Chapter 102 No Adventurous Spirit
Since Xu Yi announced the disclosure of steelmaking technology and the need to exchange slaves, in the past few months, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has successively taken over more than 30,000 slaves. ∷,
Xu Yi sent all these slaves to those overseas islands, using them as the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to control these islands.
These islands vary in size. The large ones can accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people, while the small ones can only accommodate hundreds of people. After all the more than 30,000 slaves are sent up, only a small half of them are filled. There were still dozens of islands that Xu Yi had delineated before, but there were still not enough people to send them.
Xu Yi is not too anxious about this. Anyway, the construction period of this island chain is extremely long, and the investment is huge. Of course, it is impossible to complete it in a short time.
According to the plan, the islands that initially need to be built are mainly concentrated in the outer waters of the Principality of Standing, the outer waters of the Black Rice Wasteland to the north, and the outer waters of the Kingdom of Roulson to the south.
After successfully constructing all the islands that have yet to be encountered, the next step is to build the islands in the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and...the islands in the outer seas of the Kingdom of Sark.
###
In April 3787 in the continental calendar, the early spring in the Principality of Standing was already slightly hotter than the early summer in other places.
At this time of year, the coastal beach of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's main base is always full of people in their spare time.
Bikinis have long been popular in the Principality of Standing, so now when you look on the beach, you will see beauties in sexy bikinis dangling everywhere, either snow-white or with healthy bronze skin The flesh * shuttled back and forth on the beach. Dazzling.
However, the situation on the beach today is slightly different from usual. People's eyes were not focused on those fleshy bodies on the beach. Instead, they landed on the surface of the sea one after another.
Today is the day when the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce returns.
Unlike the usual return of the transport fleet, this time the transport fleet is said to have crossed a sea area of more than 5,000 kilometers, heading to the easternmost coast of the continent and then returning.
It is said that this time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom on the east coast of the mainland have reached a cooperation agreement. The two parties have reached the first real cooperation through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet. After sending a large amount of supplies, when they come back, it is obvious that a large amount of supplies should also be brought back from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
The Principality of Standing is located in the southwest corner of the entire Sainz continent, and the messenger of Nozdormu is said to be located in the southeast corner of the entire continent. The distance between the two is more than 5,000 kilometers.
For most people, this is almost a long distance that cannot be crossed in this lifetime.
If it wasn't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to reach a cooperation, and use the powerful Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet to get in touch with the other party, I am afraid that most people in the Principality of Standing would not have any relationship with this country. touch.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce transport fleet has returned from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, it will definitely bring back a lot of rare treasures that only there can have, and it will definitely be an eye-opener.
So after knowing the news that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet would arrive today, countless people gathered on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze while looking forward to the arrival of the transport fleet.
"Hey, President Xu. Do you really think Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is worth investing in?"
In Xu Yi's private estate on the cliff not far from the beach, a fat middle-aged man looked back at the sea in the distance. He turned to Xu Yi and asked.
Hearing his question, dozens of men dressed as businessmen who gathered on the platform near the cliff focused their eyes on Xu Yi, with doubts in their eyes.
These dozens of people are all the presidents of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce that is closely related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Today, Xu Yi specially summoned them to discuss with them about investing in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
Although these presidents have earned a lot of benefits through the cooperation with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce over the years, so they are very convinced of Xu Yi, but they are very hesitant about Xu Yi's proposal to let them invest in Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
After all, the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu is too far apart.
It was more than 5,000 kilometers away from here, and it was like two different worlds to them, so they couldn't rest assured.
"Purely from a business point of view, I must say it's worth it." Xu Yi glanced at the people around him and nodded with a chuckle. "The United Kingdom of Nozdormu Commerce is equivalent to the Lampari Kingdom before our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared. It can be said that it is completely blank in terms of magic machinery. If any chamber of commerce is willing to go there to open up the market, it will definitely be able to." Easily occupy that market."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"But President Xu, if you have this idea, why didn't you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce monopolize it yourself and invite us to go together?" Another person asked.
