After so many years of development, the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce has already accumulated a lot of wealth, and this wealth does not just stay in one industry, so Mu Qingguang has already grown from a certain group of merchants to the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce that he saw in Jiuyou Tower. To a certain extent, they represent the merchant group of Zhuque City.
The news that Murong Xing would introduce the Banshan Gang to Suzaku City was made by Murong Xing himself to Mu Qing and the others. However, Mu Qing did not expect that Murong Xing's side would be so fast. Almost as soon as he agreed, The forces of the Banshan Gang appeared in the city openly.
But at least for now, this change is a good thing for Mu Qing and the new City Lord's Mansion he represents.
Probably because they really felt the threat from Murong Xing's connection with the Banshan Gang, the Pharmacy Dealers Association quickly made decisions on some matters that were still wavering at first, showing great sincerity to the main palace of Xinsheng City.
Mu Qing reciprocated this, showing rare tolerance for the huge industries involved in the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, and even took the lead in confirming the city government's support for the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce in some matters.
Although this kind of communication was full of official flavor, both the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce and Mu Qing were satisfied that things went so smoothly.
In the hall, after Mu Qing and other people from the Drug Dealers Association's discussion subsided, they talked about the most important thing, "The Qingyun Street side is the most severely damaged. I hope the Drug Dealers Association can take the lead in rebuilding that side."
President Huang agreed and looked at Mu Qing, who was still upright after sitting down, and said: "City Lord, please rest assured that since the Pharmacy Merchant Association has agreed to this matter, it will never make a mistake. We also hope that by doing this, we can get Your own kindness.”
Wang Yeqing glanced at President Huang. After being warned by her, President Huang stopped trying and completely changed his communication style. It was obvious that this guy was very good at conversation and was a very smart and slippery person.
For the City Lord Mansion or Mu Qing, dealing with such people will actually be very tiring, but the good thing is that as long as Mu Qing continues to be so strong, these people will try their best to proactively adapt and cooperate, and they will feel smooth and smooth when getting along with each other. a feeling of.
Mu Qing gave President Huang a shallow smile, "After communicating for so long, President Huang should gradually understand what kind of person I am. Instead of thinking about what I need, why don't you think about the homeless people?" What do the returnable people need most? I believe that the money you spend on them will definitely be less than what you prepare for me."
President Huang laughed at himself and said sincerely: "The city lord is indeed a hero who saved tens of thousands of people in the inner city alone. We guys who smell like copper have seen so many things that we have lost some perspective. Something that looks cheap but is actually extremely precious.”
"Whether we have lost or not is never a clearly visible standard to measure." Mu Qing automatically filtered out President Huang's flattering words and said seriously: "Mrs. Wang just said it very well, a gentleman can judge his deeds. Regardless of his heart, if one day President Huang takes the initiative to do something that benefits the people without being reminded by the City Lord’s Mansion, I think we can also become friends.”
Chairman Huang raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Qing with eyes. He was not stupid enough to ask Mu Qing how much of this was true and how false. In his opinion, at least this was what Mu Qing gave him and The drug dealer behind him would provide a clear way out.
Chairman Huang carefully recalled some of what Mu Qing said yesterday, and said sincerely: "We are actually ready to give up part of our industry today, but the city lord gave us the opportunity. But I have also thought carefully about the huge development department. The industrial chain seems to be more stable, but it has gradually lost its vitality. I wonder if the city lord is willing for the Pharmacy Association to be involved in the reconstruction of the inner city."
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't help but look at Wang Yeqing beside him, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Some big trends were obviously a noose, but even people like the president of the Pharmacy Dealers Association inevitably walked in in the end. .
Mu Qing was silent for a moment and said: "All the land in the inner city will be divided into different areas according to the urban construction plan. At that time, 60% of the land will be put out for bidding according to the demand in different areas. At that time, the highest bidder will naturally win. have to."
President Huang glanced at Wang Yeqing, who had been silent, and said, "There are already many people who want to find Mrs. Wang for detailed consultation on this matter."
Wang Yeqing replied: "The reconstruction of the inner city is a huge and time-consuming project. Even the early planning plan cannot be completed overnight."
"This is natural." President Huang nodded respectfully towards Wang Yeqing and said hesitantly: "What we want to know is actually not the specific planning area. Everyone believes in the vision of the City Lord's Mansion. We actually want to know the rest. Forty percent, I don’t think I’ll leave it alone as to how the city lord’s palace plans to deal with it.”
"Ha." A chuckle came out of Wang Yeqing's lips. She looked at President Huang meaningfully and asked, "President Huang has made up the mind for the remaining 40% so quickly?"
"No, no, Mrs. Wang wants the city master not to misunderstand." President Huang glanced at Mu Qing and said, "Everyone is actually guessing whether the 40% of the land will be better or worse."
