Chapter 75 Unreasonable Request

This meal was a delight. Go up if you like.

In order to try to show his apology, Mercado deliberately invited Erica to a new high-end restaurant outside the Falling Rain Valley, and displayed the demeanor that he considered the most gentleman. Topic, try to create a good atmosphere.

In addition, Mercado is actually a humorous person, so Erica also felt very happy during the meal, and the two talked very happily.

After the lunch was over, Mercado used the excuse that he would continue to ask questions about the magic locomotive with Erica's consent, and he could come to her at any time.

After sending Erica back to work in the Falling Rain Valley, Mercado couldn't help showing a complacent smile when he saw Erica's slender figure as she left.

I didn't expect that because of this accident, I would meet such a rare beauty as Erica, and I was extremely lucky.

However, as soon as he thought of the magic locomotive, Mercado instantly put down the mess in his mind, turned around and left the Falling Rain Valley, and went straight to a new medium-sized magic bus that just drove from Bangta City to the Falling Rain Valley. Now, after changing to a new medium-sized magic bus, it only takes a little more than two hours for a trip to arrive. Because it saves nearly half of the time, it is quickly welcomed by everyone.

At the beginning, Philson Cars only used a medium-sized magic bus for trial operation on each bus line, and because it was too novel, many people did not dare to accept it at first.

But once they tried to sit and experience it once, everyone found out. Compared with the carriage, this passenger magic locomotive is much stronger than the carriage in terms of comfort and the most important speed.

So just after half a month of trial operation, countless people strongly demanded that Philson Cars and Horses change all the buses and carriages into medium-sized magic buses.

Many people even suggested that they would refuse to ride if the Philsons continued to use buses and wagons.

As a result, on the bus lines that Filson's carriage and horses are now running, medium-sized magic buses are increasingly appearing instead of horse-drawn carriages. Of course, the bus line connecting Bangta City to Rainfall Valley was immediately replaced by medium-sized magic buses from the Felson car dealership.

two hours later. Mercado jumped out of the medium-sized magic bus and headed straight for the newly built Philson Motors Headquarters outside the city of Bonta.

This headquarters was completed and put into use just last month. The most important reason is that the bus system of Bangta City is becoming more and more mature, resulting in more and more bus carriages and new bus magic locomotives that Philson Cars and Horses need to manage. , continue to be established in Bangta City. It will appear that the place is too small, and even if you want to remodel it, it will be difficult.

This is also a trend emerging in Bangta City now.

With the rapid development of Bangta City, the small Bangta City in the past has become more and more closed and crowded, so many businesses and even ordinary residents in the city have begun to relocate outside Bangta City.

Moreover, when Earl Summer served as the city owner two years ago, he had already proposed the concept of rebuilding the new urban area of ​​Bangta City. Now the roads outside Bangta City have been densely paved, which is in line with the continuous efforts of the Amli Chamber of Commerce for several years. The suburbs outside Bangta are now extremely well-equipped.

If you really want to compare it, the conditions in the new city outside the city are actually much better than those in the city of Bangta. Not only is it much more spacious, but also there are more and more convenient auxiliary facilities - such as street lamps that can be seen everywhere.

And now Earl Stark, the guy who hindered the development of Bonta City, has finally left, and to everyone's surprise, Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny is the city lord. Immediately, the vitality of Bangta City that had been held back for a whole year burst out. Within a month after Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny took over as the city lord, the new city outside the city seemed to change every day. Compared with last year, it is almost completely different. became a whole new look.

The new headquarters of Filson Cars and Horses is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the new city outside the city. It is about two kilometers away from the west gate of the old town of Bangta City. It covers an extremely wide area, almost the size of the old town of Bangta one-fifth of .

Mercado entered the headquarters gate and went straight to the central office area. After showing the certificate to the receptionist, he soon saw President Pomperi in the chairman's exclusive office on the top floor.

"Come on, Mercado, please take a seat." Seeing Mercado coming in, Pomberg pointed to the seat opposite with a smile and motioned him to sit down.

Judging from President Pomperi's unceremonious behavior, he knew that it was not the first time that Mercado had met him.

After Mercado bowed slightly, he sat down opposite President Pomperi, took out from his arms the contract for the purchase of a medium-sized magic bus that had just been signed in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and handed it over.

"Oh? Already bought it?" President Pomberg took a glance at the contract and sighed: "It seems that President Xu is really treating you well, obviously we haven't completed our chamber of commerce and several large chambers of commerce in the city. order, but forced to squeeze out one and sell it to you.”

Mercado hurriedly smiled and said: "President Xu is a very personable person. Knowing that I want to buy a medium-sized magic bus as a free rental, he is very supportive to me. When I came to find you, President Pompeii, or President Xu recommended."

