Chapter 922: Stand Up

Zhang Xiaobai walked up to the stage slowly, with boos and applause.

They booed him because the new president cut off their financial resources.

The applause was mostly fake celebrations, with only a few friends sincerely congratulating them.

Among them was Li Xiongfei, who was sitting in the corner and was inconspicuous. He felt that this young man would bring a change to the business community in Tangcheng, a good change.

Tang Jing took the initiative to give up her seat.

Zhang Xiaobai sat in the middle, with two vice presidents on his left and right.

After a glance, Zhang Xiaobai said, "I am honored to be a member of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce, and even more honored to be the president of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce! Thank you for your support!"

"I won't talk big or set any goals. During my tenure as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I will do my best to serve the Chamber of Commerce, the entrepreneurs present, and the economic development of Tangcheng!"

"The road ahead is long and arduous, and we will keep moving forward!"

"Thank you all!"

After a few words, the speech ended!

Zhang Xiaobai stood up and bowed deeply.

There are some things that he didn't say, but he had them in his heart. He wanted to do a lot of things to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Change the public impression of Tangcheng merchants, promote the transformation of Tangcheng's economy, and improve people's living environment.

Not saying it because no one can understand!

After Zhang Xiaobai finished speaking, the main task of the conference was over. Tang Jing was about to say goodbye, and the illiterate boss Zhou raised his hand again.

Tang Jing asked: "Boss Zhou, what do you want?"

Boss Zhou stood up and said: "I have a question for the president!"

Tang Jing frowned, and Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Boss Zhou, please speak!"

Boss Zhou pulled the corner of his mouth, looked up at Zhang Xiaobai and showed a sarcastic smile.

"President Zhang, you keep saying that you serve the Chamber of Commerce and us, but why do you let us make less money?"

"You really played this trick well. We dare not speak out, but you still get benefits. To be honest, I admire you. Businessmen talk about other things, but money is real!"

"But I am disgusted with what you did today. You have done it, why are you pretending to express your feelings?"

"To put it bluntly, you want to be a whore and want to be a saint. Zhang Xiaobai, do you have the strength?"

At this moment, Boss Zhou was extremely angry. Although the mine at home was still open, it was not as good as before.

This Boss Zhou was a rough man, not so thoughtful. He couldn't stand Zhang Xiaobai's style, and he said it out when he was excited.

These words expressed the voices of many people, and some people stared at Zhang Xiaobai with indignation.

Zhang Xiaobai said calmly, "Boss Zhou, please sit down!"

Boss Zhou said angrily, "If you don't answer me, I won't sit down!"

Looking at such a straightforward boss, Zhang Xiaobai suddenly felt that he was cute.

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and said, "I said it was for Tangcheng's sake, do you believe it?"

A burst of boos sounded.

Boss Zhou said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head slowly and said solemnly, "It's really my real idea. If you don't believe me, I really can't do anything!"

Boss Zhou was about to speak, Li Xiongfei stood up from the corner and said, "Let me talk!"

Li Xiongfei's reputation is very high. When he speaks, no one dares to make a fuss.

Throughout the whole thing, Li Xiongfei, as an insider, has never expressed his opinion.

Everyone looked at Li Xiongfei, wanting to know his attitude.

Li Xiongfei was silent for a while and said, "Let me tell you something first. I have decided to close the Xiongfei Iron Mine and the ore dressing!"

Li Xiongfei's words exploded like thunder, and there was a burst of exclamations and discussions in an instant.

No one dared to believe it!

Li Xiongfei is a veteran in this industry. He started mining early, and then he started ore dressing. Almost all the villagers depend on Xiongfei Iron Mine for their livelihood.

Why did he close it?

Gradually calming down, Li Xiongfei smiled and said, "Unconsciously, I have been mining for ten years. It is no exaggeration to say that I have witnessed the development of this industry!"

"I have experienced the hardship of manual mining, the convenience brought by mechanical operation, the difficulties during the recession, and the huge profits when the industry rises!"

"I, Li Xiongfei, have seen the strong winds and heavy rains!"

When saying this, Li Xiongfei was very proud.

People applauded unconsciously.

Li Xiongfei continued, "No industry can be hot forever. This is the law of development of things!"

"In Tangcheng, more than 60% of the industries are related to the steel industry. In other words, the steel industry is the economic pillar of Tangcheng!"

"If, I mean if the steel industry collapses one day, how should we deal with it? Where should we go? The ancients said to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we should also think about retreat!"

Zhang Xiaobai looked at Li Xiongfei with a respectful look, and felt that his figure was very tall

It would be great if Xiaobao could see this picture. He would definitely be in awe and proud of his father.

There was silence in the audience, as if thinking, but also as if puzzled.

More people would not think about the future, but just want to make money in the present.

Li Xiongfei continued, "Xiaobai is my son's good friend. I know him very well and respect him very much. Now many people are dissatisfied with him, but I believe that one day, those who were dissatisfied with him will be grateful to him!"

After speaking, Li Xiongfei sat down again!

Zhang Xiaobai looked at Li Xiongfei gratefully, and the latter nodded.

At this moment, Li Xiongfei's speech was also a relief for Zhang Xiaobai!

Not only Zhang Xiaobai, but also some people expressed gratitude to Li Xiongfei.

The closure of Xiongfei Iron Mine means that some iron mines do not need to be closed for ore dressing.

At this moment, one person in the crowd quietly stood up.

There was another commotion, because the one who stood up was Shi Lei, Zhang Xiaobai's childhood friend.

Everyone knew his relationship with Zhang Xiaobai, but what did he want to say?

Shi Lei said: "Nothing else, I also want to say something, I also want to close Sanshi Iron Mine!"

"I am not as good as Uncle Li, and I don't have so many big principles. I don't know what will happen to the steel industry in the future, but I just stand up to support my buddy!"

"Because... what he said must be good!"

Before others could digest it, Shi Lei sat down after speaking.

In fact, Xiongfei Iron Mine and Sanshi Iron Mine did not have any crisis, and they could even guarantee that the amount would not be reduced, but they chose to share these amounts with others.

Now many people scold Zhang Xiaobai, and they expressed their support with practical actions.

Looking at his good brother, Zhang Xiaobai's eyes were a little wet.

For himself, he paid too much!

Zhao Tianhao also wanted to stand up in the corner of his eye, but Zhang Xiaobai quickly stopped him with his eyes.

Brother Hao has a family to support, and a bunch of brothers to support, so he can't sacrifice them for himself!

Zhao Tianhao understood, and with a sigh, he showed an apologetic look.

The first meeting of the Tangcheng Chamber of Commerce in 2006 officially ended.

For Zhang Xiaobai, there was joy, regret, and full of emotion.
