It’s almost time to enter the spring harvest season.
In the past, this time of year was Cantona's busiest, but also the happiest time.
Because the Cantona Chamber of Commerce has mastered more than ten sets of farmland magic machinery, every spring harvest season, many people in Bonta City and even several surrounding cities will invite the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to assist in harvesting.
Although very busy and tiring, this job not only makes a lot of money, but can also accumulate a lot of reputation for the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, although the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is no longer the small chamber of commerce with only a dozen farmland magic machines at the beginning, Cantona still attaches great importance to this work.
However, at this time of year, Cantona started to worry.
If not for anything else, it’s because of a newly issued regulation by the City Lord’s Mansion.
The city government requires that in order to ensure the smooth progress of spring harvest and plowing, the farmland magic machinery of the brand designated by the city government must be used on the land in Bangta City.
As for this designated brand, of course it is the Hayata brand farmland magic machine produced by Hayata Shokai, the only one recognized by the Magic Industry Administration.
In fact, everyone knows why the City Lord's Palace has this rule, but Cantona has no choice.
Other chambers of commerce in Bonta City can no longer operate in Bonta City and can choose to move away. However, the farmland farming and harvesting business engaged in by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce is originally based on the land of Bonta City and cannot be avoided at all. The jurisdiction of Bangta City. Cantona has also considered leaving Bonta City, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce cannot leave the Lampali Kingdom directly. If it conducts business in other cities in the kingdom, the current situation will be difficult. But it only delayed the time for a while.
Because the Magic Industry Administration is promoting this regulation nationwide in the Lampali Kingdom. Claimed to ensure the standardization and rationality of farmland planting. You must use farmland magic machinery of a brand recognized by the Magic Industry Administration.
Forced into desperation, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could only purchase ten more complete sets of farm magic machinery from the Hayata Chamber of Commerce, thus spending nearly 10,000 gold coins.
Cantona thought that he could continue to engage in his previous business. However, when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce carried out the first farmland harvest on the farmland contracted by the village of Mexico, these ten sets of farmland magic machinery had frequent problems, causing Mexico There was only about a hundred acres of wheat-growing farmland left in the village, and it took three days to harvest it.
You know, a few years ago. As long as the Cantona Chamber of Commerce goes all out, the problem of a mere 100 acres of farmland in Mexico City can be solved in one morning at the earliest.
Cantona frowned deeply when he heard a Hayata farmland magic harvester not far away making a piercing sharp sound, then stopping without making any sound, and even the light of the magic circle no longer emitted. In the past three days, only the Hayata brand small magic harvesters were used, but thirteen of the twenty Hayata brand small magic harvesters had various problems, and six of them had serious problems. , can't start at all.
The most exaggerated thing is that the key bearings in two of them were directly broken!
This problem is simply unbelievable. You must know that this bearing is the fundamental connection of the entire small magic harvester. It is supposed to be cast with the best materials, but this Hayata brand small magic harvester has only been used for two days. Even the bearings can be broken, which shows how poor the quality is.
"President, we can't do this anymore." A worker from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce threw away the broken Hayata small magic harvester in his hand and complained to Cantona: "We can't do this if we keep doing this. live."
"Yes, President, it looks like the machine I have is about to die." A worker not far away who was still insisting also smiled bitterly. "Listen, what the hell is that noise coming from here? I don't think it's any better..."...
Before he finished speaking, the small magic harvester he was holding suddenly erupted into a strange white light. Then the light faded away, the sound completely disappeared, and it became motionless.
Everyone looked at each other, and the worker sighed, let go of his hand, came to Cantona, shook his head and said: "President, I can't do it anymore. What the hell is this Hayata magic harvester? It's just a pile of tattered."
"That is, even if it is not broken, its working efficiency is completely inferior to that of the New Flying Magic Harvester. What's more, the New Flying Magic Harvesters we bought have been used for three years now, and none of them have broken down. It’s gone, it’s just a minor problem at most.”
"Yes, the New Flying Magic Harvester is so easy to use. It's not as easy to break as this bullshit Hayata Magic Harvester. President, we'd better take out the New Flying Magic Harvester and use it, otherwise we won't be able to do it at all. Go down."
"Yes, yes, President, take out the New Flying Magic Harvester. Why do you have to use this pile of junk when you have a good one?"
"The president is probably worried about the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion..."
"We have to use these bullshit rules ourselves. How can the City Lord's Mansion control them?"
"That's hard to say..."
…
Cantona frowned, looked up at the entrance of the village of Mexico, and saw a man riding a bicycle quickly approaching from the entrance of the village.
Watching the man riding to the edge of the farmland, Cantona and a group of workers rushed up to meet him.
"Hey, Macaro, why are you back? Didn't I tell you to take the bus and go back quickly? Why are you riding a bicycle?" Cantona asked eagerly.
