Chapter 80: Attitudes towards Competitors

There is no need to guess that there is now no one but Fillson Motors who can have as many as twenty freight magic locomotives to form a convoy to transport goods.

Since the announcement of the formation of a freight fleet consisting entirely of freight magic locomotives, Fillson Motors has almost completely taken over all the freight business in Bonta City in less than a month.

In addition to the fact that there are not many goods, there is no need to hand them over to Filson's carriage and horse dealers to deliver them, the most important reason is that he met Feliman, the president of the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland, through Guò Cantona, and he received this job by virtue of this relationship.

Of course, his offer is lower than that of Filson's car and horse dealership, which is also a very important reason.

Regardless, a newly-popped little freight merchant like Sackchi, who only owns a mere freight magic locomotive, is far from being comparable to Filson's Carriage and Horse Company.

For large quantities of goods like this fleet, only Fillson Carriage and Horse Dealers are capable of carrying them.

Sackchi watched with envy as the mighty convoy drove past not far away, slapped Batru on the shoulder who was still in a daze, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, don't look at it." Batru, you will join forces with me in the future. After a few years of hard work, we will buy another freight magic locomotive so that we can earn a little more. In the future, we will save up one by one, maybe we can also open a decent logistics chamber of commerce. ”

Batru nodded silently, glanced at the convoy in the distance, and suddenly noticed a familiar logo on the cargo that was exposed behind the butt of the last cargo magic locomotive.

"Huh, the things on this convoy seem to be from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is finally going to come to Karamay City to invest and build a factory?"

Sakchi glanced back. But he didn't have as much eyesight as Batrou. I couldn't see anything, so I thought for a while and said, "It's not unusual." Didn't the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announce at a press conference a few days ago that it would vigorously promote the development of the magic industry and prepare to invest in more places in the kingdom? They have already started to build production bases in Norton City and Canberra City, and it is not surprising that they have come to Karamay City. ”

"Well, I just don't think that's a bit too fast. This new flying chamber of commerce only built a branch factory in Kalmar City a few years ago, and now it has begun to expand outside, and it has gone to so many cities to invest and build in one go, isn't this appetite too big?"

"It's your business. Sackchi glared at him. "What is a big man like Chairman Xu thinking? How would we know. Anyway, you know he's smarter than we are, so what's the matter? With all this spare time, you might as well think about what you want to eat for a while, I'm already hungry. ”

Batru laughed, thinking that Sakchi was right, and that this was indeed not something he should be concerned about, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about these questions, and re-boarded the freight magic locomotive with Sakchi and headed for the city of Karamay in the distance.

The two of them didn't know that at this time, they were in the past fleet. In the middle of a freight magic locomotive, two people were just talking about Sakchi.

"See the freight magic locomotive parked in front of the Fit Chamber of Commerce? It must be the car called Sackchi in the village of Mexiland. President Pombéry pointed out the window to the lane of the freight magic machine in the distance.

Ankato glanced in that direction and asked with some confusion, "President Pompeiy, he must have also delivered from Bonta City, right?

"Competitors?" said President Pompery, smiling proudly and waving his hand, "He's still far away." Like this, just bought a little driver of a freight magic locomotive, what qualifies us as a competitor of our chamber of commerce. At most, it's just a bit of leftovers from our mouths to eat. ”

Ancato smiled lightly, thinking that this Pompeii president was very arrogant.

But he's right, compared to Filson, who now has hundreds of freight magic locomotives and almost monopolizes the freight business in Bangta City, this kind of small driver with only one car is certainly not qualified to be a competitor.

Glancing at the two figures in the distance again, Ankato put aside the question, glanced at the front of the road, and asked, "It should be almost there, right?"

President Pompeii glanced at it and nodded, "Well, you can see it when you turn the bend in front of you." Speaking of which, Ankato, why did Chairman Xu send you, the general manager of the household magic machinery department, this time? I don't think the goods shipped this time are all non-ferrous metal smelting equipment, and they have nothing to do with you. ”

"I asked for it myself. Ankato replied with a smile. "The main thing is to see if there is room for further expansion of the household magic machinery market here, and then I heard that there are several chambers of commerce that produce magic fans here have recently made breakthroughs in the research of magic fans, and the magic fans produced have some uniqueness, so let's learn by the way. ”

President Pombéry suddenly laughed and said, "Just kidding, you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still need to learn from other chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery? ”

