If Xu Yi knew that Sevini was actually complaining in his heart at this moment that he abandoned the Lampali Kingdom and Bangta City, he would definitely scream that he was wronged. ..m
Because half a month before the new year, he had already brought his family back to Luoxing Manor in Bangta City.
And just yesterday, he also attended the New Year's Eve party held by the City Lord's Mansion, and had a "cordial and friendly" conversation with the City Lord Kamadu. By the way, after the party, he also had a good time with a group of old friends in Bangta City. He drank so much that when he got up on the first morning of the New Year, his head still hurt from the hangover.
But the headache could not affect his planned plan.
According to the plan, he visited a bunch of people as usual on the first day of the new year, including not only the old partners of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City, but also the Lord of Kamadu City and representatives of the ten chambers of commerce.
Although the two parties have actually broken up, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still retains some facilities in Bangta City, and is still nominally the Chamber of Commerce of Bangta City, so on the surface it is still necessary to maintain basic etiquette.
As for the inner thoughts of the Kamadu City Lord and the ten chambers of commerce, they were obviously similar to Xu Yi. Although they were actually rude to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they still behaved politely when Xu Yi came to the door. Be polite and don't show any disrespect. Although the etiquette interaction between the two parties was easy to understand, it made President Cruise very impatient because he came to Luo Xing Manor early in the morning and wanted to send New Year greetings to Xu Yi, but he did not expect Xu Yi to go out to visit Kama. City Lord Du and the representatives of the ten chambers of commerce spent half the morning, so that when he waited at Luo Xing Manor for Xu Yi to return, it was almost noon.
"I'm talking about Xu Yi, those guys have done this to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, why are you so polite to them?" President Cruise looked at the happy face after returning from the visit, and couldn't tell Xu Yi, who was unhappy, frowned and asked, "Do you still expect them to change their attitude?"
"Of course that's impossible." Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "This is just an ordinary courtesy exchange, and I don't do it for their sake, but for the face of the entire Bangta City."
"The face of the entire Bangta City?" President Cruz snorted coldly. "The entire city of Bangta has lost all face!"
"Oh? What did you say?" Xu Yi sat down on the sofa in the living room and looked at President Cruise with some surprise.
"Our Bonta City has undoubtedly been number one in the area in recent years, right? It's not even that far behind Anvilmar City. But look at this year. Those guys have made the entire Bonta City a mess. , Not to mention compared with Anvilmar City, even compared with the surrounding Kalma City and Saltan City, it is not much better," President Cruz said angrily. "Isn't that true?" Xu Yi said in surprise. "Bangta City has developed so well in the past few years. Even if it is corrupted by them, it should still be much stronger than these other cities, right?"
"Hmph, it is indeed a bit stronger now. But it may not be so in a year or two." President Cruz groaned: "Now, except for the ten chambers of commerce in the city, all the chambers of commerce in the city are planning to move out. Let's talk about it. Bangta City has become so prosperous because of the development of our chamber of commerce. Of course, the one who played the biggest role is your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Let’s go, our other chambers of commerce are almost on the verge of death. What future does Bangta City have?”
"Is there no way to survive?" Xu Yi frowned. "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Of course!" President Cruz raised his voice. “Do you know what bullshit regulations the City Lord’s Mansion issued some time ago?”…
"Oh? What? Is it related to your Amri Chamber of Commerce?"
"Of course it's relevant! The City Lord's Palace actually issued a notice to us, saying that paving roads and building houses will involve the expropriation of Kingdom land, so they need to be under the unified management of the Kingdom Parliament. Chambers of commerce engaged in these two businesses must accept the approval of the City Lord's Palace where they are located. Management arrangements. According to the research and decision of the City Lord’s Palace, wherever we build roads or build houses in the future, we must first report to the City Lord’s Palace for approval and then complete it under the supervision of the City Lord’s Palace.”
Xu Yi thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this rule.
Because land is a limited resource after all, and because of the existence of nobles, there is not much land left for the control of the Kingdom Council, so it is necessary for the Kingdom Council to strictly manage these lands.
"Bullshit!" President Cruz waved his hand angrily. "If they consider it from this aspect, then I don't have any objection. It doesn't matter if they hand over some money or something. However, the city government designated the American and Asian Chamber of Commerce to establish a chamber of commerce specifically responsible for evaluating land use conditions, which is a clear target for us, Amri. Chamber of Commerce. Do you know what this chamber of commerce is for?”
"Isn't it to evaluate the use of land by your chamber of commerce?" Xu Yi asked back.
President Cruz snorted heavily: "If only it was like this! But the city government actually requires our Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the American-Asian Chamber of Commerce wherever it builds roads or builds houses in the future, and obtains the approval of the American-Asian Chamber of Commerce. Only then will construction be allowed to begin, and the project will still be subject to review by the American-Asia Chamber of Commerce.”
