Chapter 97: The Most Powerful Chamber of Commerce

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's plan to open the Candela Empire's market has always gone unsmoothly for various reasons.

Although the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become very popular in Wimbledon, and Ambassador Hakanin orders more and more goods from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every time, this is not a normal trade model, nor is it the model that Xu Yi hopes, because the speed of opening up the market is really a bit slow.

However, before the production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was greatly increased, Xu Yi was not very anxious about this.

And although the progress of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in opening the market of the Candela Empire is relatively slow, the progress of opening the markets of other countries is very fast and very smooth.

Now the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to being sold in the countries around the Duchy of Stantin, has also traveled all the way north, crossed the Duchy of Drake, entered the Kingdom of Falk, and quickly became popular in the Kingdom of Falk.

The Kingdom of Falk is a country whose territory and population are even better than the Kingdom of Lampari, and it will take a lot of effort for the New Flying Chamber to completely occupy and digest this market.

In comparison, if you only consider it from the perspective of the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, the current policy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should focus on the Falke Kingdom.

What's more, the Falk Kingdom is located in the center of the Sainz continent, bordering the Kandela Empire to the east and the Maro Empire to the north, so the geographical location is quite important.

If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can open up the situation in the Falk Kingdom, when the time is ripe, it can even find a chance to enter the Maro Empire.

If the market of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire can be opened at the same time, then it can be said that the magic machine can be truly extended to the entire continent.

Of course. This idea is for the current new flying chamber of commerce. It's just too far away.

The production capacity of the new flying chamber has not been able to make a leap. So now, even if the market of the entire continent is open to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to completely occupy it.

With this in mind, Hui has also begun to gradually change the development strategy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Prior to this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly sold all kinds of magic machinery produced by itself directly to other countries, so as to directly earn profits.

The establishment of a joint venture with other countries is only a supplement to meet the needs of other countries for mastering magic machinery technology.

Now realizing that the production capacity of the new flying chamber of commerce is difficult to meet the rapid growth of the market, Xu Yi began to change this approach.

The factories of the various New Flying Chambers in the Principality of Stantin and the Black Rice Wasteland are still fully operational. And vigorously increase production capacity, but at the same time, the new flying chamber of commerce began to vigorously support the establishment of joint ventures with other countries.

Only a small part of these joint venture factories are fully controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the remaining vast majority are only provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide technical support, and the site, personnel and management rights of the factories are owned by the cooperative chambers of commerce in other countries.

For these countries, of course, they prefer this cooperation model, because they can learn the corresponding magic machinery manufacturing technology from this cooperation model, and gradually try to use these technologies to make their own magic machinery.

Unlike buying technology patents directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machinery, the joint venture factory has the full technical support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the technicians of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are personally in charge. There will be certain advantages in learning and mastering technology.

In this way, over time, the magic machines produced by these joint venture factories will be closer to the new flying brand magic machines in terms of quality and performance. It is more convenient for them to catch up with the new flying chamber of commerce.

Therefore, using this cooperation model, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce easily entered the Falke Kingdom and signed several cooperation agreements with the Falke Kingdom in one go.

At the beginning of next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will jointly build five domestic magic machinery factories in the Falk Kingdom at the same time with the Falk Kingdom.

According to the plan, in the next five years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to cooperate with the Falk Kingdom to build at least ten domestic magic machinery factories in the Falk Kingdom, and also plan to jointly build a magic machine tool manufacturing workshop and three steel mills.

In Xu Yi's concept, he was planning to build the Falk Kingdom into a complete production base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, striving to produce all kinds of household magic machinery needed by himself even if he completely got rid of the dependence on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

This idea was naturally born because of the geographical location of the Falk Kingdom.

Compared to transporting household magic machinery from the Duchy of Stanting to other countries for sale, this joint venture with other countries to set up factories and produce them locally is extremely considerable.

At the same time, under this cooperation model, Xinfei will only need to provide corresponding technical personnel, and the rest of the basic workers and factory creation do not need to be invested, so a lot of manpower, material resources and energy can be saved.

Although under this cooperation model, the profits obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be reduced a lot, but because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently in the absolute leading position in the field of magic machinery, in the cooperation agreements signed by other countries and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides technical support, and the profit share obtained is not low at all.

