Chapter 127 The Strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
Although no one would really come and question Xu Yi in front of him if he was eligible to participate, there would still be many people who would come to take a look.
Not long after Xu Yi appeared at the banquet, Moon Cruise, president of the Amley Chamber of Commerce, greeted him with a glass of wine and a smile.
"President Xu, when we usually invite you to a banquet, you are always too busy to come. Why did you appear immediately when the Lord of the City invited you?"
Since reaching an exclusive supply agreement for cement with Xu Yi, and after conducting many experiments on cement, it was confirmed that this thing really performs well, far exceeding the building materials used by the Amley Chamber of Commerce before, President Cruise. Every time I saw Xu Yi, I would greet him with such a smile, no longer the suspicious and secretive disdain of Xu Yi when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just joined the Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand to touch him: "President Cruise, you just wronged me. You must know that I basically refused even the invitation of the city lord before, not only For you. No way, there are too many things in the chamber of commerce, not only before, I was so busy during this time that I couldn't wait to work even when I slept. I was able to come to this banquet today, but I still tried my best to squeeze in. from."
"It's a good thing to be busy with work. The things of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have always been so popular, of course you, the president, will be busy." President Cruise laughed, suddenly approached Xu Yi, and asked in a low voice; " President Xu, tell the truth, how much did you sell that new magic lamp?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly. Extend a slap.
"Five thousand units? No. It can't be that few. Then... 50,000 units?" Seeing Xu Yi nodding, President Cruise suddenly gasped, his face full of shock. "It's only been less than half a month, isn't it? How many are sold? President Xu, you... Did your new flight chambers cast charm magic on all people in Tacheng? Let everyone buy you s things?"
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing, thinking that although there was no charm magic, through the various products previously launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as well as various advertisements and reports on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, people in Bangta City are now very concerned about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The recognition rate of this brand is very high. No matter what new products the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launches, it will immediately attract all-round attention.
And this time, because of the addition of two talented exterior designers, Yanis and Vivian, the magic desk lamp is enough to attract most of the attention by its appearance, plus the influence of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, This is what makes such terrible sales.
"President Cruise, if I know such powerful magic, what kind of business guild would I open, and I will directly charm people and let them obediently take out the gold coins in their pockets and give them to me?" Xu Yi joked. road. "It sells so well, of course, because our Chamber of Commerce's products are really good enough. For example, cement. Don't you like it?"
As soon as Xu Yi mentioned cement, President Cruise immediately looked around nervously. He winked at Xu Yi and said in a low voice, "President Xu, please help keep this secret for the time being."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
In the market, being able to seize the opportunity will play an extremely important role in many cases.
Now the Amley Chamber of Commerce has preemptively obtained the exclusive right to purchase cement from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which means that they are one step ahead of other construction chambers in the use of this new type of building material, and it also means that the Amley Chamber of Commerce can obtain more long-term future. develop.
Of course, President Cruise didn't want Xu Yi to reveal this secret, so as not to affect his plans with the Amri Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing Xu Yi shut up, President Cruise laughed dryly and said again: "President Xu, let's go back to the question just now. Why are you free to attend this banquet today? I'm really sorry. curious."
Xu Yi glanced at him: "What? Do you also think that I am not qualified to participate in the auction?"
"How could that be?" President Cruise shook his head again and again, paused, but still said in a very euphemistic tone; "It's just that your chamber of commerce has always been operating magic machinery? Why do you care about iron ore? interested?"
"You Amley Chamber of Commerce specializes in the construction industry, why are you here?" Xu Yi asked back.
"Hey, the construction site consumes a lot of iron. Not to mention the one you said before..." President Cruise lowered his voice again. "That reinforced concrete also consumes a lot of iron. If you can own a piece of iron ore, it will be much better than buying it directly from someone else. I think President Xu, you should know very well, that guy Fuller Morgan has always been They're all very darkhearted."
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Then do you think the demand for iron ore is high for the magic machinery produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi silently for a while, then frowned slightly: "So, President Xu, are you really interested in those two iron mines?"
"Of course, otherwise what am I going to do?" Xu Yi replied as a matter of course, and then pointed to the crowd of people in other places at the banquet. "This time, the royal family has finally made a public auction of iron ore. You see, not only the Chamber of Commerce in our Bangta City, but also the large chambers of commerce in other cities have rushed over. I think if His Majesty the King allows it, other countries' The Chamber of Commerce will also come to participate. After all, iron ore is too useful, and if you have the opportunity to hold two in your own hands, who will let it go?”
