Chapter 61 The Middle Class
No matter what kind of answer Count Stark wanted to get, Xu Yi did not give him any affirmative answer.
This is Xu Yi's response in the first place. Even if he really supports Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, on the bright side, it is absolutely impossible to express distrust and any negative opinion to Her Royal Highness Prince Eric, because it is disrespectful in the first place.
What's more, even if Earl Stark pretended to have a sincere conversation with Xu Yi, Xu Yi couldn't really believe that he, a stubborn conservative who belonged to the Stark family, would have any real feelings for him. reveal.
After all, the two have different positions, and it is not only their own thoughts that determine all their actions.
Especially someone like Earl Stark who represents the attitude of the Stark family, maybe every word he says and every question he asks has the intention of the Stark family.
Therefore, Xu Yi neither affirmed nor denied this question, but only vaguely stated that he had never even seen His Royal Highness Prince Eric, and he had absolutely no understanding of it.
Earl Stark seemed very disappointed with the answer given by Xu Yi, but he felt relieved. He did not ask any more questions, but then asked some questions about Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The general planning plan ended the conversation. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he could not have missed anything from Earl Stark, so after just thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up and continued to think about this issue.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Yi went straight to Philson's carriage shop and found President Pomperi who was drinking tea in his office as he was accustomed to.
President Pomperi was probably happy when he saw Xu Yi. Originally, I wanted to invite Xu Yi to sit and enjoy tea together, but after Xu Yi left a sentence, he immediately jumped up with agile movements that did not match his body.
"What? The magic locomotive has been successfully developed?" President Pomperi looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes, his face full of shock and joy. "Really? Where is it? Take me to see it!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly and hooked up to President Pomperi. President Pompey immediately followed behind him with a smile.
However, Xu Yi didn't take President Pomperi back to the research and development site of the magic locomotive in the Valley of the Rain for the first time. Instead, they first came to the clear water and blue sky commercial and residential community under development and construction by the Amley Chamber of Commerce by the Sandy River.
This is a commercial and residential area developed along the banks of the Sandy River, which has been renovated on the river bank, and the overall environment has become extremely clean and tidy. All of them are small villas built according to the concept of the modern magic house of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. For ordinary people. This concept is not only very novel, but also extremely practical and convenient.
Therefore, even though the Amli Chamber of Commerce set the price of each small building at a high price of 8,000 gold coins, it still sold nearly 100 buildings in just two months, accounting for almost half of the entire community.
It is precisely because of this situation that President Cruise is even more admired by Xu Yi.
At the beginning, he also thought that because of the high cost of such a new concept magic house living community, the price must be very high, and not many people should be able to afford it.
And those who are really rich don't look down on such small buildings. So the sales are going to be bad.
However, during the actual sale, Xu Yi abruptly asked President Cruise to raise his previous price of 5,000 gold coins to 8,000 gold coins.
Then after the start of sales, the sales situation exceeded President Cruise's expectations.
The sale of the nearly 100 small buildings alone is enough for the Amri Chamber of Commerce to earn more than 200,000 gold coins in addition to recovering the cost.
If all the planned communities are sold, Amli merchants can even earn huge profits of at least 500,000 gold coins!
In this case. Although President Cruise had heard Xu Yi give him an analysis, he had always been very puzzled.
Because in his opinion, the commoners in Bangta City are either very poor and can't afford any houses at all, or they are very rich and will simply buy their own manor.
This kind of poor housing should be ignored by no one.
Xu Yi told him that in fact, some so-called "middle class" have appeared in Bangta City. These people have to say that they are extremely rich, but it is not right to say that they are poor.
Such an outrageous house that is clearly distinguished from ordinary civilians, but not as expensive as those manors, can just meet the needs of these people.
The facts also proved Xu Yi's judgment.
President Cruise also has a wide range of contacts in Bangta City, but in the end, the people who spent the money to buy these new concept magic commodity houses are ordinary people in Bangta City who have no impression at all.
If he had to say it, he probably only knew one of them, and that was Kovacs, the vice-chairman of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that Kovacs, who was just an ordinary farmer in an Irish village more than two years ago, suddenly took out ten golden tickets with a denomination of 1,000 gold coins and asked to sell him a small building at the location of his choice, Cruise, The president almost dropped his jaw in surprise.
