A week later, an unusually large convoy crossed the border between the Principality of Norton and the Candela Empire.±,

After driving fast for three hours on the only highway on the southwestern province of the Candela Empire, which was finally fully built and opened to traffic last month, the convoy arrived at the city of Canberra, the capital of the southwestern province, and the location of the Governor's Office of the Southwest Province.

The convoy did not drive directly into Canberra City, but stopped in a clearing field outside the city.

Although this is just a suburb outside the city wall, Canberra is a big city like the capital of the province after all, so it is still very lively, with crowds of people and various hawking sounds. It seems that it is much more prosperous than many small cities.

Xu Yi stopped the magic car and walked down from the cab. He found that the people around him just glanced at the convoy where he was, and then turned his eyes back. He did not show any curiosity, nor did he feel the same amazement as seeing new things.

"The people in Canberra City have seen magic motorcycles many times, and it is no longer surprising." President Cruise explained. "In fact, it is not only magic motorcycles, but also many household magic machinery. People here have seen it many times. You don't have to expect them to be as curious as they first saw it."

"No, I didn't expect this. It's just a little strange. Since these people from the Candela Empire have seen these household magic machines with their own eyes, why is the demand for these things still not very high?" Xu Yi frowned.

"Who told you that they don't have high demand?" President Cruise gave Xu Yi a blank look and pointed to the front right. "Look at what's there."

Xu Yi looked in the direction he pointed and saw a very large stall next to the avenue. The crowd was surrounded by people. It looked very lively.

"What is that for?"

Just when Xu Yi was wondering, a cheer suddenly broke out from the crowd there, and then a person surrounded him held something tightly with his hands, turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that others would steal the things from his arms.

Xu Yi looked closely and found that the treasure-like thing in his arms was a magic fan with a somewhat old style, and he was stunned.

"It's just an old magic fan, so what does he do..."

"Because this is second-hand, it's relatively cheap. It's not easy to get one." President Cruise shrugged. "The weather is so hot now, and this thing is very popular. If an ordinary person here can have a magic fan, it's almost like a life-saving thing."

Xu Yi frowned, still puzzled.

"A new flying magic fan is only priced at three gold coins and fifty silver coins, and it is not much expensive. Why do they want to grab such an old magic fan that is almost eliminated?"

President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi, shook his head and sighed, "Xu Yi, I think you have been separated from the world of ordinary people for too long and have forgotten the most important question. Do you think... three gold coins and fifty silver coins are rare for these ordinary people who can barely eat enough?"

Xu Yi was speechless immediately.

It’s not that he has been separated from the ordinary world for too long as President Cruise said. It’s entirely because there is no concept of “ordinary people can’t afford a magic fan”.

Whether it is the Principality of Stantin or the Kingdom of Lampari, ordinary people in these two countries can easily find jobs that earn at least ten gold coins a month as long as they are not lazy.

If a family of people add up, putting aside the basic living needs and taking out a few silver coins to buy a magic fan is a stress-free thing.

But this is only limited to the two countries: the Principality of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari, because the magic industry driven by the New Air Chamber of Commerce develops the best in these two countries. Now there are various factories related to magic machinery in these two countries, and there is a huge demand for labor, which makes anyone easily find a good job.

But in addition, although the Kingdom of Rulson and the Principality of Drak are also vigorously developing industries related to the magic industry, they are somewhat inferior.

In comparison, the Sakh Kingdom is farther apart.

Because their relationship with the Kingdom of Lampari and the New Air Flight Chamber of Commerce was very tense before, the magic industry was not very developed in the Kingdom of Sakhs.

But compared to the Candela Empire... that's much better.

Although the Candela Empire is one of the two empires in the Continent of Sainz and its overall national strength is second to none on the Continent of Sainz, if we talk about the living conditions of ordinary people... it is not much better than the Kingdom of Lampari seven or eight years ago.

These ordinary civilians who lived near Canberra, the capital of the southwestern province of the Candela Empire, obviously most of them were just in the stage of worrying about their livelihoods. Of course, it was impossible to take out a few gold coins to buy a magic fan.

"What's going on with these old-fashioned magic fans? Although they don't look like the magic fans of our Chamber of Commerce, they can only cost one or two gold coins, right?" Xu Yi asked again.

