Chapter 113: Buying and Selling Things
The dinner on the Sainz continent is somewhat different from the meal in the Celestial Empire on Earth, and you will never talk about serious things until you finish eating.
So after a lot of staggering, after the wine and food were full, the dessert was served after the meal, everyone took a sip of tea, and Reeves stepped into the main topic.
"President Xu, let Haynas invite you over for this meal today, the first is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the past year, I really want to meet with President Xu again to see if you have changed much compared to a year ago, and the second is that my two friends just have something to ask President Xu for help. ”
Newman, who came from the Ruerson Kingdom, immediately nodded and smiled: "That's right, this is what I specifically asked Reeves to see President Xu, otherwise, I really don't know how to meet you." ”
"I'm the same, I've come from the Principality this time to make a special trip to see President Xu. Ankru from the Duchy of Stantin also nodded.
Xu Yi glanced at Henas a little strangely, but saw that he shrugged his shoulders to himself, clearly not knowing the authenticity of this meal, so he turned his head, his eyes swept over the faces of the two, and smiled: "The two of you are too polite." Just don't know what I can do to help you?"
The two glanced at each other, and Newman spoke first, "That's right, President Xu." I heard that your Lampari Kingdom started to promote the farmland magic machinery produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year, and then this year's autumn harvest was a bumper harvest, and the grain production in the kingdom is much higher than in previous years, is that the case?"
"Uh...... I don't know the exact number, so it's hard to say if it's much higher, but I guess it's about the same. Xu Yi replied uncertainly.
Of course he was lying.
In fact, it was not long after the end of the autumn harvest in Bangta City. He had already received the good news from the Earl of Satsuma, according to the statistics of the Department of Agriculture. In this year's autumn harvest, the total amount of grain harvested by the Lampari Kingdom has reached nearly three times that of previous years!
Xu Yi came to Anweimar City this time. Another very important thing is to attend the celebration banquet held by His Majesty the King especially for this great harvest.
According to Sevigny's spoiler in advance, Xu Yi was judged by His Majesty the King as the greatest contributor to the Lampari Kingdom being able to obtain this bumper harvest, so he would be awarded a special reward at the banquet.
Of course, these things don't need to be revealed in front of these two foreigners.
Before he knew the true purpose of the place, he would of course choose to answer vaguely.
Newman didn't pay much attention to Xu Yi's answer, and it could be seen that he obviously had very specific information.
"President Xu, I don't think anyone can deny the powerful role played by the farmland magic machinery produced by your Chamber of Commerce, so I'm asking you now. I wonder if your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has any ideas of selling these farmland magic machines to other countries?" Newman asked again.
Xu Yiyi was stunned: "Mr. Newman, what do you mean...... Do you want to buy a farm magic machine?"
Newman nodded, "Yes." We have even more barren farmland in the Kingdom of Luxon than in your Kingdom of Lampari, so I think that if we can buy enough Farmland Magic Machinery from your Chamber of Commerce, the food production in our Kingdom of Luxon will definitely increase significantly. ”
"Although from a businessman's point of view, I certainly want my chamber of commerce to produce as many goods as possible. But Mr. Newman, with all due respect, the Farmland Magic Machinery is now in the interest of His Majesty the King of our kingdom of Lampari, and I am afraid that I will not be able to decide to sell it to you without my own permission. Xu Yi said a little helplessly.
Newman laughed: "I think President Xu should not worry about this. Because Mr. Reeves is willing to bring me to you. Then your honorable king will surely agree to this matter. ”
"Really?" Xu Yi looked at Reeves in confusion.
Does this Reeves have that much energy?
Reeves nodded lightly to Xu Yi: "President Xu, you don't have to worry about this. ”
Xu is not worried, it is strange, this farmland magic machine can even be regarded as a strategic material of the Lampari Kingdom now, under normal circumstances. His Majesty the King would not allow it to be exported abroad at all.
However, Reeves made it clear that he refused to reveal the truth, and Xu Yi had to look at Henas who had been a stuffy gourd on the side.
Hainas immediately nodded at Xu Yi: "Don't worry, since Uncle Reeves has said it." Then you don't have to worry. ”
"This guy is not reliable......" Xu Yi muttered in his heart, looking at Newman again. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Newman, as long as His Majesty the King agrees." I think I'd be happy to make this deal with you. But before that, I'd like to ask, how many Farmland Magic Machines are you going to buy?"
Newman stretched out a finger: "I plan to buy 10,000 units of each farmland magic machine, and if the effect is satisfactory, maybe I will place additional orders in the future." ”
"10,000 units of each?" Xu Yi was taken aback.
