Xu Yi had to admit that he had really underestimated the people on Sainz Continent before.
He originally thought that magic machinery was a new thing on the Sainz continent. It would take a lot of time for people to accept this new thing, let alone start research on it. Therefore, he always felt that he had created a complete new thing on this continent. The ideal of a perfect industrial system will take a very long time, and you may not be able to see it in your lifetime.
However, reality slapped him in the face mercilessly.
Once the magic machine was launched, it was accepted by the people of Bangta City in a short period of time. Later, after His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department announced a cooperation plan with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Lampali Kingdom unexpectedly Within a short period of time, countless chambers of commerce, large and small, that dealt in magic machines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although none of these chambers of commerce are as large as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and most of the magic machines they produce imitate the early products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they can still make a lot of money in areas where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's sales network has not yet reached. One stroke.
What really surprised Xu Yi was that Freeman, a few ordinary farmers in Bangta City, actually thought of processing the parts of the small harvester as an agent based on their own experience in using the small magic harvester. !
This kind of business acumen is neither acceptable nor surprising.
Xu Yi happily agreed with Freeman's idea and asked them to visit the factory first, and then personally provide guidance to a few people.
Xu Yi affirmed the idea proposed by Freeman and others to purchase several magic machine tools for parts processing, but did not agree to their request to process large parts as an agent.
Because with their current technical strength and superficial understanding of magic machines. If you want to process large parts rashly. It is very likely that the large parts produced will not meet the requirements of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. If you don't adopt it in the end, you will suffer a big loss.
Finally, under Xu Yi's suggestion, Freeman and others turned their attention to the magic tooth rubbing machine.
Although screws may seem small, they are almost indispensable parts for all magic machines produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they have a wide range of applications.
Moreover, as the first magic machine tool officially developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the magic tooth rubbing machine has now become much more mature than it was at the beginning after more than half a year of continuous research and development and technological innovation. Not only is the operation simpler and the process more stable, the screw models produced have also become more diverse and can meet the requirements of all magic machinery currently produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After some investigation, Freeman and others accepted Xu Yi's suggestion and purchased a total of five magic tooth rubbing machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The new generation of magic teeth rubbing machine is priced at 40 gold coins per unit, and five units will cost a full 200 gold coins.
This is a huge sum of money for ordinary farmers. Although Freeman and others have made some money using farm magic machinery, it is not enough to spend such a large sum of money.
So when Freeman proposed with some trepidation to purchase the magic tooth grinding machine through deferred payment, just like when he obtained the magic harvester from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi was not too surprised and readily agreed to his request.
For Xu Yi. These ordinary farmers, including Freeman, are now far more representative than the chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery that are blooming everywhere in the Lampali Kingdom.
Although they are just a few ordinary farmers who only purchased a few magic tooth-rolling machines, they represent the very important parts processing industry in the industrial system that has begun to show its signs on the Sainz continent.
Over time, as small chambers of commerce like this gradually increase in number, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can hand over the processing of parts for the magic machinery it produces to such small chambers of commerce, freeing up a large number of manpower to focus on Xu Yi, who would rather The areas that Feichang Association focuses on.
Of course, the great ideals in Xu Yi's heart will never be understood by everyone.
It was Heinze before, but now that Heinze has gone to Kalma City to take charge of the factory there, the person who questioned him face to face has been replaced by Sebas.
"Mr. President, according to last month's financial statistics, we made a profit of 764 gold coins from selling various types of screws. This does not include the cost profit brought by the large number of screws we use. , if added up, it would be conservatively estimated to be more than two thousand gold coins."
Unlike Heinze who directly complained to Xu Yi, Sebastian was a rigorous and respectful person to Xu Yi. When making an opinion, he would first list specific data to support his point of view.
"You sold five magic tooth-grinding machines to those farmers for almost free, and promised them to help them master the screw-making process. This is tantamount to handing over the profits to them. Is this... appropriate?" Sebastian looked at it with doubts. Xiang Xu also.
"Let me ask you a question." Xu Yi asked instead without answering. "Sebas, do you think our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will eventually develop into a first-class large chamber of commerce?"
Sebastian was startled, not expecting that Xu Yi would suddenly ask such a question.
After thinking about it, Sebas nodded lightly: "Yes, Mr. Chairman, I have no doubt that our Chamber of Commerce will become the first-class chamber of commerce on the continent of Sebas."
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He didn't expect Sebastian to be so confident. He just asked if he would become a first-class person, but Sebastian directly answered that he would be a first-class person.
"Well, since we will become a first-class large chamber of commerce, do you think it is possible for such a large chamber of commerce to cover all the products under its name from head to toe? Or more specifically, do you think Is it possible for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to dominate the entire magic industry on our own?" Xu Yi asked again.
Under Xu Yi's influence, people in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are no longer unfamiliar with the term magic industry. Sebastian thought for a while and shook his head: "No. According to your plan and inference, Mr. Chairman, the magic industry is a It’s so huge that we can’t conquer it alone.”
