343: Chapter 343 Establishment of the Supervisory Group

“Councilman Jing, why have you brought people over today?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“Oh, I have several tasks this time. But most importantly, I’ve brought people from relevant departments to learn and gain experience,” Jing Cheng explained.

“Councilman Jing, you are too kind. We are just a grassroots organization, small-time, there’s nothing worth learning here,” Niu Xingwang replied.

“Oh! Chairman Niu is too modest. In the self-defense counterattack against Ulan Country a few days ago, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce really made a name for itself! So, one of my important tasks is to present you with the ‘Outstanding Civilian Organization Demonstration Unit’ honorary certificate, jointly issued by the Military Political Department, the Civil Affairs Department, and the Finance Department,” Jing Cheng said with a smile.

“Oh my! Then my Huatong Chamber of Commerce is truly honored!” Niu Xingwang exclaimed.

But his heart was already starting to pound. Nothing could stand up to being talked about; he had just been wondering what kind of follow-up the Council would have, and now it was here.

“Then, Chairman Niu, please arrange for us to proceed with the certificate presentation ceremony first,” Jing Cheng said.

“Alright, alright! Little Gu, please take the leaders to rest first.” Niu Xingwang instructed Gu Qingyi, then left.

The entire award ceremony was relatively simple; the main part was just staged photos.

“Chairman Niu, next is to discuss the establishment of Huatong Business School.” After everyone entered the conference room and took their seats, Jing Cheng said.

“Councilman Jing, what was the Council’s final decision…?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“Chairman Niu, the Council has approved your application for establishment and agreed to second a total of 120 Experts and professors from relevant fields. It should be noted that these 120 people include the 60 people previously seconded,” Jing Cheng said.

“Thank you, thank you!” Niu Xingwang said happily.

“Here are the relevant procedures, please keep them safe.” Jing Cheng handed over a file bag.

“Okay!” Niu Xingwang politely took the file bag.

He opened the bag; inside was an authorization document stamped with the red seal of the Culture Department. Besides that, there were several newly made seals.

“You are so thoughtful!” Niu Xingwang complimented.

“To be honest, Chairman Niu, what you are doing is also solving the employment problem for some professors, so I should thank you,” Jing Cheng said.

“Oh, That's right, Councilman Jing. There’s one more thing I need to discuss with you,” Niu Xingwang said.

“Chairman Niu, please speak.” Jing Cheng made a gesture to invite him to speak.

“It’s like this, I don’t think it’s very convenient for these Experts to work here long-term,” Niu Xingwang said.

“I don’t quite understand what Chairman Niu means.” Jing Cheng frowned, thinking that Niu Xingwang was not planning to accept those professors.

“Oh, Councilman Jing, don’t misunderstand, what I mean is that it might be better if the Experts could bring their families over,” Niu Xingwang said.

“Oh, so that’s it. I think that’s very good! However, doing so would significantly increase your costs here,” Jing Cheng understood.

“As long as Councilman Jing agrees, I will handle the rest,” Niu Xingwang said.

“Good! Then let’s do that.” Jing Cheng nodded.

“There’s one more thing next,” Jing Cheng said.

“Councilman Jing, please speak.”

“According to the ‘Huaguo Economic Law,’ private enterprises that receive national commendations should establish a supervisory group within 30 days from the date of commendation. The number of members in the supervisory group is determined by the overall scale of the enterprise, but there must be no fewer than 5 people,” Jing Cheng said.

‘This must be their follow-up move. First, they give a good reputation, and then they use this opportunity to insert people into the Chamber of Commerce. And this is done openly and forcefully,’ Niu Xingwang thought.

“Chairman Niu, what are your thoughts on this?” Jing Cheng asked.

“Councilman Jing, the economy of Huaguo no longer exists, is this economic law still applicable?” Niu Xingwang said as tactfully as possible.

The other researchers listening in the back began to whisper when they heard Niu Xingwang’s words.

Most people thought Niu Xingwang’s words were a bit excessive.

“Chairman Niu, the Council has not issued any document to prohibit the economic law, so of course it is applicable,” Jing Cheng replied.

“Then how many supervisors does the Council require to be set up?” Niu Xingwang asked.

“Well, these people I brought, a total of 62,” Jing Cheng said, pointing to the people listening in.

“62 people? Isn’t that too many?” Niu Xingwang was a bit stunned.

With this group of people wandering around the base every day, many things would become inconvenient to handle.

“Not many, the number has been calculated by us,” Jing Cheng said.

“Councilman Jing, as you know, private enterprises like ours are responsible for their own profits and losses. Now, with so many people arranged, our pressure is really great!” Niu Xingwang said.

“That can’t be. As far as I know, the employees recruited by just 20 Chamber of Commerce branches are no less than 10,000, right? I hope Chairman Niu understands that there is no room for negotiation regarding the establishment of the supervisory group,” Jing Cheng said.

“Since that’s the case, then we will actively cooperate,” Niu Xingwang replied.

But he was already depressed; this demonstration unit was not a good thing at all, it was simply a tight-fitting spell.
