Chapter 173

A week after the wedding, Sevini appeared in front of him and Steele, beyond Xu Yi's expectations.

"I'm really sorry." Sewini said to the two of them with apologetic expression: "I originally planned to attend your wedding and send my blessings to you in person, but I was delayed by some unexpected things. I'm really sorry."

Xu Yi looked at Sevini seriously and found that her expression was full of fatigue. She couldn't help but frown and waved her hand and said, "This is not a big deal. Your Highness, the Queen of the Princess is busy and it is normal to be delayed. But Your Highness, I heard... Your situation seems not very good recently..."

Sevini showed a hint of surprise, looked at Xu Yi, and asked back, "Why do you ask this?"

"This is something I inferred from, and some people have revealed some information to me..."

"Does these people include Count Samoy?" Sevini asked again.

"Earl Samo did not say it clearly, but he told me that his successor was from the Stark family. I think... this must not be the result that His Highness the Queen wants to see." Xu Yi paused and said, "In addition, Viscount Leslie also revealed some truth to me in his reply. His Highness, the guys in the Senate of the nobles have always supported you before? Why do they suddenly turn to support His Highness Eric now?"

Sevini glanced at Steele.

Xu Yi immediately said: "Steel is my wife, I don't need to hide anything from her."

"I am envious and delighted by the intimacy between you and Steele." Sewini smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity that I can't find anyone who can confess everything in front of him, so... there are some things that I can't reveal to you."

Xu Yi shrugged and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I originally thought I was your firm ally of Your Highness."

Hearing Xu Yi's name to her became a respectful word, how could Sevini not know that Xu Yi was indirectly expressing his dissatisfaction, but she could only smile bitterly: "Xu Yi, it's not that I don't want to reveal it to you, but that's not. There are many things. If you know, I think with your personality I know, I'm afraid you will definitely choose to participate. But for now, I don't want you to do this. The New Air Chamber of Commerce has developed very well. I have always regarded it as a hope for our Lampari Kingdom to become stronger. I don't want it to be completely destroyed before it really grows. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing the sincerity in Sewini's tone. Steele stuck out his hand, shook Xu Yi's hand hard, and gently shook his head at him.

Xu Yi sighed deeply, looked at Sevini for a while, and said seriously: "My Queen, I understand your thoughts. But I also hope you can understand my thoughts. In my opinion, you are the most suitable heir to the entire kingdom, because you really hope that the Kingdom of Lampari will become stronger, and not just for that crown like some people. So no matter what, I will fully support you."

Although many people have automatically classified Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as supporters of His Highness Sevini, this is the first time Xu Yi has expressed his attitude so bluntly.

Sevini heard the solemnity in Xu Yi's words and couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, after hesitating for a while, he still shook his head slowly and said, "I'm very happy to be able to get your recognition and support, but please believe me, you are really not suitable for knowing some things now. When the right time is right, I will tell you."

Seeing that Sewini was so determined, Xu Yi knew that it would make no sense to continue talking, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I hope this day will come soon."

Sevini smiled slightly, took a breath, and wiped away the various emotional expressions on her face that shouldn't have appeared on her face.

"Let's discuss the main business. Since you already know that the person who took over Samoy is Earl Stark, I believe you should already know what impact this matter will have on you and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi nodded slowly: "Yes. But I only know that it will definitely bring bad effects, but I don't know how bad it will be."

"I can only say...it will be worse than you think." Sewini said seriously.

"Is that true?" Xu Yi and Steele frowned. "So, your relationship with His Highness has reached such a "chiluo" nakedness?"

"Can you say that." Sewini's tone was a little helpless. "Although this is not what I want to see, it is true. And I have no strength to object to this matter. So I can only remind you to be more careful and try not to make excuses for Brother Wang. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Yi frowned even deeper and smiled bitterly, "Is this asking me to be a turtle?"

"My father once told me a word, if you want to achieve great things, you must first learn to be patient when necessary. I will give this sentence to you now." Sewini said seriously.

Xu Yi looked at Sewini and shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this sentence applies to me, but it may not apply to you. If you don't make up your decision, it may disappoint many people who support you. Do you really think that Your Highness Prince Eric is more suitable to ascend the throne than you?"

"I don't want to discuss this issue." Sewini shook his head and cut off the topic directly. "President Xu, this time I came out to send my blessings to you and Steele in person, there are also several important things to discuss with you. The first thing is about the magic trencher."

"Is there any problem with the magic trench?" Xu Yi asked. "Viss Leslie's reply said that the magic trench showed great power in the battle on the northern border, and defeated the soldiers of the Sach Kingdom step by step, and could not even hold a position."

