Being rejected by Laimate City naturally ruined the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce team's original plan to rest in Laimate City.
After the entire convoy left the road and entered the only old dirt road connecting the north that could still accommodate magic motorcycles, the driving speed inevitably slowed down.
Before they even left the confines of Laimat City, it was already getting late.
Watching night fall, Xu Yi gave up the idea of finding a village to stay in and ordered the convoy to choose a place to camp in the wild.
Fortunately, Xu Yi attaches great importance to this investment in Sewell City, which is nearly a kilometer away from Bangta City. He has made complete preparations before departure, and naturally takes this kind of accident into account. There are corresponding plans in place.
The freight magic locomotives in the fleet are not all factory construction materials such as magic machine tools destined for Sewell, but also include a series of corresponding daily necessities.
Xu Yi gave an order, and the staff of the team's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce worked together to move down a series of emergency living supplies such as emergency tents and quilts, and soon set up a small camp in the open space next to the road.
In addition to these basic living necessities, the convoy even brought a few household magic machines.
In conjunction with the magic crystals that had been prepared long ago, several magic stoves soon lit up fires in the camp. After a while, the aroma of food wafted through the entire camp.
The dwarves even = long = wind = literature = www = cfwx = net took out a large bowl of wine from the freight magic locomotive and poured a large bowl of wine for everyone in the convoy.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of food made the whole camp seem to be full of life. It didn't look like a convoy carrying out long-distance transportation. It's more like a team that comes out specifically for camping trips.
Xu Yi glanced at him with an embarrassed expression on his face. But he still hugged Canby tightly, who came over with a wine barrel that was thicker than his waist. He snorted softly: "Cambi, I remember telling you that you are not allowed to drink while working, right? Why did you secretly bring wine here this time?"
Canby smiled awkwardly: "President, isn't it already time to get off work in the evening... Don't worry, I can guarantee that none of us drank a drop of wine during the day, and we definitely didn't delay business!"
Xu Yi snorted, but still raised the bowl next to him.
Canby was overjoyed. He raised the wine barrel and poured it towards the bowl in Xu Yi's hand.
It can be seen that he is extremely skilled in this action. Holding such a large wine barrel, he is able to perfectly fill the bowl in Xu Yi's hand with the wine in the barrel without splashing, without any waste at all.
Xu Yi leaned over and took a sniff. He felt the aroma of the wine was so fragrant that he couldn't help but praise it.
“Good wine!”
Canby laughed loudly: "How's it going? President, isn't this wine good?"
"Yeah, it smells good, but I don't know how it tastes."
Xu Yi picked up the bowl and took a sip. I just feel that this wine is soft in my mouth, but it has a mellow taste. Holding it in your mouth seems to melt half of your entire mouth.
After drinking it, I only feel a heat wave rushing from my throat straight into my stomach, but it doesn't feel spicy at all. It just makes me feel hot all over in an instant, just to expel all the coldness from the outside world.
Although Xu Yi was not a big drinker, he still felt that the wine tasted good and couldn't help but take another sip.
Feeling that his body was warmed up by the strength of the wine, Xu Yi nodded approvingly: "Very good, this wine tastes good and can keep out the cold. It's quite suitable for this situation."
Seeing that Xu Yi finally agreed, the smile on Canby's face instantly became extremely bright, and he laughed loudly and said: "I knew you would like it, President."
Xu Yi took another sip, thought for a while and asked: "This wine doesn't seem to be produced by Sachi Manor. Could it be brewed by your winery?"
"Yes, this is the first batch of wine successfully brewed by our dwarf winery. President, how do you think it compares with the wine from Sage Manor?" Camby asked with a proud look on his face.
Xu Yi gave him a thumbs up: "It's very good. It's not bad at all compared to the wine from Saatchi Manor. By the way, your dwarf winery has been in preparation for such a long time. When will it be officially launched?" For mass production and sale? I remember that all the brewing equipment was ready two months ago, right?”
"The clan leader and Monto clan leader said that they would launch it during the Chinese New Year, just in time to gain fame, so they postponed the time a little." Canby replied.
"That's it..." Xu Yi glanced at the pure color and fragrant wine in the bowl in his hand, then looked at the thick wine barrel Canby placed next to him, and frowned: "I said, don't you plan to just do this? For sale?"
Camby was stunned: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that Canby had been working for him for a long time, but he still hadn't learned any business acumen.
"Don't you know how to package it?" Xu Yi pointed at the huge wine barrel and said, "Do you just plan to sell it in such a big barrel?"
Canby scratched his head and looked puzzled: "What's the problem with this? Isn't that how they are sold..."
Xu Yi thought that when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce ordered wine from the Saatchi Manor before, he got a large bucket of wine, and he was instantly relieved.
The advertising packaging of fine wines on Sainz Continent is still in the most primitive stage of word-of-mouth communication, and it is still far from the various packaging and promotion methods on the earth. It is no wonder that neither Chief Shirui nor Chief Monto thought of this. a little.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi waved to Canby and motioned him to sit down, preparing to explain to him in detail the various ways of packaging wine.
