In addition to the city lord and Baron Bilier, the people who came with him were also some people who came after hearing the news like President Cruz.
Most of them are heads of major chambers of commerce that have business dealings with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including Fuller Morgan, the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
Without exception, these people all expressed concern about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's sudden decision to relocate the entire factory, and the focus of their attention was naturally on whether this relocation would affect the orders signed with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just moved from here to Sanqidun Manor not far away, and that normal production would resume within a week at the earliest, everyone felt relieved.
After some pleasantries, everyone's attention naturally focused on Earl Summer and Baron Billier.
Most of them looked at Baron Billier.
Everyone who appears here is a well-informed person in Bangta City. How could they not know the inside story of the sudden relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
It should be said that Baron Bilier suddenly made such an unreasonable request this time, which surprised everyone.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made it clear that it has great prospects. Even if the Stark family does not pay special attention to it, at least it should not adopt such an attitude for no reason and almost sever its relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Baron Billier still looked carefree in front of everyone. When he saw everyone's eyes focused on him, he smiled, came to Xu Yi, looked at Xu Yi sideways, and said: "President Xu, for the sake of Earl Satsuma, For your sake, I gave you a few days of grace, but don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you haven’t finished it by the time limit, don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Hear this. Everyone around him couldn't help but frown.
Does this Baron Billier have a grudge against Xu Yi or something? Why target him and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like this
Xu Yi's face was calm. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "Please rest assured, Lord Baron, with our current relocation progress, it will be completed before the day after tomorrow, and it will not delay your plan for this territory."
Baron Bilier nodded slightly: "That's more or less the same. If it delays me, you will be the one to look after me when the time comes."
The frowns of everyone around him deepened.
Judging from the information they gathered, Baron Billier was unreasonable from the beginning to the end of this matter, but now he still puts on such a face in front of Xu Yi, even if he has a normal relationship with Xu Yi. But it is inevitable that people will feel angry.
However, everyone here is a sophisticated person, and no one will contradict Baron Billier face to face at this time.
This guy is clearly acting like a playboy. He just won't reason with you. If you argue with him, it's useless. You have to offend him and even the Stark family behind him, but no one will So stupid.
Xu Yi looked at Baron Billier and suddenly asked: "Baron, I have a question."
"What's the problem?" Baron Billier said nonchalantly.
"Are you sure you won't regret it in the future if you do this?"
Earl Satsuma, who only said hello to Xu Yi and said nothing since he arrived, raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at Xu Yi somewhat unexpectedly.
Xu Yi, on the surface, seems to have been able to maintain a calm attitude towards this matter. But judging from the fact that he asked this question, he still felt a little angry in his heart after all.
Everyone around was also slightly stunned, thinking that Xu Yi's question was not polite at all.
Baron Billier was stunned, then sneered and said disdainfully: "Regret? Why should I regret it? I said Xu Yi, although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is developing at a good speed and has made a lot of money this year, but Don't you think too highly of yourself? Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce in Bangta City. What qualifications do you have to make me regret asking this question? "
Xu Yi stared at Baron Billier for a while, until he felt a little uncomfortable and glared back at Xu Yi angrily, then he looked away and smiled slightly: "Okay, I understand, thank you Baron for your answer. "
Baron Billier looked at Xu Yi inexplicably and snorted: "Xu Yi, I thought I didn't see anything I didn't want to see from those messy newspapers these days, and I thought you were at least a smart person. Looking at it now, you’re not that smart at all.”
The relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's factory can be considered a big news for Bangta City and several surrounding cities.
Under normal circumstances, newspapers in these cities would definitely report it and delve into the reasons.
But this time, more than a dozen newspapers in several cities just reported this matter as a very ordinary news.
As for the reason why Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly decided to relocate, it was uniformly explained that this was the development strategy that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had set long ago.
The reason why these more than ten newspapers reached such a unified tone, in addition to Xu Yi's request, naturally also played a role in Count Satsuma and Count Anaris, the Lord of Kalma City.
Of course, Baron Billier knew this very well, so he gave Xu Yi a rare compliment for being a smart man.
Now that he was saying that he was not smart, Xu Yi was naturally too lazy to argue. He smiled at him, ignored him, and turned around to discuss with the heads of other chambers of commerce around him.
After he and everyone confirmed the next steps for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to complete the order, everyone left one after another. At this time, Earl Satsuma came over.
Looking at the carriages leaving one after another, Earl Satsuma said: "Yes. Moving such a large factory is a very complicated matter, and it is still in such a hasty situation. I originally thought you would be in a hurry this time, but now It seems that you have arranged all the work very well, which I really have to express my appreciation for.”
"Your Majesty the Earl, thank you very much." Xu Yi smiled and said modestly. "You came here specifically to see how we moved?"
"This is one of the reasons." Earl Satsuma pointed to the office in the distance. "We sit down and talk about the rest."
Xu Yi was a little confused. If there was something important, why not call him to the city lord's house to talk
The two walked into the office, which had not yet started moving. Xu Yi poured the water. Then we sat down separately.
Earl Satsuma paused. Pointing to the window, he asked Xu Yi: "What do you think of the young men in the city guard?"
