Chapter 65: Taxi
After listening to Krush's account, Merkadu immediately gave up the idea of looking for a job in the Sanchiton Industrial Zone, and instead turned around and went to the Falling Rain Valley, intending to sign up directly with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to take the driver's license test.
After experiencing the speed and comfort of the medium-sized magic bus, Mercado was sure that this thing would completely replace the horse-drawn carriage in the future, and become a common means of transportation in the kingdom of Lampari and even on the continent of Sainz.
Then the driver's license will definitely become a necessity in the future, and if you pass the guò test in advance, it means that you have a very big advantage over others.
However, when Mercado happily took the new magic locomotive bus route from Bonta City to Falling Rain Valley recommended by Krush, he was ruthlessly rejected by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"I'm sorry, we don't open the driver's license test for the time being, if you want to apply, please be patient and wait for the next notice from our Chamber of Commerce. "The receptionist of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is young and beautiful, and her voice is also very good, but hearing Mekado's ears makes him extremely dissatisfied.
"Why?" Mekado angrily slapped the table in front of him. "This magic locomotive was obviously produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the driver's license is also required by you to be assessed, but now you are suing me that I am not open to the driver's license test? Are you playing tricks on me? If you say so, does it mean that if I also go to buy a magic locomotive, but because I have not taken the driver's license, I will buy it for nothing? Because I can't drive it at all! Sue me, how can you do such a business!"
Merkadu's suddenly raised voice echoed in the reception hall of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
The receptionist's face was slightly red, and she quickly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry." This gentleman. I didn't mean that. It's just a rule for our Chamber of Commerce. And...... And our Chamber of Commerce is not currently ready to sell the magic locomotive to private individuals......"
"Not going to sell it privately?" Merkado's eyes widened again. "Who are you going to sell it to? Is it only to Filson's car and horse dealers? Aren't we ordinary people qualified to buy it?"
Seeing Mekado's fierce look, the receptionist's face turned red, and she was so anxious that she just shook her head, but she couldn't say a word.
Although she has been a receptionist for a while, as long as she is a guest who comes here before, who is not in awe of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is extremely polite when talking to her, how can she have such a bad attitude like Merkado. It made her extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that the receptionist lady had nothing to say, Merkadu became even more angry.
After spending more than half a year at home because of his unemployment, Merkadu was under great pressure, and now he finally thought of a chance to get a better job by taking a driver's license, but he was told that he was not allowed to take the driver's license test, which immediately aroused the anger he had received for most of the year.
"Let me tell you, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is discriminating against us ordinary people by not letting me take the driver's license test, and I want to sue ......"
As soon as Merkado said a word, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. Suddenly waved his hand irritably.
"Get out of here!"
Yet the man tapped him on the shoulder again.
Merkado's anger welled up, and he didn't care anymore. Turning around is a punch.
However, this punch seemed to hit a soft but solid wall, canceling out the power of his fist.
Merkadu looked at the whirlwind wrapped around his right fist in amazement, raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, and was suddenly startled, and instantly seemed to be a basin of cold water poured from his head, his legs were weak, and he actually sat down directly on the ground.
Xu Yi shook his head, waved his hand to several chamber of commerce guards who came over, stopped them from approaching, and then reached out and dragged Merkadu up from the ground, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, no matter what opinions you have about our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I don't think you need to yell at a young girl, right? Anger will not solve any problems, if you have an opinion, you can put it forward calmly, if we can solve it for you, I think we will be very happy to help you." ”
Merkadu looked at Xu Yi in front of him, the anger that filled his mind just now had disappeared at all, and now there was only shame left, and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.
What a shame!
What a shame!
actually yelled at a little girl in front of so many people, and even scolded the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the territory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
What's more, it was actually seen by President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
"I ...... I...... I don't have any opinion, just ...... It's just that the situation is out of control for a while......" Merkadu didn't dare to meet Xu Yi's gaze at all, and dodged while looking back and forth from side to side, while answering intermittently. "That...... Allow...... President Xu, ...... You don't mind, I ...... I was just impulsive and didn't ...... Nothing else. ”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Everyone has this kind of time, I can understand it." But sir, I just heard that you seem to want to take the driver's license test?"
