Chapter 130: Becoming a Legend
Everyone in the conference room was shocked.
CEO Gleros frowned and said in a deep voice: "Director Sebas, please don't be alarmist. Although our chamber of commerce has invested a lot in the war in the past two years, which has put greater financial pressure, it would be too much to say that it has led to the collapse of the chamber of commerce. ”
"Yes. Our chamber of commerce is not stupid, really went to help those countries for free? Don't forget that we have obtained a lot of mineral resources from them. The president of the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, Dwarf Thorpe, also agreed. "Although we don't have time to get those minerals out yet, they will only be more valuable when they are put there, and we will not lose money. ”
"It's not just about mineral resources. Ankato, the head of the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce, also said: "In addition to these things, as long as our Chamber of Commerce wins this battle, we can force the two empires and other countries to reduce the high tariffs deliberately aimed at us in the future." If nothing else, we can make a lot of money on that alone. When the time comes, don't say that it's just tens of millions of gold coins, it's just that our household magic machinery department also hopes to make a profit of hundreds of millions of gold coins a year, do you believe it or not?"
"Hey, you guys have been talking for a long time, but you've forgotten one of the most important things. This war is not something we have to fight, are we being forced by the guys of the two empires? If we don't help those countries, will we let the two empires come to the door and kill us again?"
When these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell silent again.
That's right, with the high-speed development situation before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it won't take long at all. The goods of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will sweep all the countries of the entire continent.
With the high convenience brought by the various magic machines produced by the new flying chamber, as well as its own high specifications and high quality. The profits that the new flying chamber will make from this are simply unimaginable.
So for the new flying chamber of commerce. Stable development is the best way, but there is no need to toss or even start a war.
From beginning to end, this war was actively provoked by the two empires, and the scale has been expanding, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just passively responding to the war.
Of course, it is not difficult to guess the thoughts of the two empires.
They obviously saw the huge influence of the magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as the huge benefits contained in it, and they didn't want to see an ordinary chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to control it, so they made an exception and joined forces to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, with the intention of snatching the magic industry industry, an emerging industry with obvious promising prospects, into their own hands.
Of course. The military magic machinery developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did make them have great scruples, otherwise, with the power of the two empires, they didn't need to join forces at all, and they would have been on their own.
In this case, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not resist vigorously, then the two empires will undoubtedly dismember and annex the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce after solving several allies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, where can I hesitate to think about it.
As for the money that is not money...... If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is gone, is there any point in thinking about money?
Many people in the conference room looked at Sebas with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Today is the most important meeting of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the first day of the new year, and it will be the specific policies and strategies of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the new year.
At this critical juncture. It is natural for everyone to hope that everyone will be able to come together and get through this difficult time.
However, Sebas jumped out and poured cold water. Naturally, it will cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
Sebas ignored the gazes of everyone looking at him, just looked at Xu Yi, waiting for Xu Yi to speak.
After glaring at Sebas, everyone also turned their eyes to Xu Yi.
At the end of the day, it's up to the elders to decide what kind of strategy the Chamber of Commerce wants to implement, and whatever the others say doesn't make much sense.
Xu Yi looked around, patted the financial report, and said with a smile: "Sebas is just putting forward the right opinion from the perspective of the treasurer of his chamber of commerce, what are you so excited about?"
Everyone was stunned, and the dwarf Thorpe, who had always been straightforward, immediately asked, "Elder, do you agree with Sebas's opinion and reduce or give up your support for the Lampari Kingdom and other countries?"
"No, of course it can't be. Xu Yi immediately shook his head. "How can we abandon our allies at this most critical moment in this war, when we have already seen the dawn of victory and begin a counterattack?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sebas also didn't blink, and didn't seem to be surprised by Xu Yi's answer at all.
"Your Excellency, the fact that the Chamber of Commerce's financial budget is tight is a fact in front of us, and I would like to ask you to pay attention to it. ”
"I understand. Xu Yi nodded, turned to Ankato and asked, "Ankato, how is the situation of your Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce this year?"
