"The two proprietors have misunderstood." Zhao Yutu said, "All proprietors who join the Chamber of Commerce must hand over the management rights of their iron yards to the Chamber of Commerce for unified management. The same is true for our iron yard in Hutou Village."
Hearing this, Li Lidong looked a little better.
Yang Yuqian turned to look at Fatty Xu and said, "Did you know this earlier?"
Fatty Xu nodded slightly and said: "The Chamber of Commerce established by Boss Liu is very good, and it is also good for my Xu Family Iron Works. I am naturally willing to join the Chamber of Commerce."
"That is the hard work of generations of your Xu family, and you are willing to give it up to others?" Yang Yuqian stared at Fatty Xu in disbelief.
Although he and Li Lidong are also the masters of Dongshan, they are far inferior to the Xu family in terms of connections and power in Lingqiu. For a long time, he and Li Lidong have been dominated by Fatty Xu in everything. Only then can they barely compete with the newly rising The Xu family contended.
Now that the Xu family is willing to hand over the management of the iron yard to the Chamber of Commerce, this makes him confused. For the sake of coke ironmaking technology, he can think of other ways and there is no need to build his own iron yard.
Fatty Xu smiled and said: "Our family opened the iron yard in Dongshan in the final analysis to make money. Now as long as you join Dongzhu Liu's chamber of commerce, you can renovate the iron furnace and make more money. Besides, the management rights of the iron yard are not handed over to someone." One person, but leave it to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will have the final say on matters in the iron yard from now on."
"The Chamber of Commerce is not a tiger yet...Liu Heng has the final say, just like the Dongshan Society. It is only the president Xu Youcai who makes the final decision." Yang Yuqian said.
Zhao Yutu, who was sitting aside, suddenly said: "Dr. Yang misunderstood. The Chamber of Commerce has the final say by all members of the Chamber of Commerce, not by any one person, including the president of the Chamber of Commerce."
"What do you mean?" Li Lidong asked from the side.
Zhao Yutu said: "All iron yards that join the Dongshan Chamber of Commerce will distribute dividends according to the number of iron furnaces in the iron yard. At the same time, a small number of iron yard owners will be elected as directors of the chamber of commerce, with one voting right. In the future, the iron yards under the jurisdiction of the chamber of commerce will be Management will be discussed and discussed by the Chamber of Commerce directors and the Chamber of Commerce President. All directors, including the Chamber of Commerce President, each have only one vote."
Li Lidong said: "So as long as I can become a director of the Chamber of Commerce, I am qualified to intervene in the management of all the iron yards in Dongshan."
"That's true. The president and directors jointly manage the iron yard." Zhao Yutu said, "Of course, this iron yard is not all the iron yards in Dongshan, but all the iron yards under the name of the Chamber of Commerce."
"So that's it." Li Lidong fell into deep thought.
Yang Yuqian beside him didn't speak either.
Both of them realized that there was a lot to be done here. On the surface, they lost their own iron yard, but once they became the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, it was equivalent to being able to intervene in all the iron yards of the Chamber of Commerce.
Not only that, in the future, all the iron yards of the members of the Chamber of Commerce will be transformed into iron furnaces for coke ironmaking. They will no longer have to watch an iron yard in Hutouzhai earn money every day, because the money earned by the iron yard in Hutouzhai will also be earned by them. One serving.
Seeing that the two of them were silent and deep in thought, Zhao Yutu did not continue to persuade, but picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip of tea.
Win-win cooperation, this is what Liu Heng told him. He believed that the two owners of Dongshan Iron Farm in front of him would not fail to see the benefits in this.
Fatty Xu held the heater in his arms, squinted his eyes, and leaned back on the chair.
He had already agreed to join the Chamber of Commerce and become a director of the Chamber of Commerce. Now it was up to Li Lidong and Yang Yuqian to choose.
After a long time, Li Lidong and Yang Yuqian looked at each other. Li Lidong said, "If we join the Chamber of Commerce, can we become the directors of the Chamber of Commerce?"
When he said this, he had already made up his mind. If he could not become a director of the Chamber of Commerce, he would never join the Dongshan Chamber of Commerce and hand over his own Iron Cheap Chamber of Commerce in vain.
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "As long as you two join the Chamber of Commerce, you and Boss Xu will be directors of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Okay, my Li Family Iron Factory agrees to join the Chamber of Commerce." Li Lidong said.