"The same cannot be said. Ankato smiled and shook his head. "Although we have developed the magic fan relatively early, we can't say that we will always be ahead. For example, the Fit Chamber of Commerce you just mentioned, the magic fan they produce has a completely new idea in terms of the external structure, which makes the researchers of our Chamber of Commerce feel great, so I may have to go to the Fit Chamber of Commerce in a while. ”

Seeing that Ancato didn't seem to be joking, President Pombéry couldn't help but admire: "It's really admirable that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so far ahead of other chambers of commerce, but you are still so humble and cautious." But what are you going to do? I think you have to at least get your hands on this structure, right? It's really not good, and it's not bad to just buy the entire Fit Chamber of Commerce. ”

"No, it's okay to study, but I'm not going to do anything to the Fit Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, before coming out this time, the president specifically explained to me that he wanted to encourage and praise the Fit Chamber of Commerce and support them to continue to study these new structures. The elder even said that if the Fit Chamber of Commerce is interested, we can consider transferring them another kind of production technology for household magic machinery to help them develop rapidly. ”

"Is that really what President Xu said?" President Pombéry was stunned: "If he doesn't do anything to this Fit Chamber of Commerce, he still wants to help them develop?

Ankato shrugged: "If this Fit Chamber of Commerce is really strong enough to even pose a threat to our Chamber of Commerce, then I think the Elder will probably only be happy and not have any other thoughts." ”

President Pompeii was speechless for a moment, and then slowly shook his head and sighed, "I really can't understand President Xu more and more. He had advised me before that I couldn't do all the business with a single chamber of commerce, and that I had to leave a certain amount of room for others to develop, so I didn't interfere in the current taxi business in Bunta City, and I also let a small freight driver like Sakchi just now survive. However, for example, President Xu even wants to promote the development of his opponents...... I just can't understand it. ”

"I don't understand a lot of times what it means to be a grown. Ankato smiled. "But it doesn't matter, I just have to do what the elder says. I believe that in the eyes of an adult, he will not do anything wrong. ”

President Pombéry shook his head slightly, as if he didn't agree with Ankato's words, but he didn't say it explicitly.

After the two chatted for a while, the convoy had already driven more than ten kilometers on the road, turned the corner blocked by the big mountain that they had seen in the distance just now, and a deep valley appeared in front of them.

In this huge valley surrounded by mountains, on the left is a partially hollowed-out mine at the foot of the mountain, and in the distance you can see a series of small carts hauling colorful ore from the foot of the mountain to a huge factory on the right side of the valley that occupies almost half of the valley.

From the outside, this factory bears some resemblance to the steel mill in the Rainfall Valley, and at first glance it is known that it is used to smelt ore.

That's right, this is the non-ferrous metal mine and supporting smelting plant jointly built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

The plant began planning last year when Xu Yi met with the Duke of Joseph in Anwemar City to discuss the plan, and after eight months of preparation, it was fully completed and officially put into production last month.

Because of the experience of building a non-ferrous metal smelting plant next to the Worrall werewolf tribe, the efficiency of non-ferrous metal smelting was already very high as soon as this plant was built.

In less than 20 days in just last month, this small factory has produced 73 tons of pure copper, 32 tons of tungsten wire, 230,000 tons of lead ingots, and about 1 ton each of various non-ferrous metals of real nature.

This non-ferrous metal vein outside Karamay is extremely rich in content and variety, and the reason why the smelting of pure copper is prioritized is mainly to meet the coinage requirements of the Lampari Kingdom.

In addition to pure copper, a non-ferrous metal with a special role, most of the remaining non-ferrous metals are the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and only a small amount has been adopted by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and is ready to be used to create various appliances.

The current output of this non-ferrous metal smelting plant is actually much lower than that of the factory near the Worrall Werewolf Tribe, and for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the significance of this factory is mainly to reflect the cooperation with the Josel Chamber of Commerce and give the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a chance to enter the mining industry of the Lampari Kingdom.

Therefore, although the investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this non-ferrous smelting metal factory is very high, in addition to being responsible for production, it basically does not interfere in management.

Ankato's visit this time is just to stop by to take a look, reflecting the importance that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce attaches to here, so in fact, it is purely just a formality.

However, when Ankato entered the smelter and took a turn, he realized that his trip was worthwhile. (To be continued......)
