Chapter 163: Dwarves also want to save face

"President. ”

"President. ”

"President, you're here......"

......

Seeing Xu Yi suddenly appear, everyone who was concentrating on discussing immediately greeted Xu Yi respectfully.

Xu Yi waved his hand to stop Ankato from moving his seat, picked up a formed tire from the ground, stood it on the ground, and pressed it hard.

Feeling the strength of this tire, which was less than his waist height and less than five centimeters wide, Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, it looks like the whole thing is already taking shape. Then you just need to deal with a few details, and the tire is considered a success. ”

With Xu Yi's approval, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

Portru smiled, and then had time to ask, "President, are you here to see this specifically this time?"

"Nope. This thing brings together the most elite R&D elites in our chamber of commerce, and I have nothing to worry about, I just stopped by to have a look. Xu Yi shook his head, and suddenly asked Ildan: "Ildan, if other chambers of commerce offer you a salary of three hundred gold coins a year, are you willing to go?"

Ildan was stunned: "Three hundred gold coins a year...... That's less than twenty gold coins a month, not more than I have here, so why should I go if I stay here well?"

"What if it's five hundred gold coins? That's a lot more than you have here. Xu Yi asked again.

Ildan still shook his head: "No, even if I am given a thousand gold coins, I will not go." I'm very comfortable in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, both human and dwarf. All get along very well with me. I don't want to readjust to an unfamiliar environment. ”

Seeing that Ildan replied very resolutely. Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that you elves really don't like to change the environment lightly. Although I am very happy to stand in the position of the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when you say this, I am afraid that Elder Elucia will not be very happy. ”

Ildan frowned slightly: "Elder, did you suddenly mention this because something happened?"

"Well, because there is another chamber of commerce that also wants to hire elves to work in their chamber of commerce, and offers a salary of three hundred or even five hundred a year, before asking Elder Elucia. I'd like to start by asking you for your opinions. Xu Yidao. "But judging by your attitude, I'm afraid the other elves here don't want to go either?"

Ildan nodded affirmatively, "Yes." ”

"Then you say, will Elder Elucia be tempted by this mention?" Xu Yi asked again.

"This ......" Ildan thought for a moment and shook his head slowly, "I can't guess what the elder thinks. I suppose you might as well ask the elders for yourselves, Elder. ”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

After discussing his requirements for the new tires with everyone, Xu Yi left the tire processing plant and came to the most conspicuous steel mill in the Falling Rain Valley.

On this originally vacant land, preparations were being made to erect two new steel-making furnaces.

As the business of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continues to expand, the demand for various steel products is also increasing.

Coupled with the urgent demand for all kinds of steel from the military arsenal, and the large demand from other chambers of commerce in Bangta City for the various special steel produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce steelworks, the steel mill is now gradually starting to produce some steel to meet these needs.

Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto had already asked Xu Yiti to build a few more steel-making furnaces. In order to increase the steel production capacity of steel mills.

Although Xu Yi had long understood this trend, he did not rashly agree. Instead, after confirming the cooperation with the military department, and then doing a detailed investigation of the development needs of the various chambers of commerce in Bonta City, especially those related to magic machinery, and finally making an accurate estimate and judgment based on the results of the investigation, it was determined that two steel-making furnaces would be erected in one go.

By the time the two furnaces are in production, the mill's output will be close to 200,000 tonnes per month.

According to Xu Yi's estimates, it should be able to meet the demand for various steel products in the past two years for the military department and Bangta City.

And if the steel output reaches 200,000 tons, then the monthly sales revenue of this steel mill alone will reach nearly 8 million gold coins.

Although after putting aside the cost, the final net profit is still about one million gold coins, but this is still an extremely terrifying number.

You must know that even if you add up the profits of the various household magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the total amount of each month is only more than 300,000 gold coins.

Of course, the total profit of the household magic machinery division is not as good as that of this small steel mill, and that is because the current home magic machinery market of the new flying chamber is mainly concentrated in Bangta City and several surrounding cities.

And with the entry of household magic machinery into the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce and began to sell in every part of the Lampari Kingdom, this market will show several times or even dozens of times of growth in the future, and the total profit will also grow explosively.

Not long ago, the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce placed a super large order with a total amount of 3 million gold coins from various chambers of commerce in Bangta City that produce magic machinery for household use.

In this order, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce naturally occupies the lion's lead, with a total amount of 1.8 million gold coins, and the remaining 1.2 million gold coins are divided by other chambers of commerce.

This is also due to the fact that the home magic machine has just been launched across the country of Lampari, and many people have not fully embraced this new thing.

According to Hank Wilson, who came to negotiate with Xu Yi last time, the household magic machinery has received a very good response from all over the kingdom, which will make the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce suddenly decide to place such a huge order for the household magic machinery with a total amount of up to three million gold coins.

In fact, according to Xu Yi's inference, it was only an order of three million gold coins, which could not meet the needs of everyone in the kingdom at all.

If every family in the Lampari Kingdom could have the same spending power as these people in Bunta City, then the order would be far more than three million gold coins, and it would not be surprising that it would become thirty million.

Therefore, if we actually extrapolate the prospects, the household magic machinery market and the steel market are two markets that are very stable in the future. The profits won't vary much.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a steel mill, can now have such a high profit. It is also because the current steel market is completely monopolized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And 200,000 tons of monthly steel production. In fact, it is not enough to look at it on the earth, it can only be regarded as a very small steel mill, and it cannot be compared with any steel mill on the earth.

