Chapter 41 Privileges
(Inexplicably disconnected from the Internet for a day, sad reminder...)
—————————
Seeing Xu Yi again, Patriarch Wei Lun's chubby face almost burst into laughter, where can't see the appearance of secretly instructing the workers to make trouble.
"President Xu, are you planning to officially open the fruit canning factory and the rubber processing factory this time?" Patriarch Weilun asked with a smile.
Xu Yi nodded lightly: "Well, this time I have brought a group of personnel and equipment, ready to officially start construction. This time I came to find Patriarch Weilun, just to discuss something with you."
"President Xu, please tell me. As long as I can help, it's absolutely fine." Patriarch Wei Lun said loudly, patting his chest that was much plumper than the maid next to him.
"It's not too much trouble." Xu Yi smiled. "Patriarch Wei Lun, the fruit canning factory has nothing to say, but since rubber processing requires the participation of elves, there should be a lot of elves workers in this rubber processing factory. I hope you can accept them in advance. mental preparation."
Patriarch Wei Lun was startled: "Workers of the elves? No way? When will the elves go to work in our human factories?"
"Didn't Cantona usually mention it to you?" Xu Yi was a little strange. "Our New Flying Chamber of Commerce has hired elven workers a long time ago. This is not unusual."
"They never mentioned it to me." Patriarch Wei Lun shook his head and looked at Xu Yi with a strange expression. "President Xu, you are really good at convincing those arrogant elves to work in your factory, and they are willing to accept the command and leadership of you, a human being?"
"It can't be regarded as accepting my command and leadership, it can only be regarded as a kind of cooperation, everyone gets what they need." Xu Yi shook his head and said. "For example, the magic circle technology required for rubber processing. At present, only the magic of the elves can do the job, so if you want to process rubber, you can't do without the elves. We need the technology of the elves, and the elves need to pass the elves in our chamber of commerce. Work to obtain some material conditions. For now, the two sides are working together quite happily.”
"Oh, it sounds pretty good." Patriarch Wei Lun nodded with a vague understanding. "Then this rubber factory. Will you hire the elves of the Moonshade tribe of our Standing Principality?"
"It's not confirmed yet. I'm here this time to discuss with the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe." Xu Yidao. "But in order not to delay the progress, this rubber processing plant will be opened first. At the same time, rubber collection needs to be carried out in advance to ensure that there is enough rubber for processing after the official start of construction. Patriarch Weilun, regarding the acquisition of rubber , I hope you can come forward to help."
The smile on Patriarch Wei Lun's face became even stronger.
Xu Yi's words made it clear that he would be responsible for all rubber procurement. There are huge profits here.
"President Xu, let me ask you one more question, at what price is your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce going to buy these rubbers?" asked Patriarch Weilun.
"Well... Specifically, it depends on the quality of the rubber, but in general our tentative price is 20 gold coins per ton. What does Patriarch Weilun think about this price? Do you have any comments?" Xu Yi asked back.
"No, no, this price is very suitable! I have no opinion!" Patriarch Wei Lun couldn't help laughing loudly, and the laughter revealed undisguised pride and ecstasy.
Rubber trees can be seen almost everywhere in the Principality of Standing, and the rubber produced is usually left alone and almost completely wasted.
Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is willing to use a high price of twenty gold coins per ton to buy this kind of thing that is indistinguishable from garbage in the eyes of Patriarch Wei Lun, it is like a pie that fell from the sky. How could he not be ecstatic about it.
"President Xu, please rest assured, I will immediately organize manpower to collect rubber to ensure that the rubber processing factory has enough stock to use when it officially starts!" After a pause. Patriarch Weilun asked again: "But President Xu, how many tons of rubber can your rubber processing factory use every month? If you pick too much, you won't be able to use it..."
"You don't have to worry about this, you just organize the collection, and we buy as much as we have." Xu Yi affirmed.
Patriarch Wei Lun was overjoyed again. According to his estimation, if only the banana trees in his territory were fully collected, thousands of tons of rubber could be collected every month. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce adopted all of them, then Patriarch Wei Lun will therefore start with a full 20,000 gold coins.
After a year. This is another income of more than 200,000 gold coins.
Add the rent of the 100,000 hectares of land, and the grain delivered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the salaries from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce handed in by local workers, Patriarch Wei Lun made a rough calculation. I can get a huge income of more than 700,000 gold coins from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every year!
Before that, although Patriarch Weilun was the largest noble lord in the north of the Principality of Standing, and ruled a large territory in the north of the Principality of Standing that almost reached a quarter of the territory of the Principality of Standing, the annual income was only 30%. Just for ten thousand gold coins.
Now we just bring in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for investment and construction, and the annual income has soared by a factor of two!
