Chapter 67: Base Activation
While Eto'o was taking the text on the magic locomotive of off-road freight and studying it carefully, the other two people from the military department began to talk to Xu Yi.
Unlike Eto'o's specific requests, the two officers from the Intelligence Agency and the Operational Staff revealed to Xu Yi the willingness of the military department to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, saying that the specific matters still need to be decided after some investigations.
However, Baron from the Operational Staff still proposed a specific idea of the Military Department to Xu Yi, that is, he hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could provide more information about military magic machinery to facilitate the evaluation of the Military Combat Staff.
"To put it simply, the military department wants to know the specific role that these military magic machines produced by your chamber of commerce can play, how powerful they are, whether they are convenient to use, and whether they are convenient for follow-up maintenance...... and so on. Only knowing this, can the military department make a decision on whether it needs to officially introduce these military magic machines, as well as ...... How much will be introduced. President Hee, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Yi smiled lightly and nodded: "Of course, inspection is also a necessary procedure, which is normal. In this way, I have two suggestions, one is that you sent some professionals to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to conduct field investigations and see with your own eyes where those military magic machines are useful. After all, you can't feel it intuitively just by looking at the information, is it?"
"Well, that's our initial plan. And what about the other one?"
"There's another mention of yì...... It's more intuitive than if you were to investigate it yourself. I can bring one of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort over and demonstrate to you in person what these military magic machines can do. I think it will make you feel it a little bit deeper. ”
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Baron Mov and the officers of the Intelligence Agency on the side couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. There was a slightly strange look on his face.
This mentions sound pretty good. But the two of them felt a hint of contempt from Xu Yi's tone. It made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable.
Baron Mov pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, the first mention was originally the intention of the military department, and now that you have taken the initiative to propose it, President Xu, even if both of us have a preliminary agreement, then we can negotiate the details." As for the second mention yì...... I can't answer you now, and I'll make a decision from above when I go back and report it. President Xu, what do you think?"
"Of course I don't have a problem, this is just a mention, and the decision is in your hands. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression.
Baron Mov and Xu Yi basically negotiated, but the remaining officer from the Military Intelligence Agency did not talk to Xu Yi unexpectedly, and when the exchange between Baron Mov and Xu Yi was over, he got up directly, pulled Viscount Eto'o, who was studying the information next to him, and made a gesture of farewell.
Viscount Eto'o was immersed in the information, and he suddenly planned it. And a little impatient.
Wait until you react and find out the movements of the two. That's when I came to my senses.
However, he didn't leave in a hurry, but pointed to the information in his hand and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, when will this kind of off-road magic locomotive that can even easily gallop on the mountains be built?"
"It's still in research and development, and I'm not sure exactly when it will be built. However, if you have a strong demand for this type of magic locomotive, we may be able to develop it some time in advance. ”
Although Xu Yi didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.
Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can develop this kind of magic locomotive, but whether it is fast or slow depends on whether it can make money.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, Eto'o nodded in understanding, pointed to the information in his hand, and then pointed to himself, looking at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi smiled and spread out his hands: "This information was originally prepared for you. ”
Eto'o immediately and unceremoniously put away the information, before turning to the Marquis of Southgate.
"President Xu, you should stay here for a few more days this time, right?" Before leaving, Baron Mov asked Xu Yi.
"Well, maybe a week or so. ”
"Well, I hope you'll be able to keep the Marquis in touch with you, as we should be back soon. ”
"Welcome. Xu Yi said with a smile.
After the three of them said goodbye and left, the Marquis of Southgate did not discuss anything with Xu Yi about military magic machinery, but directly dragged him to the magic industrial base on his private domain.
The new site is already in production with four factories: a steelmaking plant affiliated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, an engineering steel forging plant affiliated with the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland, a cement processing plant affiliated with the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and a household magic machinery assembly plant affiliated with a chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari.
Except for the small chamber of commerce's household magic machinery assembly factory, the other three factories are actually all for the Amritri Chamber of Commerce's road paving in the Maro Empire to provide basic supplies.
Since the Marlo Empire has not yet made up its mind to promote road construction on a large scale, virtually all the production of these three factories is actually supplied to the high-rise apartment buildings that the Amrley Chamber of Commerce is currently building on the private land of the Marquis of Southgate.
