There is an old saying that ideals are full, and reality is skinny.

Xu Yi originally felt that since he could seize resources in advance with his familiarity with the industrialization process of the original world and buy ten, eight or even more magic crystal mines, then the price of magic crystals will inevitably increase significantly in the future. Relying on these magic crystal mines alone can rest assured.

Who knew that he was soon hit by a cruel reality.

This reality is...no money!

"President, the Chamber of Commerce has only 361 gold coins left in the remaining working capital. According to my investigation results, if you want to buy the cheapest magic crystal mine in Bonta City, you also need to invest at least 3,000 gold coins." Sebas stated this cruel reality to Xu Yi without any concern about how ugly Xu Yi's face was.

"At least three thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi thought with a calm face. "As long as he said that, it will take at least one month to consider this matter?"

"Sir, this is still impossible." Sebas shook his head. "Although if all the work of the Chamber of Commerce goes well, you can indeed have a net income of more than 5,000 gold coins, as a qualified Chamber of Commerce, at least you have to reserve enough liquidity for yourself. Otherwise, if the situation occurs, it may cause the Chamber of Commerce to face a serious crisis. In addition, I am sorry for offending me. President, you have too many investment directions. The funds used for research only account for more than one-third of the Chamber of Commerce's income. This is not a healthy Chamber of Commerce's funding operation plan."

"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Sebas and smiled, "Is this what you mean or what Lord Viscount?"

This Sebass was actually recommended by Viscount Leslie.

According to Viscount Leslie, although according to the agreement with Xu Yi, he had no right to make decisions on the decisions of the Chamber of Commerce, but he had the right to suggest and know, so he sent someone to the Chamber of Commerce as his representative.

Heinzer was very worried about this and felt that this was a chess piece inserted into the Chamber of Commerce by Viscount Leslie. Even if Viscount Leslie said it nicely now, he would still use this chess piece to influence the decisions of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, and may even gradually control the Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi's reaction was completely different from Heinze.

Since Viscount Leslie already owns 30% of the shares of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, it is reasonable for him to send a representative to enter the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no reason to refuse.

What's more, there are still many places where they need Viscount Leslie. If they refuse the reasonable request of Viscount Leslie at the beginning, then the cooperation agreement reached before would probably be gone.

As for Viscount Leslie, who was worried about, controlling the New Air Chamber of Commerce through Sebass, Xu also scoffed at this.

Viscount Leslie said that he was also a viscount of the kingdom. He was a decent nobleman. He was the top figure in a small city like Bonta City. Even because of the family behind him, his status in Bonta City is no less than that in the city lord.

Relatively speaking, although their new airfield chamber has made a lot of money by selling magic fans, if it is just the strength of the chamber of commerce, it is not very powerful in Bangta City. As for other aspects, it is naturally not even more powerful.

If a powerful nobleman like Viscount Leslie really wants to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then there is no need to be such a trouble. There are a hundred more direct and simpler methods to swallow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in one go.

So Xu Yixun accepted Sebass. Even after he learned that Sebass had been the chief financial manager at a chamber of commerce, he handed over all the financial management of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to him.

Facts have proved that Sebas is indeed a rare talent. It took only two days to count the financial details of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and organized them in an orderly manner, not as chaotic as before when only Xu Yi and Heince reconciled the accounts.

Heinzer was very worried that Sebas was actually in charge of the Chamber of Commerce's finances, but Xu Yi was secretly happy, thinking that Viscount Leslie had done a great thing and brought him a rare talent.

Of course, at some times, Xu Yi still cares about Viscount Leslie behind Sebas, which is why he asks this question.

Hearing Xu Yi's question, Sebas bowed and bowed: "It's my personal opinion and has nothing to do with Lord Viscount."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "Well, whose opinion is not important. Sebass, do you think the research funds account for one-third of the income? Actually, I think it's too little. Because the income of the Chamber of Commerce is not high at present, the so-called third is more, and in fact it is only more than one thousand gold coins. In fact, this research fund is very low in my opinion. As the income of the Chamber of Commerce gradually increases in the future, I will continue to invest more funds in research, and maybe more than you think."

