Chapter 76 Financial Pressure

The report from the Moyun mainland branch reached Xu Yi 20 days later.

Xu also didn't offer any comments on the various countermeasures made by the senior management of the branch.

Moyun Continent and Sainz Continent are tens of thousands of kilometers apart, and it takes more than a month for the two sides to get in touch with each other. Even if Xu Yi made changes to the decision made by the branch, it was already more than a month late. Can't keep up with the changing situation.

Therefore, unless there was an obvious and particularly serious mistake in the decision-making of the branch, Xu Yi would not point fingers at tens of thousands of kilometers away.

What's more, although the countermeasures made by the branch this time are a little passive, but when they don't know enough about the situation on Moyun Continent, it's okay to be cautious like this.

As for Captain Reinhard's proposal to take the initiative to attack the goblins, Xu also rejected it.

Whether it is from the information provided by the natives of the Moyun Continent such as the Dragon, the Elf, and the Dwarf, it proves that the power of the goblins on the Moyun Continent far exceeds that of other races, and they are very difficult enemies.

Taking the initiative to provoke the other party before fully preparing is tantamount to asking for trouble.

However, since the goblins have already appeared within a few dozen kilometers of the base, with the characteristics of the goblins' crazy expansion of their territory, I am afraid that they will soon discover the existence of the branch base. Time is running out.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi picked up a pen and wrote his name on the material assistance report submitted by the branch, and then handed it to Cindy beside him.

"Take it to the logistics department and let them deal with it first."

Cindy took the report and glanced at it, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Master President, the logistics department has already made an opinion last time, saying that the material support requirements of the Moyun mainland branch are getting more and more. The higher it is, the pressure on them is too great..."

"Oh?" Xu Yi glanced at Cindy. "Did they say that directly to you?"

"Yeah." Cindy nodded slightly.

"I see." Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "Give it to them. By the way, tell them that the construction of the branch base in Moyun Continent is for the long-term development of our chamber of commerce. Even if there is pressure, we must withstand it."

"yes."

Watching Cindy turn and leave, Xu Yi leaned back. He also frowned, lost in thought.

It is no wonder that the people in the logistics department feel too much pressure. Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to send personnel and materials to the Moyun Continent to build a branch base in the previous year, it has only been less than two years since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce The total value of various materials invested in it has reached as high as 30 million gold coins.

And compared to materials. What is more important is all kinds of people.

The other departments are not bad. In order to ensure the smooth construction of the Moyun Continent sub-base, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards sent a total of 6,000 people to guard the brigade.

The value represented by this guard brigade alone is already immeasurable. Coupled with the various military magic machines equipped for them and various military supplies for subsequent reinforcements, the cost is even more astronomical.

And because 6,000 guards were sent to Moyun Continent, in order to make up for this gap, Sainz Continent had to retrain and equip a group of guards.

In the past six months, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested more than 10 million gold coins in this.

And the combat power of the thousands of newly recruited guards is obviously not as good as the old guards sent out, so in fact, the armed forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the Sains Continent have dropped a lot compared to before.

However, the situation on Sainz Continent is not stable recently. In addition, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has to continue to expand its sphere of influence, so it needs a stronger armed force.

Therefore, in terms of investment in the guard team, it needs to continue to be greatly strengthened.

According to the plan, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is expected to invest at least 20 million gold coins in the guards in the next two to three years.

Calculated in this way, because of the opening of the Moyun Continent sub-base, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spends at least 30 million gold coins more each year on average, which will naturally put a lot of pressure on the logistics department in charge of the Chamber of Commerce's logistics supplies.

This situation will only be alleviated and improved when the sub-base achieves self-sufficiency and gradually produces output, but the current situation of the sub-base. This situation will continue for at least several years.

So for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the last few years are the most critical years, and there is no room for mistakes.

Xu Yi thought for a while, then got up and went to the map of Sainz's continent hanging on the wall. His gaze swept across the map slowly.

