Chapter 134

In order to welcome the arrival of the New Air Chamber of Commerce convoy, on the night, Earl Samo made a special trip to hold a grand welcoming ceremony at the Lord's Mansion in Thurwell City. Not only did the owners of the New Air Chamber of Commerce convoy, but also invited almost all the prominent figures in Thurwell City, including almost all the nobles and merchants in the city, and even some officers of the Thurwell City Guards.

Xu Yi originally did not want Count Samoy to hold such a welcome ceremony, and he thought it was too troublesome, but he also knew very well that this was a necessary means for Count Samoy to quickly integrate the New Air Chamber of Commerce into Thurwell City, so naturally he could not refuse.

Even though Xu Yi didn't like to attend a banquet and deal with this kind of scene, in order not to let down the painstaking efforts of Count Samo and to be the well-deserved protagonist of this banquet, Xu Yi had to cheer up and had a cordial conversation with every visitor at the banquet, and even needed to record the name, identity, background and other information of each visitor.

The New Air Chamber of Commerce wants to develop vigorously in Thurwell City, even with the strong support of the city lord, Earl Samoy, it is inevitable to cooperate closely with other people in the city.

After finally dealing with a group of guests, Xu Yi had a preliminary contact with all the guests at the banquet and finally got a chance to breathe.

Just as he raised his glass and took a sip, Princess Caroline suddenly appeared.

"President Xu, are you very tired?"

Looking at Princess Caroline's energetic look, Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "Aren't you tired? Princess, I think you are more popular than me."

"What? Are you jealous?" Princess Caroline smiled and raised her wine glass. She touched Xu Yi lightly, took a sip, but suddenly sighed lightly, turned around and looked at the situation in the banquet hall. She said quietly: "Although I am very popular, most of the people who come to me are men. They are just interested in my body, not like you, President Xu, in your strength."

"The body is also part of strength. I hope they can be interested in my body too. At least this will make me more confident in my handsomeness, right?" Xu Yi smiled.

Princess Caroline chuckled, threw a charming look at Xu Yi, and chuckled, "President Xu. Actually, you are already very handsome. And I am interested in your body."

As he spoke, Princess Caroline approached Xu Yi a little while standing on tiptoe, her face almost touching Xu Yi's face. She let out a sigh of relief, and the fragrance mixed with alcohol hit Xu Yi's cheek, and said incredibly charmingly: "I said it last time when I left Bonta City, President Xu, I will make a bed in Thever City in advance, and wait for your arrival. Now my bed is ready, so are you interested in spending a good night with me tonight?"

"Your Highness Princess, you're drunk." Xu Yi took a step back and turned his face slightly. He avoided not to look at Princess Caroline.

Princess Caroline, who had an intoxicated face, looked extremely charming and had too much lethality. He could not guarantee that if he continued to be tempted like this, he could still hold on.

Princess Caroline laughed and no longer approached. Instead, her eyes turned and quickly changed the topic: "President Xu, I am still thinking about the reinforced concrete wall you mentioned during the day. I would like to ask, if our principality could produce steel bars and cement on its own, would this part of the cost be saved a lot?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't recommend you to do this, at least it's not recommended now. The reason why the reinforced concrete structure is solid. In addition to the reason for this structure itself, the most important thing is the quality of the steel bars and concrete used in it. It's okay for concrete, but the quality of the steel bars cannot be met by the current technology of your Drake Principality. If you want to solve the material problem rashly, the consequences may be very serious."

A wry smile flashed across Princess Caroline's face: "Although I really want to say that you are lying to me from the standpoint of a merchant, I know very well that President Xu, you are not such a person. I think... it is impossible to let your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly transfer steelmaking and concrete manufacturing technology. So when will your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be willing to go to our Drake Principality to invest and build factories directly? If you produce locally in our Duchy of China, at least we can save a lot of basic materials, right?"

"I think you should be very clear that this decision is not my right, but in the Kingdom of Sakhs." Xu Yi said.

Princess Caroline frowned slightly, and while siping wine, she thought seriously.

It has to be said that Princess Caroline, who always looks seductive to Xu Yi, is indeed very attractive, but for Xu Yi, he prefers to see Princess Caroline think seriously.

For him, the one who arouses his favor and attracts him the most is the kind of woman who can have his own thinking and opinions.

Steele was able to make him excited and finally chose to combine with Steele because Steele performed very well in this regard.

After thinking for a while, Princess Caroline put down her wine glass and smiled again on her face.

"Okay, it seems that our cooperation can only be done step by step, and we cannot be in a hurry. President Xu, I will make a small request to you now. Can you satisfy me?" asked Princess Caroline.

