Ma Zhou looked around at the twelve chairs on both sides of the hall and saw that they were all filled with familiar people.
Between every two people, there is a small table with some biscuits, hot vegetables, pastries and other food on it.
For ordinary people, it is a relatively sumptuous dinner, but when placed in the county magistrate's office, it is a bit shabby.
However, none of the businessmen present showed any dissatisfaction.
They have long been tired of eating big fish and meat, and it is not unacceptable to eat simple food occasionally.
Besides, these sophisticated businessmen know some information about this commoner county magistrate.
Seeing that everyone was here, Ma Zhou turned his head and nodded towards Wang Jian on his right.
Immediately, Ma Zhou stood up, faced a pair of doubtful eyes next to him, and said calmly.
"Everyone, I invite you here this time because I intend to establish a business alliance."
"And you are the first batch of business alliance members that I have carefully selected. . ”
After Ma Zhou finished speaking, Huang Laosi and others looked around one after another. Seeing that the others also looked confused, they all turned their attention back to Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou walked to the center of the hall with his hands behind his back and looked at the merchants on both sides with confused expressions.
"The original intention of this business alliance led by me is to make Longmen County rich."
"I hope that everyone will bring more cheap goods from outside, and at the same time We sell all the goods in Longmen County at a good price."
...
Ma Zhou explained the relevant matters of the business alliance to the people present in detail. .
After Ma Zhou finished speaking, the merchants asked one after another.
"Magistrate Ma, what good will it do to us to establish a business alliance?"
"Yes, it seems that the business alliance established is of no use?"
"We usually do business, and the business alliance we established also does business. Nothing has changed. This..."
Ma Zhou did not interrupt them and listened to them quietly. demands.
After a while, the doubts slowly stopped.
Ma Zhou walked back to the main seat and signaled to Wang Jian that it was Wang Jian's turn to work.
The small actions of the two people were watched by everyone in the audience.
Everyone’s attention also shifted to Wang Jian.
It is human nature for businessmen to pursue profits.
Li Fugui's money and effort to support Ma Zhou is also an investment. What he reaps is not the current profit, but also the shade of a big tree.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.
Only with a big tree to protect you from the wind and rain can you live a stable life.
Wang Jian nodded towards Ma Zhou and stood up with a smile on his face.
First I introduced myself.
"Dear wealthy businessmen, I am Wang Jian from Majiazhuang. You must have heard of me."
Most people here have never seen Wang Jian. I've heard of such a person.
Besides, now that Wang Jian and Ma Zhou are sitting on the main seat together, they will not treat Wang Jian like a child.
These conspicuous bags began to show off their presence, and they complimented Wang Jian.
"Brother Wang is a young talent with a great reputation. Who knows!"
"The Majiazhuang well-drilling team also dug hundreds of wells for my fields, which cost a lot of money." Three hundred dollars..."
"Majiazhuang's business is getting bigger and bigger, but we old guys can be beaten to death on the beach."
Good guy. , and he always said good things.
Even though Wang Jian was a shameless person, they also made him blush.
After everyone complimented a few words, Wang Jian opened his mouth and explained, "Being a member of the business alliance, the most direct benefits are as follows."
"The first point is to stay together and share. Business opportunities."
"The second point is that the members of the business alliance are designated suppliers by the Longmen County government, and the government purchases materials from the members of the chamber of commerce first."
"The third point is that the government government purchases materials from the members of the chamber of commerce. platform and provide benefit protection."
...
Wang Jian did not wait for them to state the pros and cons one by one, but the first three points had already impressed the businessmen present.
So these people couldn't listen to what Wang Jian said later.
"Paying that little membership fee every month is nothing at all."
"And the membership fees paid are also used for their internal operations, so they don't suffer at all."

There is a huge pie in front of you, and if you don’t eat it, it’s free.
This group of businessmen were greatly moved and asked to join the Longmen County Business Alliance and become the first batch of members.
"Magistrate Ma, I, Li Fugui, was the first to join the Business Alliance."
"I, Zhu Youcai, also joined the Business Alliance."
"... "
The 12 businessmen at the scene stood up one after another and strongly applied to Ma Zhou to join the business alliance.
"Okay, since everyone agrees to join the Business Alliance, I declare that the Longmen County Business Alliance is officially established today."
There is no circle without rules, and the Business Alliance also needs someone to take the lead.
Ma Zhou announced on the spot that he was the president, Wang Jian was the vice president, and the rest were members.
This decision was unanimously approved by everyone present.
Ma Zhou is the county magistrate, and he deserves to be the president.
Wang Jian is backed by Majiazhuang, and he is also a guest of Magistrate Ma, and he also serves as the vice president.
As for the others, they are all members, and their equal status is also suitable.Reason, no objection to this.
"President, Vice President, where is the headquarters of our business alliance?"
Li Fugui touched his fat belly and burped.
This guy ate all the food on the table into his stomach.
Looking at the expression on his face as he licked his mouth, those who didn’t know it thought he was eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Zhu Youcai couldn't bear it when he saw that Li Fugui had taken the lead again and was at a disadvantage.
Without waiting for Ma Zhou to answer, he stood up quickly.
"It is not appropriate to place the headquarters of the business alliance in the county magistrate's office. If it is too simple, it will fall into our class."
"I think it is better for the twelve of us members to jointly fund it. Let’s build a new headquarters in the county.”
Zhu Youcai’s suggestion was recognized by everyone.
"I agree."
"I also agree. Each company doesn't have to pay much money to build a new headquarters."
Others nodded in agreement. and, in favor of this proposal.
The reason why they come out to hang out is because of their background. The fact that the headquarters is so shabby is also a slap in their face.
The matter of building a new business alliance headquarters has been decided.
With Li Fugui and Zhu Youcai’s two positive and conspicuous packages, the location of the merchant alliance headquarters was quickly determined, which was located on an open space three hundred meters away from the county government office.
That night, Ma Zhou wrote a letter and systematically wrote out the causes and consequences of the establishment of the business alliance in Longmen County.
Someone was sent to Chang'an early the next morning.
The recipient was surprisingly Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
As the business alliance started construction with great vigor.
The news that Ma Zhou led several lowly businessmen to form a business alliance also spread in Longmen County.
Longmen County government office, after the court meeting.
Before leaving for duty, Wang Ren stopped in front of Ma Zhou.
He glanced sideways at Ma Zhou and said in a sinister tone.
"Magistrate Ma, if you don't have any money, I can lend you a hundred or dozens of coins."
"What kind of business alliance are you leading a bunch of losers? The people outside , but everyone treats our county government as a joke."
"Magistrate Ma, you have done such a good job, but you have disgraced our county government!"
Wang Renbian said. Bian patted his face gently.
After finishing speaking, he hummed a little tune and walked out of the county office in a happy mood.
Ma Zhou didn't care, he just stared at Wang Ren's back with narrowed eyes, his expression thoughtful.
The county captain Zhang Gong also looked at Ma Zhou in confusion.
For the dignified county magistrate to hang out with a group of businessmen is undoubtedly making a fool of himself.
This laid a stain on his future promotion.
But he didn’t say muchtalk.
Zhang Gong bowed to Ma Zhou with clasped fists and left with tiger steps.
