Magic Industry Empire - 539. Chapter 539

“Mr. President…”

Sebas handed Xu Yi the financial statements of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce last month, with a strange expression on his face.

“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Xu Yi took it and asked strangely.

“No problem, it’s just…the profit of our chamber of commerce last month… actually rose!”

Seeing Sebastian’s incredible expression, Xu Yi laughed and looked through the financial statements in his hand, and found that it was exactly what Sebas had said.

According to statistics, the net profit obtained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last month after putting aside all costs, actually exceeded one million gold coins!

This is not only a significant increase over the previous few months, but also a significant increase compared to the same period last year.

It is no wonder that Sebastian will behave so weird, because according to the original expectation, the New Flying Business Association will definitely be affected by the ban of the Magic Industry Administration, and the overall performance will drop sharply, and the profit will drop seriously.

However, the facts are different from what most people expected.

Although within the first month after the Magic Industry Administration’s ban was issued, both the sales performance and total profit of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce experienced a serious decline, but from the second month onwards, this momentum of decline has completely stopped. And it continues to improve, and even last month it was able to exceed the level of the same period last year.

“This is actually nothing strange.” Kennard, CEO of the Chamber of Commerce on the side, smiled and said, “Although we cannot produce magic machinery in the Kingdom of Lampari due to the ban by the Administration, the Commercial Administration has never forbidden us to continue to operate. Wang sells magic machinery in the country, so it doesn’t actually make much difference.”

“Well. Although the overall relocation of the factory and workshop has affected production, it has been so long now and our Chamber of Commerce has resumed normal production. In fact, it is not much different from before. If you want to compare, because we don’t need to be as restricted as before. In the overall plan of Yuluoyu Valley, on the contrary, many more factories and workshops have been built than before, and the production capacity has been greatly increased.” Ankato, the head of the household magic machinery department, added.

“Yeah, the idiots in the Administration Department didn’t expect that after the damn ban on our Chamber of Commerce, those people in the kingdom would be more willing to buy magic machines from our Chamber of Commerce, right?”

“That is, now Bangta City even launched an event, calling on everyone to buy only new flying magic machines in the future, and boycott the magic machines of the ten chambers of commerce.”

“I’ve also heard. I heard that this event is so loud that even several surrounding cities have joined in. Now the magic machines of other chambers of commerce can’t be sold in Bangta City and the surrounding cities…”

…

Hearing the discussion in the meeting room, Xu Yi couldn’t help shook his head.

The people in the Magic Industry Administration issued such a ban on the New Flying Merchant Association, apparently wanting to directly put the New Flying Merchant Association to death.

However, they did not expect that the New Flying Merchants Association would actually build a brand new production base on the Black Rice Wasteland in a short period of time, and it only took more than a month to resume normal production.

The Magic Industry Administration’s treatment of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has aroused many people’s doubts and anger in the Lampari Kingdom.

Under the propaganda of many newspapers and people close to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, a wave of support for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and resisting the Magic Industry Administration has erupted in the kingdom of Lampari.

It is precisely because of this wave that the sales performance of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has rebounded sharply in the past few months, and even achieved a new breakthrough last month, with a record monthly profit exceeding the one million gold coin mark. .

Correspondingly, the various types of household magic machinery produced by the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration have met unanimous resistance from the people in the Lampari Kingdom, and sales have been extremely bleak.

There are even many cities where demonstrations against the ten chambers of commerce have erupted one after another. The sales points of the ten chambers of commerce in these cities have been smashed, which can be said to be in the entire kingdom. All caused a sensation.

After knowing these things, Xu Yi was a little bit dumbfounded.

Compared with ordinary people, he certainly knows more things and naturally sees more clearly.

He knew that the attitude of these people in their hearts to support the New Flying Business Association might be true, but the riots that followed were not so simple.

There is a great possibility that these people have been used by others.

The cities where these things happened were clearly cities that had expressed support for Sevigny before. It can be said that the positions of the stubborn old-school nobles represented by the current King Eric and the Magic Industry Administration are completely different.

When they say this, they are undoubtedly showing their attitude and demonstrating to the other faction.

The Magic Industry Administration’s ban on the New Flying Merchant Association gave them a very good excuse.

So strictly speaking, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually being used now.

But Xu Yi didn’t care much about this.

The faction represented by King Eric has made it clear that it will not support him at all and is still suppressing it everywhere, so naturally he doesn’t need to think about them.

Even if Severini is now willing to stand up and shout, Xu Yi may immediately express his strong support for her.

However, Xu Yi could only smile at the thought of Severini.

Since the last time the five hundred private guards were brought over and handed over to Xu Yi and asked them to cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to clean up the orcs on the Black Rice Wasteland, Servigny went straight back to his private territory, which is said to be He didn’t take a step out of his territory for more than two months.

She did this obviously to make it clear to everyone that she would not interfere in any internal affairs of the kingdom.

Those cities that support her have caused these things, I am afraid it is just playing the piano against the cows.

“Well, anyway, I don’t have any thoughts about the Lampari Kingdom for the time being.” Xu Yi sighed in his heart and raised his hand to interrupt the heated discussion in the meeting room.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused, Xu Yi glanced at the financial statement in his hand again, and said to Sebas: “Sebas, don’t be too happy too early. I’m sure that next month, or next Months, or even the next few months, the financial statements of our chamber of commerce will not look good.”

