Chapter 79 Are We Friends?
Going to a small hall in the back with President Lanke, Xu Yi found that there were already five other people sitting there, and it was not the two of them who had secretly chatted in private as he thought.
His eyes swept across the faces of these people in the room, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that this President Lanke didn't go around in circles with himself at all, and directly found these people, is it going to showdown tonight? ?
But after thinking about it, whether it is Xu Yi or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in the eyes of President Lanke and the people present, I am afraid that it is not worth mentioning, so there is no need to dawdle with myself, it is better to explain it directly.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xu Yi's mouth couldn't help but flash a slightly mocking smile.
"Come on, President Xu, please take a seat." President Lanke made a gesture of invitation to Xu Yi, and then pointed to the few people present. "Let me introduce to you, these people are..."
Xu Yi raised his hand to stop President Lanke's movements, and said with a smile: "President Lanke, these are the most famous big businessmen in our Bangta City, if I don't even know them, What qualifications are there to open a business association? You mean? President Morgan?"
Xu Yi's gaze was a middle-aged man with a medium build and gray hair. He was exactly the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce that Xu Yi talked about with Viscount Leslie before. Morgan.
Seeing Xu Yi taking the initiative to talk to him, President Morgan's face flashed with surprise, and then he laughed: "President Xu, you are joking. In terms of fame, which chamber of commerce is there in Bangta City now? The limelight can match your new flight chamber of commerce? Your name, President Xu Yixu, often appears in the "Bangta Daily", not to mention our peers, I am afraid that the ordinary civilians in Bangta City will not know it. , no one knows about it, right?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, shrugged and said, "Actually, I want to do business honestly and ignore other messy things, but Baron Haines always said that there is news to be discovered about our new flight chamber of commerce, and I always wanted to report it. I can't do anything about our new flight chamber of commerce and me."
Hearing this sentence, the expressions of the other people changed slightly.
When the novel "Banta Daily" first appeared, these people didn't care much, but when "Banta Daily" quickly became popular in Bangta City, it has even been sold to two nearby cities. , everyone immediately noticed the huge influence this thing brought.
Take the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an example, because the "Bangta Daily" always reports on some of the measures and actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's reputation in Bangta City soar, not to mention that there is no one in Bangta City. I don't know, everyone doesn't know, even outside the city of Bangta.
And every time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launches a new product, the "Bonta Daily" will make a detailed report on it, which not only makes the function of this new product clear, but also praises it. Claiming how much convenience the products of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have brought to people's lives.
After such a period of time, both the nobles and the commoners inside and outside Bangta City now have a very high degree of recognition of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Before, some people did not know the truth and bought magic machines that were imitated by other chambers of commerce, but now they are absolutely not. Someone will do it.
Once someone comes up with this idea, it will definitely be reprimanded as a fool by everyone around.
"The magic machinery of Xinfei brand is the best. If you buy those chaotic magic machinery that came out of nowhere, it will definitely be your loss!"
This has now become a common understanding of everyone inside and outside of Bangta City.
Moreover, even these big businessmen here have purchased some magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they must admit that the quality of Xinfei's magic machines is much better than other imitations.
Some time ago, "Banta Daily" also reported a piece of news in Saltan City, saying that the Leo Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City also learned from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce magic machinery, but they not only produced the Leo brand magic fans before. There were serious quality problems. Several people were injured due to the falling off of the fan blades. The Leo brand magic rice cooker produced recently exploded, which directly resulted in one death and three serious injuries for a civilian family in Saltan City. ACCIDENT.
Although the Leo Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as the largest chamber of commerce in Saltan City, it was also devastated by this continuous accident. Its reputation in Saltan City dropped to freezing point, and even caused hundreds of people to block the Chamber of Commerce. collective events.
Compared with the Leo Chamber of Commerce, the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not had even a single accident so far, and each Xinfei brand magic machinery is very durable, and the probability of quality problems is extremely low.
