After inspecting the village of Koror, Xu Yi took a carriage directly to the United Irish Chamber of Commerce located in the Sandkiton Industrial Zone.
Compared with last year when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Small Chamber of Commerce Support Plan was first promulgated, the number of various small machinery parts processing factories scattered around Sanqidun Manor has increased by dozens, from more than 60 at the beginning. It has increased to more than 100 now.
Achieving such growth in less than a year not only proves that the magic industry industry is further recognized, but also proves that this industry indeed has a bright future.
Take the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, which first thought of parts processing, as an example.
Last year, Freeman and several villagers from the same village proposed this idea to Xu Yi. When the United Irish Chamber of Commerce was first founded, the total assets did not even exceed 200 gold coins.
The three most important magic machine tools at the beginning of their chamber of commerce were delivered to them by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on a loan basis.
In the eyes of many people, a chamber of commerce with such conditions is not qualified to be called a chamber of commerce, and it is barely even called a workshop.
However, relying on this chamber of commerce, which is even smaller than a small workshop, Freeman and others earned more than 5,000 gold coins in less than half a year last year!
The current Ailan United Chamber of Commerce has not only paid off the debts of those magic machine tools, but also purchased several new magic machine tools, and even built a beautiful new factory. No matter how you look at it, it can be regarded as a A decent and formal chamber of commerce.
And because the United Irish Chamber of Commerce was one of the earliest chambers of commerce to enter parts processing, it also received strong support from Xu Yi, coupled with the serious efforts of Freeman and others. The current Irish United Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the leading chamber of commerce in the parts processing industry in Bonta City. Not only does it take over almost all the parts processing business of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It also has good and close cooperative relations with several other chambers of commerce in Bangta City.
Last year, the Ailan United Chamber of Commerce earned more than five thousand gold coins in less than half a year, which was already amazing.
It has only been more than two months this year. According to what Freeman and Xu Yi mentioned when they met last time, they have already earned five thousand gold coins!
So whenever you see Freeman, you will find that he always has an extremely happy smile on his face and a cheerful look.
"Haha, President Xu, can I be unhappy? Yesterday we just negotiated with Armani and placed an order for 100,000 spinning needles." Freeman said to Xu Yi with a smile: "To tell you the truth. Just rely on With this order, we can earn hundreds of gold coins.”
"Congratulations to you then." Xu Yi nodded and smiled.
"President Xu, please don't laugh at me. I know that the reason why the Armani Chamber of Commerce will finally give this order to us is because you mentioned the name of our Irish United Chamber of Commerce to President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce. Wrong?" Freeman asked seriously.
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Who told you?"
Freeman scratched his head: "Kovach told me. He said that at a banquet in the city last time, he saw you talking to the president of the Armani Chamber of Commerce. And within two days, the Armani Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to send People come to place orders with us, so it must be because you recommended us to the Armani Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, they may not choose us.”
"Banquet?" Xu Yi recalled. I thought what Freeman was talking about was that the city lord followed tradition five days ago to celebrate the passing of winter. A banquet held for the coming of spring.
At that banquet, he did have a conversation with President Vincent, but the main content of the conversation was about the large amount of materials that were about to be sent to the Black Rice Wasteland. As for the name of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, it was indeed the Vincentian Chamber of Commerce. When the director asked him which chamber was the best for parts processing, he said it.
If that is the case, the United Irish Chamber of Commerce was able to receive this order mainly because of Xu Yi's recommendation.
But of course Xu Yi is not here to take credit.
An order with a total price of less than 10,000 gold coins may be a very important order for the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, but of course it will not be taken seriously by him now.
So Xu Yi just patted Freeman on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if it weren't for the quality of the parts processed by your chamber of commerce, I wouldn't recommend you to President Vincent Utter, right?"
Seeing that Freeman seemed to want to express his gratitude, Xu Yi quickly changed the subject, looked left and right and asked, "Where is the thing I want?"
Freeman's words of thanks were directly blocked by Xu Yi. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately took Xu Yi to a magic machine tool that was working in a corner of their factory.
There are more than hundreds of small round iron bottle caps stacked next to this magic machine tool, which are the most important parts needed for making canned fruits.
Xu Yi picked up one and took it in his hand to look at it. He found that the bottle cap felt smooth and had no flaws in its appearance. When he touched it with his fingers on the inside, he could feel the smooth threads.
After taking a glass bottle from Freeman, Xu Yi closed the bottle cap, and with a slight twist, the bottle cap snapped shut with the glass bottle, leaving almost nothing exposed.
Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction, then tried a few more bottle caps and found that these caps could fit the glass bottle tightly.
"Very good. It seems that you have found the trick. These bottle caps are very suitable." Xu Yi showed an appreciative smile to Freeman.
Seeing Xu Yi's approval, Freeman immediately showed a happy smile.
