Chapter 97 The Most Powerful Chamber of Commerce

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's plan to open the Candela Empire market has always been unsuccessful due to various reasons. ,

Although the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very popular in Wimbledon, Ambassador Hakain orders more and more magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce each time, but this is not a normal trade model, and It was not the model Xu Yi hoped for, because the speed of opening up the market was a bit slow.

However, before the production capacity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been greatly improved, Xu Yi is not very anxious about this.

And although Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's progress in opening up the Candela Empire market is relatively slow, the progress in opening up markets in other countries is very fast and very smooth.

Now, apart from selling the magical machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these countries around the Principality of Standing, they have also gone northward, crossing the Principality of Drake, entering the Kingdom of Falk, and quickly became popular in the Kingdom of Falk.

The Falk Kingdom is a country even superior in territory and population than the Lampari Kingdom. It will take a lot of effort for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to completely occupy and digest this market.

In comparison, if only from the perspective of the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, the current policy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should instead focus on the Falk Kingdom.

What's more, the Falk Kingdom is located in the center of the Sainz continent, bordering the Candela Empire in the east and the Maro Empire in the north, so its geographical location is quite important.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can open up the situation in the Falk Kingdom, when the time is right, it may even find a chance to enter the Maro Empire.

If the markets of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire can be opened at the same time, it will be called truly extending the magic machinery to the entire continent.

certainly. This idea is for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It's just too far away.

The production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been able to make a leap. So now even if the market of the entire continent is disclosed to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be able to fully occupy it.

Considering this situation, Xu Yi has already begun to gradually change the development strategy of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Prior to this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly sold all kinds of magic machines produced by itself directly to other countries, so as to directly earn profits.

The magic machinery factory jointly established with other countries is only a supplement to meet the needs of other countries to master magic machinery technology.

Now realizing that the production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is difficult to meet the rapid growth of the market, Xu Yi began to change this approach.

The factories of the various Xinfei chambers of commerce located in the Principality of Standing and the Black Rice Wasteland are still operating at full capacity. And vigorously increase production capacity, but at the same time Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to strongly support joint venture factories with other countries.

Among these joint venture factories, only a small part is fully controlled by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and most of the rest are only provided by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As for the site, personnel and management rights of the factories, they belong to the cooperative chambers of commerce in other countries. have.

For these countries, of course, they prefer this kind of cooperation mode, because they can learn the corresponding magic machine manufacturing technology from this cooperation mode, and gradually try to use these technologies to manufacture their own magic machines.

Unlike buying technology patents directly from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machines, the joint venture factory has full technical support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the technicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce personally sit in charge. There will be certain advantages in learning and mastering technology.

Over time, the quality and performance of the magic machines produced by these joint venture factories will be closer to Xinfei brand magic machines. It is more convenient for them to catch up with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So using this cooperation model, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Falk Kingdom with ease, and signed several cooperation agreements with the Falk Kingdom in one go.

At the beginning of next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falk Kingdom will jointly build five household magic machinery factories in the Falk Kingdom.

According to the plan, in the next five years, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to cooperate with the Falk Kingdom to build at least ten household magic machinery factories in the Falk Kingdom. At the same time, it also plans to jointly build a magic machine tool manufacturing workshop and three steelworks.

In Xu Yi's conception, he is planning to build the Falk Kingdom into a complete production base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and strives to be able to produce all kinds of products needed by himself even if he completely gets rid of the dependence on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Home magic machinery.

This idea came about naturally because of the superior geographical location of the Falk Kingdom.

Compared with transporting household magic machines from the Principality of Standing to other countries for sale, such a joint venture with other countries to establish a factory and produce locally can save a considerable amount of transportation costs.

At the same time, under this cooperation model, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs to provide corresponding technical personnel, and the rest of the basic workers and factory establishment do not need to be invested, so a lot of manpower, material resources and energy can be saved.

Although under this cooperation model, the profits of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be greatly reduced, but because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is currently in the absolute leading position in the field of magic machinery, in the cooperation agreements signed by other countries and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides For technical support, the profit share obtained is not low at all.

