Chapter 85 - Death sentence
According to the schedule, two days after the end of the Bangta City Road Cycling Race, the New Flying Cycling Championship Bangta Station officially opened.
The opening of this race also marks the official opening of this year's New Flying Bicycle Championship.
Since the overall winner of last year's Xinfei Bicycle Championship received a total prize fund of 84,000 gold coins, this year's Xinfei Bicycle Championship has gained a lot of attention.
For the race of the New Flying Bicycle Championship in Bangta, from the start to the end, the newspapers in the kingdom of Lampari, as well as some newspapers in other surrounding countries, followed the race in great detail for a whole week.
Because of these reports, the cyclists who participated in the event got a lot of exposure, so that the bicycle brands under their names were more recognized.
With the end of the Xinfei Bicycle Championship, a rider from the Anjiete Chamber of Commerce finally won the championship of this station and won the championship prize of 5,000 gold coins, which lasted for half a month The frenzy of paying attention to bicycles has only weakened slightly.
And in this half month, along with this frenzy, all the bicycles produced by the cycling chamber participating in the event have achieved a significant increase in sales.
Aside from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, among the other seven bicycle chambers participating in the event, the Anjiete Chamber of Commerce, which has the most exaggerated sales growth, actually sold more than 7,600 bicycles in this half month, which is more than 300% more than the sales volume of last month!
The sales of the other six bicycle chambers also increased in different ways, with the lowest being more than 50 percent and the highest even approaching 200 percent.
comparatively. On the contrary, the sales of bicycles in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce increased the least. This is just a 17 percent increase from the previous month.
But it's only a 17 percent increase. The specific number of improvements is still far beyond the most obvious improvement of the Anjiete Chamber of Commerce.
Because the sales of Xinfei bicycles last month were 38,400 units, an increase of 17 percent, that is more than 6,500 units.
In the final analysis, in the field of bicycles, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still a behemoth that other chambers of commerce are completely out of reach.
It's just that judging from the current situation, other chambers of commerce have finally achieved very good growth with Xu Yi's strong support and cooperation.
In time, they may one day be able to catch up with the new merchants.
And this, precisely a lot of people. In particular, many other businessmen did not understand Xu Yi.
Obviously, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't have to do anything, it can monopolize this market and make more money for itself, why spend so much effort to help its competitors?
Xu Yi is not worried that one day the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be surpassed by other chambers of commerce, but he has no market, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in decline?
Although it is a joke to say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in decline now, this kind of worry is always necessary.
Of these people, President Crews was one of the most impressed.
Since he came into contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and met Xu Yi. Xu Yi has done this kind of thing countless times that everyone is puzzled.
President Crews asked Xu Yi this question countless times, but Xu never gave him a positive answer.
So every time I look at Xu Yi's practice. President Crews's doubts deepened.
Even if he is close to numbness because he has seen too much, but in private, he will often complain to Xu Yi about this when he is fine.
Like today.
"Hey, Xu Yi, aren't you panicking when you see the bicycle sales of the Agatet Chamber of Commerce?" President Cruise sat next to Xu Yi, glanced at the situation in the field in front of him, and asked Xu Yi in a relaxed tone.
Now he and Xu Yi are both in the Magic Car Arena built more than half a year ago outside Bangta City, and at this time, more than a dozen magic cars of different colors and models are driving at high speed on the track in the center of the race, doing activities to adapt to the field and prepare for the upcoming Magic Car Competition.
Compared to the previously high-profile Xinfei Bicycle Championship, this magic car race has received much less attention.
With the exception of some coverage of the race in the Daily Bonta and Lampari Weekly, the other newspapers did not mention anything about the match.
The reason for this situation is, first of all, because the magic car is still too far away for most ordinary people, they can't afford it, they can't touch it, and naturally they don't care more.
The second reason is because it was completely deliberate by Xu Yi.
At present, Xu Yi's primary promotion is cycling, and he is not in a hurry to fully promote the magic car.
Because he knows very well that whether it is the Lampari Kingdom or other surrounding countries, the magic car is currently too high-end to play it, and ordinary people can't afford to play it at all.
At this stage, his main targets were the more affluent merchants and aristocrats.
It's a small circle, so Xu doesn't need to pay too much attention to publicity.
Merchants and aristocratic circles had their own contact with each other, and after the introduction of the novelty of the magic car, it didn't take much effort to spread it in these two circles.
