BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124 - 124: Gathering
2.00 PM.
A considerable number of business CEOs had already arrived at the Luo Corporation’s conference room.
They looked at each other. No one was the first to speak.
After all, they already knew why Luo Chen had called them over.
The concept of a Chamber of Commerce had been proposed a few years ago.
However, looking at the peers around them who were still at odds with each other on business occasions yesterday, they couldn’t think of how they would cooperate.
“Uh… long time no see.”
A CEO of a construction company finally greeted the people around him awkwardly.
The few of them had fought very hard at the auction previously. Later on, they did not contact each other at all.
But today, they sat together strangely. That feeling was indeed very subtle.
“Mn, I didn’t expect you to really come.”
That person also smiled awkwardly.
He was clearly used to being glib-tongued, but under such circumstances, every word he said really required a lot of courage.
“Looks like everyone is very interested in today’s matter.”
When Luo Chen pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, it was as if he did not notice the awkward atmosphere at all.
All the CEOs looked at Luo Chen.
Among them, there were many who were seeing him for the first time today. When they saw that this initiator was clearly too young, disdain appeared in their eyes.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have come.”
A potbellied middle-aged man snorted coldly.
Before Luo Chen could sit down, he stood up.
“I still have a lot of things to do in the company. I don’t have time to play house with children, so I won’t participate in your meeting.”
That person’s name was Chen Wei, and he was considered one of the top existences in Jiang City.
The industrial chain under him was very big, especially the famous nightclub street here. It was all supported by him.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his hands could cover the sky here.
Luo Chen glanced at Chen Wei.
If he remembered correctly, there was a villain big boss in the original plot whose name had never appeared. It was very compatible with this Chen Wei.
In the later stages, that big boss could be said to have stirred up the entire Jiang City, causing Ye Bei to suffer a lot, both openly and secretly.
The few major turning points were all implicated by this big boss.
They were both villains, so Luo Chen couldn’t help but look at Chen Wei.
It seemed that this person was not easy to get along with. Moreover, he had already made up his mind and had no intention of cooperating.
However, if he wanted the Chamber of Commerce to be established, he needed Chen Wei.
If he didn’t agree, Luo Chen would basically have a hard time advancing in the entire Jiang City.
“Why do villains have to make things difficult for other villains?”
Luo Chen muttered softly.
However, only he could hear this.
“Mr. Chen, wait a moment.”
Helpless, it was impossible for Luo Chen to watch him leave. Otherwise, it would be basically impossible to find him again.
“What for? Don’t mention this bullsh*t Chamber of Commerce to me. You haven’t even grown your hair out yet, right? You still want to come out and do some big business? Go back and train for a few more years first.”
Chen Wei swept his gaze over, and his natural dignity immediately made everyone not even dare to breathe loudly.
Many people present also had a cooperative relationship with Chen Wei. If they were asked to choose between Luo Chen and Chen Wei, there was no doubt that everyone would choose to follow Chen Wei.
“It hasn’t been easy to do any business recently. I heard that there are still people from the capital who want to snatch the market of Jiang City. If everyone doesn’t join forces under such circumstances, we will only be slowly eaten up.”
Luo Chen stood up and said especially sincerely.
“So what? They’re a group of outsiders. Even if they’re from the capital, when they really arrive in Jiang City, they’ll have to lie low. Could it be that we will let them overturn the sky?”
Chen Wei’s expression darkened slightly, and his tone became even more stern.
Actually, this was not a baseless remark.
The original plot had already described it. Originally, Luo Chen also wanted to establish a Chamber of Commerce to resist the investors from other cities, but unfortunately, the families from the capital were too powerful.
They spent money without caring about profits and losses and even suppressed all kinds of industries.
After that, probably because they saw that Jiang City could bring in a lot of profits, the other families in the capital also began to join in to seize the market.
In the end, the businesses in Jiang City were almost squeezed to the point where there was no room for survival.
That was why Luo Chen was so anxious to start advancing the construction of the Chamber of Commerce after receiving the mission.
Otherwise, when the people from the capital really came and they had no way to deal with them, they would probably repeat the same mistake.
The mission given by the system didn’t seem to have a time limit, but it had already become a heavy shackle.
“You can’t say that. All of us want our company to become stronger, but the market is only so big. If outsiders occupy a portion of the market, no matter how much, it will be an unbearable loss for our companies in Jiang City.”
Luo Chen adjusted his mentality and made himself look calmer.
After all, this would make him seem more credible.
“Haha.”
Chen Wei was not interested in discussing such a profound question with a brat. He only smiled coldly and couldn’t be bothered to speak.
“Actually, I think President Luo’s words make sense. I’ve also heard that a few small companies have risen recently. They might have the help of other large families.”
A CEO who was also in an investment company said worriedly.
They were more well-informed.
When he first found out that the families in the capital might want to interfere with the Jiang City market, he panicked for a while.
However, there was no follow-up, so they temporarily put this matter aside.
Now that Luo Chen mentioned it, the CEO immediately recalled the information he had forgotten.
“I think so too. Actually, establishing a Chamber of Commerce is not bad. Everyone’s interests can be guaranteed.”
“That’s right. If that’s really the case, why can’t we take the initiative to attack? Must we wait here passively for others to come and snatch our market?”
“In any case, we’re already here. There’s no harm in hearing President Luo’s arrangements.”
Some of the company’s CEOs discussed softly and even secretly looked in Chen Wei’s direction.
“Alright, then I’ll listen to what you can say. Let me tell you, my time is very precious.”
Chen Wei’s expression changed. In the end, he sat down again with a disdainful expression.
However, his body was facing the door, and his posture of leaving without a word was especially obvious.
Luo Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Through the original plot, he had some understanding of Chen Wei’s personality.
He had a bad temper, was sinister, and only cared about profit.
Since he was here for benefits, if he was given enough benefits, he could temporarily obtain a strong helper..