Sebastian’s expression changed immediately: “My Lord, do you think of any idea that requires a large amount of investment? I have to warn you that our Chamber of Commerce has invested too much this year, and now we don’t actually have much funds. If you If we don’t pay attention to this, we might end up in difficulties.”

“I don’t need to remind you of this, I know very well.” Xu Yi waved his hand. “Investing in this kind of thing is originally for the purpose of making money, and you cannot resist investment because of temporary financial difficulties, right? And so far, have I made any losses in all the investments I have made?”

Everyone in the meeting room was silent.

Everyone recalled in their minds all the investment actions that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has made since its establishment, and found that indeed, as Xu Yi said, there was no loss. On the contrary, no matter what investment, no matter how unpopular it was at the beginning, Even if someone scolded Xu to be crazy, in the end, it turned out that the new flying business association made a lot of money.

After so many things, no one within the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will question any of Xu Yi’s investment decisions.

But if you’re serious, Xu Yi still failed his investment once, and this time the failure was extremely serious, and it still has a profound impact on the New Flying Business Association.

That is the investment in Her Royal Highness Severini.

Of course, this is political investment, but it is a different matter from business investment.

“Well, Lord President, I am not questioning your investment ideas, but just want to remind you to pay attention to the current financial situation of the Chamber of Commerce.” Saibas thought for a while, and continued euphemistically: “If it is not a very necessary investment For the project, I suggest that you should wait a few months, at least until the base on the Black Rice Wasteland is completely completed before you consider it.”

“I’ve written down this suggestion. But Sebas, I suddenly found…I was completely misled by you. Actually, what I want to say is not because I thought of a new investment project, but I received a message that will make the financial statements of our Chamber of Commerce in the next few months more ugly.”

“What news?” A group of people looked at Xu Yi curiously.

A piece of news will lead to a few months of profit decline in the eyes of a large chamber of commerce such as Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? This is incredible.

Xu Yi put down the financial statements, and his expression became a little more solemn.

“According to the latest news that I have received, the Lampari Kingdom Department of Commerce is about to pass a new regulation to classify and categorize various commodities used for circulation in the kingdom. Produced in the kingdom and sold in the kingdom They are classified into one category, which is regarded as commodities circulated within the kingdom. Commodities produced in the kingdom and sold to other countries and regions are classified into one category, and they are regarded as commodities exported abroad…”

“Then we produce in other places like this, but sell it in the kingdom?” Ankato couldn’t help but interrupt Xu Yi aloud.

Looking at Ankato with an anxious look, Xu Yi said solemnly: “This category is the same as the products produced in other countries and regions but sold to the Kingdom of Lampari, and they are considered imported products.”

Kennard immediately raised his eyebrows: “So, the goods we sell into the kingdom now are the same as imported goods, and they need to pay import duties?”

“Yes.” Xu Yi nodded slightly.

As soon as the voice fell, there was an immediate bang in the conference room, and everyone couldn’t help but yell.

“No? Our Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari. How can it be regarded as an imported product?”

“That’s right. We are a chamber of commerce under the name of Bangta City. We are clearly regarded as a local chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari. Why do we count our things as imports? Should we build a production base outside, even if it is a foreign chamber of commerce? ?”

“Huh! What’s so hard to understand? It’s clear that the ten chambers of commerce can’t compete with us, and they think of new shameless tricks!”

“Yes, it must be so! These guys are simply shameless!”

“Too despicable! Too shameless!”

…

Xu Yi waited quietly for a while, and everyone calmed down slowly and focused on Xu Yi again.

“I understand your anger. But to be honest, when I received this news, I wasn’t very angry, but found it very funny.” Xu Yi laughed seriously. “Think about it, they can even get the Magic Industry Administration to impose a ban on the production of magic machinery in the kingdom, so it’s not surprising that such a ban is issued next time, right?”

Kennard frowned slightly: “But you will grow up, if we continue to sell magic machinery to the Lampari Kingdom, the cost will be greatly increased because of the import tariffs. The profit will be much less. ”

“So I said that in the next few months, the financial statements will be ugly.” Xu Yi smiled with spreading hands. “After all, the Kingdom of Lampari is currently the largest market for our chamber of commerce, and we will definitely be severely affected.”

Ankato thought for a while, and said loudly: “Mr. President, why don’t we raise the price?”

“No.” Xu Yi immediately shook his head.

“Why not?” Ankato was puzzled. “This is entirely a matter of the Department of Commerce. We raised the price because of the unilateral increase in tariffs by the Department of Commerce. Isn’t it wrong?”

“It is not the way I hope to transfer the questions from the Commercial Department to ordinary people who need to buy magic machines.” Seeing Ankato seems to have to say more, Xu Yi emphasized: “I have already decided on this matter, no Need to discuss again.”

Ankato paused, and could only obediently swallow the words that had reached his throat.

Kennard glanced at Ankato, thinking that this guy has been with the guild leader long enough, why don’t he understand the guild leader’s character?

After thinking for a while, Kennard asked Xu Yi: “Then the president, what should we do next?”

In response to the gaze cast by the crowd, Xu Yi smiled slightly: “I said a long time ago that what our Chamber of Commerce needs to do is to make big cakes, not to grab cakes with others. Since the Kingdom of Lampari does not welcome us , Then we will turn our attention to more places that welcome us. On this continent, there is not only the Kingdom of Lampari, is it?”
