Chapter 124: A Choice Must Be Made
Being turned away by Lemart City naturally destroyed the plan of the New Air Chamber of Commerce's original rest in Lemart City.
The entire convoy left the road and entered the only old dirt road connecting the north that could also accommodate magic motorcycles, and the driving speed inevitably dropped.
Before I could walk out of the area of Lemart City, it was already late.
Seeing nightfall, Xu Yi gave up the idea of finding a village to stay and ordered the convoy to choose a place to camp in the wild.
Fortunately, Xu Yi attached great importance to the investment in Severe City, which is close to the front of Bonta City. He had made complete preparations before departure, so he naturally calculated this accident and had already made corresponding plans.
The freight magic locomotives in the fleet are not all constructed by factory construction materials such as magic machine tools and other magic tools to Thurwell, but also include a series of corresponding daily necessities.
With the order of Xu Yi, the staff of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce of the Convoy took action together and moved a series of emergency daily necessities such as emergency tents, quilts, and soon set up a small camp in the open space next to the road.
In addition to these basic living supplies, the fleet even brought several home magic machinery.
With the magic crystals that had been prepared long ago, several magic stoves soon ignited the fire in the camp. After a moment, the aroma of food was already wafting out of the entire camp.
The dwarves even took out a big pour of wine from the cargo magic motorcycle and poured a big bowl for everyone in the convoy.
Suddenly the aroma of wine and food was mixed with the aroma of food, making the entire camp seem to be full of life. It doesn’t look like a convoy doing long-distance transportation, but more like a team that specializes in camping and traveling.
Xu Yi glanced at the expression on his face and looked a little embarrassed. However, he still hugged Cambi, who was a barrel thicker than his waist. He snorted softly: "Cami, I remember telling you that you are not allowed to drink when you work, right? Why did you secretly bring the wine here this time?"
Camby smiled awkwardly: "Sir, it's already the night off work time... Don't worry, I can guarantee that all of us didn't drink a drop of wine during the day, and we definitely didn't delay our business!"
Xu Yi snorted, but still raised the bowl beside him.
Camby was immediately overjoyed. He raised the barrel and poured it down at the bowl in Xu Yi's hand.
It can be seen that he was extremely skilled in this movement. Holding such a large wine barrel could make the wine in the barrel perfectly fill the bowl in Xu Yi's hand without splashing, without any waste.
Xu Yi leaned over and sniffed it, but felt the wine smelling so much that he couldn't help but praise it.
"Good wine!"
Cambie laughed: "How is it? President, is this wine good?"
"Well, it smells good, I just don't know how it tastes."
Xu Yi picked up the bowl and took a sip. He felt that the wine was soft and soft in his mouth, but the wine smelled mellow. He held it in his mouth as if he wanted to melt the whole mouth halfway.
I just felt a heat wave rushing straight into my stomach when I drank it, but it didn't feel spicy. It just made people feel hot all over, just driving out all the cold outside.
Although Xu Yi is not a person who loves drinking, he still feels that the wine has a good taste and can't help but take another big sip.
Feeling that his body was warmed by the alcohol, Xu Yi nodded in praise: "Very good, this wine tastes good and can keep the cold, which is quite suitable for the current situation."
Seeing that Xu Yi finally agreed, the smile on Cambi's face became extremely bright instantly, and he laughed loudly: "I knew you would definitely like it, President."
Xu Yi took another sip, thought for a while and asked, "This wine does not seem to be produced by Sachine Manor. Could it be that it was brewed by your winery?"
"Yes, this is the first batch of successfully brewed wines from our Dwarf Brewery. President, how do you think it is compared to the wines from Sachy Manor?" Camby asked with a smug look.
Xu Yi gestured to him with a thumbs up: "It's very good, it's not bad at all compared to the wine at Sachs Manor. By the way, your dwarf brewery has been preparing for so long. When will it be ready to start formal investment and mass production and sale? I remember that I had already prepared all the brewing equipment two months ago?"
"The patriarch and the patriarch of Monto said that they would launch it during the Chinese New Year, which would make them famous, so they delayed the time a little bit." Cambi replied.
"That's it..." Xu Yi glanced at the pure-colored and fragrant wine in the bowl in his hand, then looked at the thick wine barrel that Cambi put beside him, and frowned: "I said, you might not plan to sell it like this, right?"
Camby was stunned: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that Cambi had been under his command for a long time, but he still didn't learn any business acumen.
"Don't you know how to package it?" Xu Yi pointed to the huge barrel and said, "Are you planning to sell it with such a large barrel?"
Camby scratched his head, looking puzzled: "Is there any problem with this? Isn't it all sold like this..."
Xu Yi thought that when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce ordered fine wine from Sachs Manor before, he got a large bucket and a large bucket, and he was relieved in an instant.
The advertising packaging of fine wine on the Continent of Sines is still in the most primitive word-of-mouth stage, and is far from the various packaging and sales methods on the earth. No wonder neither the Slubi nor the Monto did not think of this.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi waved to Kambi, signaled him to sit down, and prepared to explain to him in detail various ways of packaging the wine.