"You have to ask President Doyle and the others."

Xu Yi turned his head and looked at President Doyle who happened to be walking beside him.

President Doyle laughed dryly, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "This... After we came to the Kandra Empire, we found that there were only a few people here who had seen household magic machinery. They thought the latest household magic machinery was too expensive, so they simply brought the old household magic machinery that had been eliminated before and sold it to them. Ah, they were all very satisfied anyway, I think there is no problem with this..."

Xu Yi immediately understood.

After a long time, after the Candela Empire and the Lampari Kingdom signed a mutual trade agreement, the merchants from the Lampari Kingdom actually collected the old old-style home magic machinery that had been eliminated in the Lampari Kingdom and pulled it to the Candela Empire for sale.

In Xu Yi's opinion, this was undoubtedly a very scam, but it just fits the current situation of the Candela Empire, which really made him speechless.

"Well, this is also a benefit to ordinary people in the Kandra Empire." President Doyle continued to laugh. "Anyway, they can't afford new models, and these old models are much cheaper. For example, the magic fan that the man bought just now doesn't even need a gold coin, so they are of course very welcome."

"One unit, one gold coin? What price did you buy in the Kingdom of Lampari?" Xu Yi asked.

President Doyle's face looked even more embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he approached Xu Yi and replied in a low voice: "We learned from President Xu what your new flight chamber did before, and collected it from the old-for-new activity. The actual cost... one unit is about...ah, it's less than twenty silver coins..."

Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

One unit is less than twenty silver coins? Because the newly signed mutual trade agreement between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kandera Empire stipulates that the tariffs on magical machinery products are reduced the most, so even if they quoted this old magic fan one gold coin, the tariffs they need to pay will be only ten silver coins at most.

Including transportation costs, the cost of such a magic fan is no more than forty silver coins.

Now they shipped it to a price of nearly one gold coin, and they could transfer at least half a gold coin.

"No, no, President Xu, we are centrally supplying the merchants here and asking them to sell them, so in fact, the price sold from us is far less than one gold coin." President Doyle quickly waved his hand and shouted for justice.

"What about the profits of using the old-for-new trade-in campaign to sell a batch of new magic fans?" Xu Yi gave him a blank look.

"Hey, President Xu, isn't this what I learned from you?" President Doyle smiled.

Xu Yi waved his hand: "Okay, I can't control these things. But I need to remind you that word of mouth is difficult to establish, but it is very easy to break. The short time before household magic machinery entered the Kander Empire, it is a critical period when it needs to establish word of mouth and leave a good impression on the people of the Kander Empire. At this time, it is best not to use this defective product to fool people. Otherwise, if you leave a bad impression, if you want to turn it around in the future, you will need to make efforts far beyond your imagination."

President Doyle frowned and disagreed with Xu Yi's words.

However, he did not refute Xu Yi in person, but just smiled and said goodbye and left.

"Hey, Xu Yi, you shouldn't waste your saliva. These small businessmen have no long-term vision. They obviously want to make a fortune, so that they don't consider word of mouth, overall industrial development, etc. For these things, maybe only you, the freak, will always remember them." President Cruise sneered when President Doyle walked away.

Xu Yi snorted coldly: "I don't believe you haven't thought about these problems. Otherwise, your Chamber of Commerce's apartment outside Canberra wouldn't be so valued by you, right?"

President Cruise shrugged: "I'm not their little businessman who has no knowledge and no vision."

"Ha..." Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, thinking that President Cruise is getting thicker and thicker now.

But he was right. Compared with presidents from small chambers of commerce like President Doyle, President Cruise has seen many big scenes over the years, and his vision has long been far beyond ordinary businessmen.

Moreover, he has always been influenced by Xu Yi and habitually looks at it for a long time. Naturally, he will not harm the huge benefits he may gain in the future for the sake of such a tiny cent.

"But when it comes to paying attention, I still attach more importance to highways than this apartment." President Cruise turned his head and asked Xu Yi seriously: "How confident do you think... are you convinced to convince the Candela Empire to build a large-scale road this time?"

Xu Yi blinked: "Prince Frank and the southern provinces will be at least 90%. But if you convince the entire Candela Empire... it will not exceed 30%.

President Cruise was stunned: "Why?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "There is no way, because the Kandra Empire is too big..." (To be continued...)
