Soon, an old man with a white beard and two warriors came over.
This man looked arrogant and walked straight up to Fang Chen and everyone, saluting everyone.
"Song Yanji, I have met the prince, met the minister, met Mr. Fang, met all the presidents..."
The two parties briefly saluted, and Fang Chen and the Minister of Hubu greeted Song Yanji to take a seat.
Fang Chen saw that the other party seemed to have come with bad intentions, as he did not send any gifts, nor did he say any words of congratulations.
The Imperial City Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a very powerful non-governmental organization. Many chambers of commerce have joined the alliance to protect each other's interests.
When there are some irreconcilable conflicts between various chambers of commerce due to competition, or when a chamber of commerce violates the rules, does something unacceptable to everyone, and harms everyone's interests, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will come forward.
Bai Yongliang smiled and said: "President Song, you are a little late, why don't you punish yourself with three drinks?"
Song Yanji said calmly: "I didn't come here to drink or celebrate."
"I came here to discuss something very important with Mr. Fang."
Fang Chen asked: "I wonder what President Song is doing?"
Song Yanji said coldly: "Master Fang, I support the opening of your Dayan Bank. Anyone who wants to open a bank or a chamber of commerce will benefit the merchants and the people."
"However, the business models of banks and chambers of commerce must not be changed, and Mr. Fang's business model runs counter to the rules set by our alliance. I am here to solve this matter!"
Before Fang Chen opened a bank, he had already had a detailed understanding of the rules of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
For example, if the price of goods of the same quality is raised or lowered, and the price is too different from others, it will definitely not work. That is malicious competition.
Or you may charge a custody fee for depositing money. The fees charged by each bank are almost the same, and the fees cannot exceed the range, etc.
The Chamber of Commerce Alliance is involved in a series of issues such as store pricing, sales, storage, etc.
In fact, the imperial court also had departments to manage these matters. The imperial court mainly favored the common people, and there were many details. The alliance of chambers of commerce mainly protected the interests of merchants.
Fang Chen said: "President Song, are there any problems with Dayan Bank's business model?"
In the rules of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, there is no provision for providing interest to customers.
Because of this, large chambers of commerce have not done this before, and what some small and unscrupulous chambers of commerce have done are deceptive and ultimately failed. Therefore, there is no reason for the Emerging Industries Chamber of Commerce Alliance to control it.
For example, Fang Chen previously manufactured soap, textile cars, and penicillin. These were all things that did not exist before, and the core technology was also in Fang Chen's hands.
Fang Chen has the final say on how much he wants to price, and there is also a secret business of black powder. No one else has the right to interfere with how much he wants to price.
As for Fang Chen's interest payment to customers this time, there is no such rule in the terms of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
After the two parties communicated, President Song said: "Yes, these provisions did not exist before, but now after discussions with the presidents of major chambers of commerce, we have added these provisions again."
"We don't allow you to do this. Doing so is disrupting the market and unfair competition!"
Unfair? Newly added terms? Fang Chen knows, it must be aimed at him!
Fang Chen smiled: "President Song discussed with the major chambers of commerce? Who did he discuss with? The presidents of the major chambers of commerce in the imperial capital are all here. I want to see who disagrees with me doing this?
Who said I disrupted the market?"
Fang Chen's eyes swept across the faces of the conference presidents present.
At this time, Shen Wancai spoke: "President Song, Dayan Bank was opened by the imperial court. Can the imperial court not know all the rules? We, Wancai Bank, fully support Mr. Fang!"
Jiang Ruoxue also spoke: "Although our Shenlong Chamber of Commerce is the Saibei Chamber of Commerce, we have been doing business in the Great Yan Dynasty for so many years, and we are already considered a member of the Great Yan Dynasty. We also fully support the Dayan Bank!"
The two of them spoke, but the presidents of other chambers of commerce present did not speak.
Some are drinking tea, some are waiting, and some are doing other things, as if they are hiding something.
Obviously, the rest of the people don't agree!
The atmosphere is very depressing and weird!
At this time, Bai Yongliang spoke: "I don't agree. This business model is completely putting the cart before the horse, and completely overturns the money bank business model of the Great Yan Dynasty for thousands of years. It has never appeared in the Great Yan Dynasty or in other countries. This pattern!”
"Since the founding of Dayan, the imperial court has never opened a bank. I can understand that this is the imperial court's suppression of all our merchants? So, I firmly disagree!"
As soon as Yongliang spoke, the other presidents and village owners spoke one after another.
"President Bai is right, and our Chamber of Commerce doesn't agree either!"
“We also disagree that we are on the same side as the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!”
"I will reconsider!"
All of a sudden, dozens of chamber of commerce presidents at the scene expressed their opposition.
In the distance, there were more people who opposed it.
None of them wanted Fang Chen to take away their business and their customers.
At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Only Shen Wancai and Jiang Ruoxue stood on Fang Chen's side.
At this time, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance shouted coldly: "How ridiculous!"
"Dayan Bank was established by the imperial court and was established after discussions between His Majesty and officials. What right do you, a small private organization, have to object?"
"Today is the opening day of Dayan Bank. If you come to congratulate me, I welcome you. If you make trouble, we won't be polite!"
As soon as the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, more people at the scene showed dissatisfaction.
Song Yuanji snorted coldly: "Master Shangshu, don't use the imperial court to suppress us. With so many chambers of commerce presidents here, can you suppress us? Once your business model is used, all our chambers of commerce will boycott it. You must think carefully. Got it!"
Song Yuanji was threatening and warning, but he didn't take the court officials or Fang Chen seriously.
The Minister of Hubu was furious: "Come here, arrest Song Yuanji and take him down to wake up!"
"Anyone talking nonsense here, arrest them all!"
If this continues, it will get worse and worse!
Therefore, the Minister of Hubu wanted to arrest the person.
However, as soon as the order from the Minister of Hubu was given, many people from the chamber of commerce stood up and glared at the Minister of Hubu.
Some people even grabbed the wine glass and threw it to the ground.
Dozens of people from the patrol camp came to arrest people!
However, there are also some bodyguard warriors here at the Chamber of Commerce, who are holding the weapons on their waists and are ready to take action at any time!
Fang Chen didn't expect that things would develop to this situation!
An unknown sneer appeared at the corner of Bai Yongliang's mouth.
Of course he arranged all this.
If today was just a drinking celebration, Bai Yongliang would not have any follow-up arrangements, but what the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce and Wancai Bank did today severely slapped Bai Yongliang in the face!
Therefore, Bai Yongliang later asked the president of the Imperial Capital Alliance to come forward to boycott Fang Chen and Dayan Bank.
At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is riding a tiger and is unable to dismount!
He thought that after the arrest warrant was issued, these people would be calmer, admit their mistakes immediately, apologize, and the matter would be over.
I didn't expect that the other party would dare to resist!
Did they really arrest Song Yanji and many presidents?
Song Yanji saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was hesitant, and he said with a victorious attitude: "Master Fang, we are all businessmen, and harmony makes money. We are just discussing and making suggestions. I hope Master Fang will never make mistakes."