When I just talked about filling fine wine with smaller fine wine bottles and serving different types of guests, the caravan escort Hart found Xu Yi.
"Sir, do you think you should strengthen the defense arrangements tonight?"
Xu Yi was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at the woods and wilderness that were in a dark and dead silence after the night fell around him. He thought about it and nodded slightly.
"After all, it's the wilderness, so it's good to pay more attention. You can arrange the specifics of how to do it. I won't interfere."
Seeing Hart take the order and leave, Cambie snorted coldly and said, "The city lord of Lemart City is really inexplicable. He insists on blocking us outside the city and not allowing us to go in. Don't he know that a lot of our cities are desperately inviting our Chamber of Commerce to invest? He is not afraid of offending us and we will never come again?"
Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that this involves the political struggle in the human kingdom, it would be better not to tell Cambi.
"Everyone has a different position, so there is nothing to blame." Xu Yi responded casually, and suddenly remembered a question. "Speaking of this, Cambi. There are also a large number of dwarves on the Continent of Seines? Are you just divided into tribes and live their own lives, and there is no close connection with each other like us humans? Is there no conflict between each other?"
"Of course it's impossible. Although we dwarves are not as intrigue as you humans, we always have different opinions. But now you humans are too strong on this continent. It's difficult for us dwarves to just take care of our own lives. We don't have time to play internal struggles."
"That's true..." Xu Yi nodded, thinking that if the dwarves' living environment was comprehensively improved, would there be internal divisions like humans?
Thinking about the smaller number of elves now and pay more attention to cultivation, if they were also divided into several factions within a small country like humans and would fight each other...
That was a scene that Xu Yi couldn't imagine.
After instilling some basic knowledge of promoting wine packaging in Cambi, the two of them had some preliminary discussions on the shock absorption system of the magic motorcycle, and the night color had become thicker.
Since they were camping in the wild, there was no entertainment. In addition, they had to get up early tomorrow morning to travel, so shortly after dinner, the people in the convoy fell asleep in a camp surrounded by magic motorcycles.
As the president, Xu Yi naturally has the privilege to occupy a tent alone, but perhaps because of the first time he was camping in this situation, or perhaps because of the cold, Xu Yi couldn't fall asleep after lying for a while, tossing and turning on the bedding, and his mind was about being blocked by Lemart City today.
Being turned away from Lemart City was not something that Xu Yi could not accept, but the meaning behind this matter forced him to pay attention to it.
Although Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce supported His Highness Prince Sevini, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered a certain impact on commercial activities in some places in the kingdom that supported His Highness Prince Eric, overall it did not have much obstacles.
However, this time, Lemart City simply blocked the convoy of the New Air Chamber of Commerce outside the city, and did not even let the convoy see the city gate, which undoubtedly means that Lemart City has clearly expressed its attitude.
What Xu Yi is worried about now is whether this matter was decided by Lemart City itself or was done by His Highness Eric's instructions.
If it is the former, at most it will be abolishing the city of Lemart, and the impact will not be great.
But if it were the latter, the situation would be a bit worrying.
As for the current internal situation in the Kingdom of Lampari, the party that supports Prince Eric still has an absolute advantage.
Because the parties who support Prince Eric are conservatives of the kingdom, they have a deep-rooted sphere of influence and influence in the kingdom, and the scope they can affect is much larger than that of Prince Sevini.
If Prince Eric clearly wants to compete with Prince Sevini and take tough measures against the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, then at least one-third of the entire kingdom will be able to make nearly half of the cities like Lemart to take such tough measures and refuse the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to enter.
If such a thing really happens, it will be a heavy blow to Xu Yi's plan to develop the New Air Chamber of Commerce into the entire Lampari Kingdom and to allow the magic industry to cover the entire Lampari Kingdom.
Although Xu Yi has always supported His Highness Sevini, he only appreciates His Highness Sevini's ability to treat new things like the magic industry and his attitude of truly considering ordinary people in the kingdom, but in fact, he cannot support her desperately.
In Xu Yi's view, competing for the throne is simply a trivial matter compared to promoting the development of the entire magic industry system, so he has never had much disgust towards Prince Eric, and even thought that if he had the opportunity, he would cooperate with Prince Eric.
But now the facts tell Xu Yi a truth, that is, it is difficult for business to completely get rid of political influence, and the top political struggles such as fighting for the throne for the entire kingdom are actually far more direct than he imagined and there is no compromise at all.
The actions taken by Prince Eric, or those who supported him, have been forcing Xu Yi to make a choice.
Should we continue to maintain a semi-neutral attitude, or should we clearly support His Highness Sevini?
Thinking that he would be forced to face such a choice one day, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
The face of Prince Sevini, who always had a gentle and kind smile appeared in his mind. Although Xu Yi was hesitating, the balance still involuntarily turned to Prince Sevini's side.
At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the ground.
A moment later, a shrill scream rang through the field and clearly entered the tent. (To be continued...)
