From a freeloader to a world leader

With the investment of Heng Wang Yang Yuanqing, Datong Chamber of Commerce, as well as its subsidiaries Wenzhaige and Deyun Club, all entered a stage of rapid development.

First, Wenzhai Pavilion, which covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, officially ceased operations and prepared for renovation.

During the same period, a large number of people from all walks of life were recruited to ensure that the business would achieve greater glory after reopening.

Among them, most are women.

Because, according to Sun Shan's idea, combining the later nightclub and star-rated hotel models, and adding bathing and massage services, it would require a team of nearly 800 people to ensure high-quality service.

This does not include the security personnel sent by Datong Chamber of Commerce.

From now on, all enterprises affiliated to Datong Chamber of Commerce will be provided with comprehensive security maintenance by the newly established Datong Security Agency at the headquarters of Datong Chamber of Commerce.

To this end, Yang Yuanqing sent his distant nephew Yang Kehua to serve as vice president of the Datong Chamber of Commerce and the first president of the Datong Security Group.

At present, Datong Security Society plans to recruit 100 more people on the basis of the original 500-plus people from the Huayang Sun and Zhang families.

So that in the future, we can better maintain various real economies under the name of Datong Chamber of Commerce.

To this end, Yang Yuanqing also separated a 100-man elite guard force from his own guard force to serve as the backbone of the future Datong Security Society.

The creation of Deyun Club was much simpler.

The Hengwang Mansion directly sold its large teahouse at a discount and, in accordance with Sun Shan's idea, transformed it into the style of a movie theater a thousand years later for performances.

Because Deyun Club only needs to provide performances, plus some tea and pastry services.

Moreover, performers participating in the performance can be selected openly from the society.

This makes it much simpler.

The overall person in charge was handed over to Jacky Cheung, who had become extremely active in performing arts performances since the charity gala.

He served as the first president of Deyun Club and also served as the vice president of Datong Chamber of Commerce.

As for the Datong Chamber of Commerce headquarters, due to the active promotion of Wenzhaige and Deyun Club, Sun Shan’s original plan to establish the Datong Transportation Bureau for takeout and express bodyguard business had to be temporarily suspended.

Only the urgently needed Datong Security Society was established.

According to statistics from interested parties, the Datong Chamber of Commerce recruited nearly 2000 employees of various types during one period.

Moreover, the salary they offer is almost twice that of their peers.

This made all kinds of colleagues in Hengzhou City feel uneasy.

But when they found out, Prince Heng's nephew Yang Kehua was actually the first vice president of Datong Chamber of Commerce, and Prince Heng seemed to hold a considerable share in it.

The vast majority of people stopped being restless.

All they could do was watch the Datong Chamber of Commerce recruiting people on a large scale and expanding rapidly.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Sui Empire has suffered a large number of refugees due to the unfavorable situation on the front battlefield and the imbalance of wind and rain.

As a result, ordinary people are everywhere trying to make a living.

This prevented Sun Shan from recruiting on a large scale, which would have caused a surge in salaries across the city.

However, some elites in the same industry were either attracted by the high salaries of Datong Chamber of Commerce, or they saw the prospects of Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Many people came to Datong Chamber of Commerce privately to inquire, and most of them found out that some technical positions in Datong Chamber of Commerce implemented a work system of basic salary plus commission.

This is very attractive to workplace elites who have technical experience or resources.

In other words, the more you do, the more you earn.

This caused these workplace elites to secretly quit their jobs and prepare to join the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

This undoubtedly touched the cake of the same industry.

Merchants with no background can only endure silently.

Behind the big merchants are extensions of the wealthy and powerful. They are undoubtedly unwilling to swallow this humiliation and plan to give Datong Chamber of Commerce a hard time when Wenzhaige and Deyun open for business.

Just when Sun Shan was busy every day, dealing with the Xiangnan Prefecture Government Office and the Hengwang Mansion.

On the side of the Chenzhou Sun family, after close consultations between Sun Daping and Sun Ping, the patriarch of the Chenzhou Sun family, Sun Changjiang, came to Hengzhou City on the tenth day of July in the twelfth year of Yuanfeng.

Sun Shan looked at his second uncle Sun Daping, who was reporting to him with excitement, and could not help but sigh at the sense of belonging between clans in this era.

They have been separated for more than 100 years.

If they did not share the same surname, the two families would be no different from strangers, but they actually wanted to get married again.

This is the power of the clan and the power of interests.

The reason why Sun Shan did not agree to have specific discussions with the Sun family in Chenzhou was because of this.

The main reason was that he himself did not have enough strength, and he was afraid that if the Sun family of Chenzhou, who also had the surname Sun, joined him, they would deprive him of his decision-making power.

This kind of struggle between people with the same surname is often more complicated and troublesome than that between people with different surnames.

It often involves family affection and a family's hundreds of years of grievances.

According to his understanding, the total population of the Sun family in Chenzhou was about four to five thousand, and there were several high-ranking officials of the fourth and fifth ranks alone.

The highest-ranking official is Sun Ziwen, the eldest son of their clan leader Sun Changjiang, who is currently the Minister of Rites of the Sui Empire - a third-rank official.

And our Huayang Sun family cannot compare with others in any aspect.

The population was only six or seven hundred, and I was the best academically, a scholar. If it had not been for my luck, I would not have been able to become so successful in just two months.

