What happened at the Great Chamber of Commerce product launch event was reported by major newspapers and spread quickly in Bangta City and several surrounding cities.
Almost overnight, the Great Chamber of Commerce became like a rat on the street, and everyone shouted for beatings.
The various magical machines previously produced by the Great Chamber of Commerce also completely lost sales in an instant, and even became something that everyone could avoid like a plague.
Of course, sales volume is no longer important to the Great Chamber of Commerce.
Because after the product launch, the Great Chamber of Commerce immediately announced its closure, and President Camilo also disappeared without a trace.
In everyone's eyes, Camilo and the Great Chamber of Commerce he founded have become shameful thieves and liars, and there is no chance of them turning around.
And considering what the Grete Chamber of Commerce and Camilo did in the previous month, everyone felt that it was like watching a clown performance, which was extremely funny.
Everyone couldn't help but sneer at the thought that the Great Chamber of Commerce dared to shout a slogan that surpassed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After this incident, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's status in people's minds has once again been stabilized and improved.
Now everyone agrees that perhaps the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not strong enough. It is not the largest chamber of commerce in Bangta City, nor is it a relatively powerful first-class chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom. However, in the field of magic machinery, it is absolutely No chamber of commerce can match it, and no one or any chamber of commerce can compete with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in this field.
And people are paying more attention to the new flying magic machines.
After this incident. The sales of various magical machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have actually increased dramatically, and it has even entered the end of August, and the whole summer is about to pass. The sales of Xinfei brand magic fans, magic air conditioners, and magic refrigerators, which are mainly used in summer, have also rebounded strongly, and sales have once again hit a small peak.
When the statistics were finally compiled at the end of the month, Xu Yi was surprised to find that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's sales of all household magic machines this month not only did not decrease compared to July, but actually increased.
This is really an unexpected surprise.
Xu Yi's initial response to this incident was just to find out who was behind Camilo's actions, and then cause the other party to suffer losses through this arrangement. Using this to attack the other party can also be regarded as a warning to the other party. They never thought about the benefits that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself would receive from this matter.
Not only is the original plan now successfully implemented. Camilo was severely punished for this, and the people behind him also suffered huge losses because of their heavy investment in the Great Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually benefited from this, which is really a throwaway stone. . But he accidentally hit two birds.
So Xu Yi has been in a good mood during this time.
But when I saw the expressionless Wella. His good mood could no longer be maintained.
Xu Yi looked directly into Wella's eyes, not avoiding her gaze at all. They looked at each other for a long time, and finally sighed, shaking his head slowly but firmly: "No. Wella, I can't promise you. Rem made too many mistakes this time. Da, if I let him go because of you, how can I live up to the other researchers at the institute? Or to put it more bluntly, I don’t want to let him go. "
Wella seemed a little surprised by Xu Yi's answer. After raising his eyebrows, his face calmed down and he said: "Why? I heard Evita say that you had colluded with her a long time ago, right? If that wasn't the case, Rem wouldn't have been able to do this. He took away so much research information from the institute so easily. To be honest, it was because you allowed him to do so that he made a big mistake."
"No, you are wrong." Xu Yi shook his head. "Although it was true that Evita and I deliberately acted for him later, Wella, if Rem didn't have this idea, what's the point of our acting well? What's more, according to Camilo's explanation "Rem had bad intentions when he first wanted to join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If I hadn't accidentally noticed his problem, our Chamber of Commerce would have suffered huge losses this time."
Wella fell silent, and the room suddenly fell into silence.
Xu Yi looked at the complicated emotions on Wella's face and couldn't help but sigh: "Wella, you have broken up with Rem, why do you still think about him so much? You were never willing to ask for help, but now you are Because he asked me for love twice, do you still think he is worthy of your devotion at this time? "
The expression on Wella's face finally couldn't remain calm, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she whispered softly: "After all, he is the closest person to me. It is... difficult for me to completely abandon him."
Xu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the more cold people like Wella look on the outside, the more fiery they are inside.
It was clearly Wella who decided to break up with Rem because she felt that Rem's personality was no longer suitable for her, but now she still bows her proud head in front of Xu Yi because of Rem.
Although Xu Yi admires Wella's spirit, it does not mean that he agrees with it.
"I'm sorry, Wella, I still can't agree to this. Rem has done something wrong, and he must be punished for it. He is already an adult and cannot have the same opportunity to make mistakes as a child." Xu Yi said righteously.
Wei Na looked at Xu Yi again, but Xu Yi still looked directly at her without evading his gaze.
Seeing the firm expression on Xu Yi's face, Wella knew that his mind could no longer be changed, so she could only lower her eyelids and nodded lightly.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing that Wella was about to leave the room, Xu Yi thought for a moment, sighed secretly, and opened his mouth to call out to Wella.
"Wella, I can't promise you anything else, but I can promise you something. I will preserve Rem's most basic reputation."
Wella's originally calm eyes suddenly lit up, a smile finally appeared on her face, and then she solemnly bowed to Xu Yi.
"President, thank you."
This was the first time that Wella addressed Xu Yi in such a respectful tone.
