Chapter 79: Are We Friends?

When he came to a small hall at the back with President Lanke, Xu Yi found that there were already five other people sitting here, and it was not the two who had a private chat as he thought.

His eyes swept over the faces of these people in the room, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that this president of the Orchid Branch didn't go around in circles with him at all, and directly found these people, did he plan to have a showdown tonight?

But after thinking about it, whether it is Xu Yi or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in the eyes of President Lanke and the few people here, I am afraid that they are not worth mentioning, so there is no need to rub shoulders with yourself, it is better to explain it directly.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Yi's mouth couldn't help but pass a slightly mocking smile.

"Come, President Xu, please be seated. President Lan Ke made a gesture of invitation to Xu Yi, and then pointed to the people present. "Let me introduce you, these are ......"

Xu Yi raised his hand to stop President Lanke's movements, and said with a smile: "President Lanke, these are the most famous businessmen in our Bangta City, if I don't even know them, what qualifications do I have to open a chamber of commerce?

Xu Yi's gaze was a middle-aged man of medium size with a few gray hairs, he was none other than Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce that Xu Yi had only talked to Viscount Leslie before.

Seeing that Xu Yi took the initiative to talk to him, President Morgan's face flashed with surprise, and then he laughed and said, "President Xu, you are joking." In terms of fame, which chamber of commerce in Bang Ta City is now in the limelight as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Your name as President Xu Yixu often appears in the "Bang Ta Daily", don't talk about us peers, but even the ordinary people in Bang Ta City know it, everyone knows it, right?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, I want to do business honestly and ignore other messy things, but Baron Haynas always says that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has news to dig up, and I always want to report some things about our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and me, and I can't do anything about him." ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the other people changed slightly.

When the novelty of the Bonta Daily newspaper first appeared, these people didn't pay much attention to it, but when the Bonta Daily quickly became popular in the city of Bonta and was even sold in two nearby cities, everyone immediately realized the huge impact of this thing.

Take the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an example, because the "Bangta Daily" always reports on some of the initiatives and actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which makes the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City soar rapidly, not to mention that everyone in Bangta City knows and everyone knows about it, even outside Bangta City.

Moreover, every time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launches a new product, the "Bangta Daily" will make a detailed report on it, not only explaining the function of the new product clearly, but also praising it, claiming that the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have brought great convenience to people's lives.

After such a period of time, both nobles and commoners inside and outside Bonta City now have a very high degree of recognition of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there were people who did not know the truth to buy magic machines imitated by other chambers of commerce, but now no one will do this.

Once someone comes up with this idea, it will definitely be reprimanded as a fool by everyone around them.

"The magic power machinery of the new flying brand is the best, you go to buy those messy magic machines that come out of nowhere, it will definitely kill you!"

This has now become a common understanding among everyone inside and outside the city of Bonta City.

Moreover, even the big businessmen here have now added some magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they must also admit that the quality of the magic machinery of the Xinfei brand is much better than other imitations.

Some time ago, the "Bonta Daily" also reported a news in Saltan City, saying that the Leo Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City also learned from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machinery, but not only did they have a quality problem with the Leo brand magic fan they produced before, because the fan blades fell off and several people were injured, and the recently produced Leo brand magic rice cooker exploded, which directly led to a Yan zhòng accident in which a civilian family in Saltan City was killed and seriously injured.

Although the Leo Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the largest chamber of commerce in Saltan City, it is also tossed by this continuous accident, and its reputation in Saltan City has fallen to the freezing point, and even triggered a collective incident of hundreds of people besieging the Chamber of Commerce.

Compared with the Leo Chamber of Commerce, the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not had a single accident so far, and each of the Xinfei brand magic machines is very durable, and the probability of quality problems is extremely low.

Besides, even if there is really a quality problem, the new flying chamber of commerce has also set up a so-called "after-sales service center" in Bangta City, as long as there is a problem with the new flying brand magic machinery, it can be repaired here for free within a year, so that people who buy the new flying brand magic fan have no worries.

