Although no one would actually come and question Xu Yi in front of him whether he was qualified to participate, there would still be many people who would come to check on him.
Not long after Xu Yi appeared at the banquet, Moon Cruise, the president of the Armley Chamber of Commerce, greeted him with a smile and a glass of wine.
"President Xu, when we usually invite you to a banquet, you always refuse because you are too busy to come. Why did you show up immediately as soon as the Lord of the City invited me today?"
After reaching an exclusive supply agreement with Xu Yi and conducting many experiments on the cement, it was confirmed that this thing has excellent performance, far exceeding the building materials previously used by the Amri Chamber of Commerce. President Cruz Every time he saw Xu Yi, he would greet him with a smile like this. He was no longer full of suspicion and hidden disdain for Xu Yi when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first joined the Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to clink it with him: "President Cruz, you have wronged me. You must know that I basically refused the invitation of the Lord of the City in the past, not just For you. I can’t help it. There are too many things going on in the Chamber of Commerce. Not only before, but during this period, I was so busy that I even wanted to use my sleep time to work. I had to work hard to attend this banquet today. from."
"It's a good thing to be busy with work. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's stuff has always been so popular. As the president, of course you will be busy." President Cruise laughed, suddenly came closer to Xu Yi, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked; " President Xu, tell me the truth, how much has your new magic lamp sold?”
Xu Yi smiled slightly. Extend a slap.
"Five thousand units? No. It can't be so few. Then... fifty thousand units?" Seeing Xu Yi nod, President Cruise suddenly took a breath, his face full of shock. "It's only been less than half a month, right? So many have been sold? President Xu, you... Did your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cast charm magic on everyone in Bangta City? Let everyone buy yours thing?"
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that although the charm magic was not applied, through the various products previously launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as the various advertisements of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and numerous reports on the Internet, people in Bangta City now have a strong impression of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The recognition rate of this brand is very high. No matter what new products are launched by Xinfeishang, they will immediately attract all-round attention.
This time, thanks to the addition of two talented appearance designers, Yanis and Vivian, the Magic Table Lamp is able to attract most of the eyeballs just by its appearance. Coupled with the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, This will achieve such terrifying sales.
"President Cruz, if I knew such powerful magic, why would I open a chamber of commerce? I would just charm people and make them take out the gold coins in their pockets and give them to me," Xu Yi joked. road. "The reason why it sells so well is of course that the products of our Chamber of Commerce are really good. For example, cement. Don't you like it?"
Upon hearing Xu Yi mention cement, President Cruz immediately looked around nervously. He winked at Xu Yi and whispered, "President Xu, please help keep this thing secret for the time being."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
In the shopping mall, being able to seize the opportunity plays an extremely important role in many cases.
Now that the Amuli Chamber of Commerce has obtained the exclusive right to purchase cement from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it means that they are one step ahead of other construction chambers in the use of this new building material. It also means that the Amuli Chamber of Commerce can gain more substantial benefits in the future. develop.
Of course, President Cruise didn't want Xu Yi to reveal this secret, lest it affect his and the Amri Chamber of Commerce's plans.
Seeing Xu Yi shut up, President Cruise laughed dryly and said: "President Xu, let's go back to the question just now. Why are you free to come to this banquet today? I'm really sorry curious."
Xu Yi glanced at him: "What? Do you also think that I am not qualified to participate in the auction?"
"How is that possible?" President Cruise shook his head repeatedly, paused, but still said in a very tactful tone; "But hasn't your chamber of commerce always been operating magic machinery? Why would you do this to iron ore? interested?"
"Your Amuli Chamber of Commerce specializes in the construction industry, why are you here?" Xu Yi asked.
"Hey, a lot of iron is consumed on construction sites. Not to mention what you said before..." President Cruz lowered his voice again. "That reinforced concrete also consumes a lot of iron. If you can own a piece of iron ore yourself, it would be much better than buying it directly from others. I think you, President Xu, should know very well that that guy Fuller Morgan has always been They are all very evil.”
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Then do you think the demand for iron ore for the magic machinery produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is high?"
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi silently for a while, frowning slightly: "So, President Xu, are you really interested in those two iron mines?"
"Of course, otherwise what would I do?" Xu Yi replied matter-of-factly, and then pointed to a circle of people of all kinds who were crowded in other places at the banquet. "This time, the royal family finally managed to publicly auction iron ore in front of the public. You see, not only our Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, but also the large chambers of commerce in other cities have rushed over. I think if His Majesty the King allows it, other countries' chambers of commerce will also come here." The Chamber of Commerce will also come to participate. After all, iron ore has so many uses. If you have the opportunity to hold two of them, who is willing to let it go? "
President Cruz turned around and looked around at the people chatting together in twos and threes in the lively banquet hall, and nodded: "Indeed, this is a rare opportunity, and no one wants to miss it." After that, he turned around. Looking at Xu Yi, he asked hesitantly: "But President Xu, according to the information I heard from the city lord, the starting price of the smaller of the two iron mines is 500,000 gold coins..."
