Chapter 17: Adventure

Mentiss walked out of the door of his shop pΓΉ with a chilled blueberry-flavored moonshadow drink that had just been taken out of the magic freezer.

As soon as he walked out, the hot sunlight poured down, instantly making his body, which had been frosty and comfortable under the magic air conditioner, break out a fine hot sweat.

"What the hell is the weather...... "Mantis muttered a few quick steps, came to the shade of the trees beside the road, and walked along the rows of greenery to another open shop, pΓΉ.

The midday sun was hot and the temperature was extremely high, and there was not half a figure on the road at this time, except for the constant sound of cicadas on the trees beside the road, this usually very lively street was unusually quiet at this time.

It wasn't until Mentiss walked to the door of the shop at his destination that he could hear the clanging sound coming from inside.

Mentis stepped into the door of the store, glanced inside, shook his head, and said loudly: "I said Wren, why don't you lie down and take a nap and rest at noon, why do you these old guys again?"

Ryan, the owner of the shop, who heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Mendis, laughed, put down the red-colored soldering iron in his hand, and threw it into the solution used for cold soaking, and immediately burst out a strong steam that filled the room.

Ryan and Mentis were both blacksmiths in Karamay and had spent their lives making iron.

Originally, their lives should go on like this, but they were reminded of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a few years ago, and the magic machine replaced almost all the jobs in the blacksmith shop, making the two of them almost unemployed.

Fortunately, both of them are flexible people, after learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has implemented a small chamber of commerce support program in Bangta City. So he took the initiative to find the door. It is supported by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Several magic machine tools were purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and two small parts processing factories were opened in Karamay City.

After several years of development, their two parts processing factories have become the top suppliers of magic machinery parts in Karamay City, and almost control more than 40% of the market in the parts processing industry in Karamay City.

Now, compared to when they were stuck in the blacksmith shop before, not only has their income increased by a hundred times, but their work is much easier than before.

The fact that Ryan had to work hard at noon to strike iron had long since been in their long memory.

So the two of them didn't just feel any dissatisfaction with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for crushing their blacksmith business. On the contrary, I am very grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm bored, I want to try to see if my craft has regressed. Ryan casually opened the magic freezer next to him, took out a bottle of cold ale, and motioned to Mentis.

Mentis waved his hand and held up the cold drink in his hand.

Ryan knew his old friend's habits, and he didn't say much, after closing the door of the magic freezer, he picked up the remote control placed on it, and pressed it casually, and the magic air conditioner hanging on the wall immediately made a soft clanging sound. A cool breeze blew out of it, and it didn't take long to reduce the house, which had been filled with heat just now because of his iron, into a comfortable and cool environment.

Mentis glanced up at the magic air conditioner hanging on the wall. Shaking his head and sighing: "It's still much better than your new flying brand magic air conditioner, and the refrigeration effect of the Ambella magic air conditioner in my store is far less good than yours." ”

"Who told you not to listen to my advice in the first place, and you had to buy this Amphila magic air conditioner. It's cheap, but why don't you buy it? Ryan snorted softly.

"It's not completely useless, it's just not as easy to use as the new flying brand magic air conditioner. Mentiss smiled wryly. "When I bought it, I also saw that the whole shell of this Amphila magic air conditioner was made in our store, and I thought it would be good to support it. ”

"Cut, what you use yourself, why don't you care so much. During this time, we also received an order for the base of the Zoens Chamber of Commerce's magic kettle, but do you see that I have a Zoens Chamber of Commerce's magic kettle at home?"

"You're an avid supporter of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, don't I know?" Mentis gave Ryan a blank look, then hesitated slightly, sat up straight, and leaned closer. "I said Ryan, you support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much, why didn't you go with you when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce called on other chambers of commerce to invest in the Marlo Empire?"

Ryan looked at Mantis in surprise: "Are you kidding? Don't you look at the guys who followed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before? The weakest of them is countless times stronger than us small merchants." What am I going to do with me?

"Ahem...... That was not what I meant. It's just ......" Mentis glanced out the door and lowered his voice slightly. "This time, Her Majesty the Queen and the Kingdom Council jointly issued a statement, saying that they want to carry out more in-depth cooperation with the Marquis of Southgate in the Maro Empire, and call on the major chambers of commerce in our Lampari Kingdom to seize this opportunity and invest in the Maro Empire, are you interested?"