Taking the cooperation agreements signed between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falk Kingdom at the end of the year as an example, the profit share of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these five joint venture household magic machinery factories is as low as 45% and as high as 60%.

The Kingdom of Falk is a country larger than the Kingdom of Lampari, and its national strength has always been much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Lampari, and the living conditions of the people are richer, and the internal market is naturally larger than that of the Kingdom of Lampari.

Therefore, even though it is only a profit share, once the market of the Falk Kingdom is fully opened, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will still be able to make extremely large profits from it.

So when making a profit forecast for the coming year, Sebas, the treasurer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, made an extremely bold calculation.

40 million gold coins!

This is Sebas's full-year profit assessment budget for next year's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Such a huge number can be said to be quite staggering.

It can even be said that if the new flying company will be able to achieve such huge profits in the coming year. Then it will surpass the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. Become the most profitable chamber of commerce in the surrounding countries!

And even if next year passes. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only been in the city for seven years.

In such a short period of time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the most profitable chamber of commerce in neighboring countries, and it has to be said that the speed of development is like a miracle.

However, at the year-end summary report meeting held within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one questioned the number proposed by Sebas.

Because...... This year alone, the annual profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has reached an astonishing 33 million gold coins!

Compared to the annual profit of 26 million gold coins at the end of last year, this year's annual profit has increased by 7 million gold coins!

Since it is possible to increase the profit of 7 million gold coins this year, then the market development of the Falk Kingdom will be added in the coming year, and a series of other corresponding measures. Everyone believes that the profit growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the coming year will definitely exceed seven million gold coins, so there is no problem with the annual profit of more than forty million gold coins.

However, when everyone was excited about this number, Xu Yi poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

That's right, the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely increase significantly in the coming year, but correspondingly, the capital investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the coming year will also increase significantly.

According to Xu Yi's plan, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase its investment in the Magic Research Institute in the new year, increasing the annual research funding from 5 million gold coins this year to 8 million gold coins.

At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase its investment in the escort force. Aim to increase the number of convoys to more than 10,000 in the coming year.

The equipment level of the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is far superior to that of the armies of all the surrounding countries, so it is only this plan. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce will increase its investment in the escort team by at least 3 million gold coins in the coming year.

In terms of sea, the investment of the new flying chamber of commerce will be accelerated.

With the construction of several island bases, according to the financial budget made by Sebas, starting next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will invest up to a minimum of four million gold coins in these sea bases every year, and it will increase year by year.

However, compared to the pure spending of money by the Magic Research Institute and the Guardian Team, once the follow-up development plan of these island bases is implemented, it can bring a lot of practical benefits to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so as long as it is done well, it will not cost much money, and it will make money in the end.

Of course, don't count on the upfront investment.

According to the plan, at least in the first three years, the new flying chamber of commerce will only invest in this area, and it is difficult to see specific returns.

However, Xu also values the other convenient conveniences brought by these island bases more than specific returns.

For example, with these island bases, the area where the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce's Escort Fleet and Transport Fleet can operate will be greatly increased, making it easier for the New Flyer Chamber to further explore other markets through the Endless Sea.

For example, the ship market......

Leslie was not surprised to get the news that Remito Russell was interested in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's frigate.

He was sure that anyone who, having seen for himself the formidable power of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's frigates, would have to admit that the primitive wooden sea ships were completely outdated.

As long as the Candela Imperial Navy is not all idiots, it is bound to be interested in frigates.

Previously, Xu Yi asked Leslie to deliberately act in front of the Candela Imperial Navy, in order to get their attention.

Now Russell, who is the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Imperial Naval Staff, has expressed such a will, which means that Xu Yi's goal has finally been achieved.

A few days after Leslie's letter arrived in Xu Yi's hand, Ambassador Hakanin came to the Duchy of Stantin again, and in addition to coming to buy again, he also brought a letter from Russell.

In this letter, Russell clearly expressed the interest of the Candela Imperial Navy in the frigates produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but questioned Leslie's claim that the price of two million gold coins for a frigate was too high to accept, and hoped that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would make concessions.

Xu also replied with a letter expressing the position of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi's tone in the letter was very polite, and he said a lot of things freely, but only one meaning was revealed between the lines.

No way. (To be continued......)
