Chapter 146 Lavender Chamber of Commerce

The negotiation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kandela Imperial Navy is of course not just the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce unilaterally meeting the requirements of the Kandela Imperial Navy. ,

In fact, in this negotiation between the two parties, solving the follow-up maintenance of the frigate is only the basis. What really needs serious discussion between the two parties is the request made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Candela Empire Navy.

According to the agreement signed between the two parties, the Kandela Empire Navy purchased three frigates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at a price of 500,000 gold coins each, and it must be supplemented with various other relevant conditions to satisfy the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it would be a full The gap of up to 1.5 million gold coins is not so easy to fill.

After leaving his subordinates to discuss the details of the follow-up maintenance of the frigate, Russell led Xu Yi to another room in the barracks.

Here, what was waiting for Xu Yi was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with a friendly smile on his face and shrewd eyes, who looked more like a businessman than a soldier man.

In fact, he was indeed a businessman.

"President Xu, this is Roberto Zeny, the president of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce."

The middle-aged man immediately put on a warm smile, grabbed Xu Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "President Xu, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me in the future."

"Where is it, everyone will cooperate with each other in the future, and there is no need to take care of it."

While speaking politely, Xu Yi carefully looked at Roberto Zeni.

This Lavender Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in the Candela Empire. Among the first-class chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire that Xu Yi inquired about, the Lavender Chamber of Commerce was included.

But did not expect. Standing behind this Lavender Chamber of Commerce is actually the Candela Imperial Navy.

But this is not surprising.

A first-class large chamber of commerce that can gain a firm foothold in the Candela Empire. There is no power behind it.

The reason why the Lavender Chamber of Commerce did not become one of the most powerful super first-class chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire. From Xu Yi's point of view, it might still be dragged down by the Candela Empire Navy.

At least in Xu Yi's view, the guys from the Candela Imperial Navy really don't have any business acumen.

Perhaps some individuals in the navy can make a lot of money, but it is far from improving the embarrassing situation of the imperial navy.

"President Xu, in fact, I have been very interested in the various magical mechanical products of your Chamber of Commerce for a long time. Even without today's meeting, I will take the initiative to seek cooperation with President Xu sooner or later. And now I have Mr. Russell recommendation. That would be more convenient.”

Looking at President Zeni with a warm smile on his face, Xu Yi didn't respond enthusiastically. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said unceremoniously: "President Zeni, if you are here to discuss with me about magic machines If there is any cooperation in this regard, then I can only express my apologies."

Both President Zeni and Russell were startled, they looked at each other, Russell frowned and asked, "President Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Yi sighed. Pointing to the outside of the room, he said, "Master Russell, President Zeni. You are the most powerful water power in the Candela Empire, and even in the entire Sains Continent. Don't you think it's too stingy for the chamber of commerce to cooperate in the field of magic machinery?"

President Zeni and Russell looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"President Xu, isn't your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly engaged in magic machinery? If we don't cooperate with you in magic machinery, can we find other cooperation directions?" Russell asked with a frown.

"No, no, you got a question wrong. Of course, cooperation in magic machinery is what I am most looking forward to, because I very much hope to promote the magic machinery of our chamber of commerce in a large area in the Kandela Empire, so that we will get a huge market."

"This is exactly what we considered before. Why did you veto it, President Xu?" President Zeni asked in wonder.

"What I mean is, we don't have to be limited to just selling the products of our Chamber of Commerce to the Candela Empire, right? According to what I said, the main business of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce is all kinds of seafood, am I right? ? President Zeni?" Xu Yi asked back.

President Zeni was slightly startled.

He thought that Xu Yi should know about his Lavender Chamber of Commerce for the first time, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to say that their main business is seafood business, which shows that he has a certain understanding of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

"Yes. With the strong support of the Imperial Navy, if we don't know how to use the resources at sea, it would be too stupid." President Zeni replied with a smile.

"Well, that's right. But President Zeni, in my opinion, you haven't used enough. The resources in this sea are almost endless, and what your chamber of commerce can use is probably less than One ten thousandth of it."

President Zeni frowned: "President Xu, what do you mean after talking for a long time?"

Xu Yi smiled, took out a map from his pocket, and spread it out on the table.

Russell and Chairman Zeny looked around and found that it was a map of the southern sea area of ​​Sainz Continent.

After looking carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in Russell's eyes.

Regarding the maps of the southern waters, of course the Imperial Navy also has them, and they are far more detailed than those on the market.

But compared with the map that Xu Yi took out, the map in the Imperial Navy Staff Headquarters is so crude that people can't look directly at it.

"President Zeni, your Lavender Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in seafood, specifically, all kinds of sea fish, kelp, coral stones, etc., right?"

Chairman Zeni became more and more sure. Xu Yi must have investigated his Lavender Chamber of Commerce, otherwise he would not have understood it so clearly.

"That's right, President Xu, do you have any opinions?"

"Heh, President Zeni, have you noticed that the seafood that your chamber of commerce is currently dealing in is mainly concentrated in the offshore area?"

