As soon as Lord Kamadu left Falling Star Manor in his private carriage, Sevini walked out of a hut closest to the garden in the manor.
Arriving next to Xu Yi, looking at the carriage running on the road in the distance from the manor for a while, Sevini frowned slightly and let out a sigh.
"He is still riding a carriage. How can people believe that he sincerely supports the development of the magic industry and your New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi glanced at Sevini in surprise.
"The angle of your attention is really strange... But in fact, everyone in Bangta City, including me, has long been aware of this. Although the Lord of the City has a supportive attitude on the surface, he is What happened is obviously targeting the entire magic industry, or to be more precise, it is targeting our New Flying Chamber of Commerce.”
Sevini thought for a moment and then asked: "He just said that he hopes that your Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom Magic Research Institute will cooperate. What is the specific method of cooperation?"
Xu Yi sneered: "The city lord came to make a request to me on behalf of His Majesty King Eric. There are a lot of conditions and a lot of conveniences for our chamber of commerce, but it can be summed up in one sentence, asking our chamber of commerce to request the Kingdom of Magic The institute is fully open to all related technologies of magic machines. "Full open?" Sevini's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother, is he... is he crazy?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I don't know about that. But during this period, the Lord of Kamadu came to me many times about this matter, and his tone became more severe every time. You heard what I just said, the Lord of the City actually It's already threatening me. If I still choose to disobey... Your Highness, what do you think will be the fate that awaits me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Sevini was silent for a while, and his expression gradually became serious.
"No! I can't let my eldest brother do this! Not only is he breaking the basic rules of the kingdom, it will also seriously damage your chamber of commerce's confidence in the kingdom, and it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the royal family. I must have a good relationship with my eldest brother. Let’s discuss this issue and we must not let him continue to make such mistakes!”
Xu Yi glanced at Sevigny, who had a rare hint of anger on his face. Shake his head slightly.
"No, Sevini, you'd better not do this. The moment you announced that you completely gave up the fight for the throne, you have lost this qualification. If you want to do this, it will inevitably arouse the anger of His Majesty King Eric. Suspicion, this will not do you any good. "What should I do? Are you going to be forced to accept it?" Sevini frowned and stared at Xu Yi. Suddenly he shook his head vigorously. "No, Xu Yi, I understand you. You are not the kind of person who surrenders easily. That's why you chose to gradually relocate the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and your family to the Principality of Standing. You want to give up the Kingdom of Lampali. wrong?"
Xu Yi smiled. Neither admit it nor deny it.
"Then, Your Royal Highness...now that you know this, do you plan to continue to persuade me?"
Sevigny fell silent again.
After a while, she smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly.
"I don't know... let me try. If the eldest brother can listen to my advice and correct his mistakes, there is still hope, isn't there?"
Xu Yi sighed in his heart and was too lazy to persuade Sevini.
Although Sevigny was born into a royal family, he has always had a very innocent temperament in Xu Yi's opinion.
If only Eric could just listen to her advice and correct his mistakes. Then why are so many things happening now
In fact, in the final analysis, many measures may not be King Eric's original intention, in Xu Yi's opinion. He is nothing more than a poor puppet controlled by a group of nobles in the kingdom.
After personally overhearing the conversation between Lord Kamadu and Xu Yi, and witnessing that the actual situation in Bangta City was far from as beautiful as it seemed on the surface, Sevini's good mood when he first arrived here was gone.
She lost interest in continuing to play in Bangta City. After a hasty lunch, she drove the silver-white car that Xu Yi had given her again after resigning from Bangta City. The magic car, which did not look particularly outstanding in appearance, drove directly away from Bangta City.
Judging from the direction she left. She probably still didn't want to give up, and actually went straight to Anvilmar City.
Xu Yi can be 100% sure. Her meeting with King Eric this time would not have any effect, but he had no intention of dissuading her.
Let Sevigny do his best, even if it means nothing.
After sending Sevini away, Xu Yi quickly returned to his busy work state.
The overall relocation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is not as easy as it was when Baron Billier first arrived here.
At that time, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only had two small factories, and there were only two production lines. If some magic machine tool equipment was moved away, the relocation would be basically completed.