As a result, Patriarch Wei Lun looked at Xu Yi with a very warm and friendly look, and even made Xu Yi feel a little creepy when he looked at him.
Xu Yi shook his shoulders involuntarily, slightly avoiding Patriarch Wei Lun's affectionate gaze that seemed to be looking at his beloved, and continued: "Patriarch Wei Lun, in addition to this, there is one more thing that needs your help."
"Please tell me, no matter what it is, I will promise you." Patriarch Wei Lun said with a smile.
"A few days ago, there was a serious conflict between the workers on the farm, mainly between the workers in our kingdom of Lampari and the local workers here. I have asked Cantona to confront the workers of our kingdom of Lampari. They have been restrained and educated, and then I hope that you, Patriarch Wei Lun, can come forward and appease your local workers."
"Appease?" Patriarch Wei Lun shook his head again and again. "Do you still need to use such polite words for these bastards? President Xu, if you see which of them is unhappy, just teach them a lesson. Don't worry, they will never dare to resist."
"I didn't mean that." Xu Yi shook his head. "It doesn't make any sense to me to teach them a lesson. I just hope that they understand one truth. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is here for investment and cooperation. If everyone works with peace of mind and cooperates well, then it will be beneficial to both of us. But if always If there is trouble, then maybe it will make me lose confidence in going here and give up my plan to invest here. I think this will not only be a loss to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it should also be a huge loss to Patriarch Wei Lun and you. ."
The last sentence. Xu Yi was staring at Patriarch Wei Lun's eyes and said with a serious expression.
An embarrassed look flashed across Patriarch Wei Lun's face, Xu Yi was warning the local workers on the surface, but it was not a warning to him.
As Xu Yi said, if Xu Yi is dissatisfied and loses confidence in this place, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will fully withdraw its capital, and the one who suffers the most will definitely be Patriarch Weilun. To be more precise, it was Patriarch Wei Lun himself.
Now he can expect to get a huge annual income of more than 700,000 gold coins from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce withdraws and makes him lose such a big profit all of a sudden, then Patriarch Wei Lun will not accept it anyway.
Therefore, although he was a little dissatisfied with Xu Yi's daring to confront him with warnings and even threats, Patriarch Wei Lun still nodded with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, President Xu, I will definitely teach those bastards a good lesson. Guarantee, they will never make trouble again in the future!"
"Okay, I believe in Patriarch Wei Lun's ability." Xu Yi's serious expression eased. He smiled and said: "Patriarch Weilun, I have another good news for you. After knowing that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested in the Principality of Standing, there are many chambers of commerce in Bangta City who have also revealed their willingness to invest here. So I It is suggested that Patriarch Wei Lun should think about how to improve the environment here. Strengthen their confidence in investing here."
"There are other chambers of commerce coming? This one is good!" Patriarch Wei Lun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Then President Xu, what you said... to improve the environment here, what should we do? "
"It's actually very simple. First of all, we must start by improving the traffic environment..."
Xu Yi seemed to have returned to the time when Earl Summer was still serving as the lord of Bangta City, and he made suggestions for the overall planning of Bangta City.
Of course, compared to the daring and far-sighted Earl of Summer, Patriarch Wei Lun, the fat man, was nothing at all.
But he has an advantage. That is, as long as you make sure you have money, you can let it go completely. No matter what Xu Yi said, he would just nod his head.
Patriarch Weilun has no objection at all to the proposed plan to comprehensively improve the environment in the Weilun Patriarch's territory. In the end, he even said that Xu Yi can do whatever he wants, and he fully supports it.
However... When Xu Yi suggested that he should come out with the cost of improving the investment environment, Patriarch Wei Lun's face jumped with fat, and his expression immediately became extremely embarrassed.
"This... President Xu, according to your estimate, how much gold will it cost to complete this renovation plan?"
Xu Yi glanced at him and stretched out two fingers: "The initial budget is two million gold coins."
"What? Two million gold coins?" Hearing this number, Patriarch Wei Lun jumped high with a completely reasonable agility, his face full of disbelief. "No, no, it's impossible! President Xu, you must have made a mistake! It's just building a few roads and leveling the road, how can you need two million gold coins? According to me, it costs two hundred thousand. Gold coins are great!"
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that this fat, greedy and lustful fat man really wished he wouldn't even give out a single copper coin.
This was expected before he came, so it was not surprising, he continued to smile and said: "Patriarch Wei Lun, if you don't want to pay the money yourself, it's fine, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce can cover all the expenses."
Patriarch Wei Lun was overjoyed at first, then glanced at Xu Yi vigilantly: "President Xu, this is a full two million gold coins, are you sure that your new flying merchants will be all-inclusive? You...do you need me to do something? ?"
"I don't need you to do anything, I just need your approval to give us a privilege to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled. (To be continued)
