Chapter 165 Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce

Chapter 165. Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce

Thanks to the care of Ren Ping and his son over the years, even in this situation, these old craftsmen are still thinking about Ren.

Ren Ping was moved in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, and immediately raised his eyebrows:
"Okay, 4000 is 4000."

"What?" Everyone was taken aback.

Ye Shiyun's eyes widened, she grabbed his shoulder and shook it:
"Ren Ping, wake up! Where did we get 4000 million?"

"I can talk to the Taihetian family, as if they offered another 2000 million shares in the Baishoutu series."

"Are you a fool? Add 2000 million if you say 2000 million? Besides, in this way, is this furniture product line still owned by Ren's?"

She tried her best to stop it, not because she didn't want to save Zheng Gong and work with them, but because Ren Ping's idea was too crazy and unreasonable, she was acting like a child.

It's a pity that Ren Ping has made up his mind, no matter what she says, she still shakes her head slowly.

In a panic, Ye Shiyun slammed her hand:
"Okay! Your own family's property is your own decision, and I don't care about it anymore!"

He thought about turning around and leaving, but he still cared after all, and forced himself to restrain himself, staring at Ren Ping, wondering if he was crazy today.

At this time, You Zhengxing was overjoyed, Ren Ping and the Taihetian family had a close relationship, and it had recently been known throughout Nanling, so he was not afraid of repudiating his debts.

Just when he was planning to make a written statement on the spot, Ren Ping smiled coldly:
"Wait a minute, besides Mr. Zheng and his five, I want to make a bet with Mr. You for the 4000 million yuan."

"What bet?"

"Your Yongrong Zhai."

You Zhengxing was taken aback for a moment, only to feel the coldness in Ren Ping's tone, which made people shudder. Turning his head, he saw a faint smile: "Look, I even invited the notary."

"What notary?"

He was stunned again. At this moment, he heard a commotion downstairs. It seemed that a large number of people were walking up from the exhibition hall on the lower floor. After a while, they had entered the boutique exhibition area on the upper floor.

This group of people was obviously coming towards them, and the waiter at the door couldn't stop them, so they had to lead them all the way.

There were a total of more than ten people, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly men in their 50s and [-]s. Judging from their clothes, they were not ordinary people.

You Zhengxing took a closer look and found out, surprisingly, that most of them were reputable business owners on Tiangong Street, and their properties were no less than those of Yongrong Zhai.

Especially the leader, a thin old man wearing a blue Tang suit, named Qu Zhinong, who is the boss of "Tinggulou", the most famous modern handicraft merchant in Nanling.

There is another identity, that is, the president of the Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce. He is highly respected and has been reelected for many terms. He is very prestigious in the field of modern handicrafts.

He never thought that this group of people would come to Yongrong Zhai together today, and they still seemed to be asking questions.

"President Qu, and colleagues, why are you interested in visiting me today?"

Leaving Ren Pingping and others aside for the time being, You Zhengxing immediately stepped forward to be courteous.

His Yongrongzhai's strength is not impressive, but in addition to Qu Zhinong's Tinggulou, there are also many industry leaders such as Feiyan Pavilion, Changqingxuan, Zhongwangtai, etc., which are equivalent to half of Tiangong Street. He can't offend easily.

However, soon, his wish came true.

These people headed by Qu Zhinong obviously came prepared. After standing still, they saw Zheng Gong and other five people who had been beaten all over their bodies, and their faces turned livid:

"I heard that Mr. You abused disabled workers. At first, we didn't believe it. We just said to take a look, but we didn't expect it to be true."

You Zhengxing immediately came to his senses when he heard the words, waved his hands, asked those security guards to help Zheng Gong and the others up, forced a smile and said:

"Everyone misunderstood, these are not workers."

"Oh? So you're a guest?"

"Of course not."

"Then who are they? Can you tell me, Mr. You?"

You Zhengxing was at a loss for words for a moment, and he couldn't think of any suitable lie arrangement in a hurry, and it was full of loopholes when it fell into the eyes of the dozen or so people.

The thin and thin Qu Zhinong snorted immediately:
"Mr. You, do you still remember the 'Nine Don'ts' principle of our Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce?"

"Remember, first, you must not forget your roots and exploit workers; second, you must not bully the market and exclude comrades; third, you must not seek profit and deceive customers; fourth, you must not..."

The more he talked, the more guilty he felt. You Zhengxing couldn't stop sweating from his forehead, just because he knew that he had already violated the first of the nine principles, and it was the one that Qu Zhinong hated the most:
Forgetting their duty and squeezing workers!
It is said that the President Qu was also a craftsman when he was young, and he started business after the age of 30, and gradually founded Tinggulou, which is well-known in the world of modern handicrafts.

Because of this, he is well aware of the difficulty of workers. Even though there have been more and more mechanized factories in recent years, good workers are still very precious and the root of their industry.

The rest of the merchants didn't have this awareness at first, but after Qu Zhinong became the president of the chamber of commerce, he led Tiangong Street to prosper, and gradually agreed, and put the principle of not squeezing workers at the top of the nine principles, which shows that they are very serious about this. hate.

But now, what You Zhengxing has done is not only to squeeze the workers, but to retaliate and openly abuse them. How can this not make them angry?
"Mr. You, thank you for remembering these nine principles. The first one is that you must not neglect your duty and exploit workers. You have already committed the crime. There is nothing left to argue with!"

