Chapter 239 Chamber of Commerce and Mercenary Union

In the next few days, Lin Yifan and Xiong Feng visited various mercenary regiments in Dingxi County every day.With Xiong Feng, a highly respected senior, present, everyone was very respectful, and the conversation with Lin Yifan was very harmonious.Taking this opportunity, Lin Yifan discussed with all the mercenary regiments the proposal of establishing a corridor mercenary union.This trade union intends to establish a system of integrating mercenary forces, coordinating operations, improving various rules for hiring and accepting tasks, exchanging information, and so on.As long as all parties reach an agreement, with the backing of the trade union, the mercenaries will no longer fight alone when they are out on missions.Once you encounter a strong enemy, you can quickly notify the nearby mercenary group to come to the rescue; in terms of employment, the mercenary group can negotiate with the merchants, negotiate the employment price and treatment, and reduce the exploitation of the merchants. , and enjoy the benefits of death and injury benefits; at the same time, mercenaries travel around, and can also collect intelligence from various places, share information, and allow union members to complete tasks accurately and quickly;

All the mercenary regiments were very interested in this proposal, after all, these terms were beneficial to the vital interests of the mercenaries.However, the role of this trade union is so huge, who will control it has become the focus of endless debate.

In this regard, Lin Yifan suggested that the trade union establish the post of president, with Xiong Feng serving as the first president for a term of five years.Two other vice presidents will be established to assist the president in daily affairs. After the term of the president expires, one of the vice presidents will be elected as the president through the elders.Under it, a group of elders is set up to be responsible for the affairs of each county. Any major matters related to the trade union must be discussed by the group of elders and the chairman and vice president before making a decision.In each county, trade union branches are set up, responsible for accepting employment and tasks from various places, as well as serving as mercenary supply stations and safe points for caravans to stop.

In the end, this proposal was approved by everyone. After all, the trade union is not controlled by a certain person, but is checked and balanced by the majority.In this way, in this trade union, one's own interests will not be harmed.

Therefore, in Dingxi City, all the leaders of the mercenary group gathered together to discuss and revise the terms of the trade union, trying to reach an agreement.Lin Yifan was secretly delighted with this, and immediately summoned Chen Dengke and Jin Jiuyuan to have a secret meeting, asking them to immediately arrange manpower, and put manpower in the mercenary union.For the mercenary union, what he values ​​most is actually the exchange of news among them.Relying on the spirit of the mercenaries traveling north and south, the local customs and geography of mountains and rivers will be made public within the trade union.As long as Hengshan can obtain this information, it will not only expand the scope of intelligence in the military, but also save a lot of manpower and material resources of the Investigation Department.To achieve the point where the three armies have not moved, and the intelligence is clear.And in business, it is also a channel for business intelligence.Through these messages, we can judge which place lacks what and which place has what.In this way, in terms of business and trade, it is possible to accurately predict the supply and demand information of the market, so that the Hengshan caravan is invincible in terms of business sense.

Of course, the trade union cannot be established in a short period of time, nor can it be achieved by relying on the enthusiasm of the mercenaries.The key to this lies in the businessman.Merchants would definitely not be happy for a united mercenary to appear. Only scattered mercenaries can let them use the cheapest combat power to fight for their caravan.

However, a mercenary like loose sand has uneven combat effectiveness, which cannot guarantee the success rate of each escort.As a result, when merchants choose mercenaries, it is like gambling, and they can only rely on luck.

Lin Yifan took advantage of this to get the merchants to support the mercenary group's establishment of a trade union.But in order to get the merchants to agree, they must be given a difficult choice.At the same time, let them understand that only a formal mercenary regiment is their most reliable security guarantee.

Therefore, Lin Yifan put Jin Jiuyuan on the bright side and invited most businessmen from Dingxi County to discuss with them the establishment of a chamber of commerce.The reason why the Chamber of Commerce was established was to unify the merchants.This idea has been planned since last year, but it is a pity that the world is changing and he has no chance to carry it out.Now that Hengshan has stabilized, it is time to start planning.Now that the mercenary guild is about to be established, its strength will definitely surpass that of the merchants, which is definitely not conducive to the development of commerce. Only by integrating the merchants can the mercenary guild not dominate. Only with checks and balances can the market Continuous development in orderly competition.At the same time, this is also a preparation for Hengshan's business development in Shazhou.Now that the Dingxi Army is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, Hengshan may not be able to enter Shazhou smoothly to develop business.For this reason, Lin Yifan deliberately supported and strengthened the power of the two major guilds, and then secretly intervened in them.In this way, once Hengshan and the Dingxi Army turn against each other, they can continue to trade by relying on these two guilds.

However, the establishment of the chamber of commerce was not so easy to achieve under the calculations of this group of shrewd businessmen.After a few days of difficult negotiations, the opinions were still not unified, and everyone had great differences, especially those big business houses, relying on their own wealth and wealth, and many guards under them, they felt that there was no need to join any chamber of commerce for self-protection.At the same time, I was very vigilant about the establishment of this chamber of commerce. During this period, I secretly sabotaged the progress of the meeting, questioned the conspiracy of the chamber of commerce, and used various methods.

Lin Yifan was very angry about this, and immediately secretly hired a group of mercenaries, pretending to be horse thieves, to ambush the caravans of these trading companies everywhere, causing the trading companies to complain and suffer a lot of losses.He wanted to tell the people in these commercial firms that if they did not join the Chamber of Commerce, no one would be able to guarantee their safety on the promenade.With such an abnormal behavior, everyone in the major commercial firms understood that if they did not join the commercial firm, the caravans in Shazhou would suffer endless harassment from now on, completely cutting off the financial source of Shazhou.

Faced with Lin Yifan's aggressive posture, these firms had to compromise and agreed to continue discussing the establishment of a chamber of commerce.But he asked himself to hold an important position in it and control the power of the chamber of commerce.

But this was impossible, and it immediately aroused strong opposition from other small and medium-sized business firms. They would never tolerate letting big business firms sit on their heads to do their best.They demand that the chamber of commerce must be fair, just and open, and they will never accept that big commercial banks will hold the chamber of commerce in their hands.

After repeated discussions, in the end, Lin Yifan provided Jin Jiuyuan with a plan and asked him to inform the companies.The Chamber of Commerce will set up five rotating deacon groups, who will take turns serving as the president once a year.The power of the president has also been greatly weakened, and the daily affairs are all in charge of the major deacons.The position of deacon must be elected by the members of each firm, and the election is held every five years.

After repeated discussions, the major commercial banks finally reached a preliminary compromise and agreed to start the establishment of the chamber of commerce.The current role of this Chamber of Commerce is still very limited, limited to the regulation of competition in the same industry and external alliances.However, Lin Yifan's proposal of information sharing and resource allocation, which Lin Yifan was most concerned about, was rejected.No businessman is willing to share their business intelligence and resources with others. For businessmen, intelligence and resources are the magic weapon they rely on for survival. How can it be possible to speak out and let others take the opportunity to enter.Regarding this, Lin Yifan was quite helpless, and knew that it was really inappropriate for him to bring it up at this time.

Now that the chamber of commerce has reached an agreement, everything that follows will have to be further improved by themselves.Whether the road ahead will become smoother and smoother depends on their wisdom.Lin Yifan has planted a seed, whether it will take root or not, it is up to fate.

While Lin Yifan was running around preparing for the two guilds, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Hengshan also came to Dingxi City under the banner of the envoy group.
