Chapter 14: New Profit Growth Points
"Haha, President Xu, it's been a long time. Count Stark greeted Xu Yi with a smile that looked very enthusiastic.
Unlike the city lord who had just succeeded him as the city lord of Bonta City more than a month ago, and immediately showed obvious hostility to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, today's Earl Stark is like a different person, and after seeing Xu Yi, it is like seeing an old friend, and his enthusiastic appearance makes the eyes of the people around him widen involuntarily.
Xu Yi also did not put on a-for-tat appearance when he first saw him, but also wore an extremely kind smile, greeted him and respectfully saluted Earl Stark.
"Lord Castle, it's a great honor to have you personally come out to greet you. β
"Where, President Xu, you are my distinguished guest invited by me today, of course, you have to welcome you well. Come, please come in. Count Stark made a gesture of invitation to Xu Yi, and his eyes fell on Deliel behind him, and his puzzled eyes flashed.
"This is the business manager of our plastics processing plant under the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Deliel. Xu Yi immediately explained. "As you can see, she's an elf from the Nightsong clan. β
Facing Deliel, Count Stark was not so enthusiastic, just nodded slightly at Deliel, and then took the lead towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Xu Yi followed Count Stark into the familiar banquet hall, and saw at a glance the presidents of other major chambers of commerce in Bonta City who were already waiting here in the hall.
Seeing that Count Stark personally led Xu Yi in, President Cruise, who was not far away, greeted Xu Yi with a hint of mockery in the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Of course, this was not for Xu Yi, but because of Earl Stark's actions.
In just over a month since Earl Stark succeeded as Lord of Bonta City. Because of the policy of suppressing business and rejuvenating agriculture vigorously promoted. The chambers of commerce in Bonta City have been suppressed in different ways.
Among them, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, which was the first to say that it was advancing and retreating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, were the most directly targeted. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly evacuated Bangta City, and the losses were not strictly speaking. The Amrley Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, was too deeply rooted in Bonta City to completely withdraw in a short period of time, so the impact was much greater, and the losses were also much greater.
Because of this, President Cruise was very dissatisfied with Count Stark, and now seeing that he had to change his attitude, he was forced to gather the presidents of the major chambers of commerce tonight. even went out to greet Xu Yi in person, and President Cruise was naturally happy.
For in his opinion, it was a clear indication that Earl Stark had been forced to bow his proud head.
President Cruise gloated over this.
In addition to President Cruise, the presidents of other major chambers of commerce in the hall also greeted him when they saw Xu Yi coming in.
Although no one was as obvious as President Cruise, judging by the relaxed smiles on everyone's faces, they were equally excited that Count Stark had changed his attitude.
After all, these chambers of commerce are the chambers of commerce of Bonta City, and Count Stark is the lord of Bonta City. If you are determined to carry out the policy of suppressing business and rejuvenating agriculture, and suppress the major chambers of commerce. Although these chambers of commerce have different forces behind them, there are not many better ways to compete with Earl Stark.
But then again, it is precisely because these major chambers of commerce have the support of different forces behind them, and the Earl Stark's suppression of the major chambers of commerce has caused the forces behind them to suffer, so although the Count of Stark represents the will of the stubborn old school in the Lampari Kingdom this time, and has the support of the Stark family, he does not dare to do things absolutely and must compromise.
But he didn't go out to greet anyone in person, but he went to greet Xu Yi, which is really intriguing.
After Xu Yi entered the banquet hall, three more groups of guests arrived, and all the guests arrived, and Earl Stark came to the stage to make a brief opening speech, and then announced the official opening of the banquet.
President Cruise immediately found Xu Yi.
"Hey, President Xu, is our beloved Lord trying to target you?" asked President Cruise.
"It shouldn't be. Xu Yi shook his head. "Everyone knows that there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and him, so no one will doubt me because of this. He did this simply to show me his attitude. β
"His attitude? You don't think he's going to turn around and show your support, do you?" President Cruise said. "That's obviously not possible. As far as I can guess, this time he just wants to cooperate with our chamber of commerce and relieve his pressure. β
"What does he have to work with you?"
"You should ask him about this. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and turned sideways slightly, revealing Deliel behind him. "Come, don't discuss this pointless thing, I'll introduce it to you, it's ......"
"Miss Deliel, aren't you? We met the last time Miss Steele came to Bonta City with her. President Cruise cut off Xu Yi's beard, bowed slightly, and stretched out his right hand to Deliel. "It's a pleasure to see you again, beautiful Miss Dressier. β
Deliel hesitated for a moment, then reached out for President Cruise to finish kissing her hand, and responded, "I'm glad to meet you, Your Excellency President Cruise." Last time, Miss Steele introduced me to you and said that you were President Hsu's best partner. β
President Cruise laughed, "Of course." If you don't believe me, can President Koh find a closer partner in Bonta City besides me?"
