Chapter 176



176 Lu Chamber of Commerce

Lu mingling rubbed his temples and frowned as he looked at the chess game.

He was playing chess with his father, Lu tingyuan.

On the go board, the black pieces he was holding were being pushed back. However, he was not thinking about the chess game at all. He was thinking about something else. He had come to find his father today for this matter.

Seeing that the big dragon had been slaughtered and the situation was beyond saving, Lu mingling simply put down the chess piece. He leaned back and sighed to the sky.

“What’s the hurry? it’s not like there’s no chance of turning the tables.”

“But I don’t really want to turn the tables.”

“Then what are you thinking about?”

“I’m worried that I won’t be able to do it well.” Lu mingling said worriedly, ” I was worried that this would interfere with my cultivation.

Lu tingyuan also put down his chess piece and smiled as he shook his head.

“Father!” Lu mingling was a little unhappy. I’m here today to ask you for advice. Why did you keep holding me back and play chess the whole day? ”

“I just want you to calm down.” Lu tingyuan was still smiling.

“But I can’t calm down at all.”

“You’re still the same.”

“Father, quickly tell me.” Lu mingling sat up straight and urged.

“You can’t refuse this. Only a fool would refuse.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your fifth Grandpa personally told you about this matter, how could you refuse? The reason why you were able to Reach Foundation establishment was because of the clan’s assistance, so how could you not work for the clan?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to work for the family. Back then, I guarded the mine with my eldest uncle and almost lost my life! However, of all things, why did you have to make me the president of the family Chamber of Commerce? I’ve never come into contact with these things! Fifth grandfather is the family’s General Affairs elder, but you can’t just randomly assign people, right?”

If it was in the past, he wouldn’t have complained about people of his grandfather’s generation like this. However, he was already in the foundation building realm now, so his status was different from before. In addition, this matter was indeed a little against his will, so he said this in front of his closest family.

“I’m afraid that this is not your fifth grandpa’s idea.”

“Could it be the leader of the Wufu tribe?”

“Don’t make wild guesses.” Lu tingyuan touched his beard and said, ” you can’t refuse this. It might not be as bad as you think. Who in the family doesn’t know that you’ve never done business before? However, he still arranged for you to go. Naturally, he had his own intentions. Although I can’t figure out why for the time being, just do your best. As for your second question, you said it would delay your cultivation. Do you think you’re now the focus of the family’s training? You don’t need to do anything and you’ll have enough resources to cultivate?”

“It’s not Yingluo.”

“Don’t you just do it well? This was an opportunity that many people could only dream of! The Chamber of Commerce must be the focus of the family’s development in the future. Otherwise, why would they suddenly arrange for someone with a promising future like you to be the President of the Chamber of Commerce? “If you don’t know, then go learn. Your uncle tingbing and aunt xinting both work for the Chamber of Commerce. Be humble, learn from them, and do your best. In the future, when your importance in the family grows day by day, the more contribution you make, the more resources you will earn than the time you save to cultivate!”

Even though his son had already built his Foundation and was already in his fifties, Lu tingyuan still lectured him like that.

Ming Ling had a lot of faith in his father. After he heard everything, he bowed deeply and said, ” “I understand.”

……

Lu tingyuan was a very smart person. Since he was young, his mother, Lu Jinchao, had left with his father, Nian Kejun, to roam the world, leaving him alone in the family. He did not have his parents. He grew up under the care of his fourth uncle, Lu chaoling. He had been independent since he was young and had a good comprehension ability. Although he only had an ordinary three spiritual roots, his cultivation speed was not slow at all.

Unfortunately, before the age of 60, he did not manage to get the foundation building elixir, nor did he dare to try to build his Foundation at the last moment. Therefore, in this life, he would probably be stuck at the Qi refining stage.

Although his son, Lu mingling, also had three spiritual roots, he had a lightning spiritual root. Under his guidance, Ming Ling’s comprehension was very good and his cultivation speed was very fast. He became the leader of the Ming generation.

As for Lu mingling being appointed as the person in charge of the Lu Chamber of Commerce, his guess was correct. This was indeed not the intention of the fifth brother, Lu chaojun.

This was Lu Qing’s intention.

The reason why he chose Lu mingling was actually very simple.

When he was building the second industrial line, he decided to build a commercial industrial line in the form of a Chamber of Commerce.

The Lu Chamber of Commerce now had a rough model. After Lu Qing made some plans in the system’s industrial chain, it became even clearer.

It was divided into three parts-procurement, marketing, and transportation.

At present, the clan’s various purchases from the outside, such as special magic tools, pills, some materials, and even some drawings, were actually all purchased by the Chamber of Commerce. This was also the purchase.

The Lu clan would have their own shop to purchase some items in the long run. At the same time, they would also accept pawning and purchasing of nameless items, but this was a test of one’s judgment.

Apart from their own shops, the Lu clan would also purchase from other forces through the Chamber of Commerce if they had other needs.

As for the second part of marketing, he was in charge of selling all kinds of materials and finished products produced by the family. There were also two parts. One was the Lu family’s own shops, which were mainly concentrated in Pingyao and anling. In the future, anling would be the focus of development and would also be expanded to other regions. On the other hand, the Lu family could cooperate with other forces. It was like a business agent, directly supplying the goods to the affiliated families. It was up to them how they sold the goods, and the Lu family could just collect the money.

The transportation was for the above two modules, but the importance was not any less. The safety of the transportation route required strength to ensure. The Lu clan was very powerful in anling, but there were some muddleheaded bandits who dared to hide their identities and Rob even the Qingfeng sect’s Feiyun trading company and Husheng trading company when they could profit from it, let alone the Lu clan trading company.

The Lu clan’s cultivators would be in charge of all these.

After the construction of the business line was completed, Lu Qing could see that the clan’s income from business operations was initially more than 570 spirit stones a year. After the construction of the business line, the income increased by 9% to more than 620 spirit stones a year.

The most important thing was that there were too few business talents.

When he was choosing the candidates, Lu Qing took a look. If the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce was someone stronger, there would be a greater increase in strength.

It seemed that the system had determined that the strength of the head of the Chamber of Commerce would directly affect the performance of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, it was not suitable to choose chaoxi, mingchao, and Chaohe. Xueting was also in charge of the beast taming work in the clan. Therefore, Lu Qing could only choose between Ming Ling and Ting Chou.

The two of them were about the same. However, Lu Qing saw that Ming Ling’s evaluation of business potential was much higher than tingchou’s.

Clearly, the system thought that although Lu mingling was not good at doing business now, he would be able to grow in the future.

In that case, Lu Qing would choose him.

Other than him, Lu Qing also put Lu xinting, Lu tingbing, and a few other people who had worked in the Chamber of Commerce in the group.
