It should be said that Earl Satsuma was right at all.
As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce becomes powerful enough that everyone has to worry about it, then Xu Yi doesn't need to worry about being swallowed up by any big noble all day long.
But for Xinfei merchants who currently “can’t even get ranked in the small town of Bangta City”, the road is undoubtedly still long.
Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. This cannot be rushed at all.
Fortunately, the current development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very stable and rapid. Compared with when it was first established last year, the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has increased countless times.
The simplest and most intuitive comparison is to compare data.
When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was first established last year, less than a thousand magic fans were sold in the first month, and the total sales were less than two thousand gold coins.
And because Xu Yi had to find the major blacksmiths in the city to cast the casing of the magic fan at that time, the cost was high. In fact, the final net profit was only about 500 gold coins.
Although this amount of money was a huge amount of money for Xu Yi and Heinze at that time, but for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the institute's one-month magic experiment would consume more materials than this price. .
According to the April financial statistics compiled by Sebastian, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has many profit points.
Among them, in terms of household magic machinery, sales of automatic magic rice cookers and magic table lamps have been stable.
In addition to the explosive sales in the month just launched, 6,748 automatic magic rice cookers were sold in April, with a net profit of nearly 13,000 gold coins. Eight thousand four hundred and twenty-one magic lamps were sold, with a net profit of just over five thousand gold coins.
And as the reputation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually expanded to other places in the Lampali Kingdom. Businessmen even came to place orders from cities more than four hundred kilometers away from Bangta City. Now the sales of these two magic machines have actually increased!
besides. Sales of the Magic Bread Maker released in April were simply astounding.
The product launch was in mid-April, and according to statistics, in the remaining half month of April, more than 150,000 Magic Bread Makers were sold!
In addition to the reason that the function of the magic bread machine is more suitable for most people in the Lampali Kingdom who eat bread as a staple food, the more important point is obviously the explosive news effect brought about by the appearance of Yanis, an elf.
Each magic bread machine sells for four gold coins, and the cost is less than one and a half gold coins, so the net profit from selling the magic bread machine alone has reached a terrifying 370,000 gold coins!
Although because of the current production capacity of the household magic machinery production workshop, it is impossible to complete such a terrifying output in a short period of time. Therefore, these net profits will actually be divided and thinned, but such terrifying profits still surprised Xu Yi himself.
Calculating this, the net profit generated by the household magic machinery production workshop alone in April was close to 400,000 gold coins!
Compared with household magic machine production workshops, magic machine tool workshops are actually more prone to explosive profit growth.
For example, take the order signed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture for 30,000 units of various agricultural magic machines. The total amount of this order is as high as a terrifying 1.7 million gold coins.
Putting aside the cost, the net profit gained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has exceeded one million gold coins.
And this is just one order.
In addition to the order signed with the Department of Agriculture, the largest order currently accepted by the Magic Machine Tool Workshop is the order signed with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce for 10,000 Magic drilling machines. The total amount is as high as 780,000 gold coins, and if you count the profit, it is close to 500,000 gold coins.
The second is the order signed with the Armli Chamber of Commerce for a series of magic machinery related to cement concrete such as magic mixers and magic concrete vibrators. The total price is as high as 630,000 gold coins. The profit cannot be calculated clearly because many of the new magic machines have not been developed yet, but it is estimated that it will be at least more than 300,000 gold coins.
In addition to these two largest customers, there are also many small chambers of commerce who want to enter the magic machinery production industry and have proposed purchase intentions for various magic machine tools to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi agreed to all of them, and in April, accordingly A total of 3,641 various magic machine tools were sold, earning a profit of close to 200,000 yuan.
Added up, the total profit generated by the Magic Machine Tool Workshop has even exceeded two million gold coins!
Of course, due to the limited production capacity of Magic Machine Tool Workshop, the cycle of these orders is very long. For example, orders from the Department of Agriculture can be delayed until next summer at the longest. Therefore, if actually spread to each month, the net profit created by Magic Machine Tool Workshop will be It’s not as good as a household magic machine production workshop.
Camby often seemed a little frustrated because of this.
"President, you said that my brothers and I work very hard every day, why can't we make as much money as Heinze does?" Canby complained to Xu Yi.
Although the director of the Home Magic Machinery Production Workshop has now become Ancato, Canby is still used to referring to Heinze as the representative of the Home Magic Machinery Production Workshop.
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the concept of magic machines has not been accepted by everyone yet. Compared with these highly targeted professional magic machines produced by the magic machine tool workshop, it is obviously easier to design household magic machines for the general public. Being accepted will make it easier to sell," Xu Yi comforted.
"Then according to what you said, those gadgets are more acceptable and are needed by ordinary people. When everyone in Sainz Continent knows about it and accepts it, won't our Magic Machine Tool Workshop be even worse? "Canby said a little dejectedly.
"That's not the case." Xu Yi patted Canby on the shoulder and said firmly: "Household magic machinery and industrial magic machinery are two different aspects. There is no way to say who is stronger and who is weaker. Now it is just because of the public It is easier to accept household magic machinery, so it sells better, but when other large chambers of commerce discover the power of magic machinery, the prospects for industrial magic machinery will be broader. You see, Falcao Chamber of Commerce only orders magic drilling. The machine cost more than 700,000 gold coins. If we develop other large-scale mining magic machines, I’m sure it won’t be surprising if they spend 7 million gold coins.”
