Chapter 32 Thornkeyton Manor
The factory of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City now has two large workshops with a total area of more than 3,000 square meters, as well as the previous two small workshops with a combined area of more than 1,000 square meters, plus offices and warehouses. It covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters.
After all, more than half of this hectare of leased territory has actually been used, and there is not enough room for the development of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, although Xu Yi just proposed to relocate, everyone in the chamber of commerce was taken aback, but the leadership of the chamber of commerce finally agreed with the decision after Xu Yi's analysis.
Of course, there are still a few complaints.
For example, Camby spit in disdain after hearing Baron Billier's request at the time: "Bah! Human beings are so dishonest!"
In this regard, the human beings of the leadership of several chambers of commerce headed by Xu Yi can only do it themselves, speechless.
The relocation of an entire factory is a huge and complicated project, especially in the factory of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there are all kinds of magic machine tools, any of which can weigh hundreds of kilograms or even more than one ton. an easy thing to do.
Fortunately, there are hundreds of dwarves in the factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. With the strength and physique of dwarves far exceeding that of ordinary humans, they really gave these big guys who could only be moved by lifting machinery on earth. One by one they got into the carriage.
Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to toss these magic machine tools just by relying on manpower.
For this relocation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only mobilized all employees, but also hired almost all the idle labor in Bangta City.
And that's not enough, Earl Satsuma even sent a full 500 city guards from Bangta City to assist in the relocation.
Watching the dwarves and the strong human beings all shirtless. Sweaty moving the big guys onto the big wagon. Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of regret.
If the magic lifting machine can be researched and developed in advance. Now maybe it won't be so troublesome.
Of course, no one could have expected that Baron Billier's request would come so suddenly, even if Xu Yi had already mentally prepared in advance, it was impossible to prepare everything so completely.
For now, he can only try his best to tell the person in charge of the relocation to pay attention to the matters that need to be paid attention to when relocating large-scale machinery and equipment, so as to minimize the loss.
"It's not just that these magic machines will be damaged by moving around, but the loss of your new flying chamber of commerce will be huge because of the suspension of production for a few days." Muen Crewe, president of the Amli Chamber of Commerce who came to hear the news Si looked at the fiery scene in front of him. But he sighed and said regretfully: "I also said to urge you to hurry up and complete the order for those magic concrete mixers from our chamber of commerce. Looking at it now, I am afraid it will be a while later."
"No way, I didn't expect unexpected events." Xu Yi shrugged.
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi, suddenly lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Hey, President Xu. I heard that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suddenly decided to relocate this time, because the new Baron Billier forced him to move. gone?"
Xu Yi glanced at him. Said indifferently: "President Cruise, you can't talk nonsense. This is a decision made by our New Flying Chamber of Commerce for the future development, and it has nothing to do with Baron Billier."
Seeing Xu Yi's expressionless face, President Cruise smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, this matter is clear to those who know a little bit of news in Bangta City, but since Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have chosen to remain silent, of course others will not risk offending Baron Billier or even Sri Lanka. The risk of the Tucker family took the initiative to poke it out.
If it weren't for the close ties between the Amli Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the personal relationship between President Cruise and Xu Yi is also very good, he would not have asked such a question at all.
"By the way, President Xu, I haven't asked you yet, where are you planning to move?" After a while of silence, President Cruise couldn't help but ask.
"According to my original plan, of course, I wanted to move directly to the Falling Rain Valley, and from then on once and for all, I would never have to worry about the factory land again. But President Cruise, the road to the Falling Rain Valley has only been built less than half? "Xu Yi asked back.
President Cruise stared: "What? Do you think we are slow to build? This is already the fastest speed under my personal supervision, and it is impossible to go faster. You guy has such high quality requirements, if I improve Speed, but there is no way to guarantee quality, then it will be strange that you don't ask me for trouble."
Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "No no no, you misunderstood, I don't mean to be slow. On the contrary, it's only been a month or so, and it's almost half repaired. In fact, it's very fast, fast. I'm really a little worried about the quality of the road. Of course, I have a lot of trust in President Cruise and the Amley Chamber of Commerce, and I believe that you will not be sloppy in the quality of the road. The reason why I ask this is just to say , even if I want to move these big guys to the Falling Rain Valley, there is nothing I can do. Do you think those broken dirt roads that don't even have gravel padding can allow these big guys to be transported in safely?"
President Cruise shook his head without hesitation: "Absolutely impossible. It's spring now, when it rains the most in a year, those broken dirt roads are now muddy, and these big guys press on them, and the wheels of the carriage guarantee instant You're stuck in it, you can't even move."
"That's it. So this time, although we're going to move, it's not too far away. Instead, we'll move to Sangqiton Manor, which is a little further away." Xu Yidao.
"Thornkeyton Manor?" President Cruise thought for a while, then looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "If I remember correctly, you bought this Thornkeyton Manor three months ago? Did you expect this to happen three months ago?"
