"Why didn't you agree to this agreement, President?" Kennard asked as he watched the carriage carrying Wilson disappear at the far end of the road.

Xu Yi smiled and asked, "You ask this question, are you from the position of the heir of the Emma family, or from the position of the CEO of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Kennard was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and then replied: "No matter which position you stand on, I feel that this agreement is very worth signing. From the perspective of the Emma family, the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can not only make the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce earn a lot of benefits, but also open up foreign markets with novel and easy-to-use magic machinery, which is of course very beneficial. ”

"So what about the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu also asked.

"From the point of view of our new flying chamber of commerce, this agreement is also very beneficial to us. Sooner or later, our chamber of commerce will transfer its target abroad, rather than groping for it by itself, it is better to cooperate with the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce, which can save a lot of trouble and obstacles, which is very helpful to the development of our chamber of commerce. Kennard replied.

"I must say that you are quite right. But...... I don't want the development of our chamber of commerce to be controlled by others, do you understand?"

Kennard looked at Xu Yi in amazement, both surprised by his answer and shocked by how bluntly he told himself.

After all, he is still a member of the Emma family, and he is telling this reason to make himself understand, or does he want the Walmart Chamber of Commerce to understand?

However, Xu Yi always maintained a gentle smile on his face, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all.

Kennard couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The longer I work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the longer I get along with Xu Yi. He found that he couldn't understand Xu Yi more and more.

"But you don't have to worry so much. Although I did not promise to sign this agreement. But it's not completely against it, is it?" saw the look on Kennard's face, Xu Yi smiled. "At least I still hope to continue to expand cooperation with the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce, for example, I appreciate the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce for selling all kinds of magic machinery produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to more countries and regions. ”

Kennard thought about it, decided to give up asking Xu Yi's true thoughts, and muttered: "But President, you promised to sell five hundred freight magic locomotives to the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." We haven't even fully completed the order for Fillson Motors at the moment. And we have promised many chambers of commerce that they will also provide magic locomotives after completing the magic locomotive order of Filson Motors, so how can we come up with so many products?"

"Rest assured, when Camby and others go further in the research and development of automatic magic machine tools, you will find that our production efficiency will be greatly improved, but it is still no problem to squeeze out 500 magic locomotives from the middle to supply them to the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Even with the automatic magic machine, I still think it's a big problem. Kennard frowned.

Xu Yi laughed: "This trouble will be handed over to you, the CEO, to have a headache, this is your responsibility." ”

Kennard smiled bitterly, "Lord, you're really good at pushing trouble on me. ”

Xu Yi snorted coldly: "Don't forget, I still need to deal with a bigger trouble." And this trouble has a lot to do with you. ”

Kennard could only smile bitterly again: "Elder, Sophia is here for this time. I hope you can take care of it. ”

Xu Yi sighed helplessly, thinking to himself if he wanted to be a nanny?

###

The leaves of the trees in Bonta City were falling again, but it was late autumn again.

Unlike last year, when it was a little bleak, this year, with the replacement of Sevigny as the city lord, the business environment in Bonta City has greatly improved, and the whole city seems to be revitalized.

Although the autumn breeze has brought a hint of coolness, the streets and alleys are still full of bustling people, setting off the whole city with a lively atmosphere.

Sevini glanced at the thriving bazaar and the busy but unusually full people from a distance through the window of the City Lord's Mansion, and involuntarily showed a heartfelt smile of satisfaction on his face, and sighed softly: "It would be great if our entire Lampari Kingdom could become so prosperous everywhere. ”

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I am confident that your expectations will come true. A middle-aged man standing behind Sevigny smiled in response.

"Really?" Sevini turned around, glanced at the middle-aged man, and sat back on the chair that belonged to her, but did not signal the middle-aged man to sit down opposite him as he usually did with Xu Yi, but with a hint of majesty in his expression, he said to the middle-aged man: "Norrie, of course my father sent you to check on my governance of Bunta City, what do you think after seeing it now?"

