Chapter 63: Cantona of the Dilemma
It looks like the spring harvest season is about to begin.
This time of year has been Cantona's busiest, but also happiest.
Because the Cantona Chamber of Commerce has more than ten sets of farmland magic machinery, every spring harvest season, many people in Bonta City and several surrounding cities will invite the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to help with the harvest.
Although it is very busy and tiring, this job not only makes a lot of money, but also can accumulate a lot of fame for the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, so although the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is no longer the small Chamber of Commerce with only a dozen farmland magic machines at the beginning, Cantona still attaches great importance to this work.
But at this time this year, Cantona is worried.
If nothing else, it's just because of a new regulation issued by the City Lord's Mansion.
The Castle Lord's Mansion requires that in order to ensure the smooth progress of spring harvest and spring ploughing, the land of Bangta City must use the farmland magic machinery of the brand designated by the Castle Lord's Mansion.
As for this designated brand, of course, it is the Hayada brand farmland magic machinery produced by the Hayada Chamber of Commerce, which is the only one recognized by the Magical Industry Administration.
In fact, everyone knows why this rule of the City Lord's Mansion is, but Cantona has no choice.
The other chambers of commerce in Bangta City can't continue to work in Bangta City, and they can choose to move out, but the farmland cultivation and harvesting business engaged in by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is originally based on the land of Bangta City, and it can't escape the jurisdiction of Bangta City at all.
Cantona had also considered leaving Bonta City, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could not leave the Lampari Kingdom directly, and if it was to do business in other cities in the kingdom, it would be in its current form. But it only delayed the time.
This is because the Magical Industry Administration is in the process of promoting this provision throughout the Lampari Kingdom. It is claimed that in order to ensure the standardization and rationality of farmland planting. Must use a brand of Farmland Magic Machinery recognized by the Magical Industry Administration.
Forced into desperation, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could only purchase a full ten sets of complete sets of farmland magic machinery from the Hayada Chamber of Commerce, so it cost close to 10,000 gold coins.
Cantona thought that he would be able to continue his previous business, but when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce carried out the first farmland harvest on the farmland contracted by the village of Mexico, these ten sets of farmland magic machinery were full of problems, and the remaining 100 acres of wheat in the village of Mexico took three days to complete the harvest.
You know, a few years ago. As long as the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is fully mobilized, the 100 acres of farmland in Mexico Village can be solved in one morning at the earliest.
Listening to a piercing screech from a Hayata-brand farmland magic harvester not far away, and then stopped and was silent, even the light of the magic array no longer emitted, Cantona frowned deeply.
In these three days, only the Soona brand small magic harvester was used, but thirteen of the twenty Hayada brand small magic harvesters had various problems, and six of them had strict problems and could not be started at all.
The most exaggerated thing is that two of the key bearings in it were directly broken!
It's an incredible question, given that this bearing is the root of the entire small magic harvester. The best materials are used, but this Hayada small magic harvester has only been used for two days. Even the bearing can be broken, which shows how poor the quality is.
"President, I can't do this. A worker from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce threw away his broken Hayata magic harvester and complained to Cantona: "If we keep doing this, we won't be able to do our work." ”
"Yes, President, it looks like I'm dying. Not far away, a worker who was still holding on also smiled bitterly. "Listen, what the hell is going on here? I don't think it's ...... anymore."
Before he finished speaking, the small magic harvester he was holding suddenly burst out with a strange white light, and then the light disappeared, and the sound disappeared, becoming motionless.
Everyone looked at each other, and the worker sighed, let go of his hand, came to Cantona, shook his head, and said, "President, I can't do it anymore." What the hell is this Hayata brand magic harvester, it's just a bunch of rags. ”
"Even if it's not broken, it's not as efficient as the new Flying Magic Reaper. What's more, the new flying brand magic harvesters we bought have been used for three years now, and none of them have broken down, at most there is a little problem. ”
"That's right, how easy it is to use the new flying brand magic harvester, how easy to break like this bullshit Hayada brand magic harvester. President, let's take out the new flying brand magic harvester and use it, otherwise we won't be able to do it at all. ”
"Yes, yes, President, take out the new flying brand magic harvester, why don't you use this pile of rags?"
"The chairman is worried about the rules of the castle lord's mansion......"
"The rules of bullshit, we use them ourselves, how can the City Lord's Mansion manage it. ”
"That's not easy to say......"
......
Cantona frowned, looked up at the entrance of the village of Mexiland, and saw a man speeding from the entrance of the village on his bicycle.
Watching the man ride all the way to the edge of the field, Cantona and a group of workers met him.
"Hey, Macaro, why did you just come back? Didn't you take the bus, go and go back quickly? Why are you riding your bike?" asked Cantona eagerly.