Macaro put the bicycle away and spread his hands with a wry smile: "The bus price has increased again. After thinking about it, I thought it was not worthwhile. Besides, it's not too far from the city, so I went by bicycle."
"Another price increase?" Everyone in the group was shocked. "Didn't the price just go up last month? Now it's going up again? How much has it gone up?"
"Thirty silver coins for a trip..." Macaro sighed: "It costs sixty silver coins for a round trip. Do you think it's a loss to take the bus?"
"Holy crap! It only rose to 20 silver coins last month, and it suddenly rose to 30 silver coins this month? Is this crazy? Many words are so expensive, only a ghost wants to sit there!"
"Damn it, I knew the price of this thing would definitely increase after Feilson Bus and Horse Company withdrew from the city's bus system. But I never expected that the increase would be so exaggerated! One trip only cost eight silver coins before, okay? !”
"Filson Car and Horse Racing is really good. They are running a good business. Why should we quit? We can't afford to take the bus now."
"You can't blame Feilson. You didn't read what was said in the "Bangta Daily". This is all because the regulations of the city lord's palace forced them to withdraw, otherwise they would lose money. Do you think Fei Doesn’t Wilson Car and Horse Racing need to make money?”
"Then the City Lord's Palace handed over the city's bus system to that Rafaeli Chamber of Commerce, so it can't increase the price so exaggeratedly, right? There are so many words that it won't allow people to take the bus?"
"If you have the guts to say this, do you want to tell the Lord of the City? Don't forget, the reason why we can't use the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery is because of the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion."
"Damn, these guys in the City Lord's Mansion are so shameless!"
"Shh... don't talk nonsense..."
…
Cantona raised his head and interrupted everyone's discussion. Asked Macaro: "Don't worry about the bus for now, Macaro, have you gone to the Hayata Chamber of Commerce and asked? What did they say?"
Macaro nodded and replied: "I asked, and they said they would send someone to check on the situation."
"Then they didn't say when they would send someone to repair it?" Cantona asked again.
“I also asked about this, and they said it can be repaired, but they want us to pay the maintenance fee.”…
"More maintenance fees?" Everyone in the group was stunned. "Is there any mistake? It's been less than a month since I bought these farmland magic machines, okay? They should still be within the warranty period, but we actually have to pay for them to be repaired?"
"That's right. Isn't this too ridiculous? Many people say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promises free repairs within half a year, and selective free repairs within three years. This bullshit Hayata Chamber of Commerce doesn't even have one free repair? How does this work?"
"Okay. You compare this crap Hayata Chamber of Commerce with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and you are not afraid of Chairman Xu being angry? What qualifications do they have to compare with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Are they worthy?"
"Then what should we do? Do we just admit it?"
I saw the questioning looks cast by a group of subordinates. Cantona frowned deeply, thought for a moment, and then asked Macaro: "Did they say how much the repair fee will be?"
"They said not necessarily." Macaro recalled the answer he got at the Hayata Chamber of Commerce. "If it is an ordinary minor problem, we will send it over and let them repair it for two gold coins at a time. If they send someone to repair it, it will be three gold coins at a time. If it is a major problem, it will cost ten to twenty gold coins, depending on the specific situation. ”
Hearing this answer, a group of workers around him couldn't help but cursed again.
Now, of the twenty Hayata brand small magic harvesters in the field, fifteen have broken down, and not one of them looks like a minor problem.
In other words, to repair all fifteen units, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would have to pay at least close to two hundred gold coins in terms of maintenance fees alone.
"President, I think even if these broken things are repaired, they will probably break again soon. And with this kind of work efficiency, we won't be able to harvest many fields at all."
"Yeah, if we continue to use them, I'm afraid the money we make will not be enough to repair them."
"But if we don't use them, what will we do this year?"
"What should I do? It's obvious that I can't do it anymore."
"Why don't you do it if you can't continue? This is the most basic business of our chamber of commerce."
…
A group of people once again focused their attention on Cantona.
At this time, it is still up to him, the president, to make the decision.
Cantona couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why was he not in a dilemma now
Obviously, if you continue to use these Hayata brand farmland magic machines, the end result will be that the money you earn is far from enough to cover the maintenance costs.
But if they don't use it, it means they have given up on the most basic but most stable business of farmland harvesting and reclamation.
The only way to solve this problem is to re-activate the Xinfei brand farmland magic machinery.
However, the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion were blocking it, so he didn't dare to violate it easily.
"If I had known better, I would have listened to Father Sakchi's advice, followed the example of other chambers of commerce, and just abandoned the Lampali Kingdom. Anyway, this kingdom has been turned into a mess by those guys, and there is no way we can stay here."
Cantona sighed in his heart, thought for a moment, and shook his head. He was about to ask Macaro to go to the Hayata Chamber of Commerce again and invite the other party's maintenance personnel to come over. When he looked up, he found a pure black magic car coming out of Mexico. The entrance to Xilan Village opened.
