Early the next morning, Xu Yi hugged the reluctant Freya, and Liz, Linda, who accompanied her, and Yanis said goodbye to Elder Elusia.
Four people and one elf got into Xu Yi's magic car parked outside. It took only two hours to drive into the long-awaited Bangta City and drove straight to the city lord's palace.
Since Sevini was crowned as Her Majesty the Queen, Bangta City has had a new city lord.
The current city owner, Earl Revel, is Sevigny's staunch supporter. He is only in his forties this year and is considered very young and promising among the earls of the Lampali Kingdom.
Sevigny sent him as the new city lord of Bonta City, which reflects the special importance Seviny attaches to Bonta City.
In the year since Count Revere became the lord of Bonta City, he has been working hard to follow Her Majesty Queen Sevigny's wishes and work hard to revitalize Bonta City's magic industry.
With the strong support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, although the current Bangta City is not as prosperous as it was because many chambers of commerce, especially the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, have withdrawn most of their foundations, but with the comprehensive cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the city has prospered Most prosperity has been restored.
Entering Bangta City, you can see slogans and signs of various magical machines everywhere.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the signs of these magic machines all bear traces of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Because most of the chambers of commerce currently producing magic machinery in Bangta City emerged through joint ventures between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampali Kingdom.
Strictly speaking, these chambers of commerce have not sold a single magic machine, and all new merchants will profit from this.
Although this is not as profitable as Xinfei Chamber of Commerce selling Xinfei brand magic machinery alone. But with these joint ventures. and a mature and large market within the Lampali Kingdom. In the past nine months of this year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has still received huge profits of more than five million gold coins from the Lampali Kingdom.
However, this time, Xu Yi came to Bangta City not for these joint venture chamber of commerce matters, but for something that many people think is not particularly important and does not require him, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to personally A little thing to do.
Because of Count Revere's advance instructions, the magic car driven by Xu Yi entered the city lord's mansion without any hindrance, and Xu Yi soon met Count Revere himself.
As soon as he saw Xu Yi, Count Revere immediately showed a warm smile.
"President Xu. After two years, you have finally returned to Bangta City. On behalf of all the people of Bangta City, I would like to extend my most sincere welcome to you."
Xu Yi laughed, shook hands with Count Revere, and said: "Your Majesty, you are serious. Bangta City has always been my second hometown in my mind. I don't need anything special to come back here." welcome."
"Okay, I hope President Xu can always remember that Bangta City is your second hometown. I also hope that President Xu can return to this hometown more often in the future." Count Revere said with a sincere smile: "Now Bangta City is in the most critical period of rapid development, and your strong support, President Xu, is indispensable.”
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Judging from what I observed on the road, Bangta City is now in a very stable and rapid development state. Even without me, I believe that Bangta City will definitely become the best in the Lampali Kingdom." one of the cities.”
After the two exchanged a few polite words, they soon entered the discussion stage of physical matters.
The main purpose of Xu Yi's return to Bangta City this time is to participate in Bangta City's biannual spring and autumn city cycling competitions held every year except last fall.
Although this round-the-city bicycle race has only been held six times so far, each one has become bigger and bigger. This year, when it was replaced by a bicycle race in the first half of the spring, there were more than 50,000 participants.
In this autumn's round-the-city cycling competition, in addition to participants from Bangta City and several surrounding cities, many people from other cities in the Lampali Kingdom also came all the way to sign up to participate.
Even in addition to the Lampali Kingdom, many people from the Duke of Drake, the Principality of Mirando, and the Kingdom of Lulson also signed up to participate.
Therefore, this Bangta City Ring Road Cycling Race can be regarded as an international event. It not only has a great influence in the Kingdom of Lampali, but also has a great influence in neighboring countries.
What is even more different from previous competitions is that starting from this round-the-city road cycling race, collective registrations from some teams have begun to be accepted.
Because of this regulation, there were many athletes who registered as teams in this road cycling competition.
Among these fleets, except for a small number of self-organized fleets, most of the remaining fleets were either invested and established by a certain chamber of commerce or funded by a certain big noble.
Among these teams, there is one team that has attracted everyone's attention, because the name of this team is the New Speed Team.
This new flying team was of course invested and established by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Things like bicycles were originally developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although there are now many chambers of commerce that have received relevant technology transfer from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and have begun to produce their own brand of bicycles, everyone is convinced that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely be one step ahead of other chambers of commerce in bicycle manufacturing.
Therefore, when most people buy bicycles, they will give priority to Xinfei bicycles.
