Earl Stark's reaction came quite quickly.
After Earl Satsuma handed over the work to him and left Bangta City, and he officially became the city lord of Bangta City, only a week passed before the new city lord's palace introduced a measure.
On the surface, there is no problem with this measure. The reason is that the new city lord took office and decided to conduct an inventory inside and outside Bangta City, especially the land use situation, so that the new city lord can familiarize himself with the situation and implement some targeted measures. .
But in actual operation, they quickly found the head of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The first target was to find Sanqidun Manor.
Sankidun Manor was originally the private estate of Viscount Sankiddon. Later, due to the bankruptcy of Viscount Sankiddon's family, he was forced to sell the land connected to the manor and the manor, and Xu Yi paid a high price. Bought it, and then Xu Yi converted it into a small production base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
When Earl Satsuma was the city lord, no one thought there was any problem with doing this.
However, when Earl Stark took over as the city lord and began to conduct an inventory of the land use situation in Bonta City, he raised questions about the current situation of Sanchiton Manor.
According to the notification from the City Lord's Palace, since Sanqiton Manor was originally the manor of Viscount Sanqiton, that area of the territory belongs to private residential land.
According to the laws of the Lampali Kingdom, private residential land cannot be used for commercial purposes.
In other words, although Xu Yi could buy the manor from Viscount Sanqiton, he could only use it as his own private residence, but could not transform it into the production base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
to this situation. It was stated in the announcement from the City Lord’s Mansion. Xu Yi was ordered to immediately rectify the Sanqidun Manor. The factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must be moved out in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will be eligible to take back the ownership of the land occupied by Sanqiton Manor according to the laws of the kingdom.
Once this announcement was issued, it immediately caused a lot of criticism in Bangta City.
It has been more than a year since Sanqiton Manor was converted into a production base by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. No one has ever felt that there was any problem. The former city lord, Earl Satsuma, did not express any opinions on this. Why did Earl Stark immediately order Xu to do so as soon as he took over? Also make corrections
But the Bangta Daily newspaper published a provision in the "Lampali Kingdom Land Use Regulations" on its front page.
described in accordance with this provision. The current situation in Sanqidun Manor is indeed illegal. The actions of the City Lord's Mansion are based on legal principles and are not wrong.
Moreover, "Bangta Daily" also stated in the corresponding commentary article that in fact, this situation is not impossible to avoid.
If Xu Yi, after purchasing the Sanqiton Manor, applied to the Kingdom's Noble Council to use it for commercial purposes and received approval from the Noble Council, there would be no problem.
Although according to the general chapter of the Kingdom's Noble Council, the territory of a noble is privately owned by the noble, no matter how the noble handles his own territory, it is his private matter. No one else has the right to interfere.
But this territory is theoretically owned by Viscount Sanqiton, if he changes it to commercial land. Indeed, no one is qualified to question it.
However, Xu Yi bought this territory from Viscount Sanqiton. According to the relevant regulations of the Noble Council, although the ownership of this land belongs to Xu Yi, how to deal with it specifically is impossible for Xu Yi to be like Sanqidun. Viscount Kaiton is so free and unfettered.
In general, on the surface, there is no problem with this announcement from the City Lord's Palace regarding Sanqidun Manor.
"Bah!" President Cruz spat viciously. "On the surface, there is no problem, but who would be so unkind? This Earl Stark is clearly targeting you."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "What? Did you just find out today?"
President Cruise glanced at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, are you not in a hurry at all? Earl Stark has already started to attack you, so you are going to Just look at it?”
"Otherwise, what can I do?" Xu Yi spread his hands. "You just said it. On the surface, there is no problem with what he said. And after all, he is the lord of Bangta City. No matter how he does these things, he has his reasons. As a Bangta city, I How can an ordinary businessman in Tacheng go against the laws of the kingdom and the city lord's palace? "
President Cruise said in a low voice: "Then you mean to sit here and wait to die?"
"What does waiting to die mean?" Xu Yi asked. "Didn't I expect this kind of thing a long time ago and prepare for it in advance?"
President Cruise was startled, then woke up, widened his eyes, and looked at Xu Yi in disbelief: "I said... you wouldn't have known that he would target Sanqiton Manor, so you would move in advance, right? ?”
"That's okay. But I just knew for a long time that he would definitely target me and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so I was prepared in advance. But I didn't expect that he would directly attack Sanqidun Manor. I was really anxious. "Xu Yidao.