Hearing this question, Merkadu immediately thought of the purpose of his visit, and now that President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually appeared in front of him, how could he miss this great opportunity.
He didn't care about embarrassment and shame, he hurriedly looked at Xu Yi, and said expectantly: "Yes, I just took the trial bus route of Filson Carriage and Horse Dealers, and I heard from the driver that I need to get a driver's license to drive a magic locomotive, so I came to ask." Chairman Xu, why don't you open up the driver's license test? I think this magic motorcycle is very promising, and there will be many people who will need to get a driver's license in the future. ”
Xu Yi glanced at him with some surprise: "You just listened to the driver and decided to come to get a driver's license?"
"Hmm. Because I think that the magic locomotive will definitely replace all the horse-drawn carriages, then it is better to take the driver's license test one step earlier than one step later. Merkadu nodded.
Xu Yi smiled and looked at Merkadu again, thinking that this guy who was still hysterical just now was quite far-sighted.
"The opening is definitely open, but now because it is still in the preliminary preparations, there is a lot of work that cannot be completed, so it cannot be opened for the time being. Xu also explained. "If you really want to take the test, you can always pay attention to the information released by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”
Although it was the same answer, of course Merkadu didn't dare to shout at Xu Yi, so he could only say honestly, and then asked without giving up: "Then President Xu, when will this magic locomotive be sold to us ordinary people?"
Xu Yi asked with interest: "What are you going to buy a magic locomotive for?"
Merkadu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This...... I just took a ride on that medium-sized magic bus, and I thought it was so fast and comfortable to sit on, and I guess it would be more popular if it ran long-distance. So I thought...... You see, there aren't many places on the Filson bus route that can't be reached these days, and if there is a medium-sized magic bus that can take them to those places and can leave at any time, it will be very popular. ”
Xu Yi looked at Merkadu in surprise, if he understood correctly, this Merkadu actually wanted to buy himself a medium-sized magic bus as a taxi?
This guy doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, I can't imagine that his business acumen is surprisingly good, and he can be one step ahead of everyone else and think of the concept of taxis!
Seeing the strange expression on Xu Yi's face, Merkadu thought that he had said something wrong, and smiled awkwardly: "This...... President Xu, do you think my idea is ridiculous?"
"No, it's not funny at all. Xu Yi hurriedly shook his head. "I should say that I appreciate your idea. But if it's just one, it's too petty. Now, you can go to the Filson car and immediately look for President Pompeiy, and say that I introduced you. I think President Pombéry must be very interested in your ideas and will be more than happy to discuss this with you. ”
Seeing that Xu Yi actually asked for a piece of paper from the receptionist and wrote a simple letter of recommendation, Merkado was so excited that his heart seemed to explode.
President Hsu would recommend himself to President Pompeiy of Filson's Carriage and Horses! He also said that President Pomberg would be interested in his ideas!
Great! I'm Merkado too!
If you get in touch with big names like Chairman Xu and President Pompeiry, you will definitely make a fortune in the future!
Xu Yi stamped his personal seal on the letter of introduction, then handed it to Merkado, who was a little overwhelmed with excitement, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for the guards on the side to send him out, and then returned to the group of people who had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry for the delay due to a small matter. Xu Yi smiled at everyone.
"Nothing. President Ranko of the Saranc Chamber of Commerce smiled and waved his hand. "We can see President Xu's generosity through this little thing. It's really admirable that you just need to get rid of this kind of guy, but you are willing to listen to his ideas, help him with advice, and even introduce him to President Pompeiy. ”
"Not bad. Although I have always thought that President Xu is extremely generous and informal, I still did not expect that President Xu is so open-minded that even such a person is willing to talk calmly, which makes me think that I can't admire it. President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce agreed.
Even President Morgan, who has never had a good relationship with Xu Yi, nodded lightly and praised: "Indeed, I am ashamed of President Xu's mind. Presumably, it won't make a few of our old guys look too ugly for a while, right, President Xu?"
Xu Yi's eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and he sneered in his heart.
These three guys put a "generous" and "open-minded" hat on themselves in advance, don't they just want to remind themselves to make more concessions in the negotiation for a while.
However, it is a pity that the magic locomotive technology they want most now is impossible for them to let go of no matter what, and I am afraid that it can only disappoint them. (To be continued......)