The implication is of course that he doubts Xu Yi's financial strength.
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that President Cruise had been talking about this for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask this question, and said in a relaxed tone: "Well, I heard about it too. It should be said that this is the starting price. It’s very low. But I think there are so many people here looking at it. I’m afraid the final transaction price will be much higher.”
President Cruz served the food and looked at Xu Yi. Seeing him not even frowning after hearing the astonishing amount of five hundred thousand gold coins, I couldn't help but be confused.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in Bangta City, and everyone can see what they have sold and how much income they have earned.
According to the estimates made by several people from the last federation, even if every item sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is pure profit. The total income earned in less than half a year should be less than 200,000 gold coins. Why does Xu Yi think that he may be involved in the auction of these two iron mines? Where did Xinfei Chamber of Commerce get so much money
Of course, it was impossible for him to get the answer from Xu Yi, so he could only chat with Xu Yi for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
As soon as he turned around, President Cruz's eyes swept across the banquet hall, and he was suddenly startled.
In this banquet hall, which covers an area of more than 500 square meters, and the highest arc top is more than four meters above the ground, looking around, President Cruise saw countless products from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
On the left and right walls. From left to right, there are as many as twenty cooling and heating magic air conditioners launched by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in a row.
Although in the promotion of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. A heating and cooling magic air conditioner is enough to support the temperature regulation of a thirty-square-meter space, but this banquet hall is used by the city lord to entertain guests, so of course he will not be so stingy, so he ordered twenty units from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in one go.
Because it has already entered the harsh winter, the outside at night has long been so cold that ice has formed, so now in the banquet hall, a total of twenty magic air conditioners are turned on, adjusting the temperature in the hall as if it were late spring.
On the wall under the magic air conditioner, there is also a long row of brackets. On these brackets, the latest magic table lamps launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are lined up, emitting brilliant and dazzling light, illuminating this particularly large hall. It must be as clear as day.
In the past, when banquets were held in this hall, in addition to lighting countless candles on the walls, candles also had to be lit on each table to maintain the lighting of the entire hall.
But now, after just hanging these magic lamps on the walls and hanging a magic chandelier at the top of the hall that is said to be specially designed and manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the entire hall is bright and clear, without any sense of darkness. .
Seeing these magic air conditioners and magic lights, President Cruise couldn't help but have a guess in his mind that he couldn't even believe.
Maybe... everyone underestimated the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
###
Xu Yike didn't know that President Cruise had so many thoughts in his mind, and he didn't even know that he had seriously misjudged the New Flying Chamber of Commerce because he saw many of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's products.
But if he knew the amount of 200,000 gold coins in President Cruz's heart, he would definitely be very shocked.
Because according to a financial report made by Sebastian half a month ago, in this nearly half a year, excluding the income from the magic desk lamp, the total income from all the goods sold by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was just around 200,000 gold coins.
But the real profits of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot be calculated by outsiders.
The reason is simple, any product from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a huge profit! And it’s a terrible huge profit!
Among them, the first product with the lowest sales profit margin is the magic fan.
Because when he first developed and manufactured magic fans, Xu Yi did not have enough experience in developing magic machinery, so he was not able to reduce the cost of magic fans very well.
Moreover, Xu Yi did not hire enough dwarf craftsmen at that time and failed to develop enough magic machine tools for mass production. Therefore, most of the magic fan casings were made by the blacksmith shop in Bangta City, which reduced the cost. Further improve.
But even so, the sales profit margin of the first-generation Magic Fan still exceeded 50%.
As for the second-generation variable-speed magic fan, because the manufacturing process is more mature and mass-produced by magic machine tools, while the cost has been greatly reduced, the selling price has not changed compared to the first-generation magic fan, so the sales profit margin has even exceeded 70%.
As for the subsequent magic farm machines, magic air conditioners, magic rice cookers, and the current magic table lamps, no matter which one, the sales profit margin will not be less than 70%.
In other words, in less than half a year, the total sales revenue of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was calculated as a round number of 200,000 gold coins, so the total profit reached an astonishing around 140,000 gold coins!
Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also invested a lot during this period.
The main cost is spent on research and development.
Xu Yi has always spared no effort in investing in experimental research on new products, new technologies and new theories.
In the past six months, Xu Yi has invested a total of more than 20,000 gold coins in this aspect alone.
In addition, the Chamber of Commerce's operating costs, including workers' salaries, consumed about 30,000 gold coins, and now there are 87,463 gold coins left in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's books.
For Xu Yihe Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who started from scratch, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
But this money is obviously not enough to auction two iron mines.
After Xu Yi finished calculating in his mind, as soon as he raised his head, he met the slightly confused gaze of Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the distance.