Xinfei bicycles now occupy more than 80% of the bicycle battlefield, and this is a figure that Xu Yi deliberately made.
If he really wanted to, he could even increase this ratio to 90% or even higher.
The New Speed Team participates in the road cycling race. In the eyes of most people, the championship can only fall into the hands of the New Speed Team.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately announced a new decision in the "Bangta Daily", that is, in order to prevent the competition bonus provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from falling into the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, so the competition results of the Xinfei Team Will not be included in the ranking.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also stated that in order to promote the healthy and orderly development of road cycling competitions, the road cycling competition will start from next autumn. The new speed team will be officially included in the competition. Suppose the new speed team wins the competition. Bonuses will still be paid out truthfully.
In this statement released through "Bangta Daily", a statement Xu Yifa announced to everyone was reproduced.
"I'll give you one year to catch up with the new speed team. If you can't do it, then don't think about the championship."
To ordinary contestants, this sentence may just seem too domineering, and they may feel a little unconvinced, but there is nothing they can do about it.
But for the teams that signed up to participate on behalf of other chambers of commerce and nobles, it was undoubtedly a naked provocation.
And for those teams that compete on behalf of several chambers of commerce that also produce bikes. It's even more of a challenge.
For these teams, they will obviously use bicycles produced by their own chambers of commerce to compete in this road cycling race.
If this can achieve good results in the competition, and even outperform players using Xinfei bicycles, then it will undoubtedly be an excellent advertisement for the bicycles produced by the company's chamber of commerce.
The Bangta City Road Cycling Race has received a lot of attention. If this is successfully accomplished, this chamber of commerce will suddenly become extremely famous, which will undoubtedly significantly increase the bicycle sales of its own chamber of commerce.
But now that Xu Yi is throwing out these words, he is undoubtedly telling other chambers of commerce that you are not qualified yet.
Although other chambers of commerce were dissatisfied, no one could refute this.
Talking about strength in the mechanical field. No matter which chamber of commerce it is, it is impossible to compare with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now.
After introducing Xu Yi to the relevant details of the road cycling race that will officially start tomorrow. Count Revere invited Xu Yi to the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Yi saw a few familiar faces.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi remembered that these people were the presidents of several joint venture chambers of commerce in Bangta City.
If I remember correctly, the main business of the chamber of commerce under the names of these presidents seems to be bicycles.
As soon as they saw Xu Yi and Count Revere come in together, several presidents stood up quickly, with smiles on their faces that were several times more enthusiastic than Count Revere's just now.
After the two parties exchanged a few words, Count Revere quickly brought the conversation to the main topic.
It turns out that these presidents of the Bicycle Chamber of Commerce were specially summoned by Count Revere today. The so-called purpose was to let them take advantage of Xu Yilai's opportunity to discuss in-depth cooperation in bicycles with Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was not surprised by this. In fact, this was what he had revealed to Count Revere in advance, and it was considered his own arrangement.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce statement released by Xu Yi through "Bangta Daily" a few days ago is actually a foreshadowing for this negotiation.
These joint venture chambers of commerce rely on their joint venture with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce bicycles. Even though they have been unable to break the monopoly of Xinfei bicycles, they have also obtained considerable benefits from it. Now Xu Yi is willing to discuss in-depth cooperation with them, and naturally he will get received their warmest welcome.
However, the in-depth cooperation model proposed by Xu Yi left these presidents in a daze.
Xu Yi did not plan to hand them more bicycle production-related technologies to directly improve the quality of the bicycles they made, as they expected, or as they expected, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he actually proposed to hold something together with them. Professional competition!
"Simply put, it is a professional bicycle race that is different from the road bicycle race that will be held tomorrow. If the Bonta City Ring Road Cycling Race is a mass competition that anyone can participate in, then the competition we are holding now , is a bicycle race that only allows professional cyclists and professional bicycle teams to participate.”
Several presidents looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but ask: "But President Xu, what's the point of doing this? If it's just a competition, the current Bangta City Ring Road Cycling Race is mature enough, and it also attracts attention. People are paying attention.”
Several other presidents also looked in agreement. Xu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head.
"No, the competition I want to hold only allows professionals to participate. The teams participating in the competition are only allowed to use the names of their own chambers of commerce and are only allowed to use bicycles produced by their own chambers of commerce. Therefore, they represent the highest level of bicycle racing. level."
"The highest-end means not only the highest-end participants, but also the highest-end bicycles participating in the competition. Do you understand what I mean?"
After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, several presidents thought about it and their eyes lit up at the same time. (To be continued...)