"Okay, this is a normal method. I don't think it's a big deal." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Isn't this a big deal?" President Cruise's eyes widened. "Do you know what the people sent by the American-Asia Chamber of Commerce said?"
Seeing the angry expression on President Cruise's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but frown: "Are their demands too excessive?"
"Excessive?" President Cruise sneered. "It's not just excessive, it's simply shameless! The American-Asian Chamber of Commerce actually asked me to take a 30% share in all the road paving and housing construction projects of our chamber of commerce! And asked us to hand over various engineering technologies to them for detailed review! "
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, does this mean that we are using the methods used to deal with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce to deal with your Amuli Chamber of Commerce? Judging from this, I am afraid that after the American and Asian Chamber of Commerce obtains all the engineering technology from you, it will soon introduce a new plan. According to the regulations, it is declared that your Amuli Chamber of Commerce does not have the corresponding qualifications for construction projects, right?”
"Look, I knew you would definitely understand." President Cruise spread his hands and said helplessly: "Tell me, am I almost at the end of my life?"
Xu Yi smiled, shook his head and said: "Okay, there is really no way to survive. You won't come to me to complain to me. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that Xu Yi had reached the point of the question, President Cruise put away the expressions of anger, unwillingness and helplessness on his face, and said seriously: "Xu Yi, if I move our Amri Chamber of Commerce to the Principality of Standing, do you think it is feasible? ?"
Although he had already guessed some of President Cruise's plans, Xu Yi was still a little dazed when he heard him say this idea.
Since the Amuli Chamber of Commerce has its business all over the country, it can no longer be regarded as a chamber of commerce that is particularly affected by the local influence of Bonta City. Now even President Cruz has this idea. I am afraid that except for those ten chambers of commerce in the entire Bonta City Other chambers of commerce outside of China might have this idea.
"That's right, when I talked privately with President Vincent and others, they all revealed this meaning." President Cruise nodded and agreed with Xu Yi's guess. "The City Lord's Palace is not only targeting our Amri Chamber of Commerce, but also the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Salank Chamber of Commerce, and even the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. The Amri Chamber of Commerce is not the only one that is dying. .”…
Xu Yi couldn't help but frown.
The City Lord's Palace obviously got the support of the Kingdom Council for doing this, but it was just a way to deal with chambers of commerce like the Amri Chamber of Commerce and the Armani Chamber of Commerce that didn't have a strong background. They even dared to touch the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. Are they really not worried about even the Falcao Chamber of Commerce? Is the Joseph family behind the Falcao Chamber of Commerce also offended
Or... is this simply an action carried out by the stubborn conservative nobles headed by the Stark family in the Lampali Kingdom against the nobles of other forces in the kingdom
If this is the case, there will probably be instability in the Lampali Kingdom.
"Well... If you really want to move to the Principality of Standing, there is no problem." Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "The relations in the Principality of Standing are very easy to open up, and I can help you with this. But you Have you ever thought about a question? Your situation is different from that of our Chamber of Commerce. If you want to get rid of the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion, you can only change the registration place of the Amuli Chamber of Commerce."
"Of course I have thought about this." President Cruz said solemnly: "I understand what you are worried about. Indeed, in this way, our Amli Chamber of Commerce can no longer be regarded as the Chamber of Commerce of Bangta City, which is equivalent to throwing away such a The foundation we have built up over the years, even in order to avoid the subsequent targeted measures by the Royal Council, we might just become a foreign chamber of commerce. "
"Can you accept this result?" Xu Yi asked seriously.
"So what if you don't accept it?" President Cruise sighed. "Now those guys have made it clear that they want to kill our Chamber of Commerce. If I just sit back and wait for death, I would be an idiot. I don't have the ability or qualifications to resist. If I can't afford to offend them, I can only hide."
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since His Royal Highness Prince Eric became the king, he had expected that such a day would come, but he did not expect that the other party's actions would be so fast, direct, and even brutal.
From the current point of view, they were somewhat restrained when dealing with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but they were extremely rough when dealing with a chamber of commerce like the Amli Chamber of Commerce that did not have a strong backing.
Obviously the Amri Chamber of Commerce is not the only chamber of commerce they want to deal with. According to the various actions of the city lord of Bangta City in the past six months, their purpose is to completely integrate Bangta City into those ten chambers of commerce. In other words In other words, it was actually brought under the control of the great nobles behind the ten chambers of commerce.
But the question is, are they really so confident in themselves
Are they sure that by driving away other chambers of commerce, they can run Bangta City as well as before
Xu Yi was deeply suspicious of this.