It is precisely because of this stark contrast that it has only been more than three months, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei brand magic machinery have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Bangta City and several surrounding cities, and have been recognized by everyone.

The new magic rice cooker launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not done much publicity in other cities at all, and the merchants in those cities took the initiative to find the door to sell the new flying brand magic rice cooker.

And when the people in those cities heard that these magic rice cookers were produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they didn't have any doubts at all, and they bought them very simply.

The fundamental reason for this result is, of course, that the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed easy to use and of high quality, but the propaganda role played by the "Bonta Daily" is very important.

These people here are all big merchants in the city of Bangta, how can they not see this.

Morgan rolled his eyes and said with a smile to Xu Yi: "President Xu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Baron Hainas, the editor-in-chief of the "Bonta Daily?"

Xu Yi waved his hand: "It's just an ordinary friendship." ”

The rest of the people couldn't help but roll their eyes at Xu Yi in their hearts.

Friends in general?

If it's just a general friendship, will the "Bonta Daily" catch the report of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when it is fine? And it is always a positive report, and there is no negative report at all?

You must know that the Chamber of Commerce behind these people here also approached Baron Hainas and wanted him to report on the positive situation of his Chamber of Commerce, but Baron Hainas simply refused.

The reason given by Baron Hainas in this regard turned out to be that the focus of the work of the "Bonta Daily" during this period was on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the other chambers of commerce had nothing to report, which would not attract people to watch!

Of course, everyone thinks that this reason is also nonsense, because ordinary people may not know, but they know it, on the surface, it seems that "Bang Ta Daily" has nothing to do with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, but in fact, the creation of "Bang Ta Daily" is inextricably linked with Xu Yi.

Among other things, the reason why "Bang Ta Daily" was able to produce thousands of copies in a day was because Xu Yi designed a new magic printing press for "Bang Ta Daily", which greatly increased the speed of printing newspapers.

If Xu Yi did not have any investment in the "Bangta Daily", then no one believes it.

President Morgan couldn't help but snort softly: "President Xu, you are too few friends like this, right? Even if we let us know that you and Henas Nan have a good relationship, it is not a big deal, right? Anyway, everyone here is an old friend of the business federation, and you are about to join the federation, everyone is a companion, so why do you hide this from us?"

"Friend?" Xu Yi showed a hint of surprise and affection, looked at President Morgan and shook his head, "President Morgan, do you treat me as a friend? I thought you had never thought about it that way, otherwise, why would you suddenly increase the price of pig iron by a full 10%?"

As soon as Xu Yi's question was raised, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

President Morgan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Yi in surprise, he didn't expect that Xu Yi would actually bring up this matter in front of these people here, and it was so straightforward, without any cover-up.

"This ......," President Morgan said with a dry laugh, "Chairman Xu, business matters don't seem to have anything to do with our personal friendship, right? Raising the price of pig iron is a joint decision within the Chamber of Commerce, and it is not something that I can decide alone." Besides, this increase in the price is not aimed at your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I ask President Xu not to think too much. ”

"Is it? The personal friendship between me and Baron Hainas has nothing to do with the Daily Bonta reporting on our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, after all, Baron Hainas alone has the final say. Xu Yi smiled.

President Morgan was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Yi, although he still maintained a smile on his face, there was obviously a trace of coldness.

President Ranko coughed suddenly, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"President Xu, I think you should have guessed a few things about inviting you to this banquet tonight. ”

Xu Yi nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, President Lan Ke wants to accept our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a member of the Chamber of Commerce?"

President Ranko smiled and nodded, "That's right, exactly. Originally, with the current scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in fact, to be honest, it was not enough to meet the standards for joining our business association. However, President Xu is not an ordinary businessman, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not an ordinary Chamber of Commerce, after discussion, we decided to specially recruit the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a member, I don't know what President Xu thinks?"
