Chapter 132 Passionate Noble Ladies
At the end of the year, not only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will do a year-end summary and hold a year-end banquet, but Bangta City also needs it.
As in previous years, on the penultimate night of December, the City Lord's Mansion held a grand year-end banquet, inviting all the prominent figures in Bangta City to attend.
Xu Yi is naturally among them.
Compared to last year, Xu Yi was only invited by the Earl of Satsuma to attend the year-end banquet because of the contribution of the farmland magic machinery to the autumn harvest. This year, Xu Yi participated because he has now become a pivotal figure in Bangta City.
In the business circle of Bangta City, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gradually been compared with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, the Saranque Chamber of Commerce, the Amli Chamber of Commerce and the Armani Chamber of Commerce, and is known as the five major chambers of commerce in Bangta City.
Although the fact is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still far from being able to compare with the other four chambers of commerce with a long history and profound background in terms of scale and profit, no matter who it is, everyone can see that with the current development speed of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce , within a few years, it will inevitably catch up or even surpass the other four chambers of commerce.
And everyone knows that the development prospect of the magic machinery industry is extremely broad now. In addition to the gradual popularization in the Kingdom of Lampari, even several surrounding countries have also cast their attention.
The agreement reached between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Ruelson and the Principality of Standing has not been concealed from everyone. Now everyone knows that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has sold magic machinery to other countries, and even the Principality of Standing has actively used minerals. Come and invite the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to invest.
A country's mineral resources can be said to be the foundation of a country, and the Duchy of Standing is willing to use minerals to attract the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to his business success, what made everyone look at Xu Yi differently was his other identity—the kingdom baron status granted by His Majesty the King himself.
Although the baron is the lowest rank among the nobility, the baron Xu Yi was bestowed by His Majesty the King in front of countless people, and the noble council did not raise any objection to Xu Yi's businessman's identity, which is enough to reflect Xu Yi's Different.
Tonight attending the year-end banquet at the City Lord's Mansion are both large and small nobles in Bangta City, as well as large and small businessmen in the city. But Xu Yi is the only one who can hold both noble and businessman status in an upright manner.
So at the banquet, Xu Yi naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Of course, Xu Yi himself is not very willing to be the focus.
Although he has become familiar with and adapted to this kind of occasion because he has attended countless banquets in the past year or so, he still does not like this kind of occasion very much.
Moreover, Steele did not accompany Xu Yi to the year-end dinner tonight because he was feeling unwell. As soon as Xu Yi appeared at the banquet alone, countless young and beautiful noble ladies surrounded Xu Yi.
Many aristocratic ladies acted boldly, and they were actually "chi luo" who showed their love to Xu Yi in public, and even some of the most daring ones directly invited Xu Yi to spend time with her in front of everyone. a wonderful night...
Despite Xu Yi's outstanding determination, Yan Ci refused all invitations and expressions of love from the noble ladies. But they were still a little embarrassed by their entanglement.
After finally getting rid of the entanglement of these noble ladies, Xu Yi finally got a chance to breathe. Just after drinking a sip of juice to calm down, President Cruise came over again.
"Hey, young and handsome President Xu, surrounded by so many beautiful and noble noble ladies, do you feel extremely happy?" President Cruise said with an exaggerated smile.
Xu Yi glared at him angrily: "What is there to be happy about? Let you try to be entangled by them? It's strange. What happened to these noble ladies today? I've never seen them so warm to me before. "
"Don't you understand?" President Cruise glanced at the several noble ladies who were still staring at Xu Yi whispering from a distance, and said with a smile: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Although you were very young and handsome in the past, You are still very rich, but your identity is just an ordinary businessman after all. In the eyes of the nobles, no matter how powerful a businessman is, they are not enough to be a commoner, so even if the noble ladies love you to death, it is impossible for them to consider marrying you. you."
"In other words, I've become a baron now. I've also become a nobleman, so I have an equal status to marry these noble ladies?" Xu Yi asked amusingly.
"That's right." President Cruise pointed to the aristocratic ladies in the distance, and continued to tease: "Look, those noble ladies are looking at you with such fiery eyes now, I even suspect that they would like to slap you in one bite. Swallow it in your mouth and eat it. Actually...if I were you, I wouldn't mind having a little intimacy with one or a few of these beautiful ladies."
Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I don't plan to marry any of them, why should I have something to do with them."
"No no no. What happened? It has nothing to do with marrying them." President Cruise said as if he had come from the past: "The private lives of these noble ladies are far more chaotic than you think. They will never mind this kind of thing. On the contrary, if you have anything to do with them, you will become the capital of their boasting in front of their friends. So if you want, you can choose one of them tonight , or even a few to spend a wonderful night."
"Forget it, I'm not interested." Xu Yi shook his head, took a sip of his drink, turned his head away from the noble ladies whose eyes were still very warm, and said to President Cruise, "You came to me, yes Didn't you decide the time to leave?"
Seeing Xu Yi talking about the business, President Cruise also straightened his face and nodded: "Yes. If there is no accident, I can set off on the fourth day of the new year, how about you?"
