One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 Chamber of Commerce
After Qin Yi's patient and meticulous explanation, all the guests who participated in the investment promotion meeting understood the terms of the investment promotion rules, and they had no objections to the content of the terms.

Therefore, Qin Yi suggested that everyone let go of eating and drinking first, and then proceed to the next agenda item of the China Merchants Association when they are full.

After two quarters of an hour, everyone was full of wine and food, Qin Yi ordered people to withdraw from the banquet, and started the second agenda of the Merchants Association.

The second agenda item, and the most important one, is determining the winning bidder.

Qin Yi did not adopt the method of bidding to win the bid in the later generations, but adopted the method of collective review, and the family background of the participating bidders was comprehensively considered.

Before the meeting, the applicants who intend to participate in the iron ore operation have listed all the human, financial and material resources they can invest, and submitted them to Wei Ke.Wei Ji organized the civil officials in the county government to copy [-] or [-] copies of each report.

After the second agenda item started, Qin Yi ordered people to send all the orders to each customer, and conduct an open and transparent democratic review.

The discussion on this agenda was extremely intense, and everyone tried their best to fight for a spot for themselves.However, strength is the best proof, and this cannot be faked.

Qin Yi also specifically stated that if the investment projects submitted by the bidders cannot be cashed in the future, the deposits they delivered will be confiscated in full and will not be returned.

After more than an hour of discussion, finally, out of nearly [-] bidders, nine with stronger strength were selected.

The winning bidder is happy, while the unsuccessful bidder is disappointed.But after all, they were not strong enough and they couldn't say anything.

"You don't have to be too disappointed. After the iron mine opens in the future, it will also drive the surrounding industries. Although you can't participate in the operation of the iron mine, you can already make money with the iron mine!" Qin Yi comforted those people with a smile.

Someone immediately asked Qin Yi: "Magistrate Qin, what do you mean by surrounding industries?"

Qin Yi explained: "Qin looked at it just now, and there will be 800 people in the iron mine in the future. You can think about it, after these 800 people settled in Huangshiya, in addition to eating, they earned money and also There will be other consumption. You can open tea shops, wine shops, and even brothels near Huangshiya. Isn’t this all money-making business?”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.But some people also said: "The iron mines are full of hardships, haha, they are reluctant to spend the money they make."

Qin Yi smiled and said: "That's wrong, the iron mine is not full of suffering haha. In the future, all investors will send their cronies to take charge of the iron mine. These people will not be reluctant to spend money."

Having said that, he looked at Wang Heng, and said, "Mr. Zipei, for example, has already explained that he will live in the iron mine in the future. Mr. Zipei is away from home, without the company of his beautiful wife and family. It's also very lonely. If there is a brothel near the iron mine, Mr. Zi Pei will definitely become a regular customer."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Wang Heng was also generous. When he heard Qin Yi making fun of him, he not only was not shy, but also said carelessly: "Wang is not a common person. If you want to open a brothel in the future, if the female concubine you invite is not pretty, then Wang is not I will take care of you.”

These words made everyone laugh again.

After a small joke, Qin Yi continued: "Besides, in the future, iron mines will not only be used to manufacture weapons for the government, but the biggest business will still be ordinary steel and ore transactions. There will inevitably be many merchants from other places who will come to iron mines to transport goods When these people come, they also want food, lodging and entertainment. No one of you has discovered this business opportunity before, and these foreign customers have no choice but to go to the county town for consumption. If their consumption needs can be met around the iron mine, they will go far away to the county town ?"

"Magistrate Qin, you are a genius in business!" Wang Heng gave Qin Yi a thumbs up.The rest of the guests also praised it.

Qin Yi waved his hand and said: "This is an idea that Qin came up with after racking his brains. Since the Huangshiya Iron Mine opened under Qin's re-hosting, then Qin must want to make it perfect. Otherwise, Isn’t Qin, the new county magistrate, just a decoration?”

Speaking of this, Qin Yi changed his voice, and said again: "Qin will give you an explanation. In the future, if you start business around the iron mine, the government will exempt all taxes within one year."

As soon as the words fell, a customer slapped his thigh and said: "Sun is planning to open a brothel near the iron mine, don't anyone steal it from me!"

Another customer sneered and said, "Brother Sun, you are not being kind. Trading naturally requires fair competition. How can you prevent others from opening the same business as you?"

"Hey, can you compete with Sun? I have a brothel in Zhangzi County."

Seeing that the venue was about to turn into a quarrel, Qin Yi hurriedly said: "Everyone, let's talk about the business later. Let's discuss first, the establishment of the director of the Huangshiya Iron Mine... Oh, the chamber of commerce."

"Chamber of Commerce? What is this?" The guests were immediately attracted by Qin Yi's topic.

Qin Yidao: "As the saying goes, a family consists of thousands of people, and one person is in charge. Since the iron mine is jointly operated by many companies, there must be someone who is in charge. This chamber of commerce is composed of all iron ore investors. Discuss and vote on important issues of the iron mine, and appoint and remove various posts in the iron mine."

"Magistrate Qin, didn't you say that you will send officials to manage the iron mine?" Wang Heng asked.

Qin Yi explained: "What Qin said is that the personnel sent by the government are only responsible for supervising and coordinating various conflicts. After all, they have no experience in business, so the iron mines still have to be managed by you."

After a while, "Qin means that the chamber of commerce will elect one president, two vice presidents, and the rest of the investors as members. In the future, small matters can be decided by the president or vice president. Big ones Matters must be discussed and voted by all members. In this way, conflicts are also avoided. The specific rules are formulated by you.”

"This is a good idea!" Wang Heng nodded.

The rest of the guests also agreed.

Therefore, everyone discussed the establishment of the chamber of commerce, and finally reached a resolution: Wei Ke will be the chairman and take charge of everything; Wang Heng will be the executive vice president and be responsible for the daily management of the chamber of commerce; The vice president of regulations and disciplines is responsible for supervising the operation of the chamber of commerce.

So far, the agenda of the China Merchants Association has been successfully completed.

But this does not mean that the iron mine will be opened soon. After the meeting, the specific implementation will be followed, which will be more cumbersome.However, Qin Yi handed over all these matters to the newly established chamber of commerce, and he was only in charge of guidance.
