The so-called affiliation, strictly speaking, is actually a method of substituting one thing for another.
On earth, when many small companies do not obtain the corresponding business qualifications, they will choose to affiliate their company under the name of a company with business qualifications to obtain this business qualification.
This method is very common on Earth, but it is rare on the Sainz continent.
When Xu Yi was thinking about how to solve the problem of establishing this elf processing factory belonging to the Yege tribe, he thought of this common practice on the earth.
After careful consideration, Xu Yi proposed to Elder Elusia that the plastic processing factory should be affiliated under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
From a nominal point of view, this plastic processing factory belongs to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but both the workers and the management in this factory are all elves from the Yege tribe.
Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only has nominal ownership of the plastic processing plant. In fact, no one, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, can intervene in all related matters of the plastic processing plant.
So in fact, this plastic processing factory belongs to the Yege tribe completely and has nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, this can be regarded as exploiting loopholes in some business-related laws of the Lampali Kingdom.
In the business-related laws of the Lampali Kingdom, there are no relevant provisions for the establishment of chambers of commerce by different races, so this can be used flexibly.
Xu Yi could rely on his good relationship with Count Satsuma to help the Yege tribe solve this problem, but because of the appearance of Count Stark, he did not make this request to the current lord of Bangta City at all. Because it will definitely not pass.
But because of this situation. But it also resulted in no restrictions on it. This allowed Xu Yi to exploit this loophole and nominally hire all the elves prepared by Elder Elushia for the plastic processing factory as workers of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so that these elves could avoid many problems by relying on the labor certificates they applied for.
Then in private, Xu Yi signed another contract with Elder Elusia, stating that all relevant rights of the plastic processing plant belonged to the Yege tribe, and that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had no decision-making power.
According to the laws of the Lampali Kingdom, private contracts are sacrosanct as long as they do not violate the laws of the kingdom. This makes the contract legal and reasonable without any problems.
In this way, not only can this plastic processing factory carry out a series of related work like an ordinary human chamber of commerce without being hindered on the surface, but also achieve the goal of Elder Elushia to let the people of the tribe accept human-style business training. This will prevent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from being questioned.
"I'm afraid it's impossible not to be questioned." Sevigny shook his head. "However, there are indeed many loopholes in the Kingdom's laws in business management. What you do can only be considered reasonable."
Xu Yi gave Sevini a strange look: "Your Highness, from what you said, aren't you going to amend the law to make up for this loophole?"
"At least it's impossible during this period of time." Sevini shook his head. "The kingdom's top leaders are arguing endlessly about whether we should pay more attention to agricultural development or commercial development. During this time, no one will come to care about such trivial matters as loopholes in business laws."
"What's the result?" Xu Yi immediately asked with concern: "Is it the people who value agriculture or the people who value commerce?"
"For the time being, there is no result. Otherwise, Earl Stark would not target your New Flying Chamber of Commerce in Bonta City." Sevini glanced at Xu Yi and said apologetically: "I've made you suffer. It's true. I'm sorry."
"No, this is not implication." Xu Yi shook his head. "For me, it is very important that the kingdom can support commercial development. If the kingdom is full of stubborn old-schoolers like Count Starr who only believe that the development of agriculture is the foundation of the country, then Xinfei and I The Chamber of Commerce is having trouble moving forward.”
"Don't worry, this won't happen." Sevini smiled and shook his head. "In fact, the nobles in the kingdom will always have disagreements, disputes and even struggles because of their own interests. The reason why Earl Stark is so obviously targeting you is actually to reflect the will of the Stark family." The Tucker family is the noble with the most territory in the kingdom, and they will certainly support the development of agriculture as a priority.”
"This is a typical case where the butt determines the head." Xu Yi sighed helplessly. "It is impossible for them not to see the benefits brought by the development of commerce, and it is even more impossible not to see that agricultural development and commercial development are things that can go forward together, and there is no real contradiction. So in the end, Earl Stark did this It’s not to suppress our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it’s just to ensure the status of the Stark family.”
"That's true, but Earl Stark only took over as the lord of Bonta City for just one month, and the prosperity of Bonta City suddenly disappeared by more than half. I was walking around Bonta City yesterday. After walking around, I found that there were fewer people in the city than when I last came, and many of the shops on the roadside were closed, making the whole street look extremely desolate. "Sevigny said with emotion: "It's only been a month. To be able to bring about such a big change in a city, I really admire Earl Stark’s ability.”
