On the fifth day of the new year, Xu also received a special invitation.

This invitation is from the City Lord's Mansion, and the content is to invite Xu Yi to participate in the New Year's exchange banquet held by the City Lord's Mansion on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Unlike some of the invitations sent by the City Lord's Mansion to Xu Yi to invite him to ordinary banquets, this invitation was actually signed by the City Lord Count Sean Satsuma himself.

Xu Yi could shirk the previous invitations to various banquets, but this time, since it was an invitation sent by the City Lord himself, it would be difficult for him to shirk it as easily as before.

Moreover, it was also noted on the invitation that in addition to inviting many business representatives from Bangta City, there were also merchants from Kalmar City, which is the closest to Bangta City, at the New Year's Exchange Banquet.

This surprised Xu Ye.

Supposedly it was only the fifth day of the new year, so why did the merchants of Kalmar suddenly come to Bonta City?

"Actually, it's an old rule. Moon Cruise, president of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, held a glass of red wine in his hand and explained to Xu Yi with a smile. "Every year at the beginning of the New Year, the lord of Kalmar City, Count Annaris, will lead the merchants of Kalmar City to visit our Bangta City, and then after a few days, the city lord will select some representatives of our Bangta City Chamber of Commerce to visit Kalmar City. President Xu, you only joined the business world last year, so it's not surprising that you don't know this rule. However, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only founded last year, and now you are actually qualified to be invited by the City Lord to participate in this banquet, which is really amazing. ”

Xu Yi glanced at him: "What's the matter?" do you think our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not qualified?"

"How is that possible!" exclaimed President Cruise with an exaggerated expression. "President Xu, although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been established for a long time, who in Bangta City would dare to question your qualifications now? We're the closest partners, and I don't think anyone here is qualified. I don't think you're enough, don't you think?"

Xu Yi laughed: "Just kidding." President Cruise, you don't have to be so nervous. ”

President Crews said that the Amrley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the closest partners, and although it is a slight exaggeration, it cannot be said that it is too exaggerated.

Since the Amritri Chamber of Commerce obtained cement supply from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and fully mastered the various uses of cement, the construction quality of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce has made a qualitative leap.

In just over two months, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce has received unanimous praise, and the construction orders received have skyrocketed in the New Year, which has increased by as much as 30% compared with last year.

And this increase does not include the construction work orders submitted directly by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Amrley Chamber of Commerce.

The third day of the new year. Xu Yi made a special trip to find President Cruise, in addition to New Year's congratulations, the more important purpose was to propose to him in person a large number of construction projects that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs now.

In addition to building a new factory on Viscount Leslie's domain for the home magic machinery production workshop, there are two other major projects that will surprise even President Cruise.

One of them is to build new houses for the Norma and Angolan tribes, and the other is to renovate the Sandy River that flows through the Rainfall Forest to solve the water problem of the Nightsong Tribe.

Hsu also did not tell President Sù Cruise why he was carrying out these two projects, but President Cruise was not very interested in Hsu Yi's purpose, except for raising some questions about Hsu Yi's attempt to renovate the Sandy River himself without Count Satsuma's approval. Most of his attention was focused on the cost of these two projects.

Xu also has extremely high quality requirements for these two projects, requiring the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to use the best materials and the best labor to build them, which means that the Amritri Chamber of Commerce will get the highest profit on these two projects.

According to Xu Yi's preliminary plan, President Cruise easily judged. The total cost of these two projects is likely to exceed 300,000 gold coins!

The Amrley Chamber of Commerce can also make a huge profit of more than 50,000 gold coins at the very least.

Although the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very high, after all, the establishment time is still short, and it is impossible to come up with such a huge amount of money as 300,000 gold coins in one go. So Xu Yiti yì used the cement supply to the Amrley Chamber of Commerce to offset the account, which was strongly welcomed by President Cruise.

Now the construction project under the name of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce. It is almost inseparable from cement.

For this reason, President Cruise asked Xu Yi several times to extend the cement monopoly right of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, but Xu Yi firmly refused.

But anyway. Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amrley Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as closely related and close, and they are indeed worthy of the title of "close partners".

In fact, Xu Yi's statement that "some people question the qualifications of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to participate" is simply a joke.

