This place has a dock, which makes it suitable as a logistics transit point or entertainment center.
Could it be that they were trying to create some bad news and cause the land prices in Jinren Lane to drop?!
Then, they can acquire it?
Conan became interested.
This kind of daily life thing is not uncommon in society - but Xing is not an expert in business. If she intervenes in this dispute, how can she help?
Chapter 237 Golden Man Lane (2): Mel: Scott is interesting!
"Miss, let's leave this matter to our Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, shall we?" A woman who looked like a secretary stepped forward and grabbed Su Shang, who had spoken up for them.
"You guys are the ones handling this? That's hilarious!"
The company representative in the lead was arrogant, his voice filled with disdain, making you want to hit him.
"Everyone watching here knows that the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce is poorly managed and incompetent. Now the dock rent is still in arrears. Who are you blaming for this?"
"This is all your fault, the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce!" the representative became even more arrogant, practically looking down on everyone else!
[“…I don’t deny that.” The secretary lowered his head.]
“Then speak louder. Say, ‘The Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce owes everyone a debt of gratitude for screwing up the docks. The people in the Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce are all useless!’”
“Then kowtow loudly to me for the dates of overdue rent and apologize to me, the company’s representative!”
Xing grew increasingly furious as she listened—Is this person insane? Paying back debts is only natural, but he can't be so rude!
[If there weren't so many people around—Xing would have let him hear the sound of a home run immediately!]
"Hey, aren't you being too arrogant? Can't we discuss the overdue rent?"
[Su Chang stepped forward to protect the secretary who was a little nervous.]
The representative looked at Su Shang's insistence and deliberately changed his tone, "I'm not bullying you. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder—"
Then, he asked in a very aggrieved voice, "Excuse me—can the company recover the rent?"
【“...Not now.” The secretary couldn’t lift her head anymore.】
"The company has subleased the operating rights of this wharf to your Chamber of Commerce. We hope that Jinren Lane will prosper from now on... Look, such a good freight terminal is completely wasted~~~!!!"
[Xing's fists clenched—Can't this person speak properly? Why is he like this?]
·····
The world of the Battle of the Two Cities.
Mel looked at the light curtain with great interest - after looking at the world on the other side of the light curtain for so long, he finally saw something about business.
She was very interested—she was also very interested in the business practices of the Interstellar Peace Corporation throughout the universe.
As a businesswoman, she knew very well that money was only a tiny part - it was no easy task to open up all the connections, expand the company's business to the entire universe, and make everyone want to do business with the company.
The skill involved... is a technical job.
In her opinion, the current leading company representative is doing a very unskilled job...
As soon as the representative opened his mouth, Mel guessed eight out of ten.
The wharf, one of the most important nodes in Jinren Lane, has become the property of the company.
With so many shops in Jinren Lane, there must be a Chamber of Commerce - so the company rents to the Chamber of Commerce, achieving mutual benefit...
This is on the surface.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that the company definitely wants to swallow up this land.
The purpose of renting the wharf is to create an opportunity to make the Chamber of Commerce unable to pay back the money, and then take over the business.
But in Mel's opinion, this trick is too LOW.
Just as she understood it - in doing business, the most important thing is not money, but relationships and connections.
If you give the right gift to the congressman, everything will go smoothly - some people can even give the wrong gift and naturally be suppressed.
A place like Jinren Lane may look inconspicuous, but it is related to Tingyun Ferry Envoy and Bailu Longzun... not to mention other possible dignitaries.
After all, the rich and powerful might like this kind of food...
Even if this representative has an excuse to annex Jinren Lane because of debt, how many dignitaries will he offend?
How to do business in the future?
With this level of ability, can he become a company representative?
·····
[After all—this person said this, and even added body language, pretending to be at his worst… He’s clearly the most arrogant person!]
"Who says the Chamber of Commerce can't repay the debt? What if... what if it can repay the debt?"
After being driven mad by Scott, Su Shang didn't know how to respond.
"Oh, I don't even dare to think about it~~~" Scott trembled and said in a very mean tone.
