Magic Industry Empire - 727. Chapter 727

Xu was also a little disappointed.

When I learned from Ambassador Hakanin that the Candela Empire will send someone to the Principality of Stantin to inspect the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi was very happy, thinking that his previous efforts have finally paid off, and the Candela Empire finally started to notice. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And this Lord Russell who came with Ambassador Hakanin this time is the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Staff of the Candela Empire Army. Regardless of his status, status or official position, he fits Xu Yi’s previous budget very well, making Xu Yi believe that he will be dispatched. This person, just right, represents the attitude of the Candela Empire.

It’s not too high-spec, but it’s not underestimated.

Originally, Xu also thought that with this contact with Russell, the Candela Empire officials could pay more attention to some of the new flying business associations, and at the same time, they would also pay more attention. Since then, the window of cooperation between the new flying business associations and the Candela Empire will be opened, so that the new flying business associations can enter Candela smoothly. The huge market of the empire.

However, after close contact with Russell, Xu Yi found that he was really thinking too simple.

Although this Lord Russell is classified as a high-ranking member of the Candela Empire’s military and navy, he did not bear any official will of the Candela Empire this time. Even the Candela Empire’s military and even the Imperial Navy could not be represented. It was entirely based on his personal identity. Came.

According to Russell’s own statement, the reason why he came to the Duchy of Stantin to inspect the New Flying Merchants Association this time was simply to come and see the frigate fleet of the New Flying Merchants Association, without any other purpose.

Of course Xu Yi was disappointed with this result, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was the most normal thing.

The Candela Empire is one of the two great empires on the Sainz continent. Even small countries such as the Lampari Kingdom and the Ruelson Kingdom are not worth mentioning in their eyes, let alone in the Principality of Stantin. A small chamber of commerce.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce can arouse Russell’s personal curiosity and interest, and it is entirely because of the peculiarities of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s frigate in the last conflict with the Third Fleet of the Candela Imperial Navy.

If it were not for the suspicion of the incident itself, I am afraid that even Russell would not have the idea to find out, then this incident might be suppressed inside the Candela Empire military department, as if it had not happened.

Xu also knows very well that even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has a huge influence in these nearby countries, it will never be put in the eyes of the Candela Empire, so it will not be shaken by Russell’s attitude.

But through this incident, it also reflected a problem.

The Candela Empire Army Department paid so little attention to this matter, which shows that they have lost their vigilance.

Otherwise, the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce deliberately showed such peculiarities under Xu Yi’s instruction, and the Candela Empire Military Department should pay attention to it anyway.

And the fact now is that if Russell wasn’t personally curious about this matter, the things the New Flying Merchants Association’s escort fleet had done would be the equivalent of glaring at the blind man.

After thinking about these issues, Xu Yi’s disappointment subsided slightly, and he continued to warmly entertain Russell and his party according to the previous plan.

Russell was interested in the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi showed him the escort fleet generously.

When Russell and his two assistants saw the huge magical ship made of steel up and down with their own eyes, the shocked look on their faces was definitely not a pretense.

However, no matter how surprised they were at what they saw, Russell remained silent at the end of the three-day inspection until he finally left the Duchy of Stantin and did not give any definite response.

But Xu is also certain that he will have some thoughts in his mind after passing the assessment these days.

Compared to Russell and his two assistants coming and going in a hurry, leaving nothing, taking nothing away, Ambassador Hakanin came to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce again, and gained the same satisfaction as before.

According to the private agreement reached between Xu Yi and him in private, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce once again sold him various household magic machinery worth a total of 300,000 gold coins at a price 10% lower than the market price.

According to Xu Yi’s understanding, these household magic machines are currently in Wimbledon, the capital of the Candela Empire, but they are on sale at nearly twice the price here and are in short supply.

Even if the freight on the way from Stantin back to Wimbledon is the responsibility of Ambassador Hakanin himself, as long as these household magic machines are transported to Wimbledon and sold, he can get a minimum of 150,000 gold coins from them. Huge gains.

Since I met Xu Yi at the beginning of last year, it has only been a year since Ambassador Hakanin has obtained more than 400,000 gold coins from his cooperation with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Before that, no matter how greedy he was in the Candela Empire and the Ruelson Kingdom by virtue of his identity, he could only acquire tens of thousands of gold coins in a year.

