Chapter 61 The Middle Class
No matter what kind of answers Earl Stark wants, Xu Yi did not give him any affirmative answers. The chapters are updated the fastest
This was originally a reaction Xu Yi should have. Even if he really supported His Highness Sevini, it would be impossible to express distrust or any negative opinion on His Highness Eric on the surface, because this is disrespectful first.
What's more, even if Earl Stark acts like he wants to talk to Xu Yi sincerely, Xu Yi cannot really believe that he, a stubborn conservative who belongs to the Stark family, will have any true feelings for him.
After all, the two have different positions and what determines all their actions is not just their own ideas.
Especially for people like Earl Stark who represent the attitude of the Stark family, every word they say and every question they ask is included in the intentions of the Stark family.
So Xu Yi had neither affirmed nor denied this issue, but just expressed vaguely that he had never seen Prince Eric before, and he had no idea of any understanding, and of course he could not say whether he was optimistic or not.
Earl Stark seemed very disappointed with the answer given by Xu Yi, but he felt a little relieved, and did not ask more questions. Instead, he asked some of the following general planning plans of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and ended the conversation.
When he walked out of the city lord's mansion, Xu Yi vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something.
But after thinking about it carefully, he found that he could not have missed anything from Count Stark. So he just thought about it for a while and Xu Yi gave up and continued to think about this issue.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Xu Yi went straight to Filson's carriage and found President Pompei who was staying in his office as usual.
President Pompei was probably happy when he saw Xu Yi. He originally wanted to invite Xu Yi to sit down and have a tea, but after Xu Yi left a sentence, he immediately jumped up with a spiritual activity that was absolutely inconsistent with his body.
"What? The magic motorcycle has been successfully developed?" President Pompei stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, his face full of shock and joy. "Really? Where? Take me to see!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly and hooked up at President Pompeii. President Pompei immediately followed him with a smile.
However, Xu Yi did not take President Pompei back to the Magic Loop Rain Valley site immediately, but came to the clear water and blue sky commercial residential community on the Sandy River that was being developed and constructed by the Amley Chamber of Commerce.
This area along the river embankment has been renovated, and the overall environment has become extremely clean and tidy. The commercial residential communities developed on the banks of the Sandy River, which are also particularly beautiful, are all villa buildings built according to the concept of the modern magic house of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because of the concept of a modern magic house, these small buildings have all the magic machinery and equipment used in households and enjoy a unified supply of magic crystals. Living in such a small building will allow people to experience a new life that is completely different from the past.
For ordinary people, this concept is not only very novel, but also extremely practical and convenient.
So even though the Amley Chamber of Commerce set the price of each small building at a high price of 8,000 gold coins, it still sold nearly 100 buildings in just two months, accounting for almost half of the entire community.
It is precisely because of this situation that President Cruise admired Xu Yi even more.
At the beginning, he thought that the new concept Magic House Living Community like this would be very expensive because the cost is too high. Not many people could afford it.
But those who are truly rich don’t look down on such small buildings, so the sales situation will definitely be very bad.
However, when conducting actual sales, Xu Yi forced President Cruise to raise the price of his previous 5,000 gold coins to 8,000 gold coins.
Then after the sales starts, the sales situation is much higher than President Cruise's expectations.
The nearly one hundred small buildings sold alone are enough to make Amley Chamber of Commerce recover their costs and earn more than 200,000 gold coins.
If all the planned communities are sold, Amley merchants can even make a huge profit of at least 500,000 gold coins!
Although President Cruise has heard Xu Yi analyze this situation, he has been very puzzled.
Because in his opinion, the civilians in Bonta City are either very poor and cannot afford any houses, or they are very rich, and they simply buy their own manors.
No one should pay attention to such housing that is neither up nor down.
Xu Yi told him that in fact, some so-called "middle class" have appeared in Bangta City. These people insist on being particularly rich, but it is also wrong to say that they are poor.
Such houses that are obviously different from ordinary civilians but do not have as expensive as those manors, which just happen to meet the needs of these people.
Facts also prove Xu Yi's judgment.
President Cruise had a vast friendship in Bonta City, but in the end he took out money to buy these new concept magical commercial housing, they were all ordinary civilians in Bonta City who had no impression of him at all.
If he insisted on saying anything, he probably only knew one of them, that is, Kovac, vice president of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce.
