BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153: ETC's Progress
Many people knew in this room that she had already covered the Central Continent in just a single year.
"The Consortium has seen tremendous growth this year," she began.
"We\'ve expanded our reach to most of the main cities across the continent, establishing trade routes which have created a stable network which has boosted the economic side in this continent.
This has not only increased our profits but also allowed us to acquire rare resources that were previously inaccessible, which have either been resold for something else or have been stored in the Universal Storage room for the future."
Xu Qianghua, as if on cue, nodded, having seen the influx of exotic goods that had come into the family\'s possession.
"Our personnel has also grown significantly," Liu Meiying continued.
"We started by summoning a large number of traders and merchants using the Bronze and Silver cards.
These individuals are responsible for managing our day-to-day operations. They are the main ground force that moves goods around, negotiates deals, and ensures that our trades are on time without many mistakes.
They\'ve been an important part of the reason for the Consortium\'s expansion, and their hard work has already begun to pay off."
She paused to let the others digest this before continuing.
"At the next level, the Gold and Platinum summoned people have been a huge help for us at the start due to their massive population.
These individuals are not just merchants; they are experts in their fields, whether it\'s in alchemy, artifact crafting, or financial management.
They have taken on small and medium leadership roles within the Consortium, overseeing entire departments and trading. At the same time, their clientele is much higher than the Black-Iron and Bronze summoned people.
Their skills have allowed us to diversify our offerings, moving trade goods from mid- to high-end products that are sold at premium prices.
This gave the ETC a huge amount of money, which has been used to expand their facilities as compensation."
Bai Lingyun looked impressed; although she knew that these people would not be bad, she did not expect this result.
And she was right, but all of these merchants and traders are able to get such good deals because they are part of a force under the Xu family, which is known as the No. 1 force.
Secondly, all these traders are equipped with the Heavenly Trade Caravan, each creating its own fleet.
This made them look much more professional and reduced the chances of their goods getting looted by the native criminal forces across the Continent.
Meanwhile, Liu Meiying continued reporting.
"And with the addition of the Diamond and Epic summoned people who are driving the Consortium\'s strategy and long-term growth.
They\'ve worked closely with me to identify new markets, negotiate high-level deals, and establish partnerships with powerful forces.
With their cultivation levels at the Peak Foundation realm, they were able to serve as protectors of our trade routes and assets, which have added a layer of protection for all the traders and merchants," Liu Meiying said, clearly satisfied with this development.
There were murmurs of approval from around the room, but these were mostly the followers, while the ladies all had an \'expected of you\' look.
This is because they knew that Liu Meiying was a powerful woman in the business world, but she was cornered in the Xu family Group in the old world, which limited her talents.
And now, she is able to unleash that, and the ladies and everyone else in the room can see her efforts.
"Next, we have the top-tier recruits—the individuals from Legendary and Starlight cards," Liu Meiying said.
"These are the people who are not just part of the Consortium; they are the Consortium.
They oversee all operations with Diamond and Epic summoned people, from our headquarters to our most important trade routes. Their expertise in business and their cultivation abilities are unmatched, and they have been critical in ensuring our success until now."
She took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, she started speaking again.
"And finally, we have the people from Galaxy and Universal cards," she said.
"These individuals are our most valuable assets. They are one the main voices behind the Consortium\'s strategy, with the ability to see beyond the immediate future and plan for the long term.
Their cultivation is at the Early to Middle Gold Core Realm, and they possess knowledge that they absorbed from the Scripture tower and the nearby popular businessmen.
They\'ve been working on projects that will secure the Consortium\'s income for the next few hundred years, and they have also helped us with acquiring rare and powerful artifacts that were in the hands of the native families."
Liu Meiying looked around the room, and seeing everyone still amazed at their growth, she did not give them time to ask questions as she continued.
"Overall, the past year has seen significant growth for the ETC. We\'ve expanded our reach, increased our profits, and strengthened our position in the trade world. I\'m confident that we\'ll continue to prosper in the future."
This caused the ladies in the room to sigh, as the Xu family has become a major force in the world, which means that they are no longer a small force.
But they were proud, as everyone had been working hard for the past year so that they were not left behind.
As they knew that slowing down right now was not an option. Although they had overpowered items, without using them efficiently, they were nothing more than fancy scrap.
"And similar to Qiangqiang, I had also created a small group of leaders who lead the ETC whenever I am not there," Liu Meiying said as she pointed at the people behind her.
