Chapter 356 Establishment of Haicheng Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 356 Establishment of Haicheng Chamber of Commerce
However, although the meeting was over, many people did not leave.
Because, before the conference was held, Tang Zhongying and Tang Song jointly sent out invitations in advance to some big merchants in Haicheng for a large-scale gathering.
This party was invited before the conference and everyone agreed.
If you don't want to attend a party now, you have to find some plausible reasons to refuse.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning was also invited to this party, and everyone wanted to make friends with this upstart, so most of the merchants who originally attended the party did not find excuses to leave.
Although Tang Zhongying was the initiator of this gathering, in fact, it was Tang Song who pushed it behind the scenes.
The loss of Jiang Nanchun caused Tang Song to gradually lose its prestige in Nancheng District and even Haicheng.
He wanted to gather everyone together, re-establish his prestige, and suppress Jiang Ning.
Especially since the new mayor had just proposed a dock construction project at the conference, Tang Song could not afford to lose his prestige in Haicheng.
Therefore, this gathering is very important to Tang Song.
Of course, the party is just a formality, and they want to use their "trump card" at the party!
6pm, Victoria Hotel.
Although the guests at this banquet were of high status, it was not luxurious but very low-key.
The organizer was Tang Zhongying. There were about thirty people from all walks of life attending the party, sitting at two huge round tables.
Almost more than half of these merchants are located in the southern part of the city.
Jiang Ning was also invited, and sat at the same table with Tang Zhongying and Tang Song.
During the dinner, everyone was toasting and chatting happily.
There was no hatred shown between Tang Song and Jiang Ning.
After three rounds of drinking, Tang Zhongying stood up and said, "Excuse me for taking up a few minutes of your time. I have something I want to discuss with you all!"
Everyone quieted down and looked at Tang Zhongying.
After all, the banquet is hosted by someone else, so we have to give them face.
Tang Zhongying said: "Through this meeting today, we can also see that the future of Haicheng will undergo earth-shaking changes!
Change means opportunity!
As the pride of Haicheng’s business, these opportunities are undoubtedly a gift from God and the nurturing of Mother Haicheng...”
Tang Zhongying spoke for a long time, saying some high-sounding words, but everyone was confused and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.
But soon, Tang Zhongying showed his intentions.
"Everyone, it is precisely because of the future of Haicheng that there will be many opportunities that it will also attract investors from other cities and even the whole country. The cake is only so big, and one more person will take away one more piece of the cake.
As local merchants in Haicheng, we must unite, we must keep our piece of the pie, and strive to ensure that every local merchant can benefit from the change.
So, I have a proposal that I would like to discuss with you all.
I propose that we establish a chamber of commerce alliance in Haicheng, and all of us here will be members of the chamber of commerce alliance.
In this way, with our combined strength, we will no longer be afraid of any external forces. In the future, whenever there is a big project in Haicheng, our Chamber of Commerce can basically take it over, and then discuss internally and divide it among everyone.
Establishing the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce and uniting together will prevent us from being invaded by foreign enemies. What do you think of my proposal? "
After Tang Zhongying finished speaking, he looked around and waited for everyone's feedback.
However, all those present were veterans and no one was willing to be the first to speak out.
The scene was very quiet for a while.
This made Tang Zhongying very embarrassed.
If it were in the past, with his status as the richest man, if he had made such a proposal, there would have been countless people who would have stood up to flatter him and fully supported him.
What's more, he has the support of Tang and Song behind him, so everyone should support him even more.
But right now, the scene is very bleak.
In fact, no one stood up to cooperate with him.
Tang Zhongying stood there, as awkward as a sculpture.
Tang Song's expression was also extremely ugly.
"I agree with Mr. Tang's suggestion!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked over and found that it was Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said: “We should have established a chamber of commerce in Haicheng long ago, so that we will not be bullied by external forces such as the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, in the future, we, the people of Haicheng, will also go beyond Haicheng, beyond Jiangnan Province, and toward the whole country and even the world.
Haicheng Chamber of Commerce will be our bond, allowing us to fight side by side and create a common future even if we are in different places.
Therefore, I think it is necessary to establish the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce!"
Jiang Ning's words were powerful and full of passion.
However, no one expected that the first person to stand up and support this proposal was Jiang Ning, the mortal enemy of Tang Zhongying and Tang Song.
Just when everyone was surprised, a voice rang out: "Mr. Jiang is right. As Haicheng people, if we want to keep our local cake and go to the whole country, we must have our own chamber of commerce. This is our foundation and our reliance!"
The person who spoke was Li Yunfeng.
The last time Jiang Ning helped Li Yunfeng quit gambling, he also returned all the money he lost in Jiang Nanchun gambling. He was very grateful to Jiang Ning.
So, he was the first to stand up and support Jiang Ning.
Li Yunfeng was like a fuse, and people responded one after another.
"Mr. Jiang is right!"
"Support the establishment of the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce!"
"I approve with both hands!"
......
This scene made Tang Zhongying very embarrassed.
When he made the proposal just now, these people didn't even say a word.
As a result, Jiang Ning's words attracted hundreds of responses.
Tang Zhongying gritted his teeth, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Hahaha, it seems that everyone is in high spirits. Since everyone agrees to establish the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce, this resolution is passed!"
As he spoke, Tang Zhongying raised his glass and looked around, "Thank you all for your support of the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce. I toast to you all."
He did this simply to take the responsibility for the incident and prevent Jiang Ning from stealing the limelight.
After finishing a cup, Tang Zhongying said, "Since everyone agrees to establish the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce, then, since everyone is here today, let's further specify the Chamber of Commerce's affairs!"
"The embryonic form of a chamber of commerce needs to have a leadership team, which means we need to choose a president."
"In the future, the Chamber of Commerce will have a series of positions such as vice president and director for everyone to choose from. However, there is no rush to decide on these positions later. The reason why we are in a hurry to decide on a president today is because the establishment of a Chamber of Commerce is by no means an easy task. It requires someone to push it forward throughout the process."
"We have elected a president, and he will be the one to push this matter forward! Do you agree with me?"
"Agree!" everyone said.
It is necessary to elect a president to promote the establishment of the chamber of commerce. Otherwise, if there is only empty slogans and no one to push forward, the chamber of commerce cannot be established.
Tang Zhongying nodded in satisfaction and said, "I am not talented. Although I have some prestige in Haicheng, I still feel that it is not enough. The Chamber of Commerce is a big alliance, and it must have someone with enough prestige to serve as the president."
"So, I have a suggestion."
Tang Zhongying paused and looked at everyone.
The scene was silent and everyone was looking at him.
He smiled slightly: "I suggest that Mr. Tang Song, the head of the first financial group in Jiangnan Province, be appointed as the chairman!"
