Chapter 187 Business Federation in Name and Destiny
"President Xu, you... are really impulsive." President Lanke looked at Xu Yi and sighed softly.
After meeting with the new city owner, Earl Stark, Earl Stark made it clear that he did not need businessmen to accompany him, so the representatives of the business community of Bangta City who went to meet them dispersed on their own, but gathered at the private mansion of President Lanke. together.
At this temporary joint meeting of the Bangta City Business Federation, Xu Yi once again became the focus of attention.
Although many people have an implicit admiration for Xu Yi and feel that he dares to refute Count Stark in front of her because of his attitude towards the businessmen, but in the eyes of many people, Xu Yi is indeed too impulsive and too impulsive. Don't care about the consequences.
Earl Stark is the new city owner of Bangta City. Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are chambers of commerce within the jurisdiction of Bangta City, and they will naturally accept his jurisdiction in the future.
Now that Xu Yi is so blatantly ramming Earl Stark, it would be strange if Earl Stark didn't trouble him and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"Why are your expressions so heavy?" Unlike everyone else, Xu Yi had a relaxed expression on his face. "I am not you who refuted Earl Stark face to face. If Earl Stark wants to make trouble, he will definitely come to me, and he will definitely not go to you."
The others looked at each other and smiled wryly.
President Vincent sighed, shook his head and said, "President Xu, what everyone is worried about is not which person he will find trouble with, but the attitude of this new city lord."
"Yeah." President Cruise also sighed. "The new city master doesn't like our businessmen so much. I suspect that the business of Bangta City will be difficult to do in the future."
"This... shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Filson Motorsport is now a member of the Chamber of Commerce as it embraces the town's public transport system in Bangta City. This time, President Pomberg was also present at the meeting. Seeing the peers around are groaning and sighing. It was the first time I couldn't help expressing my opinion at a joint meeting.
"Now Bangta City is developing so fast, last year's tax revenue even reached nearly ten times that of the previous years. To put it bluntly, it is entirely the credit of us businessmen. We paid most of the tax revenue, I I think that even if Earl Stark looks down on our businessman, he should admit this fact and do nothing against us, right?"
"Hmph, what can't you do?" President Cruise groaned: "It's not like you didn't see what happened today. You want to talk about your contribution to the development of Bangta City. Who dares to say that you are doing better than you? Got the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and President Xu? But didn't you see what Earl Stark did? He clearly picked Xu Yi out today to get him into trouble! Of course, having said that, Xu Yi You are indeed too impulsive. Even if Earl Stark deliberately troubles you, you don't have to fight him like this, right?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Since I know that he is trying to trouble me on purpose, what's the point of me hiding? He is the new city lord of Bangta City, can I still hide if he wants to trouble me? open?"
"But you don't have to offend him completely, right?" President Cruise frowned.
"Don't you think... a big man like Count Stark will be offended just because of my few rebuttals? His attitude towards me has been decided long before he came, and it is impossible to change it."
President Cruise fell silent.
Because everyone knows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi obviously belong to the faction of Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny. The Stark family, however, clearly announced their support for His Royal Highness Prince Eric to become the next king.
Earl Stark wanted to trouble Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not because Xu Yi contradicted him with a few words. But it was decided the moment he became the lord of Bangta City.
The meeting room fell into a strange silence for a while. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but all of a sudden they knew what to say.
After a while, a lean-looking businessman with narrow eyes said softly: "Actually, I think... Earl Stark may just want to target President Xu, not necessarily all of our businessmen in Bangta City. So I think...I think...If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce withdraws from our business association, will it be better for everyone?"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the lean businessman, with surprise, doubt, confusion in their eyes, but also a little bit of excitement.
"President Lawrence! What do you mean?" Without waiting for Xu Yi to speak, President Cruise slapped the table with one hand, pointed the other hand at the lean businessman, and said furiously: "Here At the time of planting, you actually thought of letting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce withdraw from our Chamber of Commerce? Do you still have any conscience? Have you forgotten? Your Chamber of Commerce almost went bankrupt last time, or Xu Yi refused to accept the magic kettle technology I transferred a penny to you in advance, and also rented all kinds of magic machine tools to you for free. In addition, we sent skilled workers to guide you. Your chamber of commerce came back to life with this. You actually say such a thing now? You are ungrateful. !"
A blush of shame flashed across President Lawrence's face, he lowered his head, and retorted softly: "I...we gave no less than a copper coin later..."