Now, in the kingdom of Lampari and the surrounding countries, if any merchant or nobleman does not have a new Feifei magic car at home, he is completely outdated, and even has no face to leave the house.
In view of this situation, Xu Yi will not vigorously promote it when the time is not ripe.
At present, this magic car competition is actually an amateur competition, in addition to providing a drag racing venue and atmosphere for those young businessmen and aristocrats who like drag racing, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the performance test of magic cars.
And today's game, because of the participation of Prince Frank's representative, is even more inappropriate for vigorous publicity.
Therefore, Xu Ye did not even open the game to the public, but closed the entire venue, and no one was allowed to enter except for those close to him like President Cruise.
"Why should I panic?" Xu Yi turned his head and looked at President Cruise with some amusement. "The bicycle sales of the Agatet Chamber of Commerce have increased a lot. That's a good thing. It's too late for me to be happy. ”
President Cruise rolled his eyes. Looks like I knew you were going to answer like that.
After a pause, President Cruise stretched out his hand and patted Xu Yi's shoulder, and said with a solemn expression: "Xu Yi, you have your own plans, I can understand this. But I must warn you. You might be fine doing this in the kingdom of Lampari and the small countries around you. But if you want to do the same in the Candela Empire, it is very likely that you will be swallowed up by those people in the Candela Empire. So...... You'd better be careful. ”
Xu Yi looked at him deeply: "Did you hear any news?"
President Cruise snorted angrily at the venue, "The Candela Empire has sent someone to contact you, and no one else knows. Wouldn't I know?"
Xu Yi nodded, thinking that this news was only blocked for ordinary people, but not for everyone, and it was not surprising that President Cruise received some news.
"Then how much do you know?" Xu Yi asked again.
President Cruise shook his head, "Not much. But I've heard...... The Candela Empire seems to have made very excessive demands on you?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
The demands made by the Candela Empire are not only excessive, they are simply very excessive!
In the agreement handed to Xu Yi by the director of Mancini, he actually asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to directly dedicate all the production technology of the magic car to Prince Frank.
Then it also asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a magic car production factory in the territory of the Frank prince in the Candela Empire, in which the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not only provide complete technology, but also a series of related magic machine tools. Assist in training a group of sufficient and qualified production personnel.
In other words, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce must help Prince Frank build a factory in his private domain that can independently produce magic rubber cars. At the same time, it must also give complete and perfect follow-up technical support and guarantee.
Compared to this, the agreement also requires the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a standard racing track on Prince Frank's private property, and at the same time provide maintenance personnel, which is simply not worth mentioning.
As for the return given by Prince Frank?
Obviously, there is no single gold coin, and as for other substantial returns, there is no zài at all.
Even when the manager Mancini finished reading the agreement, he put on a gesture that this is a gift to you, and you must be grateful.
Perhaps the only thing that can be called a reward is that Director Mancini said that as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signs this agreement and does what it says, Prince Frank will take care of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi did not comment on the agreement at that time, but only told Mancini that he needed to consider it for a while.
However, when he saw the very dissatisfied face of Chief Mancini, Xu Yi had already sentenced the other party to death in his heart.
This is not called cooperation, this is called kneeling and licking.
Although Xu Yi can admit that Prince Frank's status is noble, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can give a large part of its interests when cooperating with him, just to be able to enter the Candela Empire and open up the huge market of the Candela Empire, but he will never admit that he needs to kneel and lick His Royal Highness.
If this agreement is really agreed, then in Xu Yi's opinion, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is no different from the dog raised by Prince Frank.
Perhaps there are many people on this continent who would like to become the dog raised by Prince Frank, but Xu Yidi is unlikely to accept it.
Although this blocked the possibility of the relationship between Tong Guò and Prince Frank entering the Candela Empire, Xu was not too disappointed.
The incident of Tongguò, coupled with what happened during Russell's previous visit, gave Xu Yi a deeper understanding and judgment of the situation within the Candela Empire.
It's a huge empire, but it's a decaying empire that thinks too highly of itself and has almost lost its momentum.
In the past, Xu Yi might have pinned his hopes on the Candela Empire to revitalize the development of the entire magic industry on the Sainz continent and let the magic industry change the entire continent, but now, he gave up this idea.
The Candela Empire, in his eyes now, is actually not much different from these small countries around it.
The market is bigger, and it's just a bigger piece of fat. (To be continued......)
