In order to welcome the arrival of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s motorcade, Earl Satsuma specially held a grand welcome ceremony at the main palace of Sewell City that night. Not only did he invite everyone in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s motorcade, he also invited almost everyone with dignity and respect in Sewell City. The characters include almost all the nobles and businessmen in the city, and even some officers of the Sewell City Guards.
Xu Yi originally did not want Earl Satsuma to hold such a welcome ceremony as it was too troublesome, but he also knew very well that this was a necessary means for Earl Satsuma to quickly integrate the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into Sewell City, so naturally he could not refuse.
No matter how much Xu Yi didn't like attending banquets and dealing with such scenes, in order to live up to Earl Satsuma's hard work, and because he was the well-deserved protagonist of the banquet, Xu Yi had to cheer up and interact with everyone at the banquet. Have cordial conversations with all visitors, and even need to write down the name, identity, background and other information of each visitor.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to develop vigorously in Sewell City. Even if it has the strong support of the city lord, Earl Satsuma, it still needs to work closely with other people in the city.
After finally dealing with another group of guests, Xu Yi had made preliminary contact with all the guests at the banquet and finally got a chance to breathe.
Just as he raised his glass and took a sip, Princess Caroline suddenly appeared.
"President Xu, are you tired?"
Seeing Princess Carolyn's energetic appearance, Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "Aren't you tired? Your Highness, I think you are more popular than me."
"What? Are you jealous?" Princess Caroline smiled and raised her glass. He touched Xu Yi lightly, took a sip, and suddenly sighed softly, turning his head to look around the banquet venue. He said faintly: "Although I am very popular, the vast majority of people who come to me are men. They are only interested in my body, not in your strength like you, President Xu."
"The body is also a part of strength. I hope they will also be interested in my body. At least this will make me more confident in my handsomeness, right?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
Princess Caroline chuckled. He cast a wink at Xu Yi and chuckled: "President Xu. In fact, you are already very handsome. And I am interested in your body."
As she spoke, Princess Carolyn got closer to Xu Yi, stood up gently on her tiptoes, and her face almost touched Xu Yi's face. He breathed out gently, and the aroma mixed with the smell of wine hit Xu Yi's cheek, and he said very charmingly: "I told you when I left Bangta City last time, President Xu, I will stay in Sewell City The bed has been made in advance, waiting for your arrival. Now my bed is ready, are you interested in spending the night with me tonight? "
"Your Highness, you are drunk." Xu Yi took half a step back and turned his face slightly. Avoid looking at Princess Caroline.
The drunken Princess Carolyn looked extremely charming, and her lethality was too great. He couldn't guarantee that he would continue to be seduced like this. Can you still hold on
Princess Carolyn smiled, but no longer approached. Instead, she rolled her eyes and quickly changed the subject: "President Xu, I'm still thinking about the reinforced concrete city wall you talked about during the day. I want to Let me ask, if our principality can produce steel bars and cement ourselves, will this cost be saved a lot? "
Xu Yi shook his head: "I don't suggest you do this, at least not now. The reason why the reinforced concrete structure is strong. In addition to the structure itself, the most important thing is the quality of the steel bars and concrete used in it. Concrete is just that. , but the quality of the steel bars is not satisfactory with the current technology of the Duke of Drake. If you want to solve the material problem on your own, the consequences may be serious. "
A wry smile flashed across Princess Carolyn's face: "Although I really want to say that you are lying to me because of your businessman's position, but I know very well that President Xu, you are not such a person. I want... let It is impossible for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to directly transfer steel-making and concrete manufacturing technology. So when will your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be willing to directly invest and build factories in our Principality of Drake? At least we can save money if we produce locally in our Principality? A lot of basic material costs, right?”
"I think you should know very well that this decision is not made by me, but by the Sak Kingdom." Xu Yidao.
Princess Caroline frowned slightly, sipping her wine and thinking seriously.
I have to say that Princess Carolyn, who always puts on a seductive look towards Xu Yi, is indeed very attractive, but for Xu Yi, he prefers to see Princess Carolyn thinking seriously like this.
For him, what arouses his favor and attracts him the most is the kind of woman who can have her own thoughts and opinions.
Steele was able to impress him in the first place and finally chose to combine with Steele because Steele was very outstanding in this aspect.
After thinking for a while, Princess Carolyn put down her wine glass and put a smile on her face again.
"Well, it seems that our cooperation can only be done step by step. There is no need to rush. President Xu, I am making a small request to you now. Can you satisfy me?" Princess Carolyn asked.
"As long as you don't invite me to spend the night with you, we can discuss it." Xu Yidao.
Princess Caroline was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but laugh.
