Volume 2 Industrial Fire Chapter 1 Business Exchange Meeting

On the fifth day of the new year, Xu Yi received a special invitation.

This invitation card is from the City Lord's Mansion, and the content is to invite Xu Yi to attend the New Year's exchange banquet held by the City Lord's Mansion on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Unlike some of the invitations that the city lord's mansion sent Xu Yi to invite him to an ordinary banquet, this invitation was actually signed by the city lord, Count Sean Summer.

Xu can also shirk the previous invitations to various banquets, but since this time it was an invitation from the city lord himself, it would be difficult for him to shirk it as easily as before.

And it was also noted on the invitation that in addition to inviting many business representatives from Bangta City, this New Year's exchange banquet also included businessmen from Karma City, which is the closest to Bangta City.

This surprised Xu Yi.

It is said that today is only the fifth day of the new year. Why did the merchants from Kalmar City suddenly come to Bangta City?

"Actually, this is an old rule." Moon Cruise, president of the Amli Chamber of Commerce, held a glass of red wine in his hand and explained to Xu Yi with a smile. "Every year at the beginning of the new year, the lord of Karma City, Count Anaris, will lead the merchants of Karma City to come here to visit our Bangta City, and then after a few days, the lord of the city will choose some The representative of the Chamber of Commerce in Tacheng went to Karma City for a return visit. President Xu, you only joined the business world last year, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know this rule. However, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was only established last year, and now you are qualified to be invited by the Lord of the City. It was amazing to be at this banquet."

Xu Yi glanced at him: "What? Do you think our new pilots are not qualified enough?"

"How is that possible!" President Cruise shouted with an exaggerated expression. "President Xu, although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been established for a long time, who dares to question your qualifications in Bangta City? Besides, we are the closest partners. I don't care who I think is not qualified here. Think you're not enough. You say so?"

Xu Yi laughed: "Just kidding, President Cruise, you don't have to be so nervous."

President Cruise said that the Amley Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the closest partners. Although it is a little exaggerated, it cannot be said too much.

Since the Amley Chamber of Commerce gets its cement supply from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. And after fully mastering the various uses of cement. The building quality of the Amley Chamber of Commerce has taken a qualitative leap.

In just over two months, the Amley Chamber of Commerce has received unanimous praise. The construction orders received have skyrocketed in the new year, compared with last year, it has increased by as much as 30%.

And this 30% increase does not include the construction orders directly submitted by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to the Amley Chamber of Commerce.

On the third day of the new year, Xu Yi made a special trip to find President Cruise. In addition to the New Year's congratulations, the more important purpose is to present to him a large number of construction projects that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce needs now.

In addition to building a new factory on the territory of Viscount Leslie for the home magic machinery production workshop, there are two major projects that surprised President Cruise.

One of them is to build new houses for the Norma tribe and the Angolan tribe, and to build a housing project for the new tribe.

Xu Yi did not tell President Cruise why he wanted to carry out these two projects, but President Cruise was not very interested in Xu Yi's purpose. Apart from raising some doubts about Xu Yi's move to transform the Sandy River without the approval of Earl Summers, he focused most of his attention on the cost of these two projects.

Xu also has extremely high requirements on the quality of these two projects, requiring the Amley Chamber of Commerce to use the best materials and best labor for construction, which means that the Amley Chamber of Commerce will obtain the highest profit in these two projects .

According to Xu Yi's initial plan. President Cruise easily judged that the total cost of these two projects is likely to exceed 300,000 gold coins!

And the Amli Chamber of Commerce can get a huge profit of more than 50,000 gold coins at a minimum.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was very profitable, it was still short-lived, and it was impossible to spend such a huge sum of 300,000 gold coins in one go. Therefore, Xu Yi proposed to offset the cement supply to the Amli Chamber of Commerce, and got it. A great welcome from President Cruise.

Now the construction projects under the name of the Amley Chamber of Commerce are almost inseparable from cement.

For this reason, President Cruise made several requests to Xu Yi to extend the cement monopoly for the Amley Chamber of Commerce, but Xu Yi firmly refused.

But in any case, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amley Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as closely connected, and they are indeed worthy of the title of "close partners".

In fact, what Xu Yi said about "someone questioned the eligibility of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to participate" was a joke at all.