When he saw that Kauwachi, who was just an ordinary farmer in Ireland more than two years ago, suddenly took out ten gold tickets with a denomination of one thousand gold coins and asked to sell him a small building where he chose, President Cruise almost threw his chin in surprise.
When can even an ordinary farmer who would not have been taken seriously before, he would take out a full ten thousand gold coins in one breath?
When President Cruise passed on his thoughts to Xu Yi, he was ruthlessly ridiculed by Xu Yi.
The Irish United Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the past two years and has now become the leading industry for all parts processing companies in Bonta City. In the past six months, it has even entered the ranks of producing magic machinery.
For example, the Irish magic kettle that was just launched this year has stolen many markets in Bonta City from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of its excellent quality and low price.
Now, according to Xu Yi's estimate of the monthly profit of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce, the minimum is more than 20,000 gold coins.
As the vice president of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce and the largest shareholder after Feriman, Kauwachi took out 10,000 gold coins in one breath, it was nothing to be surprised at all.
President Cruise exclaimed at this, but he was moved by why Xu Yi wanted to raise a tiger.
Since we know that the Irish United Chamber of Commerce has good potential, why not prevent it in advance and they will snatch the market from their own names?
Xu Yi smiled without saying a word or explaining this.
Of course he wouldn't tell President Cruise that this was actually the result of his intentional push.
Otherwise, he would have a great chance to directly kill the Irish Union Chamber of Commerce in its infancy.
However, this can indeed be considered a problem of raising a tiger, and Xu Yi can't refute President Cruise.
"Hey, President Xu, you said... should I drive a bus line here too?" The voice of President Pompeii pulled Xu Yi back from the memories of seeing the Blue Shui Lantian Community in front of him. "Look. The environment here is so good now, and there will definitely be many people coming here to play without any trouble in the future. Although it is not far from Bonta City, it will take at least half an hour to walk over, and it cannot be considered close. If a bus line is opened, I believe there will be many people taking it."
Xu Yi looked at President Pompei with contempt, thinking that you can have some prospects.
"Although it's good to open one, it can only be used as a welfare for citizens at most. Don't think about making money by relying on this." Xu Yi shook his head. "Although this place is quite far away, President Pompei, don't forget. There are bicycles now. If you come here by bike, it will only take ten minutes at most."
When he heard Xu Yi pick up the bicycle, President Pompei immediately glanced at Xu Yi with a grievance and said with a sad face: "I said to President Xu, can you not mention the damn bicycle? It is because your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed a bicycle, so many people have stopped riding carriages now. Many people even ride bicycles from our Bonta City to Kalma City or Saltan City. I really can't figure it out. It's six or seventy kilometers. They would rather ride bicycles than ride carriages!"
"Of course, because riding a bicycle does not require money." A burst of laughter suddenly came from behind, but President Cruise, who received the notice, came over. "Besides, riding a bicycle is not slower than riding a carriage, so why do you have to spend money?"
"Hmph, at least it's comfortable to ride a carriage." President Pompei glared at President Cruise, turned to look at Xu Yi, with a fat face full of smiles. "But when President Xu's magic motorcycle appears, I think everyone will definitely choose to come back and ride the magic motorcycle that we carriages. Are you right, President Xu?"
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi and laughed: "I heard President Xu mention this thing last year. I didn't expect it to be truly developed until now. I want to see if this thing is so magical, which made me wait for it for more than a year."
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, and called the two of them to the extremely luxurious private carriage of President Pompei and drove quickly towards Luoyu Valley.
When the carriage started, Xu Yi took out a map of the Kingdom of Lampari from his arms and spread it in front of the two of them. He said seriously to the two of them who showed their confusion: "This time we made a special trip to visit the first official carriage of the Magic Locomotive. In addition to showing you the performance and advantages of the Magic Locomotive far exceeding the carriage, there is also a very important proposal that requires you two chambers of commerce to work together. If the cooperation is good, this cooperation will most likely bring huge profits beyond your imagination to both chambers of commerce."
President Cruise and President Pompei looked at each other and saw the light emitted from each other's eyes. Then, nodded to Xu Yi at the same time: "Tell me."
Looking at the expectant expressions of the two, Xu Yi smiled and pointed to a red line on the map that represents the road leading to Anweimar City on the road, and said seriously: "This cooperation is actually something that Filson has done before, but it has no systematic things. I have summarized it. In fact, it is to move materials to various places for circulation and conversion, referred to as logistics." (To be continued...)
