Chapter 33: The Bottom Line

"Oh?" Xu Yi asked in surprise. "What is the big trouble? Is there a bigger trouble than the dismissal of more than 18,000 workers at once?"

Kennard glanced at Xu Yi with a resentful look.

"Grow up, strictly speaking...... This big trouble is really caused by this large-scale layoff. ”

"What is that? Tell me. ”

Kennard handed the report in his hand to Xu Yi: "This is the existing order situation of the Chamber of Commerce that I just counted, you can take a look." ”

Xu Yi took a look and found that the number on this report showed that the existing orders of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had declined slightly.

But this is also expected, after all, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a huge advantage over other magic machinery chambers of commerce, it is impossible to really completely monopolize all the magic machinery market.

Because the large-scale layoffs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce inevitably greatly affected the production capacity, making many buyers who have placed orders even more unable to receive the goods on time.

Even if the quality and performance of the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce surpass the magic machinery of other chambers of commerce in all aspects, in order to be able to obtain the magic machinery they need, there are still many buyers who choose to order from other magic machinery chambers of commerce.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Xu Yi asked Kennard in confusion.

Kennard smiled bitterly: "Lord, haven't you noticed? This is the order statistics we have now, but if you look at the time, you will find that in the last month, the new orders received by our chamber of commerce have decreased by nearly half compared with the same period last year. This means that many buyers have lost confidence in our chamber of commerce, which is a very serious problem. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly. He didn't look nervous.

"Losing faith in us? Not necessarily. I think they're just losing patience. As long as our chamber of commerce recovers production capacity. I'm sure they'll still turn around and re-order from our Chamber of Commerce. ”

Kennard shook his head. sighed: "Lord Grow, it will take a lot of effort to regain the lost market, and the effect may not be good. You see, the order statistics show that our markets in the Kingdom of Ruersun, the Duchy of Mirando and the Duchy of Draco, as well as the three smaller principalities that have recently opened, have shrunk considerably. According to my statistics, it's just because of the losses caused by the shrinking of these markets. It's already more than two million gold coins. Combined with the liquidated damages of 3,260,000 gold coins we paid when we dismissed the more than 18,000 workers before, our loss in this matter this time has exceeded the terrifying five million gold coins!"

Looking at the trace of resentment in Kennard's eyes, Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, thinking that Kennard was the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce had such a big thing and such a strict loss, no wonder he felt a lot of pressure, so much so that he had a trace of resentment in his heart.

However, Xu also has no regrets about this decision.

After using thunderbolt to dismiss the more than 18,000 workers who had made trouble and went on strike in one go, the situation in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce quickly stabilized.

Now the workers on the workshops of the various factories under the Chamber of Commerce. All are back to normal working condition.

Although the atmosphere is a little more solemn than before, it has improved the efficiency of work as a result.

In addition, Sancelli led the development of a series of automatic magic machine tools. As a result, the efficiency of all plants has been greatly improved.

Xu also believes that with a little more time for the workers to adapt, the productivity of each factory floor will be much higher than before the dismissal of the more than 18,000 workers, which in turn will increase the overall productivity of the chamber of commerce.

"Okay, in order to be able to solve the problem once and for all, losses are inevitable. Rather than always procrastinating and letting this problem persist, it is better to solve it before it completely affects the entire Chamber of Commerce. Although we lost more than five million gold coins this time, but the positive effect of the comparator on the Chamber of Commerce after solving this problem, I think the five million gold coins were well spent. Xu Yizheng said.

Kennard was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

No matter how much he was saddened by the loss of the Chamber of Commerce, as the chief executive in charge of administrative affairs, he actually knew better than Xu Yi how serious the problems behind this strike were.

Although the solution adopted by Xu Yi was too drastic, it was indeed the most radical way to solve the problem.

Under the influence of Xu Yi's ruthless solution, the employees who remain in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are extremely loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, and they dare not make any more excessive trouble.

In addition, Xu Yitiyì founded the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Workers' Union, giving employees a formal way to submit their opinions to the Chamber of Commerce, effectively avoiding the possibility of another strike because of their opinions, and further enhancing the cohesion of the employees of the Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, compared with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before the general strike and large-scale layoffs, is running more smoothly and efficiently as a whole.

