3397 The arrow has left the string (5)
The sunny sky at the end of April of Lisbonto made the blue sky that was already reflected by the sea water appear purer. In the headquarters of the Lisbonto Commercial Alliance in the white marble arch, Bierro, a staff member of the Lisbonto Commercial Alliance, skillfully opened a new chamber of commerce application. As a professional who is responsible for approving the registration of the new chamber of commerce, Bierro has four years of work experience. His eyes were on the name of the chamber of commerce, and he just paused for a moment and swept over, "Sunrise Chamber of commerce..." A very unique name. After several years of approval, he has seen all kinds of strange names. As long as the application conditions are met, the commercial alliance does not restrict the name of the chamber of commerce, unless it is an offense to the imperial decree.
For example, the Chamber of Smuggling Chamber of Commerce, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, the Emperor of the Imperial Emperor is the Pig Chamber of Commerce. These ridiculous names, Viero, have encountered them, and there are quite a lot of them. The greatest impact of the empire on conquering the areas was that the original nobles had to seek other ways of life. Most of the nobles eventually moved to the ranks of merchants. The nobles who had just joined the ranks of merchants naturally would not have much favor for the empire that made them swept their identities. Although they dared not face the imperial swords that killed countless people, they were not without the imperial names to scold the empire by taking the name of the chamber of commerce.
This is also the most terrifying part of the empire. Bierro once saw merchants who needed to scold the empire. In a short time, he changed his position from an anti-imperialist to a hard-core supporter of the empire. To put it bluntly, the empire is powerful and can bring them greater wealth. Their interests are linked to the empire by joining the business alliance. To damage the empire is harming their interests. People are such strange animals. They hated them to death before, and in a blink of an eye, they loved them to death. The identity of the empire merchant is their protection talisman. The more cruel the empire's army is, the more they can make the empire's merchants stand up straight. The more they are, the more they can make the empire's merchants stand up. The more cruel the empire's army's hideous sword.
Just like the financial fluctuations of Lisbonto some time ago, almost destroyed 80% of the iron mine merchants in Lisbonto. If it weren't for the strong and decisiveness of the Lisbonto government, they would have directly mobilized the army to deal with several wealthy merchants who did not abide by the rules, it would have been absolutely impossible for the fluctuation to pass so easily.
"Is there any problem?"
At this moment, standing in front of Viero was a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, with a little white hair on his temples, thin figure, dark skin, and a little nervous. This is normal. Anyone who is about to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce is like this. Viero even saw through experience that such middle-aged man should have been a subordinate of a chamber of commerce, but now he has left the merchant to establish his own business. This kind of person is not uncommon in Lisbon. Although this is an era when everything depends on carriages and feet, the real president of the Chamber of Commerce does not need to run outside. Those who are really busy outside are like the middle-aged man in front of him. People who go out to sea for many years may go back and forth for one or two months, or even half a year, or longer. Under the wind and rain and the waves, after a few years, they are basically like the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Don't be nervous, there are no problems with the materials, the first review is completely qualified!"
Viero said, with a bald head, a smiling face, wearing a silver-gray dress from the business alliance staff, it looked a little funny. "Your declaration conditions are fully qualified, but I still need to explain to you what you must comply with when joining the business alliance, because this is the key to the second review."
Viero picked up the seal next to him, saved it on the red ink paste, then raised his hand to stamp it on the application materials, and handed over a thick stack of manuals of the business alliance along with the documents, saying, "As a member of the business alliance, you must abide by the rules of the business alliance. If the violations exceed three times, you will be warned. If you reach five times, you will be expelled from the business alliance and you will not be able to apply for it within ten years. The second review will only be held on Wednesdays and Fridays every week. The content is a written test for the business alliance manual. If it is above eighty, it is a pity. You can only ask you to come again next week."
"The manual you mentioned is not what you are right in front of you!"