At present, all the Chambers of Commerce in Bangta City appeared at the banquet. After the development of the past six months, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been familiar with all the Chambers of Commerce in Bangta City, and everyone is well aware of the powerful potential of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

After the last auction of the two mines, everyone no longer doubted the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

To be able to grab an iron ore from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and to use the money borrowed from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, is enough to make other chambers of commerce look at Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with admiration.

Now there are even many people who speculate that there is actually a powerful backer behind Xu Yi.

Judging from the good relationship between Xu Yi and Viscount Leslie, the backer behind him is likely to be the most powerful Stark family in the Lampari Kingdom.

Of course, no one doubts it, but it does not mean that everyone welcomes it.

Some people showed great enthusiasm for Xu Yi like President Cruise, and some people showed obvious hostility to Xu Yi, which was not particularly strong.

This person, of course, is Fuller Morgan, president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

Because an iron ore was robbed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the auction, Fuller Morgan was reprimanded face-to-face by a big man in the Joseph family, and he almost could not keep his chairmanship because of it, so Fuller Morgan It is not surprising that Morgan hated Xu Yi.

Generally speaking, when the other party has already shown obvious hostility, no one will be so ignorant and come over, but Xu Yi is an exception.

After spotting Fuller Morgan in the crowd, he walked over with a glass of wine and smiling.

"President Morgan, Happy New Year." Xu Yi raised his cup to signal to President Morgan.

Although President Morgan was very upset, he still showed the good demeanor of a big businessman. He touched a glass with Xu Yi and said with an ugly smile, "Happy New Year."

Xu Yi drank a glass of wine, praised and followed up: "President Morgan, I've been so busy these days that I haven't had time to chat with you. Now I have a chance to meet you, I want to ask, I was with you last time. What do you think about the mine magic machines you mentioned?"

President Morgan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that after the last auction, Xu Yi did find himself mentioning such a thing, but Xu Yi only gave a simple concept at that time, and President Morgan was in a very bad mood at the time. I didn't listen carefully, so I forgot about it later.

During this period of time, he was very busy with the mine, and President Morgan even forgot about it.

Now that Xu Yi mentioned it again, President Morgan thought for a while, and then he replied cautiously: "I have considered it. But President Xu, although I believe in the ability of you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I have not seen any practical results. I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense to say it in such empty words in front of something, right?"

"Oh? So, President Morgan, are you actually interested?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "It's easy to see the real thing. It happened that our Chamber of Commerce successfully developed a small magic drilling machine some time ago, which is very helpful for improving mining efficiency. If you have time, Chairman Morgan, why don't you come and have a look?"

"Small magic drilling rig? The name seems to be quite good..." President Morgan is an old-fashioned businessman after all. Said: "Okay. President Xu, you can send someone to bring this thing over and let me study it. If it is useful, we can discuss other things."

Seeing that President Morgan agreed, Xu Yi didn't care about the restraint he deliberately showed, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Not long after, Earl Summer suddenly walked out from behind the banquet hall. Beside him, a middle-aged man with a slightly short stature, but with a determined expression and a shrewd look in his eyes walked side by side with him.

Obviously, this middle-aged man should be the Count of Anaris, the lord of Karma City.

And behind the two city lords are a group of businessmen from Karma City from afar.

Xu Yi glanced over and found several acquaintances, all of whom were businessmen who had come to Bangta City to order a large number of magical machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two city masters gave a brief speech on the rostrum respectively, indicating that the main purpose of this banquet is to give businessmen in the two cities an opportunity to communicate with each other. I hope everyone can make full use of this opportunity and communicate more. Cooperation to promote the common development of the two cities.

It should be said that such exchanges will be very meaningful.

The Sainz Continent is limited to the level of technology, and there are not many channels for information exchange. Businessmen want to conduct business transactions, most of the time they can only communicate in person.

Now, the city lords of the two cities personally hold such a banquet, which gives the businessmen of the two cities a very good opportunity.

Of course, the premise is that the Earl of Summer and the Earl of Anneris have a good personal relationship, so that they can cooperate to hold such a banquet.

When the two counts announced the start of the banquet, and everyone could start to communicate at will, the businessmen from the two cities immediately found their familiar friends and chatted together in twos and threes.

When Xu Yigang wanted to chat with the few Karma merchants he knew, he suddenly found that Earl Summer beckoned to him.