Cooperating with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can obtain benefits far more than nearly ten times before. It is no wonder that he will very happily abandon the discord when meeting Xu Yi for the first time, regard Xu Yi as his best partner, and even follow Xu Yiyan’s plan .

He believes that Xu Yi’s suggestions to him will definitely bring him huge benefits.

However, this time, the things that Xu Yi talked to him privately before leaving still made him stare in surprise.

“Let me invest in building roads in my own empire?” Ambassador Hakanin stared at Xu Yi with an incredible expression. “I said President Xu, are you kidding me?”

“No, I don’t mean to be joking.” Xu Yi shook his head.

“Not kidding? No, no… I still think you’re joking. You should be very clear about how much it costs to build a highway. I don’t have that much money. Besides, it’s not good for me.” Hakanin used it. Shook his head vigorously.

Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand: “You are misunderstood. I am not asking you to pay for the construction of this road yourself. All the funds required for this road will be borne by our New Flying Business Association.”

“Huh?” Ambassador Hakanin looked at Xu Yi in wonder. “Chairman Xu, why are you doing this? Your new flying business association will pay to build a road in our Candela Empire. Is there any benefit to you?”

“Of course there are benefits, but I won’t be able to see them for the time being.” Xu Yi smiled. “But for you, Ambassador Hakanin, there are obvious benefits.”

Ambassador Hakanin was even more puzzled: “What good is it for me?”

“Please look at the map.” Xu Yi turned and walked to the map hanging on the wall, and stretched out his finger to draw a line from the Principality of Stantin to the Candela Empire on the map. “Ambassador Hakanin, I would like to ask you a question. How much is the transportation cost of transporting the household magic machinery you ordered from here to Wimbledon?”

“That’s hard to say.” Ambassador Hakanin shook his head slightly. “But if you calculate it according to the transportation capacity of a large freight magic locomotive, it would cost thirty gold coins to run a trip.”

“Is it thirty gold coins? Have you ever counted it, where are these thirty gold coins mainly spent?” Xu Yi asked again.

Ambassador Hakanin frowned, thought for a moment, looked at the map that Xu Yi pointed with his finger, and gave a wry smile: “President Xu, I understand what you mean. The transportation cost of these thirty gold coins is at least half of it. It was spent on the way between Wimbledon after entering the territory of our Candela Empire.”

Xu Yi nodded, thinking that Ambassador Hakanin wasn’t so stupid as to be worthless.

“From here to the junction of the Principality of Norton and the Candela Empire, the total distance is approximately 1,500 kilometers, but from the junction to Wimbledon, the total distance is only less than 500 kilometers. The mileage is so much different, but the freight is different. Not much. Ambassador Hakanin, I think you should be very clear why this difference is caused?”

Ambassador Hakanin smiled bitterly and nodded: “Of course I know. There is no other reason, it is because the roads in our Candela Empire are too bad. Those shit mud roads are usually so-so, but when it rains, it is simply Just can’t walk. Five hundred kilometers on the road here takes only half a day to run, but in the empire, it takes at least two full days.”

Seeing the resentment of Ambassador Hakanin, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that you would understand.

“So the road I planned is to connect to Wimbledon from this junction. If this road is successfully built, and then transport goods from here to Wimbledon in the future, it will save a lot of time and freight. Haha. Ambassador Canin, do you think this is not good for you?”

Ambassador Hakanin’s gaze swept back and forth several times on the section of the Candela Empire that Xu Yi was referring to, and slowly nodded.

“If there is such a road, it is indeed too convenient. But President Xu, if the road is built, the whole journey will probably be close to 500 kilometers. Your new flying business association will have to invest at least one million gold coins, right? ”

“Money is not a problem.” Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. “The main question is how to make this road successful. Ambassador Hakanin, because our Chamber of Commerce is subject to many restrictions in the Candela Empire, there is no way to come forward to build this road, so whether this road can be successfully built, it must be yours. Come come forward. If you want, you only need to obtain a permit to build a highway. You don’t need to bother about other aspects, whether it is funding, personnel or preparations. What do you think?”

Ambassador Hakanin hesitated: “But I suddenly came forward and said that such a road would be built, which would definitely make many people doubt…”

Xu Yi smiled and stretched out a finger to Ambassador Hakanin: “If it succeeds, I will sponsor you 100,000 gold coins in my own name. It is a thank you for your selfless help.”

“One hundred thousand gold coins?” Ambassador Hakanin swallowed hard, then nodded vigorously. “Okay, deal!”