Mu Qing said calmly: "This is not a secret. The remaining 40% of the land will be spread around the center of the inner city from the original location of the City Lord's Mansion. I just don't know that such a place is considered good in the eyes of President Huang Or bad?”
President Huang sat up slightly, but his upper body couldn't help but lean forward when he spoke, "Can the City Lord's Mansion really control the fire veins underground?"
Mu Qing glanced at President Huang, leaned back on the chair, and said with a relaxed posture: "Not only did we get the method to repair and control the Nether Flame Array, but we also have no problem building a few more array bases. The City Lord's Mansion also I know everyone will have concerns, so I will invite some people to participate when the time comes.”
Hearing the word "invitation", President Huang couldn't help but stand up. For the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, which had already felt a potential threat, being tied to a car with the City Lord's Mansion, although a large piece of it would have to be cut off. Meat is used to feed the new City Lord's Mansion, but in the long run, it is still a good deal.
After President Huang stood up, other people sitting in various positions in the hall also stood up. President Huang walked to Mu Qing, bent down slightly, and said with some excitement: "What the Pharmacy Association is doing now, for the time being, It’s not enough to gain the friendship of the Lord of the City, but the Pharmacy Association still hopes to have such an opportunity, so I don’t know if you can invite us, the Pharmacy Association, to participate in the reconstruction of the inner city.”
Mu Qing's eyes calmly glanced around the people who stood up. After a moment of silence, he said: "President Huang, you should know one thing. The reconstruction of the inner city cannot be completed in a day or a month. , for such a long-term matter, if your drug dealer association actively participates, it will be inferior to those who only want to make a fortune, because the date for you to generate profits will be extended a lot."
The people from the Drug Merchant Association could not help but start talking in low voices, but President Huang just turned around and glanced at these people, and the hall quickly became quiet.
"City Lord Mingjian, Zhuque City is currently in dire need of development, and although our Pharmacist Association seems to have become a towering tree with well-developed roots, only those who are truly at the helm will discover that this towering tree The tree is actually already sick."
These words of President Huang are probably the true words that he has been holding in his heart. When he spoke of these, his expression became much more solemn. He paused before continuing: "This world has always been in chaos. We ordinary people pursue There is no such thing as immortality. It has always been the most basic skill to lower your head and look at the road under your feet. However, what makes us most helpless and powerless is that even if we have confirmed the direction before, the road under our feet will still change. "
"As a businessman, there is nothing wrong with putting interests first." Chairman Huang glanced at Wang Yeqing. He remembered that Wang Yeqing said something similar, "But as a businessman who has accumulated a lot of wealth, a stable and long-term order, A path that can be continued is more important than anything else.”
President Huang looked at Mu Qing who was thoughtful, and said slowly and solemnly word by word: "Actually, if the city lord directly took over the Jiuyou Building where we are, then he would never hear these heartfelt words I am saying now. .”
"The emergence of the Banshan Gang is actually inevitable in my opinion. Maybe those guys who stay in the deep mountains and old forests all year round have taken advantage of the turmoil in Suzaku City to go north. This seems to me very serious. Normal things.”
"But... this is actually an extremely clear signal. It means that those guys who rely on the mountain and do not want to make progress have finally faced the dilemma they have always faced. This change may not be obvious at first, but it actually means that leading to tremendous changes in our industry.”
"If we are still timid and stand still at this time, we will only lose the already scarce opportunities."
…
President Huang said so much in one breath. In fact, the people who touched the most were not Mu Qing and Wang Yeqing, but the people behind President Huang. Some of their faces were still blank, but some of them had already understood President Huang. If so, every expression looks extremely heavy.
"Is President Huang too worried? The Pharmacy Merchant Association is still an indispensable and important part of Suzaku City."
Mu Qing did not intend to have an in-depth discussion with President Huang about whether the other party's worries were scaring him, but went straight to the core of the problem and said: "And even if there is a conflict between the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce and the Banshan Gang soon, the City Lord's Mansion will also He has already expressed his attitude, it seems that President Huang has no confidence in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Chairman Huang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I have such worries, but actually I also want to find another way for the Pharmacy Association. Even ordinary women know that it is easy to put all the eggs in one basket. Damn it, the Pharmacy Association is also planning to embark on a truly viable new path."
"I know that the city government does not want the economy of Zhuque City to become dominated by a few companies, so the drug dealers will voluntarily give up some market share, close some redundant drug stores, and only focus on the acquisition and resale of medicinal materials in the future."
Mu Qing put his hand on his forehead. He did not intend to interfere with the industrial structure of the Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce, because he knew that these things were not something that he, a layman who had only listened to Wang Yeqing's analysis for a few words, could really handle. Maybe some of them sounded different to him. It was the Drug Dealer's Association that suffered a big loss, but the Drug Dealer's Association doubled down in some places to make up for it. And when he found out, the other party might even point to the terms he had personally agreed to and claim that he had agreed to it himself.
