"Grow up......"

Sebas handed Xu Yi the financial statements of the new flying chamber last month in his hand, with a strange face.

"What's wrong?, what's the problem?" Xu Yi took it and asked a little strangely.

"Nothing was a problem, it was just...... Last month, the profit of our chamber of commerce was actually ...... It's still going up!"

Looking at Sebas's incredible expression, Xu Yi smiled, flipped through the financial statements in his hand, and found that it was exactly as Sebas said.

According to statistics, the net profit obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after putting aside all costs last month actually exceeded one million gold coins!

This is not only a significant increase from the previous months, but even a lot higher than the same period last year.

It's no wonder that Sebas's performance is so weird, because according to the original expectation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely be affected by the ban of the Magical Industry Administration, and the overall performance will decline sharply, and the profit will fall sharply.

However, the reality is different from what most people expected.

Although in the first month after the ban was issued by the Magical Industry Administration, the new flying chamber of commerce saw a serious drop in both sales performance and total profits, but from the second month onwards, the downward trend has completely stopped, and continues to improve, even surpassing the same period last month.

"There's nothing surprising about that. Kennard, the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce on the side, smiled: "Although we can't produce magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom because of the ban of the Authority, the Commerce Agency has not banned us from continuing to sell magic machinery in the Kingdom, so in fact, it doesn't make much difference." ”

"Hmm. Although the overall relocation of the factory floor has affected production, it has been so long now. Our Chamber of Commerce has resumed normal production. In fact, it is not much different from before. If you want to compare. Because we don't need to be limited by the overall planning of the rain valley as before, on the contrary, the factory floor has been built a lot more than before, and the production capacity has been greatly increased. Ankato, head of the Department of Household Magic Machinery, added.

"yes, those idiots in the Administration never thought that after giving this damn ban to our Chamber of Commerce, those people in the kingdom would be more willing to buy our Chamber of Commerce's magic machinery, right?"

"That is, now there is even a campaign in Bangta City, calling on everyone to buy only the new flying brand magic machinery in the future. Resist the magic machinery of the ten chambers of commerce. ”

"I've heard that, too. I heard that this event was quite a big one, and even several surrounding cities joined in. Right now, the magic machinery of other chambers of commerce can't be sold in Bonta City and several surrounding cities......"

......

Listening to the discussion of everyone in the conference room, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Those people from the Magical Industry Administration issued such a ban on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, apparently wanting to directly put the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to death.

However, they never imagined that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would actually build a new production base on the Black Rice Wasteland in a short period of time, and it only took more than a month to resume normal production.

However, the Magical Industry Administration's treatment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has caused many people to question and anger in the Lampari Kingdom.

Thanks to the many newspapers and public propaganda close to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is now a wave of support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and a boycott of the Magical Industry Administration in the Lamari Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this wave that the sales performance of the new flying chamber of commerce will rebound sharply in the first few months. Even last month, there was a new breakthrough, with a record monthly profit surpassing the one million gold coin mark.

And correspondingly. The various types of household magic machinery produced by the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration were unanimously boycotted by the people in the Lampari Kingdom, and the sales were extremely dismal.

There were even demonstrations against the ten chambers of commerce in many cities one after another, and the sales points of the ten chambers of commerce in these cities were smashed too much, which can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire kingdom.

After knowing these things, Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

Compared with ordinary people, he certainly knows more things, and he naturally sees them more clearly.

He knew that the attitude of these people in their hearts to support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may be true, but the subsequent riots or something, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

There is a great possibility that these people are being used at all.

The cities where these things happened were clearly the same ones that had previously expressed support for Sevigny, and it could be said that they were completely different from the stubborn old-school aristocrats represented by the current King Eric and the Magical Industry Administration.

By saying this, they are undoubtedly making a statement and demonstrating to the other faction.

And this ban issued by the Magic Industry Administration against the new flying chamber of commerce gave them a pretty good excuse.

So strictly speaking, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now also being used.

However, Xu also didn't pay much attention to this.

The faction represented by King Eric made it clear that he would not have any support for him, and was still suppressing him everywhere, so he naturally didn't need to think about anything for them.

Even if Severny is willing to stand up and shout now, it is entirely possible that Xu will immediately express his strong support for her.

However, when he thought of Sevigny, Xu Yi could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Since the last time he brought over the 500 personal guards and handed them over to Xu Yi and asked them to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to carry out a cleanup operation against the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland, Sevini went straight back to his private territory, and it is said that he has not left the territory for more than two months.

In doing so, she apparently made it clear to everyone that she would not interfere in any of the Kingdom's internal affairs.

Those cities that support her make these things, I'm afraid it's just playing the piano to the cow.

"Well, I don't have any thoughts about the Lampari Kingdom for the time being. Xu Yi sighed slightly in his heart, and raised his hand to interrupt the heated discussion of everyone in the conference room.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, Xu Yi glanced at the financial statements in his hand again, and said to Sebas: "Sebas, don't be too happy. I'm sure, next month. Or next month. Or even for many months. The financial statements of our Chamber of Commerce will not look good. ”

Sebas's face immediately changed: "Elder, have you thought of any ideas that require a large amount of investment? I have to warn you, our Chamber of Commerce has invested too much this year, and now there is actually not much money left. If you don't pay attention to that, we're going to be in trouble. ”

"I don't need you to remind me of this, I know it very well. Xu Yi waved his hand. "Investing in this kind of thing is meant to make money, not because of temporary financial difficulties. Isn't it necessary to resist investment? And have I lost any money on all the investments I've made so far?"