[Su Chang almost wanted to grab a weapon - but the secretary held down Su Chang's sword-drawing hand.]
"Let's make a bet. If the Chamber of Commerce can pay back the company's rent, I'll bow my head and apologize in front of the people of Jinren Lane..."
The representative's voice grew louder, and he raised his hand, inviting everyone nearby to come and watch the fun.
"Not only that, I'm also going to loudly declare that I'm a blind idiot! I don't know my place, I only know how to bark!! - And then! I can only bark like a dog in front of you, how about that?"
"Great!" Su Shang heard this and immediately agreed. Such a good thing!
But after agreeing, she suddenly realized—this was a bet. What would be the punishment if she lost? "What if... I lose the bet?"
"It's so simple! You apologize to me in front of the whole village and bark like a dog in front of me!"
Xing almost wanted to rush over and tell Su Shang not to agree to it—it was too childish.
[However, the mood of eating melons and watching the show seemed to make her feet take root...]
"It's a deal!" Su Shang said firmly!
"Everyone heard it, I've been waiting for it. Hahahaha, let's go!"
[The company representative laughed heartily and walked away!]
······
2077 world.
V, who is a company employee—or rather, a former employee—was grinning from ear to ear!
Such arrogance, this is the kind of arrogance she has in her impression of company representatives, company specialists, etc.!
The method used by this company representative is too low-level - however, low-level also means commonly used and easy to use.
He is setting a trap for Su Chang!
If the representative wants to acquire this land, the most difficult part will probably be the shops.
It is easy to deal with financial disputes between chambers of commerce - as long as the chamber of commerce fails to pay the money on time, they are in the wrong and the representatives can take action against the chamber of commerce.
But small traders may not listen to you. If you say that you will use this land for other projects and they lose their place to live, how can they not fight with you?
This representative made a big fuss at the dock today, just to drag Su Chang of the Yunqi Army into the water!
As long as Su Shang gets involved - and if Su Shang loses, you, as a soldier of the Yunqi Army, have to keep your word, right?
There's nothing wrong with a few barking dogs, but this will greatly undermine the morale of the people in Jinren Lane!
Gradually, you will really lose to the company!
This reminded V of when Jack was still around and he was still an employee of the company...
When the big guys are fighting, I have to clean up their messes. In the end, I just become the paper that is thrown away after wiping them.
V sighed. Damn, corporate bastards! Nothing good ever comes of getting involved with this kind of capitalist tycoon!
Chapter 238 Golden Man Lane (3): Bucciarati: It’s not easy to run this business!
After everyone dispersed, Xing and Bailu went to Su Shang and the secretary to find out what happened.
[It turns out that the secretary's name is Zuo Mingxi, and she is the secretary of the Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce.]
[This incident at the Jinren Lane Wharf was originally a dispute between the Chamber of Commerce and the company, and has nothing to do with you.]
[And that arrogant company representative is called Scott.]
"Little Secretary, just speak frankly," the sulking dock worker reminded her.
"According to the current situation, Jinrenxiang Wharf is not doing well and cannot pay the rent for the time being," the secretary said helplessly.
Xing asked curiously, "The Chamber of Commerce manages Jinren Lane, but this dock doesn't belong to the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce is already heavily in debt to the company just for leasing the port."
Xing thought about it. She didn't know much about business, but at least the snack street business was pretty good, wasn't it?
"The snack business is still brisk, but other businesses and the operation of the wharf are struggling."
"If we can improve things, we can make money and pay off our debts, right?" Su Shang asked.
"Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure can increase the terminal's revenue. However, increasing revenue is currently difficult, and many shops in Jinren Lane are refusing to cooperate with the freight terminal..."
[Rejection and implementation indicate that open source is impossible, and "saving money" means reducing costs... But not all ports are open, and there is not much work for workers to do.]
[At this point, some workers immediately became angry and started shouting that layoffs were not allowed...]
"The secretary is also trying to figure it out. I'd say the efficiency of sending orders is a bit low right now. If they could put some thought into this, it would definitely save costs," a kindly older worker counseled.
Xing listened to everyone's words and vaguely guessed something...
