Chapter 830

"You are, the president?!"

Hearing this, Mingxi widened her eyes with a ghostly expression.

How could her own president look like this?

As the secretary of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce, she didn't even know.

This was the first time she had seen what the president looked like.

This was too shocking for her.

Not only was Mingxi shocked, but Seeing Ye Lan and Hearing Shen He also looked at the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce with surprise.

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce, his true form was actually like this; it was truly beyond their expectations.

"No need to be surprised."

Regarding the gazes of everyone, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce nodded: "I didn't want to show myself in public either, but today it concerns the future of the Artisanship Commission, so I had to attend."

"What, is the person opposite a piece of scrap metal, and you're afraid?"

"Compared to fear, I feel more strange."

Seeing Ye Lan smiled as she watched this scene: "The Xianzhou is truly magical, incredible."

Something like a piece of scrap metal was actually the president of a prosperous chamber of commerce; what a magical technological creation.

If she hadn't seen it before, Seeing Ye Lan wouldn't have been able to believe it.

"The meeting was called to gather everyone, not to listen to your idle chatter."

At this time, Lord Yu Kong suddenly spoke: "President, please state your plans and considerations for the Artisanship Commission."

"Naturally."

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce said: "I can understand everyone's enthusiasm for the Artisanship Commission; I feel the same way, we all want to make this place more prosperous."

"But the prosperity we want is different from the prosperity you want."

Seeing Ye Lan spoke, asking a follow-up question.

"The prosperity you want will destroy the traditions and personality of the Artisanship Commission."

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce said: "That is a prosperity we cannot afford."

"The company plans to transform the Artisanship Commission into a logistics transfer warehouse; the essence of what you are doing is the same."

"But our approach is different from the company's."

Seeing Ye Lan shook her head gently and said: "After the company takes over the Artisanship Commission, they might close some 'neighborhoods', but we won't."

"We use decisions to protect shops, while the company only sacrifices shops for decisions."

"Protect? Sacrifice? These are just vague concepts in human language; I only look at the results."

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce said: "Once logistics dominates the Artisanship Commission, shops like these will soon perish, and the company won't even need to take action."

"You mean, you're equating us directly with the company."

"Because over-development will only affect the tourist experience, leading to a decrease in the actual number of tourists coming to the street; this is reality."

"Everything you've said is just a conclusion you've drawn using data."

Hearing the words of the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce, Seeing Ye Lan frowned: "Data is dead."

"Historical data is far more persuasive than your rhetoric; you'd better learn to use data too."

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce nodded: "Data is the most persuasive."

"Look at this."

Hearing this, Seeing Ye Lan threw out a revenue analysis recorded on the street and said calmly: "Tourists have not decreased."

"The data I gave you records the changes in revenue since the neighborhood and the pier cooperated, as well as the changes in the number of tourists arriving at the store."

While Seeing Ye Lan was speaking, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce was already reading it.

When he saw the detailed revenue data, his tone was surprised: "Increased rather than decreased; this is impossible; are you bluffing?"

"You are more familiar with the little secretary than I am; would she use fake data to persuade you?"

At this time, Lord Yu Kong spoke slowly; looking at the way Lord Yu Kong spoke, she seemed to be on the side of Seeing Ye Lan and the others.

Hearing Lord Yu Kong speak, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce frowned: "This is just an individual case; this is not enough to persuade me."

"If I were you, I would turn individual cases into universal cases."

Seeing Ye Lan tapped the table and said slowly: "Although I am an outsider, I know that a chamber of commerce that cannot think for the shops has no meaning."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Seeing Ye Lan's words, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce fell silent and said calmly: "You haven't experienced the era I experienced, which is why you don't understand 'my persistence'."

"Isn't your statement just relying on being old to sell old?"

"Time can explain many things, young man."

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce said in a flat tone: "... I am the president of the Artisanship Commission; the Artisanship Commission of the past chose 'my persistence', which is why it created the commercial miracle that cannot be surpassed today."

"So you mean to say that the current Artisanship Commission cannot surpass the Artisanship Commission of your time?" Seeing Ye Lan narrowed her eyes: "No matter what, it cannot be surpassed?"

"That's right; today, the number of tourists in the Artisanship Commission hasn't reached one-tenth of its peak period; back then, the Artisanship Commission was bustling with traffic and shoulder-to-shoulder, the true 'Luo Fu's No. 1 Night Market'."

The president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce nodded and said: "This is beyond doubt!"

"If humans cannot learn experience from history, then the Artisans will teach you."

"How can you conclude that we haven't learned experience from history?"

"You have learned quite a bit from history, learned stubbornness and sophistry, but turned a blind eye to the real lessons."

"Slap!"

As soon as the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce finished speaking, a document was thrown out by Seeing Ye Lan; it was the historical transaction volume of the Artisanship Commission.

Seeing Ye Lan, who threw out this record of transaction volume, said calmly: "The past you described is not objective."

"According to the information we collected, it fully proves that even in its most glorious period, the transaction volume of the Artisanship Commission was almost on par with now."

"This thing."

Seeing the historical transaction volume thrown by Seeing Ye Lan, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce looked at it and finally said slowly: "You also counted the flying mechanical birds."

"That's right, so what?"

"The past cannot be directly compared with the present. The environment at that time and now are completely..."

Speaking of this, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce fell silent, and his tone paused.

And Seeing Ye Lan nodded gently: "Continue, I'm listening."

President of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce: "....."

After a long while, the president of the Artisanship Commission chambers of commerce said: "You want to say 'the practices of the past cannot be directly applied to the present', because 'the environment at that time and now are completely different'—I ended up arriving at your argument after all." ===== CHAPTER 831 =====