"As long as I don't invite me to spend a good night with you, I can discuss it." Xu Yi said.

Princess Caroline was stunned, then couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter.

"President Xu, am I just a female pervert in your eyes? Don't worry, I won't eat you again." Princess Caroline gave Xu Yi a resentful look, then corrected her face and said seriously: "My request is that when your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is building a production base in Thurwell City, I hope to visit the whole process."

Xu Yi thought about it and nodded and said, "Yes, but you must avoid some confidential things."

"Of course." With Xu Yi's consent, Princess Caroline seemed extremely happy and extended her hand to Xu Yi: "President Xu, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Xu Yi also reached out and held her gently.

Just now, Princess Caroline felt the softness and smoothness in her hand. Princess Caroline suddenly exerted force, causing Xu Yi to tilt towards her involuntarily. Then Princess Caroline stood on tiptoe and kissed Xu Yi's face like lightning.

"President Xu, I won't close the door tonight, I'm waiting for you."

Seeing Princess Caroline leave with a gust of fragrant wind and laughter, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and touched her face, turned her head to look left and right, but found that many people around him were staring at him in surprise.

Xu Yi was a little surprised.

With Princess Caroline's image as a socialite outside, it is said that she should never show her tendency towards herself so explicitly in such public places.

She can't really fall in love with herself, right?

Xu Yi shook his head and threw the whole thought out.

He turned his head and found that Count Samo was waving to him not far away. He hurriedly walked over.

"Come on, Xu Yi, let me introduce you. This is Maral, the general of our Severe City Guard. You may have many places to cooperate in the future. Let's get to know each other first." Earl Samo pointed to a burly and rough-faced middle-aged man beside him and said to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi quickly extended his hand to Maral: "Hello General Maral, our chamber of commerce will need more care in the city of Thever in the future."

Maral laughed heartily and said, "President Xu, you are so polite. The city lord mentioned you to me a long time ago, saying that after your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce arrives, our city guards must cooperate with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's work so that your Chamber of Commerce can produce with peace of mind in our Thunder City. Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will never be disturbed in Thunder City."

"Then I have to thank General Maral for your care."

"Xu Yi, if you need someone to take care of you, you must give some benefits." Earl Samo suddenly laughed. "If there is no benefit, you want Maral to do your best, so how can it be possible?"

Xu Yi was stunned. But he found that Maral also had a smile on his face. He immediately understood and laughed: "Of course, the city lord has taught the right lesson. So, General Maral, what benefits do you and the brothers of the city guard want?"

Maral laughed loudly and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder hard.

"Okay. I like people like President Xu who are so cheerful. Brothers don't want any excessive benefits. Didn't your Chamber of Commerce provide each of the Zhenbei Army with a set of armor and weapons before, and you can still give each of our brothers in the City Guard Army one set of armor and weapons."

Xu Yi blinked his eyes and asked Maral: "Dare you ask General Maral, how many brothers are there in the city guard?"

"Not much, it's just over eight thousand." Maral replied indifferently.

"Eight thousand?" Xu Yi gasped and couldn't help but shake his head.

The entire set of armor and weapons provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Zhenbei Army are sold at a price of up to fifty gold coins. If it is eight thousand sets, it will be a total of 400,000 gold coins!

Although Xu Yi is not unable to afford it, and if the cost price is calculated, it is about 200,000 gold coins, but after giving so much in one breath, Xu Yi still feels a little painful.

"Hey, Xu Yi, what are you thinking? You are not giving it to you for free, but you scared you." Earl Samo smiled and scolded: "I just hope you can sell us 8,000 sets of steel weapons and armor to the Guards of Thever City at a cost."

Xu Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Since it is your request from the Lord of the City, it's easy to say. Eight thousand sets are too unspeakable to show my sincerity. Ten thousand sets! General Maral, are you still satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Satisfied! Of course I am satisfied!" Maral laughed and nodded repeatedly, then patted Xu Yi on the shoulder hard. "President Xu, in the future, you will have anything to use our city guards. Come to me casually. I promise to do my best to help you!"

Looking at Maral's back as he turned and left, Xu Yi rubbed his shoulder, which was a little sore after being patted by Maral, frowned and asked Earl Samo: "Sir, will there be no problem with changing the city guards under his control privately?"

Earl Samo smiled slightly and shook his head: "Although there will be some problems, it's not a big problem. And not only does it change the city guards, I also want to build an arsenal in Thurwell City. Xu Yi, can your new flight chamber be completed?"

"Build an arsenal?" Xu Yi looked at Count Sammo in shock. "Sir, do you want to rebel?" (To be continued)