Everyone in the meeting room was silent.

Everyone recalled in their minds all the investment actions made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce since its establishment, and found that it was indeed as Xu Yi said, there was no loss, but no matter what investment, no matter how unfavored it was at the beginning, and even reprimanded Xu Yi was crazy, in the end, it was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that made a lot of money.

After going through so many things, no one within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will question any of Xu Yi's investment decisions at all.

But if it's serious. Xu Yi still had an investment failure, and this failure was extremely strict. It is still having a profound impact on new flyers.

That is the investment in Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sevigny.

Of course, this is a political investment, but it is not the same thing as a business investment.

"Well, Elder, I'm not questioning your idea of investing, but I just want to remind you to pay attention to the current financial situation of the Chamber of Commerce. Sebas thought for a moment and tactfully continued, "If it's not a very necessary investment project, you'd better wait a few months for me to build it, at least after the base on the Black Rice Wasteland is fully completed." ”

"I wrote this down. But Sebas, I suddenly found ...... I'm completely biased by you. Actually, I don't want to say that it's not because I've thought of a new investment, but because I received a message that will make our chamber's financial statements look ugly for the next few months. ”

"What's the news?" a group of people looked at Xu Yi curiously.

A piece of news will lead to such a large Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profits falling in the eyes of a few months?

Xu Yi put down the financial statements, and his expression became slightly more solemn.

"According to the latest information I have received, the Commercial Department of the Kingdom of Lampari is about to introduce a new regulation to classify the various commodities used for circulation in the Kingdom. Goods produced in the kingdom and sold in the kingdom are grouped together with those sold within the kingdom and are considered to be goods circulating within the kingdom. Commodities produced in the Kingdom and sold to other countries and regions are classified as a category and are considered to be exported abroad......"

"And what about us now that we produce in other places and sell it to the kingdom?" Ankato couldn't help but interrupt Xu Yi's words.

Looking at Ankato, who looked eager, Xu Yi said in a deep voice: "This kind of goods are the same as those produced in other countries and regions, but sold to the Kingdom of Lampari, which can be regarded as imported goods. ”

Kennard immediately raised his eyebrows: "So, the goods we sell to the kingdom now will be the same as imported goods, and they will need to pay import duties?"

"That's right. Xu Yi nodded slightly.

As soon as the words fell, there was an immediate bang in the conference room, and everyone couldn't help but shout.

"Wouldn't it, our Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce of the Lampari Kingdom, how can it be considered an imported commodity?"

"That's right. We are a chamber of commerce under the name of Bonta City, and we are obviously a local chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, so why should we count our things as imports? Could it be that if we build a production base outside, it will be considered a foreign chamber of commerce?"

"Hmph! What's so incomprehensible about this? It's clear that those ten chambers of commerce can't compete with us, and they have thought of a new shameless trick!"

"Yes, it must be! These guys are shameless!"

"It's despicable! It's outrageous!"

......

Xu Yi waited quietly for a while, and then everyone slowly calmed down and focused their eyes on Xu Yi again.

"I understand your anger. But to be honest, when I received the news, I wasn't very angry, but I thought it was very funny. Xu Yi really laughed. "Come to think of it, they could even get the Magical Industry Administration to ban us from producing magical machinery in the Kingdom, so it's not surprising that such a ban was issued immediately after, was it?"

Kennard frowned slightly: "But Lord General, in this case, if we continue to sell magic machinery to the Lampari Kingdom, the cost will be greatly increased because we need to pay import duties." Profits are much less. ”

"So I said, the financial statements are going to be ugly for the next few months. Xu Yi spread his hands and smiled. "After all, the Kingdom of Lampari is currently the largest market for our Chamber of Commerce, and we will definitely be affected by the strictness. ”

Ankato thought for a moment and said loudly, "Lord Grown, then we might as well raise the price, right?"

"No, I can't. Xu Yi immediately shook his head.

"Why not?" said Ankato, puzzled. "It's all a problem with the Commerce Agency, and there's nothing wrong with us raising the price because the Commerce Department unilaterally raised tariffs, right?"

"It's not what I'd like to do to pass the Commerce Department's problems to ordinary people who need to buy magic machines. Seeing that Ankato seemed to want to say more, Xu Yi accentuated his tone: "I have already decided on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it again." ”

Ankato paused, and could only obediently swallow back the words that had reached the edge of his throat.

Kennard glanced at Ankato, thinking to himself that this guy had been with the Elder for long enough, so why didn't he know the Lord's personality?

After thinking for a while, Kennard asked Xu Yi, "Then what should we do next, Lord?"

Facing everyone's gaze at the news, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I said a long time ago that what our chamber of commerce needs to do is to make a big cake, not to grab the cake from others. Since the Kingdom of Lampari does not welcome us, we turn our attention to more places that welcome us. On this continent, the Kingdom of Lampari is not the only country, is it?"