When we were just talking about filling fine wines in smaller exquisite wine bottles to serve different types of guests, Hart, the captain of the caravan guard, found Xu Yi.
"Mr. President, do you think the defense arrangements for tonight should be strengthened?"
Xu Yi was slightly startled, then turned his head and glanced at the surrounding woods and wilderness that fell into darkness and silence after nightfall, thought for a moment, and nodded lightly.
"After all, it's the wilderness, so it's good to pay more attention. You can arrange what to do specifically. I won't get involved."
Saw Hart take the order and leave. Canby snorted coldly and said: "This city lord of Laimat City is really inexplicable. He insists on blocking us out of the city and not letting us in. Doesn't he know that many of our cities are desperately inviting our chamber of commerce to invest? ? He is not afraid of offending us and we will never come again? "
Xu Yi shook his head, thinking that this involved a political struggle in the human kingdom, so it would be better not to tell Canby about it.
"Everyone's position is different, and there's nothing to blame." Xu Yi responded casually, and suddenly thought of a question. "Speaking of which, Camby. There are a lot of you dwarves on the Sainz continent, right? Are they just divided into tribes and live separately, without close connections with each other like us humans? There is nothing between each other. Fight?"
"Of course that's impossible. Although we dwarves are not as scheming as you humans, we always have different opinions. But now that you humans are too powerful on this continent, it is difficult for us dwarves to just take care of our own lives. There’s no time left to engage in internal fighting.”
"That's true..." Xu Yi nodded, thinking that if the living environment of the dwarves improved comprehensively, would there be internal divisions like humans
Thinking about the elves who are now smaller in number and pay more attention to self-cultivation, if they were like humans, a small country would be divided into several factions and fight with each other...
That was really a scene that Xu Yi could not imagine.
After instilling some basic knowledge of wine packaging promotion into Canby. Then the two had some preliminary discussions about the magic motorcycle shock absorption system, and the night became darker.
Because we are camping in the wild. Naturally, there were no entertainment activities, and they had to get up early tomorrow morning to start their journey, so not long after dinner, the people in the convoy fell asleep soundly in the camp surrounded by magic motorcycles.
As the president, Xu Yi naturally has the privilege to occupy a tent by himself, but perhaps because it was his first time camping in this situation, or perhaps because of the cold, Xu Yi couldn't sleep at all after lying down for a while. He was sitting there, tossing and turning on the quilt, thinking about what happened today when he was blocked by Laimat City.
Being shut out of Laimat City was not an unacceptable thing for Xu Yi, but the meaning behind this matter made him pay attention to it.
Previously, although Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce supported His Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was affected to a certain extent when conducting business activities in some places in the kingdom that supported His Royal Highness Prince Eric, but overall it was not too big. Big obstacle.
But this time, Laimart City simply stopped the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's convoy outside the city, and did not even let the convoy see the city gate. This undoubtedly meant that Laimart City had clearly stated its attitude.
What Xu Yi is worried about now is whether Laimat City made its own decision on this matter, or whether it was done under the instruction of His Royal Highness Prince Eric.
If it is the former, then at most it will be giving up the city of Laimat, and the impact will not be big.
But if it's the latter, the situation is a bit worrying.
As far as the current internal situation of the Lampali Kingdom is concerned, the party supporting His Royal Highness Prince Eric still has an absolute advantage.
Because the parties supporting His Royal Highness Prince Eric are all conservatives in the kingdom, they all have deep-rooted spheres of influence and influence in the kingdom, and their scope of influence is much larger than that of Princess Sevigny.
If His Royal Highness Prince Eric makes it clear that he wants to compete with His Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and takes tough measures against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then there will be at least more than one-third, maybe close to half, of the cities in the entire kingdom like Lai Mart City also took such tough measures to deny the entry of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If such a thing really happens, it will be a heavy blow to Xu Yi's plan to develop the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the entire Kingdom of Lampali and make the magic industry cover the entire Kingdom of Lampali.
Although Xu Yi has always supported Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, he only admires Her Highness Princess Sevigny's ability to accept new things like the magic industry and her attitude of truly considering the ordinary people in the kingdom. In fact, this is not considered to be reckless. Support her.
In Xu Yi's view, compared to promoting the development of the entire magic industry system, fighting for the throne is simply a trivial matter, so he has never had much ill feelings toward Prince Eric, and even thought about having the opportunity. If so, we will also cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Eric.
But now the facts tell Xu Yi a truth, that is, it is difficult for business to completely escape political influence, and the top political struggle for the entire kingdom, such as the fight for the throne, is actually far more direct than he imagined, and it is impossible to come by. Compromise.
His Royal Highness Prince Eric, or the approach taken by those who support him, is already forcing Xu Yi to make a choice.
Should we continue to maintain a semi-neutral attitude, or should we clearly support Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny
Thinking that one day he would be forced to face such a choice, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
The face of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, who always had a gentle and friendly smile, appeared in his mind. Although Xu Yi hesitated in his heart, the balance still involuntarily tipped towards Her Majesty Princess Sevigny.
At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the ground.
A moment later, a shrill scream resounded through the wilderness and was clearly transmitted into the tent.
