Power and Empire Chapter 3397: The arrow has left the string (5)

The sunny sky in Lisbon at the end of April made the blue sky that was already set off by the sea more pure. In the headquarters of the Lisbonto Business Union in the white marble arches, the staff of the Lisbonto Business Union are more skilled than Herro Open an application for a new chamber of commerce. As a professional responsible for approving the registration of the new chamber of commerce, Biero has four years of work experience. His eyes are on the name of the chamber of commerce, and he just paused and swept over." Chamber of Commerce..."Very unique name. After several years of approval, he has seen all kinds of weird names. As long as the application conditions are met, the business alliance does not restrict the name of the chamber of commerce, unless It’s an offense to the imperial law

For example, the Smuggler Chamber, defeating the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, the Imperial Emperor is the Pig Chamber of Commerce, these ridiculous names are not unheard of by Biero, and there are still quite a few. The biggest influence of the empire on conquering regions is The original nobles had to find other ways to survive, and most of the nobles eventually turned to the ranks of merchants. The nobles who have just joined the ranks of merchants will naturally not have too much of the empire that has caused their status to be ruined. Although I dare not face the countless swords and swords of the Empire, it is not impossible to scold the Empire by taking the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

This is also the most terrifying part of the empire. Vieiro has seen a businessman who needs to scold the empire, and in a short period of time, he changed his position, from being an anti-empire to a hard-core supporter of the empire. To put it bluntly, the empire is strong and can bring them greater wealth. Their interests are linked to the empire by joining the business alliance. To damage the empire is to damage their interests. People are such strange animals. Live, in a blink of an eye, love to die and live. The identity of the imperial merchant is their protector. The ferocious sword of the imperial army, the more ferocious, the more it can straighten the waist of the imperial merchants

Like the financial volatility in Lisbon some time ago, it almost destroyed 80% of the iron ore merchants in Lisbon. If it weren’t for the strong and decisiveness of the Lisbon government office, it would directly mobilize the army to remove a few wealthy businessmen who did not follow the rules. Disposal, it is absolutely impossible to let that fluctuation pass so easily,

"Is there a problem?"

At this moment, standing in front of Vieiro is a mediocre middle-aged man. His temples are already showing a bit of white, his figure is thin, his skin looks dark, and he looks a little nervous. This is normal. Anyone is about to become a chamber of commerce. This is the case with the president, and more than Eero used his experience to see through. This kind of middle-aged person should have been a subordinate of a certain chamber of commerce, and now he has separated himself from the merchant. This kind of person is not uncommon in Lisbon. Although this is an era where everything depends on carriages and feet, the true president of the Chamber of Commerce does not need to travel outside. Those who are really busy outside are just like the middle-aged man in front of him, a person who goes out to sea all year round. It may be a month or two, or even half a year, or even longer to go out to sea. Under the wind and rain and the waves, after a few years, it will basically be like the middle-aged man in front of me.

"Don't be nervous, there is no problem with the materials, the first audit is fully qualified!"

Vieiro said, with a bald head and a smiling face, wearing the silver-gray dress of the business alliance staff, it looks a little bit happy. "Your declaration conditions are fully qualified, but I still need to explain to you Let’s take a look at the content that must be followed to join the business alliance, because this is the key to the second review."

Piero picked up the seal next to him, collected it on the red inkpad, then raised his hand to stamp the seal on the declaration materials, and at the same time handed a thick stack of business alliance manuals along with the documents. As a member of the business alliance, you must abide by the rules of the business alliance. If you violate the rules of the business alliance more than three times, you will be warned. If it reaches five times, you will be expelled from the business alliance. The second review is only held on Wednesday and Friday every week. The content is a written test of the business alliance manual. If it is higher than 80 points, it is qualified, and it is less than 80 points. It is a pity. Only please come back next week. "

"The manuals you mentioned are not the ones in front of you, right!"