Xu Yi waved his hand. Wella then turned and left.
Looking at the door that was closed again, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh again.
Because business on Sainz Continent is far less developed than on Earth, in fact no country on Sainz Continent has a complete set of business-related laws.
Thus. As a result, even if Xu Yi exposed Rem and Camilo's shameful behavior and provided sufficient evidence, he was unable to give them reasonable punishment because there was no relevant legal basis.
Although according to the rules of the Lampali Kingdom or the entire Sainz Continent, if you steal the secrets of other chambers of commerce like this, you will definitely suffer private revenge from the chamber of commerce whose secrets were stolen, but Xu Yi does not intend to do this. Because he felt that it was pointless to specifically target Rem and Camilo like this.
In Xu Yi's view, punishing these two people is a trivial matter, so establishing relevant laws and regulations is a major matter.
So after a secret conversation with Earl Satsuma. Earl Satsuma arrested Rem and Camilo directly and sent them to the Kingdom's Commercial Management Office in Anvilmar City.
According to the regulations of the Commercial Administration Department, these two people will be banned from working in any chamber of commerce within ten years, and they will not be allowed to engage in any business activities exceeding a certain amount.
At the same time, because of their identities as magicians. They were also punished by the Magician's Guild.
The Magician's Guild not only deprived the two of them of their magician status recognized by the union. They are also banned from participating in the qualification assessment of the Magician's Guild for twenty years.
To put it simply, the two of them are no longer official magicians recognized by the Magicians Guild from now on.
Although the punishment from the Commercial Administration Department and the Magician's Union was a huge blow to the two people, which was equivalent to directly depriving them of their original status, and their subsequent lives would be greatly affected by it, Xu Yi was not satisfied with this result. Not satisfied.
Because according to the commercial laws on earth, the behavior of these two people has completely constituted the crime of commercial espionage, and the degree is enough to meet the criminal sentencing standards, and they were arrested and imprisoned.
However, there is no such legal provision in the Lampali Kingdom. Therefore, Xu Yi could only punish him additionally in accordance with the confidentiality clause he had signed with Rem.
This additional punishment is very severe and is in accordance with the provisions of the contract. Rem must pay high compensation for betraying the secrets of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and is prohibited from engaging in magic machinery-related industries for life.
The latter one has little impact on Rem for the time being, but the high compensation is simply beyond Rem's ability to afford, because the amount is as high as 50,000 gold coins, and Rem's monthly salary is only 30 gold coins at most. , this money cannot be repaid even in a lifetime.
Regarding this point, there is another relevant provision in the Kingdom Law.
If the debt signed by the debtor is too high, exceeding one hundred times the debtor's income in the previous year, it proves that the debtor is unable to repay the debt.
Regarding the inability to repay debts, the law of the kingdom stipulates that if the debtor cannot prove that he has the ability to repay the debt within one year, then after the one-year period, all the debtor's property will be paid.
If after paying all the property, the debtor is still in a situation where he is unable to repay the debt, then according to the laws of the kingdom, the debtor can only repay with himself, so he will be judged as a slave of the debtor.
And Rem had no stable income at all last year. Even if all were calculated, it would not exceed 300 gold coins.
If it were a hundred times, it would only be 30,000 gold coins, which was still a full 20,000 gold coins short of the 50,000 gold coins stipulated in the compensation.
Rem's family situation is not good, so even if all his family property is mortgaged, it is still impossible to get rid of the situation of being unable to repay the debt after a year.
In other words, if nothing happens, Rem will be directly judged as Xu Yi's slave by the kingdom's laws in one year's time!
For Rem, a magician who once had a very high status, this was undoubtedly an unacceptable humiliation.
So even though Wella had broken up with him, she still couldn't help but come to Xu Yi to plead for mercy.
Of course Xu Yi was not willing to let Rem go so easily, but after careful consideration, he still agreed that Wella would preserve Rem's last reputation.
As for how to retain it, it depends on how Xu Yi chooses.
Compared to Rem, Xu Yi actually wanted Camilo to be severely punished.
Although Rem is hateful, if Camilo hadn't instigated him, he probably wouldn't have embarked on this evil path. So strictly speaking, Camilo is the mastermind and should be punished even more severely than Rem.
However, there was no contract between Camilo and Xu Yi, and according to the laws of the kingdom, he could not be punished in any way.
The punishment he received was nothing more than the punishment meted out to him by the Commercial Administration and the Magician's Guild.
Compared to Rem's terrible punishment of being turned into a slave, Camilo's public punishment was simply painless.
Of course, this is just public punishment.
In fact, on the way to escorting Camilo to Anvilmar City, he was directly picked up by the Kingdom's Northern Army in the name of emergency deployment, and then escorted to the battlefield in the north of the Kingdom.
Although he would not be sent directly to the battlefield to die for unknown reasons, Viscount Leslie made it clear in his reply to Xu Yi that this distinguished Camilo magician would definitely be deeply loved by the Zhenbei Army. The "warm welcome" from those finely dressed soldiers.
In less than half a year, Your Majesty the Magician’s delicate buttocks will inevitably become unrecognizable. (To be continued...)