"These things cannot be accomplished in one step. Since President Huang knows that the road must be taken step by step, he should understand that whether the road changes or not, your mentality of wanting to get there in one step is not wrong."
President Huang heard a trace of impatience in Mu Qing's voice, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm sorry, City Lord, I've been holding some thoughts in my heart for a long time and couldn't find a chance to say them out. That's why it's like this."
Mu Qing waited for President Huang's mood to stabilize a little, and then said: "You told me in front of me the difficulties that your Pharmacy Chamber will face, as if you are waiting for me to make demands on your behalf?"
President Huang opened his mouth, and after a while he sighed: "You are indeed very different."
Mu Qing shook his head, "In fact, we are all the same, we just have different pursuits. Since you hope to have a closer relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, I don't think there is any need for the City Lord's Mansion to remind you of some things."
President Huang smiled when he heard this: "The Pharmacy Chamber is the most profitable place in the entire Suzaku City, and if it's your turn to spend money, it will be no worse than others. If the city owner agrees, the Pharmacy Chamber can directly donate a sum of gold and silver."
Mu Qing frowned slightly: "Although the City Lord's Mansion needs money, it shouldn't come like this."
"City Lord, you may have misunderstood." President Huang smiled and said, "What I mean is that the drug dealer will donate a sum of gold and silver, and the City Lord's Palace will come forward to appease the people who have been affected by the disaster and whose lives are unsustainable."
The corner of Mu Qing's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he looked at Wang Yeqing expressionlessly.
Wang Yeqing was lowering his head and thinking about something. Sensing his gaze, he raised his head and said, "Just counting the homeless people affected by the inner city alone, there are nearly a hundred thousand people. And the people whose lives are unsustainable are at least 100,000. Twice this, it seems that the drug dealers are richer than we thought."
Chairman Huang sighed softly: "Hey, money is a good thing, but if we experience another disaster like the one in the inner city, one or two gold may not be able to exchange for a bag of food. When life is threatened, money becomes For real external things, whatever you can sign up for most is the most valuable.”
Mu Qing frowned and thought for a moment. Seeing that President Huang looked like he still had something to say, he asked, "Since President Huang mentioned these things in person, the Pharmacy Association must have been prepared?"
President Huang looked at the eyes and nodded: "Yes, to be honest, there is a secret passage under the Jiuyou Building that leads directly to the space under the square. Here, there are not only rare medicinal materials collected by the Pharmacy Association over the years, but also gold deposits. silver."
Mu Qing was a little curious: "Why don't you take it back to your home? I think the money from the Pharmacy Dealer Association actually belongs to you people here, right?"
President Huang forced a smile and replied: "That is indeed the case, but firstly, it is safer to put it in the Pharmacy Merchant Association, and secondly, because money can make money. City Lord, please rest assured, as for the gold and silver that are still on the Pharmacy Merchant Association's accounts, I will The president of the Chamber of Commerce has the right to dispose of it, and the vice presidents will not object."
Mu Qing glanced at the people around President Huang, shook his head and smiled, "You also know that sometimes gold is cheap and food is expensive. It is better to give them gold and silver than food."
Mu Qing pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "Let's do this. I'll ask General Xing to arrange an elite army as soon as possible to escort the members of your chamber of commerce northward."
President Huang's eyes shone brightly and he immediately said: "Don't worry, City Lord, the Pharmacist Guild will definitely bring back a large amount of food when they go north this time."
Mu Qing nodded: "Since you have this intention, then I don't care whether you spend your own money to buy it or exchange it with the medicinal materials you brought. If your drug dealer association can do this, then I can responsibly tell you You, even if the City Lord’s Mansion changes people in the future, your Pharmacy Merchant Guild will still be able to establish a foothold on this land for a long time.”
President Huang's heart moved, "City Lord, what you are saying is..."
Mu Qing stood up and glanced at him, "You have said so many sincere words, don't you want to master the method of controlling the Nether Flame Formation? Is this the path you want to pursue?"
Chairman Huang was pierced by Mu Qing and froze in place, his mouth opened. He wanted to veto it immediately, but he really couldn't hold back the expectations in his heart.
"It is impossible to give you the complete control of the Nether Flame Array, but we can allow you to participate in the construction of the 40% area centered on the City Lord's Mansion."
President Huang was extremely excited. Did Mu Qing give the Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce an opportunity to check and balance the City Lord's Palace? No, he suppressed his excitement and understood that this was impossible, but if the people from the Pharmacy Association could really participate in the construction of the central area of the City Lord's Mansion, they would eventually be able to accumulate enough significant chips.
This was indeed something that was close to his heart.
