While Director Nar was worried about the decision of the Duchy of Norton here, Xu Yi, who was two thousand kilometers away, had just taken his eyes away from the Duchy of Norton on the map, and his expression was relaxed.

Although he was disappointed that the Duchy of Norton had given up on working with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he didn't think it was a big deal.

The development process of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot always be smooth sailing, and according to Xu Yi's own ideas, it is always necessary to leave a certain amount of room for the development of other magic machinery chambers of commerce.

The Principality of Norton took the initiative to choose the cooperation of the Anke Magic Chamber of Commerce, which did not go against his original wishes, but even made him feel more gratified.

His gaze continued to wander over the map, and after a brief pause on the Duchy of Mirando, he stopped down at the location of the Kingdom of Ruersun.

Looking at the dozen or so small black dots marked on the map, Xu Yi touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Luersun has always been very smooth.

With the strong support of King Trutz, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been able to obtain approval smoothly, whether it is a direct investment in the Ruerson Kingdom to set up a factory or a joint venture with the local Chamber of Commerce, and has never encountered official obstacles.

Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is blooming everywhere in the Kingdom of Luxun, and all kinds of New Flying Brand Magic Machinery are sold everywhere.

Only nine months have passed this year, and the combined income of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Ruerson Kingdom alone has reached more than five million gold coins, which is not much worse than the income of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Lampari Kingdom.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that all the new flying chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom are joint venture factories, and the interests need to be divided between the Lampari Kingdom.

However, under such a large cooperative form shì. But there is a problem that has been bothering Xu Yi.

Any cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Ruerson will be strongly supported by King Trutz. But only on one cooperation. But there is always no satisfactory result for Xu Yi, that is, in the transaction of mineral resources.

The territory that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can fully grasp now is only the Duchy of Stantin.

However, the Duchy of Stantin is not large in size after all, and its mineral resources are limited.

With the increasing scale of production of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the faster expansion of the demand for magic machinery from the outside world, it is obvious that the mineral resources of the Duchy of Stanting will soon be unable to keep up with the consumption of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, Xu Yi has been purchasing a large number of various mineral resources from other surrounding countries.

Among them, the Lampari Kingdom is the party that provides the most mineral resources to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Just last month. According to statistics, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce purchased 730,000 tons of iron ore and 480,000 tons of other non-ferrous metal ores from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

The land area of the Ruerson Kingdom and the Lampari Kingdom is almost the same, and the mineral resources are even slightly better than the exploration, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only bought only 160,000 tons of iron ore from the Ruerson Kingdom last month, and as for the non-ferrous metal ore, it only bought a pitiful less than 10,000 tons.

Xu Yi has mentioned this matter to King Trutz many times, hoping to increase the share of various ores sold by the Ruerson Kingdom, but King Trutz has always dealt with it vaguely, and has never given Xu Yi a satisfactory answer.

He even claimed to be able to open one or two steel mills and non-ferrous metal smelters directly in the Ruerson Kingdom for local mining. It is smelted locally and only processed and sold within the Kingdom of Ruerson. Still failed to impress King Trutz.

After many attempts to no avail, Xu also had to give up helplessly and find a way from other channels.

Previously, Neval led the new fleet to Nissi, trying to buy all kinds of minerals through Guò private channels, which is why for this reason.

However, after the last discussion with Elder Wentini, the cooperation between the Guò and the Aishara tribe, King Trutz is very likely to relax in this regard, which makes Xu Yi feel a lot more relaxed.

But in the final analysis, if the new flying chamber wants to continue to develop, it is the most important thing to have more resources in its own hands.

Always hoping to obtain mineral resources from other countries, it is inevitable that you will feel that your lifeblood is grasped by others.

Xu Yi didn't like this feeling, so he kept looking for a solution.

After his gaze lingered on the kingdom of Ruersun for a moment, he turned to the north, directly passing the kingdom of Lampari, but stayed at the position of the kingdom of Sark.

Looking at the area of the Shack Kingdom on the map, which was at least one-third larger than the Lampari Kingdom, and then looking at the dozens of black dots marked on it, Xu Yi's eyes couldn't help but become hot.

It is almost impossible to cooperate with the Kingdom of Sark, so if you want to obtain a large amount of resources in the Kingdom of Sark, except for a small amount of purchase through private channels, there is only one way left, and that is to completely conquer the country.

As for how to conquer completely...... But you have to think about it......

"Tuk-tuk—"

A slight knock on the door pulled Xu Yi back from his contemplation.

"Is it Betty? Xu Yi raised his voice.

The door opened, and Betty, who was dressed in a standard maid's attire, walked in slowly, and first gave Xu Yi a standard courtesy, and then said softly: "Elder, there are guests who ask to see you." ”

"Oh, what guest, did he say who he was?" Xu Yi asked with a smile as his gaze swept over Betty's maid suit.

When Betty and Carol arrived, they saw that Liz and Linda were both pregnant and had limited mobility, and that Xu Yi and Steele were reluctant to recruit more servants, so they automatically took on the duties of maids.

