Wei Deqian of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce!
Wei Deqian walked in front, and his subordinates even carried a chair specially made for Wei Deqian.
What the heck? Don't you think Wei Deqian is being a bit too pretentious, bringing his own chair?
This isn't because Wei Deqian is putting on airs; it's mainly because Wei Deqian weighs around 400 pounds, and ordinary chairs simply can't fit him anywhere. So, wherever Wei Deqian goes, he has to bring his own chair.
Of course, not all places have them by default.
When Chu Xinghe first entered the Vast Heaven Holy Land and caused trouble during procurement, he was facing Wei Deqian.
In the Vast Heaven Holy Land, no matter how uncomfortable the chairs were, Wei Deqian didn't dare bring his own.
As the president of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, Wei Deqian was a wealthy businessman back then.
Otherwise, do you think just anyone is qualified to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Sect back then?
Moreover, it wasn't just the Vast Heaven Sect; more than half of the Ten Great Sects in the world had cooperated with the Daxing Chamber of Commerce in the past.
Even the various preparations for Feng Fei's wedding were handled by Wei Deqian's Daxing Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Deqian truly benefited from Chu Xinghe's influence!
When Chu Xinghe was to be punished after the procurement incident, Wei Deqian truly understood the political climate; his words were watertight. It was precisely because of Wei Deqian's performance that he won Feng Fei's praise.
Therefore, over the years, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has always been at the forefront of all procurement for the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
Although the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce rose to prominence and immediately impacted the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, the latter was not the first to suffer a significant blow.
But Wei Deqian is truly a remarkable person.
When the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce rose to prominence, chambers of commerce from all over the world discussed how to counter Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
Some chose to learn from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, while others tried every means to oppose it.
Their fate was self-evident.
With the Vast Heaven Holy Land as its backing, how could they possibly shake the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce? Those who tried to extort money from them all ended up losing everything!
Even those who studied under the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce found it difficult to grasp the essence of certain things. Not everyone possessed the profound resources of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so ultimately, they did not fare well.
But Wei Deqian was different. While various parties were discussing how to counter or learn from Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of Commerce, Wei Deqian directly transformed and reorganized Daxing Chamber of Commerce!
Wei Deqian immediately abandoned almost 90% of the stores in the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, leaving only a very few stores with relatively high profits.
Subsequently, Wei Deqian's Daxing Chamber of Commerce underwent a transformation, shifting from sales to raw material processing and supply!
When Wei Deqian made this decision, many elders of the Chamber of Commerce said, "President, are you crazy?"
If our Daxing Chamber of Commerce were to undergo such a transformation, we would only be able to supply materials to others. Without our own sufficient market space, wouldn't we be easily manipulated by others?
It seems that by shifting our focus to supplying various raw materials to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, we've avoided direct confrontation. But what if one day the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce us after using us?
Wouldn't that leave our Daxing Chamber of Commerce at the mercy of others?
Wei Deqian's meaning Elder Yu's statements was very clear. "Wei Deqian Elders, times have changed!"
I, Wei Deqian, won't comment on what businessmen were like in the past, but the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce that Chu Xinghe built is a completely new entity. It's a place where every employee is treated like family, with all sorts of crazy benefits and perks. As long as our Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce Daxing Chamber of Commerce doesn't do anything outrageous, would he choose to manipulate us?
Many businessmen initially thought Wei Deqian's words were simply wishful thinking, as it meant handing over one's fate to others.
But as it turns out, Wei Deqian not only did not leave his fate to others, but Wei Deqian also firmly grasped his own destiny!
Immediately after completing its transformation, Daxing Chamber of Commerce became Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce's largest raw material supplier. Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce offered the highest prices in the industry to Daxing Chamber of Commerce. Of course, Daxing Chamber of Commerce did not dare to compromise on the quality of its raw materials.
With the two parties now fully cooperating, Wei Deqian will always control the majority of the supply of various raw materials for Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce has never lowered the price of any raw materials for Daxing Chamber of Commerce for any external reason. On several occasions, when the price of raw materials dropped, Wei Deqian took the initiative to go to Vast Heaven Holy Land to express that since the price of raw materials had decreased, the payment for the goods should also be reduced accordingly!
As for Wei Deqian's actions, the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable immediately stepped forward to personally criticize Wei Deqian!
The Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable retorted, "You fat bastard, what the hell are you talking to me about? What the hell is this about raw material prices decreasing and needing to reduce payments?"
How come I've never heard of Azure Dragon?
Our Civil Engineering Department doesn't care about external prices. The price we set is the price! You won't get a single penny less...
Get your resources and get as far away as you can! Do whatever you want with these resources, just don't even think about leaving them in our Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Then came the issue of rising raw material prices. Wei Deqian thought about it and realized that since they hadn't deducted money when prices were lowered last time, it wouldn't be appropriate for them to ask for more money this time.
But before Wei Deqian could even leave the Haotian Mountain Range, he was caught up by the Azure Dragon and a group of the Civil Engineering Department!
Good heavens! The Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable roughly threw truckloads of resources at Wei Deqian, then declared that Wei Deqian was nothing but a shameless and unscrupulous businessman!
You, Wei Deqian, a shrewd businessman, have you lost all your conscience?
The price of raw materials has gone up! Why shouldn't you Wei Deqian, raise your prices? Are you trying to rip off our Vast Heaven Holy Land?
