"President, why didn't you agree to this agreement?" Kennard watched the carriage carrying Wilson disappear at the far end of the road, and turned to Xu Yi and asked. ?. .
Xu Yi smiled and asked: "Are you asking this question from the standpoint of the heir to the Emma family, or from the standpoint of the CEO of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Kennard was slightly startled, silent for a while, and replied seriously: "No matter which position you stand on, I think this agreement is very worth signing. If you look at it from the perspective of the Emma family, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce The cooperation will allow the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce to earn a lot of profits, and it can also open up foreign markets with novel and easy-to-use magic machines, which is of course very beneficial. "
"So what do you think from the perspective of the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked.
"From the perspective of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this agreement is also very beneficial to us. Sooner or later, our chamber of commerce will transfer its goals abroad. Instead of groping for it on our own, we might as well cooperate with the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce to save money. "Removing a lot of troubles and obstacles will be very helpful to the development of our chamber of commerce," Kennard replied.
"I must say that your idea is very correct. But... I don't want the development of our chamber of commerce to be controlled by others, do you understand?" Xu Yidao. After all, he is still a member of the Emma family. Is he telling this reason to make himself understand? Or do you want the Walmart Chamber of Commerce to understand
However, Xu Yi always maintained a gentle smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
Kennard couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The longer he worked at Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and spent time with Xu Yi, the more he found that he could not understand Xu Yi more and more.
"But you don't have to worry so much. Although I didn't agree to sign this agreement, I didn't completely oppose it, right?" Seeing the look on Kennard's face, Xu Yi smiled. "At least I still hope to continue to expand cooperation with the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce. For example, the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce proposed to sell various magic machines produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to more countries and regions. I very much appreciate it."
Kennard thought for a while and decided to give up asking Xu Yi's real thoughts, and said in deep thought: "But President, you promised to sell 500 magic freight motorcycles to the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce. This may be a bit difficult. We are currently even with Philson The orders from the Car and Horse Shop have not yet been fully completed, and we have previously promised to many chambers of commerce that we would provide them with magic motorcycles after completing the magic motorcycle orders from Filson Car and Horse Shop. How can we come up with so many products? "Even if there is an automatic magic machine tool, I still think this is a big trouble." Kennard frowned.
Xu Yi laughed: "This trouble will be left to you as the CEO. This is your responsibility."
Kennard smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. President, you are really good at pushing trouble onto me."
Xu Yi snorted coldly: "Don't forget, I still need to deal with a bigger trouble, and this trouble has a deeper relationship with you."
Kennard could only smile bitterly again: "President, I hope you can take more care of Sophia while she is here."
Xu Yi sighed helplessly, wondering if he wanted to be a nanny

The leaves in Bangta City are falling again. But it’s late autumn again.
It is different from the slightly bleak situation at this time last year. This year, due to the replacement of Sevini as the city owner, the business environment of Bangta City has been greatly improved. The whole city seemed to be filled with life again.
Although the autumn wind has brought a bit of coolness, the streets and alleys are still filled with bustling people, making the whole city lively.
Sevini glanced at the prosperous market and the busy but extremely fulfilling people from a distance through the window of the city lord's palace. A smile of joy from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face involuntarily, and he sighed softly: "If we all It would be great if the Lampali Kingdom could become so prosperous everywhere.”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I believe your expectations will definitely come true." A middle-aged man standing behind Sevini with hands in his hands responded with a smile.
"Really?" Sevini turned around, glanced at the middle-aged man, and sat back on the chair that belonged to her. However, she did not signal the middle-aged man to sit down opposite her like she usually did when receiving Xu Yi. With a hint of majesty, Zhonghang said to the middle-aged man: "Nori, of course my father sent you here to check on my management of Bangta City. What do you think after seeing it now?"
The middle-aged man known as Nori lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully: "From what I have seen, the prosperity of Bangta City is almost comparable to that of Anvilmar City, and even the measures in many places are better." It’s even more complete and advanced than Anvilmar City. For example, the magic street lights alone are unmatched by Anvilmar City.”
