Chapter 123 Thinking Can't Keep Up With Development

"Master President, I understand your feelings, and I am also deeply saddened and angry for the employees of the Chamber of Commerce who died at the port, but..." Kennard glanced at Xu Yi with a calm face, hesitated, and continued: "It's just For this reason, it is a bit... impulsive to blindly increase the defense strength of our chamber of commerce?"

"Blind?" Xu Yi turned to him. "Why do you think this approach is blind?"

Kennard gave a wry smile, spread his hands and said, "Although this term is indeed used in a somewhat impolite manner, Mr. President, I can't figure out how to invest more than three million gold coins in the chamber of commerce guards at once, and every year thereafter Why do you need to gradually increase the investment, and even according to your plan, eventually invest at least five million gold coins each year? If it is just to avoid similar casualties among the employees of the chamber of commerce in the future, we have many other alternatives. It costs less."

"I have always said that I am a businessman. But judging from now, Kennard, you are worthy of being born in the Emma family. The thinking of a businessman is much deeper than mine." Xu Yi smiled.

Kennard frowned and sighed: "Master President, we are just a chamber of commerce after all."

"No, for me, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a tool in my hands." Xu Yi shook his head. "Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed to the present, it is the best tool, but it is still just a tool. My ideal is to change the lives of people on the Sainz continent, and this goal will not change. Making money is also a tool. Just to make it happen."

Seeing the look on Xu Yi's face, Kennard knew that it was pointless for him to continue persuading him. I had to sigh too. No further discussion.

But anyway. Kennard also couldn't understand Xu Yi's behavior.

Because several people died in the Heimi Port, Xu Yi suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to completely control the entire Heimi Wasteland.

If this idea is not so outrageous, then the idea of ​​Xu Yi even wanting to finally counterattack the Sak Kingdom after taking control of the Black Rice Wasteland really horrified Kennard inexplicably.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now developed into a large-scale chamber of commerce with strong influence in these nearby countries, in the final analysis it is nothing more than a chamber of commerce.

With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and more importantly, the military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it may not be difficult to control the entire Black Rice Wasteland. After all, the orcs on the Black Rice Wasteland were not organized and their resistance was weak.

But if you want to fight against the Kingdom of Sac, that's simply wishful thinking.

A country and a chamber of commerce are two completely different concepts.

Kennard looked at Xu Yi's side face, and wondered if the chairman roughly estimated the ability of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can now control the situation in the Duchy of Standing. What about the illusion of competing with the Sak Kingdom?

It was inconvenient for Kennard to ask this question.

As the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he is mainly responsible for the specific administrative affairs and management of the Chamber of Commerce, but at most he can only suggest the general development direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. without any dominance.

Xu Yi has absolute control over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as Xu Yi makes up his mind. Then others have only to obey.

This point, even Kennard can not defy.

Kennard thought for a while silently, thinking that he had worked with Xu Yi for so many years, and his ideals were very close, how could he just watch him go astray?

After a pause, Kennard said sternly: "Master President, I still hope you can think more clearly. Our chamber of commerce does have enough strength to strengthen our own defenses, but our strength has limits. With the current profitability of our Chamber of Commerce, we can only maintain a guard force of no more than 5,000 people at the same level as the current level. If this number exceeds this number, the strength will be uncertain but will decline."

Xu Yi smiled and asked back, "Do you think five thousand people are very few?"

Kennard was stunned: "Of course there are very few. President, don't forget, even Earl Weilun has a full 30,000 people under his command."

Xu Yi laughed loudly: "Is 30,000 people strong? Don't forget, Earl Weilun's 30,000 people, even the hundred people led by Hart can't do anything."

Kennard frowned: "It can't be calculated like this. My lord, Earl Willon can't do anything to the hundred guards led by Captain Hart. There are many reasons for this. If we fight head-on..."

"Even if it's a head-on battle, Earl Willon's men can't do anything to Hart's hundred people." Xu Yi waved his hand and interrupted Kennard.

Kennard was stunned: "How is this possible? That's 30,000 people! How could it be that there are only a hundred people!"

"So, you, and the vast majority of people in this continent, are still stuck in the old way of thinking." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "This world is already completely different from the world you were familiar with before."

