Qin Xiangqian, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's New President!

Whether the Misfortune Compass was trembling with anger is unknown, but Chu Xinghe was definitely smug!

Whether Senior Brother Xinghe was being arrogant is unknown, but Qin Xiangqian was genuinely trembling!

There was no other way. Although Feng Fei was the nominal president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, everyone knew that having Feng Fei hold the title was just a temporary measure.

Qin Xiangqian is basically in charge of all the daily affairs of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, so Qin Xiangqian, the vice president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, is actually the real manager.

Moreover, Qin Xiangqian is known as Chu Xinghe's second most trusted confidant. Everyone knows that as long as Qin Xiangqian can make steady progress, the position of president of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce will soon be Qin Xiangqian.

Qin Xiangqian originally thought so too, but now, due to the loss of spiritual energy from the spirit ore, the sales of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce have plummeted by 90%.

Although other factions' chambers of commerce suffered even greater losses, the problem is that those chambers of commerce were already making limited profits, so even if they were to close down, it wouldn't significantly impact the overall situation.

But Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce no ordinary company. It occupies the largest market in the Three Continents, and its profits are said to surpass those of all other chambers of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce combined. It is an absolute precipitous lead!

And most importantly, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's operating model is there for all to see!

Even if other chambers of commerce experience a 90% drop in sales, they will only suffer a small loss at most.

But Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce different; the benefits and treatment it provides to its employees are unparalleled.

With sales plummeting by 90%, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce not only not making a profit, but its current revenue isn't even enough to pay its employees' salaries...

Qin Xiangqian was extremely anxious about this, because other merchants, due to their low operating costs, wouldn't suffer significant losses even with a 90% drop in sales.

But the daily losses of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce are simply astronomical!

So Qin Xiangqian immediately discussed with his Senior Brother Feng Fei whether they should lower the benefits offered by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce...

"Junior Brother Qin, all the plans for the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce were decided by Junior Brother Xinghe. You still need to discuss this with him. This is a major test for you. If you can help the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce overcome this challenge, I will go to the Grand Elder. You truly deserve the position of President of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce!"

Upon hearing Feng Fei's words, Qin Xiangqian's eyes turned red!

Although Qin Xiangqian has always stated publicly that he has never valued the position of president of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

But does that mean they really don't value it?

Although everyone knows that Qin Xiangqian, as the vice president, is basically no different from the president.

But that word "deputy" just sounds so unpleasant...

However, Qin Xiangqian knew that he was not qualified to become the president yet, so as long as he kept working hard, the position would definitely be his.

But Qin Xiangqian didn't expect that he would become the chairman so quickly...

If I can find a way to resolve this crisis, will I truly become the president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

Qin Xiangqian so excited he almost peed himself...

But after the initial excitement, tears welled up in Qin Xiangqian... It was true that solving the current problems of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce would make him the president, but how could he solve these problems?

The Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is losing astronomical sums every day... If this continues, even if I become the president, I'll be a president who loses money...

Even if the whole world knows that the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's losses might not be his fault as its president, what's the point of being the president of a Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce that's constantly losing money?

After much thought, Qin Xiangqian realized that what Senior Brother Feng Fei said was correct. Regarding the current situation of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, it was entirely reasonable to say that Senior Brother Xinghe had single-handedly built it up. Now that things had come to this, Qin Xiangqian decided to go and ask Senior Brother Xinghe if he had any way to break the deadlock!

Upon arriving at the Spirit Crane Palace, Qin Xiangqian saw Senior Brother Xinghe lying on a rocking chair, rocking back and forth while singing a little song.

"When the Taiyang rises, I climb the hillside, and when I reach the top, I want to sing... I sing my song to the compass, and the compass trembles with anger..."

Although Qin Xiangqian didn't know why he had to climb the hill, who the compass was, or why he was trembling with anger, Qin Xiangqian only say that Senior Brother Xinghe's little songs were truly sultry...

Upon seeing Qin Xiangqian walk in, Chu Xinghe had no idea what Qin Xiangqian was thinking, but Chu Xinghe was so startled that he almost fell off his rocking chair!

What the hell is Qin Xiangqian doing here? Does he have a knife in his hand?

I, Chu Xinghe, am completely done for. This guy is probably coming to me now seeking advice...

I, Chu Xinghe, swear to the heavens, I absolutely will not give him the slightest guidance in this round!

"Xiangqian greets Senior Brother Xinghe... Senior Brother Xinghe should be aware of the current situation of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Xiangqian wishes to ask Senior Brother Xinghe for advice and strategies..."

Qin Xiangqian stood respectfully beside Senior Brother Xinghe, earnestly seeking his guidance.

