Chapter 14 New Profit Growth Points
"Haha, President Xu, it's been a long time." Earl Stark greeted Xu Yi with a very enthusiastic smile.
Different from the obvious hostility to Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who just succeeded the city lord of Bangta City more than a month ago, today's Earl Stark is like a different person, and after seeing Xu Yi, he is even more like him. Seeing the old friend, his enthusiastic appearance caused the eyes of the people around him to widen involuntarily.
Xu Yi also didn't show a tit-for-tat look when he first saw him, but with a very kind smile, he greeted him and bowed respectfully to Earl Stark.
"Lord City Lord, it is a great honor for you to go out to greet me in person."
"Where, President Xu, you are a distinguished guest I specially invited to you today. Of course, you have to greet me well. Come, please come in." Earl Stark made a gesture of invitation to Xu Yi, and his eyes fell on the person behind him. Doubtful eyes flashed across De Lier.
"This is the business manager of the plastic processing factory under our chamber of commerce, Miss Delier." Xu Yi explained immediately. "As you can see, she is an elf from the Nightsong tribe."
Facing De Lier, Count Stark was not so enthusiastic, just nodded slightly to De Lier, and took the lead in walking towards the city lord's mansion.
Xu Yi walked into the familiar banquet hall behind Earl Stark, and at a glance, he saw the presidents of other major chambers of commerce in Bangta City who had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing that Earl Stark had personally brought Xu Yi in, President Cruise, who was not far away, greeted Xu Yi Yang with his hand, and there was a hint of mockery in the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Of course, this was not for Xu Yi, but because of Count Stark's actions.
In the short period of more than a month that Count Stark succeeded the city lord of Bangta City, because of the policy he vigorously promoted to suppress business and promote agriculture, the chambers of commerce in Bangta City suffered varying degrees of suppression.
Among them, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amli Chamber of Commerce, which were the first to express their advance and retreat with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, were most directly targeted. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly evacuated from Bangta City. The losses are not strictly too serious. The Amri Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, was too deeply rooted in Bangta City to be completely withdrawn in a short period of time, so the impact was much greater and the losses were also much greater.
because this. President Cruise was very dissatisfied with Earl Stark. Now that he saw him, he had to change his attitude, and forced the presidents of the major chambers of commerce to gather together tonight. Even going out to meet Xu Yi in person, President Cruise is naturally happy.
Because in his opinion, this clearly means that Earl Stark has been forced to lower his proud head.
In this regard, President Cruise is very gloating.
Except for President Cruise. The presidents of other major chambers of commerce in the hall also greeted Xu Yi when they saw Xu Yi come in.
Although no one was as obvious as President Cruise, but judging from the relaxed smiles on everyone's faces, they were also excited that Count Stark could change his attitude.
In the final analysis, these chambers of commerce are the Chambers of Commerce in Bangta City. As the lord of Bangta City, Earl Stark would like to continue the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture if he is determined. If the major chambers of commerce are suppressed, although these chambers of commerce have different forces behind them, there are not many better ways to compete with Count Stark.
But then again, it is precisely because these major chambers of commerce have different forces behind them. Earl Stark's suppression of the major chambers of commerce has caused losses to the forces behind them, so although Earl Stark represents the will of the stubborn old school in the Lampari Kingdom this time, and has the support of the Stark family, he Don't dare to do things absolutely, but must make compromises.
But he didn't go out to meet anyone in person, only to meet Xu Yi, which was really intriguing.
After Xu Yi entered the banquet hall, three more groups of guests arrived, and all the guests were present. Count Stark came to the stage and made a brief opening speech, and announced the official start of the banquet.
President Cruise found Xu Yi for the first time.
"Hey, President Xu, is our beloved Lord of the City trying to set you up as a target?" President Cruise asked.
"It shouldn't be." Xu Yi shook his head. "Everyone knows that there is no possibility of reconciliation between me and him, so no one will doubt me. He did this simply to show me his attitude."
"His attitude? Don't you think he will turn his head to show support for you?" said President Cruise.
"That's obviously impossible. According to my guess, this time he just wants to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce to relieve his pressure."
"What does he have to do with you?"
"You should ask him about this." Xu Yi shrugged and turned slightly to reveal Delier who was behind him. "Come on, don't discuss this meaningless thing, let me introduce to you, this is..."
"Miss De Lier, right? We met when Miss Steele came to Bonta City with her last time." President Cruise cut off Xu Yi's hu, bowed slightly, and greeted Deli. Er stretched out his right hand. "Nice to see you again, beautiful Miss Derek."