In summary, whether it is the household magic machinery market or the steel market, in Xu Yi's view, the prospects are extremely broad, so he has never been worried about the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Next to the newly built steel-making furnace, Xu Yi unsurprisingly met the two patriarchs of Eshluby and Monto.

But after meeting them. Xu Yi's first question has nothing to do with any of the factories in the Falling Rain Valley.

"Patriarch Sluby, Patriarch Monto, where are the men you have ready?"

Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto looked at each other, nodded in unison, and motioned for Xu to come with them.

Following in the footsteps of the two patriarchs, they left the industrial area of the Falling Rain Valley and entered the living quarters closer to the upper reaches of the Sandy River, and soon saw an empty square the size of a standard football field.

This square was specially vacated by Xu Yi when he first asked the Amrley Chamber of Commerce to build a living area, which can be regarded as an activity place for dwarves.

Now in this square, Xu Yi saw rows of dwarves and strong men with round waists and thick shoulders who were shirtless, wielding huge wooden sticks in their hands. is snoring and drinking sparring.

Hearing the crunch of the sticks hitting the muscles of the dwarf's upper body, you knew that these gangs still didn't have any hands left even during practice. Each blow was extremely hard.

Xu Yi is sure that if he goes up, with his physique, he is afraid that he will lose half his life if he is beaten with a stick.

"These are the manpower you have finally decided?" Xu Yi asked the two patriarchs, pointing to the sweaty dwarves and strong men in the square. "It seems like there are hundreds of people, right? Why are there so many?"

Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto glanced at each other again, the expression on their faces a little strange.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the two, Xu Yi was very strange.

He has been in contact with these two dwarven patriarchs and many dwarves for a long time, and he knows that the dwarves are very straightforward, so how can there be such a twist and pinch, and he seems to be a little embarrassed?

"Two patriarchs, if you have something to say, just say it. Can't you still trust me?" Xu Yi couldn't help frowning and asked.

"No, no, no, of course we believe in you. But......" Patriarch Sluby scratched his head and said with a really embarrassed expression: "President, these manpower is indeed selected by us, and I can guarantee that it is the strongest group of these dwarven brothers in the Falling Rain Valley now, and it definitely meets your requirements." But...... But they weren't ready to join the guards......"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Don't you plan to join the escort team, then you take me to see what they do? I said Patriarch Sluby, what the hell is wrong with you and Patriarch Monto? Is there anything that can't be said directly? If the dwarf brothers are really unwilling to work for the human race and don't want to join the escort team of the Chamber of Commerce, then I will definitely not be reluctant, you can just sue me directly." ”

"No, it's not that the brothers don't want to. On the contrary, when we heard that the president was going to establish a chamber of commerce escort team, the brothers were completely surprised by us, and they rushed to sign up one by one to join the escort team. Perhaps unable to stand Patriarch Sluby's twisting appearance, Patriarch Monto took over and said, "There are a total of three hundred dwarven brothers here, and Sluby and I have carefully selected them from the more than 1,000 dwarven brothers who have signed up. I can guarantee that each of them is the most powerful warrior even among us dwarves. Any one of them will be fine against ten human soldiers, I'm ...... Ah, I'm sorry, President, but I didn't mean to look down on you humans......"

Xu Yi waved his hand: "It's nothing." It is fair to say that the individual combat capability of human beings is the weakest among all races, and I do not deny it. Go on, since it was the dwarven brothers themselves who were willing, why did the Sluby patriarch just say that they weren't ready to join the convoy?"

"This ......" Patriarch Montto also hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, as if he had made up his mind, and asked Xu Yi: "President, I heard...... The fifty elven warriors of the Nightsong clan did not join the escort team, but worked for the Chamber of Commerce as the equivalent of mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Yes." Elder Elucia clearly told me that it is impossible for the elves to be willingly used by humans, so he sent these fifty elven warriors to work as a partnership. The elven warriors are not my subordinates, and I don't have any specific command over them. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood.

"Two patriarchs, you ...... In fact, I don't want the dwarven brothers to be compared to the elves, so I don't want these dwarf brothers to join the escort team, right?"

Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto were stunned at the same time, and then they both smiled bitterly.

"President, you're so sharp. Patriarch Sluby said with an embarrassed expression. "That's right. Since the elves have not joined the escort team, if we dwarves join, I am afraid that my brothers will not be able to raise their heads in front of those already arrogant elves in the future. So I consulted with Patriarch Monto about whether to let the Three Hundred Brothers work as mercenaries, but don't worry, Chief, we won't just say nice things like those elves. These three hundred soldiers, you have complete command, let them do whatever they want. ”

Seeing the somewhat worried smiles on the faces of Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.

These dwarves are so cute and straightforward.

Isn't it just that they want to save face in front of the elves, and it's not a big deal, so why should they look like they've done something wrong.

"Okay, that's easy. I want to think about it...... That's fine, let's create a dwarven convoy in the Falling Rain Vale in the name of your two patriarchs. This dwarven escort is only nominally to protect the dwarven brothers in the Falling Rain Valley from external enemies and ensure the safety of the inside of the Falling Rain Valley, but in fact it will also accept my command, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Patriarch Sluby and Patriarch Monto looked at each other again and nodded at the same time. (To be continued......)