The middle-aged man's face was a little surprised, his eyes swept over the rules and regulations of the business alliance that was nearly half a foot thick in his hand, and he took a breath of air. Is this a manual? Whose hand is this big! Oh my god, isn’t it just a business guild? How can it be more complicated than the annual assessment of the captain of the Imperial Navy. He just flipped through it and was shocked. Not only did it impose strict requirements on the operation of the chamber of commerce, but even the chamber of commerce. The business conditions, the number of recruits, labor hours, product specifications, quantities, prices, and tools used. Guarantee product quality and strictly prohibit fraud. Once discovered, immediately expel from the business alliance. For the imperial merchants, it is almost overnight Empty

Be aware that with the rapid expansion of the empire’s influence throughout the world, the idea that merchants were originally a lowly occupation is also changing. Moreover, in this era, manual labor is not a sign of lowliness. It is highly respected by society, especially This is especially true of technological innovations. This honor is earned by providing honest labor to the society. For example, "things made by tanners, coopers, and shoemakers must be'just'; the wood, leather, and thread used by craftsmen must be'real'; baked bread must be'fair' once it appears" technically "Shortcomings and adulteration", it will "destroy the public's credibility

But what makes middle-aged people feel a little harder to believe is that the business alliance, as a general guild, is a place where wealthy businessmen gather. It actually promotes equality among businessmen, whether it is small businessmen, workshop owners, large businessmen, or wealthy businessmen. In their mutual relations, they all recognize that they are equal and that they are united "for a common cause." If there is a dispute, it must be handled by a referee of the business alliance. Forgive each other and discard old grievances. Although quarrels will inevitably occur between chambers of commerce, such quarrels must not evolve into hatred. We must "forget about the hatred that may arise, and swear by bread and salt, never treat this hatred in the wrong spirit, and fines and half of the wealth. They will also be distributed to the poor of the empire. Except for the special management of the thirteenth deacon, other deacons have no right to intervene,

And the chamber of commerce in the same city, "We have to meet once a year to discuss personnel salaries. If it is not clearly written in the documents that we have seen with our own eyes, the middle-aged person can hardly believe it, and he has never recognized it in his heart. The businessmen still have such regulatory responsibilities,

He does run around at sea all year round, but there is one thing that Biero did not expect. It is not necessarily merchants who run at sea, but also officers of the Imperial Navy, and the middle-aged man in front of him is from the former Imperial Navy. The officer, and the admiral of a Dragon Tooth battleship, retired from the Imperial Navy after being wounded in the final battle of the Feshan Navy. Because of the contradiction between the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army, it is difficult for the Imperial Navy officers to enter the army system after retiring. The Secretary of the Navy Dusterenkai approached Tirnarante. Finally, the former Imperial Navy officer was transferred to the Lisbon Too government office. He just recovered and reported to the Lisbon Too government office and received Tirnarante. I personally arranged this task

I thought everything would be fine after submitting the review materials, but I didn't expect the so-called written test!

This was done on a whim by the fat man at the beginning. The purpose was to make every chamber of commerce that joined the business alliance easy to manage. However, the size of the business alliance was only in the southern part of the Vicia area, and it was just a small regional business organization. Ten years of development, the business alliance has long been different from what it used to be. From a small regional business organization to a behemoth spanning three continents, the total number of chambers of commerce in the business alliance was only 79, but now the business organization The total number of alliance registrars has exceeded 400,000, and this number is still increasing every year,

So it was really just a handbook for slap slaps at the beginning. Now it has become a thick stack of half a foot high. If the fat guy saw this, he would probably faint! He is not a **** after all. The little things that were made on a whim at the beginning are just things like work manuals, and they will develop to the present level.

When Socutus Dealand served as the Deacon Thirteen, she also proposed to amend this issue, but unexpectedly met with collective opposition from the other twelve deacons, even in the face of the cruel Deacon Thirteen. , Still stood up unanimously

"As the premier super commercial organization in the entire mainland, the business alliance should look like the number one in the mainland, and no cat or dog can be added at will!"