I’m afraid that if you go to work at Sun’s Company, they will be afraid that you will take advantage of them.

Therefore, before he reached a consensus with King Heng and had a tacit marriage with Yang Kexin, he could only become a delicacy in other people's mouths.

But now-----

"hehe-----"

Sun Shan smiled casually and happily: "That's great. Since the Chenzhou Sun family has come to Hengzhou, we must keep them company. Second uncle, please keep Box No. 1 empty tonight."

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Tell Sun Ziyong to find Vice President Yang and see if he has time to attend. Just tell him that the head of our Chenzhou Sun family is here and there may be some matters that need to be discussed."

"Okay, no problem, San-----"

Sun Daping originally wanted to call Shan Ge'er, but suddenly he saw Sun Shan lightly said that he wanted Yang Kehua, a distant nephew of the Hengwang family and the general who was honored by the royal family, to come and have dinner with the Sun family.

I feel that this title is a bit inappropriate.

Sun Shan took a look and knew what was going on with his second uncle Zhang Daping, who had always been restrained since he had established a relationship with the royal palace.

I feel like I need to have a number so that it will be more convenient for everyone to communicate.

But there must be a suitable person with the right identity.

"Second uncle, you can call him whatever you want. We are all family, so it doesn't matter what you call him." Sun Shan smiled indifferently, and then reminded him, "Regarding the affairs of the Chenzhou Sun family, it is not easy for you and I to intervene. I think you should send someone back tomorrow to bring Third Uncle over. It is better for him to say some things, and we, as the younger generation, can just play a supporting role on the side."

Sun Daping was stunned, feeling that his nephew Sun Shan was criticizing him.

Ever since he came to Hengzhou, he has basically been the one handling the relationships within the Sun family.

Especially this time, when communicating with the Sun family in Chenzhou, the basic work was done in advance without obtaining the consent of the clan leader Sun Bohe.

"Okay, Brother Shan."

Sun Daping nodded and agreed. After looking at Sun Shan's face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shan'er, how about this? I will go back tomorrow and bring Third Grandpa over. This way, both sides will have someone to lead the conversation, and it will be easier."

"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of hard work, it will be fine. To be honest, the Sun family in Chenzhou is not easy to deal with. Without an experienced person, I am afraid that they will------"

Having said that, Sun Shan stopped talking.

But the implication is self-evident.

It's not that Sun Shan didn't believe in himself and his second uncle Sun Bohe. When facing the more powerful Chenzhou Sun family, he didn't have a certain psychological ability and could only give in step by step.

As for myself, firstly, I am of a younger generation, and secondly, I have no concrete relationship with Yang Kexin, and we have only communicated verbally in private.

Not an ideal negotiating partner either.

Therefore, the resolute and courageous old patriarch is the best choice to negotiate with the Sun family of Chenzhou this time.

Perhaps, at the critical moment, we have to ask the palace to send a more important person to hold the fort.

"I understand, Brother Shan, I will rush back tomorrow morning. Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Haha, now that you're back, see if there are any other suitable people you can think of? If possible, we can try to bring them along. It's always more reassuring to use our family members."

Upon hearing what Sun Shan said, Sun Daping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although there are not many people like Sun Bing who dare to fight and kill, there are many people who are willing to come to Hengzhou City to work.

The mother-in-law's family and the daughter-in-law's family have been asked many times to see if Sun Shan would give in.

Now, one month’s work here in Sunshan is equivalent to half a year’s work at home.

Moreover, the Datong Chamber of Commerce provides food and accommodation. Even if you don't become an official in the future, as long as you can work in the Datong Chamber of Commerce for a few years, it will not be a problem to become a wealthy small moneyman in the countryside.

"Yes, Brother Shan, that's no problem at all. I just don't know how many people you want to find this time?"

"Let's start with 100. The details will be determined after Third Grandpa has discussed with Chenzhou."

Sun Daping was very happy to hear this. The more people came out of Baisha Village, the more effective his words would be in Datong Chamber of Commerce in the future.

It seems that my nephew Sun Shan also understands that no matter whether it is the Zhang family or the Chenzhou Sun family, they are not as useful as the Baisha Sun family.

"Okay! Then I'll find 100 of them first, and bring them with me when I come back this time."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but you must make it clear what you need to say first, so as to avoid trouble later."

"I know about this, Shan'er, don't worry, I will give it a good beating. Do you have any other instructions?"

"Nothing, you can go to my second sister's house by the way. How is my second brother-in-law's matter going? He should be here by now------"

After hearing what Sun Shan said, Sun Daping became even more envious.

Sun Shan's second brother-in-law Su Yuan was originally just an ordinary constable in the county town. After being transferred to Hengzhou this time, he was actually promoted to the third constable of the Hengzhou City Police Station.

According to the calculation method a thousand years later, this means being promoted from an ordinary policeman in the county to the position of deputy director in the city.

If this isn’t a quick success, then what is it?

Although Su Yuan currently does not have a formal official rank, this is the limitation of this era.

I believe that one day, Sun Shan will find a way to promote his second brother-in-law to an official position of high rank.

Even so, the power in his hands is already insignificant.

What's more, Wang Dashan has already surrendered. When he arrives in Hengzhou in the future, with the support of Sun Shan, he will be able to act arrogantly!
