Chapter 75 Unreasonable Request
This meal was very enjoyable...
In order to show his apology, Mekadu specially invited Erica to a newly opened restaurant outside Luoyu Valley, and put on his demeanor that he thought he was the most gentleman. At the same time, he worked hard to create a good atmosphere with the common topic of magic motorcycles.
In addition, Mekadu is actually funny and humorous, so Erica feels very happy during the meal, and the two have a great time talking.
After the lunch ended, Mekadu used it very smartly again and continued to ask for the excuse of magic motorcycle related issues. With Erica's consent, he could come to her at any time.
After sending Erica back to work in Luoyu Valley, Mekadu looked at Erica's slim and colorful back when he left, and couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, because of this accident, I would actually meet a rare beauty like Erica. I am so lucky.
However, when he thought of the magic motorcycle, Mekadu instantly put down the messy things in his mind, turned around and left Luoyu Valley, and got straight onto a new medium-sized magic bus that happened to be driven from Bangta City to Luoyu Valley.
When I was riding a bus, the journey from Luoyu Valley to Bangta City was more than 60 kilometers, and it took at least more than four hours to get there.
Now that I have changed to a new medium-sized magic bus, it only takes more than two hours to arrive. Because it saves nearly half of the time, it quickly became popular with everyone.
At the beginning, Filson's horse carriage only used a medium-sized magic bus to test the operation on every bus route, but it was too novel. Many people did not dare to accept it at first.
But once you try to sit in and experience it once, everyone discovered that compared to the carriage, this passenger magic motorcycle is much better than the carriage in terms of comfort and the most important speed.
So after just half a month of trial operation, countless people strongly asked Filson to change all the buses and horses into medium-sized magic buses.
Many people even suggested that if Filson's carriage continues to adopt buses, they will refuse to take them.
So on the bus routes where Filson's horse carriages are now running, medium-sized magic buses are increasingly replacing horse carriages.
However, due to the current production capacity limitation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Filson's carriages have not yet been able to replace all buses and horses with medium-sized magic buses, so that there will be situations where medium-sized magic buses and horses coexist on many bus routes.
Of course, the bus route connecting the Luoyu Valley was replaced by Filson's horse carriage at the first time.
Two hours later, Mekadu jumped out of the medium-sized magic bus and headed straight for the newly built Filson Carriage Headquarters outside Bangta City.
This headquarters was just fully completed and put into use last month. The most important reason is that the bus system in Bonta City is becoming more and more mature, resulting in the increasing number of buses and new bus magic motorcycles that Filson carriages need to manage. If it continues to be established in Bonta City, it will appear that the place will be too small, and it will be difficult to renovate it.
This is also a trend that has emerged in Bonta City now.
With the rapid development of Bangta City, the small Bangta City, which was once more and more closed and crowded, has caused many merchants and even ordinary residents in the city to move outside Bangta City.
Moreover, when Count Samo was the city lord two years ago, he proposed the concept of re-establishing the new urban area of Bonta City. Now the roads outside Bonta City are laid relatively densely. In conjunction with the Amley Chamber of Commerce's vigorous construction for several consecutive years, the suburbs outside Bonta City have now become extremely complete.
If you really want to compare it, the conditions of the new city outside the city are actually much better than those in Bangta City. It is not only much spacious, but also has more and more convenient auxiliary facilities - such as street lights that can be seen everywhere.
Moreover, now Earl Stark, a guy who hindered the development of Bonta City, finally left, and beyond everyone's expectations, it was His Highness Sevini who served as the city lord. It immediately made Bonta City full of vitality burst out. Within a month after Her Highness Sevini took over as the city lord, the new city outside the city seemed to have changed every day. Now, compared with last year, it has almost completely turned into a brand new look.
The new headquarters of Filson Car and Horse Walk is located in the most prosperous area of the new city outside the city. It is about two kilometers away from the west gate of the old city of Bonta City. It covers a very wide area and is almost one-fifth of the old city of Bonta City.
Mercadu entered the headquarters gate and went straight to the office area in the center. After showing his certificate to the receptionist, he soon met President Pompei in the president's exclusive office on the top floor.
"Come on, Mekadu, please sit down." Seeing Mekadu come in, Pompei smiled and pointed to the seat opposite and signaled him to sit down.
Judging from President Pompei's not very polite behavior, it is known that this is not the first time Mekadu has met him.
After bowing slightly, Mekadu sat down opposite President Pompei, took out the contract signed in the New Air Chamber of Commerce and handed it over.
"Oh? Have you bought it?" President Pompei took the contract and glanced a few times, sighing: "It seems that President Xu really treats you with preferential treatment. Although he has not completed the orders of our Chamber of Commerce and several large chambers of commerce in the city, he has forced one out to sell it to you."
