Chapter 828: 823 Reasons for Joining the Chamber of Commerce

This number was already astronomical for them.

At the same time, after Chairman Yin had collected the capital his company needed, his gaze hadn’t left Gu Chen.

It seemed as though he was observing Gu Chen’s reaction to hearing that number.

However, Gu Chen appeared indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard at all.

The other two chairmen nearby also seemed pensive at that moment.

Later, Chairman He began, "My products don’t need two million, but they do require about one million and a half.

Yet this money would only suffice to cover the costs I’ve already invested.

The crux of the matter is that these agricultural products are still unsaleable and can only decay slowly in my warehouse."

"Moreover, if we can’t find new distributors, our company won’t be able to operate normally in the future.

After all, if no one cooperates with our company and accepts any of our products, we won’t be able to sell."

But what he needed now was not merely financial.

He needed a distributor who could help him solve his company’s future troubles.

After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded, understanding what they all needed now.

Next, he turned his gaze toward the final, taciturn Chairman Huang.

His intuition told him that their needs were substantial as well.

"Our company might need the most, almost around three million."

When he stated this number, Gu Chen wasn’t surprised, for a simple reason.

They had become the leading enterprise in aquaculture.

Thus, their capital chain was massive and they needed even more working capital.

The bigger the company, once losses occur, those losses are not small figures.

After hearing their needs, Gu Chen understood exactly how much they needed.

The three of them together needed a total of six million and five hundred thousand.

It could be said that this was definitely not a small figure; such an amount of money would be sufficient for a very large company.

At that moment, Gu Chen looked at them but didn’t rush to give them any answer.

Brother Zhu Zi also took this opportunity to speak.

"Director Gu, aren’t you currently forming a business association? Although these three may not qualify at present,

the future of their companies is still very promising.

So, I can bring them to meet you now.

Look at whether there are any other problems.

All these enterprises are very well-known locally.

It’s just that they have all encountered commercial competition or internal accidents. If we let them disappear from the local scene like this, it would actually be quite a pity," said Brother Zhu Zi to Gu Chen at that time.

From Brother Zhu Zi’s expression, it was clear he wasn’t merely uttering pleasantries.

He genuinely felt it would be a pity if this company were to collapse.

Gu Chen also picked up on Wu Da’s underlying intent behind his remarks.

He clearly wanted to tell Gu Chen that reviving these three companies could be very profitable.

Of course, after they made money, Gu Chen wouldn’t take a cent from them.

However, after they made money, the company would operate normally, and if capable, the company would definitely achieve higher success. From a long-term perspective, this was a very worthwhile project to invest in. Should they one day truly rise, it would mean the business association had gained three more strong members.

It would be akin to planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade.

As long as these people all regained their strength and became stronger,

then when newcomers joined the business association in the future, they could even directly support these newcomers.

Gu Chen understood the rationale behind this, and he knew that Old Zhang’s purpose in introducing them was precisely this.

However, at this time, Gu Chen was still very cautious and prudently mentioned,

"I don’t know about your individual capabilities within your companies.

But such an investment is not a small sum, after all, and I’d like to hear what your views on the business association are."

Gu Chen didn’t discuss the financial issue much with them but inquired about their opinions on the business association he might soon manage.

The reason he did this was that he wanted to understand their attitude.

It’s not possible that he would help them today and they would all leave tomorrow.

If that were the case, he would truly be at a loss.

Therefore, Gu Chen felt that asking about their true intentions was a very important step.

They looked at each other, none of them willing to speak first on this issue.

After all, something like a business association was still somewhat distant to them.

They had basically never thought that one day they would join a business association.

At the peak of their enterprises, business associations had extended olive branches to them, inviting them to join.

But at that time, they were all too proud, capable of making money on their own—why join a business association and then accept its constraints?

If they had joined the business association back then, they might not have these problems now.

"I strongly suspect that the one targeting our company’s industry is a member of a business association and that many people are helping him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to do it so flawlessly."

At that moment, the usually silent Chairman Huang was the first to speak up.

After he finished speaking, Gu Chen glanced at him. This man spoke very honestly, without beating around the bush.

Gu Chen hesitated and didn’t make any decision for him.

Soon after, the other two also shared their views about the business association, which were essentially similar to Chairman Huang’s with not much difference.

It could be said that they were all trying out of desperation to join the business association to help them solve this problem.

Especially in terms of financial issues, they were severely lacking, or else they wouldn’t have considered going to the bank for loans.

"I can help you get through this tough time, but in the future, you all owe me a favor," Gu Chen said to them.

After Gu Chen finished speaking, they instantly seemed somewhat bewildered as they looked at Gu Chen.

It was as if they were questioning whether Gu Chen was joking with them now.

After all, several million just based on Gu Chen’s personal capability—could he really produce such a substantial amount of working capital?

You have to know that even a tens of millions level company cannot easily produce several million in cash.

And is Gu Chen’s Ping’an Real Estate really making that much money?