When the Marquis of Southgate visited the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Stantin, he saw these high-rise apartment buildings built exclusively by the Amrité Chamber of Commerce in many cities, and he liked them very much.
So he invited the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to build the road in the southwestern province, and he also invited the Amritri Chamber of Commerce to build some similar apartment buildings on his private land.
It should be said that construction engineering is the main business of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, and road paving is a side business.
So after taking over the construction of these apartment buildings in the Marquis of Southgate's private estate, six six-storey apartment buildings have now been erected on the land in less than a year.
According to the plan, the six apartment buildings can accommodate 218 households.
The Marquis of Southgate gave these apartment buildings directly to some of his loyal men in his domain, and they were welcomed by all.
For these people who previously had only ordinary wooden houses as a place to live. Now I can live in such a high place. It also has a spacious, bright and flat house. It's like you've been in another world.
The Marquis of Southgate then made an order to the Amrité Chamber of Commerce for the construction of twenty apartment buildings, and accepted an offer from the Amrité Chamber of Commerce to build a villa complex by a river in his private estate.
Now all the cement, steel and other items produced by these three factories are used in the construction site of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce here.
As for the final household magic machinery assembly factory, it can be regarded as a cooperation project between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Net.
The factory nominally belonged to a lesser-known magical mechanical chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, but in reality the ownership of the factory belonged directly to Queen Sevigny.
This factory will produce all the magic machines that all the Magic Machinery Chambers in the Lampari Kingdom are currently capable of producing, but at the time of production. However, the various magic machinery chambers in the Lampari kingdom that participated in this cooperation project provided parts and assembly workers, and when they were finally produced, they would also affix the brand logos of these chambers of commerce on them.
To put it simply, these chambers of commerce moved their equipment production lines here, and then formed a large household magic machinery assembly factory, which can produce a large number of household magic machines at the same time.
The first benefit of this plan is that every household magic machine can be quickly assembled here, so that the magic machines in the Lampari Kingdom can easily enter the market of the Maro Empire.
The second advantage is that they only need to assemble here, so they only need to ship the corresponding parts from the Lampari Kingdom, so when crossing the border of Guò, the customs duties will be much less than the entire household magic machine. This can lead to significant cost savings.
As for the various household magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
Xu is not worried about this, because the current quality and performance of Xinfei's household magic machinery are still far above those of other brands of household magic machines. There is no need to worry about being robbed of the high-end market that should belong to them.
What's more, he has signed supply agreements with more than a dozen nobles of the Marlo Empire, including the Marquis of Southgate, involving more than 300,000 units of various new flying brand household magic machines, with a total amount of more than one million gold coins, which is far from being comparable to the profits of this unformed equipment factory.
The Marquis of Southgate came with Xu Yi this time, in fact, he hoped that Xu Yi could directly build a household magic machinery factory belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on his private territory.
Because the various new flying brand household magic machines he ordered from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were very popular among the aristocratic circles of the Maro Empire, allowing him to earn 130,000 gold coins in one go.
The Marquis of Southgate knew very well that Xu Yi had come to the Marlo Empire, so the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not always let him make purchases, so he instead hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be able to build a factory on his private territory.
Because according to the relevant tax rate laws of the Maro Empire, all properties in the private domain of the nobles need to pay taxes to the nobles to which they belong.
If the new flying chamber of commerce were to set up a factory here, it would certainly provide a large amount of tax for the Marquis of Southgate.
"Look, President Xu, if you build a factory here, the Empire will not levy additional taxes on you, and I, as a lord, can guarantee that you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only levy the lowest tax rate, what do you think?" Marquis of Southgate pointed to the large open space in front of him, and said to Xu Yi with a full of temptation.
Xu Yi smiled and was noncommittal.
Of course, he knew very well what Marquis Southgate was thinking, and he also agreed with what Marquis Southgate had just said, that building a factory here could save a large part of taxes.
But there was one factor that made him worried.
If a factory is built here, it will inevitably make the connection between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Southgate extremely close.
This is a good thing for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who wants to enter the Maro Empire at the beginning, but for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not necessarily a good thing.
The reason is simple, the Marquis of Southgate's private domain is still too small after all. (To be continued......)