President Pomperi nodded: "Well, if it wasn't for you holding President Xu's recommendation letter, I probably wouldn't have seen you." After saying that, he glanced at Mercado, smiled, and continued: "Actually, seriously. Get up, this thing you want to do, and our chamber of commerce can be regarded as a kind of competitor relationship, and I should not see you even more."

Mercado immediately said with a flattering smile: "President Pomperi, you are as grand as President Xu, and of course you won't refuse a small person like me to eat with you."

"Don't flatter me, I admit that I'm not as good as President Xu." President Pomperi shook his head, glanced at the contract in his hand again, and returned it to Mercado. Continued: "To be honest, since President Xu values ​​you so much and says that the taxi industry has a bright future, then I believe that this industry must be very promising. In this case, follow my previous practice. Then I will definitely take this industry into my own hands. How can I let you snatch it away from me. "

Merkadu smiled awkwardly, not daring to let out the air.

In front of Erica, of course, he can do it freely, but when he is facing a big man like President Pompey. But really nervous.

No way, although he can be considered a small fortune now, and can even afford a magic locomotive worth more than 800 gold coins, but compared with President Pomperi, who controls the Philson car dealership, Undoubtedly the difference is too great.

thought here. He suddenly remembered that when he communicated with President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he didn't seem to feel so nervous.

It seems that President Xu is born with a temperament that can make people feel relaxed in front of him unconsciously and have a sense of trust in him.

This... is probably the temperament of a real big man, right?

Naturally, President Pomperi didn't know that a single word of his own made Mecador instantly have so many thoughts. He glanced at the slightly flattering smile on Mercador's face, and nodded with satisfaction.

"However, when I was discussing this matter with President Xu. He has always emphasized to me to give other people some room for development. I agree with him very much, so this will give you this opportunity to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce. So You have to remember that although this opportunity was mainly won by you, don’t forget the role that President Xu played in it.”

Mercado nodded again and again: "I will definitely. I will definitely not forget the help that President Xu has given me. Of course, in my mind, it is President Pomperi who has helped me the most, and I will definitely follow you in the future. I will do what you want me to do.”

President Pomperi waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated, since I decided to let you do this thing, then you can do it well. Come, take a look at this cooperation agreement first, if there is no problem, just sign it first. "

Mercado took over the agreement, read it carefully, and confirmed that all the above terms were roughly determined according to the results of his previous discussions with President Pomperi.

Although there are some subtle differences in some places, the overall impact is not large, and even some differences are his advantage.

After reading the agreement, Mercado had a hint of gratitude on his face, and nodded to President Pomperi: "No problem."

"Okay, just sign it if there is no problem," said President Pomperi.

Mercado took the pen handed over by President Pomperi, and was about to sign his name at the end of the agreement, but suddenly a move in his heart, he opened the agreement, and carefully read one of the clauses twice. , hesitated for a moment, pointed to this clause and looked at President Pompey.

"This... President Pompeii, I bought this magic locomotive privately. I don't need to go to your Pompeii Chamber of Commerce every year to report for overhaul and accept the qualification review, right? When we talked last time, can you? It wasn't mentioned."

President Pomperi glanced at the clause and said casually: "Oh, this is not what I meant, but he put it up when I discussed this with President Xu last time. The reason for this is , is to regulate, to make your private magic locomotive easy to manage, and also for the sake of our Bangta City, it doesn't actually affect you that much."

Mercado frowned: "It's a bit... a bit unnecessary, right? This is a magic locomotive that I bought myself. If anyone wants to rent it, just find me. It shouldn't have anything to do with others, right? Why do you have to report it every year? Do you need to review the qualifications for maintenance?"

President Pomperi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me, I actually don't understand why President Xu is so strict in this regard. But you don't have to think against this, even our Philson car. All the magic locomotives used by the horse shop must abide by the regulations he proposed, so don't expect to resist."

"Then you didn't protest to President Xu?" Mercado asked in disbelief.

President Pomperi frowned, glanced at Mercado, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "I won't do so much like you. President Xu has said that this is for the sake of the safety regulations of the entire industry. In the long run, It's for the sake of the healthy development of the entire industry. I trust his judgment, so I have no objection. As for you... If you don't want to accept it, I don't mind your refusal to sign this agreement."

Mercado was stunned. He didn't expect President Pomperi to be so tough in this regard. After thinking about it, he didn't say more, picked up the pen and owed his name at the end of the agreement.

However, until he and President Pomperi completed this agreement and walked out of the gate of the headquarters of Philson's car dealership, he still couldn't understand.

Why did President Xu make such an unreasonable request? What is even more strange is why such a big man as President Pompey of Philson's car dealership actually agreed to this kind of request? )
