Chapter 5 Jumping out of the standard
After being told by Xu Yi, Kauwachi stayed for a while, then said with a embarrassed look: "President Xu, we are not... no, we just... we finally got this opportunity, so we want to catch it... It's not that we are unwilling to supply your New Air Chamber of Commerce parts, really! You believe me, we will definitely use the best processing of the last batch of parts! Absolutely no..."
Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted him again.
"Okay, needless to say, I understand what you mean." Xu Yi smiled and did not express any anger as Kauwach was worried. "I won't blame you, but Kauwach, tell me, is this what you mean, or Ferriman?"
"This..." The embarrassing expression on Kauvac's face became even stronger, but he still answered honestly: "This is what I mean. Ferriman completely disagrees."
Xu Yi nodded.
Ferriman is an honest man. He always has a kind attitude towards Xu Yi. Of course, he will not give up the New Air Chamber of Commerce orders just because there are orders from other places.
However, it is precisely because of this that Kouvac, a "smart person", is easier to control the Irish United Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, the president Ferriman is not as good as Kouvac in the Chamber of Commerce, which leads to the Irish United Chamber of Commerce making this decision.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand the choice you made and support this choice. Because from my perspective, of course, I hope that the magic industry can spread throughout the Kingdom of Lampari and even the entire Synes continent. The more chambers of commerce like you can get out of Bonta City, the more help I want to achieve."
Kauwaqi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, President Xu. I have the same idea. Your New Flight Chamber of Commerce has even developed to other countries. Although our Irish United Chamber of Commerce cannot be compared with the New Flight Chamber of Commerce, we must also have this ambition, right?"
"Well, this idea is correct." Xu Yi nodded in his praise, and then changed his subject. "But Kauwachi, I must remind you one thing. If you look at it from the perspective of your chamber of commerce's long-term development, it is actually not a wise choice to get rid of our new flight chamber of commerce now."
A trace of disapproval flashed across Kauwachi's face. Then he smiled with a sarcastic look: "President Xu, you misunderstood. How could we want to get rid of your New Flight Chamber of Commerce? This is absolutely nothing! It's just that this is a good opportunity, and our Chamber of Commerce's production capacity cannot keep up for the time being, so stop the supply to the New Flight Chamber of Commerce first. When our production capacity keeps up and eases, I definitely hope to continue to cooperate with your New Flight Chamber of Commerce the most."
Xu Yi smiled and refused to comment.
"Okay, since you have decided, I have no objection. After you complete this batch of orders, I will find other chambers of commerce in the city to solve the parts production problem. By the way, you just said that you have two things to discuss with me, so this is the first one, what is the other thing?"
"The second thing..." Kauwaqi rolled his eyes and laughed: "President Xu, you said... Can the parts produced by our Chamber of Commerce continue to be produced according to the standards stipulated by your New Chamber of Commerce?"
"Oh?" Xu Yi glanced at him in surprise: "Why did you have this idea?"
"Because I visited many chambers of commerce in other cities that produce magic machinery before the New Year. I found that many magic machinery produced by chambers of commerce did not actually follow the popular standards of our Bangta City, but they sold very well. If we want to process parts for them, if we still follow the standards of Bangta City, it would be a little unsuitable. So I thought... for orders from other chambers of commerce, there is no need to continue to implement the standards of our Bangta City, right?"
Kauwachi looked at Xu Yi with anticipation.
Although theoretically speaking, the current popular standard in Bonta City is just a proposal from the New Air Chamber of Commerce. It is a mandatory provision in the Bonta City Magical Machinery Business Association, but there is actually no strict implementation of the standard. Therefore, even if the Irish United Chamber of Commerce does not comply with this regulation, it is actually nothing.
However, out of fear of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, Kauwachi still felt that he should get Xu Yi's consent.
Xu Yi looked at Kauvachi with a smile on his face: "When you went to the chambers of commerce to inspect, do you really think the magic machinery they produced is very good?"
"Of course, that's not as good as the magic machinery of the new flying brand." Kauwachi immediately replied firmly. "But I think it's not much worse than the magic machinery produced by other chambers of commerce in our Bonta City, and it's sold very well locally."
Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, since you have made a decision, I have no objection. This standard is not enforced at present. If your Irish United Chamber of Commerce decides not to follow this standard, it is not impossible."
Kauwaqi looked at the expression on Xu Yi's face and asked carefully: "President Xu, are you really not angry?"
Xu Yi was immediately happy: "Why am I angry? This is the decision of your Irish United Chamber of Commerce. As a colleague, I can only give you suggestions at most, but I can't really do anything to you. Of course, as a colleague, I must give you a piece of advice."
"Please say it."
"The production of any commodity, especially industrial commodities, requires a unified standard. The standards bring not only limitations, but more advantages. You may not understand it now, but I believe that it won't take long to understand it." Xu Yi said seriously.