The middle-aged man looked a little surprised, and his eyes swept over the rules and regulations of the business alliance that was nearly half a foot thick in his hand, and took a breath of air conditioning. This is the manual? Whose hand is so big! My God, isn't it just a commercial guild? Why is it more complicated than the annual assessment of the Imperial Navy Captain? He just flipped it around casually and was shocked. It not only had strict requirements on the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, but also had business conditions, the number of personnel recruited, the specifications, quantity, price and tools used. Ensure the quality of the product, and it is strictly forbidden to commit fraud. Once discovered, it will be expelled from the business alliance immediately. For the Imperial merchants, it will be almost empty overnight.
You should know that as the influence of the empire expanded rapidly throughout the world, the idea that merchants were originally a lowly profession was also changing. In this era, manual labor was not a sign of lowly, it was highly respected by society, especially technological inventions. This honor was won by providing honest labor to the society. For example, "the things made by nitrose cobblers, coopers and shoemakers must be 'just'; the wood, leather and thread used by craftsmen must be 'real'; the toasted bread must be 'just' Once "technical shortcomings and adulteration" occur, it will "destroy the public's credibility."
But what makes middle-aged people feel even more unbelievable is that as a chief guild, the place where wealthy merchants gather, it advocates equality among merchants. Whether it is small merchants, workshop owners, big merchants, or wealthy merchants, they all admit that they are equal and united "for a common cause." If there is a dispute, they must be handed over to the referee of the commercial alliance to handle it. They understand each other and abandon old grievances. Although there will inevitably be quarrels between chambers of commerce, this kind of quarrels cannot evolve into hatred. They must "forget the possible hatred, and swear with bread and salt, and never view this hatred in a wrong spirit. The fines and half of the money will be distributed to the poor in the empire. Except for the special management of the thirteenth deacon, other deacons have no right to intervene.
Moreover, the chamber of commerce in the same city, "has to gather once a year to discuss the salary of employees. If it were not for the clearly written in the document with my own eyes, the middle-aged man could not believe that the businessman who had never recognized much in his heart actually had such rules and responsibilities.
He did run around the sea all year round, but Bierro did not expect that the person who ran around the sea was not necessarily a merchant, but also an officer of the Imperial Navy. The middle-aged man in front of him was an officer of the former Imperial Navy, and he was also an admiral of a dragon-tooth warship. Yu Feishan was injured in the final decisive battle and retired from the Imperial Navy. Due to the conflict between the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army, it was difficult for the Imperial Navy officer to enter the army system after retirement. Naval Minister Dustramka approached Tilnarant, and finally the former Imperial Navy officer was transferred to the Lisbonto Government Government. He had just recovered and reported to the Lisbonto Government Government Government Government, and received the task assigned by Tilnarant himself.
I thought everything would be fine after submitting the review materials, but I didn’t expect there would be a so-called written test!
This was all done by Fatty at the time. The purpose was to make every chamber of commerce that joined the commercial alliance easy to manage. However, the scale of the commercial alliance was only the southern part of the Wikia region, but now after ten years of development, the commercial alliance has long been different from the past. From a commercial organization that was originally just a small region, it has transformed into a giant across three continents. At that time, the total number of chambers of commerce in the commercial alliance was only 79, and the total number of registered chambers of commerce in the commercial alliance has exceeded 400,000, and this number is still increasing every year.
Therefore, it was really just a small manual that was slapping at the beginning, but now it has become a thick stack of more than half a foot high. If the fat man saw these, he would probably faint! After all, he was not a god. The small thing he made on a whim was just a work manual, but it had developed to this level now.
When Sokutus Delan was the Thirteenth Deacon, she had proposed modifications to this issue, but unexpectedly she was collectively opposed by the other twelve deacons. Even when facing the brutal Thirteen Deacons, she still stood up at the same time.
"As the leading super commercial organization in the entire continent, the Commercial Alliance should look like the number one in the mainland. You can't join any cat or dog at will!"
