Magic Industry Empire - 455. Chapter 455
No matter how much the old Earl Longli considers the common people, he is unwilling to be extravagant, but in the end he is still a noble with status, and some things are unavoidable.
For example… a large private manor that every noble family must have…
“Chairman Xu, please come in.” Earl Longli enthusiastically invited Xu Yi into the gate of the manor, and called several servants to entertain the magic locomotive and the staff of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the convoy behind and settle down. “The conditions of this manor are not very good. Please forgive me, President Xu.”
Xu Yi shook his head and smiled: “Anyway, it’s much more convenient than camping in the wild, isn’t it?” After a pause, Xu Yi added quietly. “What’s more, in this manor, there is no need to worry about what dangers will be encountered.”
Earl Longli took a stop, glanced at Xu Yi, hesitated for a while, looked around, and signaled Xu Yi to come with him.
The two entered a hut on the side of the manor alone. After the servant gave them hot tea, Earl Longley waved his hand to signal that the servants all retreat. After a moment of silence, he said solemnly: “President Xu, it was you who were attacked last night. ?”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: “Why do you say that it is true?”
“Because since yesterday, I have been chasing your convoy and followed, but this morning, I saw some…” Count Longley frowned. “Unfortunate situation…”
“Is it just a pity?” Xu Yi seriously observed the look on Earl Longli’s face, trying to see from his expression what connection he had with this incident.
However, although the expression on Earl Longli’s face was complicated, most of them were bitter and helpless. What was left was the concern about the attacked New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
“President Xu, I understand that you might doubt me because of our previous position in Batlu, but in this matter, please believe me. I do express regret and anger.” Earl Longli paused. , The conversation turned. “Chairman Xu, your loss last night… was it serious?”
“Very serious.” Xu Yi sank his face, his expression sad. “In the attack last night, our Chamber of Commerce lost three loyal guards. I am deeply saddened and sorrowful about this. When I return to Anvimar City, I will definitely report this matter to the Kingdom Council in detail. To get the compensation they deserve for these three guards.”
Earl Longli was taken aback: “Only three guards were lost?”
Xu Yi glanced at him faintly: “Only? Earl Longli, in my opinion, all guards are precious employees of our Chamber of Commerce, and the loss of any one is beyond our tolerance.”
“Ah no, President Xu, you misunderstood, I don’t mean anything. It’s just…” Count Longli waved his hand, the expression on his face still a little weird. “In that situation, you actually only lost three guards… I have to say that the combat effectiveness of your guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is really excellent.”
“What? Earl Longley, are you very clear about the situation last night?”
Count Longli shook his head quickly: “No, no, I just calculated it from the traces of the battlefield I observed in the morning. If I’m not mistaken, I’m afraid it was a team of elite cavalry who attacked you…”
“Is this calculated by you?” Xu Yi looked at Count Longli with a smile on his face.
Seeing Xu Yi always put on a posture of not believing himself, Count Longli smiled helplessly, and didn’t know how to continue for a while.
He did not speak, but Xu Yi also watched him not speak, and the room fell silent for a while.
After the awkward atmosphere was maintained for a while, Earl Longley coughed and put a smile on his face again, and asked Xu Yi: “Chairman Xu, your destination this time is Sever City, right?”
“Yes.” Xu Yi nodded.
“The last time I went to Severe City to meet with the Earl of Summer, he mentioned that he would invite you the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to go to Severe City for investment and construction. If I’m not wrong, the supplies you transported on the convoy this time Is it related to this?”
“That’s right.” Xu Yi put down his teacup and glanced at Earl Longli, thinking that he took the initiative to ask about this matter. Could it be that he had some special ideas just like he had speculated before?
Earl Longli pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Then President Xu, can you reveal how much money your Chamber of Commerce plans to invest in Sever City this time?”
Xu Yi smiled slightly and stretched out a finger: “The initial estimated investment is 1 million gold coins.”
“One million gold coins?” Count Longli opened his eyes slightly, and his breathing suddenly became a little quicker. It seemed that even as the lord of his city, he was shocked by the amount. “Is it just the beginning?”
“Yes. Our ultimate goal is to build a production base belonging to our Chamber of Commerce in Sever City, using Sever City as the center of our Chamber of Commerce in the northeastern part of the kingdom to radiate the entire northeast of the kingdom, and even here. Completing the trade interaction between the Chamber of Commerce and surrounding countries and regions. One million gold coins can really only be regarded as an initial investment. In the final estimate, I think the total investment should not be less than five million gold coins.” Xu Yidao.
“Five million gold coins…” Earl Longli sighed softly, his tone full of surprise and admiration. “Chairman Xu, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is really rich and powerful, but in a Sever city, you are actually willing to invest a huge amount of five million gold coins.”
