The New Flying Chamber of Commerce's plan to open the Candela Empire market always does not go smoothly due to various reasons. ,
Although the magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are now very popular in Wimbledon City, and Ambassador Hakanin orders more and more magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce each time, this is not a normal trade model, and it is not a normal trade model. This is not the model Xu Yi hoped for, because the speed of opening up the market is really a bit slow.
However, Xu Yi was not too anxious about this until the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's production capacity was significantly improved.
And although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's progress in opening the Candela Empire market is relatively slow, the progress in opening the markets in other countries is very fast and very smooth.
Now, in addition to being sold in the countries around the Principality of Standing, the magic machines of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have also gone all the way north, crossed the Principality of Drake, and entered the Kingdom of Falk, where they have quickly become popular in the Kingdom of Falk.
The Kingdom of Falk is a country whose territory and population are even greater than those of the Kingdom of Lampali. It will take a lot of effort for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to completely occupy and digest this market.
In comparison, if we only consider it from the perspective of the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, the current policy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should focus on the Falk Kingdom.
What's more, the Falk Kingdom is located in the center of the Sainz Continent, bordering the Candela Empire to the east and the Malo Empire to the north. Its geographical location is very important.
If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can open up a situation in the Falk Kingdom, when the time is right, they may even find an opportunity to enter the Malo Empire.
If the markets of both the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire can be opened at the same time, then it will be called the true promotion of magic machinery to the entire continent.
certainly. This idea is for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It's just too far away.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's production capacity has been unable to make a leap. So now, even if the entire continent's market is disclosed to the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will not be able to completely occupy it.
Considering this situation, Xu Yi has begun to gradually change the development strategy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly sold various magic machines it produced directly to other countries, thereby directly earning profits.
The magic machinery factory jointly established with other countries is only a supplement to meet the needs of other countries to master magic machinery technology.
Now realizing that the production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is difficult to meet the rapid growth of the market, Xu Yi began to change this approach.
The factories of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing and the Black Rice Wasteland are still operating at full capacity. And vigorously increase production capacity, but at the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to strongly support joint ventures with other countries to open factories.
Only a small number of these joint venture factories are fully controlled by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, while the rest are only provided with technical support by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As for the factory sites, personnel and management rights, they belong to partner chambers of commerce in other countries. have.
For these countries, they certainly prefer such a cooperation model, because they can learn the corresponding magic machine manufacturing technologies from this cooperation model, and gradually try to use these technologies to create their own magic machines.
Unlike directly purchasing technology patents from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machines, the joint venture factory has full technical support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the technical personnel of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are personally in charge. There will be certain advantages in learning and mastering technology.
Over time, the quality and performance of the magic machines produced by these joint venture factories will be closer to those of the Xinfei brand magic machines. It is more convenient for them to catch up with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So using this cooperation model, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce easily broke into the Falk Kingdom and signed several cooperation agreements with the Falk Kingdom in one go.
Early next year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will jointly build five household magic machinery factories in the Falk Kingdom in a joint venture with the Falk Kingdom.
According to the plan, in the next five years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to cooperate with the Falk Kingdom to build at least ten household magic machine factories in the Falk Kingdom. It also plans to jointly build a magic machine tool manufacturing workshop and three A steelworks.
In Xu Yi's idea, he is planning to build the Falk Kingdom into a complete production base for the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, striving to be able to produce all kinds of required products on its own even if it completely gets rid of its dependence on the main base of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Household magic machinery.
This idea came about naturally because of the more advantageous geographical location of Falk Kingdom.
Compared with transporting household magic machinery from the Principality of Standing to other countries for sale, by setting up joint venture factories with other countries and producing them locally, the transportation cost alone is extremely considerable.
At the same time, under this cooperation model, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs to provide corresponding technical personnel, and the rest of the basic workers and factory establishment do not need to be invested, so a lot of manpower, material resources and energy can be saved.
Although under this cooperation model, the profits obtained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be reduced a lot, but because of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s current absolute leading position in the field of magic machinery, in the cooperation agreements signed by other countries and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides Technical support and profit sharing are not low at all.