Kennard looked at Xu Yi strangely, thinking that he was also the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and his understanding of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was much deeper than most people on this continent.

But even he was not at all optimistic about the scene Xu Yi described, so why was Xu Yi so confident?

Xu Yi smiled and didn't explain much to Kennard.

Although Kennard is the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he is mainly responsible for administrative affairs. In fact, he still has his limitations in many aspects. His grasp of the overall situation is far inferior to that of the president.

Of course, it's not just Kennard, but almost everyone on this continent, like Kennard, can't understand Xu Yi's thoughts at all.

This cannot be blamed on them, because Xu Yi, relying on the knowledge of mechanical engineering brought from the earth, has brought to this world a magic machine far beyond their imagination, which is equivalent to making the technological level of Sainz Continent a huge improvement. Leap forward general promotion.

It will take a while for people's thinking to catch up with this change.

And what Xu Yi wanted to take advantage of was such a period of time with gaps.

The two fell silent at the same time, and sat down in the magic car and continued to drive at high speed on the highway in the northern part of the Principality of Standing, which used to belong to Earl Weilun and was now ceded to the territory under the name of Xu Yi.

This road belongs to a section of the Silu Highway and is in a half-finished state. Currently, there are only two lanes, which is far from the six-lane road after it is fully completed.

When the magic car is running on the road, you can see countless local workers from the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Rulson, the Black Rice Wasteland, the Principality of Mirando, and the Principality of Standing busy on both sides of the road.

Most of these workers belong to the Amley Chamber of Commerce, and only a small number of workers who are responsible for the supervision of the overall project planning and the support of engineering magic machinery belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two chambers of commerce have maintained this cooperation model for four years, and the workers on both sides are very familiar with each other, so their work efficiency is extremely high.

According to the engineering director of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce responsible for the paving project of the Sulu Highway, Xu Yi's old friend Riley estimated that the Sulu Highway will be fully completed by the middle of next year at the latest.

At that time, from the west coast of the Principality of Standing to Kulaka City, the capital of the Rulson Kingdom, although the whole journey was more than a thousand kilometers, there was always a flat road connecting it.

If you drive a magic freight locomotive that can maintain a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, it only takes one day to arrive.

And if it is driving the latest magic car that Xu Yi and Kennard are currently riding in, and the speed can be maintained at more than 60 kilometers per hour, it will only take more than ten hours.

Of course, if the Sulu Highway wants to be fully opened to traffic, the most important part is the cliff between the Principality of Standing and the Principality of Rulson.

Specifically, it is whether the viaduct laying project of the Sulu Highway can be successfully completed.

After the magic car drove the two of them on the road for a while, they entered an extremely lush forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Entering this forest is like entering the control range of the Moon Shadow Tribe.

Before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one in the Principality of Standing dared to enter this forest named Micro Dream Forest at will, because it was very likely to suffer revenge from the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe.

However, now, this forest, which has existed quietly for thousands of years, has fallen into a hustle and bustle.

As soon as he entered the forest, he could hear a violent rumbling sound like thunder from a distance.

Looking up, you can still see a towering giant tree falling crookedly, hitting the ground, raising broken branches and dust all over the sky.

"Master President, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the elves would allow humans to make such a big commotion in their homes, and even allow humans to cut down the most cherished thousand-year-old tree for them .” Kennard looked at the fallen giant tree in the distance, and said with emotion.

Xu Yi smiled softly: "If the elves want to redevelop and integrate into human society, this is a necessary step."

"That's also because of your unique charm, Mr. President. The elves have lived with us humans on the Sains continent for thousands of years, and this is the first time they have really tried to integrate with humans." Kennard said.

Xu Yi laughed, thinking that other elves are not very clear, but in the eyes of the elves of the Night Song and Moon Shadow tribes, they do have a strong charm.

Otherwise, elders Elsia and Lisanya would not force themselves to combine with an elf woman.

Thinking of seeing Elder Lisanya soon, Xu Yi couldn't help but get a headache.

I hope Elder Lisanya can let him go this time, and don't force himself to choose an elf beauty as soon as they meet. (To be continued..)