Since when, even an ordinary peasant who was never in his eyes before can take out a full 10,000 gold coins in one go?
When President Cruise conveyed his thoughts to Xu Yi, he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Xu Yi.
The United Irish Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the past two years, and now it has become the leading industry of all parts processing companies in Bangta City. In the past six months, it has stepped into the ranks of producing complete magic machinery.
For example, the Irish brand magic kettle, which was just launched this year, has taken away a lot of the market in Bangta City from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of its high quality and low price.
According to Xu Yi's estimate, the monthly profit of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce is now more than 20,000 gold coins.
Then, as the vice-chairman of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, and also the largest shareholder after Freeman, it is not surprising that Kovacs took out 10,000 gold coins in one go.
President Cruise expressed his astonishment at this, but at the same time he sighed why Xu Yi wanted to raise tigers.
Now that I know the potential of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce is good. So why not prevent it in advance, and they will take the market away from their own name?
Xu Yi smiled without saying a word, and did not explain.
Of course he wouldn't tell President Cruise, this was actually the result of his deliberate push.
Otherwise, he has a good chance of killing the United Irish Chamber of Commerce directly in the bud.
However, this can indeed be regarded as a nuisance for raising tigers. Xu also had no way to refute President Cruise.
"Hey. President Xu, you said... Should I also open a dedicated bus line here?" President Pomperi's voice pulled Xu Yi back from the memory of seeing the clear water and blue sky in front of him. . "Look, the environment here is so good now. There will definitely be many people who come here to play when they have nothing to do. Although it is not far from Bangta City, it takes at least half an hour to come here, and it is also not close. .If a dedicated bus line is opened, I believe many people will take it.”…
Xu Yi glanced at President Pomperi with contempt, thinking that you might be able to make a difference.
"Although it's not bad to open one. But at most, this can only be used as a public welfare. If you want to make money from this, don't think about it." Xu Yi shook his head and said. "Although this place is a long way to come, don't forget, President Pompely, there are bicycles now. If you come here by bicycle, it will only take ten minutes at most."
Hearing Xu Yi mentioning the bicycle, President Pomberg immediately gave Xu Yi a sad look on his face. With a sad face, he said: "I said President Xu, can you not mention the damn bicycle? It's because your new flying chamber of commerce has developed a bicycle, and as a result, many people don't ride horse-drawn carriages now. There are even many people from our Bangta. They go to Kalmar or Saltan by bicycle. I really don't understand, it's six or seventy kilometers, and they would rather go by bicycle than by horse-drawn carriage!"
"Of course. Because riding a bicycle doesn't cost money." There was a burst of laughter behind him, but it was President Cruise who had been notified. "Besides, riding a bicycle is no slower than riding a carriage, so why spend money?"
"Hmph, at least it's comfortable to ride in the carriage." President Pomperi glared at President Cruise, then turned to look at Xu Yi, his fat face full of smiles. "But when President Xu's magic locomotive appears, I think everyone will choose to come back to ride our magic locomotive again. Are you right, President Xu?"
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi, hehe said with a smile: "I heard President Xu mention this thing last year, but I didn't expect it to be really developed until now. I want to take a closer look to see if this thing is so good. Amazing, it actually made me wait for it for more than a year."
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile, and greeted the two of them to get into President Pomperi's extremely luxurious private carriage, and drove quickly towards the Falling Rain Valley.
When the carriage started, Xu Yi took out a map of the Kingdom of Lampari from his arms, spread it out in front of the two of them, and said earnestly to the two who were puzzled: "This time I made a special trip to find the two of you to visit the magic locomotive. The first official delivery, in addition to showing you the performance and advantages of the magic locomotive far surpassing the carriage, there is also a very important proposal that requires the cooperation of the two chambers of commerce. If the cooperation is good, this cooperation will most likely give you Both chambers of commerce have brought huge profits beyond your imagination."
President Cruise and President Pomberg glanced at each other, and both saw the gleam in each other's eyeballs, and then nodded to Xu Yi at the same time: "Tell me."
Seeing the expectant expressions on their faces, Xu Yi smiled, pointed to a red line on the map representing the road from Bangta City to Anweimar City, and said solemnly, "This cooperation is actually a Philson car. Mahang has done some things before, but there is no systematic thing. I summed it up, in fact, it is to move materials to various places for circulation conversion, which is referred to as logistics. "
