After noticing Yang Chenglong's strange expression, Liu Hanxing and Su Yuanfeng, two guys with different agendas, became even more convinced:
This is sure!
Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Chenglong put a thick pile of materials aside.
Then he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoists, this bid evaluation work has officially ended. Now I will report to you the scoring results of the major chambers of commerce!"
Yang Chenglong paused for a moment, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued to introduce: "According to the relevant requirements of the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", the chambers of commerce that were vetoed by one vote included the Haiya City Haiya Chamber of Commerce, including
Light Sword Sect Northern Lights Chamber of Commerce, Fire Cloud State Jining Chamber of Commerce, Borneo State Jiading Chamber of Commerce..."
After reading more than a dozen chambers of commerce in a row that were undoubtedly rejected by one vote, the bidding meeting has reached the most critical stage.
"...The following is the score of the candidate chambers of commerce that meets the selection criteria. The rankings are announced in order from low to high according to the final score: the last one is Nanman Prefecture Huaishan Chamber of Commerce, with a score of 54.8 points; then is Luanshi City Guyun Chamber of Commerce
, scored 55.3 points; Xuanji City Linglong Chamber of Commerce, 55.5 points; Yuehua City Weiyang Chamber of Commerce, 55.6 points; Penglai Island Oriental Chamber of Commerce, 55.7 points..."
Since the entire bidding process is open and transparent, there is little room for manipulation by all parties.
However, as Yang Chenglong reported the scores of the major chambers of commerce one after another, the chamber of commerce representatives on the scene quickly caused a commotion. The reason is very simple. The scores of the major chambers of commerce are really too close. Except for the scores of several chambers of commerce at the beginning
In addition to some gaps, there were even situations where several chambers of commerce in the back had the same score in a row.
Everyone didn't notice it when they filled out the form.
However, after Yang Chenglong reported the final scores of each chamber of commerce, everyone compared the bids with reference to the bid evaluation standards, and they were shocked to find that the setting of the scoring standards seemed to be deliberately designed to narrow the gap between the major chambers of commerce.
For example, the number of years of operation in Seacliff City.
According to the scoring standards established by Liu Hanxing, in the past 500 years, any chamber of commerce that has been doing business in Haiya City for more than 100 years will have a score of 2 points, and 0.2 points will be deducted for every 10 years until the deduction is completed.
There seems to be no problem with this standard, but since cultivators themselves have long life spans, and the histories of major cultivator chambers of commerce are also very long, except for rare upstarts like the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, as long as they do business in Haiya City
Chambers of commerce basically have hundreds of years of business history, so everyone’s scores for this subject are basically full marks.
Another example is the level of asset-liability ratio.
Since the return on capital in the Jiuzhou Cultivation World is extremely low, chambers of commerce without leverage cannot survive at all. Therefore, the debt ratios of major chambers of commerce are over 50%, and most chambers of commerce have scores of zero.
As for the total scale indicator that can really widen the gap between major chambers of commerce, this public bidding will not be assessed at all. It only sets a total asset of not less than 8 million Lingshi coins, and the first batch of funds transferred to the supervision account must not be less than 800.
A rigid indicator of the Wanling Stone Coin, this indicator only eliminated three ultra-small chambers of commerce that did not measure up to their capabilities.
When Yang Chenglong read to the end of the list, the scores of almost all bidding chambers of commerce were between 55 and 60 points. Chambers of commerce with scores lower than 58 points were basically chambers of commerce that had obvious flaws in certain aspects, while chambers of commerce with no flaws scored.
Basically, the scores were between 58-60. This discovery immediately made representatives from major chambers of commerce look suspicious.
As Yang Chenglong's eyes continued to move downwards, the final winning bidder was about to emerge: "... Qingyu City He Family Chamber of Commerce scored 59.5 points, Mangya City Li Family Chamber of Commerce scored 59.6 points, and Haiya City Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce scored 59.6 points.
,scored 60.5 points!”
Hearing that the score of Zhujia Chamber of Commerce was much higher than that of other chambers of commerce, both Zhu Ziming and Liu Hanxing showed unexpected expressions, but this outrageous result caused an uproar at the bidding site:
"How come the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's score is so high?"
"The Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce is already a loser, but it can still get such a high score. Is this a blatant shady act?"
"It's definitely a shady story! The details of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce must be announced!"
With the wishes of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce,
When the scores were finally announced, the bidding site was instantly drowned out by the outcry of protest.
Since neither Yang Lu nor Xi Ziang came to the scene in person, Yang Chenglong was not sure how to act in this situation.
