After staring at the messy-looking pile of various steel parts under the oilcloth, with no idea of what they were used for for a long time, the complicated expression on Anklu's face finally returned to calm, and he turned to Hart and nodded. : "Captain Hart, please convey my gratitude to President Xu. I will always remember his great help to me."
Hart said expressionlessly: "The president explained before he left that this is just a very ordinary transaction. Everyone gets what they need."
Angkru was slightly startled, paused, then frowned and pointed at the messy parts under the oilcloth and asked: "But I have a question. Captain Hart, why do these magic trebuchet parts look so small? If assembled, the specifications will be much smaller, right?”
"This is the second-generation magic trebuchet newly developed by our chamber of commerce. Although the size is much smaller than the first-generation magic trebuchet, its ejection power is not weak at all. On the contrary, it has been enhanced, so it is actually more powerful. It is stronger than the first-generation magic trebuchet. And because it is small, it is extremely portable. You see, it only needs a magic freighter to transport it." Hart explained.
"That's it." Anklu took another look at the parts of the magic trebuchet, still having some doubts. "But how do you assemble this thing? None of us know how to do this."
Hart took out a thin pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Ankru.
"Here are the assembly diagrams of the magic trebuchet, as well as the maintenance points for the magic repeating crossbow and those weapons and armor. After you transport these things back, you must study these carefully. Otherwise. If it is because of your own Failure caused by improper operation will not provide follow-up maintenance services.”
Angkru took the pamphlet. But he didn't look through it, but continued to ask: "President Hart, why don't you just provide a technician to help guide us on these things? Wouldn't it be much more convenient?"
Hart shook his head: "The president said that the transaction between us is just a normal transaction. If he sends someone there, he will personally participate in the internal affairs of your Principality of Standing. He feels that Mr. Anklu is afraid that you will also Not willing."
Anklu was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
"President Xu is very thoughtful. But..." Anklu looked at the ten magic freight locomotives. A wry smile full of self-deprecation appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Actually, you are already involved now..."
Hart was silent.
Unkru was lost in thought for a moment, took a breath, and regained his spirits.
"Okay, Captain Hart, I have confirmed receipt of these goods, now let's harvest them."
Hart nodded and took out the cargo list for Anklu to look at. After Anklu confirmed it, he took over an agreement signed by Anklu from Anklu.
The content of this agreement is an agreement for Anklu to transfer an iron mine and a magic crystal mine on his territory to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the agreement, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have the permanent mining rights of this iron ore and magic crystal mine.
in other words. From now on, this iron mine and magic crystal mine will be completely owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and have nothing to do with Ancru and the Principality of Standing.
these two mines. Naturally, it was used by Angkru to pay for the purchase of these weapons and equipment from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Although it was only the cargo of ten magic motorcycles, the total value reached two hundred thousand gold coins.
Among them, the new magic trebuchet alone is worth ten thousand gold coins.
There are a total of 300 sets of magic repeating crossbows on the two magic motorcycles. If combined with the arrow boxes, each set is sold for up to 400 gold coins, and 300 sets are worth 120,000 gold coins.
As for the remaining one thousand sets of weapons and armor, their total value is only 70,000 gold coins.
In fact, the estimated value of these two mines is far more than 200,000 gold coins, or even no less than 300,000 gold coins.
But it is impossible for Anklu to come up with so much cash. Of course, they can only use resources to exchange for what they need from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
If he had a choice, Angkru did not want to sell the resources in his name, because he knew the importance of resources to the future development of the Principality of Standing.
But he had no choice.
Because if you want to achieve your goals, you have to spend money, and you have to spend a lot of money.
Seeing that under the command of Hart, his men were loading all the goods from the ten magic freight locomotives onto the small boat he had brought, Ankru's expression was complicated, his eyes were full of worry, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness. .
"I hope the sacrifice now will bring about good results in the end, otherwise, I might become a sinner of the principality forever."
###
Angkru is full of worries about the uncertain future because of his own choices, but the people of Bangta City are full of joy and excitement because of the bright future, and are welcoming the arrival of the New Year with the greatest enthusiasm.
Another year has passed. Since Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny took over as the city lord of Bangta City in the second half of the year, the entire city of Bangta seems to have regained its vitality and enthusiasm, changing the lifelessness when Earl Stark was the city lord. .
In just half a year, the entire Bangta City not only fully restored its previous prosperity, but also became much more lively than before.
As the magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gradually gained popularity in Bangta City, and has attracted many people in Bangta City into this industry, now everyone in Bangta City can easily I can find a satisfying job quickly, which is enough for me to have enough food and clothing, and I can even enjoy a slightly luxurious life that I couldn't even imagine a few years ago.
