"Mr. Du, you are indeed very discerning. Our Chamber of Commerce organization has indeed been affected a lot in the past period. With the current shortage of manpower, it is not suitable to make major changes. We can restore our business to its previous state. , which is already a very good result. People, it is better not to aim too high, otherwise you will be greedy and throw away what originally belongs to you." Elder Xing quickly followed up what Du Tinghan said and gave an enhanced explanation.
Two consecutive heavyweights have expressed their opposition to the re-division of power, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to those members who have high aspirations. For a moment, there was silence in the meeting place. Everyone was waiting for Elder Xing to give his final opinion and then announce the end of the meeting.
Suddenly, a voice appeared again in the quiet venue, and the speaker was the elder who first raised the question. This time, the elder did not hide it and directly stated the reason for his real concern. It turned out that the elder felt that since some places were now vacant, if we just left it alone, other forces would naturally occupy this market. Due to the particularity of the Chamber of Commerce organization, in order to maintain independence, autonomy, fairness and impartiality, the most powerful chambers of commerce directly affiliated to the super powerful forces on the Lingdu Continent have not joined it. The reason is naturally self-evident. After all, if these chambers of commerce join the chamber of commerce organization , it will definitely affect the operation of the chamber of commerce, and these super powerful forces have been fighting secretly. Once they join, they will inevitably bring the secret fight into the chamber of commerce. Therefore, if the chamber of commerce fails, the organization will be destroyed. It creates a chaotic atmosphere, thus affecting the normal operation of the chamber of commerce.
This elder's worry is indeed real. If the chamber of commerce does not redivide these places as soon as possible, people will naturally enter the vacated market. Once these super powerful forces directly affiliated with the chamber of commerce that are not restricted by them enter it, they will want to use it in the future. It would be too difficult to drive them away. The relationship between chambers of commerce and these directly-affiliated chambers of commerce has always been very delicate. On the one hand, these directly-affiliated chambers of commerce generally do not directly conduct business activities on the Lingdu continent. They will cooperate with chambers of commerce. In this way, the behavior of these chambers of commerce is to some extent can be restricted by the Chamber of Commerce organization. On the other hand, these directly affiliated chambers of commerce are not affiliated with the chamber of commerce. In other words, they can completely break away from cooperation and go it alone. This will disrupt the market. If the chamber of commerce wants to re-regulate the market, it will inevitably Constantly having to fight openly and covertly with these guys is also a particular headache for the Chamber of Commerce.
To put it simply, these directly affiliated chambers of commerce and chambers of commerce are not affiliated with each other. In normal business activities, there is both cooperation and competition. Fortunately, these directly affiliated chambers of commerce are not willing to break up with the chamber of commerce. Therefore, overall, cooperation is greater than competition. Competition is the basis for market stability. However, the unstable situation some time ago has greatly weakened the control of the market by chambers of commerce. In contrast, the directly affiliated chambers of commerce have not changed much. If these directly affiliated chambers of commerce have ambitions, This will inevitably further weaken the control of the chamber of commerce.
In fact, the elder's implication was not directly stated. The current situation is that the Wu family dominates. Since the Presbyterian Council and the inspection agency are controlled by the Wu family, the environment in which the chamber of commerce can exist is gone forever. If the chamber of commerce itself does not rise up, it will definitely be unable to withstand the offensive of these directly affiliated chambers of commerce.
Elder Xing naturally understands the elder's mood, but this is also an unsolvable situation. After all, now that the Wu family has occupied the highest stage, they can only survive in the cracks, and one more day is a day. Elder Xing feels that as long as the current market is stabilized, even if others want to compete with them, they will not be able to subvert them in a short period of time. As long as they can survive, they may see a turnaround.
After Du Tinghan listened to the elder's worries, he rolled his eyes and laughed. "I see, you are worried that these markets will be occupied by other forces. That makes sense. It is true that the current market should focus on stability, but disorderly competition cannot occur. I will definitely stand by you on this matter. One party." Du Tinghan said confidently.
The elder quickly asked Du Tinghan, "Can Mr. Du persuade these directly affiliated chambers of commerce not to occupy those vacated markets?"
Du Tinghan slowly shook his head and replied: "I just
I can make suggestions at the elders' meeting, but I have no control over whether they listen to them. At most, I can only prevent the Du family's chamber of commerce from participating in this competition. "
The elder sighed and said in a very depressed tone: "That's useless, your Du Family Chamber of Commerce is not that good to begin with."
Elder Xing frowned and scolded loudly: "You don't have a handle on your mouth. How can you speak dirty words in front of Mr. Du?"
Du Tinghan waved his hand to Elder Xing and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Elder Gao is also a kind-hearted person and understands. I also understand that my personal power is still too limited, but after all, everyone is just worried , these commercial activities directly under the Chamber of Commerce cannot be restricted by the Chamber of Commerce organization, but if they can be restricted, wouldn't the problem be solved?"
Elder Gao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there any way?"
