Chapter 894: 889 Chamber of Commerce Membership Fee

Gu Chen had said this to him.

After Gu Chen had finished speaking, he could see that he was staring intensely at Gu Chen.

Xiong Qianyang actually felt a bit perplexed himself.

Previously, he had known somewhat about how many assets Gu Chen had.

It was certain that at that time, Gu Chen had only a few million at most.

Not much time had passed since their last meeting.

In such a short period of time, how could Gu Chen have accumulated so much wealth?

He found it incredible and couldn’t understand the reason.

According to his guess, Gu Chen should not have been so wealthy.

But now it seemed that Gu Chen had much more than just a few million—it was probably unstoppable even at tens of millions.

"Boss Gu, may I boldly ask what exactly is going on with you now?" he also asked curiously.

After all, the current situation was really extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s face briefly changed slightly.

It felt as if he hadn’t planned to disclose these matters originally.

Yet now, he had thought it over again and again.

He felt that the matter was something that could be discussed or not.

However, in the end, he knew that it was better to discuss many things with Xiong Qianyang.

"I still primarily operate in the liquor business.

Since we collaborated with a big company like Maotai Liquor, we’ve been on the rise,

and now we’ve even created many miracles numerous times."

Gu Chen said this simply.

When he heard about Gu Chen’s collaboration with Maotai Liquor,

at the beginning of what Gu Chen had mentioned about the collaboration,

he had merely thought that it was the kind of form where Maotai Liquor had invested in his liquor business.

But now, after hearing what Gu Chen had said,

he suddenly felt that it was not what he had imagined.

It seemed there was some trickiness involved.

It felt as if it were not the others who had invested in his liquor business, but rather that his business had invested in Maotai Liquor.

He had such an intuition.

However, he didn’t dare to be sure, because such a thing sounded too fantastical.

"Boss Gu, how are your revenues now?" he continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen hesitated slightly on his face.

It was not that this matter was too unspeakable.

It was mainly that he was unsure what the consequences of speaking out would be.

"Right now, each month only brings in just under ten million."

When Gu Chen said this very earnestly,

his facial expression suddenly became somewhat stiff.

It seemed as if he didn’t know how to respond to what Gu Chen had just said.

Just under ten million a month.

He really doubted if such words could be spoken by a person.

This figure was already quite terrifying; not many companies could achieve such revenue.

He was certain that the Gu Chen in front of him was not joking.

"It’s just the initial stage right now, and I guess it should get a bit better after a while, so the business association is very important now.

Actually, I have many questions that I would like to ask Mr. Qianyang."

Gu Chen said this to him.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Qianyang immediately looked at him with seriousness.

"Boss Gu, feel free to ask anything you wish. Whatever I can answer, I will detail entirely," he said to Gu Chen.

The expression on his face was as if it was filled with a sense of loyalty.

Now there were no barriers between him and Gu Chen.

He could essentially say whatever he wanted.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen seemed momentarily unsure of how to start speaking.

But eventually, Gu Chen also decided to just ask whatever he wanted.

"Actually, it’s not really a problem, but I mainly wanted to ask.

How has our company been profiting during this period?"

Actually, Gu Chen only had this question, apart from that.

He didn’t have anything else he wanted to ask.

Because he was really curious about this matter.

For such a long time, it couldn’t possibly be that his company hadn’t earned a single penny.

It was certain that his trading house had always been profitable, but there was definitely an explanation for how the profits were made.

After listening, Xiong Qianyang immediately understood what Gu Chen meant.

"This is how it is, Boss Gu, the profits of our guild.

Relatively speaking, it’s complex.

It might not be so simple to sum up.

But to put it simply, from the beginning until now, our guild mainly relies on membership fees."

After he said this, Gu Chen instantly perked up his ears.

He was certainly aware of membership fees.

However, he remembered that the Qianyang guild wasn’t supposed to profit just from membership fees.

Especially considering the current situation of the Qianyang guild, if it were just relying on membership fees.

That would probably be a bit too challenging.

Of course, this also depends on how much the membership fee is exactly.

If joining the guild requires tens or hundreds of thousands, then it could indeed be very profitable.

"But the members of this guild might not be what you expect, Boss Gu."

And he continued like this after saying that.

Gu Chen instantly became curious.

Not quite like what he had imagined, what does that mean?

It meant that his guild wasn’t just simply about spending money.

There must be some other avenues.

"I guess, Boss Gu, you must have already guessed something.

Our guild doesn’t actually profit by directly collecting cash.

Instead, it profits indirectly by charging other fees.

For instance, if you had joined our guild at the beginning,

I would have asked for some shares of your ’Small Baijiu’ company.

And this portion would serve as your membership fee for joining the guild.

However, the same method has many advantages over just collecting cash.

Firstly, it lets people feel a bit more at ease.

After all, by having the guild’s investment, it ensures

that the guild won’t just stand by idly should any problems arise in the company later on.

Another point is that for the guild,

as long as we all work hard together,

by entering a new company early through investment,

then after this company has established a certain foundation, it will inevitably become very profitable."

He explained bit by bit to Gu Chen like this, and Gu Chen understood everything he said.

"I think I more or less understand what you’re trying to say," Gu Chen nodded.

He didn’t have any particular opinions on this matter.

He felt that in this respect, it was overbearing yet not so overbearing.

For some not yet successful companies, paying a hefty membership fee might not be feasible for them.

In this case, it is indeed a win-win cooperation.
