Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth business alliance
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
After returning to Odd City, a patrol team immediately shouted loudly at the Servant Legion on the city wall, reminding the Servant Legion to be careful in defense and quickly galloped towards the direction where the lord's mansion was.
In a moment, the information of the enemy attack reached Ye Chen's ears, which made Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He looked at the patrol captain with an expectant look and asked loudly: "What's going on? Where did the enemy come from, how many people are there, and who are leading them? How strong is it? You can tell me all of them."
Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, seeing the undisguised look of anticipation on Ye Chen's face, the patrol captain did not understand what was going on, but he also let go of his nervous mood a lot and reported slowly: "Master Lord, according to our observation, the enemy is the army of Jiuxing City, led by Robert, the lord of Jiuxing City, with about one million people. He is very strong, almost all of them are at the high level of the Nascent Soul stage. Now the million-dollar army of Jiuxing City is still hundreds of miles away from our Aod City, and it only takes a few hours to reach our Aod City. We must prepare for defense in advance."
Hearing the patrol captain's words, Ye Chen nodded gently and said, "Well, I understand, I have recorded your credit, you can go down first!"
After the patrol captain left, Ye Chen summoned the three black iron guards Ross and Zhao Haiguan Dong Wei Meng to the city lord's mansion to discuss the matter of responding to the attack of the million-strong army in Jiuxing City.
At the same time, the people and merchants in Odd City also heard the news that the millions of troops in Jiuxing City had siege. The 30 million people in the city did not hesitate or hesitate at all. After purchasing some essential goods, they quickly returned to their houses, took out the weapons from their homes, held them tightly in their hands, closed the door tightly to prevent anyone from entering, and quietly waited for the outcome of the war.
The 30 million people in Odd City are not disgusted with Ye Chen and the Black Iron Guards, and have no favors. They just regard it as air. As long as they do not disturb their lives, they will not care. Now the millions of troops in Nine Star City are coming to attack Odd City. The 30 million people in the city are neither ready to make trouble for Ye Chen nor help Ye Chen. They are just waiting quietly for the outcome of the war, because for them, whether Ye Chen or the lord of Nine Star City, Robert, ruled Odd City, has little impact on them.
The 30 million people in the city did not care about the outcome of the upcoming war, but the merchants in the city were extremely concerned about the outcome of the war. They all hoped that the army under Ye Chen would win and allow them to continue to do business and make money in a relaxed environment, and also defaulted on a lot of tax expenses.
Under the operation of Jenny, the management rights and tax rights of Odd City were bought by the Commercial Alliance of Odd City under the operation of Jenny of the Nether Chamber of Commerce. In other words, the management rights and tax rights of Odd City fell into the hands of the merchants of Odd City. Therefore, the merchants of Odd City attached great importance to the ownership rights of Odd City. After hearing that the millions of troops in Jiuxing City attacked the city, they immediately convened the Commercial Alliance Conference to discuss how the alliance should deal with the upcoming war.
Soon, the merchants summoned by the Business Alliance quickly rushed to the conference room of the Business Alliance headquarters with their personal guards, and quietly waited for the arrival of others.
Not long after, Zamat, the leader of the Business Alliance, entered the conference room of the headquarters of the Business Alliance, casually glanced at the dozens of businessmen in the conference room, and said with a calm expression: "Everyone, the lord of Jiuxing City Robert led a million troops to attack our Ode City. Two hours later, the troops will be at the Ode City. I wonder what everyone thinks about this matter?"
As soon as Zamat's voice fell, he saw a businessman in gorgeous clothes. He looked around the people in the conference room and said with a calm expression: "Everyone, we are businessmen, and we don't need to pay attention to this upcoming war. No matter what the outcome of the war is, it will not have much impact on us merchants. We don't need to do anything, we just need to wait quietly for the outcome of the war."
As soon as the voice of the gorgeous clothes came to an end, he saw John, a young businessman in gorgeous clothes and handsome appearance, and retorted loudly: "Everyone, I don't agree with Deacon Bernie's words! We must not stand by and watch the upcoming war, because it is a war that concerns the future interests and destiny of our business alliance!