Seeing Liu Hanxing turn his attention to himself, Yang Chenglong could only face his head and said loudly: "There is no problem with the scoring results this time. If you have any questions, you can compare the scores of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce."
Saying that, Yang Chenglong waved his right hand.
Rows of shining golden words soon appeared in the void, which were the scores of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone present was a business expert, and they quickly saw the problem from the scores of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.
It turns out that the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's other scores are not much different from other chambers of commerce, and are even slightly lower than other chambers of commerce. However, in a subject called "asset quality", it scored a full score of 4 points, while other chambers of commerce scored a perfect 4 points in this subject.
Most of the scores under the subjects were zero points, with only a few chambers of commerce scoring 0.5-1.5 points.
According to the bidding documents given by Liu Hanxing, the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system requires a large amount of funds to operate. Therefore, which chamber of commerce has the highest cash asset ratio and the more cash assets it holds, the more powerful it will be as a partner of Wuliang Sword Sect.
, so the score on this subject called "asset quality" will be higher.
Since the return on investment in Kyushu Cultivation World is very low, major Cultivation Chambers of Commerce are basically operating with full leverage, and the cash flow of the chambers of commerce is generally very tight, which results in the scores of major chambers of commerce under the "Asset Quality" subject being very low.
Even if the Haiya Group is extremely wealthy, without the financial support provided by Haiya Bank, if you look at the financial statements of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce alone, you will find that its cash flow situation is very poor, with only 1 point at most.
However, Zhujia Chamber of Commerce is not doing well except that its cash flow is particularly good.
Because the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce had been expelled from Haiya City by various forces, under the tremendous pressure exerted by the Haiya Department, all the wealth accumulated by the Zhu Family for more than 500 years was sold off at a low price. It originally owned more than 30 million yuan.
The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, which had a net book value of Lingshi coins, was left with more than eight million Lingshi coins in cash after liquidation.
If the Liu Family Chamber of Commerce hadn't temporarily taken a stake in the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, provided the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce with financial support of several million spiritual stone coins, and become the major shareholder of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ziming wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the tender.
But being liquidated also has the benefits of being liquidated.
Today, all the assets of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce are in cash, and cash accounts for more than 90% of the total assets. Not only that, the total cash of more than 10 million Lingshi coins is second only to the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the leader in trade. You must know that Haiya
Although the Chamber of Commerce can also put out tens of millions in cash, the book assets of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce have reached more than 20 billion!
Therefore, in the subject of asset quality, Zhujia Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly received full marks.
In this scoring result, the total difference between the second place and the twentieth place was less than 2 points. Zhujia Chamber of Commerce established an advantage of at least 3 points in one subject, and naturally won the first place.
But of course this kind of first place cannot convince the public.
Someone immediately jumped out to protest: "The Zhujia Chamber of Commerce has sold all its belongings, so it has such a high cash ratio and such a low debt ratio. If this is what is assessed in this bidding, as long as it is given again
In half a year, I can definitely raise more cash than the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, so how can I let the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce rank first?"
Before Yang Chenglong and Liu Hanxing had time to respond, someone immediately protested: "It doesn't even take half a year. Just give us two months, and we can collect 20 million spiritual stone coins in cash!"
Facing the doubts from representatives of the major chambers of commerce, Liu Hanxing would definitely not be able to confront them in person as his identity. After all, his real opponent is Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. It would be too embarrassing to fight with Su Yuanfeng's white gloves.
.
So Zhu Ziming immediately stood up and retorted on behalf of his master: "This behavior of yours is called whitewashing reports! This tender document clearly states that the financial status of each chamber of commerce is based on the latest financial report! If you look at it,
Asking for a new tender if another chamber of commerce wins, this kind of tender will never produce results!"
"You are quibbling
I think this bidding plan is clearly tailor-made for your Zhujia Chamber of Commerce!"
"Since you think there is a problem, why didn't you put forward your opinions when the bidding plan was just announced? Now you are raising your opinions after the bidding results are out. This is not in compliance with the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations" at all!"
"It's not because you have buried a trap in the scoring standards!"
"That's because you didn't read the terms carefully! Our Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's process of winning the bid has completely stood the test. Even if you file a lawsuit with the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect, we, the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, will be responsible!"
"What you say is nice. Let's go to Elder Qiu to complain. Isn't that just a meat bun beating a dog?"
As the quarrel continues to escalate, the recruitment scene is about to turn into the Legislative Yuan of an island. However, unlike the earth's politicians who are all ordinary people, the representatives of the chamber of commerce participating in the bidding are basically all cultivators. If a full-scale martial arts act is really staged, the consequences will be disastrous.
A street fight breaks out in Yayu.