Besides, even if there is a real quality problem, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also set up a so-called "after-sales service center" in Bangta City. As long as there is a problem with the Xinfei magic machinery, it can be used within a year. It is free to come here for maintenance, so that people who buy the new Fei brand magic fan have no worries.
It is precisely because of this stark contrast that it has only been more than three months since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xinfeipai Magic Machinery have been deeply rooted in the hearts of Bangta City and several surrounding cities, and have been recognized by everyone.
The newly launched magic rice cooker by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not done much publicity in other cities. The merchants in those cities took the initiative to find the door and want to sell the Xinfei brand magic rice cooker.
And when people in those cities heard that these magic rice cookers were produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they didn't have any doubts at all, and they were very straightforward when they bought them.
The fundamental reason for such a result is of course that the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really easy to use and of high quality, but the publicity role played by the "Banta Daily" in it is very important.
These people here are all big businessmen in Bangta City, how can they not see this.
Morgan rolled his eyes and smiled at Xu Yi: "President Xu, I heard that you have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of "Banta Daily", Baron Hainas?"
Xu Yi waved his hand: "It's just an ordinary friendship."
The others couldn't help but rolled their eyes at Xu Yi in their hearts.
General friendship? You go to the devil!
If it was just a general friendship, would the "Bangta Daily" just grab the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to report? And it's always been positive, with no negatives at all?
You must know that the Chamber of Commerce behind these people has also approached Baron Haines, and wanted him to report the positive situation of his Chamber of Commerce, but all of them were simply rejected by Baron Haines.
The reason given by Baron Hainers was that the focus of the work of the "Banta Daily" during this period was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and other chambers of commerce had nothing to report and would not attract people to watch!
Of course, everyone thinks this reason is nonsense, because ordinary people may not know it, but they are well aware of it. The creation of Ta Daily is inextricably linked with Xu Yi.
If nothing else, the reason why "Bangta Daily" can draw thousands of copies a day is because Xu Yi designed a new magic printing machine for "Bangta Daily", which greatly improves the speed of printing newspapers. .
If it is said that Xu Yi did not invest in the "Bangta Daily", then no one will believe it.
President Morgan couldn't help but snorted softly: "President Xu, you're not being friends enough, right? Even if you let us know that you and Haines Nan feel a good relationship, it's not a big deal, right? Anyway, now All of you here are old friends of the Business Federation, you will join the Federation soon, everyone is a companion, why do you hide this from us?"
"Friend?" Xu Yi showed a hint of surprised affection, looked at President Morgan and shook his head: "President Morgan, so you treat me as a friend? I thought you never thought so, otherwise , why did you suddenly increase the price of pig iron by a full 10%?"
As soon as Xu Yi raised this question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
President Morgan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Yi in amazement. He had no idea that Xu Yi would actually bring up this matter in front of these people here, and it was so straightforward that he didn't add anything at all. cover up.
"This..." President Morgan said with a dry smile: "President Xu, it seems that business matters have nothing to do with our personal friendship, right? Raising the price of pig iron is a joint decision within the chamber of commerce, not me alone. People can call the shots. Besides, the increase in price this time is not aimed at your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and please President Xu not to think too much. "
"Really? Then the personal friendship between me and Baron Hynas is of course not related to the "Bonta Daily" reporting on our new flying chamber of commerce. After all, the "Bonta Daily" was not the only one who said it. Forget it." Xu Yi smiled.
President Morgan suffocated for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Yi, although he still kept a smile on his face, there was obviously a hint of coldness on his face.
President Lanke suddenly coughed, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.
"President Xu, I invite you to this banquet tonight, I think you should have guessed something."
Xu Yi nodded: "If I guessed correctly, President Lanke wants to accept our new flight chamber of commerce as a member of the Chamber of Commerce?"
President Lanke nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's exactly it. Originally, with the current scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, honestly speaking, it is not up to the standard of joining our business association. However, President Xu is not an ordinary businessman, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not enough. It is not an ordinary chamber of commerce. After deliberation, we decided to specially recruit the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a member. I wonder what President Xu thinks?"
