The Zhongyi Hall was located on the side of the Central Square. If he could attend the meeting here, he could also enjoy the competition outside. It was a win-win situation. The level of the meeting was very high. Ye Feifei, Peanut Bean Milk Sugar, the owner of Immortal Wine, Xu Caorong, the head of the Ancient Wine Industry, Yang Jiajun, Zhou Hui, the husband and wife of the Honesty Altar Limited Company, and Zhou Hui, the husband and wife of the Worthy Group... Dongfang Qingyu had never interacted with more than half of them, but he could recognize them at first glance. They were all people who often appeared in the news, and it would be difficult for him not to recognize them.
Dongfang Qingyu glanced around. It seemed that he was the only one who was not doing proper business. The others were mainly focused on economics, and he was the only one who focused on fighting.
Speaking of which, if he were to fight with these people, he could even kill them in one hit. Duan Jiuyi was used to it, so he was the last one to appear.
"There is nothing important about inviting everyone here today. I just want to get to know everyone. In the future, I will have to deal with everyone often. Let's meet first to increase our relationship. If there is anything in the future, I won't be unable to find your phone number." Duan Jiuyi's self-proclaimed humor did not cause any laughter, but only Huang Jianren laughed along with him, which sounded very ear-piercing.
Dongfang Qingyu looked at him coldly. It was not his fault that everyone was being so reserved. Duan Jiuyin's invitation letter was very polite, but it gave everyone the feeling that he was suppressing them with his power. Everyone present was a big shot. They liked to suppress others, but they did not like to be suppressed. Facing Duan Jiuyin's identity, they did not dare to say anything on the surface, and could only express their opinions in silence.
"Thank you everyone for taking the time to come and participate. I am here to take a look and learn a bit." Duan Jiuyin's smile kept on his face as he handed the microphone to Huang Jianren.
Huang Jianren stood up with high spirits and started to talk. In summary, he said, "Form a union!"
In the game, in the past few years, there had been floods, pests, or famine. The harvest of grain was very unstable, and the raw materials used to brew wine were grain. The grain output was unstable, and it had a huge impact on the wine industry. The benefit of forming a union was to regulate the production and price of wine, so that every wine industry professional could benefit.
It sounded good, but after Huang Jianren finished speaking, no one made a sound. Everyone was not confident. As the saying went, there was no pie falling from the sky. Everyone was not a child anymore. The benefits of the union were obvious, but the restrictions were also obvious. Once someone controlled the union, would they still have the right to speak?
Needless to say, with Duan Jiuyin's support, the position of the president of the union would definitely be taken by Huang Jianren. At that time, it would be hard to say whether the union would be the union of everyone or Huang Jianren's.
"The wine industry in the foreign countries has been established for many years, and it has already been very mature. This is also why the foreign wine can easily enter our country, but the wine in our country is very difficult to enter the foreign countries. It's not that our wine is not good, but the quality of our wine is not worse than any country's. However, the profit is not even one third of the others. I believe everyone knows the reason why. Internal friction." Huang Jianren looked at everyone with his sharp eyes and said with a strong voice, "Most of the time, we waste our time on internal friction. We fight and fight, and we are all involved in each other's internal conflicts. In the end, everyone does so hard, but we don't make much money. The purpose of establishing the union is to prevent this kind of situation."
"Did you join the union before?" Dongfang Qingyu leaned close to Ye Feifei's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Student union," Ye Feifei said.
"I forgot, you are still a member of the student union." Dongfang Qingyu vaguely heard Ye Feifei's classmate mention this matter.
"In school, the student union has a lot of authority. Many times, the school leaders have to consult the student union's opinion." Ye Feifei said.
"Do you want to join this thing?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"Only the people who speak in the organization have the greatest benefits." Ye Feifei carefully used her words.
"If I don't join, I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave." Dongfang Qingyu looked at Duan Jiuyin, who was still smiling, but the smile was no longer warm. It was obvious that everyone's reaction made him very dissatisfied.
"If the market economy is recklessly interfered with, it will only become more chaotic. Overall, the union is good, but now that it has been established, the timing is not right. It's too early." Ye Feifei said.
"How so?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"There are as many enterprises as the Bai family in the world of alcohol. In the real world, there aren't many of them, but this is the game world. There is no problem with transportation, and the limitations in the game are infinitely narrowed. In fact, there are about five to six enterprises in the game," Ye Feifei said.
"That is to say, many enterprises that should be eliminated have not been eliminated yet?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at her.
"Protecting the weak will only make them live in a greenhouse and not be able to grow. Once they face a powerful enemy, not only will they not be able to provide support, they will even be a burden." Ye Feifei was in the industry of alcohol. Her words were more thorough than those experts.
"I know that many people don't think so. They think that the situation is not that severe. This is right and wrong. Preparing for the future is a precious experience left behind by the ancestors. When the tide of the era comes, those who are not prepared will not even have the chance to scream. Before Nokia, Nokia Lifestyle, mp3, MP4, game consoles, and even cameras, who would have thought that in the flood of history, these former overlords would be so vulnerable? If they don't form a group, who knows how many people will be left three years from now? It's already good enough that one-third of the people will be left."
