Chapter 29 The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Is Closing!
As soon as the Lord Kamadou drove away from Falling Star Manor in his private carriage, Seweney walked out from a hut in the manor that was closest to the garden.
Coming to Xu Yi's side, looking at the carriage running on the road in the distance from the manor for a while, Sevini frowned slightly and let out a soft sigh.
"He is still riding in a carriage. How can people believe that he is sincerely supporting the development of the magic industry and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Xu Yi glanced at Seweini in surprise.
"The angle you pay attention to is really strange... But about this point, everyone in Bangta City, including me, has long been aware of it. Although the Lord City Lord put on a supportive attitude on the surface, but What they did was clearly aimed at the entire magic industry, or more precisely, at our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
Seweini pondered for a moment, then asked again: "He said just now that he hoped that your chamber of commerce and the Kingdom Academy of Magic will cooperate. What is the specific method of cooperation?"
Xu Yi sneered: "The Lord City Lord made the request on behalf of King Eric and me. There are a lot of conditions, and there are also a lot of conveniences for our chamber of commerce. The research institute has fully opened up all related technologies of magic machines." "Fully open?" Seweney's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother... is he crazy?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I don't know about this. But during this period, the Lord Kamadou has approached me many times for this matter, each time with a harsher tone. You heard what he said just now. The Lord Lord Kamadou actually It is already threatening me. If I still choose to disobey... Your Royal Highness, what do you think... waiting for me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What kind of fate will it be?"
Sevini was silent for a while, and his expression gradually became serious.
"No! I can't let my brother do this! Not only is he breaking the basic rules in the kingdom, but it will also severely damage your chamber of commerce's confidence in the kingdom, and it will also have a great impact on the reputation of the royal family. I must have a good time with my brother. Discuss this issue, we must not let him go on like this!"
Xu Yi glanced at Seweini who rarely showed a trace of anger on his face. Shaking his head slightly.
"No, Sevini, you'd better not do this. The moment you announced that you had completely given up fighting for the throne, you had already lost this qualification. If you want to do this, it will inevitably cause His Majesty King Eric to Suspicion, it won't do you any good." "Then what should we do? Are you going to just accept it?" Sevini frowned and stared at Xu Yi. Suddenly shook his head vigorously. "No, Xu Yi, I understand you. You are not the kind of person who will give in easily. That's why you choose to gradually relocate the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and your family to the Principality of Standing. You want to give up the kingdom of Lampari. wrong?"
Xu Yi smiled. Neither admit it nor deny it.
"Then Your Highness... Now that you know this, do you plan to continue persuading me?"
Seweney fell silent again.
After a while, she smiled wryly and shook her head slightly.
"I don't know...Let me try it. If the eldest brother can follow my persuasion and correct his mistakes, there is still hope, isn't it?"
Xu Yi sighed softly in his heart, and didn't bother to persuade Seweini anymore.
Although Sevini was born in the royal family, he has always had a very naive temperament in Xu Yi's view.
If only Eric could correct the mistake by only listening to her persuasion. Then why are there so many things happening now?
In fact, in the final analysis, many measures may not be the original intention of King Eric, in Xu Yi's opinion. It's just a poor puppet dominated by a group of nobles in the kingdom.
Hearing the conversation between Lord Kamadu and Xu Yi with his own eyes, he witnessed that the actual situation in Bangta City was far from being as good as it seemed on the surface, and the good mood Sevini had when he first came here was gone.
She lost interest in continuing to play in Bangta City, and after a hasty lunch, she drove the silver-white car that Xu Yi gave her again after retiring from Bangta City. The magic car, which didn't look particularly outstanding in appearance, drove directly out of Bangta City.
Judging from the direction she left. She probably still didn't give up, but went straight to Anweimar City.
Xu can also be 100% sure. Her going to see King Eric this time will not have any effect, but he has no intention of dissuading him.
Just let Sevigny do his best--even if it's pointless.
After sending Sevini away, Xu Yi quickly returned to his busy working state.
The overall relocation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not as easy as it was when Baron Billier first came here.