In the more than a month since Ye Chen City Lord ruled Ode City, the profit growth rate of my Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce increased by 50%, and saved a lot of administrative expenses and taxes, allowing my Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce to make profits from last year! My Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is like this. I think the chambers of commerce under my Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce should have made no less profits in the past month!
Everyone, if Ye Chen continues to control Odd City, then we can continue to exist as the master of Odd City and continue to earn a lot of wealth. If the city lord of Nine Star City Robert becomes the master of Odd City, then we will lose all the privileges in Odd City and will be bullied and plundered by Robert and the powerful people of Nine Star City. Therefore, I hope that our business alliance will stand on the side of Ye Chen City in this upcoming war and do our best to assist the city lord Ye Chen to defeat the millions of troops in Nine Star City!"
As soon as John's voice fell, the merchants in the conference room started to talk loudly, hoping that Ye Chen would win the war, but worried that Ye Chen's strength would be weak and could not protect the safety of Odd City. In the future, Robert would liquidate, and then he and his chamber of commerce would start operations.
Hearing the discussion of the people in the conference room, Zamat, the leader of the business alliance sitting on the main seat of the conference room, showed a faint smile on his lips, and listened quietly to the discussion of the people.
Zamat, the leader of the Commercial Alliance, is an ambitious person. He not only saw the great interests of the Commercial Alliance in Ode City, but also saw the terrifying benefits that Ye Chen would bring to their Commercial Alliance in the future! He knew very clearly that Ye Chen was not interested in the governance of cities such as Ode City. As long as Ye Chen gave Ye Chen enough wealth, their Commercial Alliance could obtain the management rights and tax rights of Ye Chen's cities, and their Commercial Alliance would obtain terrifying profits and extremely high status. Therefore, Zamat had decided in his heart that he must take advantage of the millions of troops in Jiuxing City to attack and get more wealth in the future.
The reason why Zamat doesn't speak and lets others speak is to explore the ideas of others, clear some people out, get more benefits, and make the business alliance move towards Ye Chen with all its might.
A quarter of an hour later, seeing that the time was almost over, Zamat understood the attitude of everyone. Zamat clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, calm down, listen to me!"
Hearing Zamat's words, everyone in the conference hall closed their mouths and turned their eyes to Zamat above the main position, listening quietly to Zamat's speech.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zamat calmed down his thoughts and said slowly: "Everyone, I am very good at City Lord Ye Chen. I am ready to fully support City Lord Ye Chen against the millions of troops in Jiuxing City. I hope you can fully support me! Now, please raise your hand with those who are willing to fully support City Lord Ye Chen!"
As soon as Zamat's voice fell, everyone in the conference room bowed their heads and talked for a while, most of them raised their right hands, and a small number hesitated for a moment, without raising their hands, but just sat there quietly, waiting for Zamat's next words.
With a sharp look, Zamat looked at the people in the conference room and turned his eyes to those who did not raise his hands and said lightly: "Everyone, you have another chance. If you are unwilling to support City Lord Ye Chen, then please withdraw from the Commercial Alliance, leave the conference room now, and pay taxes to our Commercial Alliance on time!"
As soon as Zamat's voice fell, those who did not raise their hands changed their faces and their heads started to run rapidly.
If they are not enjoying the tax exemption policy, then their chamber of commerce will suffer heavy losses. The chamber of commerce under their jurisdiction has almost no future in Aud City and has no competitiveness with the chamber of commerce under the commercial alliance! Unless Ye Chen is defeated by Jiuxing City and loses control over Aud City, their chamber of commerce will inevitably decline, and may even be suppressed by the commercial alliance, or be robbed by Ye Chen!
Thinking of this, those businessmen who did not raise their hands quickly raised their right hand and agreed to Zamat's plan to fully support Ye Chen! Because they clearly know that they support Ye Chen and support the business alliance, then if Ye Chen wins, they will receive a generous report in the future. If Ye Chen fails, they will lose at most part of their wealth and will not shake their foundation.
Seeing that everyone supported their decision, Zamat showed a satisfied expression on his face and said lightly: "Everyone, since our business alliance intends to fully support Ye Chen City Lord, we must show some sincerity! Therefore, I decided that all the merchants in our business alliance will take out some supplies and Netherworld Fruit to support Ye Chen!
