Chapter 75 The Standards Controversy

The plan of Admiral Landis, as Xu Yi guessed, is to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, obtain support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of military magic machinery, and then invade the Kingdom of Sark and seize a piece of territory from the Kingdom of Sark. Then give the mineral resources in this territory to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as compensation for purchasing these military magic machines.

This idea is obviously too crazy.

First of all, the national strength of the Kingdom of Sac surpasses that of the Kingdom of Lampari. In the history of the king for hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Sac has always suppressed the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Kingdom of Lampari just barely supported it and tried its best not to be defeated. The Sark Kingdom invaded.

Under such circumstances, Admiral Landis told Xu Yi that he wanted to use the mineral resources in the territory of the Kingdom of Sark as payment, which was simply more ridiculous than drawing cakes to satisfy one's hunger.

If the territory of the Thrall Kingdom was so easily invaded, how could the Lampari Kingdom have been bullied by the Sark Kingdom for so many years.

Secondly, even if the national strengths of the two countries are similar, the Zhenxi Army ;; .+. With the support of enough military magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed capable of invading the Kingdom of Sark and snatching this large piece of territory from the Kingdom of Sark as it wishes , but Zhenxi Army's practice is undoubtedly a great taboo. The military department of the Lampari Kingdom may allow the Zhenxi Army to purchase military magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to improve the combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army, but it is absolutely impossible for the military department to allow the Zhenxi Army to invade the Sark Kingdom on their own initiative.

Because this is equivalent to actively provoking a war between the two countries, and in the current situation where the Lampari Kingdom is not stable internally, and even a civil war is very likely to break out, no matter whether it is the military. Or other high-level people in the kingdom. Absolutely unwilling to take the initiative to provoke the Kingdom of Lampari again.

Putting these two main issues aside. There is also a very realistic but very important problem, that is, the current production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot meet the needs of the Zhenxi Army at all.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been researching military magic machinery for nearly three years, because of Xu Yi's deep-seated resistance, the investment has not been particularly large until the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce moved to the Principality of Standing. It is really beginning to fully develop the research and development investment in military magic machinery, and gradually increase the production scale.

Take the current production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In addition to being able to meet the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and several other cooperating chambers of commerce, the orders for military magic machinery put forward by many lords in the Duchy of Standing were unable to fully meet the orders. Huge demand of up to 30,000 sergeants. Besides, even if all these problems really do not exist, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces enough military magic machines to fully arm the Zhenxi Army, but the Zhenxi Army can really complete this plan smoothly, or Randy Will the admiral truly implement this plan with all his strength?

Xu Yi was very suspicious of this.

After listening to Admiral Landis' enthusiastic description of the grand plan in his mind, Xu Yi pondered for a while, and slowly shook his head at Admiral Landis.

Other aspects of the concern in the heart obviously cannot be directly expressed. Xu Yi mainly focused on the lack of production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which could not meet the needs of the Zhenxi Army. Said that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was unable to undertake such a huge order.

Admiral Landis smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I never thought that I could equip the entire Zhenxi Army's 30,000 brothers at one time, as long as I do it a little bit, I will be able to equip them all slowly. "

Xu Yi forced a smile.

According to the standards of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it would cost at least a hundred gold coins to fully equip a soldier.

And this does not include other military magic machines equipped with magic trebuchets, magic bazookas, magic armored transport vehicles, etc.

If the Zhenxi Army is fully equipped according to this standard, the minimum investment will be more than 10 million gold coins.

Including the usual training consumption, it will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, or even more, every year.

Such a huge consumption, let alone the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to sustain it, even the entire Lampari Kingdom cannot sustain it.

Besides, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really spend so much money, why not invest in the guards of its own chamber of commerce, but throw it on the unrelated Zhenxi Army?

Xu Yi had already closed the door of this cooperation in his heart, but seeing Admiral Landis's eyes full of expectation and enthusiasm, and at the same time, because he was concerned about the huge influence of the Zhenxi Army on the Black Rice Wasteland, he He didn't immediately refuse, but thought about it for a while before speaking.

"Admiral, how about this? Since you have never thought about fully equipping the Zhenxi Army at once, and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not have the ability to do this, then we might as well extend the cooperation between the two parties and divide it into two parts." More batches, to be solved little by little. What do you think of this? The first batch, our chamber of commerce will let the Zhenxi army provide..."

###

After leaving the Zhenxi army camp and getting into the magic car, Xu Yi started the magic car and drove out of the camp. The smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he let out a wry smile.

According to the negotiation between him and Admiral Landis just now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide Zhenxi Army with 500 magic repeating crossbows, ten medium-sized magic trebuchets, 1,000 sets of weapons and armor, One hundred individual magic bazookas and five magic armored vehicles.

The total value of these things is close to 200,000 gold coins, but the price the Zhenxi Army paid for it was only two promises from Admiral Landis.

Admiral Landis promised that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will receive the full support of Zhenxi Army in the future, and no matter what Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to do on the Black Rice Wasteland, it can get the help of Zhenxi Army.

Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to do something in the Duchy of Standing, the Zhenxi Army will also support it.

At the same time, if the Zhenxi Army can successfully invade the Sak Kingdom, then Admiral Landis will hand over all the mineral resources in all the captured territories to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce according to the plan.