At present, the chambers of commerce in Bang Ta City are all appearing at the banquet, and after the development of the past six months, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been familiar to all the chambers of commerce in Bang Ta City, and everyone is very clear about the strong potential of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And after the last auction of the two mines, everyone no longer doubts the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Being able to snatch an iron mine from the mouth of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and also use the money borrowed from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, no matter what it is, it is enough to make the other chambers of commerce look at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with admiration.

Now there are even many people speculating that Xu Yi actually has a powerful backer standing behind him.

Judging from Xu Yi's good relationship with Viscount Leslie, it is very likely that the backer behind him is the Stark family, which is one of the most powerful in the Lampari Kingdom.

Of course, no one doubts it, but it doesn't mean that everyone welcomes it.

There are people like President Cruise who are very enthusiastic about Xu Yibian, and there are people who are not particularly strong about Xu Yibian, but they are obviously hostile.

This man, of course, is Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Because an iron ore mine was robbed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the auction, Fuller Morgan was reprimanded by the big names in the Joseph family in person, and he almost couldn't keep his chairmanship because of this, so it is not surprising that Fuller Morgan hated Xu Yi.

Generally speaking, when the other party has already expressed obvious hostility, no one will come over so unfamiliarly, but Xu Yi is an exception.

After spotting Fuller Morgan in the crowd, he walked over with a glass of wine and a smile.

"Happy New Year, President Morgan. Xu also raised his glass and gestured to President Morgan.

Although President Morgan was very unhappy, he still showed the good demeanor of a big businessman, touched the cup with Xu Yi, squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "Happy New Year." ”

Xu Yi drank a glass of wine, praised it and said, "President Morgan, I'm too busy these days to have a good chat with you." Now that I have the opportunity to meet, I would like to ask, what do you think about the mine magic machinery that I mentioned to you last time?"

President Morgan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after the last auction, Xu Yi did find that he had mentioned such a thing, but Xu Yi only gave a simple idea at that time, and President Morgan was in a very bad mood at the time, so he didn't listen carefully, so he forgot about it later.

During this time, he was too busy with the affairs of the mine, and President Morgan even left this matter behind.

Now that Xu Yi mentioned it again, President Morgan thought about it for a while, and then replied cautiously, "I have considered it. But President Xu, although I believe in the ability of you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that there is no point in just talking about it without seeing anything practical, right?"

"Oh, so President Morgan are you're actually interested?" said Xu Yi smiled. "It's easy to see the real thing, and it just so happens that our chamber of commerce has successfully developed a small magic drilling rig some time ago, which is very helpful for improving mining efficiency. President Morgan, if you have time, why don't you come and see it?"

"Small magic drilling machine, it seems to be quite good to listen to the name...... "Chairman Morgan is an old businessman after all, and he will not be lightly swayed by his own feelings, and it doesn't seem like he was joking, after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay." President Xu, you can send someone to send this thing over for me to study and study. If it works, we can talk about something else. ”

Seeing that President Morgan agreed, Xu Yi didn't care about the little reserve he deliberately showed, and nodded with a smile.

Not long after, Count Satsuma suddenly walked out from behind the banquet hall. Beside him, a middle-aged man with a slightly short stature, but a resolute expression and a hint of shrewdness in his eyes walked side by side with him.

Obviously, this middle-aged man should be the lord of Kalmar City, Count Annaris.

Behind the two city lords were a group of merchants from Kalmar City.

Xu Yi glanced over and found several acquaintances, all of whom were merchants who had come to Bangta City before and ordered a large amount of magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two lords of the city each made a brief speech on the rostrum, indicating that the main purpose of the banquet was to give the businessmen of the two cities an opportunity to communicate with each other, and hoped that everyone could make full use of this opportunity to carry out more exchanges and cooperation and promote the common development of the two cities.

It should be said that such an exchange will be very meaningful.

The Sainz continent is limited by the level of science and technology, and there are not many channels for information exchange, and most of the time businessmen can only communicate face-to-face through guò if they want to do business.

Now that the lords of the two cities are personally holding such a banquet, it gives the merchants of the two cities a very good opportunity.

Of course, the premise is that the Earl of Satsuma and the Earl of Annaris have a good personal relationship to be able to cooperate in such a banquet.

When the two counts announced the start of the banquet and everyone could start communicating at will, the merchants of the two cities immediately found their familiar friends and chatted together.

When Xu Yigang wanted to talk to the Kalmar merchants he knew, he suddenly found that Count Satsuma beckoned to him. (To be continued......)