Mekadu hurriedly smiled and said, "President Xu is generous and knows that I want to buy a medium-sized magic bus to be used as a free rental, so I am very supportive of me. When I came to see you, President Pompei, or did President Xu recommend it."
President Pompei nodded: "Well, if you hadn't been holding President Xu's recommendation letter, I wouldn't have seen you." After that, he glanced at Mekadu, smiled, and continued: "Actually, to be serious, what you want to do is a competitor relationship with our Chamber of Commerce, and I shouldn't have seen you even more."
Mekadu immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "President Pompeii, you are as generous as President Xu. Of course, you will not refuse a small person like me to accompany you to have a meal."
"Don't flatter me, I believe I can't compare to President Xu." President Pompei shook his head, looked at the contract in his hand again, and gave it to Mekadu. He continued: "To be honest, since President Xu values you so much and says that the taxi industry has great future, I believe that this industry must be really promising. Since this is the case, according to my previous practice, I will definitely capture this industry in my own hands, so how can you snatch it away from me?"
Mekadu smiled awkwardly, not daring to show off.
Of course he could do his best to be free in front of Erica. But when he faced a big shot like President Pompei, he was really nervous.
There is no way. Although he can now be considered a small property and can even afford a magic motorcycle worth more than 800 gold coins, the difference is undoubtedly too great compared to the big man who controls Filson's carriage like President Pompei.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that when he communicated with President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he seemed not to feel so nervous.
It seems that President Xu has a natural temperament that can make people unconsciously relax in front of him and feel trust in him.
This... is probably the temperament of a real big shot?
President Pompei naturally didn't know that just one word made Mekadu think so many times in an instant. He glanced at Mekadu's respectful and flattering smile on his face. He nodded with satisfaction.
"But when I was discussing this matter with President Xu, he kept emphasizing to me that he should give others some room for development. I agree with his opinion very much, so this will give you this opportunity to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce. So you have to remember that although this opportunity is mainly obtained by you, don't forget the role that President Xu plays in it."
Mekadu nodded repeatedly: "It must be certain, I will definitely not forget President Xu's help to me. Of course, in my mind, President Pompeii, you have helped me the most. I will definitely follow your instructions in the future. I will do whatever you want me to do."
President Pompei waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated. Since I decided to let you do this, then you can do it well. Come and see this cooperation agreement first. If there is no problem, sign it first."
Mercadu took the agreement and looked carefully. He confirmed that all the above terms were basically determined according to the results he had discussed with President Pompei before.
Although there are some subtle differences in some places, the impact is not big in general, and even some differences are taken advantage of no matter how you look at some of the differences.
After reading this agreement, Mekadu had a perfect gratitude on his face and nodded to President Pompei and said, "No problem."
"Okay, sign it if you have no problem," said President Pompei.
Mekadu took the pen handed over by President Pompei and was about to sign his name at the end of the agreement, but suddenly his heart moved. He opened the agreement and read it carefully twice on one of the terms. He hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the terms and looked at President Pompei.
"This... President Pompei, I bought this magic motorcycle myself privately. There is no need to go to your Pompei Chamber of Commerce for inspection every year to undergo qualification review, right? You didn't mention this when we talked last time."
President Pompei glanced at the clause and said carelessly: "Oh, this one is not what I mean, but he proposed it when I talked to President Xu last time. The reason for this is to regulate and make it easier to manage your private magic motorcycle, and it is also for the sake of our Bonta City. It actually doesn't have that much impact on you."
Mekadu frowned: "This is a bit... a little extravagant? This is a magic motorcycle I bought myself. If others want to rent it, they just need to come to me. It should have nothing to do with others, right? Why do you have to report for inspection every year and review qualifications?"
President Pompei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me, I actually don't understand why President Xu is so strict with this. But you don't have to object to this. Even all the magic motorcycles used in our Filson Carriages must comply with the regulations he put forward, so don't expect to resist."
"Then have you not protested to President Xu?" Mekadu asked incredible.
President Pompei frowned, glanced at Mekadu, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I won't have as many things as you. President Xu said that this is for the safety and norms of the entire industry, and in the long run, it is for the healthy development of the entire industry. I believe his judgment, so I did not object. As for you... if you are unwilling to accept it, I don't mind you refusing to sign this agreement."
Mekadu was stunned, but he didn't expect that President Pompei was so tough in this regard. After thinking about it, he stopped talking and picked up the pen and owe his name at the end of the agreement.
However, he and President Pompeii completed the agreement and walked out of the gate of Filson's headquarters, he still couldn't figure it out.
Chapter completed!
