Chapter 177 - 177 Club

177 Club

Lex was considered a veteran among these people. In recent years, after the company had expanded, she rarely personally went to the Mandhesi trading market to purchase goods. However, those who had been here for a few years all recognized him.

Lex was considered one of the more powerful Jewelers among this group of people and was also popular. Originally, he would only come during the public auction, but this time, he had personally led a team to pick out goods for some personal reasons. He did not expect to see a good show in the afternoon.

Lex admired Vivian’s straightforward and tough character at such a young age. She had a sense of propriety and a mind of her own. As he was busy, he had never thought of setting up his own club, but if there was one, he would like to know more about it. That was why he took the initiative to ask for opinions on the problems. If all the problems he thought of could be solved, then this matter would basically be a success.

Following that, a few more experienced and powerful Jewelers expressed their opinions. Those who attended the meeting tonight were all in favor of the establishment of the club, and their opinions were similar.

After a heated discussion, they listed almost 20 big and small problems. After solving the small problems, there were a few more troublesome problems, which were considered difficult and complicated problems, and they were finally solved by Vivian in one go.

Computers were not really popular in this era. Only some medium-sized and large jewelry stores would have a few in their offices, so Vivian decided to make good use of the fax machine.

The first thing to solve was the location of the club. There had to be a club office in Mandhesi, and every company that applied to join had to fill out an application form. The reviewers would verify the truth with the members. Only honest businesses could join.

Then, the club would decide which tier the company belonged to based on the size of the company. They would adhere to the principle that big companies paid more and small companies paid less. The membership fee would be approved once every three years and would be adjusted according to the changes.

The club’s operating expenses would be paid for from there. The office’s staff composition was simple. Two outstation staff were in charge of collecting and sorting out information, and one clerk was in charge of daily reception, receiving and sending documents, and sending various inquiries and summary reports to various member companies every ten days. Another cashier was in charge of financial management, and the financial affairs were directly outsourced to the local accounting firm. A small supervisor was also hired to report to the president and the two vice presidents every week. Improve the responsibility of supervision and management.

Everyone had recommended Lex for the position of President. Even though he had repeatedly rejected the offer on the grounds that he did not have the time, he could not change everyone’s mind. Hence, they agreed that he would only be in charge for three years. After three years, he would step down if there was no suitable candidate.

The Vice presidents were Vivian and Jeremy. Jeremy’s family ran a jewelry store. He usually spoke glibly, but he was very calm when he did things. Previously, he said that his family’s company was small, but it had already reached a medium-sized scale and was now showing signs of growing bigger.

As the heir, Jeremy had been learning about Jade and jewelry from his father since he was a child. Under his influence, his ability was no weaker than those experts with 20 years of appraisal experience.

Vivian’s performance at the meeting this afternoon and tonight had won the admiration of many people. In addition, Vivian had intentionally or unintentionally revealed her strength to let everyone know that a very popular clothing brand was under her group.

Her ability to develop multiple industries and the courage to open ten jewelry stores at once were admirable. People in the circle would of course prefer people like Jeremy and Lex who were more capable in the raw stone appraisal, but the management of the club also needed someone who knew how to operate and manage. Vivian’s talent in this area was recognized by everyone. With Lex’s support, Vivian successfully sat in the position she wanted.

Vivian knew that as a newcomer, she did not have the ability to become the president, so her goal this time was to become the Vice President. This position was enough for her to make many connections.

There were a lot of things to discuss, and everyone became more and more excited. The meeting didn’t end until three in the morning. By the time Vivian was able to lie in bed, it was already past four.

The next day, Vivian woke up at one o’clock. She picked up her phone to check the time and realized that Leon had made two calls in the morning and afternoon. She had been sleeping so soundly that she didn’t pick up the calls. She opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly and muttered nervously, “I’m dead, I’m dead!”
