In the Textile Association, among all personal positions, only the Secretary-General is full-time, while the rest of the presidents, vice presidents and directors are part-time.

In other words, the president decides the general direction of the association's development, and the specific affairs are still done by the secretary-general, so in the association, the power of this position should be second only to the president.

Even in some things, the Secretary-General has greater authority than the President.

Now, hearing what Zhao Hongsheng said on the phone, the Secretary-General of the Textile Association should have an official background, so of course he would support Wang Ye according to Zhao Hongsheng's wishes.

Wang Ye recalled that he was not very familiar with the people in the association. Apart from President Liu Shujie, the Secretary-General had only seen him once and was not very familiar with him.

The secretary-general of the Textile Association is Gu Qingshan, who is 35 or 36 years old. He is a very smart and capable person. He has a very good reputation in the association.

However, the president was lazy and never thought about holding any major events. The proposal proposed by Gu Qingshan at the board meeting several times was also rejected by Liu Shujie.

Liu Shujie's reason is very simple, that is, the Textile Association is a non-governmental organization, and colleagues gather together to communicate with each other, so there is no need to spend too much time and energy to do things.

...

On August 28, Pengcheng Textile Association was grandly held in the International Banquet Hall of the Black Forest Hotel in Eastern OCT.

This is also the 7th Congress of the Association. At this meeting, the candidates for the next president and vice president will be elected.

Each president and vice president have a term of four years.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, all the members of the Textile Association began to arrive at the hotel one after another. The people who came were basically the bosses of various clothing companies in Pengcheng, and a few professional managers also came to attend the meeting as company representatives.

Liu Shujie also arrived. When he walked into the hotel lobby, many people who knew him greeted him one after another.

"President Liu is here so early today."

"Old Liu is going to be re-elected this year, and you will be voted for later."

Liu Shujie forced a smile: "Hello everyone, let's go to the conference hall, the meeting will be held later."

Liu Shujie was in a bad mood today because yesterday, Secretary-General Gu Qingshan found him for an interview and said something to him that made him unhappy.

Simply put, I hope that Liu Shujie will not participate in the presidential election this year. He has served as the president for two terms and should give the opportunity to others.

Liu Shujie was not surprised that Gu Qingshan would say such words. He also knew Gu Qingshan’s background, but there was no one in the association in the past that he competed for the position of president with him. What happened this year?

He asked Gu Qingshan curiously: "It doesn't matter whether I am the president or not, but I want to know, who wants this position?"

Gu Qingshan did not hide it and said frankly: "It's not that anyone wants it, but that he wants to push Wang Ye up, because many people think that it is more suitable to let Wang Ye be the president of this association."

When Liu Shujie heard Gu Qingshan say Wang Ye, he suddenly realized that it was him!

They are all people in the clothing industry. Although Wang Ye is not familiar with Liu Shujie, Liu Shujie knows Wang Ye very well.

In the past two years, Pengcheng’s clothing industry, and even the most popular person in the domestic clothing industry, is Wang Ye!

First, he led Huashang International to the listing, and his market value once reached the 100 billion mark! Then he created THE     TOP       SHOP, a designer collection store brand, creating the most well-known high-end brand in China.

Now I have found another fast fashion brand. Judging from the momentum, this company is even more amazing. It won’t take long and it is probably another giant with a sales of 100 billion yuan!

If Wang Ye wants to replace him and serve as the president of the Textile Association, Liu Shujie is really convinced.

He himself also understood that his strength was completely different from that of Wang Ye, and the gap was too big.

However, although I had already admitted defeat, I still felt unhappy.

Liu Shujie is also a person who loves face. Everyone thinks he will be re-elected as president, but now he has to voluntarily withdraw from the election on his own initiative. He still feels a little overwhelmed in terms of face.

But no matter what he thinks, the situation is better than others. Gu Qingshan only proposes that Wang Ye be a candidate for president at this membership meeting to participate in the election.

Then no one can compete with Wang Ye, either Liu Shujie or others, because the three companies under Wang Ye are too powerful.

This is the crushing force. If your company is strong, then you can speak louder than others.

In industry associations, there are such unspoken rules...

At about ten o'clock, more than 500 members arrived, and of course some people did not come because of something.

It doesn’t matter how few people are missing. Such loose organizations do not need to be 100% present. As long as more than two-thirds of the people are present, the meeting can be held.

