Chapter 126 Want a Mine?

Xu Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "What bad news?"

Sevigny's expression was a little hesitant, and he paused before answering: "It's about those two iron mines."

Xu Yi couldn't help frowning: "Is there something wrong with those two iron mines?"

These two iron mines can be said to be the top priority of Xu Yi's transaction with His Majesty the King. If something goes wrong with them, it can even be said that this transaction is a complete failure.

"It's not that there is any problem with the iron ore itself, but we have encountered some problems here." Sevigny said a little embarrassedly.

Xu Yi's expression softened a little, and he asked again, "Then what is the problem? Did His Majesty the King suddenly change his mind?"

"No, since His Majesty the King has already signed a contract with you, of course he won't change it easily." Sevigny shook his head and sighed softly: "It's just that two days ago, someone in the kingdom suddenly complained about the Agriculture Department and The contract signed by your new flying chamber of commerce raises doubts."

"Oh? Who is it? Where is the question?" Xu Yi was a little surprised.

This transaction was signed by His Majesty the King on behalf of the Agriculture Department and Xu Yi. To question this contract is to question His Majesty.

Judging from the years Xu Yi has lived in the Kingdom of Lampari, His Majesty the King's prestige in the kingdom is beyond doubt. Who would dare to question him directly?

"This is related to a long-standing agreement. Specifically, at the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom of Lampari, the first king of the kingdom had an agreement with some families who assisted him in establishing the country at that time to reward them for their support. Among them, the peace agreement The Lai family's agreement is related to the iron ore in the kingdom." Sevigny replied.

Xu Yi suddenly realized: "So, is the Yolai family expressing dissatisfaction with His Majesty the king bringing two iron mines to trade with our chamber of commerce? But this is not right, these two mines are not in the territory of any family, then It belongs to the royal family. Since this is the case. His Majesty has the right to make any decision on these two iron mines, what reason do others have to question?"

Sevigny showed a wry smile and said: "You are right, but the problem is that the agreement between His Majesty the first king and the Yolai family is. In addition to giving the Yolai family a certain iron ore, it is also guaranteed that as long as the royal family intends to transfer other the iron ore, the Yolai family will have priority.”

"Priority?" Xu Yi's expression suddenly became extremely surprised. "This means. As long as the royal family intends to transfer the iron ore under its own name, it must first be transferred to the Jolai family? Others are not allowed to interfere?"

"It's not that exaggerated. This priority means that under the same bid, the agent designated by the Jolai family can have priority to obtain iron ore." Sevigny said.

Xu Yi finally understood. After thinking about it, it still felt wrong: "But these two iron mines were not transferred from the royal family to our Chamber of Commerce, but were used to pay for those farmland magic machines at a discount."

"The problem is that the Jolai family thinks that since the two iron mines can be used for a discount, it is equivalent to the royal family selling the two iron mines, so of course the Jolai family also has the right to bid. Three days ago, the Duke of Jolai Just before His Majesty the King asked for a fair bid with your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. To decide who gets the two iron ore." Sevigny explained.

"Then His Majesty the King agreed?" Xu Yi asked.

"After all, this is an agreement between the first His Majesty the King and the Joseph family. If we don't abide by it, the royal family will surely be cast aside. President Xu, His Majesty the King also has some helplessness." Speaking of the back. Sevigny's voice slowed down a little, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Xu Yi glanced at Sevigny and snorted coldly; "Miss Sevigny, I protest this on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Our Chamber of Commerce has signed a contract with His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department. The reason wants to break this contract, I say it goes against the spirit of the contract, and I have the right to express my dissatisfaction with it."

Sevigny nodded lightly: "President Xu, I understand your dissatisfaction. But please believe that His Majesty the King and our Agriculture Department are fully willing to cooperate with you. This incident is indeed our ill-consideration. , it has caused losses to you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and we will definitely compensate you."

"Compensation?" Xu Yi snorted again. "You can go back on contracts that have already been signed. How can you make me believe in this compensation?"

Sevigny looked at Xu Yi calmly for a while, then shook his head lightly: "President Xu, I have been in contact with you for a while, and I know that you are definitely not someone who is motivated, so let's stop talking about these two things? Mine, His Majesty the King has no way to refuse Duke Joseph's request, so I hope your New Flying Chamber of Commerce can make a fair bid with the agent appointed by the Joseph family. As for the loss of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce in this incident, His Majesty said that you can give more Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a magic crystal mine as compensation. In addition, there will be some special treatment for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of kingdom policy. For example, the patent bill you proposed last time, His Majesty said that it can be carefully considered and submitted as soon as possible Review and review it to the Kingdom Council."

