<h4>Volume 4 Chapter 5 Away from the standard</h4>
Being seen through by Xu Yi, Kovac was stunned for a bit before saying with an awkward look, “Chairman Xu, we’re not.....no, we just.....It’s a rare opportunity, so we want to grasp it......This doesn’t mean we’re not willing to supply your Frestech Chamber of Commerce withponents, really! You have to believe me, we will definitely do our best to process the final batch ofponents! We definitely won’t.....”
Xu Yi raised a hand to stop him again.
“Alright, don’t say anything, I understand your meaning.” Xu Yi revealed a smile, not showing any anger like Kovac was worried about, “I don’t me you, but Kovac, tell me, is this your idea or Freeman’s idea?”
“This.....” Kovac’s awkwardness became deeper, but he honestly replied, “This is my idea, Freeman doesn’t agree with this at all.”
Xu Yi nodded.
Freeman was an honest fellow, he always wanted to repay Xu Yi for his kindness, so he definitely wouldn’t give up the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s orders for other orders.
But it was because of this that Kovac this “astute” person could easily control the Irnd Chamber of Commerce. Kovac had more right to speakpared to the chairman Freeman, so the Irnd Chamber of Commerce made this decision in the end.
Xu Yi considered it a bit before saying, “Alright, I understand your choice and also support it. Because from my perspective, I do wish the magic machine industry would spread over the Lampuri Kingdom and even the entire Sines Continent. The morepanies that step out of Banta City like yours, the more help it is to my goal.”
Kovac kept nodding, “Yes, yes, chairman Xu, I also think this way. Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is even developing in other countries and although our Irnd Chamber of Commerce can’tpare, we should also have ambitions, right?”
“Un, this idea is correct.” Xu Yi nodded to show support before changing the topic, “But Kovac, I must remind you, if you want to consider development of yourpany, throwing away our Frestech Chamber of Commerce this quickly isn’t a smart choice.”
Kovac had a look that didn’t think this, but he immediately revealed a smile, “Chairman Xu, you’re misunderstanding. How could we want to throw away your Frestech Chamber of Commerce? There definitely isn’t this matter. This is just a good opportunity and the capacity of ourpany can’t keep up, so we have to stop our supply to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for now. When our capacity catches up, we will definitely want to cooperate with your Frestech Chamber of Commerce again.”
Xu Yi just smiled, neither confirming or denying.
“Alright, since you’ve already made your decision, I have no objections. Once this batch is finished, I will find otherpanies to solve ourponent problems. Right, you just said that you had two things to discuss. This is the first one, so what is the second one?”
“The second matter......” Kovac said with augh, “Chairman Xu, do you think......ourpany’sponents can stop following the standards of your Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”
“Oh?” Xu Yi looked at him with a surprised gaze, “Why do you have this idea?”
“Because when I went to inspect the other magic machine factoriesst year, I found that many magic machines didn’t follow the standards of our Banta City, but they sold very well. If we want to processponents for them, they wouldn’t fit if we followed the standards of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. So I was thinking.....when it came to orders for otherpanies, we wouldn’t need to continue following our Banta City’s standards?”
Kovac looked at Xu Yi with a hopeful look.
Although in theory, the Banta City’s standard was suggested by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and was forcefully stipted among the magic machinepanies, it wasn’t too strictly enforced. So the Irnd Chamber of Commerce going against it isn’t much.
But out of fear of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Kovac felt that he should get Xu Yi’s approval first.
Xu Yi looked at Kovac and revealed a ghost of a smile, “When you inspected thosepanies, did you think their magic machines were good?”
“Of course they couldn’tpare to the Frestech Brand.” Kovac immediately said, “But I felt that they weren’t worsepared to the magic machines of our Banta City and they sold quite well.”
Xu Yi waved his hand with a smile, “Alright, since you’ve already made up your mind, I don’t have any objections. These standards aren’t being forced, so it isn’t a problem that your Irnd Chamber of Commerce is choosing not to follow them.”
Kovac looked at Xu Yi’s expression and carefully asked, “Chairman Xu, are you really not angry?”
Xu Yi revealed a happy look, “Why would I be angry? This is a decision from your Irnd Chamber of Commerce, as a peer, I can only give you suggestions and can’t do anything to you. Of course, as a peer, I must give you some advice.”
“Please.”