"You are also a member of the Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce. When you joined the association, you said it with certainty. Could it be that it was all fake!"

"Don't even think about it. There are no workers, no handicrafts, and your Yongrong Zhai? You are lying on your mother's belly and scolding your mother, do you know that!"

Enraged, a group of business owners couldn't help scolding loudly, and some even directly suggested to Qu Zhinong that Yongrongzhai should be kicked out of the chamber of commerce's membership list for violating the "Nine Do's" principle.

You Zhengxing was shocked when he heard this. He thought that the members of the Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce were considered to be golden names in the industry in Nanling City and could not be lost. He immediately defended himself:
"President Qu, it's true that they are workers, but they are not from Yongrongzhai."

"So what? The article about not oppressing workers doesn't say that workers from other companies should be abused by you. This is the righteousness of the industry, don't you know?"

"These two guys came to me to dig people, and I hit them, so teach me a lesson, the other three broke things while working, and I want them to pay some money, is this too much?"

"You are talking nonsense! Didn't you just say that they are not from Yongrongzhai?"

"President Qu, look at this."

Some business owners noticed the few employment contracts scattered on the ground and immediately handed them to Qu Zhinong.

When Qu Zhinong looked at it, his already livid face seemed to melt with molten iron, and he immediately held up several contracts:
"What is this? Mr. You? It clearly states that you, Yongrongzhai, are the employer, and it's not your worker?"

"That's all, why do you ask workers to handwrite the terms of tenure employment on it? This is illegal, do you know that!"

There was a bang. After hearing this, more than a dozen business owners immediately exploded and quickly took over the contracts and looked at them carefully.

When he saw that each contract did have a lifetime tenure clause, he was as furious as Qu Zhinong.

You must know that it is not hateful for those who work in their business to be poached sometimes, at least it proves that the workers under them have real skills, and the handicrafts they make are recognized by the market.

What is really hateful is that some bosses rely on their wealth to control the lifeblood of the workers through money, etc., and bully the workers because they don't understand the law and sign lifelong contracts, turning them into tools for making money.

In the short term, this kind of shameless behavior can indeed seek benefits for a few people, but it is tantamount to fishing for money. In the long run, the enthusiasm of workers is not high, and there is a lack of mobility, which will hurt the entire industry.

The so-called black sheep, a rat droppings ruined a pot of porridge, that's the reason. If there are more people like this, don't do their business!

"President Qu, look, there is a loan contract behind, with 15.00% interest! This is also illegal!"

"This is exactly the usual method of some people. They use loans to coerce workers to sign lifetime contracts. While earning their high interest rates, they also squeeze them for the rest of their lives, causing the atmosphere in the industry to get worse and worse!"

"Enhancing oneself by hurting others, that's what the moths of the industry are talking about!"

"That's right! President Qu, we can't just sit idly by and ignore the situation now. Regardless of whether it's illegal or not, our Chamber of Commerce should at least make a statement on this matter, otherwise everyone will act like this in the future. Tiangong Street What will happen, how will we all do things!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone echoed.

You Zhengxing was extremely embarrassed, and it was difficult to explain for a while that he signed a lifetime contract with people like Zheng Gong, not really to squeeze them, but to indirectly suppress Ren's Wood Industry.

Besides, even if the explanation is clear, what's the use? Half a year ago, the Ren family also straddled the modern handicraft industry. He colluded with Shanglong Decoration Design to cause it to go bankrupt, which is also a big taboo.

On the other side, Ye Shiyun was also dumbfounded.

The rapid changes in the situation and the sudden shift of strength and weakness on the scene caught people off guard.

The most important thing is, how did these people from Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce suddenly come here?And even pushed the boat along the way to get them out of the siege?

If it was a coincidence, she wouldn't believe it even if she was killed!

"You arranged these? Do you know them?"

Slightly relieving her tense nerves, Ye Shiyun immediately turned to Ren Ping, but saw him smiling and shaking his head: "I don't know, but someone does."

"Who?"

"Spring and Autumn League, President Rong Qiancheng Rong."

Ye Shiyun was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that although Tiangong Street is a street of modern handicrafts, but because it is very close to the collection circle, many precious modern handicrafts on the market are also collected by people, so it can be regarded as in the industry.

For example, in front of you, most of these business owners headed by Qu Zhinong are well-known collectors. Although these people combined are not as powerful as the Spring and Autumn League in the industry, they should not be underestimated.

In recent years, there are more and more people saying that Spring and Autumn League is first and Tiangong Street is second.

It is of course difficult to verify whether it is true or not, but the two parties must have communicated with each other. With Ren Ping and Rong Qiancheng's friendship, it is not surprising to ask them to do a favor through this channel.

"With such a helper, why didn't you tell me earlier, causing me to worry for nothing?"

She glared at Ren Ping angrily.

Ren Ping smiled and said, "Do you think why I kept holding back just now? Why didn't I wait for You to expose all his flaws?"

"Otherwise, even if President Qu and the others honor the general's affection, they can't just help me deal with their members for no reason at all, right?"

Ye Shiyun thought about it. Looking back on the situation just now, she wanted to accuse Ren Ping of getting better and better. He didn't know when he became so sinister.

Before he opened his mouth, after the turmoil over there, he quickly made a decision, only to hear Qu Zhinong's voice sink:
"Mr. You, I am now formally notifying you that because of violating the principles of the Chamber of Commerce, Yongrong Zhai will be removed from the Tiangong Street Chamber of Commerce from now on!"
