After hearing Li Jiawang's words, the people below discussed for a while and agreed to Li Jiawang's suggestion. Their idea was very simple. They only needed to rely on the big tree of Li Jiawang to get the quota of liquor. Everything else was of no importance to them.
After all, their original intention when they first discussed forming a business alliance was to unite everyone's efforts to compete with other large chambers of commerce that had poured into Maple Leaf City, and to obtain Li Jiawang's support and sufficient liquor quota. Now what Li Jiawang said
Although the business alliance was different from what they had discussed before, their original goal was achieved, and their relationship with Li Jiawang was further deepened. Since their interests were guaranteed, they would of course agree with Li Jiawang's words.
After getting everyone's consent, Li Jiawang said, "Since everyone agrees, let's start discussing everyone's duties and corresponding rights and obligations!"
Next, Li Jiawang discussed with these people for a long time. Considering that the main markets and personnel of the current merchant alliance are in the Haisen Territory and the eastern region of the Holy Dragon Empire, in the end, only one deacon, two governors, and five were elected.
A general manager is responsible for managing the daily operations of the business alliance. After the business alliance expands, appropriate management will be added. Li Jiawang becomes the leader of the business alliance and controls the greatest power of the business alliance.
After everyone left, Li Jiawang asked Old John to be invited to his office alone. Looking at the somewhat excited Old John, Li Jiawang smiled and said: "Congratulations on becoming the first deacon of the Merchant Alliance."
"The leader is polite. Everyone thinks highly of me, so they let me be this deacon. Although I am not very familiar with these things, I will definitely work hard to do my job well and safeguard everyone's common interests." Old John
He said modestly, but the smile on his lips showed that he was still very satisfied and happy to become a deacon of the Merchant Alliance.
"I wonder what the reason is for calling me here alone?" Old John asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"Well, I don't have anything to do. I just want to talk to you about the management of the business alliance." Li Jiawang said lightly. The deacon of the business alliance is equivalent to the general manager of the current company, responsible for managing the specific business affairs of the business alliance, and
Li Jiawang, the leader of the alliance, is equivalent to the chairman of the board. If Li Jiawang is not here, almost everything in the business alliance will be controlled by the deacons, so it can be seen that the deacons have great power.
But Li Jiawang still has one thing left, that is, the hierarchy of all merchants. After reaching a certain level, merchants can deal in a wider range of goods and travel routes, and the benefits will be greater. At the same time, the deacons have their influence.
Not only has it become very small, but it is also subject to their supervision. However, the level recognition of merchants is controlled by Li Jiawang. The level certificates of all merchants in the merchant alliance must be stamped with the seal of the Lord's Palace, otherwise they will not be recognized.
and protection.
"Oh, what are your instructions for the management of the merchant alliance?" Old John asked respectfully. He knew that although his status was elected by everyone, if he was not recognized by Li Jiawang, then his status would be
It is unstable and may be replaced at any time, so speak with special respect and caution.
"I hope you can lead the business alliance to develop in the direction I require. Of course, as long as you follow my requirements, both other businessmen in the business alliance and you yourself will gain huge benefits. I don't know what you mean.
How about it?" Li Jiawang stared at Old John and said, he couldn't keep an eye on the development of the business alliance at all times, so he needed someone to manage the business alliance for him, and Old John, a man with outstanding business ability, high prestige and wide connections,
It is the best choice.
"As long as it is beneficial to the development of the business alliance, as long as the business alliance can develop and grow, as long as the members of the business alliance can gain the greatest benefits, no matter what it is, I will do it. And I know that as long as you are an adult,
Everything you order is beneficial to the development of the business alliance. As long as it is done as requested by the lord, it is beneficial to the members of the business alliance. As long as it is done in the direction of development indicated by the lord, it will be beneficial to the development of the business alliance.
The best direction.
Therefore, I am willing to obey the orders of the adults. I will do whatever the adults ask me to do. If the adults ask me to face east, I will never face the west. If the adults ask me to beat the dog, I will never beat the cat. In short, I am willing to be
Your Excellency, you are a loyal steward and will manage the Merchant Alliance well for you." Old John said in a respectful and almost flattering tone. He understood that the center of the Merchant Alliance is Li Jiawang, and whether everyone's interests can be protected also depends on Li Jiawang, so he said
After all, his interests and status are tied to Li Jiawang's words.
Hearing Old John's straightforward confession of loyalty, Li Jiawang was very happy. He needed such a person, so he happily said: "I'm not as great as you said, but as long as you listen to my opinion, no matter what other people do,
In this way, at least you and your family can get huge benefits."
Hearing Li Jiawang's words, Old John felt happy. As long as his interests could be guaranteed, that would be fine. As for the interests of other people, he was not within the scope of his consideration. Although he was highly praised by everyone, it did not mean that he had to
Consider the interests of others, after all, everyone is self-interested.
However, in order to do his job better and to get Li Jiawang’s approval for his approach, Old John respectfully asked Li Jiawang: “I wonder, sir, what is the recent development direction of our business alliance? And our business alliance
What aspects should the alliance focus on?”
"The main purpose of our Merchant Alliance during this period of time is to extend its influence to the entire Holy Dragon Empire, as well as the eastern, northern, and southern islands near the Haisen Territory, and at the same time absorb as many nobles from various places as possible.
And powerful businessmen join the merchant alliance in order to strengthen the overall strength of the merchant alliance." Li Jiawang said calmly, his purpose of doing this was to set up an outpost and collect information and resources for future expansion overseas and in the Holy Dragon Empire.
Expanding influence is to improve the credibility of the merchant alliance and its overall strength, and attracting big nobles and businessmen from all over the country to join is to add fresh blood to the merchant alliance. These old Johns all know it, but how to do it and what to use
To attract others to join, he had no choice but to keep an eye on Li Jiawang, hoping that he could give him a good suggestion.
After reading the meaning in Old John's eyes, Li Jiawang said lightly: "After a while, I will shrink the sales of liquor and make it a unique item of our merchant alliance, selling it in the Shenglong Empire and other nearby countries. At the same time, we will
Weapons from the Lord's Mansion, as well as some other unique items, will also be provided to merchants within the Merchant Alliance who meet the conditions for sale."
Hearing Li Jiawang's words, Old John's eyes lit up. He knew how popular the liquor and weapons in the Lord's Mansion were. As long as they controlled these two things, the merchant alliance would inevitably rise. And since other items could be compared with liquor and weapons,
Then it should be some good stuff too!
Suddenly he thought of the business alliance's force problem. Without corresponding force, wealth would only lead to countless troubles and disasters. Although the business alliance could use money to recruit experts, it also needed some confidants, so Old John asked with concern.
He said: "Sir, what should I do with the guards of our merchant alliance? Should I recruit people from the lord's mansion, or should each of our families choose from their own guards, or recruit experts from the outside world."
"The guards of the Merchant Alliance are responsible for protecting the safety and interests of the merchants in the Merchant Alliance. They are very important. Therefore, they will be composed of experts from my lord's palace, guards from each of your families, and experts recruited from the territory. In this way, we can be protected
The safety and interests of the business alliance." Li Jiawang said calmly as if he had been prepared.
Seeing that there was no problem with Old John, Li Jiawang said: "If there is no problem, you can go down and prepare. In two days, our business alliance will be officially established in Maple Leaf City, and you will have to work hard then."
"It's my honor to serve you, your Majesty. I'm resigning now." Old John said respectfully.
Just after Old John left, a dark figure suddenly appeared in a dark corner of Li Jiawang's office, slowly revealing his figure in front of Li Jiawang.dd
