After a while, Xu Yi sighed softly. ＋＋＋
"What? Are you making trouble again?"
At the beginning of last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Amuli Chamber of Commerce, the Armani Chamber of Commerce and the Recton Chamber of Commerce to jointly invest in the construction of a production base in the Black Rice Wasteland.
At first, everything went smoothly in this production base. It hired many orc workers in the Black Rice Wasteland, which reduced the cost of hiring workers and allowed the four chambers of commerce to taste a lot of benefits.
However, in the second half of the year, the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland began to harass the production base repeatedly, causing production in the base to be often forced to stop, resulting in extremely serious losses.
And it wasn't just the orcs from other tribes who came to make trouble. Even the orc workers in the factory also made trouble many times. On one occasion, they even had a head-on conflict with the human workers in the base, almost killing someone.
Due to the repeated occurrence of such accidents, it was very difficult to maintain this production base. As a result, at the end of the year, the four chambers of commerce all lost money in this production base.
Although no chamber of commerce has thought of quitting because of this small loss, if this situation continues, the production base will eventually be unable to sustain itself.
"That's right." President Cruz spread his hands helplessly. "I really don't understand what those orcs are thinking in their minds? We are obviously working together to make money. You are good and I am good and everyone is good. However, these guys insist on making trouble when nothing happens, forcing us to stop production. Not only did we suffer losses, but they themselves didn’t suffer any losses?”
Xu Yi rubbed his head and sighed: "There is no way. The orcs are so brainless. Moreover, they are rebellious by nature. Even if they are not convinced by the management of us humans, there is nothing anyone can do."
"It would be wrong to say that there is no way." President Cruz shook his head. "In the past, when the elves were still ruling this continent, all the orcs were like kittens, but no orcs had ever dared to make trouble, let alone resist the rule of the elves. The last and first one The ones who stand up to overthrow the elves are us humans, who are usually looked down upon by the orcs and considered too cowardly.”
"Oh? Do the elves have any special method to make these orcs honest?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"There is no special method. It's very simple, just fight." President Cruz replied with a look of disdain. "Let me tell you, the orcs are a typical bully and shy of the strong. If you are tougher with him and beat him until he has to submit, then he will be obedient to you and not dare to resist. But if you are not tough enough with him, Then he will think you are incompetent and will humiliate you in every way."
"Why does this look so much like a certain race on earth?" Xu Yi felt a little funny. "And what's your opinion?"
"My opinion... To be honest, it's the opinion shared by President Vincent, President Leersa and I, that is, I think President Xu, you are not tough enough. This makes the orcs think that our family The Chamber of Commerce is too weak," Elder Cruz said honestly.
"You just said I'm too weak." Xu Yi glared at him. "Okay then. What do you think... what does it mean to not be weak, or to be tough? Are you going to kill all the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland? The problem is that we are here to make money. We are not here to commit massacres. ”
"It's not that exaggerated." President Cruise waved his hand repeatedly. "The three of us want to strengthen our protection force there. It is best not only to protect the safety of the production base, but also to have the ability to leave the production base and show our strength to the orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland. , so that they will be afraid and will not dare to harass you in the future.”
"So? How do you plan to strengthen your strength? Don't forget, manpower, especially qualified guards, is hard to find. Our Chamber of Commerce has spent so much effort, and so far the total number of guards of the Chamber of Commerce has not exceeded one thousand. "Xu Yidao.
"Do you have the ability to include the elves and dwarves in your escort?" President Cruise glared at Xu Yi and then waved his hand. "But that's not what I mean. It is indeed not easy to increase the number of qualified guards, but if you want to increase the strength of the guards, it is not just about increasing the number of guards, right? For example... equip them with better weapons and equipment?"
Seeing President Cruise with a raised brow and a meaningful smile on his face, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel happy.
"Okay, Cruise, you've spared a lot of trouble. Ultimately, you just want to buy some military magic machinery from me for your chamber of commerce's escort team."
"That's right." Now that Xu Yi had made it clear, President Cruise stopped being secretive. "This is my idea. Since your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has such useful military magic machines and such powerful weapons and equipment, then equip the escort teams of several of our chambers of commerce to ensure that the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, so why do you need to worry? The harassment from those orcs."
"The idea is very good, but there is a problem." Xu Yi sighed. "Ordinary weapons and armor are just that. Various standard military magic machines are controlled by the Royal Ministry. Ordinary Chamber of Commerce guards are not allowed to be equipped."
