Chapter 115 Chamber of Commerce Invitation
Chapter 115 Chamber of Commerce Invitation
After in-depth and detailed discussions and price comparisons, the two parties finally reached a preliminary cooperation intention based on a total price of 200 million yuan. Hou Jie promised that he would arrange for someone to bring 100 million yuan as a deposit to deliver the equipment tomorrow, and settle the remaining amount after the transaction is successful and the equipment is successfully installed and debugged.
Nowadays, Wu Laoqi has become Hou Jie's temporary assistant.
Two days ago, Hou Jie observed that he handled affairs meticulously and efficiently, and could not help but feel satisfied with his ability. In order to show his recognition and encouragement, he promoted him to his side and was responsible for handling some important affairs.
After the deal was settled, the letter of intent was handed over to Wu Laoqi, expressing trust in him and letting him be fully responsible for all subsequent matters.
I let go and no longer directly interfered with the specific operations, giving him full trust and space to display his talents.
After a detailed discussion, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. The inner troubles and doubts were like heavy rocks that took root on the ground, replaced by a sense of relief and tranquility. At this moment, he was like a leisurely market vagrant, quietly hiding in the bustling vegetable market courtyard, where he lived a seemingly casual but actually fulfilling life.
Not far outside the vegetable market, it is still bustling. In the early morning, the sun shines on the dazzling array of vegetable and fruit stalls, creating a colorful patch of light and shadow.
The sounds of hawking and bargaining rose and fell, interweaving into a morning symphony.
And he, like a leisurely old cat, spends his days lazing around in his own big yard, and no one can appreciate the fun in it.
"The greater your ability, the more work you have to do." This saying is somewhat inappropriate when applied to him because he is too lazy.
He would feel better if he hadn't been disturbed by Zhang Dalong and others.
Look, Zhang Dalong comes to see him again.
"Da Long! I get a headache just seeing you. What's going on?"
Zhang Dalong was speechless, and complained in his heart, "Boss! Please behave yourself! I'm almost too busy. Every time I see you, you're slacking off. I'm also very angry, okay!"
He said to Hou Jie with a serious expression, "Boss, today I received an invitation to join the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce. I hope you can join the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce."
Zhang Dalong is now quite influential in Sijiu City. Today he received an important message from the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce said that in view of his outstanding contributions to the business community and his profound influence on the industry, it plans to invite him to serve as a core member of the Chamber of Commerce, and he may even be promoted to vice president, and hopes that he can give an accurate response.
This news is undoubtedly a great honor for Zhang Dalong.
"I have done a pretty good job during this period! I didn't expect to catch their eye."
You know, the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce brings together many industry elites, and each member has a pivotal position in their respective fields. Being favored by the Chamber of Commerce and receiving such a high honor is enough to prove Zhang Dalong's status and influence in the business world.
However, facing this honor and responsibility, Zhang Dalong did not rush to make a decision. He knew his identity.
"I am just a small shopkeeper. No matter how glorious I am at home or outside, if there is anything, I still have to rely on the boss for approval."
Therefore, after receiving the invitation from the Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Dalong felt that the responsibility was heavy and did not dare to agree easily. He tiptoed to find the boss.
When Hou Jie heard this request, he couldn't help but nod slightly, and his face showed a calm expression, as if this was the most normal thing.
"I thought it was a big deal, but it's just this. Isn't it just a matter of time? Why are you making such a fuss?"
His attitude was relaxed and he did not take the matter seriously at all. It seemed that no matter what the outcome was, he could accept it calmly. This nonchalant attitude made people have deep respect and trust for him.
"Okay, but I won't get involved. You can enter the Chamber of Commerce on my behalf! It's really too much trouble."
Zhang Dalong felt mixed emotions at this moment, his heart was up and down like the tide of a river and sea.
"The boss is going to be lazy again. My life is so hard!"
This move was undoubtedly the boss's recognition of his trust and ability, which made him extremely helpless, but he was powerless to change the status quo.
"But, Boss, I'm afraid I don't have the ability. How about you reconsider it?"
Hou Jie raised his eyelids and gave him a little encouragement. "Dalong, don't underestimate yourself. You can do it. A man can't say no."
Zhang Dalong knew that the boss would not step forward, so he had to bite the bullet and take on this important task. He was still uneasy in his heart, not knowing whether he could bear this burden.
He had never dared to have such an idea, nor had he expected to be on such a pinnacle stage, but reality pushed him to this position, forcing him to face the pressure and expectations.
I still feel sad in my heart, "Boss! You don't know. That circle is full of elites, the competition is fierce and the rules are complicated. What if I mess up?"
Hou Jie's heart suddenly moved, and he keenly realized that this was a perfect opportunity.
"Oh! That's right. As the Nationalist government is about to collapse and evacuate Beijing, they will plunder the city like the Japanese invaders. At that time, those who are willing to submit to the powerful may be able to protect themselves and evacuate with them. And those who are unwilling to go with the flow may face a precarious fate, or even face the risk of life and death."
"In this turbulent world, once he is labeled as wealthy and vulnerable, he will become a prime target for those who are greedy."
"Since this opportunity is rare, he might as well take advantage of it and carefully create an illusion that he is at the end of his rope, penniless, and destitute. Let everyone mistakenly believe that he has no value to be exploited. In this way, those potential predators will lose interest in him, and he can avoid unnecessary troubles and disasters."