As CEO, Kennard was well aware of this.

So in fact, if you calculate it carefully, the negative impact that these two things really brought to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the loss of more than five million gold coins.

Although these losses are extremely strict for many other chambers of commerce, and even more devastating for many smaller and less profitable chambers of commerce, and even for many first-class chambers of commerce, they are also heavy losses, but for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not a strict and unacceptable loss.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now been fully developed in several surrounding countries, with products in almost every place in each country, and cooperation with every country, and the income has been in a state of rapid growth.

According to statistics, the monthly net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last month has reached an astonishing 1.48 million gold coins, which has increased by half compared to the 930,000 gold coins in January this year.

According to this trend, by the end of this year, the annual profit of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will most likely reach or even exceed fifteen million gold coins.

Therefore, although the loss of five million gold coins is still not small, it is completely within the bearability of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, the new flying chamber of commerce is mainly affected by these two things temporary orders, in the long run, as long as the new flying chamber of commerce production capacity is sufficient, then with the high quality and high performance of the new flying brand magic machinery, how much production can be sold, no worries about sales, and naturally there is no worry about income.

So what really made Kennard feel big trouble, in fact, was because other buyers chose other brands of magic machinery this time, and it would be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to snatch back this part of the market in the future.

"It's not a hassle, actually...... That's what I want to see. Xu Yi smiled. "I've been thinking about how to get other brands of magic machines to enter new markets, and now that this kind of thing has happened, it has saved me a lot of effort for others to take the initiative to look at other brands of magic machines. ”

Kennard couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Having worked with Xu Yi for so long, of course he knew that Xu Yi's dream had always been to make the magic industry spread all over the continent, not just hoping that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a chamber of commerce, would occupy the entire continent.

For ordinary businessmen, it is natural to hate being robbed of the market, but in Xu Yi's view, this is a joy to see.

After thinking about it, Kennard didn't dwell on this issue, but raised another question.

"Lord Lord, although you have no opinion on the market being robbed, but because of the impact of this incident, several countries have postponed their intention to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce, and even the Principality of Norton and the Principality of Rickaf have turned their attention to other chambers of commerce, intending to cooperate with other chambers of commerce in the field of magic machinery. You should pay attention to this, right?"

"Hmm...... That's a problem. However, the problem is not that they do not cooperate with our chamber of commerce, but that cooperating with other chambers of commerce is likely to make these two principalities go the wrong way, wasting time and manpower and material resources, and if it is not good, it will also make these two principalities disgusted with the magic industry, which is not good. ”

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and continued: "In this way, investigate which chambers of commerce these two guilature councils choose to cooperate, and then we will find these chambers of commerce and inform them of some of the standards we have formulated, hoping that they can strictly enforce them." If they don't want to, they do so at their own peril. ”

Xu Yi's tone was very calm, but there was absolutely no doubt domineering in his words.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now occupies an absolute controlling position in the magic industry, and Xu Yi naturally has the confidence to say this.

Kennard didn't show any surprise, and nodded in response.

"What about the Duchy of Norton and the Duchy of Rickaf, and what should we do?" Kennard asked.

"Send someone to contact them, and say that our Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with them in terms of magical machinery that other Chamber of Commerce can't handle. Xu Yi replied.

Kennard was taken aback: "Lord, what do you mean ......?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Yes." In terms of magic machine tools, our chamber of commerce is also willing to transfer some related technologies to cooperate with it. ”

"What about the military magic machinery?" Kennard asked cautiously.

Xu Yi glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Seeing Xu Yi's eyes, Kennard exhaled lightly and put his mind at ease.

No matter how generous the elder is, no matter how much he thinks about other chambers of commerce, no matter how much he regards the promotion of the magic industry to the entire continent as his ideal, he still has a bottom line and persistence.

The military magic machine is a weapon that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce enjoys alone, and it can be regarded as the trump card of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is strong enough to be invincible, it is best to hold this aspect tightly in its own hands. (To be continued......)