"The patent bill is not only the benefit of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi shook his head and continued: "But since His Majesty the King is willing to offer compensation, I express my willingness to accept it. But it is only compensation for a mere magic crystal mine, I think it is not enough. Miss Sevigny, you should be well aware that the two iron ore mines have been discounted by a total of 1.8 million gold coins in the contract. Now that Duke Joseph has proposed a fair bid with our Chamber of Commerce, he has clearly understood the price. The Ser family proposes a higher price, what should our chamber of commerce do?"

Sevigny replied immediately: "If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce wants to get these two iron ore, then it is very simple, of course, it is to pay a higher price. If you don't want it, it doesn't matter, let the royal family transfer the two iron ore to Joao. Ser family, and then pay for the order directly with gold coins."

Xu Yi sneered: "Miss Sevigny, originally according to the contract, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could obtain two mines at a price of 1.8 million gold coins, but now we can only increase the price or lose these two mines. Iron ore, do you think this is reasonable?"

"President Xu, the discount for the two iron mines is 1.8 million gold coins. Your chamber of commerce will receive the same amount of gold coins from the royal family. Is there any problem?" Sevigny said.

"What if I really want those two iron mines?" Xu Yi stared at Sevigny, not giving in an inch. "Miss Sevigny, I don't believe you can't see it, the goal of the Joseph family is not the two iron mines, but to seize all the iron mines in the kingdom and drive all the competitors away. Go out. In this way, they can monopolize all the iron ore business in the kingdom, and they can set prices at will, and no one can compete with them." Speaking of which, Xu Yi shook his head with a confused expression on his face: "Actually, Se Miss Pooh, I have always thought it was very strange, why is it that the royal family does not control such an important national resource as iron ore, but is controlled by a family other than the royal family? Is it just because of a mere agreement in the early days of the founding of the country? "

Sevigny looked at Xu Yi's eyes with a flash of strangeness, and was silent for a while, and then slowly said word by word: "President Xu, please always remember that you are just an ordinary businessman now, some You'd better not think about it."

Xu Yi laughed at himself: "Yes, you are right, I am just a small businessman, and of course I have no right to intervene in His Majesty's plans. Well, now I don't care about it, I just want to ask, what should I do? What about getting the two iron mines that you should have acquired on the original basis?”

"First of all, I would like to remind you that the two iron ore mines do not belong to you until the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has completed all the orders." Sevigny said sternly: "Secondly, President Xu, according to the original plan, let the New Flying Chamber of Commerce obtain the Of course there are ways for those two iron mines, but I need your cooperation. That's why I made a special trip to find you this time."

Only then did Xu Yi reveal a smile and nodded lightly: "It seems that Miss Sevigny has already planned, why didn't you say it earlier? Well, how should I cooperate?"

"According to Duke Joseph's request, a public auction for those two mines will be held in Bangta City in a week's time. President Xu, if you want to acquire those two iron mines, please..."

# # #

A week later, the Mansion of the City Lord of Bangta City was brightly lit and full of people in the dark. It was obvious that another banquet was being held.

The City Lord's Mansion often holds banquets for various reasons, especially during this period.

It's just that tonight's banquet was a little different.

Because at the same time as the banquet, there will also be a public auction.

It is unprecedented for the auction to be held in the City Lord's Mansion, but those who know the insider know very well that if this public auction is not held in the City Lord's Mansion, other places are not eligible to hold it.

Because the products sold at this auction are not some rare treasures, but two iron mines in Bangta City.

Although all the rare treasures are very expensive and are likely to fetch sky-high prices, compared with the two real mines, it is obviously far from enough to see.

Most of the people who can participate in the auction of rare and exotic treasures are rich people, but those who can participate in today's banquet cannot simply be described as rich.

A single iron mine may involve a huge amount of millions of gold coins. If two are auctioned together, the number of gold coins involved is enough to make most people dizzy.

So many people couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when they saw Xu Yi appearing at the banquet.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly since its establishment, it has attracted everyone's attention. In less than half a year, it has become a chamber of commerce that can occupy a place in Bangta City, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was established after all. The time is still short and there is no foundation. Even if every product launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce makes a lot of money, it is impossible to accumulate such a huge amount of wealth in less than half a year.

What qualifications does this Xu Yi have to participate in this most advanced auction that counts millions of gold coins?
