The trip to the Candela Empire is a success for the chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom.

Not only were all the goods brought by the Candela merchants in Canberra City snatched up, but the representatives of the major chambers of commerce also signed investment agreements with the Governor's Office of the Southwestern Province of the Candela Empire.

According to the plan, these chambers of commerce will enter the southwestern province of the Candela Empire in the next six months to select a site, and prepare to invest in the construction of various factories.

This is the first tentative cooperation between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire in the magic industry, if it goes well, the Duke of Mogudu, on behalf of the Candela Empire, has made it clear that he will strengthen further cooperation, introduce more magical machinery-related chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, and may even cooperate in other aspects.

This is of course an outcome that both the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire would like to see.

The Candela Empire hopes to introduce the magic industry through guò, so that the Candela Empire can also have a deep understanding of this emerging industry, so as to achieve the goal of researching and mastering and producing military magic machinery on its own.

And for the Lampari Kingdom, entering the huge market of the Candela Empire is even more of a dream.

After so many years of development, the domestic market is close to saturation, and of course there is a need for new profit growth points.

If you can open up the huge market in the two empires of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire at this time, the benefits to the Lampari Kingdom can be imagined.

As for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represented by Xu Yi, the actual benefits obtained from this trip do not seem to be very large.

Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now nominally subordinate to the Duchy of Stantin, it cannot be counted as the Chamber of Commerce involved in this cooperation between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire. There is no way to take advantage of many of the preferential policies proposed by the Candela Empire in response to this - such as reduced tariffs, investment support policies, and so on......

Seriously. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has just reached a cooperation agreement with Prince Frank to jointly build a magic locomotive factory. Moreover, this magic locomotive factory is still nominally owned by Prince Frank, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only plays a role in assisting.

On the other hand, although the military magic machines sold to Prince Frank's personal guard involved sixteen types, the total amount was not much, and the total amount of the order was barely more than 600,000 gold coins.

Compared with the military magic machinery that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce sold to the military headquarters of the Maro Empire with a total amount of 3.8 million gold coins, it is undoubtedly a small thing.

However, Xu Yi and Prince Frank are very clear that this is just a tentative contact between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire, and there are still many places that need to cooperate in the future.

Perhaps the Candela Empire is confident that it can abandon the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future to study production on its own. But Xu Yi is not worried about this at all.

Moreover, compared to the military magic machinery, Xu Yi paid more attention to the civilian magic machinery, in fact, the cooperation between the Guò Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire made the development momentum even better.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot enjoy tariff preferences because it does not belong to the Lampari Kingdom, all kinds of civilian, especially household magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are originally high-end products with the best quality and strongest performance, and it is normal for the price to be higher than similar household magic machines.

For example, in the current Wimbledon City, it is also the most popular magic air conditioner at present, and the average price of the magic air conditioner produced by several chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom that entered the Candela Empire through guò formal channels is only twenty-five gold coins, while the new flying brand magic air conditioner that has entered the Candela Empire through the channel opened by people like Ambassador Hakanin has soared to a minimum of forty gold coins per unit, and it is in short supply in the aristocratic circles in Wimbledon City.

From this point of view. I have to admit that the nobles in Wimbledon have a really good eye.

Therefore, Xu Yi was not in a hurry at all.

In any case, the production capacity of the new flying chamber of commerce is still limited. The supply has always been far less than the demand, and suddenly a huge market fell in front of it, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was really a little unbearable.

Xu Yi's development strategy for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still to operate steadily, increase production capacity, and enhance the core strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And these core forces include not only technical research, but also the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

After returning from the Candela Empire, Xu Yi and the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce temporarily entered a period of calm.

Of course, this lull period does not mean that nothing will be done, but because everything is being implemented in an orderly manner according to the plan, and it is not too much energy for Xu Yi to deal with it personally.

At present, there are four main development directions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The first point is to further promote the household magic machinery to the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire, and at the same time drive other magic machine-related chambers of commerce into these two empires to popularize the use of household magic machinery on a large scale.