Kauvac's expression was still a little disapproving, but Xu Yi was too lazy to explain to him.
As he said just now, this is the resolution of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce. At least he has no way to punish them at present.
Although there are many ways to make the Irish United Chamber of Commerce suffer with its current status in Bonta City, Xu Yi is not willing to do so.
Let them suffer losses and then experience the benefits of standards from it, which is much better than Xu Yi's forced stopping them now.
And to be cruel, even if the Irish Union Chamber of Commerce suffers losses, it can be regarded as an example of a bloody forest presented to other Chambers.
The New Air Chamber of Commerce can support an Irish Federation Chamber of Commerce, and of course it has the ability to support more Irish Federation Chambers.
The only thing that made Xu Yi feel sorry is Ferriman, the honest man.
Watching Kauvac turn and leave with relaxed steps, Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, turned to face the group of people who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Most of the matters discussed by the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi were about the supply of magic machine tools in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because the magic industry in Bonta City has a good development trend, most chambers of commerce that devoted themselves to this industry in the past two years have made a lot of money. This year, His Highness Sevini has clearly expressed his support for the commercial development of Bonta City, especially the magic industry. These chambers of commerce naturally hope to further expand production scale.
Moreover, this year, more foreign populations have poured into Bangta City, which can alleviate some manpower pressure. It is a very good opportunity to expand production scale.
Therefore, the representatives of these chambers of commerce presidents found Xu Yi in order to propose more magic machine tools orders to the Xinfei Chamber of commerce and prepare for expanding production scale.
Xu Yi just chatted with this group of people and initially determined orders for more than 100 magic lathes, magic forging and pressing machines, magic stamping machines and other magic machine tools.
There are even several chambers of commerce that directly request orders for a whole production line to Xinfei merchants.
Compared with their previous production scale, this step is a huge step.
Xu Yi naturally agreed to it all at once, but in the end, after a brief calculation, Xu Yi actually received an order for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with a total amount of more than 500,000 gold coins.
This order can also be regarded as the first business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the new year, and it can be regarded as a good start.
When everyone left, President Cruise came over with emotion.
"President Xu, I often envy you very much. Just sit here, business will come to you automatically. If our chamber of commerce can have such a hot scene, then I will be happy even if I die tomorrow."
Xu Yi gave him a blank look: "It seems that your Amley Chamber of Commerce is about to lose the blame. It's okay if you pretend to be in front of others, but what should you pretend to be in front of me? I know, just before the New Year, the Kingdom of Rulson signed an agreement with your Amley Chamber of Commerce on the construction of a total mileage of 1,000 kilometers. The total amount involved in this agreement is more than four million gold coins."
"Hey, President Xu, the total amount and profit are two different things. Don't tell me you don't know." President Cruise looked wronged. "Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold 500,000 gold coins, and maybe you can transfer from it to 400,000 gold coins. Our Amley Chamber of Commerce built a road of 4 million gold coins. I'm afraid that you can earn less than 400,000 gold coins!"
"So what about the development of high-end residential villa communities in cities connected to highways? Don't tell me that I can make less money." Xu Yi smiled.
"Haha...this is...haha..." President Cruise looked up and laughed dryly, but he did not answer Xu Yi's question directly.
Xu Yi shook his head and thought to himself that real estate is a profitable industry on earth, but he didn't expect that it would be the same violence on the Continent of Sainz.
The Amley Chamber of Commerce develops the high-end villa residential community on the bank of the Sandy River in the new town of Bonta City. The average selling price of each villa is 9,000 gold coins.
Xu Yi estimated based on various materials that the cost price of a villa is about 4,000 gold coins.
Even if the labor and the cost of purchasing land from the Amley Chamber of Commerce from the City Lord's Mansion, the average cost of a villa will not exceed 6,000 gold coins.
In the calculation, the Amley Chamber of Commerce alone can make more than three thousand gold coins.
There are a total of 188 villas in that community. If we count, this community alone actually earned more than 600,000 gold coins.
This is just a community. If the two residential communities built by the Amrits Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City and Kalma City at the same time are included, if all of them are sold, it will bring nearly two million gold coins to the Amrits Chamber of Commerce.
Taking into account the proceeds from the construction of the Amley Chamber of Commerce last year, the total profit of the Amley Chamber of Commerce throughout the year is enough to surpass any other chamber of commerce in Bonta City besides the New Air Chamber of Commerce.
"Well... President Xu, you are not unaware. Although we make a lot of money, we spend a lot of money. And not every place makes money, but there are still places that are losing money. For example... the investment in that place on the Black Rice Wasteland is currently losing a lot."
When Xu Yi's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard that President Cruise finally mentioned the Black Rice Wasteland.
This orcs are really uneasy. (To be continued)
