Chapter 283: Welcome Aboard
After all, the Chu Family was based in Xixiang.
So, it wasn’t strange that the Chu Family preferred to recruit an agent in Xixiang.
A lot of people showed up, with about a dozen or so being major contenders.
They were mostly entrepreneurs worth tens of billions, all extremely wealthy. Of course, there were even some present who were worth nearly a hundred billion.
Compared to Zhao Liu, they were still a bit lacking.
Soon, Chu Feng said, "Real estate, internet technology... any companies not involved in manufacturing or tangible goods can step back now."
As soon as he said this, more than half of the business owners left, looking dumbfounded and speechless.
They had no choice. Chu Feng had spoken, so they had to leave.
One could only say their industries weren’t a good fit; they couldn’t blame anyone else.
The reason Chu Feng made this choice was simply that these types of businesses were not stable. If something went wrong, they could easily be wiped out.
A man handed a tablet to Chu Feng, saying, "Young Master Chu, our Tianhe Group is a manufacturing enterprise specializing in air conditioners and other electrical appliances. We have a market value of sixty billion. Here are the specifics of our business scope and our financial reports from the past few years."
It contained a presentation that described the company’s situation in detail.
Chu Feng glanced at it and nodded. In his opinion, the company was quite good.
However, there were many other companies after this one that were also quite good.
The only drawback was their market scope; it was mostly limited to Xixiang City itself.
For the Chu Family, this scope was too small. The key issue was that Xixiang was practically a poor backwater compared to Beihai.
Nevertheless, Chu Feng still chose Tianhe Group.
He then announced to the crowd, "I declare that the Chu Family’s agent in Xixiang City will be Tianhe Group!"
When the crowd heard this, the entire hall erupted in gasps.
The chairman of Tianhe Group was so excited he couldn’t stop grinning. He hurriedly said to Chu Feng, "Thank you, Young Master Chu! Thank you to all the senior leaders of the Chu Family!"
Now that his Tianhe Group had the Chu Family’s backing, it was certain to reach a new level in the future.
Whether it was their market, status, or reputation, everything would rise with the tide.
Because he was now essentially tied to the Chu Family, he could also send a direct descendant to the Chu Family for Cultivation.
In other words, his family could now produce a Martial Cultivator. Someone from his lineage would be setting foot on the path of the Martial Dao.
After all, when a business grows to a certain scale, it’s very dangerous not to have a powerful backer.
For any number of reasons, they could face suppression, buyouts, or even bankruptcy.
And a Martial Arts Family was a backer powerful enough that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to make a move against them.
Even other Martial Arts Families generally wouldn’t mess with the businesses under another family’s protection, as it would lead to friction and conflict.
"Boss Cao, welcome to the Chu Family." At that moment, Chu Wuji said with a smile to the head of Tianhe Group.
The remaining business leaders all sighed, feeling bitter about losing this opportunity.
Just as Chu Feng was about to step down from the stage, he caught a glimpse of someone in the crowd. The man, who had a large potbelly, saw Chu Feng looking and waved a greeting.
"Boss Jiang over there, where’s your company’s presentation?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
Everyone followed Chu Feng’s gaze.
They all saw a chubby man in a suit with a large potbelly.
"Is... isn’t that Fatty Jiang from Jiang’s Jewelry Group? What’s he doing here? Is he here to compete, too?" someone asked in confusion.
"I don’t know. Is Fatty Jiang here to compete? But they’ve already made their choice. It’s useless for him to be here now," another person said.
After all, the agent had already been chosen. So what if Jiang Tao had a huge advantage?
"Young Master Chu, long time no see." Seeing Chu Feng addressing him, Jiang Tao chuckled.
"It just occurred to me, the Chu Family doesn’t have a suitable agent in Beihai yet. I wonder if Boss Jiang would be interested?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
As soon as Chu Feng said this, everyone froze, staring at him in utter shock.
They hadn’t expected the Chu Family to be recruiting an agent in Beihai as well.
At first, his words made the eyes of many major entrepreneurs from Beihai light up.
However, after Chu Feng finished speaking, their expressions fell.
"Me?" Jiang Tao looked astonished. He never imagined that Chu Feng would ask him to be the Chu Family’s agent in Beihai!
The news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him utterly stunned.
"What? You don’t want to? If you’re not willing, I can just pick someone else," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"I’m willing, I’m willing! Of course, I’m willing." Jiang Tao nodded vigorously.
At this time, the Chu Clan Head, Chu Wuji, glanced over and said, "Welcome to the Chu Family. From now on, you are one of us. This is the Chu Family’s Token. In the future, anyone who dares to oppose the Chu Family will be slain without exception!"
He took out two Tokens and handed them to Boss Cao of Tianhe Group and Jiang Tao.