Sebas pondered for a moment and frowned, "Sir, I don't quite understand why you made such a decision. The sales of magic fans are now very good and the prospects are also very impressive. You don't have to invest so much money in research. Although I agree that if you want to continue to occupy the market, it is necessary to develop a new generation of magic fans, but you don't need to be so anxious, right? Another point is that you have invested a lot of money in your research... I'm afraid it has nothing to do with magic fans, right?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that this last question was probably the real question in Sebass's mind, and it should also be Viscount Leslie's question.

Xu Yi is really not easy to answer this question. After all, in reality, most of his investment in research has been spent on research that has nothing to do with magic fans.

For example, in Master Lanu's dwarf tribe, he invested five hundred gold coins in one breath in one month. At the same time, after the agreed dwarf craftsmen arrived, Xu Yi invested two hundred gold coins in them, and there was a trend of gradual increase.

In addition, although he created the Magic Research Institute only has a decent researcher, Steele, he has invested more than one hundred gold coins.

This huge amount of funds, which is nearly one thousand gold coins, is indeed nothing to do with the magic fan on the surface.

Moreover, these studies cannot be seen in a short while. Even if Xu Yi wants to explain that these studies have a lot to do with the establishment of the industrial system in the future, I am afraid that no one on this continent can understand it.

"Sebas, I'll ask you a question. Why do you think the magic fan of our Chamber of Commerce is a best-selling?" Xu Yi thought for a while and asked back.

"Accurate positioning." Sebass obviously had a long time ago studied this issue and replied without hesitation: "Compared to the expensive large frost array, the magic fan that sells for only two gold coins is undoubtedly more likely to be accepted by most families who do not have the ability to arrange large frost arrays and need to deal with hot summer days. Moreover, the consumption of magic fans is extremely low. After buying it, the money spent in this area will not even exceed ten silver coins per month, which is exactly affordable for all families who buy magic fans. Therefore, for these families, although the effect of magic fans is not as good as that of large frost arrays, it can just meet their requirements. So after seeing the advent of magic fans, these families bought them without hesitation, which caused a big sale of magic fans."

"It's right." Xu Yi nodded in admiration. "Then I'll ask you again, is it difficult to build a magic fan?"

"It should be said that it is not difficult." Sebas shook his head. "In fact, imitations appeared just after the magic fan was released, but the quality of the imitations was not as good as that produced by our Chamber of Commerce, so it did not cause much impact. And, Lord, you had excellent response methods at that time, which allowed our Chamber of Commerce to survive that crisis smoothly."

Speaking of this, a hint of admiration flashed through Sebas's gaze when he looked at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi proposed the concept of "brand" in the imitation incident, which really made Sebas very impressed.

Before being sent here by Viscount Leslie, Sebass did some research on the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. He was surprised to find that after the imitation incident, the sales of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce's magic fans did not decline but rose. Moreover, when many people wanted to buy a magic fan, they would ask if it was Xinfei brand at the first time. If not, they would simply not buy it. This directly led to the small workshops that wanted to imitate the magic fans completely cutting off this idea.

Although some guys wanted to print the new flying brand logo on the imitation magic fan, Xu Yi withdrew from the store system at this time, that is, the new flying brand magic fan was only sold in the store in Bonta City, and all the sales of other places were fakes.

This almost completely cut off the life of counterfeits, so that inside and outside Bangta City are now completely monopolized by the Xinfei Magic Fan.

"Since it's not difficult to create, it means it's difficult for us to stop others from making magic fans too."

Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Xu Yi's face. There is no patent protection law in this world. Even if he invented the magic fan, he did not have corresponding protection measures. If others wanted to imitate it, it would be effortless.

"Although we have no problem here in Bonta City, no one knows what the new flying sign is outside Bonta City, so we have no advantage in other places. You should already know that in Saltan City, just over a hundred kilometers away, there has been a factory that also makes magic fans, and their sales in Saltan City are also good."
