Chapter 59 The Problem of Transportation

Sitting in the first carriage was Liever, the deputy of the president of the Ranko Chamber of Commerce of Saranke, who had seen Xu Yi at several meetings of the business association, and when he suddenly appeared, he hurriedly stopped the carriage.

"President Xu, why do you have so much time to walk around the city today?" River was about his early forties, his face was slightly chubby, and his smile was somewhat similar to that of President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, but it looked much more intimate than President Morgan.

"No, I just discussed something with the lord of the city, and I just came out for a walk. Xu Yi then replied and looked at the carriages behind him: "It seems that you went out this time and had a good harvest, and those magic fans were sold out?"

River smiled and said, "Thanks to President Xu's Jian, our inventory of magic fans has been sold out. To tell you the truth, there is still a huge demand for magic fans in other parts of the kingdom. ”

Xu Yi nodded slightly, thinking that this was an obvious thing.

Last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was just founded, and the sale of the magic fan caused a craze in Bonta City and several surrounding cities, which is enough to prove the impact of this new magic machine on the people of Sainz.

It doesn't make sense that people in Bunta City and the surrounding cities need it, and people in the rest of the kingdom of Lampari don't need it.

However, River is right, the reason why the Saranc Chamber of Commerce will sell the magic fans produced under its name to other parts of the kingdom is indeed from Xu Yi's Jianyì.

At that joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi proved to the presidents of other chambers of commerce of the federation that the gap between other chambers of commerce and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the production of magic machinery was too big. It is almost impossible to compete head-on with the new flying chamber of commerce for the market.

So Xu Yi proposed. Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not have sufficient sales channels for the time being, then other chambers of commerce might as well rely on their own mature sales channels. Selling the magic fans that have been produced to other parts of the kingdom will inevitably lead to sales.

Although the other chambers of commerce did not make a clear statement on Xu Yi's mention at that time, Xu Yi later knew that many chambers of commerce did so, and according to the news that came back, the effect was very good.

There are even several chambers of commerce that have even given up the idea of withdrawing from the magic machinery market after seeing the strong demand for magic fans in other parts of the kingdom, and have instead vigorously reproduced magic fans.

Two of them even ordered two more production lines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be shipped to two other cities far from Bangta City. A new magic fan factory was built, and it is said that sales are now very impressive.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi asked River: "Since the sales are good, then when you come back this time, are you going to increase investment in President Lanke Jian Yì and continue to vigorously produce magic fans?"

River looked left and right, leaned in front of Xu Yi, and said in a low voice: "President Xu, isn't your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really going to sell your Xinfei brand magic fan to other places this year?"

"Of course. Xu also nodded affirmatively. "Didn't I already express my attitude at the last joint meeting? The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not yet have the strength to distribute all the products to all parts of the kingdom. So at least this year, our new Flying Magic Fan will only be sold in Bangta City and the three surrounding cities. Of course, from next year, we will also try to open up new sales channels. Because the people who should buy in the cities around Bangta City have basically already bought it, and the market is completely saturated. ”

River stared at Xu Yi for a while, and saw that his face was sincere. He nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand." President Hsu. I think there should be opportunities for cooperation between our Sarank Chamber of Commerce and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

Seeing that River had the intention of leaving, Xu Yi hurriedly stopped him. Ask him, "Let me ask you a question, where have you been furthest this time?"

River glanced at Xu Yi in surprise: "I haven't gone far, the farthest is only Syphland City." ”

"Suffland City?" Xu Yi thought for a moment. "It's only about 400 kilometers away from Bonta City. ”

"Four hundred kilometers is already very far. River shook his head with some emotion. "We were afraid that the goods would be damaged, so it took us a full week just to make a trip. If it weren't for the magic fan selling fast, it would not have been possible to come back today. ”

Xu Yi's eyes fell on the wheels of the carriage, and he saw that the iron sheet wrapped on the wooden wheel had been worn out, which showed that their trip was indeed hard.

Seeing Xu Yi looking at the wheels, Vice President River suddenly sighed with emotion: "President Xu, when your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had to build a road from Bangta City to Falling Rain Valley, I thought you must be crazy, and you have no place to spend more money. But now after going out on such a trip, I find that what you said is called ...... Called...... What do you want to do?"

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Xu Yidao.

"Yes, yes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If all the roads in our kingdom were roads, not only would we not have to worry about damaging goods due to bumpy roads, but horse-drawn carriages would also be able to run faster. If you have been running on the road, the 400 kilometers may take less than three days. This saves me a week's worth of time, enough for me to make one more trip. ”

Xu Yi smiled: "Of course." Transportation is a fundamental issue for business development, so it is true that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Your way back should be through Saltan, and you should see the road that Filson Carriage is building to connect Saltan with Bonta City, right?"

