Chapter 129 Please Stay One More Day

No matter how much the old Earl Longley thought of the common people, he was unwilling to spend extravagantly, but after all, he was still a nobleman with status, and some things were unavoidable.

For example... a large private estate that is necessary for every noble family...

"President Xu, please come in." Earl Longley enthusiastically invited Xu Yi into the gate of the manor, and called a few servants to entertain the magic motorcycle and the staff of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the convoy behind and settle them down. "The condition of this manor is not very good, please forgive me, Chairman Xu."

Xu Yi shook his head and smiled, "Anyway, it's much more convenient than camping in the wild, isn't it?" After a pause, Xu Yi quietly added. "What's more, in this manor, there is no need to worry about any danger."

Earl Longley paused, glanced at Xu Yi, hesitated for a while, looked around, and signaled Xu Yi to come with him.

The two entered a hut on the side of the manor alone. After the servants gave them hot tea, Earl Longley waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "President Xu, it was you who were attacked last night. ?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Why do you say sure enough?"

"Because I've been chasing after your convoy since yesterday, but I saw something this morning..." Earl Longley frowned. "A regrettable scene..."

"Is it just a pity?" Xu Yi carefully observed the expression on Earl Longley's face, trying to see from his expression what connection he had with this matter.

However, although the expression on Earl Longley's face was complicated, most of them were bitter and helpless, and the rest showed concern for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that was attacked.

"President Xu. I understand. You may doubt me because of our previous position in Batru City. But on this matter, please believe me, I am indeed deeply regretful and angry." Earl Longley paused , changed the topic. "President Xu, your loss last night...is it serious?"

"It's very serious." Xu Yi's face darkened, with a painful expression. "In the attack last night, our chamber of commerce lost three loyal guards. I am deeply saddened and indignant about this. When I return to Anweimar City, I will definitely report this matter to the Kingdom Council in detail. , Get the compensation they deserve for these three guards."

Earl Longley was taken aback: "Only lost three guards?"

Xu Yi glanced at him lightly: "Only? Earl Longley, in my opinion, all the guards are valuable employees of our chamber of commerce, and we cannot afford to lose any of them."

"Ah no, President Xu, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything. It's just..." Earl Longley waved his hand, the expression on his face still a bit incredulous. "In that case, you actually only lost three guards... I have to say that the combat effectiveness of your guards from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really outstanding."

"What? Earl Longley, do you know what happened last night?"

Earl Longley shook his head hastily: "No, no. I just calculated it based on the traces of the battlefield observed in the morning. If I'm not wrong, it's probably a group of elite cavalry who raided you..."

"Did you figure this out?" Xu Yi looked at Earl Longley. The expression on his face was like a smile but not a smile.

Seeing that Xu Yi kept putting on a posture of disbelief, Earl Longley smiled helplessly, not knowing how to continue for a while.

He didn't speak, but Xu Yi also watched him not speak, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

After the awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, Earl Longley coughed dryly, put a smile on his face again, and asked Xu Yi, "President Xu, your destination this time is Sewell City, right?"

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded.

"Last time I went to Serwell City to meet Earl Summer. He mentioned that he would invite your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to invest in Sewell City. Is it related to these?"

"That's right." Xu Yi put down his teacup, glanced at Earl Longley, and thought that he took the initiative to ask about this matter. Could it be that he had some special thoughts as he had speculated before?

Earl Longley pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Then President Xu, can you tell me how much money your chamber of commerce plans to invest in Sewell City this time?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, and stretched out a finger: "The initial estimated investment is one million gold coins."

"One million gold coins?" Earl Longley opened his eyes slightly, and his breathing suddenly became a little short. It seemed that even in his capacity as the lord of a city, he was shocked by this amount. "It's still just the beginning?"

"Yes. Our ultimate goal is to build a production base belonging to our chamber of commerce in Sewell City, and use Sewell City as the center of our chamber of commerce in the northeast of the kingdom to radiate the entire northeast of the kingdom, and even here Complete the trade interaction between the Chamber of Commerce and several surrounding countries and regions. One million gold coins can only be regarded as an initial investment, and in the final estimate, I think the total investment should not be less than five million gold coins." Xu Yidao.

"Five million gold coins..." Earl Longley sighed softly, his tone full of surprise and admiration. "President Xu, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really rich and powerful. You are willing to invest such a huge amount of five million gold coins just in the city of Sewell."

