"Mayor Xu is decisive! In that case, please hurry and contact more settlements, up to a maximum of 10. Because according to our estimates, the feed produced by one fully automated harvesting aircraft can supply up to 10 settlements."

"I have two personal suggestions for you," Niu Xingwang added.

"President Niu, please speak!"

"First, it's best not to partner with other settlements in your own city, because ultimately you'll still be paying for the crystal cores yourself. It's better to contact other cities and talk directly with their mayors. This has another advantage: it can prevent various disputes later on. After all, the mayor has more authority, and Mayor Xu naturally understands this point."

Mayor Xu nodded, understanding his meaning.

Like Jingmen City, besides the already merged Changjing Settlement, there are also two settlements in the west of the city. Those two settlements still have to listen to him in principle, so their authority is naturally insufficient.

"There's another reason. Recently, news has spread that many cities are merging their settlements. If your partner gets swallowed up, wouldn't you suffer a great loss?" Niu Xingwang added softly.

"That's right!" Mayor Xu nodded.

Niu Xingwang didn't care whether he had thought of this point or not; he still had to remind him to avoid trouble later.

"The second point is that it's best not to partner with more than 3 to 5 cities. If several cities share the cost, each city will only have a loan of a few million crystal cores at most. I believe this number isn't too big of a problem for a city. What do you think, Mayor Xu?" Niu Xingwang asked, looking at him.

"That's right. President Niu has thought it through thoroughly; let's do as you say!" Mayor Xu was completely convinced.

He couldn't help but sigh; the Huatong Chamber of Commerce thinks so thoroughly, considering all the problems, which made him very worry-free. It also strengthened his belief that following the Chamber of Commerce's footsteps would definitely not be wrong.

With the matter settled, Niu Xingwang bid farewell and left.

Mayor Xu seized the time to contact several cities relatively close to Jingmen City: Yunmeng City, Huangzhou City, and Hanyang City.

He planned to find three more cities, so that each would share a loan of 5 million crystal cores on average, which wouldn't be too much pressure.

These three cities hadn't yet obtained the quota to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce's branch, and they had long been green with envy. Now, hearing Mayor Xu say that there was a Huatong Chamber of Commerce project to cooperate on, they immediately became restless.

Just like Mayor Xu's attitude at the beginning, the mayors of these three cities didn't even let him finish speaking before immediately expressing their desire to cooperate, and repeatedly urged him to bring them along.

They were still worried after hanging up the phone, and rushed to Jingmen City in a hurry, fearing that they would miss the opportunity if they were a step late.

There was no way around it; the Huatong Chamber of Commerce's projects were just that popular.

In the circle of mayors, many people had already paid the price for their hesitation once. Now, as long as they heard anything related to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, no one wouldn't pay attention.

After leaving Jingmen City, Niu Xingwang went directly to Luzhou City in Wanhu Province.

Luzhou City has jurisdiction over five settlements:

Changfeng Settlement;

Ludong Settlement;

Luxi Settlement;

Chaohu Settlement;

Xiaogang Settlement.

Among them, Xiaogang Settlement is not managed by Luzhou City, but directly by the council, because many important scientific research projects of China are located here. Up to now, a regiment of the Central Military Region and two regiments of the Southeast Military Region are still stationed here.

Luzhou City Mayor Wang Lexin's settlement is Changfeng Settlement, which is one of the first 20 settlements to cooperate.

So Niu Xingwang went directly to Changfeng Settlement.

The situation was similar to that of Jingmen City, and Wang Lexin also readily agreed to cooperate.

After leaving Luzhou, Niu Xingwang's last stop was Meilin Settlement in Mozhou City.

Although Meilin Settlement no longer had an interdependent relationship with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, it was, after all, the birthplace of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, and countless eyes were watching it.

Giving it appropriate resource inclination is also very beneficial to stabilizing the Chamber of Commerce's reputation and word of mouth.

So this project still had to be given to Meilin.

As for whether Gong Kaiming wanted to take on this project, Dongfang Chen's original words were: he has to take it on even if he doesn't want to.

The meaning was obvious: Meilin represents the Chamber of Commerce's face, and it's not up to Gong Kaiming to do whatever he wants.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Xingwang arrived at Meilin and landed directly on the Chamber of Commerce branch's apron.

"President Niu, what a rare guest! Please, have a seat!" Gong Kaiming greeted him warmly.

"Mayor Gong, it's been a while since I've been here, Meilin is becoming more and more prosperous," Niu Xingwang said with a smile.

"Isn't it all thanks to President Niu!" Mayor Gong also said with a smile.

"Mayor Gong, I'm here today to talk to you about something," Niu Xingwang didn't beat around the bush.

To be honest, Gong Kaiming benefited from the Chamber of Commerce.

If the Chamber of Commerce hadn't been born here, Niu Xingwang wouldn't have bothered to come and talk to him.

"President Niu, please speak."

Gong Kaiming had no choice but to take it seriously.
