Chapter 52 Structure of the Chamber of Commerce

The West Wind Kingdom has always had a tradition of focusing on family, and it is common to talk about things at the dinner table, and Vergar was once part of the West Wind, and this custom has also been affected.

Loren Hill first sat down at the table, and then the branch presidents from other places took their seats in order. Other important personnel were the fleet leader of Carites, the store manager, the workshop manager, etc. These people Together they form the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the dining table, Roland Hill ate the bread in small mouthfuls, watched each member of the Chamber of Commerce introduce himself, occasionally nodded slightly, and gradually constructed the structure and composition of the Chamber of Commerce in his mind.

If she is the brain that commands everything in the Chamber of Commerce, then the Chamber of Commerce is divided into several parts.

The first is the local branch presidents. The branch is mainly responsible for the sales and acquisition of local stores, as well as some crop farms, along with some other chores and a small amount of guards.

The second is the management of the large workshop, which mainly processes the purchased raw materials, such as textiles, oil extraction, shipbuilding, etc. Among them, shipbuilding is an important industry of Karites.

The third is the leader of the fleet. At present, there are three large fleets of the Chamber of Commerce, mainly for trade between the South China Sea Islands and the Green Empire. There are 16 other scattered small fleets. The ships are also equipped with artillery, which has a certain combat effectiveness.

The fourth is the team manager, who is mainly responsible for purchasing and transporting goods to some raw material origins on land, and has its own armed guards.

Since many of them were new faces, even after Lorraine Hill finished eating, there were still a lot of people who had not been introduced. Chelsea asked the maids to clean up the tableware, then put on new tablecloths and served refreshments.

As a seaport city, Hopelander is not too hot even in summer. However, considering the large number of people in the hall, the housekeeper Seres arranged for the maids to move 20 ice mirrors and place them in the corner of the hall, and the temperature gradually dropped. down.

Finally, after the cadres of the chamber of commerce finished introducing him, Roland Hill also briefly introduced himself.

.....

"Because of my father's sudden death, I will take over the Chamber of Commerce in the future."

Her eyes slowly swept across the audience, some of them didn't seem to care, some looked at her suspiciously, some hesitated, some bowed their heads Others seem to be more interested in her looks. ‘

It's not surprising that Lorraine Hill, after all, is very sudden, and it is not acceptable to change anyone immediately. In addition, she is too young, and it is normal for some people to distrust and worry. After a little pause, she motioned for Chelsea to take it out. The suicide note, of course the one that was made public on the surface, stated that Angus had transferred all his property to his offspring, Lacey.

The suicide note was carefully held in Chelsea's hands, and was shown to the members present. And Roland Hill sat in the seat, quietly observed the expressions of these members, and then kept taking notes.

After passing around, most of the chamber of commerce cadres present recognized the leadership after Loren Hill. Although the Karites chamber of commerce was created by Angus, he only had 60% of the shares before his death, and the rest 40% of the shares are scattered among these chamber of commerce cadres. On the one hand, it motivates and on the other hand, it firmly retains some talented people.

"Is there any other major event in the Chamber of Commerce recently?" Roland Hill asked, wanting to briefly understand the current situation.

"Hello, Miss. Due to the sudden death of Lord Angus, many other chambers of commerce are afraid that we will disintegrate, and they have recently begun to urge the settlement of accounts."

"How often did the accounts settle before?" Roland Hill asked.

"Usually, large chambers of commerce clean up their accounts once a year, and small chambers of commerce have half a year. At present, the chambers of commerce have limited liquidity and cannot pay in full."

"Let the small chamber of commerce sort out the accounts by themselves, and then settle the accounts with us in order. Explain in advance that if any false reports and false reports are found, they will wait until next year, so that they can settle the accounts slowly, and we will come one by one. In this way, they can be pulled out. Time difference to buffer, and also to give them peace of mind."

"In the case of a large chamber of commerce, they have a relatively strong ability to withstand pressure. It is not short of time. As usual, it will be closed every year. If you still need to settle accounts in the near future, report it to me, and I will visit in person."

"Next, keep talking."

"Due to the recent civil strife in Xifeng, many raw materials usually purchased in Xifeng have been affected a lot." A team leader said with some distress.

"Which are very important and need to be acquired in Westwind?"

"It's mainly wood, fruit, and cotton. Others are not large and can also be supplemented in other places."

"Related to these raw materials, don't take any more orders recently. How many raw materials are still missing from the existing orders?" asked Roland Hill.

"Going back to the eldest lady, the shipyard still has a little bit of wood in reserve. In addition, a few ships that were originally prepared for us will be delivered, which will probably be barely completed."

"Okay, let the fleet go to the Green Empire to replenish it. There is also a lot of wood production there, but it is usually not cost-effective to transport too far."

"In terms of cotton... are there a lot of spinning orders in the workshop lately?"

"Yes, Miss, Xifeng is urgently recruiting troops recently, and many nobles over there have ordered burqas and uniforms from us."

"Stop taking orders. The big nobles' orders are not in a hurry, and a small amount of orders will be completed first." Roland Hill suspected that these west wind nobles could not wait for the time to receive the goods.

"As for fruit, let the fleet go to the South China Sea Islands to purchase."

Roland Hill handled various problems quickly, his wrists were orderly, and he was able to grasp the key to the problem at once, which was surprising.

"Okay, next one, any questions?"

"Hello, Miss, now the west wind is in civil strife,

Many chambers of commerce have started to store food, do we want to store some as well? "

"No, it's the same as usual. Besides, we don't have a lot of money in running water now." Loren Hill held the teacup and shook his head.

Although it is foreseeable that the price of food will rise, the most important thing is to spend it smoothly now. It is not clear whether the Tisifone family will take the next step. They are professional warmongers.

Then Roland Hill handled some problems flexibly, and finally ended the meeting slowly towards the middle of the night.

After the meeting, all the members of the Chamber of Commerce slowly left the venue, while Roland Hill was alone at the table, rubbing his head with his fingers.

"It's hard work, Miss." Chelsea handed over a white towel from the side, asked Loren Hill to wipe her hands, and then asked the maids present to clean up the messy tabletop.

"Um... I feel like there are a lot of things, was it like this before?"

"Not so much. It is estimated that the sudden departure of Lord Angus made everyone a little uneasy. I want to get a reassuring and affirmative answer from you."

"The eldest lady has performed very well. She doesn't look like she is sixteen or seventeen years old at all."

"I'm not that good anymore." Roland Hill stood up from the chair, moved a little, and denied with a smile.

"Really, but I see the reassurance and admiration of those stewards before they leave, but they are not as humble as you said."
