In addition to Lord Castle and Baron Billier, there were also some people who had rushed to hear the news like President Cruise.

Most of them are the heads of the major chambers of commerce that have business dealings with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including even Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Without exception, these people are concerned about the sudden decision of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to relocate the entire factory, and the focus of attention is naturally on whether this relocation will affect the orders signed with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had only moved from here to Sanchiton Manor, which was not far away, and that normal production would resume within a week at the earliest, everyone was relieved.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone's eyes naturally focused on the Count of Satsuma and Baron Billier.

Most of their eyes were on Baron Billier.

The people who appeared here were all well-informed people in Bangta City, how could they not know the inside story of the sudden relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It should be said that Baron Bilier suddenly made such an unreasonable request this time, which surprised everyone.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is clearly very promising, even if the Stark family does not attach great importance to it, but at least it should not put on this attitude for no reason and almost sever the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Baron Billier still made that hangy appearance in front of everyone, and when he saw everyone's eyes focused, he smiled, came to Xu Yi, looked at Xu Yi with slanted eyes, and said, "President Xu, for the sake of Count Satsuma's face, I will give you a few days of grace." But don't blame me for not reminding you if you haven't done it yet. Don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help frowning.

Is this Baron Bilier having a grudge against Xu Yi or what?Why do you target him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like this?

Xu Yi's face was calm. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Please rest assured, Lord Baron, with our current relocation progress." It will be over before the day after tomorrow, and it will not delay your planning for this territory. ”

Baron Bilier nodded slightly: "It's pretty much the same. If you delay my business, you will look good then. ”

The brows of the people around him furrowed even deeper.

Judging from the news they inquired, this matter was unreasonable at all from beginning to end, but now he is still putting on such a face in front of Xu Yi, even if he has a similar relationship with Xu Yi, it will inevitably make people feel indignant.

However, everyone here is a seasoned man, and no one will contradict Baron Bilier to his face at this time.

This guy clearly put on a squishy face, but he just doesn't reason with you. If you argue with him, it's useless to say it, and you have to offend him or even the Stark family behind him, but no one would be so stupid.

Xu Yi looked at Baron Bilier and suddenly asked, "Lord Baron, I have a question I want to ask." ”

"What's the problem?" said Baron Billier nonchalantly.

"Are you sure you won't regret it later?"

Count Satsuma, who had just said hello to Xu Yi since he came, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Xu Yi with some surprise.

This Xu Yi, on the surface, seems to have been able to maintain a calm attitude towards this matter. But judging from the fact that he asked this question, he still held back a little anger in his heart after all.

The people around were also slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Yi's question was not polite at all.

Baron Bilier was stunned, then let out a sneer. Said disdainfully: "Regret it? Why should I regret it? I said Xu Yi, although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed at a good speed, you have made a lot of money in the past year. But don't think too much about yourself. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in Bonta City, what qualifications do you have for me to regret it? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Xu Yi stared at Baron Bilier for a while, until he felt a little uncomfortable. Glaring back at Xu Yi angrily, he retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: "Okay, I understand, thank you for your answer, Lord Baron." ”

Baron Bilier looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, and snorted coldly: "Xu Yi, I originally thought that I hadn't seen anything I didn't want to see from those messy newspapers in the past few days, and I thought you were at least a smart person." Now that you look at it, you're not that smart. ”

The relocation of the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as big news for Bangta City and several surrounding cities.

Normally, the newspapers in these cities would have made a big splash and investigated why.

But this time, more than a dozen newspapers in several cities reported on the incident as a very ordinary story.

As for the reason for the sudden decision to relocate by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is uniformly explained that this is the development strategy set by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

The reason why these more than ten newspapers reached such a unified voice was that in addition to Xu Yi's request, Count Satsuma and Count Annaris, the lord of Kalmar, naturally played a role.

Of course, Baron Bilier knew this, so he rarely praised Xu Yi for being a smart person.

As for him saying that he was not smart now, Xu Yi naturally didn't bother to argue, smiled at him, ignored it, and turned around to talk to the heads of other chambers of commerce around him.

After he and everyone determined the next steps of the process of completing the order, everyone left one after another, and at this time, Count Satsuma came over.

Glancing at the departing carriages, Count Satsuma said, "Not bad. Moving such a large factory was a complicated affair and in such a hurry. I thought you were going to be in a hurry this time, but now it seems that you have arranged all the work so well that I can't help but express my appreciation. ”

"The Earl has won the prize. Xu Yi smiled and said modestly. "You didn't come here today to see how we moved, did you?"

"That's one of the reasons. Count Satsuma pointed to the office in the distance. "We'll sit down and talk about the rest. ”

Xu was also a little puzzled, if there was something important, why didn't he call himself to the City Lord's Mansion to talk?

The two walked into the office, which had not yet begun to move. Xu Yi poured the water, and then sat down separately.

Count Satsuma paused. Pointing out the window, he asked Xu Yi, "What do you think of those young men from the city guards?"

Xu Yiyi was stunned, but he didn't expect that Count Satsuma would actually pull on the city guards who came to help relocate.