"The commercial alliance can develop to this day because of these rules and regulations. If even the rules and regulations are not strict, once a person does it arbitrarily, it will be the efforts and efforts of everyone!" A deacon with a good relationship with Sokutus Delan gritted his teeth and stood up from his seat, explaining in a voice, "Miss Delan is not opposed to Miss Delan, please do not misunderstand this point. It is really the rules of the commercial alliance that must be followed. After all, as a business guild, the purpose is to protect the interests of the industry and help each other an organization. The easiest problem is that one or two internal chambers of commerce will cause damage to the entire guild."
"Yes, the chamber of commerce that joined the alliance is mixed with dragons and snakes, both big and small, and the prices and quality of the same goods are completely different. The essence of a merchant is to pursue the best interests. Using inferior products as good things is regarded as a common method, and wantonly lowering prices to impact opponents. It is even more a whim. Once a chamber of commerce has such a problem, what will shake the credibility of the entire business alliance. If there is a few more times, who will believe in the business alliance? Because of one person, this kind of person will definitely not tolerate it!" Another deacon groaned with a gray face.
In the end, under the collective opposition of all the deacons, this rule was retained, and it was revised every year according to the new situation. The Empire's business alliance has developed to a considerable extent, like an autonomous object. If you want to intervene forcibly, the damage caused is much greater than the construction. This is another reason why the fat man chose to establish another Imperial Bank.
This is why, Sokutusdelan is just a notice that seems to have no execution ability. A charge of trade fraud makes six strengths sufficient to control Zhongbiya Gold Trading. This kind of large chamber of commerce with tens of millions of funds collapsed in the morning, and everyone dislikes it.
The name of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce appeared on Wednesday afternoon on a notice that was used to hang a name tag in front of the Commercial Alliance Hall. The announcement was held with the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, and the names of the newly joined eleven chambers of commerce were also attended by people. The names on the notice were only occasionally seen by someone. Every week, new chambers of commerce joined. Who would pay attention to these at all times?
At this moment, six figures from the headquarters of the Blue Chamber of Commerce were circulating a document signed by the Lisbon Trust Government in their hands with a nervous look.
"Everyone, Lisbon's government promised to provide care is in front of us. It is better to bet once! It's much better than just waiting for death!" The president of the Blue Chamber of Commerce looked at the heads of several other chambers of commerce with a slightly gloomy look. The loud voice shaking the windows sounded mercilessly. "Two months, although it's a little shorter, according to the financial resources of our six chambers of commerce, I believe that at least 70% of the Yelu family's domestic industries can be won. We have spent so much effort and risking our troops, and finally forced Berrant Bonnie, who is not a Northern Army, to promise not to sign any Sino-Bia trade permit within two months. Isn't it just for this moment?
"In Zhongbiya, the Yelu family has announced the decision to open up trade in a comprehensive manner. The central and northern regions of Central and Northern Grassland controlled by the northern grassland people led by the Yelu family are originally the most abundant area in Central and Biya. Although we have obtained a lot in the past, they are definitely not as thorough as this time. A completely open Yelu family, not to mention, since the Yelu Qi Night Light destroyed the Northern King Court in the Battle of the Grassland, the Yelu family has become a new royal court status. This time, with the Yelu family, there is also the trade route to the North Grassland and Dongqi! Since the cold winter last year, the cold land people have also contacted us several times. If this trade route can be opened, you can imagine that the silk of Zhongbiya, the horses of the grassland people, and the most excellent animal skins of the cold land people will not be charged for two years... "
"Enough, I, Lancia Chamber of Commerce, have a bet on this, I will try my best to get the funds of the five million imperial gold! "A short and strong Chamber of Commerce president made up his mind, shouted violently, closed the documents in his hand, Lisbon's strength in government affairs, the first princess of the empire was praised by the countless wealth in Zhongbia, and finally made the six Chambers of Commerce make the final decision
