With the withdrawal of New Flyer, as time passed, the effects became more and more serious.
At first, only the shops and mines related to New Flyer closed. Since they were taken over by the Mana Magic Kingdom who had prepared ahead of time, the effects weren't that big.
But with the withdrawal of the other races and the withdrawal of many companies from other countries, most of the factories that had sprung up in the Mana Magic Kingdom closed down.
Even if the Mana Magic Kingdom had made a lot of preparations, letting the companies of the kingdom take over while also recruiting companies from other countries to invest, after losing the investment of New Flyer and the large companies related to New Flyer, the magic machine industry of the Mana Magic Kingdom was seriously damaged and the related industries were affected to varying degrees.
The one that was affected the most and the one that was the most obvious was the household magic machine industry.
With New Flyer and the other companies withdrawing, the Mana Magic Kingdom couldn't even produce the most basic Magic Fan. If they didn't lack this component, they lacked that component.
The Mana Magic Kingdom wanted to rely on their own strength to improve this system, but even though these things seemed simple, it would take a long time to accumulate technology, especially the accumulation of related talents. So no matter how hard the Mana Magic Kingdom worked, it was hard to fill these gaps.
Moreover, with the effects of New Flyer withdrawing, the various companies related to the magic machine industry in the Mana Magic Kingdom found it hard to import components from other countries.
At the same time, because New Flyer had given the Mana Magic Kingdom a "bad faith" label, the products of the Mana Magic Kingdom companies became products that couldn't be trusted in the eyes of most people on the continent.
This view wasn't just limited to magic machines, rather it was printed on all the products of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Even the traditional products of the Mana Magic Kingdom that had close to a thousand years of history and were famous on the continent were affected by this and their sales fell.
Like this, the companies of the Mana Magic Kingdom found it hard to produce and it was even harder to sell. Naturally they couldn't continue and they all closed down.
As a result, the large number of workers employed by these companies lost their jobs because of this.
If this was several decades ago, or even ten years ago, the word "unemployment" would be a very new word for most people in the Mana Magic Kingdom.
This was because most people didn't have a proper job to begin with. They were all farmers who relied on the land to survive, so how could they lose their jobs.
But in the recent ten years, with the promotion of the magic machine industry in the Sines by New Flyer, the various companies related to the magic machine industry of the Mana Magic Kingdom had these people who only knew how to work in the fields and entered the factories. They obtained jobs that gave them jobs that far surpassed their previous jobs of time and led better lives than before.
But now, they were unemployed.
There was a saying on Earth, it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.
The people of the Mana Magic Kingdom had already gotten used to their new life through these jobs, but now because of unemployment, they lost their income and suddenly lost the foundation to maintain a good life.
Of course, they weren't willing to go back to the fields and work hard. Even if they were willing, because most of the fields in the kingdom were monopolized by the professional companies under the nobles, there was no place for them to get involved.
Therefore, these people lost almost all of their sources of income in an instant.
So the turmoil naturally broke out.
At first, it was only three provinces that were involved in large-scale unrest.
But as the Mana Magic Kingdom didn't come up with effective solutions, the scope of the turmoil became bigger and bigger. Soon, it affected more than half of the territory.
It could be said that the area affected by the wave of opposition to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was as large as the area affected by the current wave, or even surpassing it.
The Mana Magic Kingdom was originally stable and prosperous, but in the blink of an eye, it became incomparably turbulent.
When the newspapers reported these events, many of them clearly pointed out that the reason why the Mana Magic Kingdom became like this was because of the New Flyer's withdrawal.
There were even some tabloids that said that the reason why the Mana Magic Kingdom had such large scale chaos was because of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes.
New Flyer didn't give any official response to this accusation.
But in private …
"Serves them right!" President Cruz snorted with disdain.
"Who told these guys not to cooperate with you honestly, but instead, they wanted to play tricks. Now that they've tasted the consequences, it's completely their own fault.
Isn't that right, Xu Yi? "
Xu Yi shook his head, feeling a little funny.
In fact, he chose to have the New Flyer withdraw from the Mana Magic Kingdom because he had other deeper considerations. It was just that the Mana Magic Kingdom just happened to hit the head of the spear.
It wasn't wrong to say that the Mana Magic Kingdom deserved it. After all, if they didn't deliberately delay and play tricks in private, and even created a wave of opposition to negotiate with the New Flyer, Xu Yi wouldn't have directly made this decision.
