Chapter 188 I Did It on Purpose
Earl Stark's reaction came quite quickly.
After Earl Summer and him left Bangta City after handing over the work, he officially became the City Lord of Bangta City, but a week passed, and the new City Lord's Mansion introduced a measure.
There is no problem with this measure on the surface, because the new city lord took office and decided to conduct an inventory of the inside and outside of Bangta City, especially the land use situation, so that the new city lord can be familiar with the situation and implement some targeted measures. .
But in actual operation, it quickly found the head of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The first target was to find Thornkeyton Manor.
Sang Keeton Manor was originally the private manor of Viscount Sang Keeton. Later, because Viscount Sang Keeton's family went bankrupt, he was forced to sell the land occupied by the manor connected to the manor together, and was sold at a high price by Xu Yi. Bought it, and then Xu Yi converted it into a small production base for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this when Earl Summer was the lord of the city.
However, when Earl Stark took over as the city lord and began to investigate the land use of Bonta City, he questioned the current situation of Thornkeyton Manor.
According to the notice from the City Lord's Mansion, because the Sanqidun Manor was originally the manor of the Viscount Sanqidun, that piece of territory belonged to private residential land.
According to the laws of the Kingdom of Lampari, private residential land cannot be used for commercial purposes.
In other words, although Xu Yi could buy this manor from Viscount Sangqiton, he could only use it as his private residence, but he could not transform it into a production base for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
to this situation. It is stated in the announcement of the City Lord's Mansion. Xu Yi was ordered to rectify the Sangqiton Manor immediately. The factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must be relocated in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the City Lord’s Mansion will be eligible to take back the ownership of the land occupied by the Sanqidun Manor according to the laws of the kingdom.
Once this announcement was issued, it immediately caused a lot of criticism in Bangta City.
It has been more than a year since Sangqiton Manor was converted into a production base by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. No one ever felt that there was any problem. The former city owner, Earl Summer, did not express any opinion on this. Why did Earl Stark immediately order Xu Also make corrections?
But the Bangta Daily carried a stipulation from the Land Use Regulations of the Kingdom of Lampari on the front page.
described in accordance with this provision. The current situation of Sangqiton Manor is indeed illegal, and the actions of the City Lord's Mansion have a legal basis, and there is nothing wrong.
And the "Banta Daily" also stated in the corresponding comment article that this situation is not inevitable.
If Xu Yi applied to the noble council of the kingdom for commercial use after purchasing the Thornton Manor, and obtained the approval of the noble council, then there would be no problem.
Although according to the general regulations of the kingdom's noble council, the noble's territory is privately owned by the noble, no matter what the noble does with his own territory, it is his private matter. No one else has the right to interfere.
But this territory is theoretically owned by Viscount Sankeyton, if he changed it to commercial land. Indeed, no one has the right to question.
However, Xu Yi bought this territory from Viscount Sangqiton. According to the relevant regulations of the noble council, although the ownership of this land belongs to Xu Yi, how to deal with it is impossible for Xu Yi to be like Sang. As free and unfettered as Viscount Keeton.
In general, this announcement from the City Lord's Mansion against Sangqiton Manor, on the surface, can't pick out any problems.
"Bah!" President Cruise spat fiercely. "On the surface, there is no problem, but who would be so ruthless? This Earl of Stark has made it clear that he is targeting you."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "What? Did you only know today?"
President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi, who had a relaxed expression, and couldn't help asking: "Hey, did I say you're not in a hurry? Earl Stark has already started to do something to you, so you plan to Just look at it like that?"
"Otherwise, what can I do?" Xu Yi spread out his hands. "You said it just now. He said that on the surface, he can't pick out any problems. And after all, he is the lord of our Bangta City. No matter how he does these things, he has his reasons. How can an ordinary businessman in Tacheng fight against the laws of the kingdom and the City Lord's Mansion?"
President Cruise muttered: "Then you mean to sit here and wait to die?"
"What is waiting for death?" Xu Yi asked back. "I didn't expect this kind of thing long ago, and I made preparations in advance."
President Cruise was startled, then woke up, widened his eyes, and looked at Xu Yi incredulously: "I said... you wouldn't have known that he would target the Sangqiton Manor, so you moved ahead of time. Bar?"