"Qin Xiangqian, you are now a seasoned leader of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. From today onwards, the position of president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is yours. I will speak with Senior Brother Feng Fei and the Grand Elder later. As for the management of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, it will all be handed over to you. Senior Brother Xinghe has nothing more to teach you!"

Chu Xinghe remained completely calm at this moment!

You think you can get pointers from me Chu Xinghe?

Forget about the door, I've nailed the windows shut too!

I won't give you any chance to betray me!

"Huh?" Qin Xiangqian completely bewildered, but he had no doubts about Senior Brother Xinghe's statement that he was now the president. After all, such a small matter was just a matter of Senior Brother Xinghe arranging things with a casual remark.

"Don't be surprised. From now on, you are the president of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, all the development and operation of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce will be handled by you. Senior Brother Xinghe has faith in your abilities!"

Chu Xinghe smiled.

Qin Xiangqian looked bitter!

This chairmanship was something Qin Xiangqian had always dreamed of, but now that he's here, the problem is, the pressure is just too damn immense...

"Senior Brother Xinghe, putting aside the matter of the guild leader for now, I'm considering whether we should shut down a portion of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, send some of the remaining members home, and then reduce the benefits of the remaining members to be on par with other chambers of commerce..."

Qin Xiangqian was also at a loss at this point. The turnover of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce really couldn't support the salaries of so many people... So laying off some people and reducing salaries for others was the only option he could take.

But as Qin Xiangqian those words, Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants!

This Qin Xiangqian, oh Qin Xiangqian, you're supposed to know management, aren't you...?

You're laying off employees and cutting salaries without warning? What are you trying to do?

You just became the president today, and you've already jumped into the role in a second?

If you actually did that, do you know how much less money I'd lose every day?

So at this moment, Chu Xinghe disregarded everything else and shook his head directly, saying, "No!"

"Old Qin, the Vast Heaven Holy Land upholds benevolence and righteousness. You must never say such things again. Every person recruited by the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce is the best. When we were profitable, they made great contributions to us. Now that we have encountered such a small problem, our first thought is not how to solve the problem, but to get rid of those who have worked so hard for us?"

"Old Qin... if that's the case, then you're afraid it will be very difficult to keep your position as president!"

"And you're shutting down some of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce? Old Qin, have you forgotten how much the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce paid to occupy those places? It's easy for you to withdraw now, but have you considered how the outside world will view us by shutting down those chambers today? What will our loyal customers of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce think?"

"They will be disappointed in Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce; they will only think that Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has abandoned them! You know, once this kind of thinking takes root, no matter how much you do in the Future, Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce will never be able to reach its former heights, let alone surpass them!"

At this moment, after Chu Xinghe finished speaking, Qin Xiangqian was stunned.

Indeed, Qin Xiangqian was thinking about at this moment was how to minimize the losses, since Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce was losing too much money and Qin Xiangqian was finding it hard to cope.

Although the Grand Elder knew this wasn't Qin Xiangqian's fault and didn't hold Qin Xiangqian accountable, if a solution couldn't be found within a certain timeframe, then Qin Xiangqian would be the one to be dealt with.

The Grand Elder definitely needs to replace this president!

"You don't need to worry about the Grand Elder. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if the Grand Elder is truly angry, with me here, you won't have to bear his wrath!"

Chu Xinghe knew exactly what Qin Xiangqian was worried about. At this moment, Chu Xinghe was telling Qin, "You can rest assured, Old Qin!"

This time, you just need to let Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce suffer huge losses. No matter what storms the Grand Elder may cause, your Senior Brother Xinghe will take the blame for you. I will absolutely not let you, Old Qin, bear any responsibility for this!

Still planning to resort to pay cuts and layoffs?

With me, Chu Xinghe, here, nobody will shut down any Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, and nobody will lay off any Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce staff!

I, Chu Xinghe, said it!

"Thank you Xiangqian, Senior Brother Xinghe, but... if this loss continues..."

"No buts... Old Qin, you simply don't understand. A big loss is a big gain. What's this tiny loss today? We'll definitely make up for today's losses later. So, just go for it and do whatever you need to do. Don't have any psychological burden. No matter how badly you lose this time, Senior Brother Xinghe will be there to support you! You just need to believe that the storm will pass quickly, and after the rain, there will be a rainbow!"

Looking at his Senior Brother Xinghe in Qin Xiangqian's eyes welled up with tears of excitement...

Although he didn't quite understand what Senior Brother Xinghe was saying, Qin Xiangqian knew that he, as Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant, would always be Senior Brother Xinghe's second most trusted confidant. Senior Brother Xinghe must have a deeper meaning behind this!

Chu Xinghe didn't know what Qin Xiangqian was thinking. After seeing Qin Xiangqian off, Chu Xinghe looked at the Misfortune Compass, which was spinning wildly due to the losses of Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, and smiled.

Tell me, how am I supposed to lose this round?