Elder Xing secretly screamed in his heart, "Oh no!" Du Tinghan wouldn't have kept thinking about this. Unfortunately, at this time, even if Elder Xing wanted to stop it, it was already too late. Sure enough, he saw that Du Tinghan was calm, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "I just thought about it, if these directly affiliated chambers of commerce are allowed to join your chamber of commerce organization, won't their behavior be restricted by the chamber of commerce organization? Yet?"
Elder Xing quickly said: "Absolutely not, this is absolutely not feasible."
Du Tinghan smiled and said, "Why?"
Elder Xing quickly told the reasons for that year. These were things that everyone present knew. Therefore, for everyone, Elder Xing was equivalent to repeating the same old tune, and no one had any objection. However, when Elder Xing finished narrating, Du Tinghan laughed: "Haha, Elder Xing is right, but Elder Xing forgot one premise, that is, there are no longer seven families, and everyone is in the current situation. As you can see, the current inspection agencies, including the Presbyterian Council, are all closely surrounding themselves under the leadership of Chief Wu Xingwen, and are working hard to make the spiritual world a better place. Under this premise, the kind of people who used to have too many voices were There will inevitably be fewer and fewer internal fights, so what Elder Xing is worried about will no longer exist. In this case, why keep these chambers of commerce out? Let them join your organization, Isn’t it a better choice?”
Elder Xing was dumbfounded by Du Tinghan's words and was unable to refute at all. Indeed, now and then, the previous reasons become completely unreasonable now. Elder Xing was in a very confused mood. According to the current situation, if he accompanied Du Tinghan to visit Heqi Tower this time, he would simply be inviting a wolf into the house. Xiu Shuzhu
At this time, Du Tinghan saw that everyone was silent, so he continued: "I know that the sudden change in the situation last time has affected all members to a greater or lesser extent. However, as far as I know, those directly affiliated chambers of commerce seem to They are doing pretty well, and even chambers of commerce like the Medical Association have made a lot of money. So, if I can get them to join you, I can let them take out some of their original exclusive businesses and share them with you. I believe, This will definitely speed up your recovery.”
As soon as he said this, everyone's interest immediately rose. You must know that these directly affiliated chambers of commerce do have their own unique businesses, such as the elixir business of the Doctors Association, the spiritual weapon business of the Weapon Masters Association, and the Xifeng technology items business of the Secular Association. Even the Wu family has a monopoly through Linghai City. Most of the import and export business comes from overseas. Although chambers of commerce also get a share of these exclusive businesses through cooperation, most of the benefits go into the pockets of these directly affiliated chambers of commerce. The chamber of commerce has always been very coveted for these exclusive businesses. However, due to various problems, they can only watch and at best cooperate. In cooperation, they can only passively accept the unfair conditions of the other party. After all, they all control the core. in the opponent's hands.
If, as Du Tinghan said, these directly affiliated chambers of commerce give away profits from their own exclusive business, it will definitely be of great benefit to all members of the chamber of commerce. Especially in the current situation, when business activities have not yet fully recovered, if these exclusive businesses are shared with everyone, it is equivalent to subsidizing everyone. With the money, everyone's recovery speed will naturally be greatly accelerated.
Elder Gao finally lost his composure and hurriedly asked: "Can those directly affiliated chambers of commerce agree to do this?"
Du Tinghan laughed and said,
He replied: "It definitely wasn't possible before, but now what Chief Wu says, they will definitely implement it without hesitation."
"But what if Chief Wu changes his mind in the future?" Elder Gao also dared to ask anything.
"Don't worry, Chief Wu is not such a person. However, in order to put your mind at ease, Chief Wu or our Presbyterian Council will sign a letter of commitment for your chamber of commerce. Now you don't have to worry!" Du Tinghan said this. Afterwards, all the members present became excited.
Elder Xing knew that the situation was over now, and no matter how much he objected, it was useless. In fact, he has had many talks with these directly affiliated chambers of commerce over the years, hoping that these chambers of commerce can give up part of their profits, so that the chamber of commerce will spare no effort to help them expand the market, so that they can make more money. The profit will be more. Unfortunately, for these directly affiliated chambers of commerce, although the market is not big enough, the profits they earn are enough, so they don't care about this. Therefore, the members of the chamber of commerce can only show their talents and use their relationships to obtain the right to cooperate with these directly affiliated chambers of commerce, so as to get a share of the pie.
What Elder Xing did not expect was that things that were impossible before could now be easily solved with just one sentence from Wu Xingwen. Elder Xing was in a bad mood, but as the chief elder of the chamber of commerce, he still had to say some unpleasant things, so he expressed his opposition again. The reason he gave this time was that it did not comply with the rules of the chamber of commerce.
"Rules are also made by people. I think the people here are all high-level leaders of the chamber of commerce. Everyone can vote by a show of hands. If everyone agrees, this rule should be abolished." Du Tinghan was unhurried. , gave a suggestion.
"This..." Elder Xing hesitated. In fact, he didn't know how to refute.
"Elder Xing, are you unwilling to let everyone get rich together because of your own selfish interests?" Du Tinghan finally saw him.
In this way, after voting, everyone unanimously agreed to allow these directly affiliated chambers of commerce to join the chamber of commerce organization. Even Elder Xing raised his hand in agreement during the vote.
