Chapter 78 Alliance Meeting
"Sir Xia Lin, I think so too. If you do this, you will definitely arouse the resistance of the members of the council, which is not good for you!"

Her Royal Highness also said with some concern.

"Please don't worry about this! Your Royal Highness, I have already made preparations in this regard!

At this alliance meeting, I will let everyone understand that supporting me and the decision made by Her Royal Highness is the most correct choice!So please feel free to inform the members. "

However, facing the persuasion of Her Royal Highness and Elsa, Xia Lin nodded confidently, as if thinking about some plan in her heart.

Seeing his appearance, although she was a little curious and worried, Princess Dorothea was inconvenient to say any more, so she could only follow his mind and hold an emergency meeting of the alliance in her own name tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, members of the business alliance who received the letterhead from the princess gathered outside the Venia Opera House in the southern district.

The Vinia Opera House is located on Lensart Avenue next to the River Thine, with various shops on one side and the wide and busy River Thine on the other.

The horse-drawn carriages of the MPs from various alliance member chambers of commerce formed a long queue on Lensart Avenue. Under the influence of the alliance forces, the city guards even began to dispatch to both sides of Lensart Avenue for traffic control.

This meeting was different from the past. It involved the distribution of the benefits of the factories established in the second phase of the Xinglan Industrial Park. Almost all the big nobles attended the meeting in person as representatives. The appearance of these alliance bosses attracted many small nobles who had not received the news And the merchants were quite disturbed.

However, this meeting has nothing to do with them. At most, the big bosses eat meat, the younger brothers drink soup, and then these trash fish pick up some bones and gnaw on them.

For example, the raw material orders assigned to some industrial parks, or the sales of newly added commodities in the industrial parks.

A long table was set up on the stage in the Venia Theater. As the speaker, Princess Dorothea and the four nobles were seated one by one. It looked a bit like the official press conference of Xia Lin's previous life, but without long guns and short guns. media footage.

"Members, this time I urgently convened the alliance meeting as the speaker because the executive director of the Xinglan Industrial Park and the president of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce His Excellency Charlene Karl proposed the second phase of the construction plan of the Xinglan Industrial Park, but So far the plan has suffered some minor setbacks.

New Leaf Chamber of Commerce is an important member of the business alliance, and the Xinglan Industrial Park they manage has brought many benefits to our members.

As the biggest beneficiary, the alliance is obliged to help the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce to tide over the difficulties, so I specially convened this alliance meeting. For the specific situation, I would like to ask the president of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Xia Lin Carle, to come up and explain! "

After the waiters at the venue confirmed that all the representatives sent by the various chambers of commerce had arrived, and those who were not present had explained their reasons, Princess Dorothea nodded, got up and gave a brief opening speech for the meeting, explaining that this meeting was held. the reason for the meeting.

The members of the business alliance are familiar with Xinglan Industrial Park, but most of the members of the alliance have never met Xia Lin.

Seeing a figure standing up in the front row, they couldn't suppress their curiosity, and probed to see who the alliance founder who single-handedly proposed to promote the business alliance was.

As a result, after Xia Lin came to the stage, these young councilors suddenly showed a look of surprise, for nothing else, this Xia Lin Carr is too young, almost the same age as many of their sons and grandchildren big.

Even many people have heard that Charlene Karl is a 15-year-old boy, and they are very surprised by this. After all, there is always a gap between rumors and witnesses.

"Good morning, Members of Parliament, I am Charlene Karl. As Her Royal Highness Princess Dorothea said just now, in my recent plan, the Xinglan Industrial Park is preparing for the implementation of the second round of construction plans.

It's just that before the launch of the plan, we encountered a little trouble, that is, insufficient steel raw materials.

The reason why I asked Her Royal Highness to convene this alliance meeting is because I want to use the power of the business alliance to obtain a batch of steel that the industrial park urgently needs.

Here, I propose a steel aid bill, hoping that everyone can squeeze out a part of the steel quota in the industries they operate to support the implementation of the second phase of the Xinglan Industrial Park.

I believe that everyone will be very interested in the second phase of our Xinglan Industrial Park construction plan, here I will explain to you the functions, costs and main profit methods of the six new factories we will build next..."

After some explanations, Xia Lin saw that the congressmen in the audience began to discuss in low voices among themselves, apparently discussing the prospects of these new factories and exchanging interests between all parties, and then continued:

"The equity allocation of the six newly built factories will be different from the equity allocation in the first phase plan. Her Royal Highness still holds 25% of each factory's shares, and I will take 75% of the remaining 40% of the shares. It is for everyone to invest, and the remaining shares will all belong to the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

"All belong to the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce? Doesn't the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce have to account for 35% of the shares? Sir Xia Lin, do you have too much appetite? This is not in line with the mutual benefit principle of our business alliance!"

