#173 - Chapter 173 Chamber of Commerce Recruits New Members

"I would like to ask, after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce branch, will it build the kind of turrets we just saw in our resettlement area?" someone asked.

"According to the current plan, the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild will each build two turrets within the branch," Niu Xingwang replied.

"If we need it, will you undertake such construction projects?"

"We are currently unable to undertake them," Niu Xingwang replied.

Everyone was silent, expressing their understanding.

They believed that the Chamber of Commerce would not easily disclose this technology.

"It's not that the Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to disclose this technology. In fact, such turrets are not suitable for construction in resettlement areas because they consume a huge amount of energy. However, I can promise that if there is a zombie attack in the resettlement area, the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild will provide as much support as possible," Niu Xingwang said.

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

Niu Xingwang could not reveal the secrets of the ecological crisis, nor could he bluntly tell everyone that they would inevitably have to build underground bases in the future, so building so many turrets would not be of much use.

If they wanted each resettlement area to establish underground bases, they must first revitalize their economy. Only when the economy is revitalized can the resettlement areas gradually accumulate the funds to build underground bases. Dongfang Chen could not build bases for them for free, because it would be tiring for him, he couldn't afford it, and everyone would not appreciate his kindness.

In short, it was still Dongfang Chen's words, the only ones who could save them were themselves.

So, what is the purpose of setting up branches of the Chamber of Commerce and the Guild? It is to revitalize the economy.

The Guild manages people, and the Chamber of Commerce manages resources, a two-pronged approach.

This can form a virtuous circle. Dongfang Chen uses this method to extend his reach to the whole country, gathering resources from all of China, so that he can develop faster. And everyone also uses their own hands to fight for the opportunity to survive for their own tomorrow.

"Will the Chamber of Commerce interfere in the internal affairs of our resettlement area?"

"The Chamber of Commerce advocates solving problems through democratic consultation. We will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the resettlement area, especially matters unrelated to our own business. We will not directly or indirectly participate in the management of the resettlement area through violence, coercion, intimidation, or other means. We advocate peace and development and will not actively provoke internal conflicts in the resettlement area. These are all written in the cooperation agreement, and everyone will understand it after reading it," Niu Xingwang explained.

"Then, if, I mean if, we want to cancel the cooperation, what is the exit mechanism? Also, after exiting, can we apply for cooperation again?"

"In fact, these contents are all explained in the agreement. However, in order to save everyone's time, I will briefly explain it. If the Chamber of Commerce has not yet started investing in the resettlement area, the cooperation can be canceled at any time through friendly consultation between the two parties. But please note that because the Chamber of Commerce's initial investment is very huge, if it has already entered the investment stage, and the resettlement area wants to unilaterally terminate the cooperation, it must provide full compensation in the form of crystal cores. During the compensation period, the Chamber of Commerce will not withdraw from the resettlement area. If we unilaterally terminate the cooperation, then you will not have to bear the initial investment."

"We do not accept secondary cooperation, so each resettlement area only has one chance to cooperate."

Within two hours, everyone successively discussed issues such as land transfer fees, tax issues, and information security issues, and Niu Xingwang answered them one by one.

"Okay, if everyone is clear, then I will give everyone 10 minutes to consider. If anyone wants to withdraw from the cooperation, they can still withdraw now. After ten minutes, we will discuss some specific matters regarding the construction of the Chamber of Commerce branch."

After a brief mutual communication, no one ultimately chose to withdraw.

"Now that everyone has made a final decision, let's get down to business."

"The first thing is talent recruitment. We plan to recruit 1,200 people in the first batch as reserve cadres for the Chamber of Commerce. This matter requires everyone's cooperation. As the first batch of cooperative resettlement areas, this can be regarded as some special benefits for everyone. The 1,200 people will be divided equally among you, with an average of 60 recommendation places for each resettlement area. You must know that these people will basically become the backbone of the various Chamber of Commerce branches in the future, and I think this will be very beneficial to everyone," Niu Xingwang hinted.

Everyone immediately understood when they heard this. Of course, there are benefits, and the benefits are great.

If the people in their resettlement area can hold important positions in other resettlement areas, it will be extremely beneficial to their own development.

"We are currently short of manpower, so this matter must be handled on an ad hoc basis. I will only give everyone 3 days, and submit the list to me within 3 days."

"What are the requirements?"

"The requirements are relatively relaxed, a university degree or above, aged 30 to 45, and in good health. No restrictions on major or gender."

"After 3 days, I will arrange for a plane to go to each resettlement area to pick up the people and take them back to headquarters for training."

"At the same time, during these 3 days, we must also simultaneously carry out the second thing: the implementation of the construction land for the Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild. We will send people to each resettlement area to investigate one by one, and sign contracts on the spot if the conditions are met. Then we will arrange for equipment to arrive on site according to the order of signing, and carry out construction," Niu Xingwang said.