Xu Yi smiled and said, "President Cruise is right, for now, the cooperative relationship between our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Amrley Chamber of Commerce is the closest. But well...... I just don't know if the Amritri Chamber of Commerce will be able to continue this cooperative relationship with us after it goes to other countries to develop in the future. β
President Cruise's expression moved, and he didn't care about Xu Yi's ridicule in his words, and asked Xu Yi, "Have you already negotiated with Newman?"
"It wasn't a thorough negotiation, but I don't think it would be a big problem to negotiate in the end. Before Newman leaves, let me advise you. I hope that your Amritri Chamber of Commerce will be able to recruit more of their local workers in the Kingdom of Ruerson. This will make it easier for them to support you. Xu Yidao.
"You promised him?"
"So I'm not trying to persuade you?" said Xu Yi with his hands outstretched.
President Cruise was slightly stunned: "Why did you agree to build yì? Don't you know if you recruit local workers from the Ruerson Kingdom." Sooner or later, the technology that is currently unique to our Chamber of Commerce will be stolen?"
"The technology is actually here, and it's not so easy to steal. Xu Yi pointed to his head. "What's more, if you want to stay ahead of the curve, the best way is not to prevent technology leakage, but to vigorously develop new technologies on this basis and maintain your own technological leadership. Remember, technology is what industry is all about. β
"That's a nice thing to say. President Cruise smiled wryly. "You're not worried about this, that's because the new flying chamber of commerce has too much technology that is completely ahead, and it's not afraid of losing one or two at all. And our Amritri Chamber of Commerce currently has a lot of leading technology that is unique to it. It can't be as extravagant as you. β
"Have you ever heard of a phrase called technology in exchange for the market?" Xu Yi asked again.
"What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, it is to release your own unique technology, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by this technology, so as to impress everyone with this technology and make everyone need this technology. As a result, there is a natural market for this technology. In the current situation of your Amritri Chamber of Commerce, in fact, the sooner you lay a complete road transportation network, the better it will be for your Chamber of Commerce to benefit from this. Xu Yidao.
President Cruise frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Maybe you're right. But I don't think there's any need to rush at all. As long as our chamber of commerce persevers in paving the road, sooner or later a complete road transportation network will be built. When the time comes. Everyone will still feel the convenience brought by the road, and the business of our chamber of commerce will still not be bad. β
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
Compared to him, President Cruise is a real businessman, and he wants the Amrley Chamber of Commerce to quickly pave roads and build a complete road transportation network in order to further his next vision, but from the perspective of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, he is certainly not willing to do so.
Because in this way, it is equivalent to compressing their total profits, and also shortening their profit cycle.
For the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, a long-established chamber of commerce with a history of more than 100 years, it is natural to pay more attention to the long history.
Xu also knew that words alone would never convince President Cruise.
In the words he had just taught Deliel, the only thing that can impress a businessman is profit.
"Alright then, Cruise, let's negotiate a deal. Xu Yi thought for a while.
Hearing that Xu Yi rarely ignored the title of "president" in his address to himself, President Cruise raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that what Xu Yi was about to say must be very important, and suddenly became cautious, nodded to Xu Yi, and said, "Say it." β
"If your AmritΓ© Chamber of Commerce can complete the laying of all the road and road networks in our Lampari Kingdom, Ruerson Kingdom, and Principality of Stanting, including the Black Rice Wasteland, within five years, then I will develop an extremely stable and promising profit growth point for your Chamber of Commerce, what do you think of this deal?" Xu Yi asked.
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi incredulously, if it weren't for Xu Yi's solemn expression, he would definitely think that Xu Yi was joking.
If Xu Yi's transaction involved money, technology, and other practical items, then he would never be surprised, but he didn't expect that Xu Yi would actually open his mouth and say that he wanted to give their Chamber of Commerce a profit growth point?
He thought this thing could be owned by just talking about it, right?
If there is such a good thing, why don't the new flying chambers of commerce use it themselves?
"Because our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only focus on the magic industry, although this profit growth point has good prospects and almost infinite potential, it actually belongs to the business scope of your Aimli Chamber of Commerce, and I am not interested in interfering. Xu Yizheng said.
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi for a long time in confusion: "It belongs to the business scope of our Chamber of Commerce?
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "That's right, it's to build a house." (To be continued......)
