Compared with the various modes of transportation on the earth, there is only one kind of public transportation on the Sainz continent, horse-drawn carriages, which is undoubtedly much inferior.
However, compared to other horse and carriage shops, Filson Carriage and Horse Shop, the largest carriage and horse shop in the Lampali Kingdom, is usually more punctual.
Xu Yi arrived at the carriage house a little later than scheduled, and happened to see Akali jumping off the carriage that had just arrived.
As soon as she jumped down, she looked up and saw Xu Yi. Akali immediately rushed over excitedly.
"President, I'm back!"
Seeing Akali's excited look, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
This little girl was in a low mood a few days ago. Now she went home during the Chinese New Year, and she seems to be back to normal again.
Xu Yi was happy to hear this. For a girl with a lively personality like Akali, it would always be a pity once she becomes depressed.
"Well, welcome back." Xu Yi responded with a smile, looking past Akali to the two carriages behind, nodded to Evita who got off the car behind Akali, and then looked at Evita. There were two men and three women beside her, a total of five young people about the same age as Evita.
If I guessed correctly, these five people should be the five classmates mentioned in Akali's last letter.
Sure enough, seeing Xu Yi's eyes falling on those five people, Akali immediately introduced Xu Yi excitedly: "President, they are the five classmates I mentioned. What do you think of them?"
Xu Yi laughed dumbly: "Akali, what I want to recruit are magicians. Do you want me to judge their magic strength just by looking at their appearance?" After that, he smiled and stretched out his hand to the five people: "Everyone Classmates, welcome to Bangta City. I am Xu Yi, the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.”
While shaking hands with Xu Yi, the five young people looked at Xu Yi without scruples, their eyes full of curiosity.
When it was the turn of a tall girl with natural black curly hair, she suddenly chuckled and said: "President, although Akali has always told us that you are young and handsome. But we have never believed it because we always feel , to be the president of a chamber of commerce, you should be an uncle after all. I didn’t expect to see you in person now, but I found that you are younger than I thought. Sir, you are probably not a few years older than us. ?”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "You are not the first person to express curiosity or suspicion about my age. I will be twenty-eight years old this year. Compared to you, I can indeed be regarded as an uncle. Finally At least Steele always calls me uncle."
"Steele?" The three girls looked at each other with slightly surprised expressions. Another girl who was slightly shorter and slightly fat suddenly asked mysteriously: "President, I heard from Akali that Steele and you have a very good relationship. Are you already... that kind of person?" Is it related?”
Xu Yi didn't wait for an answer. The boy who introduced himself as Xiu Qi when shaking hands just now suddenly snorted softly and said: "Bella, don't talk nonsense. Steele expressed that he was not interested in boys when he was in the academy, how could he suddenly What does it have to do with President Xu?”
Bella immediately rolled her eyes at Xiu Qi and said unceremoniously: "President Xu is not a boy like you, so why is it strange that Steele likes him? Let me tell you. President Xu is so young and handsome, and he belongs to a big chamber of commerce. President, I would also like him, right? "
Xu Yi waved his hands dumbfounded: "Miss Bella, don't make fun of me. In addition, Steele and I don't have the kind of relationship you think. It's just me and Steele's grandfather, Camilla the Great Magician. The relationship is pretty good, and since Steele also works in our chamber of commerce, we have quite a lot of contact with him.”
"Hypocritical." Akali on the side suddenly snorted and muttered.
Xu Yi glanced at her and didn't ask any questions. He turned around and continued to greet a few people and got on another carriage that had been prepared long ago. He first let this carriage take everyone around Bangta City. After getting familiar with the environment, I stopped by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s maintenance service center in Bangta City for a visit.
After seeing all kinds of magic machines in the maintenance service center, several students couldn't help showing expressions of wonder.
Especially when they looked at the Capital Magic Table Lamp, not only did the three girls show enthusiastic joy in their eyes, but even the two boys showed unabashed admiration.
Finished walking around the city. The carriage then carried the group of people to the factory outside the site.
After seeing the three workshops in this open space, several young people were obviously disappointed.
Bella seemed to have a character that couldn't hide her words. After looking at the shabby factory in front of her for a while except for the new factory building, she couldn't help but said to Xu Yi: "Mr. President, isn't this all the factories of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Right? This is too small, not as big as any of the factories owned by the chamber of commerce we have seen before."
Xiu Qi also showed disdain and snorted: "It's just that the factory is so small, it seems that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not very good either. Akali has always been a braggart, but you have always been Evita. You don’t like to brag, so why did you lie to us like Akali and say that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a very good chamber of commerce and you have a bright future working here?”
Evita has a gentle personality. When Xiu Qi stabbed her like this, her face instantly turned red, but she didn't know how to refute.
Akali scolded unceremoniously: "What do you know? Even though this factory is not big, do you know how many kinds of magic our chamber of commerce already produced before this largest workshop was put into use last year?" Mechanical? Go take a look inside Bangta City now. I guarantee you can see our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s products in every home! Let me tell you, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only been established for less than half a year and it is already so powerful. , Do you dare to say that there is no future in working here? Huh! You have the nerve to say that I and Evita only worked here for a few months and already made more than 100 gold coins. How about you? It’s so embarrassing to have to rely on your own parents to support you without doing anything!”