Many of them were shocked by his words. They could not tell whether he was warning them or advising them. Dongfang Qingyu noticed that a few of the big shots were angry. Duan Jiuyin also noticed it. He quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over. He told everyone that this was just an idea. In the end, whether or not they would establish a union would depend on everyone's opinion. Today, he mainly wanted to get to know everyone. Those who were already familiar with him, he wanted to catch up with them.
"I am very happy to know so many friends at once. I have specially prepared the delicacies of 'Cangye City'. Everyone, try it and see if it suits your taste. Please give me your valuable opinions." Huang Jianren also realized that he had been too anxious and called for his servants to bring the delicious food.
"In the game, everyone is my senior. I respect you all. I hope that everyone will support my work in the future. If there is anything that I can't do, please do not hesitate to give me your opinions." Duan Jiuyin raised his glass. No matter if they were unwilling or not, everyone followed suit.
"What kind of wine is this? It tastes pretty good." Dongfang Qingyu smacked his lips. Drinking the wine was a form of respect to Duan Jiuyin. After all, he represented the higher-ups. He had to show basic respect. He did not expect that the wine would enter his throat and not burn his throat. When the wine entered his stomach, a faint fragrance spread out in his mouth. It was as if he had drunk a bowl of hot soup in the cold weather.
"This is the main product of the 'Reverie of Wine', the Six-flavored Wine. It should have been stored for around 51 years," Ye Feifei said. Why did the wine in the game taste better than the real world? Firstly, the materials were better, and secondly, the age was sufficient. In the real world, it was rare to find wine that had been stored for ten or eight years. However, in the game, there was a type of item that could accelerate the passage of time. One month was equivalent to one year in the real world, and the age of the wine was instantly increased.
When Dongfang Qingyu looked at Buyu, Buyu also looked at him. The two of them were separated by a few seats and nodded at each other without saying a word.
The 'Reverie of Wine' was the largest wine company in the real world. The profit was not even worth mentioning. Just looking at one thing, the 'Reverie of Wine''s离职 rate was only 5%. One could tell the development of a company by looking at the离职 rate. It was said that in the annual report of the 'Reverie of Wine,' it was said that there were four generations of the same family in the company. Other than the family business, only the 'Reverie of Wine' could have four generations of the same family.
Buyu was the head of the 'Reverie of Wine' in this generation. He was in his forties and was very low-key. He had not spoken a word since he walked into the meeting room. When he greeted others, he only smiled and nodded.
"Are you familiar with him?" Dongfang Qingyu asked Ye Feifei.
"Not familiar. This is the second time I saw him. The first time was last year at an auction," Ye Feifei said.
"I think this guy should have surrendered." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Everyone has their own considerations." Ye Feifei said.
Huang Jianren suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, relax. Let us talk about the competition this time. Now that the competition has entered the top three, I wonder if everyone has paid attention. Who do you think will be the champion?"
"How can I not pay attention? This is the biggest event of the current era. I think that the person who is proficient in the four books and five scriptures is better than my dad. He summoned ten hellhounds in one go. Who can beat him?" Breeze, the owner of the Immortal Wine, immediately expressed his opinion, his tone slightly excited.
"Old Xu, you must have been watching for the past few days. Can you reveal how much you bet?" The Yang family's Jun of the Ancient Wine said teasingly.
The moment these two people spoke, the atmosphere immediately became lively. As long as it was not about joining the union, everyone did not feel any pressure.
Up until today, the competition had already been divided into three strong contestants. They were the Summoner who was proficient in the four books and five scripts, his dad was better than him, and the Berserker who could not cover his head with his umbrella. The veteran expert assassin, Breeze, could not cover his head with his umbrella either. Actually, he should have added the female player who was wearing a black veil. She had a good chance of entering the top three, but when she fought with the proficient in the four books and five scripts who was better than his dad, she lost without knowing why. The proficient in the four books and five scripts was better than his dad easily advanced. Everyone was extremely confused. The third and fourth place's prize money was a few million each. The female player did not explain, leaving a carefree back figure and leaving the game. Until now, she had not come online.
Those who bet on her could not find anyone to scold her. They were so angry that they were sulking. Those who supported the proficient in four books and five scriptures and were not as rich as her father thought that female players knew their limits and knew that they could not win, so they voluntarily admitted defeat. The real reason was probably only known by female players.
Everyone present was a well-known figure in the wine industry. Naturally, watching the competition was not as simple as just watching the show. There was no situation of who the fans were. Basically, they had bet on the Treasure Gathering Pot. They were so enthusiastic because of the money. The proficient in four books and five scriptures was not as rich as her father, and the one who said that Breeze had the highest chance of winning. However, most people supported the umbrella that could not cover the big head. The umbrella that could not cover the big head's fighting style was very orthodox, but it was steady and did not give the enemy any chance. He had killed his way here without taking any potions. This kind of fighting style was very confident. Another reason why everyone supported him was that his level was the highest. When the battle entered a state of attrition, the players with higher levels had the advantage.
"God, everyone knows that you have a unique eye. What do you think?" Huang Jianren suddenly aimed at Dongfang Qingyu. As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire meeting room quieted down. Everyone looked at Dongfang Qingyu.
