Chapter 67 Cooperation spanning more than 5,000 kilometers
As it turned out, Gaza was completely overdone.
What Xu also hoped to gain from the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm was not only something they could fully afford, but even ...... President Gaza felt so simplistic that he wondered if he had misheard.
Because Xu Yi just hoped to obtain some mineral and magic material resources needed by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm.
These minerals and magical materials that Xu Yi proposed are very ordinary things, although they are not as ubiquitous as magic crystals, and they are not worth anything at all, but they are not a special scarce resource in the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and they can be traded.
In the exchange of these resources, Xu Yi promised Gaza that he could provide the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce with some of the manufacturing technology of household magic machines, so that they could also master the methods of making these household magic machines.
In order to ensure that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can continue to take root in the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, which is 5,000 kilometers away, it plans to build a cement processing plant and invest in the construction of a small steelmaking plant, which is guaranteed to help the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom establish a preliminary magical industrial system.
In addition, due to the geographical constraints of the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, there is very little land available for cultivation in the country, so the food problem has always been extremely troublesome to them, Xu Yi agreed to take the initiative to send a large amount of grain from the Duchy of Stantin to help them solve this most important problem.
Prior to this, the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom had largely imported food from the neighbouring Candela Empire to meet its most basic needs.
But the Candela Empire was extremely expensive for grain exports, taking wheat as an example. The lowest price is thirty-four gold coins per ton. At its peak, it rose to as much as thirty-eight gold coins.
Although the Northdorm Commercial Union is united by thirteen chambers of commerce. A great deal of money was made through other sources of commerce, as well as through some of the special resources of the Nozdorm commercial kingdom itself, such as scarce woods, flowers, and herbs and plants and herbs that were native to the marshes, but the expenditure on food imports alone amounted to 1,370,000 gold coins last year alone, or more than a quarter of the overall support of the kingdom as a whole.
According to the preliminary agreement reached between Xu Yi and Gaza, the various grains shipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Duchy of Stantin were slightly lower than those of the Kandela Empire.
Taking wheat as an example, the price given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only 28 gold coins per ton, which was as much as six gold coins lower than the price from the Candela Empire.
Add to that the fact that other types of food are also priced lower, if you do the math. If the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom were to import grain from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it would have been able to spend at least 300,000 gold coins a year.
Without much consideration, Gaza immediately agreed to the cooperation with Xu Yi.
But he was very puzzled, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was transporting grain from the Duchy of Stantin, which was more than 5,000 kilometers away, and the price was much lower than that of the neighboring Candela Empire.
However, Xu Yi did not explain the reason to Gaza, but only assured Gaza that there would be no problems with the grain shipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it would definitely be able to withstand the various tests of the United Kingdom of Nozdorm Commerce.
Gaza has some skepticism. But it's inconvenient to say more.
In any case, cooperation on food is only a less important part of the cooperation between the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If there is really no problem with the food that the new flying chamber of commerce has shipped, the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom will be able to spend a lot of money on it. It's all a good thing.
Besides, there is no need for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to lie to him about this kind of thing, it will not benefit anyone.
Gaza believes that Xu Yi would never do such a brainless thing.
Xu Yi's meeting with Gaza can only be regarded as a very preliminary contact.
The most pressing issue facing Gaza, or indeed the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdom, is really only one, and that is to build a deep-water port that meets the requirements.
Otherwise, the large cargo magic ship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will not be able to dock, and it will be difficult for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to really get in touch with the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and the follow-up cooperation will naturally not be able to be carried out.
As for the construction of a road from the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm to the Kingdom of Rulson that would eventually be integrated into the road network of the Kingdom of Rourson, and thus obtain a direct connection with the Duchy of Stantin, this idea is at least impossible to achieve at the very least, and can only be put on hold for the time being.
After the talks, Xu was invited by Gaza to conduct a week-long study tour in the Nozdorm United Kingdom of Commerce.