Hearing Xia Lin's words, the audience suddenly buzzed. After a while, a viscount in the front seat stood up, and he complained dissatisfiedly to Xia Lin, as if they were not asking Xia Lin to let go of more things. It's like Xia Lin is cutting their flesh.

Although this kind of behavior is a violation of the regulations set by the alliance meeting, none of the five speakers on the stage spoke out to stop it.

Princess Dorothea believes that Xia Lin can obtain this benefit by relying on her own strength, while the other four speakers are also somewhat displeased with Xia Lin's behavior. This is a silent objection.

"Mr. Farner, I think today is different from the past. In the past, the shareholders of Xinglan Industrial Park raised the construction funds I needed, so the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce gave up so many benefits to everyone.

However, this situation will not be normal. After the normal operation of our New Leaf Chamber of Commerce and start to generate profits, we do not need too much external investment. We have provided 40% of the equity for everyone to invest, precisely to implement the principle of mutual benefit of the alliance . "

Xia Lin spoke frankly, but he knew that this group of people would not put down their knives and forks because of such reasonable remarks. In order to divert the attention of the group of hyenas and vultures, he turned to other things :
"Compared to the equity in the new factory in Xinglan Industrial Park, perhaps I think everyone should pay more attention to the problems that the alliance will encounter soon."

"What's the problem? Our business alliance has just been established, and everyone is satisfied with the situation brought about by the alliance. What problems can we have?"

Viscount Farner, who was in a fit of anger, was very displeased with Xia Lin's avoidance of talking about key issues.

But other nobles who participated in the first board of directors of the industrial park are used to Xia Lin's style. Knowing that he mentioned such a topic that has nothing to do with the bill itself, there is a high probability that he has some unique ideas. A viscount asked cautiously :

"Just like Mr. Farner said, our alliance has just been established. How can there be any problems? Mr. Xia Lin, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Of course there is a problem with the alliance, and it has always existed, but everyone has not realized the nature of the problem. Before revealing my answer, I would like to ask everyone, who is the foundation of our business alliance?"

Facing these people's questioning, Xia Lin smiled and asked back.

"Who is the foundation? Of course it is our Royal Highness Dorothea!"

"That's right, without Her Royal Highness Dorothea, we would not be able to form a business alliance at all!"

"..."

Amidst the flattery of a group of people, Princess Dorothea looked at Xia Lin's back and fell into deep thought. What exactly did he want to do when he brought up such a topic that had nothing to do with the proposal?
"No, although what you said is correct, your statements are too one-sided!"

Xia Lin stretched out his index finger of his right hand calmly and shook it at the members of the audience, expressing his opinion with some regret:

"The foundation of the business alliance is Her Royal Highness, yes, but it is also me, the president of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and the presidents of all the chambers of commerce present!

I call us the merchant class, the merchant class who are good at doing business and making money by circulating materials is the foundation of our business alliance and our enlightened faction!
Although there are various competitions among us businessmen, we all need an enlightened, inclusive, safe and stable social environment, so that our interests can be guaranteed.

That's why we will gather under the banner of Her Royal Highness and build up this business alliance step by step! "

Xia Lin threw out his own conclusions, and saw the members of the audience began to discuss this novel but very suitable statement in a low voice, and then asked:
"Do you know who is the foundation of the conservatives?"

"Hmm... so it should be those farmers, right?"

"And those die-hard manor nobles!"

After Xia Lin's inspiration, the congressmen in the audience vaguely grasped some of his thoughts.

"That's right, it's farmers and manor nobles! Farmers hope to reduce agricultural and land taxes so that they can accumulate some food through their annual labor in exchange for some necessities such as cloth, salt, and soybean oil.

And the manor nobles want to earn more profits from land management in the same way, so their conservative members have the same interests as our enlightened members, so they will attack us crazily.

Because the existence of the empire needs to collect taxes from various groups, which involves a problem of benefit distribution.

We all make the cake bigger under the banner of the empire, but because the cake is so big, some people will eat more and some people will eat less, so the competition between the conservatives and the liberals is not actually the throne, but what the throne represents The power to divide the cake!
The reason why Minister of Agriculture, Earl Hert Arnold threatened to increase commercial tax and reduce land tax and agricultural tax was to allow the conservatives to gain the support of these farmers and manor owners and give them the power to share the cake.

And the reason why we enlightened factions have never been able to confront the conservative factions before is because the peasants and manor aristocrats who are their cornerstones occupy the majority of the population of the empire, and our merchant class is the minority.

Even now, we have formed a close alliance of interests, and this trend has not fundamentally reversed!

On the contrary, our pressing step by step will gradually unite the conservatives and form an alliance similar to ours.

At that time, our strength will definitely not be enough to fight against them. We can only obediently give up the power to share the cake, and become the ruled who worked hard to make cakes but could not get too much cake!
This is what I call the problem with the alliance! "