Yang Yuqian, who was standing next to him, also said, "My Yang family also agrees to join the Chamber of Commerce."
Obviously, joining the Chamber of Commerce has more benefits. You can also get coke ironmaking technology and earn more money.
Zhao Yutu smiled and said: "On behalf of our owner, I welcome the two owners to join us."
"Haha, is this right? From now on, everyone will make money together." Fatty Xu laughed.
Yang Yuqian looked at Zhao Yutu and said, "May I ask how many directors there are in Dongshan Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhao Yutu said: "We have initially decided on six directors, and we can add more if necessary in the future."
"Six is already a lot, and there are only about twenty owners of the entire Dongshan Iron Farm." Yang Yuqian said.
The more directors there are, the fewer the corresponding rights will be. Naturally, he does not want the Chamber of Commerce to continue to add new directors.
His little thoughts were obvious to everyone present. Even Li Lidong and Fatty Xu had the same idea as him.
Fatty Xu said: "Since there are six directors, apart from the three of us, who are the other three directors?"
"The Chamber of Commerce has just been established. Currently, there are only three directors and the other three directors are still vacant." Zhao Yutu said, "Our boss hopes that the three of them can recommend some suitable candidates to take over as directors of the Chamber of Commerce."
When they heard that the three remaining director positions could be recommended by three of them, their eyes lit up.
It is up to them to make the selections themselves, and naturally they have to recommend the owners of the steelyard who are close to them. If they win over one more director, their side will have one more vote.
Fatty Xu spoke up and asked, "What requirements does Mr. Liu have for the candidates for director?"
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "There are no big requirements for candidates. There is only one thing. If you want to be a director, the iron farm must have more iron furnaces than others. Otherwise, you will not be able to convince the public. Three proprietors, do you think you are right?"
As a result, Fatty Xu and the others had fewer choices in selecting candidates.
After all, some people have four iron furnaces in their iron works, but they let the owners of the iron works with only one iron furnace become directors. Naturally, the owners of the iron works with four iron furnaces will not take the position.
Zhao Yutu continued: "The three proprietors are all familiar with other proprietors of the Dongshan Iron Works. Our owner hopes that the three proprietors can attract more owners of the iron works to join the Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing this, Fatty Xu and the other three did not answer.
The number of directors of the Chamber of Commerce is limited, and it is impossible for all of them to become directors. However, to join the Chamber of Commerce, you must hand over the management of the steelyard to the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, except for the six directors of the Chamber of Commerce, the other owners of the steelyard become shareholders who only enjoy dividends and lose Management rights over their own iron yards.
After a long time, Fatty Xu frowned and said, "I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle!".
If it were him, he would never join the newly established Dongshan Chamber of Commerce if he could not sit on the director's seat of the Chamber of Commerce.
For those iron yard owners who cannot become directors of the Chamber of Commerce, joining the Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to giving up their iron yard to others, and no one can agree to this.
Zhao Yutu said with a smile: "Of course the Chamber of Commerce does not take away the iron yard directly, but converts the iron yard into shares of the Chamber of Commerce. You can receive dividends every quarter, and each iron yard will be assigned a steward. As long as the owner of the original iron yard If the Lord is willing, you can stay in your own iron yard and work as a steward, and you will receive an extra salary every month."
Fatty Xu looked thoughtful and said, "If this is the case, we can try to persuade some people to join the Chamber of Commerce."
"Then it will be a waste of time for the three directors." Zhao Yutu said with a cupped hand, "Our boss hopes that on the Lantern Festival, the three directors will bring other iron factory owners who are willing to join the Chamber of Commerce to come to Xujiazhuang. Our boss will host a banquet for all the directors and shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce in Xujiazhuang. .”
"Time is tight." Yang Yuqian said, "Where's Xu Youcai? I know he is at odds with your Hutou Village, but the largest iron yard in Dongshan is the Xujia Iron Yard."
"No need." Zhao Yutu said, "I believe that Boss Xu doesn't want Xu Youcai to join the Chamber of Commerce."
As he said that, he looked towards Fatty Xu.
Fatty Xu nodded and said, "This is best."
After taking care of the owners of these three largest iron yards in Dongshan, Zhao Yutu said goodbye and left the Xu family.
