Chapter 13 The First Step to Independence
A 20-ton large freight magic locomotive newly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is driving on the rainy road.
The huge tyre, which is one meter in diameter and 30 centimeters wide, crushed against the solid ground of the road, causing a rumbling sound that attracted the attention of all other vehicles and pedestrians passing by on the road.
Seeing this imposing convoy with the logo of the new flying chamber of commerce with half wings on it, everyone showed a knowing smile.
It seems that this is another Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to deliver goods to Bangta City.
Since Queen Severny's accession to the throne, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has re-established contact with the Kingdom of Lampari, and this kind of scene has been seen on a regular basis.
Especially in Bangta City, the "hometown" of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you can see a convoy from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every few days.
In addition to transporting all kinds of household magic machines, there will also be some other materials.
For example, in the current fleet, a batch of new semi-automatic lathes from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are carried.
When assembled, a new Magic Air Conditioner production line can be formed.
This is one of the collaborative projects between the New Fly Chamber of Commerce and Bonta City.
However, unlike the previous cooperation project, the ownership of this newly formed semi-automatic lathe magic air conditioning production line is completely vested in Bangta City.
In other words, the magic air conditioner produced on this production line will not get half of the revenue from it.
Or, to put it more bluntly, the company has simply sold this magic air-conditioning production line consisting of a new semi-automated lathe to a partner in Bangta City.
Compared with all the joint venture factories in the country of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom, this production line is the first production line that is completely independent by the Lampari Kingdom, which is of great significance to the Lampari Kingdom.
So when the convoy had just come to the vicinity of the Falling Rain Valley. I saw a bunch of people waiting on the side of the road at the front of the road. A small high platform was also erected next to it. Flowers, red cloths, and other festive items were placed, apparently to prepare a welcoming ceremony.
The convoy stopped at the entrance to the Rainfall Valley, and was greeted by Lord Revere, the lord of Bonta City, and a group of officials from Bonta City.
The first large freight magic locomotive came to a steady stop, the door opened, but Xu Yi was the first to jump from it.
This new cooperation project is not only of great significance to the Lampari Kingdom, but also very important to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which represents that the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom has entered a deeper level, and Xu Yi, the president, will naturally come to participate on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, he had planned to come by himself in a magic car two days in advance. But because something suddenly happened in the Black Rice Wasteland, the director had already arrived in Black Rice City two days ago.
When this convoy passed by Heimi City, Xu Yi simply stayed on the large freight magic locomotive and came along.
As soon as Xu Yi landed, Count Revere laughed and opened his arms and gave Xu Yi a big hug enthusiastically.
"President Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are really getting more and more energetic. ”
Xu Yi let go of his hands, looked Count Rewell up and down, and said with a smile: "City Lord, you haven't seen you for a while. It looks a lot haggard. Could it be that there are too many public affairs in Bonta City during this time, which makes you overworked?"
Count Revere sighed softly. Shaking his head, he said, "Bangta City is now in the most critical period of development, and of course I, the city lord, need to do my best. What's more, Her Majesty the Queen has entrusted me with such a burden, how dare I disappoint her. ”
Xu Yi smiled, patted him on the shoulder without any scruples, and said, "Don't worry, the development of Bangta City is very smooth now, and it is already several times stronger than before Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, which is of course the credit of you, the city lord." ”
Count Revere smiled and nodded, "That's not bad." If nothing else, this year's Bonta City's fiscal revenue will probably more than triple last year's, and even exceed the highest level in previous years. Of course, this is the result of the strong support of President Xu and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Speaking of which, I should thank you, President Xu. ”
Xu Yi waved his hand: "I don't need it." At the end of the day, I'm just a businessman, and I'm only working together to make money. ”
Count Revere laughed, looking at Xu Yi with a deep meaning in his eyes.
In fact, many times he felt that he couldn't understand Xu Yi.
If Xu Yi is really just an ordinary businessman as he himself said, doing everything just to make money, it is easy to understand.
However, in Count Revere's opinion, in fact, if you simply stand from the perspective of the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the perspective of making money, many of Xu Yi's choices and actions are very strange.
For example, this time, Xu also promised to provide Bang Ta City with a newly developed semi-automatic lathe magic air conditioning production line, and handed it over to Bang Ta City for processing, which is equivalent to completely handing over the ability of Bang Ta City to independently develop and produce magic air conditioners.
