Chapter 200 Merchant Donations
"Well, everyone has read the charter, and you must know it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Please agree on the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce here, and then elect the president, and then set the amount of money and materials to be donated, and report it to the county. Liu Zhixian saw that the fire was almost over, so he stopped entanglement, and directly stood up and left.
Master Qian gave the messenger a look and followed.
Ming Zhongxin understood that this was to let him be a pawn in the Chamber of Commerce, striving to raise the amount of donated money and materials.
Seeing that Liu Zhixian left, everyone talked about it, but there was no result.
Finally, under the joint initiative of the two heads of the Wang and Li families, the highly respected Huang Fu was selected to preside over the inaugural meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
Huang Fu had already thought about it for a long time, and he naturally knew it in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the old man has been selected to preside over the conference, then the old man will say a few words." He looked at everyone in the room and continued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is naturally beneficial, but there are no rules, we have to select the president first, and then the president will preside over it, and then formulate various articles of association."
Everyone responded in an uproar.
Huang frustrated the manuscript in his hand, "Everyone will vote on the president according to what has been said above." Everyone will first elect a few candidates, and then vote to decide the president by the number of votes. ā
"Whatever else you choose, just let the respected Huang Lao be the president." Wang and Li, the two heads of the family, recommended in unison.
Everyone applauded, none of the people present had the prestige of Huang Fu, and although Wang and Li were good friends, they involved interests, and who knew if they would become enemies, so they unanimously decided to nominate Huang Fu as the president.
Of course, these Huang Fu understood in his heart, but there was one of them who did not speak, and that was Ming Zhongxin, the acting head of the Ming family.
All because although Ming Zhongxin is young, he has been a figure in Ling County in recent times, not to mention that he is also the head of the county examination and the government examination, although he will not serve as the president as a person who wants to take the imperial examination, but who makes his current Mingxuan Pavilion and bookstore flourish and play a pivotal role in the business field of Ling County, and his opinion can not be ignored.
For a while, everyone's eyes were on Ming Zhongxin.
Including Ming Zhongyuan, he also looked at his brother.
"Let Elder Huang be the president? This is the best proposal, and I approve of it! Ming Zhongxin nodded slowly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I was afraid that Ming Zhongxin would be young and vigorous, and he would be a moth, but now that Ming Zhongxin agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he agreed, it was unanimously approved, and Huang Fu was appointed as the first president of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Since everyone elected Lao Yu as the president, at this critical juncture, Lao Yu should not give in, but after all, Lao Yu is old, and now Lao Yu proposes to elect four more vice presidents, two gentry and two big businessmen, to assist Lao Yu in handling daily affairs, otherwise Lao Yu will be powerless!" Huang Fu said with a smile.
"Huang Lao should be strong, how can he be so arrogant?" Everyone laughed.
Those who are scheming are already thinking about these four vice presidents, all because Huang Fu is indeed old, and the specific affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in the future will be specifically responsible for these four vice presidents.
Who should be in charge?
Ming Zhongxin was shocked in his heart, this Huang Fang is worthy of living for so many years, and he knows the truth of equal interests, two gentry, two big families, extremely balanced, and the final major decision has to be made by himself, high! The wisdom of these people should not be underestimated!
Originally, I didn't think so much, I just wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, and in the future, I could rely on the chamber of commerce to make the Ming family's business bigger and stronger, out of Lingxian, out of Jinan Province, and out of Shandong Province. I didn't expect this Huang Fu to be able to put forward such constructive suggestions immediately, and to achieve the sharing of rights and the sharing of interests.
"Let's nominate each other!" Huang Fu looked around.
In an instant, everyone present was divided into two groups of people, each of whom formed a circle to discuss.
"Master Ming, why don't you discuss it?" Huang Fu looked at Ming Zhongxin, who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, and was a little puzzled.
To say that according to Ming Zhongxin's shrewd mind, it is impossible not to think of the benefits brought by the rights of the Chamber of Commerce, but now he is just sitting aside, not saying a word, and not letting Ming Zhongyuan go, you know, Ming Zhongyuan is the actual manager of Mingxuan Pavilion and the bookstore, and if he doesn't go, he should let Ming Zhongyuan fight for this right, why didn't he move a little? This made him puzzled.
He didn't know that Ming Zhongxin had other plans, and the Ming family would not infiltrate the management of this chamber of commerce, but just let Ming Zhongyuan join the association on behalf of the Ming family, and then participate in various activities of the chamber of commerce and share all kinds of information.
After all, although he and Ming Zhongyuan have noble identities, they are rookies in the business field, and they don't want to fight for these rights, but they are set aside by these old foxes, which is contrary to his original intention of "making a fortune in silence".
"The kid is young, so he won't participate in the management, but only the seniors can look ahead!" Ming Zhongxin replied unhurriedly.
Huang Fu looked at Ming Zhongxin with deep meaning, according to Ming Zhongxin's temperament, he is not such a low-key person! Just looking at the turmoil he stirred up in Lingxian some time ago, it can be seen that this is not the kind of lord who is willing to be taken advantage of.
However, since Ming Zhongxin said so, he just listened to it like this.
So the two of them said no more, and sat back and watched the results of the election.
Suddenly, the results came out, as expected, among the gentry, the two heads of the family, Wang and Li, were promoted, and the big merchants were elected Zhu Yuanwai and Qin Yuanwai, who ran the inn.
The selection of the vice president is the next priority, which is to raise funds for the resettlement of the victims.
"Master Ming, I don't know how much you donated this food?" Huang Fu asked.
Everyone also pricked up their ears to listen, and they were also very curious about what kind of confidence this Ming Zhongxin had to take on the big problem of food.
"It's not much, only more than 400,000 catties." Ming Zhongxin is an understatement.
More than 400,000 catties? Huang Fu almost choked, staring at Ming Zhongxin with wide eyes and being so shocked that he didn't want to.
Everyone gasped, and there was only that? How much grain does this Ming family have? Do you have the confidence to donate such a huge amount of food?
I thought that Ming Zhongxin had hoarded some food in advance, and there would not be much, at most it would be about twice as much as theirs, but I didn't expect it to be so much! It simply doesn't let them live.
It can't be bragging, right? Everyone was puzzled, but after thinking about it, no, all the gentry in Lingxian County are here today, how could he say big things to make himself a laughing stock, and this is something that Liu Zhixian has personally confirmed, and it is definitely not a lie.
Everyone looked at each other, if this matter is true, then what should they and others do?
People Ming Zhongxin is equivalent to donating more than 40,000 catties of food, what about himself and others? How much is appropriate?
Even if the Ming family is bigger than himself and others, it is also food bought with real money! It's not easy to donate so easily! (To be continued.) )