President Cruise turned his head to look at the people in the lively banquet hall who were chatting together in twos and threes, and nodded: "Indeed, this is a rare opportunity, and no one wants to miss it." Looking at Xu Yi, he asked hesitantly, "But President Xu, according to what I have heard from the Lord of the City, the starting price of the smaller of the two iron mines is 500,000 gold coins..."
The implication, of course, is to doubt Xu Yi's economic strength.
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that President Cruise had been chatting for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say this question, and said in a relaxed tone: "Well, I heard about it too. I should say this starting price. Very low. But I see that so many people here are eyeing it. The final transaction price is probably much higher."
President Cruise took a look at Xu Yi. Seeing that he didn't even frown after hearing the astonishing amount of half a million gold coins, he couldn't help but wonder.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is located in Bangta City. Under everyone's nose, everyone can see what it has sold and how much income it has earned.
According to the estimation that several people from the federation got together last time, even if each product of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is pure profit. The total income obtained in less than half a year should be less than 200,000 gold coins. Why did Xu Yi feel that he might be involved in the auction of these two iron mines? Where did the new pilots get so much money?
Of course, it was impossible for him to get an answer from Xu Yi, so he could only chat with Xu Yi for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.
As soon as he turned around, President Cruise's eyes swept across the banquet hall, and he was suddenly surprised.
In this banquet hall, which covers an area of more than 500 square meters, and the highest arc top is more than four meters above the ground, looking around, President Cruise can see countless products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce all at once.
on the left and right walls. From left to right, there are as many as 20 cooling and heating magic air conditioners launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in a row.
Although in the propaganda of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. A heating and cooling magic air conditioner is enough to support the temperature adjustment of 30 square meters of space, but this banquet hall is used by the Lord of the City to entertain guests.
Because it is now severe winter, the outside at night is so cold that it freezes, so now in this banquet hall, all 20 magic air conditioners are turned on, adjusting the temperature in the hall as if it were a late spring.
On the wall below the magic air conditioner, there is also a long row of brackets. On these brackets, the latest magic table lamps launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are lined up, casting a dazzling light, which illuminates the large hall. It must be like a board of the day.
In the past, when a banquet was held in this hall, in addition to lighting countless candles on the walls, it was necessary to light candles on the table of each chapter to maintain the lighting of the entire hall.
But now I just hang these magic lamps on the wall, and hang a magic chandelier at the top of the hall, which is said to be specially designed and manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The whole hall is transparent and bright, without any dark feeling. .
Seeing these magic air conditioners and magic lamps, President Cruise involuntarily raised a guess that he himself could not believe.
Maybe... everyone underestimated the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
###
Xu also didn't know that President Cruise had so many thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know that he would have made a serious miscalculation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because he saw many products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But if he knew the amount of 200,000 gold coins in President Cruise's heart, he would be very shocked.
Because according to a financial report made by Sebas half a month ago, in this nearly half a year, if the income from the magic lamp is not counted, the total income of all the goods sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just about 200,000 gold coins.
But the real profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot be calculated by outsiders.
The reason is very simple, any product of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a huge profit! And it is a very terrible profiteering!
Among them, the one with the lowest sales profit margin is the first commodity magic fan.
Because Xu Yi didn't have enough experience in researching and developing magic machines when he first developed and manufactured magic fans, he was not able to reduce the cost of magic fans well.
Moreover, Xu Yi did not hire enough dwarf craftsmen at that time, and failed to develop enough magic machine tools for mass production, so most of the magic fan casings were made by the blacksmith shop in Bangta City, which made the cost of Further improve.
But even so, the sales profit margin of the first-generation magic fan still exceeds 50%.
As for the second-generation variable-speed magic fan, because the production process is more mature, and it is mass-produced by magic machine tools, while the cost is greatly reduced, the price has not changed compared with the first-generation magic fan, so the sales profit margin even exceeds 70%.
As for the farmland magic machinery, magic air conditioner, magic rice cooker, and now the magic lamp, no matter which one, the sales profit rate will not be lower than 70%.
That is to say, in less than half a year, the total sales revenue of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is an integer of 200,000 gold coins, so the total profit has reached an astonishing 140,000 gold coins!
Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also invested a lot during this period.
The most important of which is spent on research and development.
Xu Yi has always spared no effort to invest in the experimental research of new products, new technologies and new theories.
In the past six months, Xu Yi has invested a total of more than 20,000 gold coins in this area alone.
In addition, the operating costs of the Chamber of Commerce, including the salaries of the workers, consumed about 30,000 gold coins, and now there are 87,463 gold coins left on the account of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
For Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who started from scratch, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
But the money used to auction two iron mines is obviously far from enough.
After Xu Yi finished calculating in his heart, as soon as he raised his head, he just met the slightly confused gaze of Fuller Morgan, the chairman of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce in the distance.
