Chapter 154 Yingtian Chamber of Commerce!

"It's all done according to Master Liu's request, but with some slight changes." Shen Dabao said with a smile.

Zhu Jun smiled, Shen Donger was really a sweetheart, and this recruitment forum seemed to have the flavor of his world.

"Let's go, don't keep those people waiting!" Zhu Jun came to the main hall of Jubao Building, where more than two hundred merchants were sitting. Most of them were merchants from eastern Zhejiang, and a small number were merchants from Yingtian and Huaixi.

It can be seen that merchants in eastern Zhejiang control the economic lifeline.

Zhu Jun wants to use these people to create blood for the Tianming Organization. Money is not everything, and nothing can be done without money!

However, these two hundred merchants are not many.

In his early years, the elder Zhu Jian moved to Yingtian, and more than 4,000 wealthy businessmen from Gusu, Hangzhou and other places moved to Yingtian.

These two hundred merchants are only part of them, or in other words, representatives.

Call everyone over, he doesn't have that much face.

"Everyone, His Highness King Wu is here!" Shen Dabao reminded quickly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone stood up and saluted Zhu Jun. These people did not kneel down, but held their hands in hand, as if they looked down on Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun glanced at them with a smile and didn't care. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long!"

Everyone looked at Zhu Jun, the crazy prince, with indifference and curiosity in their eyes, but most of them were joking.

Zhu Jun settled Li Yanxi and the two, walked up to the stage, and said: "Thank you for coming to this recruitment symposium. I believe Shen Dabao has told everyone the purpose of organizing the symposium.

I won’t go into details, I’ll just focus on the key points!

First, I would like to take this opportunity to establish the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, with the purpose of helping each other and sharing resources.

With Prince Wu's Mansion as the link, you can report any difficulties in doing business to Prince Wu's Mansion, and I will report it to the Prince or Your Majesty in the form of a memorial!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed and they immediately looked at each other in confusion.

Shen Dabao asked them to come over, but he didn't say anything. He just said to help the victims. King Wu asked for some official positions outside of the imperial court, so that everyone could share some of the pressure on the court.

Not only for the sake of the Shen family, but also for the sake of his official position.

"Everyone be quiet, I know you have a lot of questions, wait until I finish speaking!" Zhu Jun patted the document, could not help but increase his voice, and even changed his title, "Secondly, the purpose of establishing the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce is

Clean the labels on merchants.

This dynasty set a precedent by prohibiting merchants from taking imperial examinations, but the position of merchants was still embarrassing.

There is no treacherous businessman, and one who forgets his own righteousness when he sees profit, these are the labels of merchants.

Scholars, farmers, and merchants were at the bottom.

In my opinion, this is ridiculous.

There is no stability without agriculture, no strength without industry, and no wealth without business.

The three complement each other.

I hope that the world can recognize merchants again!"

These words directly spoke to the hearts of everyone present.

The world hates the rich, and officials regard wealthy businessmen as big fat sheep for exploitation, and put derogatory labels on them one after another.

Even if they didn't do anything bad, they are still 'profiteers' in the eyes of the world!

"Third, strengthen the country through business, follow the footsteps of the imperial court, and strive to be a philanthropic and good businessman in the eyes of the people. The Chamber of Commerce will evaluate the contributions of its members every month, and the top three will have the opportunity to meet the prince.

Fourth, the more people you hire, the lower the commercial tax will be. For details, applicable measures for commercial tax reduction and exemption will be issued at that time.

Fifth, support leading enterprises and provide financial and resource assistance..."

Sixth, merchants who have made outstanding contributions will be rewarded by the court..."

Zhu Jun and Lin Zongzong said more than ten things, and every one of them poked at the weaknesses of everyone present.

Meeting the prince, reducing taxes, getting help from capital and resource dealers, improving one's status, and getting business protection are all real benefits.

It is no exaggeration to say that once implemented, their business environment will be greatly improved.

Li Yanxi frowned, it was not a good thing to be too nice to these merchants.

Li Wanqiu also looked puzzled.

At this time, a bold businessman asked: "Do ordinary people dare to ask His Highness the King of Wu whether all these are true?"

"It's not true. Why did I come here with such a big fanfare?" Zhu Jun said: "To tell you the truth, you are all big businessmen with a fortune of tens of thousands. My original intention is to find those small businessmen and give them help.

But whether you are doing business or being an official, you need role models.

I want to lift you up and set an example for those small businessmen.

The last one is to support local small businessmen to start their own businesses. (In Hongwu, business is generally monopolized, and business taxes are not bad. After Wanli, business taxes are particularly heavy, and small and medium-sized businessmen are squeezed extremely miserably)."

Zhu Jun glanced at them and said, "This king has opened this stall for you. It depends on you whether you want to take it seriously and whether you want to rise to the top.

I will never force myself, but if I join the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, I will be subject to conditions.

Whenever you sign a recruitment contract, you must strictly abide by the contract.

You have all read the contract and know what the constraints are.

If you feel concerned now, you can leave at any time, the gate is right behind you.

I can guarantee that I will never pursue any further investigation!"

Everyone present was silent. Originally, they all came with an indifferent attitude.

But now, Zhu Jun has spread the stall so big, and behind him, he looks like the prince.

This forces them to be cautious.

"The grassroots family has a small business, so I won't participate!" The speaker was a man in his late forties. He spoke Huaixi dialect, and you could tell at first glance that he was a Huaixi businessman.

"Go away!" Zhu Jun pointed to the door.

The man didn't say anything and walked out without saying a word.

As soon as he left, other Huaixi merchants stood up one after another, and within a short time, they were all gone.

The remaining ones are almost all businessmen from eastern Zhejiang. This shows how fierce the competition is between eastern Zhejiang and Huaixi. Even in business, they do not cooperate.

Shen Dabao also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that these people wouldn't give them any face. He was anxious and angry, "Sixth Master, I..."

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions, why force it?" Zhu Jun smiled and waved his hand, he looked at the others, "There is still some time, you think about it more, even if you all leave, I don't care, I just forgot to say Yes, Prince Wu's Mansion will provide 200,000 taels of silver as the working capital of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce.

Anyone who joins the association will have the opportunity to receive support from the Chamber of Commerce, and the support I am talking about is not just verbal support!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver?

God, with so many people here, how many of them have so much wealth?

Just as he was thinking about it, the soldiers from Prince Wu's Mansion brought in all the boxes of silver.

This mountain of silver was piled up in front of everyone, almost blinding them!