"Yes, the magic trench is indeed powerful. But the more outstanding it performs, the less the military department wants to leave the technology of making this thing in the hands of others. After research and decision by the military department, it is hoped that the New Air Chamber of Commerce can hand over the technology of making magic trench to the military department and send relevant technicians to assist the military department's arsenal to master all the technologies of producing magic trench." Sevini said.

"Your Highness, is this what you mean?" Xu Yi asked seriously.

Sewini blinked and replied, "This is what the military means."

Xu Yi immediately understood: "So can I refuse?"

"The horror cannot be."

Hearing this answer, Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer: "Then can I ask, will the military headquarters give me any compensation?"

Sewini was silent for a while before slowly answering: "This is a joint resolution of the senior military leaders and the Kingdom Parliament. In the future, no relevant technology of military equipment in the Kingdom cannot be controlled by the private hands."

"That is, there is no compensation?" Xu Yi asked.

Sewini shook his head slowly.

"Very good." Xu Yi sneered again. "To put it bluntly, I'm asking me to submit it for free. It seems that the people in the military are not that thick-skinned. I'm sorry to know that I'm here to make this request to me in person, so I actually took you as a shield. Okay, I can choose to submit this technology for free. After all, I'm an ordinary businessman and cannot compete with the military. But the military. Please tell the military and the Kingdom Council for me to think about the serious consequences of doing so."

Sevini showed a bitter smile and sighed: "Xu Yi, I hope you don't lose confidence in the kingdom because of this. His father still attaches great importance to you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"If you pay so much attention, then don't." Xu Yi snorted coldly, and after that, he glanced at Sevini meaningfully. "As for losing confidence... I only have confidence in you, Your Highness. I just hope you don't let me lose confidence."

Sevini remained silent, and the room fell into tranquility for a moment.

Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the room, Steele forced a smile and said to Sewini: "Your Highness, this is the first thing, so what about the second thing?"

Sevini took a breath and returned to calm. He smiled at Steele and replied: "The second thing is good news. The father has decided to connect the three cities of Bonta, Kalma and Saltan to officially list them as the Lampari Kingdom Special Economic Zone. In this special economic zone, all commercial activities in the three cities will enjoy the benefits and conveniences of the Kingdom policy."

"This is good news, but it's a coincidence to decide this, right?" Xu Yi's tone was disdainful. "It happened to be announced when Count Samoy is about to be transferred and Count Stark is about to take over. Princess Princess, are you sure this is not paving the way and creating momentum for Count Stark?"

"No matter what you think, this is a good thing for Bonta City after all, isn't it?" Sevini said. "After being listed as a special economic zone, all chambers of commerce in Bonta City will enjoy the special treatment of kingdom policies. For example, when the goods of chambers of commerce in Bonta City are passed in the kingdom, the taxes paid by each place will be a fixed number, and are not affected by the tax standards established by local governments. I think you should know that this alone will bring great benefits to the chambers of commerce in Bonta City."

"Well, this is indeed a good thing." Xu Yi nodded.

Because there is no unified taxation standard in the Kingdom of Lampari, different places are basically formulated by the city lords from all over the country.

For example, the standard for commercial taxation in Bonta City is 34%, while the standard for Kalma City is 37%, and the standard for Saltan City is 38%.

The reason why the taxation standard in Bonta City is the lowest is that Count Samoy has always supported commercial development. After the New Air Chamber of Commerce led to the development of Bonta City, this standard was further lowered in order to promote the commercial development of Bonta City.

The 34% standard is the lowest in the entire Lampari Kingdom.

However, other cities in the Kingdom of Lampari are often much higher than the standards of these three cities, and some of them even exceed an astonishing 50%!

In Xu Yi's opinion, this is clearly a criterion for being a brainless person.

Business in the Kingdom of Lampari was originally underdeveloped. In this case, if taxes were not quickly lowered to promote business development, the tax standards were set so high that it would be a damn if the business could develop.

In the past, when major chambers of commerce in Bangta City were transported to various places, they had to be paid according to local tax standards. Therefore, if you choose to ship the goods to other places and then count the shipping costs, it is actually far less profitable than selling them in Bangta City and several surrounding cities. Therefore, many chambers of commerce in Bangta City are only willing to sell goods locally in Bangta City, and are not very interested in developing foreign markets.

Now His Majesty the King sets this place as a special economic zone and implements unified tax standards, which can indeed effectively promote the development of the Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City.

But Xu Yi was not very happy.

First, this standard is the first time that the Kingdom’s unified taxation standard has been implemented in the Kingdom of Lampari Kingdom, and Xu Yi is very doubtful whether this regulation can be truly implemented.

Second, it is good to set this place as a special economic zone, but the one who will take over Earl Samoy as the city lord is Earl Stark.

Even if the Stark family's attitude towards the New Air Chamber of Commerce is aside, will this Stark Earl have enough vision and courage like Count Sammo?