At the same time, since our business alliance was formed because of the management and tax rights of Aud City, and it was intertwined with the fate of Lord Ye Chen, the more wealth you contribute this time, the higher your status in the business alliance, and the highest one can directly serve as the leader of our business alliance, which is where I am now!"
As soon as Zamat's voice fell, the handsome John showed excitement on his face and immediately shouted loudly: "I am willing to support Ye Chen City Lord 60 billion of the best Nether Fruit and supplies worth 40 billion of the best Nether Fruit!"
Hearing John's words, the faces of the people in the conference hall changed one after another, and they secretly exclaimed John's big deal. One of the merchants who were good friends with John couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "John, are you crazy? Six hundred billion top-quality Nether Fruit, but the working capital of the Ninth floor of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, the wealth of the 40 billion top-quality Nether Fruit, and the supplies of the Sixth floor of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. If you do this, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce will fall into a place that will never be restored!"
Hearing the exclamation of his friends, John shrugged his shoulders and said with a calm look: "I know! I look at City Lord Ye Chen, I believe that my decision today will bring me a hundred times a thousand times a profit!"
Hearing John's words, everyone in the conference room shook their heads involuntarily, and expressed that they were not optimistic about John, and turned their attention to Zamat to see how many top-quality Netherworld Fruits he planned to support Ye Chen. You must know that if the top-quality Netherworld Fruit he supported Ye Chen was less than 100 billion, then his position as the leader of the business alliance would be unstable.
Hearing John's words and seeing the eyes of everyone, Zamat's heart moved, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to John. He didn't expect that John would be so generous, and that his future bet on Ye Chen's character and ability!
John's bid for 100 billion of top-quality Netherworld Fruits greatly increased Zamat's pressure. He originally thought that he could maintain the position of leader of the business alliance by just one or two hundred top-quality Netherworld Fruits, but he did not expect that John would be so generous that he would put him in a dilemma.
Zamat's hesitation made everyone in the conference room whisper involuntarily, and some people even showed a faint sarcastic smile on their lips, believing that Zamat was shooting himself in the foot.
Hearing the lowly conversations of everyone, Zamat hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and a firm look flashed in his eyes. He was about to bet on all his worth and began to quickly calculate his worth, as well as resources and Netherworld Fruits that could be used.
Not far away, John saw a firm look flashing in Zamat's eyes and felt disappointed. He knew that he had no hope of taking the position of leader, because the scale of his Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce was not as large as the wealth controlled by Zamat's hands.
After calculating in my heart for a moment, Zamat glanced at the people in the conference room with a sharp gaze, and said with a calm expression: "Since John is willing to support the materials and wealth of the City Lord Ye Chen worth 100 billion of the best Nether Fruit, as the leader of the commercial alliance, I can't fall behind. I support the City Lord Ye Chen with 105 billion of the best Nether Fruit and various materials worth 50 billion of the best Nether Fruit!"
As soon as Zamat's voice fell, everyone in the conference room exclaimed loudly. The materials and wealth worth 200 billion were too huge, and many of them did not have that much wealth!
With Zamat's statement, others began to report a number one after another. Among them, John and Zamat's friends supported a little more for the sake of John and Zamat's face, reaching 10 to 20 billion, while others only supported more than 10 to 20 billion at will, which directly caused drastic changes in the decision-makers of the business alliance.
In the end, dozens of people from the Commercial Alliance gathered wealth and supplies worth more than 500 billion of the top-quality Nether Fruits, and Zamat continued to serve as the leader of the Commercial Alliance, John was promoted to the No. 1 deacon of the Commercial Alliance, and ten other people who supported more than one billion of the top-quality Nether Fruits also served as one deacon, while the others were ordinary members of the Commercial Alliance.
At the same time, because the main function of the business alliance is to allocate the rights of Odd City and get along with Ye Chen, the decision-making power of the business alliance is distributed according to the proportion of personal support for Ye Chen. Zamat and John gained nearly half of the decision-making power, and the two can control all matters of the business alliance by joining hands.