In reality, although the logistics department complained that the pressure was too great, for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not completely unbearable to spend an extra 30 million gold coins every year. After all, the net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year has reached An astonishing 150 million gold coins.

Putting aside other aspects of investment, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has a large profit surplus. It is not a big problem to take out 30 million gold coins and invest them in sub-bases every year.

But the premise of this is that the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been maintained smoothly, so that it can ensure that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to have the incomparable high profits and high investment of almost all other chambers of commerce on the mainland.

Under normal circumstances, this is of course no problem.

Driven and influenced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, almost all qualified countries on the Sainz continent have begun to invest desperately in the magic industry, but their foundation is far inferior to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they develop the magic industry. , In fact, it is equivalent to indirectly expanding the market for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

On this basis, the sales of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are now skyrocketing like a rocket.

However, due to the decline in the profit margin, the total profit has not soared as much as the sales, it can only be said to have increased steadily and rapidly.

An important reason for this result is that other countries on the mainland have begun to clamp down on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce openly and secretly, trying to suppress the rapid development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Among them, the establishment of the Chino Federation and the Valley Coordinating Association is an example of these countries targeting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, Xu Yi was well prepared in this regard. As early as more than ten years ago, he tried his best to control various mineral resources at all costs, and achieved great results by virtue of the lack of attention paid to mineral resources by various countries at that time.

Although the various mineral resources controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in fact cannot be compared with the two major mineral organizations, the Chino Federation and the Valley Coordination Association, if it is only used by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for its own use, it is enough to make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last for a hundred years. Don't worry about time.

More importantly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has far surpassed the technical strength of the two organizations in the smelting of steel and various non-ferrous metals, making the steel and other non-ferrous metal materials produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce occupy an absolute market. The two major mining organizations also had to cooperate with the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce, and handed over part of the various mineral resources under their names to the Xinfei Mining Chamber of Commerce for smelting.

In this way, the two major mining organizations will not be able to completely block the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so the impact on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this aspect is almost zero. On the contrary, it will make other magic machinery chambers that are in urgent need of steel and non-ferrous metal raw materials more serious. Knowing the technical advantages of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have soared.

However, Xu Yi knew very well that all this was only temporary.

Now the major countries on the mainland still have scruples about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. When their technical strength is still far behind the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then they must assume an attitude of cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Flying Chamber of Commerce is too restrictive.

But once their technical strength increases and their dependence on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually decreases, they will definitely try their best to restrict the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Hey, no wonder Grandpa and Steele always say I did it to myself." Xu Yi shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

He has always dreamed of developing a complete industrial system on the entire Sainz continent, so he has not been stingy in transferring technology to other countries and chambers of commerce, and even personally guided it.

But once other countries and chambers of commerce have greatly improved their technology, their dependence on Xinfei chamber of commerce will naturally decrease accordingly.

Even in the future, if their technology surpasses the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in turn, it is very normal for them to bite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again.

So this is a dilemma. If he wants to quickly promote the development of the magic industry, Xu Yi must share some unique technologies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that everyone can develop together.

But the more you share, the faster other forces will catch up with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the greater the difficulties that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will face.

How to control the type and progress of technology sharing is a very difficult test for Xu Yi.

A little carelessness may make Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fall into a passive position.

Of course, one thing is certain, that is, in terms of technology related to military magic machinery, Xu Yi must be extremely stuck.

The reason why the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can still make other countries have scruples is because of its absolute advantage in the field of military magic machinery, which makes other countries have scruples about the force of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce loses its advantage in this area, then Xu can be sure that other countries will inevitably rush over and carve up the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the first place.

Therefore, Xu Yi treats any requests from other countries and forces to share military magic machinery technology with extreme caution, and strictly implements the previously designated strategic partnership plan, and does not allow himself to cross any borders.

But... When a special object asked Xu Yi to transfer the technology of military magic machinery, Xu Yi hesitated. (~^~)