Xu Yihe laughed and said, “I am a businessman. I invest money naturally to make money. I am confident that if I invest 5 million gold coins in Sever City, I will earn far more than 5 million gold coins in the future. ”
“I believe you can do it, President Xu.” Earl Longli nodded and asked again: “But President Xu, can I ask one more question?”
“Excuse me.”
“Your Chamber of Commerce has decided to invest five million gold coins in Thurwell City. Although I believe that President Xu, you are indeed capable of earning more gold coins than you invested, but where do you plan to invest these five million gold coins? Going? Can Thurwell City develop like Bonta City with the investment of these funds from your Chamber of Commerce?” Count Longli asked earnestly.
“I don’t dare to be 100% sure about this. In addition to capital investment, the most important thing about whether a city can develop quickly is that the decision-making person must be strong enough. Of course, Earl Summers used to be the lord of Bangta City. At the time, I had a lot of good experiences working with him. I believe that we can still cooperate very happily in Sever City this time. I think as long as I can deal with some details, the rapid development of Sever City is entirely possible. Expected.”
Hearing Xu Yi’s answer, Earl Longli fell into deep thought.
Although the expression on his face hasn’t changed much, from his changing eyes and unconscious fingers tapping on the table, it can be seen that his heart is constantly struggling at this moment.
After a while, until the tea in Xu Yi’s cup was about to cool down, Earl Longli stopped his fingers, his eyes gradually turned firm, and he looked at Xu Yi and smiled: “President Xu, since you finally came to our Bart If you visit Lucheng, can you stay here for one more day and let me entertain your rare guest?”
Xu Yi glanced at Earl Longli with profound meaning: “Earl Longli, I am afraid it is not too convenient for you to leave me here as a guest?”
Earl Longli smiled slightly: “Now you are already a guest here, what’s the inconvenience? And I do have a lot of things to ask President Xu for your advice, I hope President Xu can stay here for a day with respect.”
Xu Yi thought about it. After thinking for a while, he nodded: “Well, see Earl Longli’s kind invitation. I and my subordinates will interrupt here for one more day. As for what you ask, Earl Longli, you are too polite. If you have anything to discuss with me, please do not hesitate to speak.”
The smile on Earl Longli’s face was a little brighter: “Definitely.”

“Snapped–”
The exquisite natural amber jade bottle that was bought by Earl Will at the high price of 13,000 gold coins at the last Anvilmar auction, from the hands of Master Panda, fell heavily on the ground, and instantly fell into fragments on the ground.
The surrounding servants were shocked, but they did not dare to show the slightest strange expression on their faces. They could only droop their heads deeply, not even daring to take a breath.
They all know that when Earl Will is furious, it is best not to be noticed by him, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.
Lewan, the secretary of the City Lord’s Mansion of Lemat City, frowned and glanced at the fragments of the jade bottle on the ground and waved his hand. Several servants immediately walked out as if they were pardoned.
Seeing that the last servant who went out was very cleverly closing the door, Lewand waited for a while before speaking to Earl Will: “Lord Earl, you should make a decision.”
“Decision? I’m decisive!” Earl Will yelled angrily. “Assault the fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on my site at night? It actually attracted the rascals from the Kingdom of Sark! This damn is just trying to fix me to death! Michelle of the dog day, this must be the case. That old fox did it! I never finished with him!”
Lewandeep frowned, thought for a while, and sighed: “My lord, if this matter was really done by Count Michel, then I think we must not have any evidence. And…” Lewand With a wry smile, he continued: “I suspect that this incident may have been done by him under the instruction of His Royal Highness.”
“His Royal Highness’s instruction?” Earl Will was taken aback, thought for a moment, and a deep chill came into his eyes. “Why does His Royal Highness harm me? What good is it for him?”
“No, His Royal Highness may just instruct to get rid of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and Earl Michel’s choice to do this in our Lemart City is just his own decision.” Lewandana analyzed. “Earl Michel has been vying with you, Lord Lord, for the dominance of the Northeast Province. If you can defeat you through this matter, then his purpose will be achieved. Even if you can’t directly defeat you, as long as this matter makes The Kingdom Council is wary of you, and that can also enable him to achieve his goals.”
“He wants to be beautiful!” Earl Will snorted coldly, walked a few laps in the room contemplatively, and beckoned to Lewand.
Levan leaned over immediately.
Earl Will stuck to his ear and whispered softly: “Listen well, you are going this time…”
After listening to Earl Will’s instructions, Lewann looked at him in surprise.
If you really do what Earl Will ordered, doesn’t it mean that the city of Lemart and the city of Dulecton will be completely broken?
But seeing Earl Will’s sullen face and the fierce light in his eyes, Lewandard dared not say anything.
He knew very well that Earl Will in this state was the most dangerous.