The middle-aged man known as Norrie bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully: "From what I have seen, the prosperity of Bonta City is almost comparable to that of Anwemar City, and even the measures in many places are more complete and advanced than Anwemar City. For example, the magic street lamp alone is incomparable to Anweimar City. ”

Sevini smiled slightly: "If you knew that it cost 200,000 gold coins to install magic street lamps throughout the city of Bonta City, maybe you wouldn't be so respectful. ”

Norrie grinned, and said with a smile: "This proves that the financial situation of Bunta City is very good, so it can afford to spend a full 200,000 gold coins just to lay the magic street lamp." Your Royal Highness, the financial situation of Bonta City is so good, and naturally it has a lot to do with your governance. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. But since I became the lord of the city, I haven't done much. The reason why the city of Bangta is in such a good financial situation in the future is entirely because of the activity of the major chambers of commerce in the city. According to financial statistics last month, the commercial tax paid by the major chambers of commerce in Bangta City alone has exceeded 500,000 gold coins. ”

Norrie raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a look of shock.

"That's 500,000 gold coins a month? Wouldn't it be more than 5 million gold coins at least in a year?"

Sevigny's smile was smug with a hint of self-satisfaction, but he still shook his head reservedly and said, "It's not entirely like that. The commercial tax is not very fixed, and the reason why they were able to collect so much commercial tax last month is also because many chambers of commerce in the city completed several large orders last month, which made them pay a lot more commercial tax. ”

Norrie nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Your Royal Highness, can I ask, how much business tax has been paid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Sevini looked like he had expected you to ask, and chuckled, "Less than 200,000 gold coins." ”

"That's not right, is it?" Norrie frowned. "Judging from the number of jù I know, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already paid more than 200,000 gold coins in the month before this, why did other chambers of commerce increase last month, but it will decrease?"

"Norrie, it seems that my father didn't explain everything to you. Let me remind you that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce with free trade rights specially approved by the Royal Assembly. ”

Norrie was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood.

"So...... Last month, the main business of the new flying chamber of commerce was to conduct transactions with other countries?"

"That's right. Sevini nodded. "In fact, most of the local business of the new company is in a downward trend, because the new company is moving many factories out of Bang Ta City and into other cities to invest and build. Last month, the largest transaction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was the sale of 3,000 magic machine tools to the Kingdom of Ruersun. As for the rest of the trade, most of it was with other cities in the kingdom. According to the rules of the kingdom, we can only collect a small part of the commercial tax on these trade incomes. ”

Norrie frowned: "Why do you want to move out? Could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intends to give up Bangta City? Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the most important chamber of commerce in Bangta City, and it is also the most important source of financial revenue for Bangta City. ”

"Norrie, you're too short-sighted. Severny shook his head slowly. "I am not opposed to this approach of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but I am very supportive. Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did bring great changes to Bonta City, the small city is now almost the most prosperous city in the entire kingdom. But Xu Yi is right, only changing one city in Bangta City will be of limited help to the entire Lampari Kingdom, and only by changing all the cities in the entire kingdom will the Lampari Kingdom become truly strong. ”

"Is this what President Hsu said himself?" Norrie said in surprise.

"Of course. Severny nodded affirmatively. "Xu Yi's goals and ideals are definitely much more ambitious than you think. So...... Don't measure him by ordinary people's standards. ”

Norry seemed very surprised to hear Sevigny's comment, and looked at Sevigny in surprise for a while before nodding lightly and said, "Okay, I will tell the truth about these words to His Majesty the King." ”

"I believe in your loyalty to your father. Sevini nodded. "So Norrie, can you tell me what my dear brother has been doing these months?"

The expression on Norrie's face became a little strange, and he was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while before he replied with a wry smile: "When I left Loren City, His Royal Highness the Prince was reorganizing the Zhenbei Army of Loren City. ”

"Straighten out the army?" Sevini frowned, "What does he want to do?"

Norrie was silent for a long time before he sighed softly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince said that he is a man, so he naturally wants to reflect his value in a man's way. And the place that best reflects the value of men is the battlefield. ”

Hearing this answer, Sevigny's brow furrowed even deeper. (To be continued......)