Xu Yi chuckled and said, "I'm a businessman. The purpose of investing money is naturally to make money. I am confident that if I invest five million gold coins in Sewell City, I will earn far more than five million gold coins in the future. "

"I believe President Xu, you can do it." Earl Longley nodded, and asked again: "But President Xu, can I ask one more question?"

"Excuse me."

"Your Chamber of Commerce has decided to invest five million gold coins in Sewell City. Although I believe that President Xu, you are indeed capable of earning back much more gold coins than you invested, but where do you plan to invest the five million gold coins? Where are you going? Can Sewell City develop as quickly as Bangta City with the funds invested by your chamber of commerce?" Earl Longley asked seriously.

"I'm not 100% sure about this. Whether a city can develop rapidly, in addition to the need for capital investment, the most important thing is that the person who makes the decision must be strong enough. Of course. Earl Samo used to be the city lord of Bangta City I have a lot of good experiences working with him. I believe that we can still cooperate very happily in Sewell this time. I think that as long as we can deal with some details, the rapid development of Sewell can be achieved. expected."

Hearing Xu Yi's answer, Earl Longley fell into deep thought.

Although the expression on his face didn't change much, from his ever-changing eyes and unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table, it can be seen that his heart is constantly struggling at the moment.

After a while, until the tea in Xu Yi's cup was about to cool down. Earl Longli stopped his fingers, his eyes gradually turned firm, and he looked at Xu Yi with a smile and said, "President Xu, since you finally came to our city of Batru, can you stay here for one more day and let me treat you well?" What about your rare guest?"

Xu Yi took a meaningful look at Earl Longley: "Earl Longley, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to keep me here as your guest?"

Earl Longli smiled slightly: "Now you are already guests here, what's the inconvenience? And I do have a lot of things to ask you, President Xu, and I hope that President Xu will give you the face to stay here for a day."

Xu Yi seemed to be thinking about it. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Okay. Seeing Earl Longley's kind invitation, my subordinates and I will stay here for one more day. As for asking for advice, Earl Longley, you are too polite. If you have anything to discuss with me If so, please speak up."

The smile on Earl Longley's face became brighter: "It must be."

"Snapped--"

From the hands of Master Panda, the exquisite natural amber jade bottle that was bought by Earl Will at a high price of 13,000 gold coins at the last Anweimar auction fell heavily on the ground, instantly breaking into pieces all over the floor.

The servants around were startled, but they didn't dare to show any strange expressions on their faces. They could only lower their heads deeply, not even daring to take a breath.

They all knew that when Earl Will was furious, it was best not to be noticed by him, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

Lewan, the clerk of the City Lord's Mansion of Raimate City, frowned and glanced at the fragments of the jade bottle on the ground, and waved his hand. Several servants immediately walked out quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Seeing that the last servant who went out closed the door very obediently, Lewan waited for a while, and then said to Earl Will: "My lord, you should make a decision."

"Decision? I'm making a fart!" Earl Will shouted angrily. "Attacked the convoy of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at night on my site? It even attracted the bastards from the Sac Kingdom! This fucking is all about trying to kill me! Michelle, this thing must be That old fox did it! I can't stop talking to him!"

Lewan frowned deeply, thought for a while, and sighed: "My lord, if Count Michel really did this, then I don't think we can get any evidence. And..." Lewan With a wry smile, he continued: "I suspect that he may have done this at the behest of His Highness the Prince."

"Inscription from His Royal Highness?" Earl Will was startled, thought for a while, and there was a bone-chilling chill in his eyes. "Why does His Royal Highness want to kill me? What good does it do him?"

"No, His Royal Highness may have just ordered the removal of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Earl Michel's choice to do so in our Lamart City is only his own decision." Lewan analyzed. "Count Michelle has been competing with you, City Lord, for the dominance of the Northeast Province. If he can bring you down through this matter, then his goal will be achieved. Even if he can't directly bring you down, as long as this matter makes you The Kingdom Council is wary of you, and that will also allow him to achieve his goal."

"He has a good idea!" Earl Will snorted coldly, walked around the room a few times in thought, and waved to Lewand.

Lewand leaned over immediately.

Earl Will pressed against his ear and said softly, "Listen well, this time you go..."

After listening to Earl Will's order, Lewan looked at him in surprise.

If you really follow Earl Will's order, wouldn't it mean a complete break between Lamart City and Durekton City?

But seeing Earl Will's gloomy face and the fierce look in his eyes, Lewan dared not say anything.

He knew very well that Earl Will in this state was the most dangerous. (To be continued..)