"The development of the business alliance to this day is the result of these rules and regulations. If the rules and regulations are not strict, if one person acts arbitrarily, it will be the efforts and efforts of all people to destroy it!" The deaconess who had a good relationship with Socutus Delan gritted her teeth, stood up from her seat, and explained in a condensed voice, "The deacon of the entire business alliance is not opposed to Miss Delan. Please don’t get me wrong on this point. It is the rules of the business alliance that must be followed. After all, as a business guild, it is an organization that protects the interests of the industry and helps each other. The most problematic is the arbitrary actions of one or two internal chambers of commerce, causing the entire guild to be damaged."

"Yes, after all, the chambers of commerce joining the alliance are a mixture of dragons and snakes, large and small, and the prices and quality of the same products are completely different. The essence of the merchant is to pursue the best interests and be regarded as shoddy. It has become a common method to arbitrarily lower prices to impact opponents, and it is a whim. Once a chamber of commerce has such a problem, the credibility of the entire business alliance will be shaken. If it occurs several times, who will believe in the business alliance? It’s absolutely intolerable for everyone to be dragged down because of one person!" Another deacon grunted with a sullen expression,

Finally, under the collective opposition of all the deacons, this rule was retained, and it is still being revised every year according to the new situation. The empire’s business alliance has developed to a considerable extent, just like an autonomous object. , Wanting to intervene forcibly, the damage caused is far greater than the construction, which is another reason why the fat man chose to establish a separate Imperial Bank

This is why, Socutus Delan is just a flamboyant and seemingly non-executing notice. One charge of trade fraud has allowed six powers to control the China-Belarusian gold business. The large chamber of commerce with tens of thousands of funds flowed out of the army in one morning. Everyone was disgusted.

The name of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce appeared on the notice in front of the Business Alliance Hall on Wednesday afternoon to hang the nameplate. The notice was posted with the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce and the names of the eleven newly joined chambers of commerce. In the business alliance hall where people come and go, people only occasionally take a look at the name on the notice. New chambers of commerce join every week. Who will pay attention to these all the time?

At this moment, the six figures in the headquarters of the Azure Chamber of Commerce are also nervously circulating a document signed by the Lisbon Trust Government Office

"Everyone, the document promised by the Lisbon Government Office is right in front of you, so it's okay to take a gamble with all your strength! It's better than just sitting and waiting like this!" The president of the Bilan Chamber of Commerce looked at it with a gloomy look. The heads of several other chambers of commerce sounded loudly and the windows shook graciously. "Two months~IndoMTL.com~ Although it is a bit shorter, according to the financial resources of our six chambers of commerce, I believe it will at least be able to win the territory of Yelu’s house. 70% of the industry. We spent so much effort and danger, finally forcing Berrant Bonnie of the North African Army to promise not to sign any Sino-Bahia trade affairs within two months. Isn’t the passage permission just for this moment?’

"In Central Biya, the Yelv family has announced the decision to fully open up trade. The northern part of Central Biya controlled by the northern steppe people headed by the Yelv family is the most productive region in Central Bia. We have obtained a lot in the past, but it is definitely not as thorough as this time, a completely open Yelu family, not to mention, since Yelu Qiyeguang was wiped out by the Beiwang Court in the First Battle on the Grassland, Yelu Family has already been like this. The new royal status, this time with the Yelv family opened up, and our business road to the North Grassland and Dongqi! Since the cold winter last year, people in the cold have also contacted us several times, if this business If the road can be opened up, you can imagine that the silks of China and Biya, the horses of the steppe people, and the best animal skins of the cold people will not be taxed for two full years..."

"Enough, my Lancia Chamber of Commerce bet this, five million Imperial Gold participation funds, I will do everything I can to get it!" A short and stout Chamber of Commerce president made up his mind and shouted. With a sound, I closed the documents in hand, the strength of the Lisbon Trust Government Office, the commendation of the first princess of the empire, and the countless wealth in the direction of China and Biya, finally made the six chambers of commerce determined to make a final fight