"Well... I will definitely go to Steele's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day, and then I will come to the City Lord's Mansion on the second day, and then meet various colleagues... Well, if you hurry up, the fourth day should be about the same." Xu Yidao .
"Well, let's take another day to buffer, and set off on the fifth day."
"That's fine. Although I'll miss the New Year's banquet, I can't put it off any longer. Two days ago, Anklu sent me a letter, urging me to leave for the Principality of Standing. , I'm worried that he will go directly to Bangta City to arrest me." Xu Yi said with a smile.
President Cruise laughed: "Of course he is in a hurry. The climate of the Principality of Standing is different from that of our Kingdom of Lampari. It is true that only winter is suitable for starting work, and there are too many uncertain factors at other times. But even if you rush now In the past, it was impossible to really start investment and construction this winter, and he urged you to go there, just to show an attitude."
Xu Yi nodded: "I also understand this. But since he has already shown this attitude, I must also show my sincerity. After all, not only the Principality of Standing wants to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce. I am actually eager to cooperate with They work together."
President Cruise thought for a while, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Xu Yi, in fact, I still don't quite understand, why are you willing to cooperate with the Principality of Standing? The environment in this Principality is quite bad. Even if you need a lot of mineral resources, these things are not only in our kingdom of Lampari. There are many, and there are also many in the Ruerson Kingdom. I think if you discuss it with President Newman, it is not impossible to cooperate with the Ruerson Kingdom. "
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I have sold the cement production technology, but I don't want to sell all the other technologies."
President Cruise passed an embarrassed expression: "You will still invest in the Ruelson Kingdom one day, won't you?"
"Yes, I'll go one day, but not now. As for when... I'll wait for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I to be strong enough." Xu Yi took a sip of his drink and turned his head, but he didn't look at Ruhr to the south. The direction of the Sun Kingdom, but to the east. "Not only the Duchy of Standing and the Kingdom of Ruelson. When the time is right, I will invest in every country on this continent."
"Your ambition is always so lofty." President Cruise shook his head. "I'm almost fifty years old this year, and I don't know if I can see your new flight chamber of commerce develop to this stage."
Xu Yi smiled and touched the glass with him, and joked: "Why don't you start learning magic from now on, as long as you become a great magician, your lifespan will naturally be extended, and you should have a chance to see that day."
President Cruise laughed: "Let's leave this kind of thing to you, I'll forget it. Speaking of it, President Xu, you can really be regarded as the most special chamber of commerce president on this continent. That's all, you are still so young, and at the same time a powerful magician. I always hear the great magician of Camilla say that you are very likely to become a great magician. Then I think, when you become a great magician After a great magician, just relying on the identity of the great magician is enough to make those noble ladies fall into their arms, right?"
"Maybe I have already become an old man when I became a great magician. Even if the noble ladies take the initiative to come over, maybe I will not have the energy to accept them." Xu Yi also laughed.
"Seriously, President Xu. The sooner you can become a great magician, the greater the benefits, so I, like the great magician Camilla, hope you can become a great magician as soon as possible." Cruise will Long straight. "If you were the Archmage, we'd have much less trouble in the Black Rice Wasteland."
"Have you also received the news that the orc tribe has moved?" Xu Yi asked back with a smile.
"That's right. President Reelsa told me this news. According to the information he received, some orc tribes in the Black Rice Wasteland knew from nowhere that we humans were going to invest in the Werewolf tribe of Woller. Factory, and also paid a large sum of money for the Woller werewolf tribe, so these orcs also want to come and see if they can get any oil and water." President Cruise said with some worry: "Although President Reelsa It is said that these orcs dare not hurt human lives, but I am worried that if they make trouble, it will delay a lot of progress and increase our losses."
"This is a question that needs to be considered. Have you thought of any way to deal with it?" Xu Yi asked.
"There is no good solution for the time being. I can only listen to President Reelsa's suggestion and let the escort of the Chamber of Commerce go to the Black Rice Wasteland with the workers to ensure the safety of the workers as much as possible." Speaking of this, President Cruise suddenly remembered something. "By the way, President Xu, it seems that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has not established any escort team yet?"
"Guards?" Xu Yi frowned and shook his head. "The kingdom is currently calm, and our Chamber of Commerce has not encountered a situation that requires a escort team, so I haven't thought about it at all. Listening to you, is it necessary to establish a escort team?"
"That's for sure." President Cruise said with a look of course. "How can there be a chamber of commerce on this continent that doesn't have its own escort team? Although the kingdom has been peaceful these past few years, when there was a great turmoil more than ten years ago, there were still bandits everywhere in the kingdom. Besides, You said just now that you want to spread the business of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to every part of the mainland, and it is impossible without the escort team. You can't guarantee that your goods will be robbed wherever they go."
"Is it that serious?" Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It seems that I was negligent in the past. This is indeed an issue that needs attention. Well, taking advantage of this opportunity to go to the Black Rice Wasteland to deal with those orcs, I will build a escort team."
President Cruise was stunned: "Are you going to build a escort team in such a short period of time? Where did you find so many suitable candidates?"
Xu Yi smiled: "Don't forget, our chamber of commerce is suitable and has advantages that many chambers of commerce do not have."
President Cruise was a little strange at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized.