Makaro put the bicycle away and spread his hands with a wry smile: "The price of the bus has increased again, and I think it's not worth it." Besides, it's not too far from the city, so I went by bike. ”
"The price has risen again?" a group of people were stunned. "Didn't the price go up last month? Now it's up again, how much has it got?"
"Thirty silver coins for one trip......," Macaro sighed, "It costs sixty silver coins for a round trip, and you say that it is not a loss to take the bus." ”
"Damn! It only rose to twenty silver coins last month, and this month it has suddenly risen to thirty silver coins? This is crazy, isn't it? It's so expensive, the ghost has to sit!"
"Fuck, I knew that when Filson pulled out of the city bus system, the price of this thing was going to go up. But I never thought that it would rise so dramatically! In the past, it only cost eight silver coins for one trip, okay?"
"Filson's car and horse dealers are true. They're doing a good job. Why do you want to quit? We can't afford to sit on the bus now. ”
"You can't blame Filson for being a car. You didn't read what the "Bonta Daily" said, it was all because the rules of the city lord's palace forced them to quit, otherwise they would die. Do you think that Filson doesn't need to make money?"
"Then the city lord's mansion handed over the city bus system to the Rafali Chamber of Commerce, and the price increase can't be so exaggerated, right?
Don't forget, the reason why we can't use the Xinfei Brand Farmland Magic Machinery is because of the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"Damn, these guys in the City Lord's Mansion are simply shameless!"
"Shh......h Don't talk nonsense......"
......
Cantona looked up, interrupting the conversation. He asked Makaro, "Don't worry about the bus for now, Makaro, did you go to the Hayada Chamber of Commerce and ask?"
Makaro nodded and replied, "I asked, and they said they would send someone to see the situation." ”
"Then they didn't say when they would send someone to fix it?" asked Cantona again.
"I also asked about this, and they said that it was okay to repair it, but they asked us to pay for the repair. ”
"Do you want maintenance money?" the group was stunned. "Is there a mistake! It's been less than a month since these farmland magic machines were bought, okay? It should still be within the warranty period, and we still have to pay for it to be repaired?"
"That's right, this is too, isn't it? The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promises to repair it for free within half a year, and selectively free maintenance within three years. This bullshit Hayata Chamber of Commerce doesn't even have a single free repair? How does this business?"
"Alright. What kind of are you comparing the Hayada Chamber of Commerce with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and you are not afraid that President Xu will be angry? What qualifications do they have to compare with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? They also deserve it?"
"What then? Shall we admit it?"
Seeing the questioning glances cast by a group of men. Cantona frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked Macarlo, "Did they say how much the maintenance fee would cost?"
"They say not necessarily. Makaro recalled the answer he received at the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. "If it's a minor problem, we'll send them over and have them fix it for two gold coins at a time, and if they send someone to fix it, three gold coins at a time. If it is a big problem, it is from ten gold coins to twenty gold coins, depending on the specific situation. ”
Hearing this answer, a group of workers around couldn't help but curse again.
Fifteen of the twenty Wasata-brand small magic harvesters in the field have broken down, and none of them look like a minor problem.
In other words, to repair all these fifteen units, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce will have to pay at least close to two hundred gold coins for the maintenance fee alone.
"President, I think that even if these broken things are repaired, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will break down again, and with this kind of work efficiency, we will not be able to harvest many fields at all. ”
"Yes, if we continue to use them, we will probably not make enough money to repair them. ”
"But what are we going to do this year without them?"
"What to do? It's clear that I can't do it anymore. ”
"If you can't do it, don't you do it? This is the most basic business of our chamber of commerce. ”
......
Once again, a group of people turned their attention to Cantona.
At such a time, it is still up to him, the president, to make the decision.
Cantona couldn't help but smile bitterly, why shouldn't he be embarrassed now.
Obviously, if you continue to use these Hayata Farm Magic Machines, the end result will be that the money you make is far from enough to cover the maintenance costs.
But no, it means that they have given up the most basic but also the most stable business of farmland harvesting and reclamation.
The only solution to this problem is to reactivate the new Flying Farm Magic Machine.
But there were the rules of the City Lord's Mansion in the way, but he didn't dare to disobey it lightly.
"I had known that I would have listened to the advice of Father Sackchi, learned from other chambers of commerce, and directly gave up the Lampari Kingdom. Anyway, this kingdom has been made into a miasma by those guys now, and it can't stay. ”
Cantona sighed in his heart, thought about it, shook his head, and was just about to ask Macaro to go to the Soona Chamber of Commerce again, and invited the other party's maintenance personnel over, but when he looked up, he found a pure black magic car driving from the entrance of the village of Mexico.