A group of people were stunned.
Although Xiu Qi actually accused Xin Fei Chamber of Commerce of having no future in front of Xu Yi with a somewhat harsh tone, no one expected that Akali's reaction would be so intense, without leaving any face to Xiu Qi.
Xiu Qi's face turned green and white, and his expression changed several times. He suddenly snorted heavily and said angrily: "Akali. I came here because I saw you and Evita's face. I didn't expect that you actually felt like this. Look at me like this. Well, if you like this broken chamber of commerce so much, then you can continue to work here. I don't like this small chamber of commerce with no future! Let me tell you, there are several big chambers of commerce in Anvilmar City. It's just that I didn't agree! Even if a magic genius like me is forced to work in a chamber of commerce, I should join a big chamber of commerce like the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, so I won't join a factory that is so shabby and has no future. Small Chamber of Commerce!”
Seeing Xiu Qi angrily about to leave, Xu Yi frowned slightly and stepped in front of him.
"What? President Xu, you are here and you are not allowing others to leave?" Xiu Qi glared at Xu Yida.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, we are not a bandit den here. Of course you can come and leave at any time. But Xiu Qi, if I were you, I would not choose to leave at this time. Because you are like this By leaving, doesn’t it prove that you can’t refute what Akali said and that everything she said is correct?”
"That's not the case!" Xiu Qi was furious. He looked at Akali and wanted to scold her, but in the end he felt that it was too embarrassing to compete with a girl, so he could only snort heavily and look away.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yi not only didn't feel any nervousness, but almost laughed.
These guys. Sure enough, they are all young people.
"Well... Classmate Xiuqi, I won't object if you want to leave, but I don't agree with your previous evaluation of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. There is a saying in my hometown that without investigation, there is no right to speak. You have no right to speak about our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Flying Chamber of Commerce determined that our Chamber of Commerce has no future without almost any understanding. This conclusion is too rash." Xu Yidao. "Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently only owns this factory. But I can tell you some data. You and a few other students may wish to listen to it."
Hearing these words, the five young people couldn't help but focus on Xu Yi.
"The first data is the total operating income of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the first half of last year, which totaled 203,494 gold coins."
The five young people exclaimed at the same time. Even Evita and Akali couldn't help but look surprised because they heard such detailed data for the first time.
For these young people from ordinary families, two hundred thousand gold coins is a huge number that they can never come into contact with or even think about.
But the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce founded by this young Chairman Xu sold so many valuable products in half a year.
"President, can you tell us how much money you make?" Cecilia, who has always been the more silent among the three girls, asked.
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "This is the right question. For a chamber of commerce, the key point is not how much money it sells, but how much money it makes. And this is the second data I want to tell you. Last year and a half Within this period, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s net profit totaled more than 140,000 gold coins.”
Everyone was surprised again.
According to Xu Yi, the profit rate of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is too high.
"These two data just tell you that although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a big chamber of commerce at present, it is definitely not a chamber of commerce without a future. On the contrary, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a very good development prospect. After a while, We are about to open a new factory in the nearby city of Kalmar, and within this year, we may also build a new production base outside Bangta. According to the plan, the total area of this new production base will even exceed that of Bangta. Tacheng. Do you think a small chamber of commerce with no future can have such a long-term and huge plan?”
"The area is larger than Bangta City?" Akali looked at Xu Yi in surprise and couldn't help but said: "Mr. President, I found that you are more bragging than me."
Xu Yi laughed; "Whether this is bragging or not, you will know later. Of course, for you personally, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's plan does not make much sense. I think what you are more concerned about is your own income. Just Take Akali as an example. She and Evita came to work at our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in August last year, and have worked for less than five months. Their combined income is just like Akali’s just now. That said, it has exceeded one hundred gold coins. And this is based on the fact that their basic salary last year was only fifteen gold coins. Starting from this year, they have been upgraded to second-level researchers of the Chamber of Commerce. The basic salary will be increased from fifteen gold coins to twenty-five gold coins.”
"Twenty-five gold coins?" Bella said in surprise: "This is not low even in Anvilmar City."
"This is just the basic salary." Xu Yi said with a smile. "In addition, every time a new magic machine is developed, or the original magic machine is successfully improved, the Chamber of Commerce will give additional cash rewards. The amount of the reward is variable, but the minimum is twenty gold coins, and the maximum is unlimited. . With our chamber’s strong support for new product research and development, these rewards are often available.”
"Well, last year Akali and I got seventy gold coins from the reward alone." Evita added appropriately.
Akali pouted and said unconvinced: "This is because we are not strong enough, otherwise we could get more. You see, Camilla the Great Magician got it last year just because it was developed in cooperation with our Chamber of Commerce. More than a thousand gold coins, much stronger than us."
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at her. Camilla, the great magician, is at the level of a great magician. Why do you compare with him
However, from the words of Xu Yi, Akali and Evita, the five young people could tell that if they stayed and worked in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they would really have a lot of money.
Seeing the light shining in the eyes of the five young people, even Xiu Qi calmed down and began to think seriously. Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
I'm not afraid that you won't be tempted. As long as you are tempted, everything will be easy.