These resources are the ones we added to your price based on the highest price increase from outside... You, Wei Deqian, a shrewd businessman, still want to earn less from our Vast Heaven Holy Land's resources!
Let me tell you! Not a chance! You swindler, take your resources and get as far away from me as possible!
Wei Deqian, stunned by the criticism, left with the resources in tears... Wei Deqian been called a profiteer before, but he never dreamed that one day he would be called a profiteer for not raising prices.
Therefore, the cooperation with Vast Heaven Holy Land came about. When prices rise outside, Vast Heaven Holy Land raises them accordingly. When prices fall outside, Vast Heaven Holy Land absolutely refuses to lower its procurement prices!
The Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable declared that absolutely no merchant could possibly lose a single resource from our Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Everyone knows that the number one business association in the Four Continents is the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, but few people know that, through comprehensive cooperation with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has moved from the forefront to the background!
As Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce expanded across the Four Continents, Daxing Chamber of Commerce also became the largest material supplier in the Four Continents. The title of the second largest chamber of commerce in the world had already quietly fallen on Daxing Chamber of Commerce of Commerce.
Those who predicted Wei Deqian's career transition would fail back then are now realizing that sometimes choice is far more important than effort!
Wei Deqian was definitely among the first to curry favor with the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
At this moment, with the arrival of Wei Deqian, Liu Yuanhong subconsciously stood up.
As a businessman, Liu Yuanhong is successful; after all, he is the richest man in Star City.
But only businessmen truly understand how legendary Wei Deqian is in the business world. Who among them can simply enter the Vast Heaven Holy Land at will, or meet the Grand Elder of the Vast Heaven Holy Land with just a slight appointment?
Do you think just anyone can get the honor of being called a profiteer by the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable?
Ordinary people don't even deserve to be glanced at by the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable.
Wei Deqian, the "Little God of Wealth," is an absolute legend among businessmen and Liu Yuanhong's idol!
Not to mention Liu Yuanhong, even Zhao Taixing stood up at this moment. Although Wei Deqian was just a businessman, after the rise of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce in recent years, you don't really think that the Daxing Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, do you?
Without the protection of various top-tier experts, how could the Daxing Chamber of Commerce possibly safeguard its vast wealth?
Take a look at those two men behind Wei Deqian who are carrying chairs. Don't they look like Seventh Rank Martial Warrior?
It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of overall strength, a mid-level force like the Thousand Crane Sect is definitely inferior to the Daxing Chamber of Commerce!
Moreover, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Anyone who wants to touch the Daxing Chamber of Commerce must first ask the Vast Heaven Holy Land if they are willing.
So today, let alone Zhao Taixing, even if Meng Zhen, the sect leader of the Thousand Crane Sect, were here, he would be overshadowed by Wei Deqian.
"President Wei, it's been a while since we last met, but you're still as impressive as ever!" Zhao Taixing at this moment.
"It's Old Zhao... Old Zhao, you're probably going to rise to great heights this time!" Wei Deqian glanced at Zhao Taixing. Clearly, given the strength of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, Wei Deqian must already know that Zhao Taixing had accepted Liu Cheng's offer.
That's why he said the phrase "soaring to great heights"!
Zhao Taixing didn't say much, just smiled slightly.
"Brother Liu Bo, I promised to send you some local specialty roast chicken from my hometown last time. I heard you're home visiting relatives today, so I specially brought it for you..."
Wei Deqian waved his hand, and then his men brought over a dozen roast chickens wrapped in oil paper!
Many Liu Lineage were stunned when Wei Deqian actually delivered roast chicken!
After all, it's common knowledge that local specialties can sometimes exude an air of extravagance and luxury...
But no one expected that Wei Deqian, the president of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, would actually send local specialties...
"Thank you very much, Chairman Wei. I've long heard that your family's roast chicken is famous, and I'm so glad to have the chance to try it now."
Liu Bo waved for the Liu Lineage family servants to accept the roast chicken.
This is where Wei Deqian's cleverness lies. Was it that Wei Deqian couldn't afford to give away various treasures?
On the contrary, Wei Deqian is incredibly wealthy and powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Deqian could easily ruin Liu Yuanhong, the richest man in the city, with a single move!
So what kind of treasures wouldn't Wei Deqian give as gifts? But when it comes to gifts, you have to consider who you're giving them to. If you really prepared several truckloads of precious resources for Liu Bo, would Liu Bo even want them?
Will Liu Bo want it?
What's the point of a precious gift if you can't give it away?
On the contrary, these dozen or so roast chickens are not worth much money, but sending a goose feather from afar is a small gift with great sentiment.
At the same time, this was something Wei Deqian had promised to give to Liu Bo last time. The fact that Wei Deqian specially sent it this time proves that Wei Deqian took his promise to Liu Bo to heart. So what may seem like a dozen or so roast chickens is actually a testament to Wei Deqian's commitment to keeping his word and his great respect for Liu Bo.
This is far more valuable than several truckloads of precious resources!
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Wei Deqian's ability to build the Daxing Chamber of Commerce into the second-largest in the country was not just due to luck, but more so to his ability to read people and situations!
"Brother Liu, I've come here not just to bring you roast chicken. I, Fatty Wei, have heard that your father is the richest man in Star City, so I've come to see if I can learn a thing or two from him. If you would be so kind as to cooperate with the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, I would be even more honored!"
As Wei Deqian greeted Liu Yuanhong, he began to speak, revealing the true grand gift Wei Deqian intended to offer—a gift that Liu Bo could not refuse under any circumstances...