"President Xu, am I just a womanizer in your eyes? Don't worry, I won't eat you." Princess Carolyn rolled her eyes at Xu Yi rather resentfully, then straightened her face, He said seriously: "My request is that when your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce builds a production base in Sewell City, I hope to be able to visit the whole process."
Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but you must avoid some confidential things."
"Of course." With Xu Yi's agreement, Princess Carolyn looked extremely happy and extended her hand to Xu Yi: "President Xu, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Xu Yi also stretched out his hand and held it gently with her.
Just felt soft and smooth in my hands. Princess Carolyn suddenly exerted force in her hand, causing Xu Yi to tilt towards her involuntarily, and then Princess Carolyn stood up on tiptoes. Fragrant lips kissed Xu Yi's face like lightning.
"President Xu, I won't close the door tonight, I'm waiting for you."
Seeing Princess Caroline leaving with a burst of fragrance and laughter, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and touched his face. He turned his head and looked left and right, only to find that many people around him were staring at him in surprise.
Xu Yi felt a little strange.
With Princess Carolyn's public image as a courtesan, she should never show her inclinations so openly in such a public place.
There's no way she could really fall in love with herself, right
Xu Yi shook his head. Throw the whole idea out.
When he turned his head, he found Earl Satsuma waving to him not far away. He walked over quickly.
"Come, Xu Yi, let me introduce you. This is the leading general of our Sewell City Guards, Maral. You may need to cooperate in many places in the future. Let's get to know each other first." Earl Satsuma pointed out Looking at a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a rough face next to him, he said to Xu Yidao.
Xu Yi quickly extended his hand to Maral: "Hello, General Maral, our Chamber of Commerce will need more care from you and the city guard brothers in Sewell City in the future."
Maral laughed heartily and said: "President Xu, you are too polite. The city lord mentioned you to me a long time ago and said that after your new flying chamber of commerce arrives, our city guards must cooperate with your new business guild." The work of the Flying Chamber of Commerce allows your Chamber of Commerce to produce with peace of mind in our Sewell City. Don’t worry, I can guarantee that you will never be disturbed in any way in Sewell City.”
"Then thank you General Maral for taking care of me."
"Xu Yi, if you want someone to take care of you, you have to give me some benefits." Earl Satsuma suddenly smiled. "If there is no benefit at all, if you want Maral to do his best, how is that possible?"
Xu Yi was startled. But he found that Maral also had a smile on his face, and he suddenly understood and laughed: "Of course, the city lord taught you the right lesson. So, General Maral, what benefits do you and the brothers of the city guard want? Woolen cloth?"
Maral laughed and patted Xu Yi hard on the shoulder.
"Okay. I like a straightforward person like President Xu. Brothers will not ask for any excessive benefits. Didn't your Chamber of Commerce provide a set of armor and weapons to each of the Zhenbei Army before? It will also be given to each of our City Guards brothers. It would be nice to have a set too.”
Xu Yi blinked and asked Maral: "May I ask General Maral, how many brothers are there in the city guard?"
"Not much, just over eight thousand." Maral replied nonchalantly.
"Eight thousand?" Xu Yi gasped and couldn't help shaking his head.
The price of a complete set of armor and weapons provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Zhenbei Army is as high as fifty gold coins. If there are eight thousand sets, that is a full set of four hundred thousand gold coins!
Although Xu Yi couldn't afford to give it away, and if the cost was calculated, it would be about 200,000 gold coins, but Xu Yi still felt a little painful after giving away so much in one go.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what are you thinking about? I'm not letting you give it away for free, just to scare you." Earl Satsuma smiled and scolded: "I just hope you can sell it to our Sewell City Guards at the cost price. Just eight thousand sets of fine steel weapons and armor.”
Xu Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Since it is your request, Lord City Lord, it's easy to say. Eight thousand sets would be too much to show my sincerity. Ten thousand sets! General Maral, are you satisfied?" "
"Satisfied! Satisfied! Of course satisfied!" Maral laughed and nodded repeatedly, and patted Xu Yi's shoulder hard. "President Xu, if your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs our city guards for anything in the future, just come to me and I promise to do my best to help you!"
Looking at the back of Maral turning away, Xu Yi rubbed his sore shoulders from being patted by Maral, frowned and asked Earl Satsuma: "Your Majesty, please change the uniforms of the city guards under your rule privately." , won’t there be any problem?”
Earl Satsuma smiled slightly and shook his head: "Although there will be some problems, it's not a big problem. And it's not just about changing the uniforms of the city guards. I also want to build an arsenal in Sewell City. Xu Yi, you are a new pilot. Can the Chamber of Commerce complete it?”
"Build an arsenal?" Xu Yi looked at Earl Satsuma in shock. "My lord, do you want to rebel?" (To be continued)