The area of the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom is actually slightly larger than that of the Duchy of Statein, not as large as the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Ruerson, and it is also a small country in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent, so it is much easier to make a preliminary investigation.
Xu Yi came for the first time, and it was indeed not an in-depth investigation, but only a week in the magic airship, a general circle around the sky over the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, and a basic understanding of the environment of the entire Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom.
After the inspection, Xu Yixin's evaluation of the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom has improved slightly.
This part of the improvement does not come from the geographical environment of the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, on the contrary, after personally visiting here and seeing the swamps and rainforests that can be seen almost everywhere in the Norddorm Commercial United Kingdom, Xu Yi's evaluation of this aspect is lower.
The reason for the slight improvement in the overall evaluation of the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom is from the thirteen chambers of commerce that control the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom, represented by the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce.
Although these thirteen chambers of commerce controlled the overall situation of the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom, they were closer to merchants after all, which made it extremely easy for Xu Yi to communicate with them, and he did not need to have as much trouble as he did with the noble ministers of the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruerson Kingdom.
Both sides were extremely pragmatic in discussing cooperation matters, with little nonsense and high efficiency, and many details of cooperation were decided in just one week.
And in just a few days, the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce worked with three other chambers of commerce to finalize the location of a deep-water port, and at the same time prepared the initial construction materials and corresponding manpower.
Such efficiency even made Xu Yi feel breathtaking.
Of course, because the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom does not currently own cement, concrete, steel and other materials, nor does it have the construction engineering technology of the Amritra Chamber of Commerce, it can only build a traditional port on the Sainz continent at most, and cannot build a port as strong enough as the port of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Duchy of Statine and the outer side of the Black Rice Wasteland.
Xu Yi didn't care much about this, anyway, as long as he could dock the large cargo magic ship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
As for the rest of the matter, you can think about it slowly.
A week passed quickly, and Xu Yi finally ended his short-term visit to the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm.
When the magic airship carried Xu Yi and the new flying merchants into the air, and soon turned the group of representatives of the Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom who were sending off below into a bunch of small black dots on the ground, Evita beside Xu Yi suddenly frowned slightly, glanced at Xu Yi, and stopped talking.
"What, if you have anything to say, just say it, why hold it back. Xu Yi said with a smile.
Evita was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Elder, I've always wondered why you have to cooperate with the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom? Even on a magical airship, it takes days to make a round trip. And if you use a large cargo magic ship to transport it, it will probably take at least a month to make a round trip at sea. I don't think it's a good distance for cooperation, it's too inconvenient. ”
"Well, I also think it's too far, and it's really inconvenient. Xu Yi nodded.
Evita was stunned: "Then why are you ......?"
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Because I want to open up more markets." Don't you think that if our chamber of commerce only stays on these small countries around it, the prospects are not broad?"
Evita's brow furrowed even deeper.
"But if it's to open up the market, I think the Candela Empire is a better choice. And didn't you plan to do that a long time ago? Why did you give up now?"
"Who said I gave up?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically. "There is no contradiction between the consideration of investing in the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm and the development of the market of the Candela Empire, and it can be done at the same time. ”
"But last time, you let the convoy attack the Candela Empire's sea fleet, didn't you completely offend the Candela Empire? ”
Xu Yi shrugged: "It's nothing, it's just a signal to the Candela Empire." ”
"Signal?" Evita looked confused. "What signal?
Xu Yi smiled and did not answer.
What signal?
Of course, it's to tell the Candela Empire, look, your fleet is already so backward that it is completely vulnerable in front of the newly developed magic warships of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If the Candela Empire is smart enough, of course, it can smell the message that Xu Yi wants to convey from this skirmish.
So what they should do next, what they will do, is obvious.
Xu Yi smiled and looked through the window of the magic airship in the direction of the Candela Empire in the northwest, with a hint of anticipation in his heart.
This large and ancient empire should give a satisfactory response. (To be continued......)