Xu Yi spread his hands, and said frankly: "My point of view has always been that everyone earns money. Since this market is very promising, I certainly hope that everyone can explore it together and earn the benefits we need from it."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded again.
If this sentence is said from other people, they will only feel hypocritical.
However, Xu Yi's consistent support for the development of peers made other people never feel that Xu Yi was lying.
"I know that you are all worried about investing in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom because it is too far away from here. But I must remind everyone that as a qualified businessman, we must have certain skills when necessary. The adventurous spirit. As the saying goes, benefits always coexist with risks, and in turn, risks also coexist with benefits. Isn’t it the awareness that we businessmen should have to take some risks to obtain enough benefits?”
Everyone was silent for a while, and a businessman coughed lightly and said: "President Xu, you are right. But I think... before the representative of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom arrived. It seems that we have said so much It's no use either."
Xu Yi smiled. He nodded and said, "Well. When the representative arrives, I think it will be easier for you to make up your mind."
Seeing that the topic was easily shifted by these people to the various businesses they are currently doing, Xu Yi secretly sighed in his heart.
Among the businessmen present here, many chambers of commerce under their names were established from scratch with the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning of their establishment, the presidents of these chambers of commerce were full of adventurous spirit, otherwise they would not have made up their minds to invest in the unprecedented magic machinery industry.
But now after several years of development, after these chambers of commerce have reached a certain scale, these presidents have begun to have some thoughts of getting rich and being safe. Become less willing to take risks.
This made Xu Yi a little disappointed with them.
In terms of development speed and current scale, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly completely crush these chambers of commerce that are also in the magic machinery industry, but as the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi has always been very adventurous.
Not to mention investing in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, which is more than 5,000 kilometers away from here, if conditions permit, even if he is allowed to invest in another continent, there will be no problem.
Of course, this is due to the gap in vision between the two sides.
Xu Yi traveled from the earth and has long been accustomed to the concept of a global village.
More than 5,000 kilometers is not an obstacle at all to Xu Yi, but it is no different from a natural barrier to the people on the Sainz continent who have been accustomed to never leaving their birthplace for hundreds of kilometers.
Think here. Xu Yi did not urge or simply force them.
He believes that there is no shortage of people willing to take risks in this world.
After a while, representatives from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom arrived. I believe that some of these people will see the business opportunities hidden in it and are willing to take these risks.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yi still hadn't received any news of the return of the fleet. He couldn't help but glanced at the southern sea in doubt, but there was no trace of a large cargo magic ship.
This makes him a little strange.
Neval sent back the news from Port Nissi seven days ago, and it is confirmed that he will return today.
According to his usual habits, every time he returns, he will choose to arrive in the morning to facilitate the delivery of goods on the same day.
However, as the morning is about to pass, there is still no trace of the transport fleet, which is really abnormal.
Glancing at the people who were still chatting and laughing, Xu Yi remained calm and continued to wait quietly.
But another hour passed, and it was obviously past the lunch time, but still no news came.
At this moment, the other people present also sensed something was wrong, gradually stopped talking and looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi frowned, motioned everyone to wait, and walked quickly to a small room in the manor, took out the small magic talking box in his arms, and pressed the button.
"Hello, I'm Xu Yi. Evita, immediately dispatch the magic airship to search south along the coastline, looking for traces of the transport fleet."
The call box was silent for a while, and then I remembered Evita's slightly surprised voice: "Yes, President, I will leave immediately."
After a while, Xu Yi walked out of the manor, looked up to the south sky, and saw a magic airship slowly rising into the sky, and then quickly flew towards the south sea.
"President Xu... Is something wrong?" A voice came from behind.
Xu Yi looked back and found that the presidents who were still on the platform just now came to the front yard at some point, looking at Xu Yi with surprise.
"It's nothing, there was a little accident." Xu Yi smiled.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not believing it.
Just when Xu Yi was about to let everyone return to the platform to wait patiently, the magic talking box in his hand rang again.
Xu Yi frowned, walked aside, and connected to the magic communication box.
Evita's voice sounded, with a hint of panic mixed in her tone.
"President, the transport fleet has been discovered, but they... seem to be under siege!" (To be continued...)
