Chapter 714: Hubei Northern Chamber of Commerce
Shen Qingqian was probably the only person at the scene who noticed what had just happened. She was shocked at first, but then she tried to hold back her laughter when she saw Shen Shan and Zheng Ruoxi's reactions.
Hearing Shen Shan's words, Shen Qingqian nodded nonchalantly, "Well, then we'll go first."
My third brother seems to be very good at dealing with people, but he would feel uncomfortable when encountering such things. This is a great discovery.
And Zheng Ruoxi, after she came to her senses just now, she has been very open and as if nothing happened. But as a woman, how could Shen Qingqian not see that she is actually shy?
Well, these two seem to be quite a good match.
Forget it, let them let things develop naturally.
Shen Chen drove the carriage to take Shen Qingqian to Jingrentang. When Manager Yu saw her coming, he quickly finalized the previously agreed matters with her. After that, he asked, "Sixth Miss, do you know about the Hubei Northern Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yeah," Shen Qingqian nodded, "I heard about it when we were forming the merchant caravan outside the Great Wall."
At that time, she didn't know the situation in northern Hubei, and it was Shengze who provided her with relevant information, which mentioned the Northern Hubei Chamber of Commerce.
However, the situation of this chamber of commerce is difficult to describe.
Although they are called the Hubei North Chamber of Commerce, they actually manage all the merchants in Ezhou and are the largest private business organization in Ezhou.
Originally, such resources should have been very valuable, but after the president of the chamber of commerce was changed three years ago, the Hubei North Chamber of Commerce no longer took any action on the commercial development of Ezhou. It neither led merchants to expand their business scale nor thought about letting everyone exchange resources.
Some merchants were dissatisfied and wanted to replace the president, but the person sitting in the president's position now is Zhong Yong, the head of the Zhong family, an old and established family in northern Hubei. The Zhong family may not have much else, but they have so many shops and money that most people can't even dream of it.
Of course, this is only within the scope of Ezhou. The Zhong family is still far behind the Li family, which is known as the richest family in Dajin.
Since the Zhong family did nothing in the Chamber of Commerce, naturally some people wanted to bring him down, but those people were all coerced and bribed by the Zhong family, and finally swallowed their anger and placed their hopes on the re-election every three years.
When Shen Qingqian saw these materials, she was still thinking that Sheng Ze must not have read them carefully, otherwise the president of the Hubei Northern Chamber of Commerce would have been replaced long ago.
She had too many things on her hands at the time and wanted to remind Sheng Ze, but she forgot.
Now that Shopkeeper Yu mentioned it, Shen Qingqian couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Well, it seems you still don't know that the president of the Hubei Northern Chamber of Commerce is re-elected every three years, and the re-election day is in five days. I want to ask you if you want to go and take a look." Shopkeeper Yu said this with a complicated expression.
He said that, and of course he sincerely hoped that Shen Qingqian could go and see it, but he was also afraid that the Zhong family would be elected again this year. He was anxious when he thought about their inaction for several years.
Shen Qingqian raised her eyebrows. She was worried that she couldn't find a chance to learn more about this Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy?
"Okay, I'll come to see you in five days. Please take me to see it." Shen Qingqian said with a smile.
It seems like there's one more thing I need to tell Sheng Ze when I get home tonight.
When forming the caravan to go outside the Great Wall a few months ago, time was tight and the Hubei Northern Army was in the lead. After comprehensive consideration, Shen Qingqian chose Li Hezhou, who knew her well, to cooperate with. However, she knew in her heart that if she wanted to truly control the entire Hubei Northern Business, she must start with the Chamber of Commerce.
Previously, due to her status, she did not dare to show up casually. Now, if there is any trouble, she should just look for Xiaoze from the Sheng family.