At present, there are a total of six kinds of farmland magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and if this Newman buys 10,000 units of each of them, according to the current selling price, this order will add up to more than four million gold coins!
And according to the terrifying profit margin of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the farmland magic machinery, on this order alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may obtain a terrifying profit of close to three million gold coins!
"What? President Xu, do you have any questions?" Newman asked seeing Xu Yi's face change slightly.
Xu Yi took a sip of the teacup on the table, tried to calm down the excitement in his heart, and then said, "Mr. Newman, I'm curious about your identity. ”
Newman and Reeves glanced at each other and smiled, "It seems that President Xu has doubts about whether I can pay the amount of this order?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, since you were invited by Mr. Reeves, of course I will not doubt your ability to pay." It's just that I think it's very strange, if Mr. Newman, you are just an ordinary businessman, why would you think of buying so many farmland magic machines? Even if you want to take it back to the Ruerson Kingdom and resell it, I don't think there will be much profit because of the transportation problem. ”
Newman suddenly burst out laughing: "President Xu, if I say that I am not here to make money at all, do you believe it?"
Xu Yi looked at him and made it clear that he didn't believe it.
"Well, it seems that if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain your trust from President Xu. Well...... As for my identity, I am the president of the Ruerson Chamber of Commerce in the Ruerson Kingdom, and in fact, I am a director who specializes in doing some business for the royal family of the kingdom, just like Mr. Reeves. Now, President Xu, do you understand what I mean?"
Hsu immediately noticed that Newman said that he was similar to Reeves.
This also means that Reeves is actually the royal comprador of the Lampari Kingdom?
No wonder Reeves and Haynas both let Xu Yi not have to worry about the king's disagreement with him to sell the farmland magic machinery, and today's meeting was simply carried out by Reeves at the behest of the king.
Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head, since this is the case, why didn't anyone notify him in advance and prepare himself mentally in advance?
"President Xu, in fact, I don't want to reveal my identity if it is not necessary, so please forgive me. Reeves bowed slightly to Xu Yi and said apologetically.
Xu Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Mr. Reeves, you don't have to apologize." But now that you and Mr. Newman are identified, it's much easier to say. Okay, this order can be made on behalf of the new flying chamber next. ”
Newman immediately picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into Xu Yihe's own wine glass, and the two raised their wine glasses and touched them gently.
"President Xu, I hope we have a happy cooperation. ”
"Hope it's a pleasure to work with. ”
After Newman and Xu Yi reached a preliminary agreement, it was naturally Ankru's turn next.
Xu Yi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, looked at Ankru and asked, "Mr. Ankru, are you, like Mr. Newman, interested in our Chamber of Commerce's farmland magic machinery?"
Ankru shook his head: "No, I'm not like him, he's here to buy things, and I'm here to sell things." ”
"Selling something?" Xu Yi was stunned. "Do you have anything to sell me?"
"President Xu, you should ask us what the Duchy of Stantin has to sell you. ”
Hearing the meaning of Anklu's words, Xu Yi's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "Then may I ask Mr. Ankru, what do you want to sell me in your Duchy of Stantin?"
Ankro smiled slightly: "I heard that President Xu has always been very interested in buying various mines, so how about we sell you two iron mines and a copper mine first?"
"Two iron mines, one copper mine?" Xu Yi looked straight at Ankru in disbelief. "Mr. Ankru, you're not kidding, are you?"
"I'm certainly not kidding. Ankru shook his head. "President Xu, I didn't come to Mr. Reeves to meet with you this time, but I didn't want to joke with you. How about it? On behalf of the Grand Duke of Stantin, I would like to invite you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to mine two iron mines and one copper mine personally selected by the Grand Duke of Constantine?"
Xu Yi swallowed with difficulty: "Mr. Ankru, is this really what Archduke Stanting meant? I can understand the two iron mines, why would Archduke Stantin choose to sell us a copper mine as well?"
"Quite simply, it's useless to stay there, so the Grand Duke decided that it would be better to exchange them for something we need. Ankro replied.
Xu Yi immediately heard the hidden meaning of Ankru's words.
"So...... Archduke Stantin didn't want me to pay in gold, but I don't know what the Grand Duke needs?"
"President Xu, let's not discuss these things here, right?" Ankru's gaze swept over Reeves, Newman, and Henas next to him, and Zhengse asked Xu Yi, "I just want to ask President Xu, now that the Grand Duke wants to sell it, do you want to buy it?"
Xu Yi sat up straight, his expression became stern, and he nodded slowly.
"I want to buy it very much!" (To be continued......)
