Chapter 15: I won't be back
Xu Yi had to admit that he used to underestimate the people on the Sainz continent a little.
He originally thought that magical machinery was a new thing on the continent of Sainz, and it would take a lot of time for people to accept this new thing, let alone start researching it themselves, so he had always felt that it would take a long time for him to create a complete industrial system on this continent, and he might not be able to see it in his lifetime.
However, reality slapped him in the face mercilessly.
After His Majesty the King and the Department of Agriculture announced their cooperation plans with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, countless chambers of commerce of all sizes and businesses in the Kingdom of Lampari sprung up in a short period of time.
Although none of these chambers of commerce is comparable to the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the time being, and most of the magic machinery produced by them is imitating the early products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they can still make a lot of money in areas that have not yet been covered by the sales network of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
What really surprised Xu Yi was that Ferryman, an ordinary farmer in Bonta City, would actually think of processing parts for small harvesters based on his experience in using small magic harvesters!
This kind of business acumen is neither allowed nor amazed.
Xu Yi happily agreed to Ferryman's idea, first let them visit the factory first, and then personally guide a few people.
Xu also affirmed the idea of Ferriman and others to buy a few magic machine tools for parts processing, but did not agree to their request to process large parts and components.
Because with their current technical strength and superficial understanding of magic machines. If you rush to process large parts, it is likely that the large parts produced will not meet the requirements of the new flying industry. In the end, if you don't adopt it, you will lose a lot.
Finally, under Xu Yi's Jianyì. Feliman and the others turned their gaze to the Magic Tooth Rubbing Machine.
Although screws may seem small, they are almost indispensable parts for all the magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber, and they are widely applicable.
Moreover, as the first magic machine tool officially developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the magic tooth rubbing machine is now much more mature than it began after more than half a year of continuous research and development and technological innovation, not only the operation is simpler, the process is more stable, and the screw models produced have become more diverse. It can meet the requirements of all the magic machinery produced by the new flying chamber of commerce.
After some investigation, Ferriman and the others accepted Xu Yi's construction and purchased a full five magic tooth rubbing machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in one go.
The price of the new generation of Magic Tooth Rubbing Machine is 40 gold coins each, and 5 units cost 200 gold coins.
This is a huge amount of money for ordinary farmers, and although Freeman and the others have made some money by using the magic machinery of the farmland, it is not enough to come up with such a large amount of money.
So when Feliman was a little apprehensive and offered to buy the magic tooth scraper by deferring payment, as he had done when he had obtained the magic harvester from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, Xu Yi was not too surprised and readily agreed to his request.
For Xu Yi. These ordinary farmers, including Freeman, are now far more representative than the chambers of commerce that produce magical machines that have blossomed everywhere in the Lampari Kingdom.
Although they are just a few ordinary farmers who have only purchased a few magic tooth rubbing machines, they represent the beginning of the emergence of a very important parts processing industry in the industrial system on the continent of Sainz.
In time. With the gradual increase in the number of small chambers of commerce like this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can hand over the processing of the parts and components of the magic machinery it produces to such a small chamber of commerce, and free up a large number of people to focus on the aspects that Xu Yi would prefer the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to focus on.
Of course. The great ideals in Xu Yi's heart will never be understood by everyone.
Before that it was Heinze. Now that Heinze had gone to Kalmar to take charge of the factory there, the person who questioned him in person was replaced by Sebas.
"Grow up. According to last month's financial statistics, we made a profit of 764 gold coins from the sale of various models of screws. This is without taking into account the cost and profit of the large number of screws we use, which, if added up, is conservatively estimated to be more than two thousand gold coins. β
Unlike Heinze, who complained directly to Xu Yi, Sebas was a strict and respectful person to Xu Yi, and when he gave his opinion, he would first list specific numbers to support his opinion.
"You sell five magic machines to the farmers for almost free and promise them to help them master the process of making screws, which is equivalent to giving these profits to them, so ...... Is it appropriate?" Sebas looked at Xu Yi with questions.
"I ask you a question. Xu also did not answer the rhetorical question. "Sebas, do you think our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will eventually develop into a first-class chamber of commerce?"
Sebas was stunned, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to suddenly ask such a question.
After thinking about it, Sebas nodded lightly: "Yes, Lord Elder, I have no doubt that our Chamber of Commerce will become a super-first-class Chamber of Commerce on the Sebas Continent." β
Xu Yi smiled slightly, he didn't expect Sebas to be so confident, he just asked if he would become first-class, but Sebas directly replied that he was super first-class.
"Well, since we are going to become a super-first-class chamber of commerce, do you think it is possible for such a large chamber of commerce to cover all the goods under its name from head to toe? Or more specifically, do you think it is possible for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to dominate the entire magic industry alone?" Xu Yi asked again.
