Chapter 66: Why Not Sell Publicly?
When facing the other three presidents in the conference room, Xu Yi didn't say anything directly.
"It's not impossible to transfer magic locomotive technology, but not now. Xu Yizheng said: "Three, although the magic locomotive is only a kind of magic machine, it is much more complicated than other magic machines currently developed by our Chamber of Commerce, and it contains a variety of technologies, many of which have not even been fully studied by our Chamber of Commerce itself, so even if it is transferred to you now, it will not make the slightest sense to you." ”
President Lanke smiled: "We are not so greedy, President Xu, in fact, we didn't really hope that you could transfer the technology of the magic locomotive to us when we came to you this time, but just hoped that you could see that everyone is an old friend, at least put our three chambers of commerce on the same starting line with the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Filson Carriage and Horse Company, and don't treat them differently." ”
Xu Yi glanced at President Lanke and chuckled, "President Lanke, I want to ...... You should know why I would treat the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and Filson Carriage and Horse Company differently. ”
The faces of the three presidents changed in unison, and the smile on the face of President Ranko became even more embarrassed.
After Earl Stark took over as the lord of Bonta City last year, he began to look at Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce everywhere, Xu Yi later simply announced his withdrawal from the Chamber of Commerce, and the other chambers of commerce were silent about this, but only President Cruise of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and President Pombery of Filson Carriage and Horse Company publicly expressed their support for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and President Cruise even publicly stormed at the contact meeting, angrily denouncing other chambers of commerce for some villains who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
The other presidents of the business federation headed by President Lanke did not give Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce any support in this matter. Of course, the Chamber of Commerce they represent could no longer receive the same treatment from Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi has now pointed this point out directly. Naturally, the three of them had nothing to say.
Compared with the Saranke Chamber of Commerce, which does not cooperate much with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. President Morgan and President Vincent, who represented the Falcau Chamber of Commerce and the Armani Chamber of Commerce, respectively, were even more embarrassed.
Because before this happened, the two of them had actually begun to have a lot of cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and when they were in private contact with Xu Yi on weekdays, they kept claiming to be partners.
However, at the critical moment, their two partners were far less determined than President Cruise of the Amritra Chamber of Commerce.
Among them, President Morgan was better, after all, he had a bad relationship with Xu Yi from the beginning, and then it was only because the Joseph family reached an agreement with Xu Yi. Cai and Xu also gradually improved their concern.
The Armani Chamber of Commerce has had very in-depth exchanges and cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so far, and even together with the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, they have established a base in the Black Rice Wasteland with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of the close cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Black Rice Wasteland from last year to the beginning of this year, Xu Yi's strong support and cooperation in all aspects, regardless of previous suspicions, President Vincent couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
However, President Vincent, after all, is also an old man who has been crawling around in the mall for decades, and after a while, he recovered, and instead took advantage of this to say to Xu Yi: "President Xu, it is true that we did not do the right thing in the past. But the past is gone, and now we're still working well with each other, aren't we? Since we can work together in other areas, then in this regard. I believe that we can still work together very well, right?"
President Ranco and President Morgan glanced at President Vincent. I thought that this guy was really quick to react and could bend and stretch.
But things in the mall are like this, and the eternal only interests, friends and enemies, etc., are all decided by looking at the shape.
I didn't see that when the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were competing for the mine, President Morgan and Xu Yi looked like enemies of life and death, and later the Joseph family and Xu Yi reached a cooperation agreement, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed.
And just two months ago, after the construction of a non-ferrous metal vein and supporting non-ferrous metal smelting plant jointly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in Karamay City, President Morgan smiled even more every time he saw Xu Yi, and even always with a hint of courtesy.
In comparison, on the contrary, President Lanke's attitude towards Xu Yi has always been warm and polite, neither particularly close, but also particularly repulsive, basically has not changed much.
"Well, I agree with what President Vincent said. I'm sorry, but I'm telling the truth. It's not that I don't plan to transfer the technology of the magic locomotive at all, it's just that this time is not suitable. Xu Yi pondered for a moment and decided to tell them more bluntly. "To put it mildly, the technical level of the magic locomotive is much higher than the technology of the magic machinery that you have mastered so far, even if I transfer the relevant technology to you, you will not be able to digest it for a long time, which is almost useless. ”
Xu Yi couldn't help but say this very politely, and the other three presidents couldn't help frowning.
President Morgan snorted lightly and asked in a deep voice, "President Xu, do you mean that our chambers of commerce are not qualified?"
"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but ...... It's a fact. Xu Yi nodded honestly and unceremoniously. "There is no room for falsehood in the technical aspects. Several of your chambers of commerce have obtained the relevant technology of magic machinery such as magic fans and magic kettles transferred by our chamber of commerce, I believe you should also know that although these magic machines look simple, but the actual technical content is very deep, even if it is the same material and manufacturing standard, in fact, there will still be a lot of differences, and there will be a lot of gaps in the final product. ”
The three guild leaders were silent for a moment, then involuntarily nodded in unison.