But President Cruz put on such a gloating and indignant expression, it was really too much of an act.
After scolding the Mana Magic Kingdom, President Cruz coughed and asked, "Speaking of which … Xu Yi, do you really plan to completely ignore the Mana Magic Kingdom?
If you are willing to let go now, the Mana Magic Kingdom will definitely be willing to agree to any conditions. "
Xu Yi glanced at him, "Our Chamber of Commerce has publicly announced to everyone that we will withdraw from the Mana Magic Kingdom. How can we go back on our words?"
President Cruz's mouth twitched, with a look of disapproval.
The so-called public announcements in the business world were the same as the words from the mouths of those big political figures. They were no different from farts.
As long as there were enough benefits, these things could be overturned at any time, and no one would find it strange.
If the New Flyer re-entered the Mana Magic Kingdom in the name of civilian rescue, then it wouldn't be considered a violation of the previous announcement. After that, the Mana Magic Kingdom would naturally make a statement and invite the New Flyer back, and no one would be able to use this to criticize the New Flyer.
It was impossible that Xu Yi didn't think of this solution, so why was he still insisting on his previous decision?
"Don't look at me. Since I have decided to withdraw, then I will withdraw." Xu Yi saw through President Cruz's thoughts, so he deliberately explained.
"For your Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and enter the Mana Magic Kingdom. Cruz, you can't miss this opportunity."
President Cruz awkwardly smiled, "I didn't think so.
Don't forget, our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was the first to withdraw from the Mana Magic Kingdom after New Flyer. "
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that although the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce announced their withdrawal with New Flyer, they didn't say that they would permanently withdraw, nor did they say that they would withdraw completely. It was purely for show.
If President Chris wasn't tempted, it would be strange if he had the idea of meddling in the Mana Magic Kingdom.
"Well, the matter of the Mana Magic Kingdom has nothing to do with me, so let's not waste time discussing it.
Cruz, are your preparations ready? "Xu Yi asked.
Hearing Xu Yi ask about business, President Cruz's expression immediately became serious, and he nodded, "Everything is ready, we can set off at any time."
After a pause, he suddenly moved a little closer, and asked with a smile, "That … … Xu Yi, our people are ready, but I'm afraid we don't have enough ships.
It's a bit troublesome to rely on your New Flyer's fleet to transport.
How about … … "
"How about I just sell you a few ships?" Xu Yi smiled.
"Ha … … Haha … … If it's possible, that would be great." President Cruz dryly laughed twice, but didn't deny it at all.
Xu Yi laughed and shook his head, then he took a document from the table next to him and threw it in front of President Cruz.
"Take a look. If you're satisfied, then sign it."
President Cruz took it and found that it was a contract for the sale of large Magic Boats.
Looking at it carefully, the number of large Magic Boats in this contract was actually as high as ten!
President Cruz looked at Xu Yi in surprise and joy, "This ….. You ….. Could it be that you're planning on selling us ten ships at once?"
Xu Yi reached out his hand and flipped to the last page of the contract, pointing at the last signature.
"Sign your name if you want it, stop wasting words."
President Cruz looked over it and didn't hesitate at all as he signed his name at the end.
He had worked with Xu Yi for close to thirty years, so he didn't doubt that Xu Yi would set a trap in the contract.
"I can only give you ten ships for now, there's no need to think about anything else." Xu Yi took the other two contracts for president Cruz to sign.
"If you want them, perhaps you'll have more after our new shipyard is built."
President Cruz had a smile as he nodded, "Ten ships is enough for now.
As for the future ….. Of course the more the better. As long as you're willing to sell them, I'll take them all. "
"In your dreams." Xu Yi gave a snort.
"Even these ten ships were taken from the Malor Empire, the Kandla Empire, and the Lampari Kingdom for you, do you think there's that much?"
President Cruz's smile became bigger, as it was filled with eagerness.
"Xu Yi, I've always remembered how you took care of our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
After going to the Demon Cloud Continent this time, I will definitely have my subordinates go all out and definitely won't hold you back. "
"Actually, the situation on the Demon Cloud Continent is much simpler than Sines and things are much easier, so there's nothing holding you back."
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before continuing, "When I get there, I might make some changes based on the situation, so you should prepare yourself."
President Cruz nodded in response. When he was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned as he looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes.
"You're also going?"