"It's okay to say that. But I just knew that he would definitely target me and our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so I prepared in advance, but I didn't expect that he would attack Thornkeyton Manor directly. I was really impatient. "Xu Yi said.
President Cruise stared: "Since you already know, why not just prepare more fully? With your relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and Earl of Summer, it's just a matter of making up for the formalities. It can be solved casually. Why is it now that Earl Stark is holding on to this problem and is so passive?"
"If... I did it on purpose, do you believe it?" Xu Yi smiled.
"Intentionally?" President Cruise was stunned, frowned and asked: "Why did you deliberately leave a handle for him to catch? Now you have to rectify the Sangqidon Manor, are you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? What's good?"
"Of course there are benefits. Although there will be some losses to relocate from Sangqiton Manor, but in the long run, the foundation of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably be in the Valley of Falling Rain, so sooner or later, it will be necessary to transfer the R&D institutions and production in the Chamber of Commerce. Aggregated institutions can facilitate management and coordination." Xu Yidao. "As for what's good for me... you might as well ask me how bad it is for Earl Stark."
"Bad to Earl Stark?" President Cruise was puzzled. "What's wrong with him? There's nothing wrong with him doing this. Even if Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny supports you, it's impossible for him to be dealt with because of this matter, so what else can he lose? Can't it?"
"There are some losses that cannot be seen on the surface." Xu Yi showed a meaningful smile, but did not intend to continue to explain to President Cruise, but paused, immediately changed the subject and asked: "Okay, these issues will be discussed later. Let's discuss what your chamber of commerce should do next."
"What is there to do?" As soon as the matter of the Amli Chamber of Commerce was mentioned, President Cruise immediately became angry and sneered: "Our esteemed new city lord claims to be doing an investigation and ordered our Chamber of Commerce to be in the city. All projects outside the city must be stopped first, and construction is not allowed. A bunch of people in our chamber of commerce have been idle at home for a few days and have nothing to do! Looking at this, you might not even think about starting work in the future!"
"Isn't that right?" Xu Yi laughed instead. "Don't you keep saying that there is a shortage of manpower, and many things you want to do can't be done. Now that work here is forced to stop, then you can take these free manpower to other places. It's not easy to want to work? I now have a lot of projects for your chamber of commerce to do."
President Cruise sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm not worried that the Chamber of Commerce will have no business, but I'm worried that if this continues, the foundation of our Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City will be destroyed. Our Amley Chamber of Commerce is in Bangta City was founded and has been growing in Bangta City. If Earl Stark insists on this approach, I am afraid I have to consider moving our Amri Chamber of Commerce out of Bangta City like you."
"What? You have this idea too?" Xu Yi was slightly surprised.
He thought that President Cruise did not have an irresolvable conflict with Count Stark like himself, and he would definitely not simply decide to move the entire New Flying Chamber of Commerce out of Bangta City as he did to get rid of Count Stark. influence and control.
But he didn't expect that President Cruise not only advanced and retreated with him at the joint meeting of the Business Federation, but now he has made the same choice as himself on such a major event.
"Of course, if there is any possibility, I am not willing to relocate our Amli Chamber of Commerce. But from what I have seen so far, I am afraid there is little hope for this." President Cruise looked at Xu Yi, With a wry smile, "Judging from the attitude of our new city lord, he should have classified me as being with you. He will not let you go, and of course he will not let me go."
Xu Yi patted President Cruise on the shoulder and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you involved."
President Cruise laughed and shook his head vigorously: "What are you talking about. If we hadn't started cooperation with you, how could the Amley Chamber of Commerce have grown to the size it is now in such a short period of time? Because of you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , I realized the dream of developing the Amli Chamber of Commerce into the largest chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom. I can only be grateful to you, how can I feel that I am implicated by you?"
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, then I won't say more meaningless words. In short, since you choose to advance and retreat with me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then we will maintain this cooperative relationship in the future. Don't worry, I am confident that as long as you continue to cooperate with me, the Amri Chamber of Commerce will not only become the largest chamber of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, but also the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz Continent!"
President Cruise laughed when he grew up: "Of course I have confidence in you. But Xu Yi, before that, do you think of a way to make the new flight merchants survive well? Otherwise, all these words have nothing to do with it. meaningful."
Xu Yi smiled, glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Let the new city lord continue to perform. I don't think he knows that such a performance is actually a script I wrote for him a long time ago." (To be continued...)