Just when Zhu Ziming was about to be beaten by everyone, Su Yuanfeng gently clapped his hands and took the initiative to relieve him.
More than 70% of the representatives of the chamber of commerce present were invited by the Haiya group. Seeing Su Yuanfeng take the initiative to calm down the commotion, the venue, which was originally full of rebellion, gradually became quiet.
Seeing everyone's eyes turned towards him, Su Yuanfeng coughed lightly and said: "The rules of the Wuliang Sword Sect are rules. As long as there are no problems with the process, we should recognize the results of the bidding. Are you right, Mr. Liu?"
"
Liu Hanxing was already prepared to confront Su Yuanfeng.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuanfeng directly approved the result of this bidding.
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Su Yuanfeng's abnormal behavior immediately aroused Liu Hanxing's high vigilance.
He glanced calmly at Yang Chenglong, the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall who had just announced the results, but found that Yang Chenglong's eyes were wandering, and he seemed to be very interested in the manuscript paper in his hand, and did not mean to look at him at all. This made him feel sad
Liu Hanxing doubted his judgment again.
If there is something wrong with the result of this bidding, his ally Yang Chenglong should remind him!
Could it be that I am paranoid?
Liu Hanxing couldn't figure out what the Haiya Department was doing. In addition, his original purpose was to let the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce win the bid. Faced with Su Yuanfeng's proposal, he could not directly deny the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce's winning bid.
So he had to deal with it casually: "The rule of law in Zhongzhou is the governing purpose of the Wuliang Sword Sect. As long as this bid meets the relevant requirements of the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", of course I fully support it."
Liu Hanxing's answer was a bit ambiguous. This was obviously not the answer Su Yuanfeng wanted, so he simply stopped asking open-ended questions and went straight to the topic: "So President Liu also agrees with the results of this bidding?"
This aggressive "zero-one question" finally drove Liu Hanxing to a dead end. If he answered "no", it would be like a slap in the face, but if he answered "yes", it seemed to play into the opponent's plan...
Faced with Su Yuanfeng's ill-intentioned questioning, a political master like Li Qingyang would definitely not give a clear answer. He would just act like a ruthless repeater and repeat his original views, and he would be able to overcome toughness with softness.
Easily resolve. If the other party insists on pursuing and fighting, just answer "I think the key point of the question is not here" or "I think the key point of the question may be there", and then read back what you just said.
However, when it comes to political tactics, Liu Hanxing is far behind compared to Fei Fan and Su Yuanfeng, not to mention Li Qingyang.
As the direct disciple of Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, although Liu Hanxing has very good spiritual qualifications and is now a dignified golden elixir stage monk, he is still less than 200 years old and is older than Su Yuanfeng, who has just entered the golden elixir realm.
He is younger. If the time spent in seclusion and practice is excluded, his social age will be even younger.
Faced with Su Yuanfeng's aggressive questions, Liu Hanxing, who has always had a strong personality, did not choose to avoid his sharp edge.
After pondering for a moment, he replied very straightforwardly: "This bidding process fully complies with the relevant provisions of the "Zhongzhou Sect Management Regulations", and of course I recognize the results of this bidding.
"
However, what Su Yuanfeng was waiting for was his words.
Seeing Liu Hanxing's clear answer, Su Yuanfeng immediately turned to Xie Yu, editor of Xiuzhen Financial Weekly, and said, "Editor Xie, have you written down what President Liu just said?"
Xie Yu cooperated and took out a picture stone and said: "Seniors, don't worry, I have recorded the entire process of this bidding!"
Seeing that these people seemed to be well prepared, Liu Hanxing felt even worse...
Sure enough, Su Yuanfeng immediately turned to look at Yang Chenglong and said very familiarly: "Deacon Yang, should you announce to everyone the real winner of this public bidding?"
The real winner?
Is the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce not the real winner?
Being stared at by everyone in astonishment, Yang Chenglong declared expressionlessly: "I had not finished reading out the final results just now, but I was interrupted by the heated discussion of fellow Taoists. I didn't even have time to announce the final winning bid.
Chamber of Commerce. According to the scoring results of this bid evaluation, the final winning chamber of commerce was the Haiya City Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, with a score of... 61.5 points!"
"Okay!" I saw Chen Ping, a monk from the Golden Sword Sect who was sitting not far from Zhu Ziming, suddenly stood up as if he had been prepared, clenched his hands and raised his hands and said, "Thank you everyone! Thank you to the Wuliang Sword Sect,
Thank you to Deacon Yang, thank you to President Liu, thank you to President Su for your strong support, and thank you to all the Taoists who participated in the bidding for giving us the opportunity of the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce!"