President Cruz glared: "Since you already know this, why don't you just be more prepared? With your relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and Earl Satsuma, it's just a matter of completing the formalities. It can be solved casually, so why is it that Lord Stark is obsessed with this issue and is so passive?"
"If... I did it on purpose, would you believe it?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Deliberately?" President Cruz was suddenly stunned, frowned and asked: "Why did you deliberately leave a clue for him to catch? Now you have to rectify the Sanqiton Manor, is it right for you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? What's good?"
"Of course there are benefits. Although we will have to suffer some losses when we move from Sanqidun Manor, in the long run, the foundation of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will inevitably remain in Luoyu Valley, so sooner or later we will still need to transfer the R&D institutions and production facilities within the Chamber of Commerce. The centralized organization can make management coordination more convenient," Xu Yidao said. "As for the benefits to me... you might as well ask me the disadvantages to Earl Stark."
"The harm to Earl Stark?" President Cruise was puzzled. "What's the harm to him? There's no way he can fault him for doing this. No matter how much Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny supports you, she can't do anything to him because of this matter. So what else can he lose? Can’t do it?”
"Some losses cannot be seen on the surface." Xu Yi showed a meaningful smile, but did not intend to continue explaining to Chairman Cruise. Instead, he paused, immediately changed the subject and asked: "Okay, we'll discuss these issues later. Let's discuss what your Chamber of Commerce should do next."
"What's there to do?" As soon as he mentioned the affairs of the Amri Chamber of Commerce, President Cruz immediately became angry and sneered: "Our respected new city lord claims to do an inventory and ordered our chamber of commerce to conduct an inspection in the city. All projects outside the city must be stopped and no work is allowed to start. A lot of people in our chamber of commerce have been idle at home for several days with nothing to do! Look at this, maybe we won’t even think about starting any work in the future!”
"Isn't that just right?" Xu Yi laughed instead. "Don't you always say that you are short of manpower? Many things you want to do cannot be done. Now that work here is forced to stop, you can take these free manpower to other places. Isn't it easy to get a job? I have a lot of projects that your chamber of commerce needs to do right now.”
President Cruz sighed, shook his head and said: "Actually, I am not worried that the Chamber of Commerce will have no business, but I am worried that if this continues, the foundation of our Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City will be destroyed. Our Amuli Chamber of Commerce is in Founded in Bonta City and has been developing and growing in Bonta City. If Count Stark insists on this approach, I am afraid that like you, I will have to consider moving our Amri Chamber of Commerce out of Bonta City. "
"What? You have this idea too?" Xu Yi was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that President Cruise did not have an irresolvable conflict with Earl Stark like himself, and he would definitely not decide to move the entire New Flying Chamber of Commerce directly out of Bonta City and get rid of Earl Stark like he did. influence and control.
But he didn't expect that President Cruise would not only advance and retreat with him at the joint meeting of the Federation of Commerce, but now he would actually make the same choice as him on such a major matter.
"Of course, if there is even a chance, I would not be willing to move our Amuli Chamber of Commerce. But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is little hope." President Cruise looked at Xu Yi, He smiled bitterly and said: "Judging from the attitude of our new city lord, he should have included me in your group. He will not let you go, and of course he will not let me go."
Xu Yi patted President Cruise on the shoulder and sighed softly: "I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you."
President Cruz laughed and shook his head vigorously: "What about being involved? If we hadn't started cooperating with you, how could our Amuli Chamber of Commerce develop to its current size in such a short period of time? Because you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce , I have realized my dream of developing the Amri Chamber of Commerce into a large chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom. I am only grateful to you, so how can I feel that I am being affected by you?"
Xu Yi was silent for a moment and nodded lightly: "Since that's the case, I won't say any more meaningless words. In short, since you choose to advance and retreat together with me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we will maintain such a cooperative relationship in the future. Don’t worry, I am confident that as long as you continue to cooperate with me, the Amri Chamber of Commerce will not only become one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom, but it can even become the leading chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz Continent!”
President Cruise laughed: "Of course I have confidence in you. But Xu Yi, before that, do you think of a way to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce survive? Otherwise, all these words will have no effect. It makes sense.”
Xu Yi chuckled, glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Let the new city lord continue to perform. I think he must not know that such a performance is actually a script I wrote for him a long time ago." (To be continued...)
