#156 - Chapter 156 The Celebration Begins
Niu Xingwang contacted Dongfang Chen through the digital eye to ask if the plan needed to be adjusted. Dongfang Chen was also hesitant about this matter.
He made such a big show, inviting the heads of various settlements to attend the founding celebration of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild headquarters, for two purposes:
First: To further consolidate and enhance the popularity and influence of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild;
Second: By visiting the base model rooms, everyone can intuitively feel the strength of the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild, as well as the advantages of the underground base. This prepares for the subsequent undertaking of underground base construction projects for various settlements.
In essence, this is also a real estate business, which is Niu Xingwang's forte.
However, uninvited guests may complicate this issue.
The technical strength exceeding the current human technological level exposed in the base may arouse the covetousness of those in power. If the authorities propose compulsory requisition of these technologies, Dongfang Chen will definitely not agree. In this way, it may cause conflict between the Chamber of Commerce and the authorities, which is very detrimental to future development.
"Try to divert the personnel as much as possible. The celebration will be held as usual. Representatives from various settlements will be arranged to visit the underground base after the celebration, as originally planned. As for the council representatives, the Mercenary Guild will take over after the celebration and take them to visit the Mercenary Guild. That place should also be quite attractive to them. I will inform Zhang Ge about that," Dongfang Chen said after thinking.
"Okay," Niu Xingwang replied.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Chen contacted Zhang Yuankui and explained the situation.
Now that the guests have arrived, there is no time to make extra arrangements, so this is the only way.
10:00 AM, the celebration officially began.
"Distinguished guests, good morning! Thank you all for taking the time during this special period to attend the founding celebration of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild..." The host took the stage after everyone was seated.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Niu Xingwang, the president of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, to the stage to give a thank you speech."
Clap clap clap~, sparse applause.
"Sorry, I'm a little nervous. This is my first time experiencing such a big scene, I'm making a fool of myself!" Niu Xingwang said a little tremblingly, and bowed first.
Clap clap clap~, the applause was a little warmer, and everyone applauded to show encouragement.
"After several months of preparation, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce has finally entered a formal development track. Being able to get to today is inseparable from the strong support of Mayor Gong Kaiming of Binzhou City. Here, I represent the Huatong Chamber of Commerce to express my gratitude to you." Niu Xingwang said here, and bowed again.
Mayor Gong also stood up at this time, turned around and bowed slightly to everyone to show his respect.
Clap clap clap~, the applause was a little warmer again.
"With the full support of Mayor Gong, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce has successfully taken root in Meilin. But the Chamber of Commerce's ability to enter a period of rapid development also benefits from the strong support of the council. Here, I represent the Huatong Chamber of Commerce to express my sincerest gratitude to the Speaker and all the councilors!" Niu Xingwang bowed again.
Clap clap clap~, the applause was much warmer.
"Perhaps most of the settlement leaders present have not had contact with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and do not understand the situation very well. Next, I will first briefly introduce the main businesses of our Chamber of Commerce."
"As an effective supplement to the functions of the settlements, our Huatong Chamber of Commerce has currently launched the following major business sectors:"
"The first business: Material transportation and allocation. We plan to invest 1,200 large-scale unmanned transport aircraft within one year to form an air transport network that can cover all settlements with a population of over 100,000. This will achieve rapid material transfer within 6 hours between any settlement in the country. At the same time, with the construction of the transportation network, we will set up a branch in each settlement."
With the presentation of the PPT, Niu Xingwang introduced the first business in detail. A group of settlement members gasped when they heard this.
What a grand plan! What a strong strength!
1,200 large-scale unmanned transport aircraft, is this the strength of a non-governmental organization?
Even the council probably wouldn't dare to boast like this, right?
Those who originally held a perfunctory attitude, those who thought that the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was only using the council to get to the top, became serious and faced it squarely.
This Huatong Chamber of Commerce is definitely not simple.
"Next, let's talk about the second business: Crystal nucleus recycling. This will be a long-term business, with no limit on the number of recyclables and no limit on the recycling period. Anyone, regardless of the number of crystal nuclei they possess, can exchange them at any branch of the Chamber of Commerce. The crystal nucleus exchange price list is open and transparent, with fair prices for all. In order to facilitate everyone's flexible purchase of the Chamber of Commerce's goods, we will uniformly convert the crystal nuclei into electronic points. This will be the third business I want to clarify."
"The third business: Membership points card. Organizations and individuals who need to trade in the Chamber of Commerce must first apply for a membership points card. With the points card, subsequent other transactions can be realized. At the same time, the points obtained from exchanging crystal nuclei will also be directly transferred to the membership points card."