As for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, its subordinate Magic Research Institute and Magic Machine Tool R&D Center alone already have more than 500 people, which is a huge scale.
More than a month has passed since Xu Yi decided to move them away, but the overall progress is only just over half.
As for the other factories under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established in the Falling Rain Valley, there are as many as thirty-seven. Moving them all is not only a matter of difficulty, but also impossible.
Xu Yi drove his own magic car into the Luoyu Valley. As soon as the car stopped, many workers wearing the uniforms of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce gathered around him.
"Aren't you going to work? What are you doing here?" Xu Yi got out of the car, looked around at the workers surrounding him, and asked with a frown.
The workers looked at each other and hesitated for a while. A young woman who looked to be in her thirties and was wearing a bicycle foundry shop uniform asked loudly: "President, please tell us the truth. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is Isn’t it about to close?”
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, are we really going to close down? I finally entered our Chamber of Commerce with great difficulty. If it is really closed down, we will have to go there to find jobs."
"President, please, please don't close the door. Our family depends on my salary to survive. If this job is lost, then our whole family may have to go drink the northwest wind." ”
"That's right. Several chambers of commerce that produce magic machinery have closed down in the city. My brother has already lost his job. If I lose my job again, our family will be doomed."
"President, this can't be true, right?"
"President..."
…
Seeing the expectant expressions and panic in the eyes of the people around him, Xu Yi frowned and scolded: "Who told you that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is closing down? That's nonsense!"
"Then why have the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center moved? I also heard that the steelmaking plant and the Magic Machine Tool Workshop will also be moved." The same young woman asked loudly.
"Yes, I've also heard that several workshops in the Household Magic Machinery Department are going to suspend operations."
"President..."
…
Xu Yi raised his hand, interrupted everyone's chatter, looked around, and said seriously: "I am here to tell you solemnly. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a small chamber of commerce, and of course it is impossible to close it just because it says it is closed. In addition, I I can also tell you clearly that our chamber of commerce is currently in a good profit situation, well... in short, it can make a lot of money. Didn't you find that the orders of the workshop are not decreasing at all, but are actually increasing? "...
"But I heard people say that if you make magic machines now, you will lose one piece every time you make one. The more you make, the more you will lose."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at the person who said this angrily: "If this were really the case, I would have announced a shutdown long ago. Why do I continue to do it and even increase orders when I know I am losing money?"
"Hmm... that's true."
"Yes, the president is much smarter than us. How could he do such a stupid thing to lose money?"
"Haha, let me just say, we are simply overthinking this."
…
Seeing the workers' moods improving instantly, Xu Yi felt a little bit dumbfounded.
These ordinary workers are really easy to fool.
Of course, strictly speaking, he didn't lie to them.
"Okay, everyone go back and work hard. The current changes in the Chamber of Commerce are just some actions made out of long-term considerations, and it does not mean that the Chamber of Commerce will close down. Don't worry, even if all other chambers of commerce in Bangta City close down, Neither does our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Are you confident?"
The workers looked at each other and shouted in unison.
"Have confidence!"
"Okay, let's all disperse."
Xu Yi waved his hand, and the workers looked at each other, laughed, and dispersed.
After experiencing this minor incident, Xu Yi quickly walked into the CEO's office and slapped Kennard on his desk.
"Check and find out who spread these rumors." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
Kennard raised his head and glanced at Xu Yi, and said quietly: "President, I'm afraid... this is not a rumor. Aren't you doing these actions with the intention of closing the door?"
Xu Yi stared at Kennard with a serious expression.
"I have said that the relocation of the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center is just for long-term considerations and has nothing to do with anything else. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has finally laid such a good foundation in Bangta City, how could I give up easily."
Kennard shook his head slightly: "President, are you not even willing to tell the truth to me?"
"This is the truth." Xu Yi said seriously. "If someone wants to suck blood from us, let them suck it. As long as it doesn't suck us to death, then I'll let them keep sucking it. I want to see who can't hold on first in the end."
Kennard looked at Xu Yi in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
Sir, is this... declaring war
