I really can't control myself

The people around President Cossack looked in the direction Cossack pointed at the only woman in the entire reception room.

The woman they were looking at was a woman who didn't look very old, and looked at most in her twenties. Compared with the other people in the room, she was not only young, but even a little young.

This woman looked quite iconic, bright and beautiful, of course this word is obviously not a good word to use for a person in a leadership position. After all, everyone's first reaction when seeing this woman was that this woman obviously didn't look like a president.

"Is that the daughter of Fidelman? She's really young." Another president next to Cossack said. Obviously, they all knew Fidelman, the president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, but many people saw his daughter for the first time.

"The cake of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce is very big, but whoever eats it will make others uncomfortable. It's better to take advantage of this time and let the ZHENG Mansion eat it directly." Cossack said.

Cossack said this of course with selfish motives, or personal grudges. He had a grudge against the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce and the woman's father.

Although Fidelman is dead now, Cossack hasn't even breathed a sigh of relief. Coxsackie just wanted to watch the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, which was established by the other party, being devoured alive, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

"I see, this is a good choice." Thomas next to him directly agreed. Originally, their chamber of commerce could not eat up the resources of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, and they could not get much. Then he must support Coxsackie in this matter, and it is not him who will die.

"Indeed, this is the best choice. Anyway, the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce itself cannot support it for too long..." There are other people next to him who agree.

Of course, agreeing is agreeing, in fact, whether these people support Coxsackie or not is not determined by a few words. Now we know why they are here today. Everyone here is the president, and everyone has his own calculations.

"The Prime Minister is here." Suddenly a notification sounded. Several businessmen who were discussing quickly kept silent, and then those who were sitting there stood up.

At this time, it was obviously a long time since they were gathered here, and even those who came early had their tea cold.

But no one dared to raise any opinions. Just wait, that's the difference in status.

Soon Terrad came in from the side. At this time, Terrad walked like a dragon and a tiger, as if he was in a hurry.

In fact, Terrad was really busy. The issue of the empire's reform had not been determined yet, and he had to spend time meeting these chamber of commerce presidents. In Terrad's view, the empire's reform was the most important thing now. As for the Royal Chamber of Commerce, there was still money in the treasury. Although this was also a matter, it was obviously not so urgent.

Linton agreed to the division. He had been discussing with other ministers on how to divide it specifically since yesterday. He had been busy until now and had hardly rested. In other words, in order to make him work well, Linton helped him transform his body, otherwise Terrad really couldn't bear this work at his age.

"Sit down." Terrad walked to the upper seat and sat down, then casually gestured for these presidents to sit down. The tone was obviously disrespectful, and he really didn't take these presidents too seriously.

If Linton hadn't personally ordered him to do this, he really didn't have time to meet these guild leaders.

All the guild leaders sat down, and then they didn't dare to move at all. Before Terrad came, they could still sit there leisurely and drink tea and chat, but when Terrad arrived, they sat there like children in class, not daring to move.

Terrad's momentum alone scared them so much that they didn't dare to move, and they raised their necks like prisoners ready to listen to the verdict.

"I called you here today to discuss something with you." Terrad was not polite and went straight to the point. Although he said it was a discussion, there was no tone of discussion.

"Yesterday, His Majesty asked me to do something and wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, a royal chamber of commerce." Terrad said it quite calmly, but this word set off a huge wave in the hearts of everyone below.

Royal Chamber of Commerce? They didn't expect it to be like this.

Was there a royal chamber of commerce before? Of course there was, but it was never in the open.

The status of the merchants in the empire was very low. The emperors before knew one thing, that is, if the royal family established a chamber of commerce, it would be equivalent to raising the status of other merchants in disguise.

You see, the royal family has a chamber of commerce. If you look down on merchants, doesn’t that mean you also look down on the royal family? Doesn’t this raise the status of merchants?

And the royal family doesn’t really need to do these things. They just wait to cut the leeks. If they are short of money, they can find a few merchants to discuss donating money or donating their lives. Isn’t this more convenient than setting up a chamber of commerce?

But don’t the royal family do business privately? Of course it’s impossible. Everyone knows that cutting leeks is a matter of cutting leeks, but it’s not open. You can’t let the leeks know when they are cut, otherwise what if they don’t grow anymore, or what if they grow legs and run away.

Before this, the main function of the royal chamber of commerce was not really to make money, but to be an information organization like the Jinyiwei, and it was an information organization that specialized in business. They hid in large and small chambers of commerce, and they didn’t know which chamber of commerce it was. They also did business, but they mainly collected information through the chamber of commerce.

However, this time Terrad inexplicably brought this matter to light. What was the purpose? The people who heard the news didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and they were in a state of confusion.

You said that the royal family set up a chamber of commerce to improve their status, or to cut leeks in a different way.

"It's like this. The newly established royal chamber of commerce needs a president to preside over it." Terrad ignored the reactions of the crowd and continued, "In terms of work, simply put, it is to help the ZHENG government make money. You are all leaders in this industry, so this time I asked you to come here to ask who is willing to serve as the president?"

"Excuse me, Prime Minister, does His Majesty want us to help him make money, right?" A president asked in a low voice, fearing that his voice would scare people.

"In short, that's it." Terrad didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

The people below had some idea in their hearts. After all, many people had received news that Linton had robbed a large sum of money in the war and now it was piled up in the treasury, and they probably understood why Terrad would find them.

"Then... how big a business do you plan to do, Your Majesty?" asked another guild leader, which actually meant to ask how much capital you are willing to invest.

"It depends on how much you can invest." Terrad said directly.

"What... do you mean?" Terrad's words made everyone pale.