"Are you crazy?" Ryan reached out and touched Mentis's forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about without a fever? Her Majesty the Queen and the Kingdom Council are calling for those big chambers of commerce, what about small characters like us who can only do a few accessories?"

Mentis angrily took Ryan's hand away and scolded, "I'm not crazy! Although we are only small characters, this has nothing to do with investing in the Marlo Empire. Didn't you read the Lampari Weekly Newspaper that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the first of those former Chambers of Commerce have picked up the prototype of a production base on the Marquess of Southgate's personal domain. As long as we get over and we can get into production soon, it's not as hard as you think. ”

Ryan was stunned and frowned at Mentis for a moment.

"Are you serious?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, why don't I take a nap at home at noon, and come to you?"

"This ......"

Seeing that Mentiss was indeed very serious, Ryan put down the wine bottle in his hand and thought in a muffled voice.

After a while, he nodded slightly: "Mentis, I admit it's a very good idea. But don't you think that's too risky? It's a place we don't know well, and it's hard to deal with any accidents. And let's not say that compared with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is countless times weaker than any of the chambers of commerce we went to before, what can we do if we go?"

"Adventure?" Mentis sneered from his nostrils. "Ryan, have you lived a stable life for a few years, and the whole person has become sluggish? If you want to take risks, isn't it risky enough for us to go to Bangta City to find the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? But look at how we are doing now? I tell you, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not bad at all, the world will continue to usher in drastic changes, if you don't learn to take risks, you can only be eliminated!"

Ryan was silent.

Although he and Mentis have been friends for many years, their personalities are very different.

Mentis is outgoing, willing to try new things and adventurous, while he has a calm personality and prefers to follow the path of the present.

Previously, the two found the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and wanted to join the small chamber of commerce support program, and it was also Mentes who encouraged him.

Now Mentis has found him to invest in the Marlo Empire with him, which is also a great adventure in his opinion.

But in his heart, he felt that this was indeed a very good idea.

The Maro Empire is much larger than the Lampari Kingdom, and both the market and the opportunity are naturally far exceeded, if you can grasp the opportunity, the future development prospects will be far stronger than staying in the small city of Karamay.

Seeing the change in the expression on Ryan's face, Mentiss knew that he was already a little moved, so he immediately increased his efforts to persuade him.

"You see, the first batch of chambers of commerce that entered the Maro Empire with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before were either comprehensive chambers of commerce, or specialized chambers of commerce like the Cantona Chamber of Commerce that specialized in the cultivation of farmland magic machinery, and when it came to the processing of parts, there was only one Irish United Chamber of Commerce. You don't think the Associated Irish Chamber of Commerce alone can supply enough parts to so many chambers of commerce, and it doesn't make sense to have those chambers come all the way back to buy parts, right?"

"Hmm......" Ryan nodded involuntarily. "So what do you mean...... We can now provide parts processing to those chambers of commerce that the United Irish Chamber of Commerce can't meet, but we don't have many types of parts that we can process now......"

"It's not a big deal. As long as we can get a head start, we can get a head start. The Magical Machinery Guilds are used to the parts we provide, and they won't buy parts from other chambers of commerce. Besides, we didn't do a bad job, didn't the engineers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also make a second-level standard assessment for the parts we processed. ”

"Hmm...... Let me think about it......" Ryan lowered his head, lost in thought again.

Mentiss fell silent and looked at him expectantly.

Ryan's steady and prudent personality is a very good complement to him, and the two have worked together through many difficulties over the years.

The decision to go to the Marlo Empire was also an extremely risky decision for Mentis, who hoped that Ryan would go with him.

In addition to wanting to have old friends with him, it is also because Ryan can help him solve a lot of problems.

Just as Mentiss patiently waited for Ryan to make a decision, there was a sudden sound of brakes outside the door.

Both of them were stunned and looked out the door at the same time.

If you heard it right, it was supposed to be the sound of a magic car braking suddenly, completely different from the freight magic locomotive they were used to.

And those who can ride in the magic car, even in the Lampari kingdom, where the magic car has been widely promoted, must not be an ordinary person.

It's just that in the middle of the day, who would suddenly come here?

An emaciated figure walked through the door with a smile in response to their gazes.

His gaze swept over the faces of the two, and he stretched out his hand and smiled: "I'm the vice president of the United Chamber of Ireland, which one is President Lane?"

Mentiss and Ryan looked at each other. (To be continued......)