Kanbi looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "Seven million gold coins? That's that much? I'm talking about the president. Don't you need to deliberately brag to comfort me?"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him: "Is it interesting for me to brag to you, a dwarf? Okay, believe me, this is definitely a scene that will happen, but there is still something missing for the time being."
After saying that, Xu Yi habitually called out Yanis' name into the air, and then found Yanis turning around from behind him, and was immediately startled.
"So you are not invisible." Yanis walked quietly. Xu Yi was surprised and was really frightened.
Yanis looked innocent: "President, you asked me not to be invisible as much as possible, but to show up more often and interact with everyone."
Xu Yi nodded: "Well, that's what I said. You did the right thing. It's just that I'm always used to you following me invisible and suddenly appearing from behind me. It's a bit uncomfortable. Hey, Yanis, you can act There was no sound at all. I think it would be great to be an assassin."
"Assassin? What is that?" Yanis tilted her head and looked at Xu Yi curiously.
Kanby's face suddenly changed slightly, interrupting Xu Yi's explanation. Xiang Xu Yi asked: "President, you just said that something was missing. What was missing?"
"Huh? Oh... The missing thing is very important, that is, the materials. Have you noticed that President Fasak has come to our place more often recently?"
Canby nodded: "Well, because their magic machine tools have been having problems lately, I'm thinking of sending a brother there to be responsible for maintenance and repairs."
Xu Yi waved his hand and said: "This is not a good solution. Next time President Fasak comes, if I am not here, you can tell him that our New Flying Chamber of Commerce can provide them with a batch of brand new magic machine tools, and these magic machines The machine tool is newly designed and has stronger functions.”
Canby frowned: "I'm afraid he won't agree. When we sold him these magic machine tools, we promised to guarantee free maintenance within three years. I'm afraid he won't be willing to sell him a new batch. So many gold coins.”
"Who said I sold it to him? It was a replacement. Of course, it's not all free. Just tell him and let him make up the price difference between the old magic machine tool and the new magic machine tool. It's not much, they Fasak The Chamber of Commerce will have to replace less than fifty magic machine tools in total. Even if each machine is replaced with ten gold coins, it will only be less than five hundred gold coins. He will definitely agree. "
Canby was stunned: "Then we have suffered a big loss? If fifty new magic machine tools were sold, they would be able to sell more than three thousand gold coins. Now he only needs to give five hundred gold coins to exchange them all. That's not the case." It’s too cheap for him.”
"You need to take a longer view." Xu Yi said with a serious look. "If those old versions of magic machine tools continue to be placed in the Fasak Chamber of Commerce and problems continue to occur, it will be a big blow to the reputation of our chamber of commerce's products and make everyone feel that the products produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not Reliable. In the long run, our losses will be much greater than these few thousand gold coins."
Canby was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "That's right. Human beings just don't talk about credibility. As a result, they have a very bad reputation among other races... Oh, President, I'm not talking about you. What I mean is, a In a business association, just like in life, credibility is very important.”
Xu Yi shook his head dumbfounded and continued: "So, don't pay attention to these temporary losses. I have made a preliminary plan and plan to make a planned purchase of the goods we have sold in the next period of time. , product recycling in batches to help the other party upgrade. ”
Canby frowned: "It's enough to recycle the magic machine tool that is almost useless. If all the products are done this way, then we may lose hundreds of thousands of gold coins this time. Sebastian will definitely not agree with you. idea.”
"Don't worry, although Sebastian is a miser, he is also a smart man and will understand my intentions." Xu Yi smiled and continued: "Back to the question you asked just now. What we lack now is good enough. The materials used make the magic machines we produce not easy to use and durable enough, so we are forced to carry out product recycling and upgrading. If the materials we use can be better, the magic machines can be more durable. So if these products only break after ten or eight years of use, no one will have any objections, right?”
"That's for sure. You see, a normal shovel can be used for three years and everyone will praise the blacksmith who made this shovel for his superb skills. The magic machine we produce is also made of iron. If it can be used for ten He was bad for eight years, and he still deserves to be praised by others," Camby said with certainty.
"That's right, so the first thing we need to solve is the problem of materials and technology. And this mainly depends on the research results of your dwarf brothers from the Norma tribe." Having said this, Xu Yi turned to the side again. Yanis, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, waved to her and said: "Come on, Yanis, come with me on a business trip."
"Business trip?" Yanis and Canby both looked at Xu Yi inexplicably.
"Just go out with me for work." Xu Yi explained. "Clan Chief Shilui sent someone to bring a message two days ago saying that they have made some new discoveries in steel research. I want to see if there will be any breakthrough progress. Also, by the way, I want to visit your Yege tribe. Elder Lucia, let’s talk to her about something. I can’t enter the Yege tribe alone, so I need you to lead the way.”
"Oh." Yanis understood, nodded, and followed Xu Yi.
Xu Yi explained the work matters to Canby again, then picked up the bag he had prepared and walked out of the factory with Yanis.
Just as they walked out of the factory gate, a carriage drove quickly from the direction of Bangta City and stopped not far in front of the two of them.
The car curtain was opened, revealing the figure of the Brunei housekeeper.
After a quick glance at Agnes behind Xu Yi, the Brunei housekeeper maintained his trademark expressionless expression and said to Xu Yi: "President Xu, the Baron has invited you." (To be continued...)
