As the current core product of the Moon Shadow Tribe, chemical fertilizers, which can significantly increase crop yields, have naturally received unanimous praise and warm welcome from all countries.
For the fertilizer processing factory under the name of the Yueying Tribe, the worry has never been how to sell, but the output.
Every year when the harvest season is approaching, all the surrounding countries are eyeing the Moon Shadow Tribe's fertilizers, striving to grab more shares to increase their own country's food production.
And this year, the behemoth Candela Empire has been added to the list of countries competing for it.
Although the Malo Empire only came into contact with chemical fertilizers for the first time last fall, the data reflected during the harvest this spring immediately made the nobles in the Malo Empire instantly have a strong desire for this novel thing. .
It is about to enter the most important harvest season in autumn. In addition to actively preparing for harvesting, various countries in the southwestern corner of the Sainz continent, led by the Lampali Kingdom, are also trying to win more shares of fertilizers from the Moon Shadow Tribe. And try hard.
The Candela Empire also did not miss this opportunity. Some nobles in the Malo Empire, represented by the Marquis of Southgaard, immediately placed an astonishing order of up to 30,000 tons of various fertilizers to Yueying Fertilizer Processing Factory.
This huge order is almost worth all the orders of the entire Lampali Kingdom.
Although the Moon Shadow Tribe was well prepared this year, they could only accept orders for a mere 100,000 tons of fertilizer at most. Therefore, how to allocate quotas was also a problem for these elves.
Fortunately, the elves have always been known for their stubbornness. Elder Lisanya directly gave the reason why he had agreed before. Priority was given to ensuring the supply of fertilizers to the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing.
As for other countries. It was slightly lower than in previous years.
As for the Malo Empire, in the end, it only received an order of 10,000 tons, which was forced out of orders from other countries.
This result undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction from other countries besides the Lampali Kingdom and the Principality of Standing, but because fertilizer was exclusively supplied by the Moon Shadow Tribe, they had nothing to do.
Of course, it is impossible to maintain this state forever, so after Xu Yi's help, the Yueying Tribe and several nobles in the Lampali Kingdom signed a raw material supply agreement. Fertilizer and raw materials are grown on the private lands of these nobles, thereby greatly increasing the supply of raw materials.
At the same time, the Moon Shadow Tribe will also build three more fertilizer processing plants in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing.
According to estimates, after all three fertilizer processing plants are completed and put into operation next year, the total fertilizer output of the Yueying Tribe will more than double, which is enough to meet the needs of several nearby countries, and there will also be some surplus for other buyers.
However, according to Xu Yi's estimation, this is still far from enough.
Not counting other things, the demand for chemical fertilizers in the Malo Empire alone would be extremely huge.
Considering that the land area of the Malo Empire is twice as large as that of the countries in the southwest corner combined, their demand for chemical fertilizers is obviously more than twice as large.
The Moon Shadow Tribe can barely meet the needs of the surrounding countries. But it still couldn't satisfy the Maro Empire.
Not to mention that the Candela Empire will definitely have a huge demand for fertilizers in the future, as well as other countries on the continent.
Relative to the current output of the Moon Shadow Tribe. In the future, Sainz Continent’s demand for fertilizers will be almost a bottomless pit.
Xu Yi didn't have any solution to this problem.
Although the Moon Shadow Tribe is the largest of the three elf tribes he has come into contact with, its total population has not exceeded four thousand so far.
Even if a fertilizer processing factory uses all the automated magic machine tools specially developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to process and make fertilizers, it will still require at least more than 500 manpower.
Even if all the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe are counted, they can only support six fertilizer processing plants at most, and the total annual fertilizer output can barely exceed 500,000 tons at most, which is far from meeting the demand.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that there is really no solution at all.
However, the key reason why this problem cannot be solved is that Elder Lisanya has always insisted that the fertilizer processing plant is controlled by the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe and does not allow outsiders to participate.
Xu Yi had previously suggested to Elder Lisanya that more human workers could be recruited into the factory. This would free up the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe and allow them to focus more on management work and expand production at the same time. However, She refused.
Elder Lisanya was resolute at the time, and Xu Yi had no choice but to persuade her, so he had no choice but to leave it to her.
However, Xu Yi believes that as the demand for fertilizers faced by the Moon Shadow Tribe becomes increasingly large, Elder Lisania will compromise sooner or later because of this fact.
After all, with such a huge and attractive benefit in front of them, even the elves who have always been stubborn and do not know how to adapt will still be tempted by it.