When Xu Yi handed over the production and processing of the fruit can bottle caps to them, he only gave them a few drawings and corresponding specific data, but said nothing else, and did not send out the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like he had done before when producing some parts. Technical personnel provided guidance, so they could only explore on their own.
In the early stages, in order to produce a qualified bottle cap, they experienced countless failures and produced countless scraps.
Although the current pile of bottle caps can meet the requirements, before this pile of bottle caps, there were more than 10,000 failed bottle caps that were discarded!
But as Xu Yi said to Freeman and Kovacs. A chamber of commerce wants to grow. You must have something that you can truly master. Simply relying on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide them with technical guidance will not be helpful to the growth of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce.
Both Freeman and Kovacs knew this, so they did not raise any objections, preferring to conduct experiments on their own.
Although the experiment failed with more than 10,000 bottle caps, causing a loss of nearly 1,000 gold coins, they still persisted.
The results of persistence are remarkable.
After this "technical breakthrough" as Xu Yi said, Freeman clearly discovered that several workers at the United Irish Chamber of Commerce had greatly improved their skills in operating various magic machine tools.
For example, the young man in front of me is operating this magic machine tool. When he first entered the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, he didn't even know what a magic machine tool was, but now he has become an excellent magic machine tool operator.
Xu Yi even rated him as being almost the same as the dwarves in the Magic Machine Tool Workshop of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
You must know that although dwarves have short hands and thick fingers, they have extremely high talents in this area.
Being able to compare with the dwarves in this aspect can be regarded as the highest compliment.
In addition, the most important thing is that during these failed experiments, the United Irish Chamber of Commerce discovered many problems that had not been discovered before, and gained many new insights and understandings about parts processing.
Freeman is very confident that if he has to choose one with the strongest technical strength among the more than 100 small parts processing chambers of commerce in Sanqiton Industrial Zone, then it must be their United Irish Chamber of Commerce!
"President Xu, since you are satisfied with the bottle caps we have produced now, can we start formal production? How many do you plan to order for the first batch?" Seeing Xu Yi, he measured it with the vernier caliper he made himself. After learning about the diameter of the bottle cap and the thickness of the rim, Freeman asked again.
"Don't worry yet." Xu Yi shook his head. "It will take at least two months for the fruit canned factory to actually go into production. At that time, I will determine the type and quantity of the first batch of canned fruits. It just so happens that you have received a big order from the Amuli Chamber of Commerce, so hurry up and take advantage of it. Just do it.”
"Yes." Freeman nodded and agreed readily.
After taking Xu Yi around the factory again, Xu Yi decided to leave.
After sending Xu Yi out of the factory, Freeman suddenly showed an uneasy expression and opened his mouth hesitantly, but never said anything.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You know I never like to beat around the bush."
Freeman scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "That's right. President Xu, there are many small businesses engaged in parts processing in this industrial zone. Although there are many benefits, the competition is too fierce. Every time Many merchants are fighting tooth and nail for one order, and many chambers of commerce even choose to cut prices directly. We don’t make much money processing these parts. If the price is pushed down so low, no one will make any money in the future. ”
"So? Have you come up with any solution?" Xu Yi asked.
Freeman chuckled: "It's not because I didn't think of it that I wanted to ask you if there is any solution."
Xu Yi glared at him angrily: "Have you not thought about it or refused to think about it? Where is Kaovach? He must have come up with this idea to ask me. Why are you the one asking?"
"He went to Kalma City to contact other businesses." Freeman said with a deadpan smile: "President Xu, you are the president of the Bonta City Magic Machinery Business Association, our small chamber of commerce that processes parts. Or is it all because of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s support plan for small chambers of commerce? You can’t just ignore it?”
Seeing Freeman's pleading expression, Xu Yi sighed and nodded: "Okay, parts processing is also a part of the magic industry, and I can't ignore it. When the business association meets next time, I will propose that every magic There is a minimum price announced for machinery and related products, and any chamber of commerce selling below this price will be defined as vicious competition and will be directly driven out of the industry.”
Freeman immediately became happy and cheered: "Great! As long as you say a word, President Xu, this problem can be easily solved. In this way, everyone will no longer have to kill each other!"
Xu Yi glanced at the delighted Freeman, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Don't be too happy. Within the confines of Bangta City, I can still help you solve this problem. But when you get out When Bangta City faces the entire Lampali Kingdom, or even goes beyond the Lampali Kingdom and faces the entire continent, I can't help you like this."
Freeman laughed and waved his hand coolly: "That's not easy. Now, President Xu, what you say is effective in Bangta City. When we face the entire kingdom, what you say will definitely be effective in the entire kingdom. And wait When we target the entire continent, what you say will definitely be applicable to the entire continent!”
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
"Freeman, you really think highly of me..." (To be continued...)