"To be honest, it would be bragging to expect the current situation. But well... It's always right to prepare in advance." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "Now a temporary factory building has been built in this manor. Although the environment is a little rough, it is no problem to maintain normal production. So President Cruise, you don't have to worry too much, your magic concrete mixer will not Delays. Don't forget. The Sandy River renovation and the road construction in the Falling Valley need the help of these magic concrete mixers. And those two projects. They are projects that I value very much."
President Cruise looked at him as if he knew Xu Yi for the first time.
Thornton Manor is the private estate of Viscount Thornton. Because of the financial difficulties of the Viscount Sangkiton family, Viscount Sangkidun sold the manor to the public three months ago, and was finally purchased by Xu Yi at a high price of 370,000 gold coins.
At that time, people in Bangta City thought that Xu Yi must be crazy.
Although this Sangqiton manor is backed by mountains and rivers and has a quiet environment, it is really good to buy it as a leisure manor, but it is more than 15 kilometers away from Bangta City, which is really remote.
And the area of the manor is only more than two hectares, even if the interior is built very well by Viscount Sangqiton. But in any case, it is impossible to be worth as much as 370,000 gold coins.
According to the valuation of the nobles in Bangta City at that time, the price of this manor should be around 250,000 gold coins.
However, when the manor was put up for public auction, Xu Yi suddenly came out and participated in the auction.
Perhaps it was because he was dissatisfied with Xu Yi, an ordinary businessman, who wanted to buy this manor. Several nobles competed with Xu Yi to bid, and the bidding went up all the way. In the end, it was an astonishing 370,000 gold coins before the deal.
Three months ago, the overall valuation of the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City was only 500,000 gold coins, but Xu Yi took out 370,000 gold coins to buy a mere manor, which naturally made everyone feel that. Xu Yi must be crazy.
Even if the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have always been popular. Coupled with the high profit margin, the liquidity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is far more abundant than that of the general chamber of commerce. But taking out 370,000 gold coins in one breath is almost certain to empty the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Such an approach, for other businessmen and chambers of commerce, is almost foolish.
Even if many people thought that Xu Yi might want to buy a piece of their own territory for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the price is still a bit outrageous, and it is not a wise choice.
However, Xu Yi insisted on doing so.
At that time, President Cruise was very puzzled by this, and he had strongly persuaded Xu Yi, but Xu Yi was determined at that time, and he simply did not listen to the persuasion and bought the manor abruptly.
Today, three months later, when the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce was faced with the problem of having to relocate, President Cruise suddenly discovered how wise and far-sighted Xu Yi's decision to buy this manor was. .
In fact, if you just buy the manor itself, then this manor, which is only a little over two hectares, can only be estimated at 100,000 gold coins, or even less.
But this time, because Viscount Sankeyton's family was in desperate need of funds, the sale of the manor was a rare auction together with the territory where the manor was located.
Because the Lampari Kingdom has hardly ever divided land since its founding, any piece of territory owned by the nobles is extremely precious and will never be sold easily.
Viscount Sankeyton would not have made this decision if it were not really helpless.
Coupled with the sale of a piece of territory, this will make the valuation of this manor soar from less than 100,000 gold coins to about 250,000 gold coins.
And it is precisely because of this that Xu Yi encountered such a big obstacle when he shot this manor, and finally spent hundreds of thousands more than the estimated price to start.
Of course, looking at it now, this shooting is extremely cost-effective for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Owning a territory of one's own not only has a strong symbolic meaning, but also means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can get rid of the restriction that the factory is established on the territory of the Stark family.
At the very least, he will never be forced to relocate just because of Baron Billy's casual words.
Thinking of this, President Cruise couldn't help but look at Xu Yi with a hint of admiration.
With such a visionary president who is willing to make decisions on key issues, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will surely develop more smoothly than everyone imagined.
For Amley Chamber of Commerce, it is also a very fortunate thing to have such a contact partner.
President Cruise rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "President Xu, don't worry, not only do you attach great importance to the Sandy River reconstruction project and the Luoyu Valley road construction project, but I also attach great importance to it. If our Amley Chamber of Commerce can successfully complete this project. Two projects, it means that our Amli Chamber of Commerce has now mastered two engineering construction technologies that other chambers of commerce are simply unable to complete. Based on this alone, I should actually thank President Xu from the bottom of my heart. If not Your selfless help, we Amley Chamber of Commerce definitely have such opportunities and advantages."
"President Cruise, you are very polite. This is because your Amri Chamber of Commerce worked hard enough to seize this opportunity." Xu Yidao.
President Cruise laughed, and was about to say a few more polite words to Xu Yi, to further close the relationship between each other, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a few carriages slowly approaching in the distance.
In the middle of the carriage was the logo of the City Lord's Mansion, and on the carriage in the back was the badge of the Stark family.
President Cruise immediately shut up and pointed to Xu Yi in the direction of the carriage.
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at it, and smiled slightly: "The Lord of the City has invited Baron Billier over, is he planning to make him laugh at my current embarrassment?" (To be continued..)
