Chapter 88 Happy Cooperation
Facts have proved that King Trutz's support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has never been a verbal commitment.
In the series of negotiations between Xu Yi on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Luerxun Kingdom, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has obtained great convenience. The major organizations in the Luerxun Kingdom have almost no request for any request from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Unreserved support, which is obviously a special instruction from King Trutz.
After only staying in Luerson Kingdom for half a month, Xu Yi finally signed three major cooperation agreements with Luerson Kingdom on behalf of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
First, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and five cities in the Luerxun Kingdom have launched direct cooperation to jointly establish 20 household magic power machinery factories in these five cities. The product line covers all types of household magic power currently produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. mechanical.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide financial and technical support, and the Luerxun Kingdom will provide preferential support in terms of land and policies. In the end, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will occupy 70% advantage, and has absolute control over these twenty factories.
But correspondingly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to disclose the technology to the Luerson Kingdom, and only local workers from the Luerson Kingdom were allowed to be recruited in these 20 factories, while the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provided technical personnel. At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must also undertake the task of training the workers of the Luerxun Kingdom on the skills related to the manufacture of magic machinery, so an additional vocational skills training academy for magic machinery will be opened in Kulaka City.
The Magic Machinery Vocational Skills Training Academy is completely controlled by the Luerxun Kingdom. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides information and technical support, and the rest does not need to be involved.
second. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has reached an agreement with Nixi City, the southernmost seaport city of the Luerxun Kingdom. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will invest in a substantial expansion of the existing port in Nixi City.
After the port is built. Nominally all the money in this port belongs to Nixi City, and Nixi City also has absolute jurisdiction, but Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has absolute priority to use seven of the ten wharves in the completed port, as long as Xinfei Chamber of Commerce When a ship arrives, other ships must make way for it.
Although it was not expressly stated in the agreement, according to private discussions between Xu Yi and the owner of Nixi City, Nixi City will keep two piers vacant at any time for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to use at any time.
When Xu Yi was discussing the agreement with the City Lord of Nixi City. The owner of Nixi City was very puzzled by Xu Yi's insistence on making this private agreement. King Trutz specifically issued instructions to Nixi City. Although Nixi City was required to fully cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and try to meet the requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he emphasized that the sovereignty of the port must be preserved in the hands of the Kingdom of Rulson.
Xu Yi's prompting is already a bit of a side-ball, and if His Majesty the King investigates this matter, it is likely to come to naught.
However, under the gold coin offensive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the lord of Nixi City finally chose to agree to Xu Yi's request.
Anyway, doing so still retains the sovereignty of the port, and it only needs to be manipulated during the actual operation.
Moreover, although Nixi City is the largest seaport city in the southern part of the Rulson Kingdom, it is almost equivalent to the Seanes Continent where there is no sea transportation. Nixi City, a seaport city, actually doesn't have a few ships docking in a year.
The owner of Nixi City actually didn't understand that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spent three million gold coins in one go to build such a large port.
Even King Trutz is very supportive of the proposal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But it is only based on the idea that the construction of the port is only good for the Luerxun Kingdom, but there is no harm. It is also impossible to understand why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce insists on doing so.
The third major cooperation agreement is not only related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In this agreement, Xu Yi’s request on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is to request that the Kingdom of Luerson open customs inspections to more than 30 chambers of commerce, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In other words, it is to open the Kingdom of Luerson The internal market allows the goods of these more than 30 chambers of commerce to enter and circulate in the Kingdom of Luerson more freely.
These more than 30 chambers of commerce, of course, are the magic machinery chambers of commerce that had previously developed in Bangta City and followed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Black Rice Wasteland.
It should be said that the last agreement is the one that Xu Yi values most.
He was not worried that the Luerson Kingdom would not cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but that the Luerson Kingdom would reject these other chambers of commerce in order to protect the development of its own magic industry.
However, Xu Yi underestimated King Trutz's courage. After hearing Xu Yi's request, King Trutz only took three days to make a decision to comprehensively punish the more than 30 companies including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The chambers of commerce opened up customs inspections, and implemented special preferential policies for the products of these more than 30 chambers of commerce entering the Kingdom of Luerson, and made every effort to ensure the normal circulation of these commodities.
However, King Trutz also put forward strict regulations on this. Except for the total of thirty-six chambers of commerce indicated in this agreement, the Rulson Kingdom will not accept any new chambers of commerce in the future.
At the same time, King Trutz also demanded that the thirty-five chambers of commerce in addition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must also, like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, build at least two joint ventures with cities across the Rulson Kingdom.
Xu Yi naturally agreed to this request.
Now because the other chambers of commerce have lost the largest market of the Lampari Kingdom, they can only rely on the three immature and small-scale markets of the Duchy of Drake, the Duchy of Mirando, and the Duchy of Standing. It has been very difficult.
