I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3379 Competition

"There is not much available funds in the national treasury at present, so the basic funds for the establishment of this new chamber of commerce need to be solved by the president himself." Terrad said directly, "Don't worry, the difficulties are only temporary. This money is a loan to you. I will return it to you when I make money in the future."

After hearing what Terrad said, many Chamber of Commerce presidents were speechless.

  Isn't this a better way to put it than singing? We lend you money, then we help you make money, and then we pay you back, right? What's the difference between what you're doing and robbery?

No, this is worse than robbery. Robbery is fine, at least they just took the money. In the current situation, not only did they take their money, but they also had to work for you. This means that they want both money and people.

I can only say that this is so shameless that even the leeks are speechless. Even leeks can't be cut like this. If you want to cut leeks, you should spend some effort to cut them yourself. But here, not only do you want leeks, you are even too lazy to cut them, and let them cut them themselves and put them on the car for you, right?

After hearing what Tairad said, the discussion below gradually became louder. It can only be said that the way of cutting leeks this time was somewhat cruel.

However, Terrad's expression did not change, and it was obvious that he had thought of this situation.

Before this, Terrad was also surprised by what Linton said. He didn't expect that he could cut leeks in this way. But after being surprised, Terrad felt that what Linton said made sense.

Although it does sound a bit shameless, the problem is that merchants are just merchants after all. What does this group of merchants have to do with him, Terrad? He, Terrad, does not represent the interests of the merchant class, so why should he consider the affairs of this group of people?

Your Majesty can cut these leeks however he likes, you'd better use your intuition. If you don't want to cooperate, Terrad will make you understand what it means to drink a toast and then drink a penalty.

No matter what the people here were discussing, Terrad didn't have time to wait for them. He raised his voice and said to the presidents below: "I have said what I want to say. Who is in favor? Who is against?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you ask us to help the Royal Chamber of Commerce introduce business opportunities and the like, we are of course willing to help. But to do business, you must at least have capital. I am willing to provide some..." President Coxsackie was trying to reason with Terrad at this time. After all, this behavior could no longer be described as plunder.

However, before he could finish his words, a female voice next to him shouted, "My Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate all its assets to support the Royal Chamber of Commerce!"

"What the hell?" A burst of exclamations rang out, and all the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce were stunned when they heard this. Although this was roughly what Terrad meant, they didn't expect that someone would actually donate their property directly.

However, when they heard it was the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce, they could understand why.

They were reluctant because their net worth was earned bit by bit through their hard work. Even the government couldn't just take all of it away with one word.

Moreover, they not only want their property, but also require them to work for them for free in the future. Who can accept this?

Even leeks can't be cut like this, right? So they must be unwilling, and at least want to negotiate some conditions first.

  But the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce is different from them. Their property is their own, but the property of the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce may not be their own. Although the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce is large and powerful, their president, Feldman, just died, didn't he?

There is such a thing as when a person leaves, the tea gets cold. When President Feldman was there, each chamber of commerce would give face to the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce, but as soon as he left, the face was naturally gone.

Besides, it was obvious that someone was still targeting the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce. In fact, everyone knew that the most ruthless one was President Coxsackie. Of course, the presidents of other chambers of commerce also took action, but that was called "the wall fell and everyone pushed it down". They took action only to make a profit. If they didn't grab it, the cake would be shared with others. And President Coxsackie and the deceased Feldman really had a grudge.

According to the current situation, the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce could not hold out for long. It was not that the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce was really inferior to the merchants of President Cossack, nor that the newly appointed president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, Fidelman's daughter, was incompetent. It was just that Fidelman's death caused everyone to tacitly target the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce and want to share the cake. His family could not cope with a pack of wolves.

It seems that the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce will not be able to hold out for much longer. Even if it waits for another half a month, the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce will not even receive this invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is not qualified.

At this time, the current president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce announced that she was willing to donate all her property, which seemed to be understandable. After all, even if she didn't donate, these properties would soon not be hers.

From another perspective, she was just donating other people's things in advance. Anyway, they would be snatched away by others later, so it's better to donate them now. Instead of giving them to these enemies who are trying to steal her property, it's better to give them directly to the ZHENG government, who has no grudges against her, right?

"Oh?" Terrad looked at the woman who was shouting with a little surprise. He didn't pay attention at first, but now he found that there was a woman among the presidents. This was a rare situation. "Which chamber of commerce are you the president of?"

"I am Lucy Feldman, the current president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce. You can call me Lucy, Prime Minister."

Lucy's original address was naturally President Feldman, so having Terrad call her Lucy directly seemed like a way of getting closer.

However, Terrad did not accept the challenge. He nodded calmly, then looked at the others and asked, "President Feldman wants to compete for the position of president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Apart from her, is there anyone else willing?"

"I am also willing to donate all my assets to support the Royal Chamber of Commerce." Suddenly another person appeared and shouted.

"Me too!" another president nearby also shouted.

Suddenly, three candidates for the new Chamber of Commerce president came, and the other Chamber of Commerce presidents hadn't reacted yet. They really didn't expect that there would be more than one person who signed up. They could barely understand Lucy's side. After all, the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce itself was almost ruined, and they didn't feel bad about donating something that wasn't theirs.

But what do the two people who followed behind mean? Their chambers of commerce are all their own, okay? You are giving away all your property and working for others for free. Are you really willing to do that?

"Very good. I didn't expect that there would be three presidents willing to help the Empire. However, there is only one position for the president. Who among the three of you will be the president? Then why not test your abilities?" Terrad said, "Now I declare that the three of you are now vice presidents of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. One month later, one of you will become the new president. As for who it will be, it depends on your performance."
