Chapter 376: Chapter 378: The Major Chambers of Commerce

The person quickly led Qin Hao into the banquet hall.

Inside, several bigwigs from Shuinan Province were chatting, including Zhu Huasheng.

“Mr. Zhu, Mr. Qin has arrived,” the person said to Zhu Huasheng.

Zhu Huasheng turned his head to look, smiled, and said, “Mr. Qin, we meet again.”

The people around, upon hearing his words, became curious. Did Zhu Huasheng know Qin Hao before?

Qin Hao reached out and shook his hand: “Mr. Zhu, you still look as impressive as ever.”

“Compared to you young fellows, I’m already old,” Zhu Huasheng said with a sigh and a smile.

Then he turned to the people present and said, “Everyone, please, quiet down.”

There were roughly a hundred people in the banquet hall. Hearing Zhu Huasheng’s voice, all of them fell silent and turned to look.

Zhu Huasheng spoke up, “This is Mr. Qin Hao from Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company and Xinghui Wine Company.

He’s from Jiangshan in Shuinan Province. Today is the monthly business gathering, and I took this opportunity to invite Mr. Qin to come and join our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce.”

There was a round of applause from the crowd. They had already heard about Qin Hao’s great reputation. If he joined the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, it would greatly enhance the strength of the chamber.

Many companies would also have the chance to find Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company.

Zhu Huasheng turned to Qin Hao and said, “Mr. Qin, on behalf of the entire chamber, I invite you to join the Jianghai City Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, would you be willing?”

He was the founder of the Jianghai City Shuinan Chamber of Commerce and also the chairman.

He initially created this chamber to resist the pressure brought by other chambers of commerce and to integrate resources for mutual benefit and joint development.

There are currently over one hundred and sixty members in the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, all from Shuinan Province.

Some have branch companies here, some started directly here, and they have assets ranging from several million to several billion.

Shenglong Group is the largest corporate group within the chamber, and Zhu Huasheng is also one of the older generation.

Not only in Jianghai City does he have great prestige, but also in Shuinan Province he is one of the bigwigs.

Qin Hao smiled and replied, “Of course I’m willing. I’ve always been unaware of such an organization. Had I known, I would have joined much earlier.”

A person next to him said with a smile, “Mr. Qin, please do take care of us fellow townspeople in the future.”

It’s not easy for outsiders to do business in Jianghai City, as they often face suppression from Sea Merchant, Zhe Business, and Su Business.

Sometimes it’s very hard even to secure a project or a contract.

For instance, if there is a project within the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce, they would first consider companies within their chamber.

Only if there were no suitable companies within their chamber would they think of companies from other chambers.

Therefore, having a strong chamber of commerce is very important.

The position of Shuinan Chamber of Commerce in Jianghai is not high; it could be said to be surviving in the cracks.

If your company shows signs of development, it would face suppression.

This is not without precedent; the person who was just speaking with Qin Hao was named Su Mingzhi. He is the vice president of the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce.

His Huamei Cosmetics Company has faced comprehensive suppression from the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce.@@novelbin@@

…

Zhu Huasheng introduced, “This is Mr. Su Mingzhi, the owner of Huamei Cosmetics Company, and the vice president of the chamber.”

Qin Hao said with a smile, “Mr. Su is too kind. It should be about helping each other, mutual benefit, and mutual win.”

Next to Su Mingzhi, there was a young girl who looked a bit like Su Mingzhi, probably his daughter.

Mr. Su Mingzhi: “Mr. Qin is too modest. Jiangshan Roasted Duck is like a behemoth in the Jianghai cooked food industry.”

After exchanging a few words, Mr. Zhu Huasheng led Qin Hao around, mainly to introduce him to the people present.

He introduced companies whose assets were generally worth hundreds of millions.

Once the introductions were finished, he attended to other guests, leaving Qin Hao to socialize with these people on his own.

Qin Hao didn’t need to seek people out because many took the initiative to come over, greet him, and exchange business cards.

He was now a household name in Jianghai, and even nationally, he was quite famous, comparable to the current top celebrities.

Leng Xuan and another person stood at the entrance, their gazes lingering on Qin Hao and the people around him.

Having dealt with two people, Qin Hao walked to the round table intending to pour himself some more.

On the table was an assortment of wines: Gui Mao Wine from Nangui Province, Five Grains Wine from Nanyan Province, Jianbeichun, Nanlang Wine, Old Cellar Wine, and Beifen Wine from Beijin Province were all present.

These were giants in Xuan Country’s white spirit industry, especially Gui Mao Wine, which had a terrifying market value of over a trillion.

Beyond these, there were also expensive wines from major international brands.

Qin Hao also spotted Qingke Wine from Tianyude Winery.

This brand from Beiqing Province was an ancient one and a famous product of the Northwest Region.

Made from highland barley and following ancient brewing techniques, its unique blend of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors had attracted many.

Many people felt that drinking this wine was like savoring life itself.

All these represented the future competition for Xinghui Wine, and Qin Hao had briefly acquainted himself with them.

Compared to these titans of white spirits, Xinghui Wine still seemed rather green.

He poured himself some Gui Mao Wine, but no sooner had he finished than someone approached him for a conversation.

Just then, the banquet hall’s doors were pushed open from outside, and people from the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce entered.

Leading them was the head of Huaqing Group, Tang Group, and Ruixing Clothing Trading Group.

Following them were a large number of Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce members, easily four or five hundred, and this was just a portion of them.

The Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce was the largest in Jianghai City, with members numbering in the thousands.

Within the chamber, there were many factions, and these people were of the faction aligned with Huaqing Group and Tang Group.

Many among them had come to watch the developments.

Seeing this, the members of the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce were taken aback. What was the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce doing?

Mr. Zhu Huasheng saw the aggressive posture of the Sea Merchant contingent and was momentarily stunned, then he went over to confront them.

His expression darkened as he said, “Mr. Xiao, what is the meaning of this? This is our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce’s banquet hall, not your Sea Merchant’s venue.”

Xiao Zhi didn’t respond but looked toward Luo Feng, as they had primarily come to stand in solidarity with him.

Many from other chambers of commerce had seen Qin Hao hit the head of the Sea Merchant’s Ruixing Group, and if they did not help Luo Feng save face, the reputation of the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce would be at stake, becoming the laughingstock of other chambers.

Luo Feng spoke up, “Mr. Zhu, today’s matter does not concern you, I’m here for Qin Hao.”

Mr. Zhu Huasheng firmly retorted, “Qin Hao is a member of our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce. His affairs are the affairs of the chamber. You say it doesn’t concern us?”

“Exactly, Mr. Qin is one of us at the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce. His affairs are the chamber’s affairs.” Many within the Shuinan Chamber began to echo these sentiments.

They had long been unhappy with the Sea Merchant Chamber’s suppression and now seized the opportunity to express their discontent.

Qin Hao stepped forward, facing Luo Feng and the others with an unflustered expression, “Mr. Luo, what brings you to me?”