Xu Yi is not wrong at all, although because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has publicly transferred all the relevant technology of the magic fan and magic kettle, so that in addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are now more than ten chambers of commerce that make zuò magic fans and magic kettles in Bangta City.
The magic kettle is not produced because the new flyer has long made an agreement not to produce it, so there is no difference.
But when it comes to magic fans, even if they have the same technical parameters and standards. However, there is always a significant gap between the quality and performance of the magic fans produced by other chambers of commerce and the new flying brand magic fans.
Although this gap this summer has to be much smaller than last summer. But it's still very obvious.
So this year after entering the summer. The magic fans of the major chambers of commerce were sold at the beginning, and the new Fei brand magic fans still occupied a large number of markets, while the magic fans of other chambers of commerce had to choose to sell them at a low price, or simply ship them to other cities farther away to sell them, avoiding direct competition with the new flying brand magic fans.
The reason why these three presidents came to Xu Yi for discussion this time was that they really didn't think that Xu Yi would agree to transfer the production technology of magic locomotives, but because all the magic locomotives currently produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were only provided to the Filson Carriage and Horse Dealers Chamber of Commerce, so that they had some opinions on this.
But they didn't expect it. After President Lanke reminded Xu Yi of this, Xu Yi extended the topic so far.
As for the technical aspects, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently occupies an absolute monopoly and leading position in this regard, the three of them certainly have no way to argue with Xu Yi in this regard.
And from Xu Yi's tone, it shows that he has not denied that he will transfer the relevant technology of magic locomotives in the future, which is enough to satisfy the three of them.
So the three of them were silent for a moment, looked at each other, exchanged glances, and President Ranko coughed lightly and smiled. Brought the conversation back to the main purpose of their coming to Xu Yi.
"President Xu, since you are not willing to transfer the technology now. Of course, we can't force it. But we want to buy your magic locomotive, isn't it?" said President Ranko.
"I understand your need for a freight magic locomotive, but unfortunately I can't help it. Xu Yi spread his hands and replied a little helplessly.
"Why?" said President Morgan frowned. "Can't you decide who you're going to sell the magic locomotive to?"
"Honestly, if I could, I would certainly like to be able to sell the magic locomotive to as many people as possible. But...... Now there is a very important problem that limits this, and that is that the production capacity of our chamber of commerce is insufficient. Xu Yi smiled bitterly. "According to last month's statistics, we only produced 2,000 freight magic locomotives in a whole month, and now there are less than 200 medium-sized passenger magic locomotives in trial operation at Filson, so it is already difficult to meet the requirements of Filson, so how can it be fully sold to the public?"
"So, why are you only willing to sell to Filson's Carriage and Horse Dealers, and not to sell a little bit to our chambers of commerce?" asked President Morgan directly.
"Well...... It is precisely because of the current lack of production of our Chamber of Commerce that I hope to be able to use these limited magic locomotives produced to the places where they are needed most, and as for other needs, they can only be postponed. ”
"You mean to say...... Does Filson need these magic locomotives more than we do?" President Morgan frowned deeply. "Why?"
"Because Filson is a professional logistics chamber of commerce, and you are not. Xu Yi also replied bluntly.
"What do you mean?" the three of them were stunned.
Xu Yi smiled, patiently explained the concept of logistics to the three of them, and then roughly explained the logistics and transportation plan of the Lampari Kingdom that he and President Pompei had discussed together.
"In summary, I think that things like logistics and transportation will be more efficient to be handed over to the chamber of commerce that is in charge of this business, which can save a lot of manpower and energy for us who produce goods, and can free up our hands to focus on our core business, so this is actually a good thing. Xu Yidao.
"But it's not financially economical, is it?" said President Morgan, snorting heavily. "I don't believe that Filson Carriage & Horse Dealers won't make money from this thing, so don't we have to pay more for it?"
"Believe me, it's definitely much cheaper to hand over the goods to Filson than it is for you to deliver them yourself now. Xu Yi said with a smile. "And I didn't say that I wouldn't sell magic bikes openly in the future. If you are not satisfied with the Filson Carriage and Horse Dealership and want to build your own transport fleet, you can buy it again when the time comes. As for now, we are sorry that our Chamber of Commerce is unable to provide it. ”
The three presidents exchanged a few more glances, and President Morgan asked again, "Then President Xu, when do you expect your chamber of commerce to publicly sell magic locomotives?"
"Three months. Xu also stretched out three fingers. "Within three months, we were able to meet the initial demand for Filson's car and horse dealership, and then we were ready to sell it publicly. ”
"That's good. President Morgan slapped his palm on the table. "I'm going to place an order with you now, do you accept it?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Of course." Our Chamber of Commerce produces magic locomotives to sell for money, so why don't we accept orders?" (To be continued......)