The meeting was chaired by Secretary-General Gu Qingshan. He first welcomed all members to take the time to attend the association's conference from their busy schedule.

Then go straight to the theme of the conference, that is the next presidential election.

The presidential election of such an association can be nominated by the director or recommended by himself.

Of course, few people really recommend themselves. Even if they really want to run for election, they will find a familiar director to help recommend it.

There are four people participating in the election this time, one of which is Liu Shujie, who is the premier president and does not need to recommend himself or others, and he automatically has the candidacy.

Before the formal voting election, each candidate must briefly say a few words, say their own election comments, and also look forward to what they will take the association to do after they are elected.

Liu Shujie held the microphone and said for a long time: "Everyone should know me, so there is no need to introduce himself."

"I have served as the president of the association for two terms, so... after thinking about it, I will not participate in the election this time, give the opportunity to someone who is more suitable. I will quit!"

He said it very simply and simply, and announced his withdrawal from the election.

There was a small uproar in the audience, but this was not a big deal, and everyone was just a little surprised.

In fact, many members have long been dissatisfied with Liu Shujie because he has been the president for so many years and has never helped the entire industry do anything.

Under his leadership, the association has long been dead in name only.

The second speaker was Wang Ye.

Wang Ye took the microphone and looked around the venue with a smile. Some people below didn't know Wang Ye. They were a little surprised to see such a young man who actually participated in the presidential election.

Of course, most people still know Wang Ye, they are from the Pengcheng clothing circle, especially those who do women's clothing. How could they not have heard of Wang Ye's name?

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Ye. Some people may not know my name yet, so let's talk about my company. Huashang, THE    TOP                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         �

After saying this, no one below knew about the people below. Although those who knew him immediately applauded warmly to support him.

Those who didn’t know Wang Ye suddenly realized that this was Wang Ye!

When the applause subsided, Wang Ye continued: "Pengcheng is a first-tier city, an international metropolis. In this city, it also has many excellent textile companies."

"So as an industry leader, the Textile Association! I think it should play a greater role and lead the entire textile industry toward glory."

"If I serve as the president of the Textile Association, then I plan to hold Pengcheng Fashion Week at regular intervals every year, such as Paris Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and Milan Fashion Week!"

This plan was a bit shocking to everyone present. Pengcheng held a fashion week?! Do you still have to do it like the four major fashion weeks?

Can it really be done?

But after everyone was shocked, think about it carefully, why can't it be done!

There are several major fashion weeks abroad that they can hold, and there are many clothing companies in Pengcheng, so why can’t we do it?

Obviously, it was obvious that everyone's concerns were seen. Wang Yekeng said strongly: "Only by doing anything first, there is hope for success! In our Pengcheng, there are so many excellent clothing companies, why can't we run our own clothing week well!"

"I believe that as long as everyone works together and participates actively, our Pengcheng Fashion Week will be better than each other. It won't take too long and it will reach the level of the four major fashion weeks."

"At that time, it may not be called the four international fashion weeks, but the five international fashion weeks!"

This ambition is a bit big, but as the president of an industry association, you have to have such great ambitions and courage to lead the entire industry to do better.

The hundreds of people present were all company owners. Since they could make the company quite large, they were obviously smart people.

Everyone knows how important it is to the entire industry with a capable president like Wang Ye who is willing to take the lead.

Wang Ye's ability has long been proven, and everyone knows his influence. Now Wang Ye has expressed his willingness to do things, so why are you hesitating about?

Someone from the audience immediately stood up and shouted: "Mr. Wang, I support you. It's the most appropriate thing for you to do this president!"

Someone took the lead, and many people immediately responded.

"Support Mr. Wang!"

"Dr. Wang must be the president, and I am not convinced by the others!"

"Our association should have someone like Mr. Wang take the lead!"

...

Liu Shujie sat next to him, his face turned blue and white. Compared with Wang Ye, he himself felt his incompetence in the past few years.

Although I don’t know if this Pengcheng Fashion Week can do what Wang Ye said, it’s better to do this than not.

And then Wang Ye will come forward to discuss with the city, asking for venues, support and subsidies, and this may be done well.

With Wang Ye's pearls and jade in front, the other two candidates became foils. One of them simply expressed his withdrawal and supported Wang Ye as president.

By the time the members voted, there were 512 members participating in the vote, and 503 votes were cast for Wang Ye!