Seeing Xu Yi draw an arc on the map not far from the land, Chairman Zeni was puzzled and said, "Is there any problem with this? With the current abilities of the fishermen, they can only reach a distance from the land at most." Fishing from such a far place. We can't let them enter the deeper sea. The deep sea is quite dangerous. How can fishermen risk their lives..."

President Zeni suddenly stopped. He stared blankly at Xu Yi.

He suddenly remembered that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce where Chairman Xu was in front of him had already invented a powerful steel-made sea ship, which could even enter hundreds of kilometers of deep sea and freely travel back and forth?

Ordinary fishermen do not have the ability to enter the deep sea because the fishing boats they use are not capable enough, and they can only fish in the offshore at best.

And even those large wooden warships of the Kandela Empire Navy are also unable to enter the real deep sea.

So even if countless people know that there are even larger and more attractive resources in the deep sea, they are still limited by their abilities. Everyone can only watch.

But now these powerful steel ships produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can enter the deep sea very easily. Doesn't that mean that the deep sea resources that they could only silently covet before have become within reach?

Thinking of this, President Zeni suddenly became short of breath, and looked at Xu Yi with piercing eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Yi knew that he must have understood what he wanted to express, so he smiled and clicked on the deep sea indicated on the map, and said to President Zeni: "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only produces large transport magic ships As well as combat frigates, we will also produce deep-sea fishing magic ships for fishing. President Zeni, is your chamber of commerce interested in this thing?"

###

five days later. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce delegation headed by Xu Yi ended the negotiation with the Candela Imperial Navy.

According to the results of the negotiation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be solely responsible for the follow-up maintenance of all frigates sold to the Kandela Imperial Navy. Ensure that the Kandela Imperial Navy can use these frigates with confidence.

At the same time, the Kandela Imperial Navy has determined that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is its partner, and regards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet as an ally fleet, giving the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet the right to travel freely in the waters of the Kandela Empire, and it is also open to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet The three ports in the south of the empire are at their disposal.

In addition, the Candela Empire Navy signed an agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop the southern waters of the Candela Empire. First of all, it is expected to set up fixed magic signal towers on several small islands in the southern waters within two years, and set up magic communication. Network, strive to cover the southern waters of the feature film.

Correspondingly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce donated 500 magic talking boxes to the Kandela Imperial Navy, allowing the Kandela Imperial Navy to use these magic talking boxes to make free calls within five kilometers.

These are just the results of the agreement between the two parties on the surface. In private, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also reached an agreement with the Kandela Empire Navy, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inject funds to develop six mines in the two small countries affiliated to the southeast of the Kandela Empire.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not directly benefit from these six mines, but the ores mined by these six mines are all sold to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at market prices.

In addition, the Candela Empire Navy will also assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open sales channels in the Candela Empire through private relationships. The first step is to win a special quota for foreign chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

This quota can be regarded as the recognition of chambers of commerce in other countries by the Candela Empire, and chambers of commerce that can be recognized can be regarded as well-known chambers of commerce on the mainland.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can obtain this quota, it will not only open up the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire, but also enable the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to have a formal channel to enter the Candela Empire, which is of great significance.

In addition to the agreement signed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy, it is mainly the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

President Zeni was very interested in the civilian magic deep-sea fishing boat that Xu Yi said. He didn't even care that Xu Yi told him that the boat was still under development and had not been actually produced. He had already confirmed the relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. cooperation, hoping to purchase at least five ships from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi naturally agreed.

In addition to this, Xu Yi also told President Zeni that he could use the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide the Lavender Chamber of Commerce with information about the deep-sea resources in the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and help them collect and fish in the future.

There is no need to wait for the cooperation in this aspect. The two parties can officially start after one month's agreement.

As for other aspects, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also provide the Lavender Chamber of Commerce with several refrigerated compartments in the large transport fleet, and transport some specialty fish from the southern waters of the Candela Empire to other places for sale, which is equivalent to further assisting the Lavender Chamber of Commerce to expand up the market.

Correspondingly, the Lavender Chamber of Commerce will share its sales channels within the Candela Empire with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although seafood and magic machinery are irrelevant, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs a channel to spread magic machinery in the Kandela Empire. As for the specific sales situation, Xu Yi is not worried at all.

It can be said that both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lavender Chamber of Commerce have gained a lot from this negotiation. Even if they feel that the follow-up maintenance cost of the frigate is too high, and the Candela Empire Navy, which feels that it has been cheated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is also because of the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Joint development of mines can be highly profitable and equally satisfying.

When we parted at the end, everyone was naturally happy.

However, when sending Xu Yi off, Luo Su couldn't help but pull Xu Yi over and secretly asked a question.

"President Xu, when will your magical airship... be on sale? And what is your scheduled price?"

Seeing Russell with an expectant face, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

I thought it was because he didn't ask this question these days because he wasn't interested, but it turned out that he just forcibly held back and asked now.

"Well... it will definitely be sold. When will it be publicly sold, it may be next year at the earliest. As for the pre-sale price... I can't tell right now..."

While perfunctory with Russell's question, Xu Yi secretly laughed.

This Russell can be said to be a big fish that he caught with the frigate at the beginning, and now he took the initiative to take the big hook of the magic airship, which really makes people feel emotional.

Master Russell, why are you so cooperative? (To be continued..)