The second point is based on the first point, after the people of the two empires generally accepted the existence of the novelty of magic machines, and promoted other civilian magic machines.

In this regard, the Marlo Empire is ahead of the Candela Empire, because of the Marquis of Southgate, the Marlo Empire has introduced farmland magic machinery to assist in harvesting early, and has already begun to promote farmland transformation on a small scale.

The Marquis of Southgate, who tasted the sweetness of this, and several other nobles certainly did not let go of this opportunity to publicize, so much so that the Ministry of Commerce of the Maro Empire directly ordered a large number of farmland magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and negotiated closely with the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, hoping that the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would help guide the overall farmland transformation within the Maro Empire.

If nothing else, in the next few years, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will focus on the Maro Empire.

The third point is to expand the area under the direct control of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

This is obviously difficult to implement on the Sainz continent, because the Sainz continent has been divided among various countries, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to grab land from other countries unless it starts a war.

With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is of course impossible.

So Xu also set his sights on the sea.

Not only the Duchy of Stantin is bordered by the sea, but also the southern part of the Sainz continent.

What Xu also hopes to achieve is to be able to control a large number of islands in the Endless Sea, and then connect these islands by establishing bases on these islands and arranging magic signal towers, and then use the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to escort the fleet to actually control them.

At present, the progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this regard can only be said to have just begun, less than one-fifth.

So far, there are just over a hundred islands in the control of the new flying chambers, half of which are concentrated along the coast of the Duchy of Stantin.

In the southern waters of the Sainz Continent, at present, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only controls less than fifty islands in a scattered manner, and they are only relying on the powerful indirect control of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is not really completely controlled.

Xu also plans to continue to invest no less than 10 million gold coins in this area in the next five years, and continue to strengthen control.

The last point, and the most crucial point, is to strengthen the formation of the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

After years of continuous development and Xu Yi's substantial investment at almost any cost, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now become an armed force with a total of more than 8,000 people, including elite warriors of humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs, equipped with the latest types of military magic machinery researched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although they have not experienced many tests of actual battles, the military representatives of both the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom did not hesitate to say that although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team is only 8,000 people, its combat effectiveness is enough to be equivalent to the 50,000 legions of these two countries.

As for the comparison with the traditional armies on the continent of Sainz...... That's not comparable at all.

However, Xu also felt that it was far from enough.

To this end, he directly doubled the original Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual investment of 1.5 million gold coins in the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, rising to 3 million gold coins a year.

This resolution was unanimously opposed by the high-level leaders of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because they felt that with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team, it was enough to defend, and there was no need to increase investment at all.

However, Xu Yi hopes that what the escort team can do is not only to easily defend the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or even the entire Duchy of Stantin, but to be able to attack at any time and achieve the goal when necessary.

Therefore, despite all the opposition of other high-level officials, Xu Yi still took out the authority of the president and forcibly passed the resolution.

In fact, it can't be blamed for the opposition of those high-level officials, the original investment of 1.5 million gold coins a year by the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already very exaggerated.

You must know that in several surrounding countries, even the Ruerson Kingdom, which has strengthened its military investment because of the threat of the Candela Empire, has only two million gold coins in its annual military budget this year.

As for the Lampari Kingdom, which has become rich in recent years and its military budget has also increased significantly, its annual military expenditure is only about 1.5 million gold coins.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a small chamber of commerce, has invested enough money for its own escort team compared to these two kingdoms, which is already incredible.

Now Xu Yi has to double it, which is simply crazy in the eyes of others.

However, many of the things Xu Ye did seemed to others to be crazy, and one more thing made everyone feel too surprised.

It's just that the crowd still doesn't understand.

In the final analysis, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, and it is not a country, so what do you want to do with so much capital investment in upgrading your own escort team?

In early September, a clash on the southwestern border of the Kingdom of Sark seemed to indirectly answer the questions in everyone's minds. (To be continued......)
