Chapter 57 Two More Identities

"I don't want to do anything." Seeing Sevigny with a questioning face, Xu Yi answered easily. "It's just that we have recruited one hundred more elves, so it's not surprising? Don't forget, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce now has more than five hundred dwarf workers. The labor certificates of these dwarves are still yours, Her Royal Highness. Sent it to me personally."

The expression on Sevigny's face was not as relaxed as Xu Yi's. He shook his head and said, "Dwarves and elves are different. Although the relationship between dwarves and humans has never been very close, it can't be said that it is too bad. There are still many dwarves living in the human world, and humans are more receptive to dwarves. The elves were the masters of this continent in the past. Although thousands of years have passed since the race war, there are still many people among the human beings. Stay vigilant."

"This is really too much thinking." Xu Yi frowned. "The number of elves on the Sainz Continent is now so small. I estimate that there may not be 10,000 in the Kingdom of Lampari. What is there to be vigilant about? Besides, the fertility rate of elves is much lower than that of us humans. According to Elder Elushia said that only two more elf children have been born in their tribe in the last ten years. Do you think such a race is worth our human beings to worry about or even be vigilant about?”

"I don't think so, but some people do. And I'm not worried about these elves, but someone will use this as an excuse to attack your new flying chamber of commerce and cause you trouble." Sevigny said sternly.

Xu Yi smiled: "Those who want to attack our Chamber of Commerce can always find excuses, and they don't care about the fact that there are more elves. Besides, Her Royal Highness, you support our Chamber of Commerce so much. You can't just sit idly by?"

Seeing Xu Yi grinning. Sevigny gave Xu Yi a rare glance: "President Xu. Do you know that I have saved a lot of trouble for your Chamber of Commerce?"

"Of course I do. Her Royal Highness is the guiding light and savior of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I know this very well. I can't wait to dedicate my heart to you to express my gratitude to you."

Sevigny blushed slightly, scolded Xu Yi, straightened his face again, and asked Xu Yi: "Okay, pay attention to this issue yourself. I'm here mainly for the orders for those armor and weapons."

"I think so too. Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness. We have completed more than 8,000 sets of armor so far, and in a few months, we will be able to complete the 50,000 sets of armor specified in the order." Xu Yidao.

"The speed is good." Sevigny nodded. "But I am here this time, not to urge you to complete the order quickly, but to make some changes to this order."

"Revision?" Xu Yi looked at the unnatural expression on Sevigny's face, thinking that this revision might not be a small revision.

Sure enough, Sevigny paused, with a hint of apology on his face, and continued: "Although the military is very satisfied with the quality of the first batch of armor completed by your chamber of commerce, it was later proposed. Mass production of armor cannot be controlled in In the hands of an ordinary chamber of commerce, it must be controlled by the royal family and the military itself. So..."

"So we are not allowed to continue producing armor. Are you planning to change the order to ordering a magic machine?" Sevigny hesitated, and Xu Yi immediately asked.

Sevigny glanced at Xu Yi in surprise: "President Xu, your reaction is really quick."

"It's nothing, because I've heard this kind of request countless times." Xu Yi shrugged. "Everyone doesn't want what they want to be in the hands of others, and they all feel that it is the most reassuring to master the method of production. I understand the concerns of His Majesty the King and the King's Ministry. This is normal."

"So... President Xu, do you agree?"

"Of course, why don't you agree?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Besides, do I have the right to disagree? Well, Your Royal Highness, you don't have to feel sorry for me, because I know very well that the military industry is the foundation of a country, and it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary small chamber of commerce like us to master it. Even if you don't raise this request today, I would have long been looking for an opportunity to raise this issue with you.

Sevigny nodded: "President Xu, you are indeed a smart person, and you don't need me to explain more to you. Since President Xu, you understand what I mean, I will now formally propose new requirements of the military to you. The order of 50,000 sets of armor is still reserved, but in addition to this, the military has put forward a special order to your new flying chamber of commerce. That is to hope that your new flying chamber of commerce will assist the military to establish a factory specializing in the production of armor and weapons. "

Xu Yi was not surprised by this request, he touched his chin and thought about it, and asked, "Your Highness, it is a very troublesome thing to build a complete military factory. In addition to mechanical equipment, it also requires Lots of people. If nothing else, can you find enough suitable workers?"

"No." Sevigny shook his head honestly. "So these problems need to be solved by the cooperation of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"By us?" Xu Yi pointed at himself in amazement. "Respected Royal Highness, you and the military also think too highly of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

"Does it make a difference? Anyway, apart from your new flying chamber of commerce, no other chamber of commerce can do this, right?" Sevigny smiled.

Xu Yi thought for a while, but could only reluctantly admit this fact.

"Well, what should we do?"

# # #

It should be said that Sevigny's request on behalf of His Majesty the King and the military is exactly what Xu Yi intended.

With the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not a good thing to go too deep into the military industry, because it is too easy to arouse the vigilance of some people.