Take these cooperation agreements signed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Falk Kingdom at the end of the year as an example. The profit share of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these five joint venture household magic machinery factories is as low as 45% and as high as 60%.

The Kingdom of Falk is bigger than the Kingdom of Lampari, and its national power has always been much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Lampari. The living conditions of the people are better, and the internal market is naturally larger than that of the Kingdom of Lampari. .

So even though it only takes profit sharing, once the market of Falk Kingdom is fully opened, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will still be able to obtain extremely huge profits from it.

Therefore, when looking forward to the profit forecast for the coming year, Sebastian, the treasurer of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, made an extremely bold calculation.

Forty million gold coins!

This is Sebastian's annual profit assessment budget for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce next year.

Such a huge number can be said to be quite astonishing.

It can even be said that if Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can achieve such a huge profit in the coming year. Then it will surpass the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. Become the most profitable Chamber of Commerce in the surrounding countries!

And even if next year passes. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only been in the city for seven years.

In such a short period of time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the most profitable chamber of commerce in neighboring countries. It has to be said that the speed of development is like a miracle.

However, at the year-end summary report meeting held within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one questioned the data proposed by Sebastian.

Because... this year alone, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual profit has reached an astonishing 33 million gold coins!

Compared with the annual profit of 26 million gold coins at the end of last year, this year's annual profit has increased by 7 million gold coins!

Since the profit of seven million gold coins can be increased this year, the market development of the Falk Kingdom and a series of other corresponding measures will be added in the coming year. Everyone believed that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profit growth in the coming year would definitely exceed 7 million gold coins, so it would be no problem for the annual profit to exceed 40 million gold coins.

However, when everyone was excited about this number, Xu Yi poured cold water on everyone.

That's right, the profit of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the coming year will definitely increase significantly, but correspondingly, the capital investment of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the coming year will also increase significantly.

According to Xu Yi's plan, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase investment in the Magic Research Institute in the new year, increasing the annual research funding from five million gold coins this year to eight million gold coins.

At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase investment in the escort. Strive to increase the number of guards to more than 10,000 in the coming year.

The equipment level of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort is far superior to the armies of all surrounding countries, so it is only this one plan. In the coming year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will invest at least three million gold coins in the escort team.

In terms of sea, the investment of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will accelerate.

With the construction of several island bases, according to the financial budget made by Sebastian, starting from next year, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will spend a minimum of 4 million gold coins in these sea bases every year, and it will increase year by year.

However, compared to the pure cost of the magic research institute and the guards, once the follow-up development plan of these island bases is implemented, it can bring a lot of practical benefits to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so as long as it is well operated, it will not cost much. It will eventually make money.

Of course, don't count on it when you invest in the early stage.

According to the plan, at least in the first three years, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only invest in this area, and it is difficult to see specific returns.

However, compared to the specific rewards, Xu Yi paid more attention to the other conveniences brought by these island bases.

For example, if you have these island bases, the area where the escort fleet and transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be greatly improved, making it easier for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to further develop other markets through the endless sea.

For example, the ship market...

Xu Yi was not surprised when Leslie sent back the news that Remito Russell was interested in the frigate of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

He can be sure that anyone who has seen the powerful frigates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must admit that the original wooden sea ships are completely outdated.

As long as the Kandela Empire Navy is not all idiots, it will definitely be interested in frigates.

Before, Xu Yi asked Leslie to deliberately perform a few scenes in front of the Candela Imperial Navy in order to attract their attention.

Russell, who is now the deputy chief of staff of the Kandela Empire's naval staff, has expressed such a wish, which means that Xu Yi's goal has finally been achieved.

A few days after Leslie's letter was delivered to Xu Yi, Ambassador Hakain made another trip to the Duchy of Standing, and brought a letter from Russell in addition to buying goods again.

In this letter, Russell clearly expressed the Candela Imperial Navy's interest in the frigates produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he questioned the price of two million gold coins for a frigate mentioned by Leslie, saying that this price is really high. It is too high and unacceptable. I hope Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make some concessions.

Xu Yi replied a letter expressing the position of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi's tone of voice in the letter was very polite, and he spoke eloquently, but there was only one meaning revealed between the lines.

impossible. (To be continued..)