Under Xu Yi's influence, the people of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are no longer unfamiliar with the word magic industry, Sebas thought about it again and shook his head: "No." According to your plan and inference, Lord Grown, the magic industry is a behemoth that we cannot occupy alone. β
"That's right. Since we can't completely occupy it, and sooner or later we have to give up some of it to others, it is obvious that it is much better to actively give it up than to passively give it up. Although the screws alone represent a profit of 2,000 gold coins per month. And even more. But as you should see, you don't need any technical foundation to produce screws. All you need to do is buy a magic grinding machine from us and you can produce it. Do you think we should sell the Magic Tooth Rubbing Machine?" Xu Yi asked again.
Sebas was silent for a moment this time. Only then did he reply with some hesitation: "Actually...... Lord, I've always felt ...... that you agreed to the requests of those unknown small chambers of commerce to buy all kinds of magic machine tools Confused. At present, only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can manufacture magic machine tools, so only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces the best quality and high production efficiency. Now you sell these magic machines in large quantities, and the result is that there are now many chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom that also produce magic machines. Although these small chambers of commerce are not a threat to us at the moment, they still have some influence. β
Seeing the just right amount of questioning on Sebas's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that if he was replaced by Heinze, he would definitely not be as tactful as Sebas. Instead, he directly reprimanded himself for being a loser, raising tigers for trouble, and so on......
But for Heinze, Xu Yida can directly refute it, saying that this is his long-term plan, and he doesn't have to worry about it.
As for Sebas, Xu Yi can't refute it so hard.
"Sebas, do you remember what I said at the last product launch?"
Sebas frowned and thought for a while: "This...... Elder, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. β
"I said at the product launch that we want to make a big cake. Instead of grabbing cake with other people, you know what I mean?"
Sebas groaned for a long time, the doubts on his face faded and were replaced by more confusion.
"Grow up. Maybe this will indeed make more people know about the magic machine, so as to expand this market and make the cake bigger as you said. But...... With the current strength of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, after making the cake bigger. But you may not be able to grab the biggest piece of it. β
"What, are you doubting the strength of our Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Don't worry. If I wasn't sure, do you think I'd do these things?"
Sebas looked at Xu Yi and was silent.
If he still wants to question it at this time, it will be disrespectful to Xu Yi, and he will never do such a thing.
Xu Yi smiled and patted Sebas's shoulder: "Okay, reply to Lord SΓΉ, I know what I know, so he doesn't have to worry." β
"That's not what Lord Viscount meant......" Sebas replied reflexively, turned his head and saw Xu Yi's expression on his face, but he involuntarily retracted the words behind him, paused, and nodded in response: "Yes." β
###
Sebas didn't have to write back to Viscount Leslie, because Viscount Leslie had returned from Anwemar City two days after the conversation between the two!
To Xu Yi's surprise, Viscount Leslie came back with the legendary Baron Hainas, who was confined to his family for three months.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Baron Haynas immediately laughed and rushed over, hugged Xu Yi hard, and then couldn't wait to ask: "Xu Yi, how is my "Bonta Daily"?
Xu Yi was a little crying and laughing: "The Bonta Daily is not your child. Don't be disappointed, although you are gone, but the "Bonta Daily" is doing better than before you left thanks to the hard work of Naxi, and now the daily sales are about to exceed 10,000, which is several times stronger than the "Saltan Morning News" and "Kalmar Daily" in the neighboring two cities. β
Baron Haynas immediately laughed: "Why should I be disappointed? I am so happy! Great, when I was in Anvimar, I was most worried about the Bonta Daily, and now I am relieved to hear you say that it has developed so well." β
Xu Yi glanced at the radiant Baron Henas, and found that compared to the last time he left Bonta City, the childishness on his face had faded a lot, and the whole person was obviously much more mature and stable.
"Hainas, I heard that two newspapers also popped up in Anweimar City some time ago, what are they called "Anwemar Daily" and "Lampari Weekly", and I tell you honestly, are these two newspapers related to you?" Xu Yi asked.
Henas smiled, patted Xu Yi's shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered, "It's good if you know, don't ask too much." β
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, really didn't continue to ask, turned his head to look at Viscount Lylis on the side and asked, "Lord Viscount, you are finally back." If it weren't for the spring ploughing, maybe you wouldn't have come back this time, right?"
Viscount Leslie smiled and nodded, "Indeed." After going back this time, something happened at home, if it wasn't for the importance of this spring ploughing, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have time to come back. β
Xu Yi couldn't help but say: "There is a large territory of yours here, and besides, you are still the majority shareholder of our Chamber of Commerce, if you are not here, many things will be very troublesome." β
"With you here, is there any trouble?" Viscount Leslie smiled, and suddenly sighed lightly: "Xu Yi, sue you for a piece of good news that I don't know if it's good or bad for you." At the end of this spring ploughing, maybe I'll leave Bonta City and never come back. β
Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie in astonishment, and saw that he didn't mean to joke at all, so he was speechless for a while. (To be continued......)