For example, if you didn't buy something before due to lack of money or various reasons, you will naturally take this opportunity to make up for it during an important moment like the New Year.
So as the New Year approached, the sales of the household magic machinery department of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce experienced a blowout.
The sales volume in one week alone is enough to equal the sales volume in the previous two months combined.
According to statistics, in the last short week, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's sales of household magic machinery alone reached an astonishing half a million gold coins.
And because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always had high profits. So in this short week. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just on the home magic machinery. The net income exceeded 300,000 gold coins.
If it was three years ago, Xu Yi would have danced with joy and couldn't help himself when he saw such profit statistics.
However, after seeing this number now, Xu Yi found that he didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he tried to find out from this number and the various statistics that followed it whether there were any mistakes or omissions, and whether there were any areas that could be further strengthened. .
No way, it's based on annual statistics. This year's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's total annual profit has even exceeded an astonishing 10 million gold coins. How could Xu Yihui be happy with a mere 3.3 million gold coins
Of course, the more you earn, the more you spend.
This year's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's total annual profit is certainly extremely astonishing, but its various investment expenditures are equally astonishing.
Putting aside the salary of more than three million gold coins paid out throughout the year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to implement the development and expansion strategy in the second half of this year and began to invest in the construction of production bases in many cities. In addition, it has invested heavily in the Black Rice Wasteland and the Principality of Standing. As well as a large amount of investment in Sewell City in the last two months, the total amount invested has exceeded five million gold coins.
Calculated this way, it will be at the end of the year. In fact, the current account balance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only about one million gold coins.
Compared to the current scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this amount of money is actually nothing at all. So much so that when the financial director Sebastian made the year-end summary report, he kept complaining to Xu Yi and kept reminding him that he hoped that he could pay attention to the balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure next year to avoid the chamber of commerce's first deficit.
However, Xu Yi just smiled at his warning and didn't care at all.
The reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce spent so much this year is entirely because of the development and expansion policy he determined.
And when the production bases in various places are basically established next year and officially put into production, these investments will be converted into huge profits.
By that time, the profits of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be much higher than they are now, and it is not surprising that they will even be several times more.
More importantly, the layout of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be basically established. In the future, it will no longer be so susceptible to changes in one city or one place. It can have a way to deal with any situation and will not be targeted by any noble. becomes extremely passive.
"Of course ordinary nobles dare not target you or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now, because my father has clearly stated his attitude through the incident at the last noble meeting. No noble will risk offending his father to do this. matter."
Sevini looked at Xu Yi, who was sitting on the chair opposite, looking leisurely, and shook his head slightly.
"Xu Yi, to be honest, I don't understand why you always look confident on the surface, but in fact you are always full of a sense of crisis? Tell me, why do you want to recruit so many people to join your chamber of commerce's bodyguards? Team? Don’t tell me you’re just here to enrich your chamber of commerce’s security force.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Is it a lot? It's not much, is it just recruiting 500 more people? Compared to the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's escort team of more than 2,000 people, the number of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team is There are still less than a thousand people, so it can’t be considered too much.”
Sevini glared at him: "Don't pretend to be stupid! The elf guards, dwarf guards, and even the newly recruited orc guards you recruited in the Black Rice Wasteland of your chamber of commerce, and by the way, there's also the Standing you recruited in the Principality of Standing. The principal’s guards are not included in the number of your Chamber of Commerce’s escorts. If they were all added up, there would probably be more than 2,000 people, right?”
Xu Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, but did not make any answer.
Seeing his reaction, Sevini was a little angry, patted the table lightly, frowned, rarely raised his voice slightly, and shouted in an angry tone: "Xu Yi, those elves, dwarves and orcs The combat effectiveness of the guards of the clan is much higher than that of ordinary human guards. If we really count the combat effectiveness, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escorts can even be compared with an army of five thousand people. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Seeing Sevini's serious look, Xu Yi sighed and spread his hands: "Your Highness, I don't want to do anything, I just want to protect myself. You just said that no noble dares to target me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but what you said I’m afraid Prince Eric is not among the nobles, right?”
Sevini's eyebrows twitched slightly, sighed softly, and said nothing.
Taking Sevini's reaction into his eyes, Xu Yi smiled slightly and continued: "Okay, Your Highness, let's not discuss this kind of thing that everyone knows well and has no meaning, right? Let's discuss business. Your five thousand What standard weapons and equipment do private guards want to be equipped with?"