River nodded, "yes, I see." I thought that the road was also built by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but after entering the city just now, I found out that it was originally built at the expense of the Filson Carriage and Horse Company. ”

"Yes, in fact, building roads is the most helpful for us businessmen. When you go back to see President Ranko in a moment, remind him for me that if he doesn't make up his mind, he won't have a chance soon. ”

River looked at Xu Yi inexplicably, but didn't ask much and nodded in response.

Xu Yi stepped out of the way. Seeing that Xu Yi had nothing else to say, River said hello to Xu Yi. Re-drove the carriage away.

Watching the carriage disappear into another street corner, Xu Yi withdrew his gaze that had been staring at the wheels of the carriage. I thought about it for a while, but instead of going home, I walked in the opposite direction.

Ten minutes later, Xu also appeared at the headquarters of the Filson Carriage and Horse Shop in the city.

As expected, at this time, President Pompeiry, who was in Filson's carriage, was spending a rare leisure time in his own private room in the headquarters as usual.

Hearing Xu Yi's visit, he hurriedly asked people to come in.

"President Xu, I was really surprised that you would be here. Pompeii laughed out loud. While welcoming Xu Yi to sit down on a special soft chair woven with fragrant forest grass, he poured him a cup of flowing firefly flower dew with a whole body of turquoise and a liter that cost as much as thirty-eight gold coins.

Xu Yi glanced around the room, and finally looked at the cup of flowing firefly dew in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "I have long heard that President Pompei will have an extremely luxurious and luxurious life, and when I saw it with my own eyes today, I realized that whether it is other people's descriptions or my imagination, there is still a long way to go." ”

President Pompeii laughed, waved his hand, and said, "President Xu." If it were those ordinary people who said that, it would be okay, but you are the president of the most profitable chamber of commerce in our Bangta City right now, and if you still say that, you are simply slapping me in the face. As long as you want. Even if you live a life that is ten times more luxurious, there is no pressure. ”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, and did not intend to discuss the choice of luxury or not with him, so he took a sip of the fragrant and refreshing flowing firefly flower dew. He inquired of President Pomberg about the construction of the highway by Filson's chariots.

"Overall it was very smooth. Although there are a few minor problems in the middle, it is nothing. "Mention the two. Or rather, a common topic between the two chambers of commerce, President Pompeiy's tone was extremely relaxed. According to President Crews' estimates. The road will probably be completed in just over three months, just in time for the cold weather in winter. What about you?"

"It's pretty much the same. Xu Yi replied. "This time, the roads built by our two chambers of commerce are much wider than the rainy roads, and it should take a little longer. What's more, President Crews has been complaining to me that there are too few people, so that their chamber of commerce has not been able to work at full capacity. ”

President Pompeiy sighed helplessly: "Don't say he complains, I complain too." There are a lot of people from other cities coming to our city of Bangta, and we have more than twice as many customers as before. I'm also worried about the lack of manpower. ”

"Isn't it something you should be happy to receive more guests, which proves that your business is good?" Xu Yi said with a smile.

"To be happy is to be happy, but to be sad is also to be really sad. You said...... Shall we go and talk to the lord of the city, and ask him to apply to His Majesty the King to bring some people from other cities?"

Xu Yi shook his head and vetoed: "Even if it is His Majesty the King, it is not easy to arbitrarily order ordinary people of the kingdom to relocate. What's more, there are still many people in the noble realm in the kingdom, and His Majesty the king does not have this power. If you want to solve the manpower problem, the best way is to spread the word. As long as everyone in the entire kingdom knows that we need a lot of manpower here in Bang Ta City, and the salary given is not low, then I don't think there will be many people running towards our Bang Ta City without being forced by others. ”

President Pompeii thought for a moment and couldn't help but nod, "Well, it should be better this way." Everyone wants to make more money, and if you know how much money we have in Bang Ta City, there will definitely be a lot of people coming. Immediately, his face turned bitter again. "But the more people come, the more guests we have to receive. Where am I going to find so many people to use in such a short period of time?"

"That's your own problem. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, paused, and said, "But President Pompeiy, have you ever thought about improving this problem from yourself?"

President Pompeii glanced at Xu Yi and said suspiciously, "How can I improve myself?"

"For example...... It now takes two days for your carriage to make a trip from Bonta City to Anvimar City, but what if you could shorten that time to one day?" (To be continued......)