Take the cooperation agreements signed between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falk Kingdom at the end of the year as an example. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profit sharing in these five joint venture household magic machinery factories ranges from a minimum of 45% to a maximum of 60%.
The Falk Kingdom is a larger country than the Lampali Kingdom, and its national power has always been much stronger than the Lampali Kingdom. The living conditions of its people are richer, and the internal market is naturally larger than the Lampali Kingdom. .
Therefore, even though it is only profit sharing, once the market of the Falk Kingdom is fully opened, the New Flying Merchant Association will still be able to obtain extremely huge profits from it.
So when making profit estimates for the coming year, Sebas, the financial director of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, made an extremely bold calculation.
Forty million gold coins!
This is Sebastian's full-year profit assessment budget for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce next year.
Such a huge number can be said to be quite astonishing.
It can even be said that if Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can achieve such huge profits in the coming year. Then it will surpass the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. Become the most profitable chamber of commerce among the surrounding countries!
And even if next year passes. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has only been in the city for seven years.
In such a short period of time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the most profitable chamber of commerce in neighboring countries. It must be said that the development speed is like a miracle.
However, at the year-end summary report meeting held within the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, no one questioned the data presented by Sebas.
Because... this year alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual profit has reached an astonishing 33 million gold coins!
Compared with the full-year profit of 26 million gold coins at the end of last year, this year's full-year profit has increased by a whopping seven million gold coins!
Since the profit of seven million gold coins can be increased this year, the market development of Falk Kingdom and a series of other corresponding measures will be added next year. Everyone believes that the profit growth of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the coming year will definitely exceed 7 million gold coins, so there is no problem that the annual profit will exceed 40 million gold coins.
However, when everyone was excited about this number, Xu Yi poured cold water on everyone.
Yes, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profits will definitely increase significantly in the coming year, but correspondingly, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's capital investment in the coming year will also increase significantly.
According to Xu Yi's plan, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase investment in the Magic Research Institute in the new year, increasing the annual research funding from 5 million gold coins this year to 8 million gold coins.
At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue to increase investment in the escort team. Strive to increase the number of guards to more than 10,000 people in the coming year.
The equipment level of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is far superior to that of the armies of all surrounding countries, so this is just a plan. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce's investment in the escort team will increase by at least three million gold coins next year.
On the maritime front, the investment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will accelerate.
With the construction of several island bases, according to the financial budget made by Sebastian, starting from next year, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's annual investment in these sea bases will be as high as a minimum of four million gold coins, and will increase year by year.
However, compared to the pure expenditure of the Magic Research Institute and the Guards, once the follow-up development plans of these island bases are implemented, they can bring a lot of practical benefits to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so as long as they are done well, they will not cost much. You will eventually make money.
Of course, don’t count on it when investing upfront.
According to the plan, at least in the first three years, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only invest in this area, and it is difficult to see specific returns.
However, compared to specific returns, Xu Yi values more the other conveniences brought by these island bases.
For example, if we have these island bases, the area where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet and transport fleet can operate will be greatly increased, making it easier for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to further explore other markets through the endless sea.
For example, the ship market...
Leslie sent back the news that Remito Russell was interested in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce frigates, and Xu Yi was not surprised.
He was certain that anyone who saw the power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce frigates with their own eyes would have to admit that the original wooden ships were completely outdated.
As long as the Candela Empire Navy isn't all idiots, they will definitely be interested in frigates.
Previously, Xu Yi had asked Leslie to perform several scenes deliberately in front of the Candela Imperial Navy, just to attract their attention.
Russell, who is now the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Empire's Naval Staff, has expressed such a wish, which means that Xu Yi's goal has finally been achieved.
A few days after Leslie's letter was sent to Xu Yi, Ambassador Hakanin came to the Principality of Standing again. In addition to purchasing goods again, he also brought a letter from Russell.
In this letter, Russell clearly expressed the Candela Empire Navy's interest in the frigates produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. However, he questioned Leslie's price of two million gold coins for a frigate, saying that the price was really too high. It's too high and unacceptable. I hope the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make concessions.
Xu Yi responded with a letter expressing the position of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi's tone in the letter was very polite, and he talked a lot, but only one meaning was revealed between the lines.
impossible. (To be continued...)
