Chapter 67 Cooperation Spanning More than 5,000 Kilometers
Facts have proved that Gaza is completely overwhelmed. ⊙Apex Novels,
What Xu Yi hopes to obtain from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is not only something they can fully afford, but even... President Gaza feels that it is too simple, so that he wonders if he has heard it wrong.
Because Xu Yi just hoped to obtain some minerals and magic material resources needed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
The minerals and magic materials mentioned by Xu Yi are very common things. Although they are not as common as magic crystals and worthless at all, they are not particularly scarce in the United Kingdom of Nozdormu. Resources can be traded completely.
Through the transaction of these resources, Xu Yi promised Gaza that he could provide the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce with some of the manufacturing technology of household magic machinery, so that they can also master the method of manufacturing these household magic machinery.
Even in order to ensure that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can take root and develop smoothly in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, which is five thousand kilometers away, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce plans to invest in the construction of a small refinery in addition to building a cement processing plant. The steel mills promised to help the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom establish a preliminary magical industrial system.
In addition, because the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is limited by geography, there is very little land that can be used for cultivation in the country, so the food problem has always been extremely troublesome for them. Bring in large quantities of food to help them with this most important problem.
Prior to this, the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom basically imported food from the neighboring Kandela Empire to meet its most basic needs.
But the Candela Empire set extremely high prices for exporting grain, taking wheat as an example. The lowest price is thirty-four gold coins per ton. At the highest point, it rose to as much as thirty-eight gold coins.
Although there are thirteen chambers of commerce in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom. A lot of money has been made through other business channels and some special resources rich in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom itself, such as rare forests, flowers, and special animal and plant herbs in the swamp, but it is only used for food imports. The cost was as high as 1.37 million gold coins last year, accounting for more than a quarter of the overall support of the entire kingdom.
According to the preliminary agreement reached between Xu Yi and Gaza, the price of all kinds of food shipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Principality of Standing will be slightly lower than that of the Candela Empire.
Taking wheat as an example, the price given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually only 28 gold coins per ton, which is as much as 6 gold coins lower than the price from the Candela Empire.
In addition, the prices of other types of food are also lower, if you calculate it. If the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom imports food from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will save at least 300,000 gold coins per year.
Gaza immediately agreed to reach this cooperation with Xu Yi almost without any consideration.
But he was very puzzled. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transported food from the Principality of Standing, which is more than 5,000 kilometers away, and the price is much lower than that of the neighboring Candela Empire. Lost to death?
However, Xu Yi did not explain the reason to Gaza, but only assured Gaza that the food shipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not have any problems, and would definitely be able to withstand various tests from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
Gaza is somewhat skeptical. But it is inconvenient to say more.
Anyway, the cooperation on food is only an insignificant part of the cooperation between Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If there is indeed no problem with the food shipped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom can use this to save a lot of expenses. Everything is a good thing.
Besides, there is no need for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to lie to him about this kind of thing, which is of no benefit to anyone.
Gaza believed that Xu Yi would never do such a mindless thing.
This meeting between Xu Yi and Gaza can only be regarded as a very preliminary contact.
In fact, there is only one most urgent problem facing Gaza, or the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and that is to build a deep-water port that meets the requirements as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the large cargo magic ship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to dock, and it will be difficult for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to really get in touch with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and naturally the follow-up cooperation will not be able to start.
As for Gaza’s previous proposal to build a road from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to the Kingdom of Luerson, which will eventually be merged into the road transportation network of the Kingdom of Luerson, so as to directly connect with the Principality of Standing, this idea is at least in the It is simply impossible to achieve now, so naturally it can only be temporarily shelved.
After the talks, Xu Yi, at the invitation of Gaza, conducted a week-long investigation in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
The area of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is actually slightly larger than the Principality of Standing, not as good as the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Rulson. It is also a small country in the southeast corner of the Sainz continent. If you want to conduct a preliminary investigation, you can Much easier.
Xu Yi came here for the first time, and it was indeed not an in-depth investigation. Instead, he took a magic airship and circled the sky above the United Kingdom of Nozdormu within a week, and had a good understanding of the entire Nozdormu business. Gain a basic understanding of the UK environment.
After the inspection, Xu Yi's evaluation of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom has slightly improved.
This part of the improvement does not come from the geographical environment of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom. On the contrary, after coming here in person and seeing the swamps and rainforests that can be seen almost everywhere in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, Xu is also very interested in this aspect. ratings were even lower.
The reason why the overall evaluation of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom has been slightly improved is that it comes from the thirteen chambers of commerce that control the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom represented by the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce.
Although these thirteen chambers of commerce control the overall situation of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, they are closer to merchants after all, which makes it very easy for Xu Yi to communicate with them, without the need to communicate with the Kingdom of Lampari and the Ruhr. The noble ministers of the Xun Kingdom were so strenuous in communicating.
Both parties were extremely pragmatic when discussing cooperation matters, there was almost no nonsense, and the efficiency was high. In just one week, many cooperation details were settled.
And in just a few days, the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce cooperated with three other chambers of commerce to finalize the location of a deep-water port, and at the same time prepared the initial construction materials and corresponding manpower.
Such efficiency even surprised Xu Yi.
Of course, because the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom currently does not own materials such as cement, concrete, steel bars, etc., nor does it possess the construction engineering technology of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, so at most it can only build a traditional one on the Sains Continent. There is no way to build a port that is strong enough like the port of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing and the outside of the Black Rice Wasteland.
Xu Yi didn't care much about this, anyway, as long as the large cargo magic ship of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could dock, it was enough.
As for the next thing, you can think about it slowly.
A week passed quickly, and Xu Yi finally finished his short-term investigation in Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
When the magic airship carried Xu Yi and Xinfei merchants slowly into the air, and soon turned the group of representatives from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom into a bunch of small black spots on the ground, the people around Xu Yi Evita suddenly frowned slightly, glanced at Xu Yi, and stopped talking.
"What? Just say what you have to say, why hold it back." Xu Yi laughed.
Evita was silent for a moment, and said softly: "My lord, in fact, I have always been wondering why you insist on cooperating with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom? It is too far away from our merchant. Even if you take the magic power It takes several days for an airship to go back and forth. If it is transported by a large cargo magic ship, it may take at least a month to go back and forth at sea. I don’t think this is a suitable distance for cooperation, it’s too inconvenient.”
"Well, I also think it's too far away, it's really inconvenient." Xu Yi nodded.
Evita was startled: "Then why do you..."
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Because I want to open up more markets. Don't you think that our chamber of commerce will not have a bright future if we only focus on these small countries around us?"
Evita frowned even deeper.
"But if it's to open up the market, I think the Candela Empire is a better choice. And didn't you have this plan very early? Why did you give up now?"
"Who said I gave up?" Xu Yi asked back. "Considering investing in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is not contradictory to exploring the market of the Candela Empire, and they can be done at the same time."
"But you let the escort fleet attack the Kandela Empire's sea fleet last time. Didn't you completely offend the Kendela Empire?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "It's nothing, this is just a signal to the Kendela Empire."
"Signal?" Evita looked puzzled. "What signal?
Xu Yi smiled, but did not answer.
What signal?
Of course, it is to tell the Candela Empire, look, your fleet is so backward, it is completely vulnerable to the magic warship newly developed by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If the Candela Empire was smart enough, they would of course be able to smell the message Xu Yi wanted to convey from this skirmish.
Then what they should do and what they will do next is the obvious thing.
Xu Yi smiled and looked towards the northwest direction of the Kandela Empire through the window of the magic airship, with a hint of hope in his heart.
This huge and ancient empire should give a satisfactory response. (To be continued..)
