#363 - Chapter 363 A Gold Ingot Falls from the Sky

"Manager Cheng, let's get in the car." Hou Zhongxiang gestured for her to enter.

Cheng Jin and Mayor Hou sat in the back seat of a car, with a bodyguard sitting in the front as escort. The remaining three bodyguards got into another car.

In about ten minutes, the group arrived at the resettlement site headquarters.

Inside the mayor's office.

"Manager Cheng, what business does the chamber of commerce have in sending you here this time?" Hou Zhongxiang asked.

"It's like this. Our chamber of commerce plans to establish a branch in Longnan. I wonder if Mayor Hou agrees?" Cheng Jin said.

"Really?" Mayor Hou was overjoyed.

When he saw them outside the city, he wondered if the chamber of commerce was here to establish a branch.

But that thought was fleeting and he quickly dismissed it.

He had known about the chamber of commerce opening up the second batch of slots for a long time, but knowing it made no difference. Longnan City was far from being a third-tier city and didn't meet the requirements at all.

"Yes!" Cheng Jin smiled and nodded affirmatively.

"May I ask, why choose us?" Hou Zhongxiang still found it unbelievable.

"Because Longnan's geographical location is quite special, the chamber of commerce needs to establish a logistics transit base here, so I was sent here to discuss it," Cheng Jin explained.

"Oh, is that so! Is it just building a logistics base or..." Hou Zhongxiang asked tactfully.

"Of course not. We will build a fully functional chamber of commerce branch and a mercenary guild branch here," Cheng Jin explained.

"Good, good, good, I understand. This is a good thing, I have no problem with it," Hou Zhongxiang immediately stated after understanding.

A golden ingot had fallen from the sky, and he had to pick it up quickly.

"That's great, Mayor Hou. This is the contract, please take a look," Cheng Jin said, taking a contract from her bag and handing it over.

"Okay!" Hou Boxiang picked up the contract and looked at it.

Other resettlement sites had already set an example, so he didn't have many questions. After casually flipping through it, he took out a pen and signed his name, then took out the official seal and stamped it.

"Mayor Hou, don't you need to hold a meeting to discuss it?" Cheng Jin asked, seeing him sign it directly.

"Manager Cheng is joking. The people below have been looking forward to this day like crazy, only regretting that they didn't have the conditions to attract the golden phoenix. Now that the phoenix has come, how can we let it fly away? Don't you think so?" Hou Boxiang said, picking up the contract and blowing on it.

"Mayor Hou is really humorous," Cheng Jin said with a smile.

"This is true!" Hou Boxiang handed the contract back.

Cheng Jin took the contract.

"So what do we need to do next?" Hou Boxiang asked.

"After the contract is signed, the chamber of commerce will send someone over to inspect the site soon. You can plan in advance to see where it is suitable to build the chamber of commerce. Others will follow up on the later matters, so you don't need to worry," Cheng Jin said with a smile.

...

Without any surprises, the other four negotiation teams also signed the contracts smoothly without wasting any effort.

13:00 in the afternoon.

The headquarters of the Binjiang Huatong Chamber of Commerce was already overcrowded.

As for how the heads of these resettlement sites arrived here so quickly, it can only be said that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each displaying their own unique abilities.

The reception desk of the chamber of commerce had prepared registration forms early, and the people who came to register filled them out one after another.

The receptionist took the people to the rest area and reassured everyone to wait patiently.

At the same time, the staff began to sort out the information.

Logically speaking, with such harsh conditions, so many resettlement sites shouldn't have signed up. It was only from the sorted information that it could be seen that most cities had sent multiple resettlement sites at the same time, and a considerable number did not meet the conditions.

Many people were taking a try-and-see attitude, just in case they were selected?

The staff entered the customer data into the system, and a selection result was quickly generated, confirming the list of 25 resettlement sites.

So how were these 25 resettlement sites selected?

After the data was entered into the system, it was first screened according to the city. Resettlement sites in non-third-tier or higher cities would be directly excluded.

The second screening was still based on the city. If a city already had a cooperative resettlement site, then all other resettlement sites from that city would be excluded.

The third step was to exclude resettlement sites with a population of less than 500,000.

After the three-step screening, the remaining ones all met the conditions.

However, among these resettlement sites that met the conditions, there was still one situation. That is, each city had multiple resettlement sites signing up, so how should they choose?

The chamber of commerce's system was actually controlled behind the scenes by Xiaolin, so it certainly wouldn't be randomly selected.

In order to improve efficiency, the system first ranked the cities according to their distribution area and importance level, and selected the 25 cities with the highest comprehensive index. After the city was determined, priority was given to resettlement sites managed by the mayor. If there was no resettlement site managed by the mayor, then the selection was made according to the population.

In this way, in less than a minute, the 25 slots were determined.

Except for entering the data, no manual intervention was required throughout the process.