As they have undergone rigorous training in the Lampari Palace, they are extremely skilled in this area.

So they have only been here for more than two months, and they have already put the entire manor up and down in order, which has been praised by everyone.

However, out of a trace of guilt and concern in his heart, Xu Yi has never given them a clear identity like Lisi and Linda.

Betty and Carol did not complain about this, on the contrary, they seemed very happy every day, and repeatedly said that it was much easier to stay here than in the palace.

He called himself Leslie Stark. Also said...... He also said that he would let the elders go to see him as much as possible. He didn't have much time. ”

When Betty said this. The expression is a little strange.

I have been here for more than two months, and I have received many guests who have come to visit Xu Yi, but no matter what guest asks to meet, he is extremely polite, and no guest has ever been so arrogant.

However, Xu Yi didn't look a little surprised, but smiled and said, "It's him." I'll just say, when I heard the news of our fleet's arrival in Nissi, he should have appeared a long time ago. ”

Betty curiously followed behind Xu Yi. Leaving the study and heading to the living room, I saw again a young man in his thirties who was sitting on a chair with a lazy appearance, as if he did not regard himself as a guest at all.

"Hey, Leslie, why are you so dark?" Xu Yi glanced up and down at Leslie, and couldn't help but laugh. "You used to be a standard little white face, but now you have suddenly turned into black charcoal, and those noble ladies and ladies can see it. Wouldn't you be very disappointed?"

Her skin had turned a healthy tan, and Leslie laughed, completely different from the pale that had previously characterized aristocratic children.

"I told you a long time ago. Those aristocratic ladies and ladies are mainly looking at faces. Believe it or not, even if I became like this, and let them see it, they would scream in horror?"

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I believe it." Okay, without talking this nonsense, tell me, where have you been all this time? Look at you like this, if I'm not mistaken, you should have gone to sea?"

"You're not mistaken. Leslie laughed. "I've been wandering the sea for most of the year, and that's why it's so dark. ”

Xu Yi glanced at Leslie with a strange expression.

"Hey, you don't really want to run away and be a pirate, do you?"

"There's nothing wrong with being a pirate. Leslie shrugged her shoulders and then extended her hand to Xu Yi. "Okay, what about the ship you promised me? I heard that the fleet organized by your new merchant sailed more than 2,000 kilometers on the sea, and successfully reached the Kingdom of Ruusson from the Duchy of Stantin. Now that you have this technology, it shouldn't be a problem to give me the boat you promised me, right?"

Xu Yi looked down at Leslie's outstretched hand, stretched out a finger and tapped it.

"The ship is fine, but what about your money? A large magic steamer that can drive from here to the Ruerson Kingdom costs more than two million gold coins, and our Chamber of Commerce has only built three of them so far. Are you sure you can come up with two million gold coins?"

"Two million gold coins?" Leslie was stunned. "Hey, Xu Yi, are you scaring me? It's just a boat, it's so expensive?"

Xu Yi smiled: "It seems that you haven't seen those three ships with your own eyes, no wonder you ask this question." I promise that if you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question again. ”

Leslie frowned, and instead of getting angry, he was silent for a moment, spread his hands, and said calmly: "Okay, it's really impossible for me to take out so many two million gold coins in one go." But Xu Yi, since you can build a big ship, you must be able to build a smaller ship as well, right......? I need to be bigger than a magic assault boat...... It's good to be four or five times bigger, and I think it's enough for me to rampage on the sea. ”

Xu Yi shook his head slowly: "No, Leslie." The appearance of the large magic steamer of our new flying chamber of commerce means that the era of being able to run rampant on the sea with just a few broken wooden ships is over. I sincerely advise you that it is better to use a big ship directly, because only a big ship can make you safer at sea. ”

Leslie frowned: "I said, Xu Yi, are you deliberately angry with me? I obviously can't come up with so much money, but you have to recommend me a big ship that I can't afford." Actually, you can't make it for the time being, so you're deliberately shirking it, right?"

"Not really. I have the boat, and if you don't have enough money, I can give it to you. But ......."

"What are you doing, you want to use me?" Seeing the slightly weird smile on Xu Yi's face, Leslie smiled, slowed down, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and said to Xu Yi for a long time: "Okay." I can be used by you, but it depends on what kind of price you offer. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What do you say, it's so ugly. It's cooperation, cooperation, you know?"

Leslie scoffed, "Okay, does that make a difference?

Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at Betty who was standing on the side.

Betty immediately understood, bowed to the two, and withdrew.

Seeing Xu Yi being so solemn, Leslie put away her relaxed expression, sat up straight, and looked at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Leslie, I don't object to you wanting to be a pirate, but if you run to be a pirate without any foundation, you are simply sending you to death." ”

"And then? What do you think?"

Xu Yi smiled, revealing a seductive smile.

"Actually, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is about to form an armed fleet, are you interested?" (To be continued......)
