Chapter 376: Chapter 378: The Major Chambers of Commerce


    The person quickly led Qin Hao into the banquet hall.


    Inside, several bigwigs from Shuinan Province were chatting, including Zhu Huasheng.


    “Mr. Zhu, Mr. Qin has arrived,” the person said to Zhu Huasheng.


    Zhu Huasheng turned his head to look, smiled, and said, “Mr. Qin, we meet again.”


    The people around, upon hearing his words, became curious. Did Zhu Huasheng know Qin Hao before?


    Qin Hao reached out and shook his hand: “Mr. Zhu, you still look as impressive as ever.”


    “Compared to you young fellows, I’m already old,” Zhu Huasheng said with a sigh and a smile.


    Then he turned to the people present and said, “Everyone, please, quiet down.”


    There were roughly a hundred people in the banquet hall. Hearing Zhu Huasheng’s voice, all of them fell silent and turned to look.


    Zhu Huasheng spoke up, “This is Mr. Qin Hao from Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company and Xinghui Wine Company.


    He’s from Jiangshan in Shuinan Province. Today is the monthly business gathering, and I took this opportunity to invite Mr. Qin to come and join our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce.”


    There was a round of applause from the crowd. They had already heard about Qin Hao’s great reputation. If he joined the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, it would greatly enhance the strength of the chamber.


    Many companies would also have the chance to find Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company.


    Zhu Huasheng turned to Qin Hao and said, “Mr. Qin, on behalf of the entire chamber, I invite you to join the Jianghai City Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, would you be willing?”


    He was the founder of the Jianghai City Shuinan Chamber of Commerce and also the chairman.


    He initially created this chamber to resist the pressure brought by other chambers of commerce and to integrate resources for mutual benefit and joint development.


    There are currently over one hundred and sixty members in the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce, all from Shuinan Province.


    Some have branch companies here, some started directly here, and they have assets ranging from several million to several billion.


    Shenglong Group is the largest corporate group within the chamber, and Zhu Huasheng is also one of the older generation.


    Not only in Jianghai City does he have great prestige, but also in Shuinan Province he is one of the bigwigs.


    Qin Hao smiled and replied, “Of course I’m willing. I’ve always been unaware of such an organization. Had I known, I would have joined much earlier.”


    A person next to him said with a smile, “Mr. Qin, please do take care of us fellow townspeople in the future.”


    It’s not easy for outsiders to do business in Jianghai City, as they often face suppression from Sea Merchant, Zhe Business, and Su Business.


    Made from highland barley and following ancient brewing techniques, its unique blend of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors had attracted many.


    Many people felt that drinking this wine was like savoring life itself.


    All these represented the future competition for Xinghui Wine, and Qin Hao had briefly acquainted himself with them.


    Compared to these titans of white spirits, Xinghui Wine still seemed rather green.


    He poured himself some Gui Mao Wine, but no sooner had he finished than someone approached him for a conversation.


    Just then, the banquet hall’s doors were pushed open from outside, and people from the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce entered.


    Leading them was the head of Huaqing Group, Tang Group, and Ruixing Clothing Trading Group.


    Following them were a large number of Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce members, easily four or five hundred, and this was just a portion of them.


    The Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce was the largest in Jianghai City, with members numbering in the thousands.


    Within the chamber, there were many factions, and these people were of the faction aligned with Huaqing Group and Tang Group.


    Many among them had come to watch the developments.


    Seeing this, the members of the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce were taken aback. What was the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce doing?


    Mr. Zhu Huasheng saw the aggressive posture of the Sea Merchant contingent and was momentarily stunned, then he went over to confront them.


    His expression darkened as he said, “Mr. Xiao, what is the meaning of this? This is our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce’s banquet hall, not your Sea Merchant’s venue.”


    Xiao Zhi didn’t respond but looked toward Luo Feng, as they had primarily come to stand in solidarity with him.


    Many from other chambers of commerce had seen Qin Hao hit the head of the Sea Merchant’s Ruixing Group, and if they did not help Luo Feng save face, the reputation of the Sea Merchant Chamber of Commerce would be at stake, becoming the laughingstock of other chambers.


    Luo Feng spoke up, “Mr. Zhu, today’s matter does not concern you, I’m here for Qin Hao.”


    Mr. Zhu Huasheng firmly retorted, “Qin Hao is a member of our Shuinan Chamber of Commerce. His affairs are the affairs of the chamber. You say it doesn’t concern us?”


    “Exactly, Mr. Qin is one of us at the Shuinan Chamber of Commerce. His affairs are the chamber’s affairs.” Many within the Shuinan Chamber began to echo these sentiments.


    They had long been unhappy with the Sea Merchant Chamber’s suppression and now seized the opportunity to express their discontent.


    Qin Hao stepped forward, facing Luo Feng and the others with an unflustered expression, “Mr. Luo, what brings you to me?”
