionable wavy hair and high heels, looking as beautiful as a burning flame.
Seeing the ostrich-like figure on the stretcher, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"What? Our great hero who stirred up trouble in Jiaxing knows how to be afraid of losing face?"
From under the covers came Zhang Cheng's muffled response.
"Get lost! I don't want to be made a fool of!"
Soon, the group met up with the porters carrying goods at the south gate.
Li Yuanyuan walked to the stretcher, looked at the man whose head was still covered, and a trace of reluctance and resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"You're going back to the village soon, don't you really have anything to say to me?"
"have."
"What?" Li Yuanyuan was overjoyed.
"Let Big Head Bro come back to work as soon as possible."
"..."
Li Yuanyuan stomped her foot in anger, the stiletto heel of her high heel making a crisp sound on the stone pavement, almost twisting her ankle.
Zhang Jianhao and his gang chuckled mischievously as they watched this scene.
Just then, Zhang Da Tou came running over, panting, carrying a large bag of changes of clothes.
"Ergouzi! Jianhao! Wait for me!"
As Li Yuanyuan watched the stretcher disappear into the distance amidst the cheers and laughter of her brothers, a sudden emptiness filled her heart.
But the next second, she took a deep breath, and her beautiful face regained its stunning radiance.
"Zhang Cheng, wait for me."
"When you come back, I will give you a huge surprise."
She silently recited the words to herself, turned around, flicked the hem of her coat, and resolutely headed towards the city center.
A clothing store could no longer contain her ambition.
Or rather, she couldn't bear the ambition that man had given her.
Twenty minutes later, Li Yuanyuan returned to the "Yangcheng" clothing store.
"Boss, someone just called and asked you to have dinner at Lanjiang Restaurant tonight." The waiter immediately came up to him.
"who?"
He said his name was Jiang Dashan.
Secretary Jiang?
Li Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow and a knowing smile curved her lips.
The Feast at Hongmen is here.
She instructed the shop assistant, "Go and call Feng Yingchun here."
...
5 PM, Lanjiang Hotel.
As soon as Li Yuanyuan entered the hall with her burly bodyguard Feng Yingchun, who had a ponytail, she was immediately surrounded by a group of bosses.
These people were all those who had been with her during her trip to Jiaxing and had the first taste of her soup.
"Mr. Li, you've finally arrived!"
"Mr. Li, thanks to you last time, I was able to clear out all my stockpiled goods!"
"I heard that Mr. Qian Zheng is treating us this time?"
"It's more than just a dinner party! I heard from Secretary Jiang that Qian Zheng wants to become the president of our chamber of commerce!"
"Well... with Mr. Qian's abilities, he is indeed deserving of the position of chairman," one of the business owners muttered under his breath.
Someone immediately retorted, "You can't say that! I think Boss Li is more suitable! The chairman should be someone who has the ability to lead everyone to make money, not someone whose factory is the biggest!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yuanyuan.
Li Yuanyuan smiled calmly, her voice clear and crisp.
"Mr. Gao, you flatter me. I know my own limitations. I wouldn't dare to even dream of the position of chairman."