A very typical example is the Night Song tribe.
Perhaps it is because of the early contact and cooperation with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps because Elder Elushia is also an elf, but is far more adaptable than many elves, or perhaps because of the Night Song tribe. The population of the tribe is far less than that of the Moon Shadow tribe, and they have been facing very serious survival problems, so that Elder Elushia often cannot adhere to some so-called principles...
In short, when the Yege tribe encountered a similar development bottleneck, Elder Elushia accepted Xu Yi's suggestion of cooperation with humans without much hesitation.
The main industry of the Yege tribe has always been related to plastics.
At the beginning, the Yege tribe just picked up a small plastic processing workshop in the tribe in the Forest of Falling Rain, which was not even a factory. It was the first order received from outside the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It was just two hundred plastic hangers offered by an ordinary clothing store, and the total order amount was less than ten gold coins.
As plastic products continued to become more popular, Yege Plastic Processing Factory received more and more orders for various plastic products.
Soon, Elder Elusia discovered that the Yege tribe's manpower could not meet such a huge order demand, so she decisively accepted Xu Yi's proposal and began to directly sell products under the name of the elves in the Lampali Kingdom. A Yege Chamber of Commerce was opened, and then through this official chamber of commerce, humans were recruited to work in the Yege Plastic Processing Factory.
Although the Yege Chamber of Commerce was also affected by the turmoil in the Lampali Kingdom, it still grew steadily.
As of now, the Yege tribe owns seven plastic processing factories in the Lampali Kingdom alone. Except for the most critical factory supervisors and financers, who are elves from the Yege tribe, the rest of the employees are all humans.
In the Kingdom of Luersun and the Principality of Drake, the Yege Tribe also invested and built three plastic processing plants respectively.
Even in the plastic processing factory in the Duke of Drake, Elder Elushia only sent one elf to be responsible for financial management, and left all other matters to human employees.
Under this bold hands-off strategy, although it is inevitable that human employees will try to deceive others, in general, the industry under the name of the Night Song tribe has developed extremely rapidly.
Now the Yege Tribe can earn more than two million gold coins in net income every year just by relying on the income generated by various plastic processing plants, which even exceeds the Yueying Tribe's annual net income.
Moreover, in addition to recruiting human workers in the factories under her name, Elder Elusia was the first female elf sent to Xu Yi to follow Xu Yi to learn human business operations. Now she has successfully integrated into the human business circle. , you can even complete some business operations on your own.
For example, this time when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Candela Empire to invest in the construction of a magic motorcycle factory at the invitation of Prince Frank of the Candela Empire, and by the way prevented a group of chambers of commerce from the Lampali Kingdom from going to invest together, Xu Yi had not informed Delir yet that she He actually came to the door on his own initiative.
"President Xu, we at the Night Song Chamber of Commerce also attach great importance to the market in the Candela Empire. If possible, I hope to go to the Candela Empire with you and strive to invest in a plastic processing factory belonging to our Ye Song tribe in the Candela Empire. ." Delir looked directly at Xu Yi with a sincere tone.
"Of course it's good that you have this idea. But..." Xu Yi stretched out a finger and tapped Delir. "Don't you think it's too abrupt for an elf like you to suddenly rush in front of the people of the Candela Empire? The people of the Candela Empire are not used to the appearance of your elves like the people of the surrounding countries."
"This won't be a problem." Delir smiled. "Previously, President Xu, you have always allowed us elves to appear boldly in front of humans, so that humans can more easily get familiar with and accept us. I think, since people from the surrounding countries have now accepted us, then the Candela Empire's People will accept us too.”
Seeing the confident smile on Delir's face, Xu Yi couldn't help but nodded appreciatively.
"Okay, since you have the confidence, then I can take you with me. But how to convince the people of the Candela Empire to accept you and allow them to let your Night Song tribe invest in building a factory? It all depends on you."
"Okay, that's no problem at all."
Looking at Delir, who was full of confidence and vitality, Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that the elves in each elf tribe are greatly influenced by the tribal elders. Many elves from the Moon Shadow tribe have been with Xu Yi for a while, but none of them can learn this kind of knowledge like Delir. Xu Yi values the most confident and self-reliant spirit.
Otherwise, given that the Yueying Tribe has far more manpower than the Yege Tribe, and also controls the most powerful product, fertilizer, the scale of development should have far exceeded that of the Yege Tribe. (To be continued...)