"Then you and His Majesty the King are still watching him torture like this?" Xu Yi couldn't help but give Sevini a disrespectful look. "I thought, Your Highness, you came to me this time to tell me the good news that Earl Stark will finally be transferred."
"Unfortunately, this is impossible." Sevini heard the resentment in Xu Yi's tone and laughed instead. "After all, Earl Stark has just served as the Lord of Bangta City for a month, and on the surface, he has done nothing wrong. Even the father can't find a reason to transfer him. And you should know very well that he can Serving as the city lord of Bangta City is actually the result of a tacit agreement between all the nobles in the kingdom. Everyone on both sides wants to see whether it is more beneficial to develop agriculture or business. "
"Then Bangta City became a testing ground?" Xu Yi snorted coldly. "I have to say that making this decision is really meaningless. Because this issue does not require proof at all. The development of agriculture is the foundation for maintaining the normal operation of the kingdom, and the development of industry and commerce is the hope of making the kingdom stronger. Bangta City The development of the magic industry has finally made the business prosperous, but now it is almost ruined by this bad decision. Doesn't His Majesty know the seriousness of this? "
In fact, Xu Yi wanted to say that these nobles, and even His Majesty the King, were really stupid for having this idea.
How could anyone conduct such a bullshit experiment with Bangta City, which is booming in the kingdom and is likely to become the economic center of the entire Lampali Kingdom
Moreover, in this experiment, the side that supports agricultural development clearly has the upper hand, because the person who came to serve as the lord of Bonta City was Earl Stark, who belonged to that side.
Of course, in front of Sevini, Xu Yike did not dare to call His Majesty the King mentally retarded...
"Of course my father knows, but he has no choice." Sevini sighed: "If you want to suppress the opposition, you must have an obvious fact that can be seen by everyone, and Bonta The city is very suitable. As for the situation in Bonta City, both the internal reports of the Kingdom Council and the major newspapers in Anvilmar City have been reporting on it. I think everyone can clearly see what happened before and after Bonta City. Variety."
"Then since you have seen it, why do you continue to conduct experiments and cause Bangta City and even the entire Lampali Kingdom to suffer losses?" Xu Yi asked.
"The time is too short after all." Sevini shook his head. "Anyway, Earl Stark has only been here for a month. If we want everyone to see the clearest and most intuitive comparison results, we at least need to let him go through the autumn harvest and year-end settlement."
"Wouldn't it take more than half a year?" Xu Yi immediately frowned. "If this is the case, Your Highness, I think my previous proposal should be launched. Otherwise, when Bonta City is completely destroyed by Earl Stark, we will not even have a chance to save it."
"Already started." Sevini nodded. "I came here this time to tell you some really good news. I think you might jump for joy after hearing it."
Seeing the extremely rare naughty smile on Sevini's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but wonder, could it really be a very good news
"Listen up." Seeing Xu Yi's expectant face, Sevini smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Dear Baron Xu Yi, in view of your outstanding contribution to the Kingdom of Lampali, you have now passed the Kingdom's Noble Council After research, we have decided to upgrade your title from Baron to Viscount. Congratulations, Xu Yi, from now on, you will be the distinguished Viscount, and you can get along with Viscount Leslie on an equal footing when you meet him."
Xu Yi curled his lips disdainfully: "Tch, I thought it was good news. Although I am very happy that I don't have to use the honorific title to Viscount Leslie when I see him again in the future, this is just a false title. It doesn’t do me any real good.”
"Do you think...if there are no practical benefits, why would my father and I go out of our way to upgrade you to a first-level title?" Sevigny asked.
"Promoting to a first-level title... Does this have any special significance?" Xu Yi frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of anything and had to give up.
Sevigny smiled and said: "To give you a reminder, according to the relevant regulations of the Parliament of Nobles, if the nobles of the kingdom want to have their own private territory, the lowest title must be viscount."
Xu Yi was startled, then his eyes widened: "No?"
Sevini chuckled and nodded: "Xu Yi, don't faint with joy. Because you have now been promoted to Viscount of the Kingdom and are qualified to own private territory. All proposals by Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, that is, my proposal, will With the consent of His Majesty the King and the study and decision of the Noble Council, the final decision is to grant you a private territory."