De Lier hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to let President Cruise complete his kiss, and responded, "I am also very happy to meet you, Your Excellency President Cruise. Miss Steele last time. Introduced to me and said that you are President Xu's best partner."
President Cruise laughed: "Of course. If you don't believe me, ask President Xu, besides me, can he find a more intimate partner in Bangta City?"
Xu Yi smiled and said: "President Cruise is right, for now, the cooperative relationship between our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Amli Chamber of Commerce is the closest. After the Lee Chamber of Commerce goes to other countries to develop, can it continue to maintain this cooperative relationship with us?"
President Cruise's expression changed, and he didn't care about Xu Yi's ridicule in his words, and asked Xu Yi, "Have you and Newman already negotiated?"
"It hasn't been fully negotiated, but I don't think it's a big deal. Newman asked me to persuade you before leaving. I hope your Amley Chamber of Commerce can recruit more of their local workers in the Ruerson Kingdom, so that you can It is more convenient for them to support you." Xu Yidao.
"You promised him?"
"So I'm not trying to persuade you?" Xu Yi said with open arms.
President Cruise was slightly startled: "Why did you agree to the suggestion? Don't you know that if you recruit local workers from the Ruelson Kingdom, the technology unique to our Chamber of Commerce will be stolen sooner or later?"
"Technology is actually here. It's not that easy to be stolen." Xu Yi pointed to his head. "What's more, if you want to maintain a leading position, the best way is not to prevent technology leakage, but to vigorously develop new technologies on this basis, and always maintain your own technological leadership. Remember. Technology is the foundation of industry. ."
"You said it nicely." President Cruise said with a wry smile. "You don't have to worry about this. That's because there are too many technologies that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is completely leading, and they are not afraid of losing one or two. And the leading technology unique to our Amley Chamber of Commerce is not much at all. It is impossible to be like you. luxury."
"Have you ever heard a sentence called technology in exchange for market?" Xu Yi asked again.
"What's the meaning?"
"Simply put, it is to release its own unique technology, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by this technology. In order to impress everyone with this technology and make everyone need this technology. Now, there will naturally be a market that needs this technology. As far as your Amley Chamber of Commerce is concerned, the faster you can build a complete road traffic network, the better it will be for your Chamber of Commerce's interests." Xu Yidao .
President Cruise frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded lightly: "Maybe you are right, but I don't think you need to be so anxious. As long as our chamber of commerce persists in paving the road. Sooner or later, a complete road traffic network will be built. At that time, everyone will still really feel the convenience brought by the road, and the business of our chamber of commerce will still not be bad.”
Xu Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Compared with him, President Cruise can be a real businessman. He wants the Amley Chamber of Commerce to quickly pave the road and build a complete road transportation network in order to further advance his next step, but from the perspective of the Amley Chamber of Commerce, he is of course unwilling to do so.
Because in this way, it is equivalent to compressing their total profit and shortening their profit cycle.
For an old-fashioned chamber of commerce with a history of more than 100 years, such as the Amley Chamber of Commerce, it is natural to pay more attention to its long history.
Xu Yi knew that words alone would never convince President Cruise.
In the words he taught Delier just now, the only thing that can impress a businessman is interest.
"Alright then, Cruise, let's negotiate a deal." Xu Yi thought for a while.
Hearing Xu Yi's rare omission of the title "President" in his title, President Cruise raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that what Xu Yi was about to say must be very important, he suddenly looked cautious and pointed to Xu Yi Nodding his head, he said solemnly, "Let's talk."
"If your Amli Chamber of Commerce can complete the laying of all roads and roads in the Kingdom of Lampari, Ruelson, and the Duchy of Standing, as well as the Black Rice Wasteland within five years, then I will help your Chamber of Commerce. To develop an extremely stable and promising profit growth point, what do you think of this transaction?" Xu Yi asked.
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi incredulously. If it wasn't for Xu Yi's solemn expression, he would have thought that Xu Yi was joking.
If the transaction Xu Yi said involved money, technology and other practical items, then he would not be surprised, but he did not expect that Xu Yi would actually open his mouth and say that he would give them a profit growth point for the Chamber of Commerce?
He thought this thing was something he could have by just saying it?
If there is such a good thing, why doesn't Xinfei Chamber of Commerce use it?
"Because our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will only focus on the magic industry. Although this profit growth point has good prospects and has almost infinite potential, it actually belongs to the business scope of your Amri Chamber of Commerce. I have no interest in intervening." Xu Yi said sternly. .
President Cruise looked at Xu Yi in confusion for a long time: "It belongs to the business scope of our chamber of commerce? Don't you mean building a house?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Yes, it's building a house."