President Cruise was even more furious, slapped the table heavily again, and scolded loudly: "Do you think that if you give money later, Xu Yi will not help you? If Xu Yi didn't help you at that time, it would be Well, you jumped into the Sandy River and committed suicide! What qualifications do you have to sit here now and say such things as shamelessly?"
President Lawrence was probably irritated by President Cruise's straightforward rebuke, he raised his head suddenly, blushed and said loudly: "That's right! President Xu helped us before. But I am standing now. We are thinking from the perspective of all the merchants in our entire Bangta City! We are just some weak merchants, how can we fight against Lord City Lord? Now that President Xu is being eyed by Lord City Lord, we can't put ourselves in it. ?"
"Shit! You are ungrateful, just say it directly, and you dare to pretend to be so righteous and awe-inspiring, it's disgusting!" President Cruise spat on the ground fiercely, and wanted to scold again. But Xu Yi reached out and stopped him.
"Okay. President Cruise. Stop scolding. Although President Lawrence made me very disappointed in him, his proposal was very good. I was already prepared to accept the wrath of Earl Stark, but But I can't let my colleagues in the city be implicated by me. So I decided to..." Xu Yi turned to President Lanke. "President Lanke, starting today, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce."
The conference room was silent for about a second, and then exploded in an instant.
"President Xu, are you kidding me?"
"You're actually quitting the Chamber of Commerce? Did you make a mistake?"
"Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now one of the largest chambers of commerce in our Bangta City. How can you just quit the Federation?"
"That's right. If even your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn, what is the need for this business association to exist?"
"Isn't it necessary to quit? I think President Lawrence is simply worrying."
"That's right, not at all..."
...
Everyone chatted and chatted, but Xu Yi just smiled and said nothing.
After a while, the crowd naturally stopped.
Looking at the expression on Xu Yi's face, everyone understood that Xu Yi had already made up his mind, and it should never be changed.
President Lanke shook his head with a wry smile: "President Xu, why do you always do things so intensely?"
Xu Yi smiled and replied, "Because time waits for no one, I don't have that much time to achieve my goals in a peaceful but slow way."
President Lanke sighed: "I can see it. The ideal in your heart is probably much bigger than the limit I imagined. Well, now that you have made a decision. I have nothing to say. As the president of the federation, I will approve your new flight chamber of commerce's application to withdraw from the commercial federation."
"Okay, thank you President Lanke for your understanding." Xu Yi nodded and turned to the others: "As the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I hereby promise everyone that although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn from the Chamber of Commerce, But the members of the federation are still the best partners of our new flight chamber of commerce. Exiting the federation does not affect our cooperative relationship. Of course, the premise is that you still have the courage to cooperate with our new flight chamber of commerce, haha..."
Xu Yi's joke was so cold that no one smiled.
Others stared at Xu Yi, some people wanted to say something, but found that nothing made any sense, so the meeting room fell silent again.
After a while, President Cruise suddenly slapped the table and said to President Lanke: "If that's the case, then well, our Amli Chamber of Commerce also applied to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce. President Lanke, please approve."
Everyone looked at President Cruise in amazement.
After all, Xu Yi is only a young man in his twenties, so it is understandable that he is young and energetic. You Cruise is a middle-aged man who is about to turn fifty, why is he so impulsive as Xu Yi?
However, everyone's astonishment has only just begun. Following President Cruise, more than ten presidents of various chambers of commerce also applied to President Lanke to withdraw from the federation.
Those who are eligible to participate in the joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce are, of course, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who have a certain status in Bangta City. Although the Chamber of Commerce with more than ten people is obviously not as good as President Cruise's Amli Chamber of Commerce, it can't be. It's a small business association.
Now they have also opted out of the business association, and more than half of the chambers of commerce that participated in this joint meeting have opted out.
President Lanke could only smile again, looking at Xu Yi and said: "President Xu, the Bangta City Business Federation has been established for almost a hundred years. I didn't expect it to exist in name only because of your withdrawal, I really don't know. Should I be angry with you or show admiration."
Xu Yi smiled, then sighed softly and said, "President Lanke, you should be clear that this is not what I meant, but everyone's own choice. I can only say about this... Now times have changed. already."
President Lanke's gaze swept across the faces of President Cruise who applied for withdrawal and the other dozen representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally fell on Xu Yi, slowly nodding: "Yeah, times have changed..." (Unfinished to be continued..)