Xu Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect that when Earl Satsuma opened his mouth, he would involve the city guards who came to help with the relocation.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi nodded and replied: "Great. It can be seen that their physical fitness is very strong. If all the armies of our Kingdom of Lampali have such qualities, then the army of our Kingdom of Lampali may be It can be ranked high in the entire Sainz continent.”
"You are exaggerating." Earl Satsuma waved his hand. "There are many factors that determine the strength of a country's military. The physical fitness of the soldiers is only one aspect. In addition, there are also many aspects such as equipment and logistics that are equally important. Among them, the most important factor that determines the level of combat effectiveness in battle is The most direct thing is the equipment.”
Xu Yi was shocked.
Of course, Earl Satsuma is not a person who likes to talk nonsense, but what does he mean by talking to himself about soldiers' equipment
After thinking about it, Xu Yi could only nod reluctantly: "Yes, I agree."
Earl Satsuma continued to ask: "Xu Yi, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now able to use magic machine tools to mass-produce magic fans, magic rice cookers and a series of iron magic machines, right?"
"Well, that's true."
"Then you..." Earl Satsuma glanced at Xu Yi, paused, and said in a tone that didn't seem to care much. He said lightly: "It shouldn't be a problem to develop a magic machine tool that can mass-produce armor weapons?"
Xu Yi shook his hands slightly. He almost lost his grip on the teacup in his hand.
After calming down, Xu Yi asked Earl Satsuma in a deep voice: "Lord City Lord, what do you mean?"
"What? Don't you understand what I said?" Earl Satsuma stared at Xu Yi and said seriously: "I ask you, are you sure you can develop a method that can produce magic fans and magic rice cookers with high efficiency? A magical machine tool for mass-producing the armor and weapons that soldiers need?"
Xu Yi fell silent, and after a while he answered with some difficulty: "Theoretically... no problem. Even many of the magic machine tools we use now, including the magic stamping machine, can be completed relatively simply with just a few modifications. Armor casting. As for weapons... it depends on what kind of weapons they are."
Count Satsuma's eyes lit up and he asked: "What about bows and arrows, for example?"
"As for bows... I don't know much about what kind of bows are used now, so I can't answer. But in terms of arrows alone, if you only make pure steel arrowheads, it is actually no more troublesome than making screws, and it is even more difficult from a craftsmanship perspective. Simple. As for the arrow shaft... If you want to make a one-piece pure steel arrow, the casting process is a little more troublesome, but if you just need to make an alloy steel arrow shaft or a plastic arrow shaft, the process is not too troublesome. Although it is a bit difficult to produce corresponding magic machines, I think it should be no problem. However, developing these things will hinder the research and development of civilian magic machines in our chamber of commerce. I think... "
"Wait a minute..." The expression on Earl Satsuma's face was a little confused. He raised his hand to signal Xu Yi to pause. After thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "What alloy steel and plastic are you talking about? Why have I never heard of it?" ?”
Xu Yi was startled, and then he realized that he was answering according to the standards on earth, but he forgot that the understanding of materials used in various mechanical processes in this world is still very shallow.
At least everyone has seen alloy steel in the automatic magic rice cooker and magic bread maker, but plastic... is still being researched by the Yege tribe, and there is still a short period of time before it is actually released.
"Both of these are special craft materials that can produce different effects depending on the material. For example, the material used by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to manufacture the automatic magic rice cooker and magic bread machine is an alloy we have recently developed. Steel. This alloy steel I named Silver Leaf Steel is lighter than ordinary iron, but its hardness is no worse than iron, and it also has the property of not rusting. "
"Wouldn't it be better to use this kind of silver leaf steel to cast armor and weapons?" Earl Satsuma asked immediately.
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment: "This... I'm not sure. Because the armor and weapons worn by soldiers require many extreme requirements, and Silver Leaf Steel has not yet conducted real extreme tests, and we cannot determine whether it can withstand the armor and weapons. Weapon casting needs.”
"Since there is silver leaf steel, that means there must be other kinds of alloy steel you mentioned? Then among these alloy steels, there should be alloy steels that are more suitable for making armor and weapons?" Earl Satsuma was chasing after him.
"This...should be there." Xu Yi could only nod helplessly.
"Very good!" Earl Satsuma slammed the table, laughed twice, then patted Xu Yi's shoulder hard, and said excitedly: "I originally just wanted your New Flying Chamber of Commerce to develop the magic power I need. Machine tool, but I didn’t expect to ask more useful things from you. Xu Yi, Xu Yi, I really didn’t expect you to have so many treasures hidden. If I didn’t ask, would you not have told me?”
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Lord City Lord, after all, this is the commercial secret of our chamber of commerce. If you hadn't asked about it on your own initiative, how could I have disclosed it so easily."
"Trade secrets?" Earl Satsuma smiled and shook his head. "In the face of the interests of the entire kingdom, a few business secrets are nothing. Okay, Xu Yi, I will give you two options now. The first option is to agree to me to develop the magic machine tool I just mentioned for the kingdom, and at the same time, What about alloy steel and plastic? The second option is to reject me, and then your new aircraft business will fend for itself. "
Xu Yi could only continue to smile helplessly: "Lord City Lord, do I have a choice?" (To be continued...)
