Volu 2 Chapter 187 Business Union that survived in na only
“Chairman Xu, you….really are too impulsive.” Chairman Rank looked at Xu Yi and said this with a soft sigh.
After eting the new City Lord Count Stagg, Count Stagg said that he didn’t need any rchants to accompany him. So the Banta City rchants had all scattered and then gathered at chairman Rank’s private hotel.
At this temporary conference of the Business Union, Xu Yi once again beca the center of attention.
Although many people admired Xu Yi secretly, thinking that he had refuted Count Stagg to the face because of how he treated rchants, most people thought that Xu Yi was too impulsive and he didn’t consider the consequences.
Count Stagg was the new City Lord, Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce were in Banta City, so they would be in his jurisdiction.
Now that Xu Yi had gone against Count Stagg so openly, it would be strange if Count Stagg didn’t cause trouble for him and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce.
“Why are your expressions so serious today?” Compared to everyone else, Xu Yi had a relaxed expression, “The one who refuted Count Stagg to his face was and not you, Count Stagg will definitely co looking for to cause trouble, he definitely won’t go looking for you.”
The others looked at each other before revealing bitter smiles.
Chairman Vincent gave a sigh before shaking his head and saying, “Chairman Xu, what everyone is worried about isn’t him causing trouble for one person, rather it is the attitude that the new Lord City Lord had.”
“That’s right.” Chairman Cruise also gave a sigh, “This new Lord City Lord doesn’t like us rchants, so I suspect it’ll be hard to do business in Banta City in the future.”
“This….shouldn’t be that serious, right?”
Through the public transport system that was a core part of Banta City, the Fersen Carriage Company had also joined the Banta City Business Union. This ti chairman Pompeii was taking part as a non-voting delegate. Seeing his peers sigh around him, he couldn’t help speaking up for the first ti.
“Now that Banta City’s developed much faster and last year’s tax inco is around ten tis more than usual, not being modest, it is all because of us rchants. We pay for most of the tax revenue and with how much Count Stagg looks down on rchants, once he received this information, wouldn’t he try to do sothing to us?”
“Humph, he won’t do anything?” Chairman Cruise said with a snort, “Didn’t you see what happened today? If we’re talking about contributions to Banta City’s developnt, who would be able to say that they could compare to chairman Xu and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce? He was clearly deliberately looking for trouble with Xu Yi! Of course, speaking of this, Xu Yi, you really were too impulsive. Even if Count Stagg causes trouble for you, you shouldn’t oppose him that strongly, right?”
Xu Yi gave a shrug, “Since I know he is causing trouble for , what aning is there in avoiding it? He is the new Banta City’s City Lord, how could I avoid it if he wanted to cause trouble for ?”
“But there’s no need to offend him, right?” Chairman Cruise said with knit brows.
“You think that…..a great person like Count Stagg would be insulted by a few trivial words from ? His attitude towards was already set before he ca here, it can’t be changed.”
Chairman Cruise fell silent.
It was because everyone knew that the Frestech Chamber of Comrce and Xu Yi was on the sa side as her highness Seveni. The Stagg Family had already announced their support for his highness Eric to beco the next king.
Count Stagg causing trouble for Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce wasn’t just because of a few words. Rather it was already decided before he beca Banta City’s City Lord.
The conference hall fell into a strange silence. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
After a while, a thin looking rchant with sharp eyes said, “Actually I feel that…..even if Count Stagg is aiming at chairman Xu, it doesn’t an he will aim at all of us Banta City rchants. So I think…..I think…..that if the Frestech Chamber of Comrce withdraws from our Business Union, wouldn’t it be better for everyone?”
Everyone’s gaze fell onto the thin rchant. Their eyes were filled with shock, doubt, confusion, and a trace of excitent.
“Chairman Lawrence! What do you an?” Without waiting for Xu Yi to speak, chairman Cruise slapped the table. He pointed at the thin rchant and angrily said, “At this ti, you actually want to make the Frestech Chamber of Comrce withdraw from our Business Union? Don’t you have a bit of conscience at all? Did you forget? Your company almost went bankrupt and it was because Xu Yi didn’t charge you a single cent for the Magic Kettle technology, renting the magic production machines to you for free, and sending technical staff to help you that your company could co back to life. What is the aning of your words now? You truly are ungrateful!”
Chairman Lawrence’s face turned red in sha and he lowered his head as he refuted in a soft voice, “I…..We miss paying him back a single copper coin afterwards…..”