Ankato was stunned, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to suddenly turn the topic to his head.
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head with a slightly embarrassed wry smile: "It's not good." Fifty-three countries have explicitly banned our Chamber's products, and more than half of the remaining countries have also dropped orders from us because of the war. In addition, due to the impact of the war, traffic losses are serious, and it is difficult for many goods to arrive accurately and safely, even if there are orders. Last month alone, we lost more than a million gold coins worth of goods on the road, which is almost half of last month's total profit......"
Hearing Ankato's words, the heads of other departments and branches of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the conference room also sighed together.
A similar situation is not limited to the Xinfei Household Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce.
Because of the impact of the all-out war that affected more than half of the entire continent, most of the trade routes on the continent were blocked, so that almost all the business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past six months has suffered an extremely serious decline, which has caused the overall profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to drop significantly.
Although there are still many countries willing to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because the two empires and those countries that belong to their camp represent the most deep-rooted traditional forces on the Sainz continent, and they are also the most economically powerful part of the entire continent, so as soon as the two sides go to war now, it will be equivalent to completely sealing the largest market of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The reason why the two empires will go to war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp is actually an important reason that they think that they have almost grasped the lifeblood of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and this alone can drag the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to death.
In fact, the results were not far from what they expected.
Since the beginning of last year, just one year has passed, and the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have declined significantly.
Coupled with the relationship of supporting the war, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was forced to invest a lot of money, and it is even very likely that there will be a full-year fiscal deficit for the first time.
If this situation really continues for a few years or even more than ten years, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the countries it supports will inevitably be completely consumed by the two imperial camps, and they will no longer be able to resist.
"So the key is to make this war end as soon as possible, and the sooner it ends, the better. ”
Hearing Xu Yi's conclusion after analyzing it for a while, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the conference room looked at each other at a high level.
The Elder is simple, but end it soon?
The two empires are not soft persimmons that are easy to pinch, how can they make them admit defeat as soon as possible to end this war?
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now broken the myth of the invincibility of the Magister, so that the two empires have no advantage in the frontal battlefield, but after all, the two empires are still two behemoths compared to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if they cooperate with the Lampari Kingdom and other countries, it is not easy to eat them.
Xu Yi didn't explain anything to them, and then just asked about the plans for the coming year finalized by various departments and branches as usual, and after briefly putting forward some opinions, he announced the dismissal of the meeting.
When leaving, the expressions on the faces of the high-level executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were all confused to varying degrees.
When they couldn't predict the outcome of the war, they naturally couldn't have more prospects for the prospects of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is completely different from the previous year, where you can clearly see the rapid development trend of the Chamber of Commerce in the coming year, so that you can make a plan more clearly.
It can be said that the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for more than 20 years is the first time to encounter the current situation.
Of course, just over twenty years after its establishment, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the mainstay of another major force that can compete head-on with the two imperial powers, and it is also unique in the history of the entire Sainz continent.
If the final result of this war is a complete victory for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably become a legend of the Sainz Continent, not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.
The other chamber of commerce executives left with mixed emotions, but Xu Yi did not stop for a moment, and came to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort training base located on the northwest side of the main base of the chamber of commerce, not far from the coast.
As soon as he entered the base, he saw a magic airship slowly falling.
Xu Yi glanced at it and knew that he had come at the right time.
The magic airship landed steadily, the hatch opened, and the captain of the escort team, Hart, walked out of it quickly, not surprisingly, Xu Yi was outside, came directly to Xu Yi, saluted Xu Yi with a snap, and said loudly: "Report to the elder, the escort team has successfully completed this mission and returned safely." ”
Xu Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "How does it feel to fight with several Magisters?"
The corners of Captain Hart's mouth twitched, and his face was strange, and after a long moment, he replied, "Lord, be honest...... Nothing to feel. We just laid things out according to the various tests and predetermined plans we had done before, and then the magisters were dealt with. To be honest, although I watched the whole process, I still feel a little confused, and I always wonder if I am dreaming. You say...... A god-like figure like a magister was killed by us so easily?"