Sevini smiled slightly: "If you knew that laying magic street lights throughout Bangta City cost Bangta City treasury 200,000 gold coins, maybe you wouldn't praise it so much."
Nori grinned and said with a smile: "This actually proves that Bangta City's financial situation is very good, so it can afford to spend a full two hundred thousand gold coins just to lay magic street lights. Your Royal Highness, Bangta City The city's financial situation is so good, and it naturally has a lot to do with your governance. "
"Thank you for your compliment. But since I became the city lord, I haven't actually done much. The reason why Bangta City is in such a good financial situation is entirely due to the activity of the major chambers of commerce in the city. Let me tell you some data, According to financial statistics last month, the commercial taxes paid by major chambers of commerce in Bangta City alone exceeded 500,000 gold coins."
Nori raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a look of shock.
"That's half a million gold coins a month? Then in a year, wouldn't it be at least more than five million gold coins?"
There was a trace of complacency in Sevigny's smile, but he still shook his head reservedly and said: "It's not entirely possible to calculate it this way. Commercial taxes are not very fixed. The reason why we were able to collect so much commercial taxes last month is because of the increase in taxes." Many chambers of commerce in Moon City have completed several very large orders, which has resulted in a considerable increase in the commercial tax they paid."
Nori nodded, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, may I ask how much business tax the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce paid?"
Sevini looked like he had expected you to ask, and chuckled: "Less than two hundred thousand gold coins."
"Isn't this right?" Nori frowned. "Judging from the data I know, the business tax paid by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the month before this was more than 200,000 gold coins. Why did it decrease last month when other chambers of commerce increased?"
"Nori, it seems that my father has not explained everything to you. Let me remind you that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce with free trade rights specially approved by the Kingdom Parliament."
Nori was stunned for a moment and understood instantly.
"So... the main business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last month was transactions with other countries?"
"That's right." Sevini nodded. "In fact, most of the local business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City is currently on a downward trend, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is moving many factories out of Bangta City and investing in other cities. Last month, the biggest event of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was This transaction was the sale of 3,000 magic machine tools to the Luersun Kingdom. As for the other transactions, most of them were trade with other cities in the kingdom. According to the regulations of the kingdom, the proceeds from these trades belong to Bangta City. But only a small portion of commercial tax can be levied.”…
Nori frowned: "Why are you moving out? Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce planning to abandon Bangta City? Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the most important chamber of commerce in Bangta City and the largest contributor to Bangta City's financial revenue. Important source, I suggest you immediately restrict this behavior of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to prevent Bangta City from losing this most important financial source. "
"Nori, you are too short-sighted." Sevini shook his head slowly. "I am not opposed to the approach of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, I fully support it. Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has indeed brought huge changes to Bangta City, this small city has now almost become the most prosperous city in the entire kingdom. But Xu Yi said That’s right, changing only Bangta City will have limited help to the entire Lampali Kingdom. Only by changing all the cities in the entire kingdom can the Lampali Kingdom become truly powerful.”
"Is this what President Xu said himself?" Nori said in surprise.
"Of course." Sevigny nodded affirmatively. "Xu Yi's goals and ideals are definitely much greater than you think. So... don't measure him by ordinary people's standards."
Hearing Sevigny's comment, Nori seemed very surprised. He looked at Sevigny in surprise for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will truthfully convey these words to His Majesty the King."
"I believe in your loyalty to my father." Sevini nodded. "So Nori, can you tell me what my dear brother has been doing these past few months?"
The expression on Nori's face became a little weird and a little awkward. He hesitated for a while and then answered with a wry smile: "When I left Luolun City, His Royal Highness was reorganizing the Zhenbei Army in Luolun City. "
"Reorganize the army?" Sevini frowned deeply: "What does he want to do?"
Nori was silent for a long time, then sighed softly and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince said that he is a man, so he naturally has to use a man's way to reflect his own value. And the place that best reflects a man's value is the battlefield. ”
Hearing this answer, Sevigny's frown deepened. )