Unlike other chambers of commerce, which develop and produce on their own according to the technology obtained from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this cooperation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only provide technical support, but also provide complete machinery and equipment, and even provide sufficient personnel support, and finally be willing to let go completely, and not intervene in it like the previous joint venture factory, and divide the benefits.
This production line can almost represent the first solid step forward for the Kingdom of Lampari in the independence of the magic industry.
If Count Revere were to say it, it would be like selflessly helping Bonta City.
Because with the current strong and absolute leadership of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the magic industry, even if he doesn't do this, no one can object.
But Xu Yi really made it.
Every time he thinks about this question, Earl Revere can only give himself a fairly reliable answer, that is, Xu Yi is not only trying to make ordinary monetary gains, but has a higher pursuit.
As for what this higher pursuit is......
When he returned to Anvimar City to report on his work, Count Revere met with Her Majesty the Queen, and also had a deep conversation with the former Count Satsuma, the city lord of Bonta City, who had the most contact with Xu Yi before, and both said that Xu Yi actually paid more attention to promoting the development of the magic industry, and making money was only secondary.
Count Revere was not very convinced of this answer.
But he couldn't think of a better explanation than that.
According to the previously determined process, when the convoy arrived, Count Revere, on behalf of the Bangta City side, invited Xu Yi, who represented the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to participate in a grand welcome ceremony.
When the ceremony was over, Count Revere had the convoy led into the Falling Rain Valley, and after resting, he assembled the new production line in the afternoon, and invited Xu Yi back to Bonta City for lunch together with several officials of the Lord of Bonta City.
The two got into the same magic car and sped fast on the rainy road.
At the speed of the magic car that Xu Yi gave to Count Revere three months ago, it would not take an hour to enter the city of Bonta.
In the car, after the two chatted for a few words, Count Revere paused, lowered his voice slightly, and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, since you have just come from the Black Rice Wasteland, you know enough about the things in the Black Rice Wasteland, right?"
"Hmm. Xu Yi nodded.
"How is the matter resolved?" asked Earl Revere.
Xu Yi looked at the concern on Count Revere's face, thought for a while, and replied, "There is basically no problem. I have sent people to appease the orc tribes who were attacked, and gave them follow-up resettlement in the name of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and now the feelings of those orc tribes are quite stable, and nothing has happened. But ......"
Xu Yi's expression suddenly turned sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lord City, I didn't see Admiral Rantis when I went to Heimi City this time, so I can't ask him face to face, why did the Sark Kingdom invade the Black Rice Wasteland so lightly? If the Zhenxi army can't resist the attack of the Sark Kingdom in this way, then I'm afraid that if the Sark Kingdom invades Lampa and the two countries in the future, they will not be able to resist it either!"
The unexpected incident that occurred in the Black Rice Wasteland was that the five orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland near the border between the north and the Sark Kingdom suddenly encountered the invasion of the Sark Kingdom, and as a result, these five orc tribes were almost slaughtered by the army of the Sark Kingdom, which caused a great shock in the Black Rice Wasteland, and made all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland panic for a while.
After receiving this shocking news, Xu Yi rushed to the Black Rice Wasteland as soon as possible and properly followed up on the matter.
However, the impact of this incident was very severe, and Xu Yi would of course be angry about it.
"This ......," Count Rewell coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed. "Admiral Rantis probably didn't expect it either...... The attack of the Kingdom of Sark came very suddenly, and it was only a small group of elite troops rushing in, and it was difficult to fully guard against it. ”
"Really?" Xu Yi sneered, but did not continue to question.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why this loophole appeared in the Zhenxi Army and gave the Sark Kingdom a chance to take advantage of it was entirely because the two countries of Lampa had never regarded the Black Rice Wasteland as their own territory, but as a buffer zone between the Sark Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom.
After all, the vast majority of the Black Rice Wasteland is an orc race, and no matter what damage the orc race suffers, it has nothing to do with the Lampari Kingdom.
But Xu Yi can't think so.
The current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a total of more than 70,000 workers and employees, of which more than 10,000 are orcs, and they are a force to be reckoned with in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The love of the orc clan is something that Xu Yi must consider.
Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is located in Heimi City on the Black Rice Wasteland, which is also a very important industrial base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Now, after several years of development, Heimi City has become the base camp of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several other chambers of commerce, which is of great significance.
Heimi City is located on the Black Rice Wasteland, and if the shape of the Black Rice Wasteland is unstable, it will inevitably greatly affect the stable development of Black Rice City. (To be continued......)