President Cruise glared: "Then how come your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has a guard team?"
"Because they are not only the escort of our chamber of commerce, they are also nominally the personal guard of me, the viscount. What? Are any of the presidents of your three chambers of commerce a noble?"
President Cruz rolled his eyes: "You guy... You are the only one in the entire Lampali Kingdom who has the dual identity of a noble and a businessman. Why do you ask questions knowingly?"
"So, even if I want to do this, I have no choice, right?" Xu Yi spread his hands.
"No, of course there is a way." President Cruise suddenly showed a sly smile, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took it and took a look, only to find that it was a standard aristocratic business order.
The person who issued the order was Baron Kiritsugu, a minor nobleman in Bonta City, and the content of the order was that Baron Kiritsugu said that he wanted to take a trip to the Black Rice Wasteland, but he was worried that the orcs in the Black Rice Wasteland would attack him. cause some damages. Therefore, it was decided to equip himself with no more than 300 private guards stipulated by the Noble Council.
And in order for these three hundred private guards to better protect his life safety. He hopes to try his best to improve their combat effectiveness. Therefore, an order was submitted to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce for a three-hundred-percent magic repeating crossbow and three portable magic trebuchets.
After reading the order, Xu Yi stared at the noble seal of Baron Kiritsugu at the bottom of the order for a while, then raised his head and looked at President Cruise with a strange look on his face.
"Thank you for coming up with this idea, but are you sure this won't attract the attention of the Kingdom Council and impose restrictions or even punishment on you?"
President Cruz smiled slightly: "What is there to worry about? The chamber of commerce that does this is not ours. How do you think the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's escort team of more than 2,000 people came from?"
Xu Yi thought for a while and nodded. His eyes fell back on the mentioned order, as if he saw a door slowly opening towards him.

As soon as the New Year phase is over, winter seems to have passed in a blink of an eye.
With the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers, Bangta City is becoming more and more lively day by day due to the continuous influx of people.
The overall urban renovation project of Bangta City started again from the day the spring breeze came, and it never stopped for a day.
The entire Bangta City seemed to have turned into a huge construction site, with various buildings being built everywhere.
Almost every day, the city of Bonta is changing.
In the new urban area outside the city, the highway extends outward little by little, and now not only connects every village outside the city. It is also connected in all directions, allowing people to take the gradually developed and improved public transportation magic motorcycle from anywhere in the city. Can easily reach any place.
In the new city, not only a large number of various factories were built, but also many various buildings that people in Bangta City had never seen before, or even heard of.
For example, a nursing home next to the hospital was built with donations from the Armani Chamber of Commerce.
In this nursing home, as long as the elderly are over 60 years old, they can receive a set of clothing corresponding to the season for free, as well as bedding and other daily necessities.
And if you are an elderly person who has no one to support you and has lost your ability to live, you can move directly to this nursing home, and someone will naturally arrange your life for you so that you can have no worries about food and clothing.
In addition to the nursing home, there is also an aid station not far away that is said to have been built by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
The role of this aid station is to help everyone who encounters difficulties. Anyone who really encounters difficulties can seek help here.
The rescue station can not only provide basic food and accommodation arrangements, but also provide the person who encounters difficulties with the opportunity to introduce him to a job according to his own choice, or send him to his relatives and friends.
And not far from the rescue station, there is a very large vocational skills training academy built by the City Lord's Mansion with the joint sponsorship of major chambers of commerce in the city.
There is no tuition fee, and anyone can choose a vocational skill and receive training.
The price you need to pay is that after receiving the training, if you succeed, you must choose to work in a Bangta City Chamber of Commerce that requires this type of work within the next three years at least.
Once you violate this, you will be blacklisted by all chambers of commerce in Bangta City, ensuring that you will not be able to find any job in Bangta City in the future.
Among these various newly built novel buildings, people found that various chambers of commerce in Bangta City were involved, but the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was not seen.
So everyone felt very curious.
Hasn’t the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce always been very enthusiastic about what Chairman Xu calls “public welfare matters”? Why are there no Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in these things that are obviously public welfare
Perhaps in response to everyone’s questions, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also announced a piece of information at this year’s spring Xinfei Cycling Road Race.
A week later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will hold a product launch conference that has not been held for a long time.
The person hosting this product launch conference was actually Xu Yi himself. (To be continued...)