“When ites to making goods, especially industrial goods, it’s good to have a standard. Not only does the standard bring limits, it also gives you advantages. Perhaps you might not realize it now, but I think you’ll realize it soon.” Xu Yi said with a serious look.
Kovac’s expression still thought otherwise, so Xu Yi was toozy to exin to him.
Just like he said, this is the decision of the Irnd Chamber of Commerce, so currently he had no method to punish them.
Although with Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s position in Banta City, they could make the Irnd Chamber of Commerce suffer, Xu Yi wasn’t willing to do this.
Let them suffer their losses and realize the benefits of a standard, it was much better than Xu Yi forcefully stopping them.
To put it more cruelly, if the Irnd Chamber of Commerce suffered a loss, this could be considered a setting an example for the otherpanies.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce could support an Irnd Chamber of Commerce, so of course they could support morepanies.
The only thing that Xu Yi felt pity for was that Freeman was a good person.
Watching Kovac turn, feeling quite assured, Xu Yi shook his head with a smile before turning to the group of people who had waited a long time for him.
The things that these representatives discussed with Xu Yi was mainly regarding magic production machines.
Because the magic machine industry had developed well and thepanies that joined in the past two years earned quite a bit, as well as her highness Seveni stating that she would be supporting business development, especially the magic machine business, thesepanies naturally wanted to increase their production.
Moreover, there were many peopleing to Banta City this year, which could relieve theirck of manpower, so it was a good chance to expand their production.
So these representatives came looking for Xu Yi to make more orders for magic production machines, to prepare expanding their production scale.
Xu Yi casually talked with these people and confirmed over a hundred orders for various magic production machines.
There were evenpanies that orderedplete production lines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to their production scales from before, this could be considered arge step.
Xu Yi naturally agreed to everything and with a rough estimate, just with this discussion, Xu Yi had earned orders that added up to a total of over five hundred thousand gold coins.
This order could be considered the first deal of the year for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, this was arge opening.
When everyone left, chairman Cruise came over with an emotional look.
“Chairman Xu, there are many times when I envy you. Just by sitting here, business woulde to you. If ourpany could have such an exciting scene, I might die of happiness tomorrow.”
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him, “You make it sound like your Amrit Chamber of Commerce is about to starve. It’s fine if you put on an act in front of others, but why are you acting in front of me? I know that your Amrit Chamber of Commerce has signed a contract with the Rudson Kingdom for a thousand kilometers of road. Just the amount of this contract is over four million gold coins.”
“Hey, chairman Xu, the surplus and profit is different, don’t tell me you don’t know that.” Chairman Cruise revealed a wronged look, “Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce can turn five hundred thousand in sales to four hundred thousand. Our Amrit Chamber of Commerce earns less than four hundred thousand from this four million in sales!”
“Then what about the high ss vis in the cities connected by the roads? Don’t tell me you’re earning little money from that.” Xu Yi said with a smile.
“Ha, ha......This......Ha, ha......” Chairman Cruise gave a few dryughs, but he didn’t reply to Xu Yi at all.
Xu Yi shook his head. The real estate industry was an industry withrge profits on earth, he didn’t think it would be different on the Sines Continent.
The Amrit Chamber of Commerce had developed the Dawn Neighbourhood by the Sandy River and each vi had cost at least nine thousand gold coins.
ording to Xu Yi’s estimate of the materials, a single vi’s cost would be around four thousand gold coins.
Even counting the cost ofbour and the cost of thend, the average cost of a vi would be no more than six thousand gold coins.
Calcting it, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce could earn over three thousand gold coins from each vi.
There were a total of one hundred and eighty eight vis in this neighbourhood. Just with this neighbourhood, they earned over six hundred thousand gold coins.
This was just a single neighbourhood. If they counted the neighbourhoods built in Saltan City and Karma City, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce would be earning a profit of close to two million if they sold everything.
Adding in the ie from the roadsst year, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s yearly profit was higher than any otherpany other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
“Ke.....Chairman Xu, it isn’t that you don’t know. Although we earn a lot, we also spend a lot. Moreover, we’re not earning money in every ce, rather there are ces where we are suffering a loss. For example.....We’re currently losing quite a bit from the investment on the ck Rice Wastnd.”
Hearing chairman Cruise finally mention the ck Rice Wastnd, Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.
This beastmen ce, it really was filled with worries.