However, assisting the Wang ** Department to build a military factory like this will make those people much easier to accept.

Through this incident, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only established a deeper connection with Wang's Department of Commerce, but also gained a lot of practical benefits.

For the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in addition to the large amount of income brought by 50,000 sets of armor, there are also related income from the sale of a large number of magic machine tools and technical guidance.

More importantly, through this cooperation, Xu Yi once again asked the royal family for the mining rights of two magic crystal mines.

Thus. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a full three iron mines and five magic crystal mines.

these veins. In particular, the Magic Crystal Mine might not seem very valuable right now. However, Xu Yi is very sure that with the further popularization of magic machinery, the price of both iron ore and magic crystal ore will skyrocket.

Therefore, Xu Yi is not in a hurry to mine these ore veins now, but leaves them temporarily and waits until the right time to mine them.

In addition to the benefits from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi personally also received some very practical benefits.

First of all, because of this cooperation, His Majesty the King actually awarded Xu Yi a special award.

That is to say. Xu Yi was finally no longer an ordinary commoner, but a dignified Lord of Lampari Kingdom.

Although his lord did not have any fiefs, and was also the one with the lowest title among all the nobles in the kingdom, this represented a fundamental change in his identity, representing that he had changed from a commoner to a noble.

Secondly, because of this cooperation, the military department also arranged for Xu Yi to be a special advisor to the staff office of Wang's Ministry of Justice.

Although this status is only a virtual position, it means that Xu Yi can also be regarded as a member of Wang's Ministry from now on, and has many special conveniences.

Of course, whether it is the status of a lord, or the status of a special adviser to the military. Can't see any specific effect now.

For Xu Yi, the most important identity will always be the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What he cares most about is always the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Since the beginning of July, due to the hotter weather, the sales volume of the new generation of magic fans and magic air conditioners produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has begun to enter a blowout stage.

Compared with last month, the magic fan has sold more than 20,000 units before half of this month, and even exceeded the total sales of last year.

And the sales of magic air conditioners have exploded.

Last summer, Magic Air Conditioners only sold less than 1,000 units.

This year, in the first half of July alone, more than 3,000 units were sold.

And this is only the sales of Bangta City. If the sales of several surrounding cities are added, it will be close to 10,000 units.

This does not take into account the sales of the store opened by Victor and the three in Anweimar City. You must know that the small store alone has sold a full 5,000 units since the beginning of the summer.

Even if you count the trade-in, the profit of a magic fan is close to a gold coin.

And the profit of a magic air conditioner has reached an astonishing fifteen gold coins.

Just adding these two things together, the profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the past half month has reached nearly 200,000 gold coins.

What's more, the newly launched magic freezer quickly opened the market in Bangta City and several surrounding cities as soon as it was sold, and more than 30,000 units were sold in just ten days.

The cost of a magic freezer is only about four gold coins, which means that a magic freezer can earn thirteen to fourteen gold coins.

The sales of more than 30,000 units have earned a total of 400,000 gold coins that can be regarded as terrifying.

"Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really developing fast enough." The city owner of Bangta City, Earl Samo, looked at the tax statistics of Bangta City for the first half of the year, shook his head, and praised Xu Yi who was opposite: "Last year from your new flight From the establishment of the chamber of commerce to the end of the year, the total amount of taxes paid was less than 20,000 gold coins. This year, you paid nearly 40,000 gold coins in the last month alone. It can be seen that you earned at least 20,000 gold coins last month. More than 100,000 gold coins. Your magic fans, magic air conditioners, and the newly launched magic freezers are selling so well this month. I think your chamber of commerce will earn at least 500,000 gold coins this month."

Xu Yi smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Lord Count, this is also a good month. People in Bangta City and the surrounding cities have bought everything that should be bought. Look next month, we guarantee that the sales of all products of our Chamber of Commerce will be terrible. Well, I won't even earn 100,000 gold coins next month. I'm wondering what to do."

"Are you still worried? Isn't the president of the other chamber of commerce going to commit suicide by jumping into the river?" Earl Summer scolded with a smile. "Okay, making money from your chamber of commerce is also a good thing for us in Bangta City. Now everyone in Bangta City has a stable job, there is money to make, and everyone's life has obviously improved. It's extra easy. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi waved his hands again and again: "How could it be. The reason why Bangta City is like this is all because of your wise leadership, Lord Earl, and it has nothing to do with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"Stop flattering me." Earl Summer scolded, "At least the dozens of small chambers of commerce that were created because of the plan you came up with have nothing to do with me, as well as the Sandwichton Industrial Area you mentioned. It has nothing to do with me either."

"How can it be okay! If it wasn't for your full support, Lord Count, how could this plan have passed? How could an industrial zone be established? You are so humble, Lord Count!"

Earl Summer smiled, shook his head, flipped through the table in front of him, took out a document and threw it in front of Xu Yi. "I'm not calling you here today to praise you. I actually want to ask you for donations." (To be continued..)