Chairman Cruise was even angrier as he slapped the table again and cursed out, “You think that Xu Yi didn’t help you because you paid him back? If it wasn’t for Xu Yi helping you, you might have jumped into the Sandy River and killed yourself! What qualification would you have to sit here now and say these kinds of words?”
Chairman Lawrence was probably angered by chairman Cruise’s straightforward words, so he suddenly raised his head and said with a red face, “That’s right! Chairman Cruise did help us before, but I am thinking from the viewpoint of all the small rchants in Banta City! We are just small and weak rchants, how could we resist the Lord City Lord? Now that the Lord City Lord has set his eyes on chairman Xu, we can’t just use ourselves to block him, right?”
“Nonsense! You’re clearly soone who has no gratitude, but you dare act this righteously, it really is disgusting!” Chairman Cruise spat onto the ground and prepared to curse at him more, but Xu Yi reached out a hand to stop him.
“Alright, chairman cruise, let’s stop. Although I am very disappointed with chairman Lawrence, his proposition is quite good. I have already accepted being targeted by Count Stagg’s rage, but I don’t want to implicate my peers. So I’ve decided…..” Xu Yi turned to chairman Rank, “President Rank, from this day forth, our Frestech Chamber of Comrce is withdrawing from the Business Union.”
The hall was silent for a second before it suddenly exploded.
“Chairman Xu, are you joking?”
“You’re actually leaving the Business Union? Is this a mistake?”
“Your Frestech Chamber of Comrce is one of the biggest companies in our Banta City, how could it just leave the Business Union?”
“That’s right. If even your Frestech Chamber of Comrce withdraws, what aning will there be in this Business Union?”
“You can’t really withdraw right? I think that chairman Lawrence is just blind with worry.”
“That’s right, you don’t need to…..”
…..
Everyone chattered for a bit, but Xu Yi just listened with a smile without saying a word.
After a while, people just naturally stopped.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi’s face, everyone understood that Xu Yi had already made his decision and there was no changing it.
Chairman Rank shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Chairman Cruise, why do you always do things so intensely?”
Xu Yi replied with a smile, “Because ti waits for no man. I don’t have ti to use a gentle thod to achieve my goals.”
Chairman Rank gave a deep sigh, “I can see that. The ideal in your heart is much bigger than my imagination. Alright, since you’ve made your decision, I have nothing to say. As the Business Union’s president, I authorize your Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s application to withdraw from the Business Union.”
“Alright, many thanks for president Rank’s understanding.” Xu Yi gave a nod before saying to the others, “I pledge to everyone as the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s chairman, although our Frestech Chamber of Comrce is withdrawing from the Business Union, we will still be everyone’s best partners. Withdrawing from the Business Union will not affect our cooperation. Of course, that depends on if you have the courage to cooperate with our Frestech Chamber of Comrce, ha, ha…..”
Xu Yi’s joke was too cold, no one could reveal a smile.
The others just looked at Xu Yi. So wanted to say sothing, but they found that there was no aning at all, so the conference hall fell into silence.
After a while, chairman Cruise suddenly slapped the table and said to chairman Rank, “Since it’s like this, that’s fine. Our Amrit Chamber of Comrce also wishes to withdraw from the Business Union. President Rank, please approve this.”
The others looked at chairman Cruise in shock.
Xu Yi was soone in his twenties, so it was understandable that he was young and impulsive. But Cruise was a fifty year old middle aged man, how could you be as impulsive as Xu Yi?
However, this astonishnt was just beginning. After chairman Cruise, there were over ten different chairman that also applied to withdraw from the Business Union.
To qualify for joining the Business Union, naturally that company had so status in Banta City. Although the company of those ten people couldn’t compare to chairman Cruise’s Amrit Chamber of Comrce, they weren’t small companies.
Now that they had withdrawn from the Business Union, half of the companies at this conference had chosen to withdraw.
Chairman Rank revealed a bitter smile as he looked at Xu Yi and said, “Chairman Xu, the Banta City Business Union has been ford for close to a hundred years. I never thought that it would only survive in na once you withdrew today. I really don’t know whether to be angry with you or to admire you.”
Xu Yi gave a laugh before saying with a sigh, “President Rank, you should be clear that this isn’t my aning, rather it’s everyone’s choice. I can only say that…..the tis are changing.”
Chairman Rank looked at the chairn who had chosen to withdraw before finally looking at Xu Yi. He said with a slow nod, “That’s right, the tis are changing…..”