The latter promise about the Kingdom of Sark Xu Yi just regarded it as non-existent, but Xu Yi was more satisfied with the former promise.

With the support of the Zhenxi Army, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gain the absolute right to speak in the Black Rice Wasteland. It is extremely beneficial to the development plan of the entire Black Rice Wasteland of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The situation within the Principality of Standing was even more chaotic. If you can get the support of Zhenxi Army. This will greatly increase the security of the territory obtained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yixin.

To put it bluntly, this nearly 200,000 gold coins of military magical mechanical supplies is equivalent to the protection fee that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce handed over to the Zhenxi Army.

Although a little expensive, it is very practical.

Of course, Xu Yi was very dissatisfied with this situation.

He very much hopes that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will no longer be affected by anyone and forces, and develop smoothly.

However, the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not strong enough now, and many times it has to compromise.

And this kind of compromise is often not only in the military, but also in the commercial field.

After leaving the Zhenxi army camp. Xu Yi drove the magic car back to Black Rice City without any rest, and directly called representatives of various chambers of commerce in Black Rice City to hold a joint meeting of the Black Rice City Chamber of Commerce.

At this meeting, there was only one topic of discussion, and that was to clarify standards.

When all the chambers of commerce were still in Bangta City, because of the undisputed dominance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, almost all standards for the magic industry were determined and promoted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and other chambers of commerce could only follow this standard. .

With the subsequent changes in the situation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now withdrawn from the Lampari Kingdom. At present, the Magic Industry Management Agency, which almost single-handedly controls all the magic industries in the Lampari Kingdom, has re-enacted a set of rules that are completely different from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. standard. And it is required whether it is a magic machine produced within the Lampari Kingdom or produced elsewhere. All magical machines brought into the Lampari Kingdom for sale must be implemented in accordance with this standard, otherwise they will not be approved for sale.

The practice of the Magic Industry Management Agency has caused a great impact in the Lampari Kingdom, and it has also had an equally huge impact on the various chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery in the Black Rice Wasteland.

Although most of these chambers of commerce have all withdrawn from the Kingdom of Lampari, for many chambers of commerce, their main market is still in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the main target of the magic machines they produce is still Lanpali. Residents of the Parry Kingdom.

Now the Lampari Kingdom Magic Industry Management Bureau has introduced a new standard, forcing these chambers of commerce to either abide by this standard, or they can only be forced to abandon the Lampari Kingdom, a relatively mature market that has been cultivated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But it is not so easy to completely change the standard. For many chambers of commerce, this is equivalent to overthrowing the previous foundation and starting over. For many chambers of commerce that are not particularly strong, it is tantamount to extinction disaster.

However, if the standards are not changed, they will only lose the main market of the Lampari Kingdom, which is still a dead end for these chambers of commerce.

In desperation, the chambers of commerce could only turn their attention to the Xinfei chamber of commerce for help.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to comply with the regulations of the Lampari Kingdom's Magical Industry Management Agency and assist their less powerful chambers of commerce to make changes to the entire production line, then they may survive this crisis.

However, Xu Yi only had one comment on their thoughts.

"Stupid!" Xu Yi had never shown such a stern expression in front of these people, and his tone was rarely so serious and low. "Do you really think that those guys will let you go as long as you change the standard? Didn't you understand what happened in Bangta City before? Those greedy guys simply want to drive everyone except them away." Get out of the Lampari Kingdom!"

A bunch of Chamber of Commerce representatives sitting in the conference room looked at each other with helpless expressions.

"President Xu, we also understand this, but there is nothing we can do about it."

"Yeah, President Xu, it's not that difficult for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to change the standard. You only need to adjust the magic machine tool equipment. I think it should be able to meet the regulations of the Magic Industry Administration. It's okay, right? many words"

...

Looking at the people who were still taking chances, Xu Yi sneered and shook his head.

"No, your understanding of standards is too shallow. Let me tell you, the battle for standards is actually a battle of life and death. Once we obey the new standards proposed by the Magic Industry Administration this time, all of us will have to be ruled by the Magic Industry Administration. For the sake of playing with the palm of your hand. Even our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no room to resist, which one of your chambers of commerce do you think can be stronger than us?"

Everyone was silent, and after a while, a representative of the Chamber of Commerce asked Xu Yi: "Then... President Xu, do you have any solution?".

Facing the hopeful eyes cast by everyone, Xu Yi smiled and replied: "It's very simple. Since those guys in the Lampari Kingdom don't want us to continue to intervene in the Lampari Kingdom's market, then we will abandon this market. "

"How about that? Ninety percent of the products produced by our Chamber of Commerce are sold to the Lampari Kingdom. Abandoning this market, aren't we just waiting to die?".

"Yeah, so are we."

"So do we."

...

"Don't forget, at this time last year, except for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, 10% of all the products produced by your chambers of commerce were sold within the Lampari Kingdom, but now some of them have been sold. to other regions."

Xu Yi showed a confident smile.

"Believe me, abandoning the market of the Lampari Kingdom may make you uncomfortable for a while, but you can take this opportunity to usher in a much broader market. And it won't take long, I'm sure, the Lampari Kingdom If the film market is not available, it will take the initiative to open it up to us again.”
