Magic Industry Empire - 834. Chapter 834

Although the attitude of the Candela Empire made Xu Yi feel strange, leaving aside Autof, the other businessmen in Pompeii that Russell brought this time really wanted to discuss cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Several of these businessmen actually went to Nissi City in the Kingdom of Ruelson to do inspections and witnessed the prosperity of Nissi City and Nissi Port with their own eyes, and they were very yearning for this kind of scene.

Pompeii, as one of the Candela Imperial Naval Stations, is also a seaside city. It has a military port dedicated to the Candela Imperial Navy and a civilian port belonging to Pompeii. Like Port Nissi, it follows the city’s name and is called Pompeii Port.

The first step for these merchants to cooperate with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is to introduce all kinds of civilian magic machinery from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. For this reason, they discussed with Xu Yi and decided to cooperate with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to develop Pompeii Port in the first step. .

They were extremely positive about this matter, and even before they arrived here, they had jointly persuaded the city lord of Pompeii to obtain approval from him to invest in the development and expansion of Pompeii Port.

Of course, Pompeii did not need to invest half a copper coin in this matter. It was entirely dependent on the merchants to invest independently, and the Pompeii City Lord had no reason to oppose it.

Xu Yi of course welcomes their proposal to develop the Port of Pompeii, but they are not so enthusiastic about their proposal that they and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce jointly invest, and that everyone will each have a portion of the port’s shares.

No matter how well the Port of Pompeii is developed, it will ultimately belong to the Candela Empire. These chambers of commerce from Pompeii are fine, but the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, a chamber that does not belong to the Candela Empire, will have great doubts.

In case the Candela Empire is deliberately embarrassed, with the current strength of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there is no way.

However, after some consideration and discussion, Xu Yi agreed that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would invest one million gold coins in the development plan of Pompeii Port, and only symbolically own 10% of Pompeii Port.

Compared with unreliable ownership, Xu also cares more about reliable usage rights.

Once the Port of Pompeii is completed, it will become an important window connecting the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the southern part of the Candela Empire.

In the future, there will be countless transport fleets flocking to the Port of Pompeii by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so it is crucial to obtain the priority to use this port.

Although in fact the use right is not so reliable because of the powerful existence of the Candela Empire, in comparison, the use right does not touch the nerves of the Candela Empire as much as the ownership right, and the possibility that it can be guaranteed is mostly.

Through this discussion with the several chambers of commerce in Pompeii, Xu Yi discovered a fact that made him very emotional.

The Candela Empire is indeed one of the two major empires on this continent. Although these chambers of commerce are just ordinary chambers of commerce in an ordinary city near the coast of the Candela Empire, their strength cannot be underestimated.

In their plan to develop the Port of Pompeii, the initial investment is estimated to be as much as 7 million gold coins.

The total investment in the development of the Port of Nissi in the Ruelson Kingdom is only a mere 3 million gold coins, but it is more than twice as high.

Moreover, the development of Nissi Port is a development project that the Kingdom of Ruelson attaches great importance to. King Trutz personally paid attention to it and invested a huge budget in the Kingdom of Ruelson to develop it successfully.

This shows that compared to superpowers such as the Candela Empire, small countries such as the Ruelson Kingdom are still far behind in terms of overall strength.

And this is why Xu Yi has always attached great importance to the development of the internal markets of the two empires, the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire.

But what made Xu a little depressed was that it was also one of the two empires on the Sainz Continent. The new Flying Merchants Association’s progress in opening up the Marlow Empire was very smooth, but in the Candela Empire, it repeatedly hit a wall.

Having cooperated with Ambassador Hakanin for so long, it is true that through Ambassador Hakanin, all kinds of household magic machines have become popular in Wimbledon, the capital of the Candela Empire, and have been greatly welcomed.

However, it has been nearly two years, and Xu Yi hopes that through the relationship of Ambassador Hakanin, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will formally enter the Candela Empire to obtain a sales channel, but has not been able to meet the requirements.

It is difficult for Xu to fully understand the reasons for this, but from the results, I am afraid that Ambassador Hakanin himself played a role in it. At the same time, the Candela Empire does not seem to be cold about it.

Then there was the construction of roads by the Amli Chamber of Commerce in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire.

This road has been built for more than a year so far, but it has not been completed so far.

This is just a road with a total length of less than 500 kilometers. With the strength of the Amli Chamber of Commerce, if all goes well, it should be completed in half a year, but it has been delayed until now, and the progress is extremely slow. .

As a result, President Cruise complained to Xu Yi many times, and the most complained targets were the local officials in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire.