"That's right. Since we can't completely occupy it, and sooner or later we have to give up part of it to others, then obviously giving it up actively is much better than giving it up passively. Although the screws alone represent The profit is two thousand gold coins per month. But you should see that you don’t need any technical foundation to produce screws. You only need to buy the magic thread grinding machine from us, and then you can produce it. Do you want to sell the magic teeth grinding machine?" Xu Yi asked again.
Sebastian was silent for a while this time before he replied with a slight hesitation: "Actually... Mr. Chairman, I have always been... confused about your previous agreement to the unknown small business association's request to purchase various magic machine tools. The magic machine tools are currently Only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can manufacture them, so only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces the best quality magic machines and the production efficiency is also high. Now you sell these magic machine tools in large quantities, and the result is that there are many similar ones in the Lampali Kingdom now. The chamber of commerce that produces magic machinery. Although these small chambers of commerce cannot currently pose a threat to us, they still have some influence."
See the right questioning look on Sebastian's face. Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that if it were Heinze, he would definitely not be as tactful as Sebastian, but would directly reprimand himself for wasting his family, raising tigers, etc...
But for Heinze, Xu Yida could directly retort, saying that this was his long-term plan and he didn't need to worry about it.
As for Sebastian, Xu Yi couldn't refute it so firmly.
"Sebas, do you remember what I said at the last product launch?"
Sebas frowned and thought for a while: "This... Mr. President. I'm not sure what words you are referring to."
"I said at the product launch that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to make the cake bigger. Rather than compete with others for the cake, do you understand what I mean?"
Sebas pondered for a long time, and the doubt on his face faded, replaced by even more confusion.
"Mr. Chairman, perhaps doing this will allow more people to understand the magic machinery, thereby expanding the market and making the cake bigger like you said, but... with the current strength of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, after making the cake bigger , but you may not be able to grab the biggest piece of it.”
"Why, are you doubting the strength of our Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Don't worry, if I'm not sure, do you think I would do these things?"
Sebastian looked at Xu Yi and remained silent.
If he still raises questions at this time, it would be disrespectful to Xu Yi. He would never do such a thing.
Xu Yi smiled and patted Sebastian on the shoulder: "Okay, write back and tell the Viscount that I know what's going on, so he doesn't have to worry."
"This is not what the Viscount meant..." Sebastian replied reflexively. When he turned around and saw Xu Yi's half-smiling expression on his face, he involuntarily retracted what he said, paused, and nodded in response. :"yes."

Sebastian did not need to reply to Viscount Leslie, because Viscount Leslie came back from Anvilmar two days after the conversation between the two!
To Xu Yi's expectation, Baron Haynes, who was said to have been grounded by his family for three months, came back with Viscount Leslie.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Baron Heiners immediately rushed over with a big smile, hugged Xu Yi hard, and then asked impatiently: "Xu Yi, how is my "Bangta Daily"? How are you doing now? Okay? Nothing happened after I left?"
Xu Yi was dumbfounded: "Bangta Daily is not your child. I tell you, don't be disappointed. Although you are gone, Bangta Daily is better off than it was before you left, thanks to the hard work of Naxi and the others." Even better, the daily sales volume is now almost over 10,000, which is several times higher than that of the Saltan Morning News and the Kalmar Daily in the two nearby cities.”
Baron Heiners immediately laughed: "Why should I be disappointed? I am very happy! Great! What I was most worried about when I was in Anvilmar was the Bonta Daily News. Now I hear you say that it has developed so well." If it’s so good, I’ll feel relieved.”
Xu Yi glanced at the bright-eyed Baron Heiners and found that compared to the last time he left Bangta City, the childishness on his face had faded a lot, and his whole person was obviously much more mature and steady.
"Hainas, I heard that two newspapers appeared in Anvilmar City some time ago. They are called "Anvilmar Daily" and "Lampali Weekly". To tell you the truth, are these two newspapers? Does it have anything to do with you?" Xu Yi asked.
Hainas chuckled, patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered, "As long as you know, don't ask too many questions."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded. He really didn't want to continue asking. He turned to look at Viscount Lelis and asked, "Sir Viscount, you are finally back. If it weren't for spring plowing, maybe you wouldn't be back this time?"
Viscount Leslie nodded with a smile: "Indeed. Something happened to my family after I returned this time. If the spring plowing hadn't been so important, I might not have had time to come back."
Xu Yi couldn't help but said: "You have a large territory here, and you are also the major shareholder of our chamber of commerce. If you are always away, many things will be troublesome."
"With you here, is there any trouble?" Viscount Leslie smiled and suddenly sighed: "Xu Yi, I don't know whether it is good or bad news for you. This spring plowing If it’s over, maybe I’ll leave Bangta City and never come back again.”
Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie in astonishment and was speechless when he saw that he didn't mean to be joking at all. (To be continued...)