I thought about it. Xu Yi nodded and replied, "Great." It can be seen that their bodies are very strong, and if all the troops of our Lampari Kingdom have such a vegetarian zhì, then the army of our Lampari Kingdom may be able to rank up in the entire Sainz Continent. ”

"You're exaggerating. Count Satsuma waved his hand. "There are many factors that determine the strength of a country's army, and the physical quality of the soldiers is only one aspect, in addition, there are also equipment, logistics and many other aspects that are equally important. Among them, the most direct point that determines the level of combat effectiveness in battle is equipment. ”

Xu Yi was shocked.

The Count of Satsuma is certainly not a man who likes to talk nonsense. But what does he mean by talking to himself about soldier equipment?

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi could only reluctantly nodded: "Well, I agree." ”

Count Satsuma continued to ask, "Xu Yi, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now able to mass-produce a series of iron magic machines such as magic fans, magic rice cookers, and so on with magic machine tools, right?"

"Well, that's true. ”

"Then you ......" Count Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi, paused, and said lightly in a tone that didn't seem to care much: "It shouldn't be a problem to develop a magic machine tool that can mass-produce armor weapons, right?"

Xu Yi's hands shook slightly. I almost didn't hold the teacup in my hand.

After settling down, Xu Yi asked Count Satsuma in a deep voice, "Lord of the city, what do you mean by this?"

"What? Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Count Satsuma stared at Xu Yi and said with a stern expression, "Let me ask you." Are you sure you'll be able to develop a magic machine tool that can produce armor and weapons that soldiers need with high efficiency and in large quantities, just like magic fans and magic rice cookers?"

Xu Yi was silent for a while, and then replied with some difficulty: "Theoretically...... No problem. Even many of the magic machines we use now, including the magic press, only need to be slightly modified. You can complete a relatively simple armor casting. As for weapons...... It depends on what kind of weapon it is. ”

Count Satsuma's eyes lit up and he asked, "What about bows and arrows, for example?"

"The words of the bow...... I don't really know what kind of bow I'm using right now. So there is no way to answer. But if you talk about arrows alone, if you only build pure steel arrows. In fact, it is not more troublesome than making screws, and even simpler from a process point of view. As for the shaft of the arrow...... If you want to create a one-piece pure steel arrow, the casting process is slightly more troublesome, but if you only need to create a separate alloy steel arrow, or a plastic arrow, the process is not too troublesome. It's a bit difficult to develop the corresponding magic machine, but I think it should be fine. But the development of these things will hinder the research and development of our Chamber of Commerce's civilian magic machinery, I think ......"

"Wait a minute...... the expression on Count Satsuma's face was a little confused, he raised his hand to signal Xu Yi to pause, thought about it, frowned and asked, "What are the alloy steel and plastic you are talking about?"

Xu Yi was stunned, and then he realized that he was answering according to the standards on the earth, but he forgot that the understanding of the materials used in various mechanical processes in this world is still very shallow.

Alloy steel, at least everyone has seen it in automatic magic rice cookers and magic bread machines, but what about plastic...... Research is still being conducted in the Nightsong Clan, and it's still a short time before it actually comes out.

"Both of these are special process materials, which can have different effects depending on the material. For example, the material used in the manufacture of automatic magic rice cookers and magic bread machines is a kind of alloy steel that we have recently researched. This alloy steel, which I name Silver Leaf Steel, is lighter than ordinary iron, but its hardness is no worse than that of iron, and it does not rust. ”

"Wouldn't it be better to use this silver-leaf steel to forge armor and weapons?" asked Count Satsuma at once.

Xu Yi hesitated: "This ...... I'm not sure. Because the armor and weapons worn by soldiers require many extreme requirements, and Silver Leaf Steel has not been tested to the real limits at present, and we cannot determine whether it can bear the casting needs of armor and weapons. ”

"Since there is silver leaf steel, that means there must be other alloy steels as you mentioned, so among these alloy steels, there should be alloy steels that are more suitable for making zuò armor and weapons, right?" Count Satsuma was a little desperate.

"This ...... There should be. Xu Yi could only nod helplessly.

"Very good!" Count Satsuma slapped the table, laughed twice, and then patted Xu Yi's shoulder hard, and said excitedly: "I originally just wanted you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop the magic machine tool I need, but I didn't expect to ask for more useful things from you." Xu Yi, Xu Yi, I really didn't expect you to hide so many treasures. If I don't ask, aren't you going to say it?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord City Lord, this is a trade secret of our Chamber of Commerce after all, if you didn't take the initiative to ask, how could I reveal it lightly." ”

"Trade secrets?" Count Satsuma shook his head with a smile. "In the face of the interests of the whole kingdom, a few trade secrets are nothing. Okay, Xu Yi, I'll give you two choices now. The first option is to promise me to develop the magic machine I just mentioned for the kingdom, and at the same time develop the alloy steel and plastic you just mentioned. The second option is to reject me, and then you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will fend for itself. Which do you choose?"

Xu Yi could only continue to smile helplessly: "Lord City Lord, do I have a choice?" (to be continued......)
