Three days later, the Handong Chamber of Commerce was quietly established.
The first batch had more than twenty members.
Zhao Yan served as chairman, Chen Han as vice chairman, the boss Chen from Jinxiu Palace served as secretary general, and Chen Hailong, chairman of the board of Hailong Group, served as executive chairman...
The headquarters was a garden-style courtyard.
The Chamber of Commerce also set up departments like the Membership Department, Secretariat Office, Employee Rights Service Department and so on.
So there were still quite a lot of office staff.
After all, it was said that integrating resources and mutual benefit required real integration in order to unite and face outsiders together.
With Zhao Yan there, nothing much went wrong, after all everyone wanted to hug Zhao Gongzi's thighs as soon as possible.
Little did they know that they were Zhao Gongzi's thighs!
And Zhao Yan was hugging his thighs while standing!
And so, Zhao Yan was busy for several days, and the framework of the Chamber of Commerce was finally set up and began to operate.
Zhao Yan also formulated membership thresholds. Members must have a background in Handong Province, enterprises must have a scale of over 5 billion, and maintain good profitability.
For members in the same industry, only three people were accepted, and they had to have guarantees from at least three senior members.
In Zhao Yan's words, everyone set up the Chamber of Commerce not for hugging for warmth, but for a strong alliance.
So the weak were not eligible to join the Handong Chamber of Commerce.
But his Changhong Trading, although only having a scale of over 100 million, also joined in. But no one was too serious about it, because in everyone's eyes, it was enough for a big shot like Young Master Zhao to casually set up a small company for show.
The key was that he himself was there!
Using the shell and resources of the Chamber of Commerce, under Zhao Yan's hint, Xu Xue controlled Changhong Trading to start frantically squeezing out peers and occupying the market, with its scale rapidly expanding.
Half a month after the establishment of the Handong Chamber of Commerce, the members gathered together for the first time, choosing the Binhai International Hotel.
Because this was where they first proposed the intention to establish the Chamber of Commerce, so it had more commemorative meaning.
In the luxuriously decorated banquet hall, soft music was playing. The members came and went, chatting and laughing.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
Following Young Master Zhao, the future would be bright, the prospects grand. Of course they were happy.
Hadn't they seen how rapidly Zhao Gongzi's Changhong Trading had developed in just this half a month?
Zhao Gongzi had clearly said that this time he had not used his own capabilities at all, it was all the capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce.
It was to let everyone see the effects of the Chamber of Commerce.
So everyone had high expectations for the Handong Chamber of Commerce.
Little did they know that Zhao Yan himself had no capabilities at all, he could only use the capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce (*╹▽╹*).
They had all been exploited by Zhao Yan...
And they still had to thank him, and were very happy.
Since everyone in the Chamber of Commerce was very happy, and felt they had gained, who exactly had lost out?
In their view, of course it was Young Master Zhao who had lost out.
Because in their eyes, the Chamber of Commerce was successful because of Young Master Zhao. Everyone was using Young Master Zhao's reputation, but with Young Master Zhao's own background he didn't need them at all. So wasn't he losing out?
Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Young Master Zhao bled money, he almost cried from losing so much, almost going bankrupt ( ̄ิ∀ ̄ิ๑).
"Everyone quiet down, quiet down. Let's all toast the chairman with this drink," Chen Boss from Jinxiu Palace suddenly shouted loudly to everyone.
Holding up his glass towards Zhao Yan, he emotionally said, "The Chamber of Commerce was able to succeed, all thanks to the chairman. To be honest, we have all taken advantage of the chairman!"
"Yes, the chairman has a deep background, he doesn't even need us at all, yet we have relied on the chairman's reputation to create the Chamber of Commerce and profit. It often makes me feel ashamed," someone else said.
"That's right, that's right, we all know that we have taken advantage of the chairman. Let's toast the chairman with this drink!"
Everyone echoed, raising their glasses towards Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan, with his arm around Chen Yurou's waist, holding a glass of wine in his hand, smiled gently and refined: "I, Zhao, am not doing business with you, but making friends with you. Making friends inevitably means losing out, but can it be called losing out among friends? I'm willing!"
"This drink, I toast you all, toast the Handong Chamber of Commerce, and toast our everlasting friendship!"
Everyone was deeply moved upon hearing these words. Listen, wasn't this so touching, so tear-jerking, Young Master Zhao had such unlimited charm!
We wanted his reputation, his background.
But he didn't care about us, not even a thread! Yet he was still willing to play with us, just to make friends.
What was meant by status? This was fucking status!
A group of middle-aged men with an average age of forty and above, now had boiling hot blood, more fired up than Luo Yunyang!
"Toast the chairman!" everyone excitedly shouted.
Chen Han also raised his glass and shouted slogans, but no one saw his slightly twitching mouth corner.
To be honest, no one before or after could bullshit as much as Zhao Yan did.
Bullshitting any more would turn the lies into facts.
Who still dared to question Young Master Zhao of Binhai now?
Just the behemoth that was the Handong Chamber of Commerce under his name could make a large group of people unable to ignore him now.
"Alright, everyone enjoy yourselves,"
Zhao Yan said lightly after finishing a drink.
Chen Han came over, "Go chat somewhere else?"
"Yurou and I have something to do, I'm taking her to watch a movie tonight," Zhao Yan shook his head indicating he was unavailable.
Chen Han curiously asked, "What movie? It doesn't seem like any new films have been released recently right?"
"There is, the one we're watching tonight is a new film, made by Qiao Ben You Cai. There's only a total of three characters, and only one scene, but it depicts the complexity of human nature, impulsive emotions, and the decay of morality." Zhao Yan spoke in a deep tone.
Chen Han was immediately interested: "This actress sounds a bit familiar. And from how you describe it, it sounds quite profound. What's the name of the movie? How come I haven't seen any promotions? The crew didn't do any publicity?"
"It's an imported blockbuster from overseas, there's no publicity in China. It's called My Sister-In-Law's Seduction," Zhao Yan said.
Chen Han's face darkened, while Chen Yurou's face reddened.
"Get lost!" the siblings wordlessly understood each other.
Just hearing the name of this movie, and knowing the actresses were from the island country, they knew what it was about.
Zhao Yan bared his teeth at the two of them: "Just kidding, how could I watch something like that."
The two's expressions eased a little.
Zhao Yan added: "Just watching, what's the point. Only losers do that. I only play in reality."
Chen Han decided he could never let him come to his house again. After all, his own wife was quite pretty, and it seemed like Xu Xue had also gotten married recently...
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Zhao Yan gradually turned into Cao Cao in his eyes.
"Let's go, go back early and add to the Chen family line," Zhao Yan pulled Chen Yurou to leave.
Chen Han grabbed Chen Yurou back and whispered with a red old face, "Use protection."
"Then how to have a baby?" Chen Yurou was confused.
Chen Han was even more confused: "How old are you, how old is that guy? You guys want a baby already?"
"No... aren't you infertile, and wanted me and Zhao Yan to have a child, to adopt and raise for you and sister-in-law?" Chen Yurou was puzzled, revealing some caution, afraid of hurting her brother's self-esteem.
After all, men were very sensitive about this.
Chen Han: "∑(✘Д✘๑)???"
I'm infertile? How come I don't know about this?
Damn it, who's spreading rumors about me again!

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later."