At that time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only had two small factories, and there were only two production lines. If some magic machine tools and equipment were removed, the relocation would be basically completed.
Now, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has more than 500 people in its affiliated Magic Research Institute and Magic Machine Tool R&D Center, which is a huge scale.
It has been more than a month since Xu Yi decided to move them away, but the overall progress is only halfway through.
As for the other factories under the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce established in the Falling Rain Valley, there are as many as 37 factories. It is not just a question of how difficult it is to move them all, but it is simply impossible.
Xu Yi had just driven into the Rainfall Valley in his exclusive magic car. As soon as the car stopped, many workers in the uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce surrounded him.
"Aren't you going to work? What are you doing here?" Xu Yi got out of the car, looked around at the surrounding workers, and asked with a frown.
The workers looked at each other and hesitated for a while. A young woman who looked to be in her thirties and wore the work uniform of the bicycle foundry asked loudly: "Master Chairman, tell us the truth, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is Isn't it going to close?"
"That's right, Mr. President, are we really going to close the door? I finally got into our chamber of commerce. It's really closed, so let's go there to find a job."
"Master President, please, please don't close the door. Our family depends on my salary to survive. If this job is lost, then our whole family may have to drink Northwest Wind gone."
"That's right. Several chambers of commerce that produce magic machines have already closed down in the city. My younger brother has already lost his job. If I lose my job again, our family will be over."
"Master President, this can't be true, right? Huh?"
"Master President..."
...
Seeing the expectant expressions and panic in the eyes of the group of people around, Xu Yi frowned and scolded: "Who told you that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is going to close? Nonsense!"
"Then why both the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center have moved away? I also heard that the steelmaking plant and the Magic Machine Tool Workshop will also be moved away." The same young woman asked loudly.
"That's right, I've also heard that several workshops in the household magic machinery department are going to shut down."
"Master President..."
...
Xu Yi raised his hand, interrupted everyone's chatter, looked around, and said solemnly: "I am here to tell everyone solemnly. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a small chamber of commerce. Of course, it is impossible to close the door just by saying it. In addition, we I can also clearly tell everyone that our chamber of commerce is currently making good profits, um... in short, it can make a lot of money, have you not noticed that the orders in the workshop have not decreased, but have been increasing?"...
"But I've heard people say that if you make magic machines now, you'll lose money if you make one. The more you do, the more you'll lose."
Xu Yi gave the person who said this angrily a look: "If this is the case, I would have announced the suspension of work a long time ago. Why do I continue to do it even knowing that I will lose money, and even increase the order?"
"Well... that's true."
"That's right, the chairman is much smarter than us, how could he do such a stupid thing to lose money."
"Haha, let me just say, this is simply because we think too much."
...
Seeing the workers whose mood improved in an instant, Xu Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
These ordinary workers are really fooling around.
Of course, strictly speaking, he didn't lie to them either.
"Okay, everyone go back to work hard. The current changes of the chamber of commerce are just some actions made out of long-term considerations, and it does not mean that the chamber of commerce will be closed. Don't worry, even if all the other chambers of commerce in Bangta City are closed down, Neither will our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. How about it? Are you confident?"
The workers looked at each other and shouted in unison.
"Have confidence!"
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Yi waved his hand, and the workers looked at each other, laughed and dispersed.
After experiencing this little disturbance, Xu Yi hurried into the CEO's office and slapped Kennard's desk.
"Check it out, who spread these rumors." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
Kennard looked up at Xu Yi, and said quietly: "My lord, I'm afraid... this is not a rumor. Don't you just do these actions with the idea of closing the door in your heart?"
Xu Yi stared at Kennard with a serious expression.
"As I said, the relocation of the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center is only for long-term considerations and has nothing to do with other things. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally laid such a good foundation in Bangta City. How could I give up easily."
Kennard shook his head lightly: "Master President, are you unwilling to tell the truth even to me?"
"This is the truth." Xu Yi said seriously. "If someone wants to suck blood from us, let them suck it. As long as it doesn't suck us to death, then I'll let them keep sucking it. I'll see who can't last in the end."
Kennard looked at Xu Yi in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
Chairman, is this... a declaration of war?