Now that the Rulson Kingdom is willing to open the market to them, it is tantamount to saving them from fire and water.
Moreover, the cooperation model between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Luerxun Kingdom is actually more beneficial to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of pure income. How could the other thirty-five chambers of commerce disagree.
In addition to these three most important agreements involving many things, Xu Yi also reached some smaller agreements on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Rulson.
For example, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with the Luerxun Kingdom Magic Senate to jointly develop some technologies related to magic machinery.
For example, the Luerson Kingdom will find some dwarf tribes in the Luerson Kingdom in accordance with the requirements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, try to find the elves tribe. Get in touch with it. Then let Xinfei Chamber of Commerce try its best to recruit.
Let's say...
...
In short, after half a month, when Xu Yi and Kennard attended the special banquet set up by King Trutz and left Kulaka City under the farewell of Newman, both of them were very excited about this trip to the Kingdom of Rulson. Very satisfied.
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at Kulaka City, which had been left behind from the rear window of the magic car, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have to say, in terms of vision, courage, foresight and action. King Ci is even much stronger than His Majesty Lampari XIII, let alone King Eric."
Kennard beside him smiled wryly and shook his head: "There is no way, King Eric has not shown any outstanding abilities before, His Majesty Lampari XIII's original favorite heir is Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny. And he Now that he is the king, the Stark family is fully controlling the kingdom of Lampari, even if he wants to do anything, he can't do it."
Xu Yi snorted: "If the Lampari Kingdom continues to be tossed by those guys, I think the situation will only get worse. Although the rebellion in Colebo City has subsided before, judging from various information, The situation within the Kingdom of Lampari has already collapsed. I am afraid that as long as there is a carelessness, civil strife is very likely."...
Kennard pondered for a moment. Shaking his head slightly: "That's not necessarily true. Chairman, do you know how the rebellion in Colebo City was quelled?".
"I heard that the lord of Colebo City surrendered voluntarily. Is that so?".
"It's true that he voluntarily surrendered, but the reason why he chose to voluntarily surrender was actually because King Eric stopped the kingdom's garrison that Duke Stark had sent out, and expressed his resoluteness in not allowing civil war in the kingdom, and demanded a peaceful solution. This matter. Later, after King Eric made a promise not to pursue it, the lord of Colebo City chose to surrender voluntarily."
"Promise?" Xu Yi had a strange expression on his face and couldn't help shaking his head. "The lord of Colebo City is not a three-year-old child, he would actually believe this promise?"
Kennard smiled slightly: "My lord, King Eric is a public promise made by the double identity of king and nobleman. If he breaks the promise, it will be a very serious blow to his prestige, so it is not very It is impossible for him to break his promise when necessary."
"The fact is also true. Now that the rebellion in Colebo City has subsided, King Eric really has no intention of pursuing this matter. Besides, the rebellion in Colebo City is actually just the nobles in the kingdom who are against the Stark family. A signal given, now that King Eric has given the response they hoped for, everyone will naturally stop looking for trouble."
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that King Eric is suppressing the Stark family? Does the Stark family have no response to this?".
"At least the Stark family has not expressed any opinion on this matter. Duke Stark not only obeyed the order to recall the second army of the kingdom's garrison that was about to attack Colebo City, but also publicly stated afterwards that Lampari Stability within the kingdom is above all else, and the Stark family will fully support King Eric's decisions."
Having said that, Kennard suddenly became excited.
"Do you know? Sir, King Eric is now much more diligent than before. He not only began to actively express his opinions on various government affairs in the kingdom, but also acted very tough, rejecting several of Duke Stark's proposals." This proposal has gradually begun to show the majesty and courage that a king should have. I think as long as he continues to maintain it, our Lampari Kingdom is still very hopeful to continue to become stronger."
Seeing Kennard's joyful smile, Xu Yi didn't have any thoughts of approval in his heart.
First of all, he is a person who traveled from the earth after all, and he doesn't have much sense of identity with the Lampari Kingdom itself. Naturally, he will not be as happy as Kennard for the good changes in the Lampari Kingdom.
Second, he is not optimistic about the transformation of the so-called King Eric.
If he really had this ability and courage, how could the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be squeezed out of the Lampari Kingdom?
If he can have absolute control over the Lampari Kingdom like King Trutz, and also support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then the total amount involved in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Luerson Kingdom will even exceed one thousand The investment of 10,000 gold coins will be placed in the Lampari Kingdom, which will obviously be of great help to the development of the Lampari Kingdom.
The most important question is that he wants to suppress the Stark family, balance the Lampari Kingdom, and try to control the entire Lampari Kingdom. This idea is good, but... can he really do it?