The Amli Chamber of Commerce has shared bribes with a total of more than 100,000 gold coins for these guys. However, the construction of this road has always been hindered and embarrassed, which made President Cruise many times even want to piss off and refuse to repair it.

Anyway, the benefits of roads are obvious. The Candela Empire is unwilling to build roads, and it is only themselves who suffer.

In addition, Billy’s opening of the new Fei magic locomotive sales agency in Wimbledon was also unsuccessful, which made Xu Yi a very bad impression of the Candela Empire.

However, Xu Yi’s impression of the Candela Empire is useless no matter how bad it is. This does not affect his determination to continue to develop the Candela Empire market.

Therefore, a week after Russell and others left, when Billy suddenly returned to the Duchy of Stantin, and revealed to Xu Yi his purpose after returning this time, Xu Yi was still refreshed.

“Prince Frank has changed his mind?” Xu Yi looked at Billy with surprise and excitement. “What did the prince say?”

Billy tilted his head and summed up the meaning revealed during the many contacts between Prince Frank and him during the previous period, and smiled: “Frank can’t resist the temptation of racing after all, but he is a dignified prince after all. Your Highness, you can’t come to participate in the small private competitions I organize like other little nobles. So he wants to make this event formal and let more people in the empire accept it, so that he can justify it. Get involved.”

“So he wants to cooperate with our chamber of commerce to hold a formal racing event?” Xu Yiran asked in surprise. “His Royal Highness wants to hold it under what name?”

“Hmm… Specifically, His Royal Highness feels that your new flying business will have a lot of experience in organizing racing events, and at the same time, it is also a chamber of commerce that produces racing cars, so he hopes to cooperate with you and let him dredge the relationship in the Candela Empire. , To introduce your relatively mature event into the Candela Empire. He is only responsible for nominal issues, and all other operations are done by your new flying business association.”

“To put it simply, everything is handled by ourselves. His Royal Highness is only responsible for providing some convenience?”

“Yes.”

“Well…This is actually the pattern I have always expected, but the prince did not agree before, but he did not expect to take the initiative to propose it now. Billy, why?” Xu Yi asked back.

Billy rubbed his hands and glanced at Xu Yi with hesitation.

Xu Yi was surprised.

This question is not difficult to answer, and Billy hesitates.

“This…actually… In addition to the introduction of the new flying racing event, Frank wants me to tell you another thing that is more important…”

Seeing Billy’s hesitating expression, Xu Yi frowned, thinking that this matter would make herself very embarrassed, otherwise Billy would not have this expression.

“Okay, let’s talk. No matter what conditions the prince puts forward, they can be discussed.” Xu Yi said indifferently.

Billy scratched his head and chuckled: “Okay. Frank said that he is not only interested in racing, but also very interested in the magic locomotive itself, so he hopes…cough, I can join you in the new flying chamber of commerce. Work together to open a magic locomotive factory directly in the Candela Empire.”

Hearing the first half of Billy’s sentence, Xu Yi had already guessed what he wanted to say, so he was not too surprised by the subsequent request.

After a little thought, Xu Yi asked: “How does your Royal Highness want to cooperate?”

“Frank said… he hopes to be able to study the magic car he likes by himself, so… he hopes that your chamber of commerce can transfer the technology related to the magic locomotive to him, and give him some support from the researchers to help him study faster Magic car…”

The more he talked about it, the lower Billy’s voice became, and the smile on his face became reluctant. Obviously he also felt that Prince Frank’s request was a bit excessive.

However, Xu Yi’s face did not change in the slightest, instead, he pondered, revealing an appearance of serious consideration.

Seeing Xu Yi’s delay in answering, Billy asked tentatively, “President Xu, what do you think?”

Xu Yi reached out to Billier.

“Is there a detailed plan?”

Billy was startled: “Did you agree?”

Xu Yi shook his head: “Now I can’t give you a definite answer. This can only be decided after seeing Prince Frank’s specific plan. So, is there a plan?”

Billier shook his head awkwardly: “Frank just asked me to inform you first, and didn’t give any specific plans…”

Xu Yi sighed: “Are these guys from the Candela Empire so unreliable? Well, Billy, you wait here for a few days, I will draw up a detailed plan of cooperation, you take it back to Frank The prince glanced over. If he agrees, then this cooperation is fine.”

“Then what if Frank is not satisfied with your proposal?”

Xu Yi squinted his eyes and snorted softly, “If he still disagrees even when I give in, what is the need for cooperation?”

Billy swallowed and spit, and thoughtfully persuaded Xu Yi to say a few words, only to see the cold expression on Xu Yi’s face, he swallowed these words directly.
