Everyone under the stage was shocked.
Although most of the people here had seen the market and didn't think that five thousand gold coins was a large amount, it was still a small amount for a company like this.
But this number wasn't big for a large company like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. For a small company like the Ireland Chamber of Commerce that was made up of several farmers, this was a large number that they didn't dare imagine before.
"President Freeman, may I be so bold as to ask, how much money does your company make from these five thousand gold coins each month?" Another reporter below the stage asked.
"How much?"
Freeman scratched his head and revealed a simple smile, "I'm not too clear, but I've heard Kovac say that last month we earned ….. over five hundred gold coins from Chairman Xu."
"Only five hundred gold coins ….." Everyone under the stage let out a sigh of relief.
If this Ireland Chamber of Commerce that suddenly appeared had a high profit margin, casually earning several thousand gold coins a month, that would be shocking.
But it was only five hundred gold coins, it wasn't that unacceptable.
"Then chairman Freeman, how many employees does your company have right now?" That reporter wanted to get to the bottom of this.
"Including me ….. there are a total of six people right now." Freeman replied.
"Six people?" Everyone silently calculated in their hearts, but they were still a little surprised.
According to what Freeman said, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce earned over five hundred gold coins last month and their company only had six people including him. If they divided it evenly, each person would earn close to a hundred gold coins!
Although from the perspective of a company, this income was a bit shabby and couldn't be seen in public, if it was an individual income, this income was considered a high income in Banta City.
Moreover, based on Freeman's answer, they were just normal farmers from the Ireland Village outside the city. After farming for a year, they wouldn't earn more than a hundred gold coins, but now they could earn this in a single month. This was an explosive increase in income.
Thinking of this, many people under the stage looked at Freeman with gazes filled with envy and dissatisfaction.
These fellows were just normal farmers from outside the city, but they could earn close to a hundred gold coins a month from producing screw bolts, so why couldn't they do the same?
Seeing the glow in the eyes of everyone under the stage, Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
Actually, although what Freeman said was the truth, he didn't tell them the entire truth.
Actually, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce didn't just supply the New Flyer with screw bolts.
Because the other large companies of the city had invested in producing Magic Fans in the past two months, the demand for screw bolts had greatly increased.
According to what Freeman told Xu Yi before, they had sold over two million screw bolts of various sizes last month.
Even though the profit from each screw bolt was only a dozen or so copper coins, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce had earned over a thousand gold coins last month with the support of such a large number of screws!
Freeman's group of six people, they could earn close to two hundred gold coins!
However, even though he only revealed less than half of the amount, it was enough to move the hearts of the people below the stage.
From the looks of it, Freeman's appearance this time was much more effective than he had expected.
Like this, it would greatly help the New Flyer's small company support plan.
"Chairman Xu, can you tell us how this small company support plan is implemented?"
As expected, the reporters immediately skipped Freeman and began asking Xu Yi questions.
Xu Yi revealed a smile and took the podium that Freeman gave up. He looked at the excited crowd under the stage and said in a clear voice, "The implementation is like this, our New Flyer will first investigate the small companies that apply to participate … …"
After an entire hour, the product announcement finally ended.
When they left the product announcement, whether it was the citizens of Banta City who came to watch the excitement or the reporters who came to find news, they all had excited looks on their faces.
The New Flyer really was a company that had invented something as novel as the magic machine, even the policies they implemented were novel.
The farmer support plan from before had already surprised everyone and proved that this farmer support plan had brought great benefits to the farmers outside Banta City.
Now that they were implementing this small company support plan, there was no doubt that it would bring a large change to Banta City.
If what Xu Yi said just now was true, there would be earth shattering changes inside and outside Banta City.
Thinking of all the new things and changes that appeared in Banta City this year were all brought by the New Flyer, or more accurately, they were all brought by Xu Yi, everyone couldn't help praising Xu Yi in their hearts.
After the product announcement ended, Xu Yi didn't have time to enjoy everyone's praises.
As soon as the product announcement ended, there were a bunch of people who came in front of him, wanting to ask him about the details of the small company support plan. There were also quite a few people who wanted to join the small company support plan, hoping that the New Flyer would support them.
There were just too many people and Xu Yi was a bit overwhelmed.
"It seems like I'll have to hire a spokesperson sooner or later."
This helpless thought passed in Xu Yi's mind. He suddenly saw a person walk in from the corner of his eyes and raised his hands as he loudly said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. As for the details of the small company support plan, we will publish it in the « Banta Times » in the next few days. At the same time, we will announce it outside our New Flyer's service center.
Other than this, the Lord City Lord has expressed his support for this plan, so we will also announce the details of the Lord City Lord's announcement in the city square. I ask everyone to take a look. "
Hearing Xu Yi say this, the people around him finally calmed down.
There were some reporters who wanted to keep asking Xu Yi, but they saw Xu Yi push through the crowd and walk to the side of the person who had just walked in.
These reporters recognized that this person was the current editor in chief of the « Banta Times », so they tactfully stopped moving.
Whether it was the reporters in Banta City or the surrounding cities, they all knew that Chairman Xu and the founder of the « Banta Times » had a special relationship, so the New Flyer had a close relationship with the « Banta Times ».
Many of the news related to the New Flyer were first reported by the « Banta Times » and the other newspapers would only receive the news later.
Now that Xu Yi was meeting with Naxi, it was clear that he was prepared to reveal some special news to the « Banta Times ».
In front of the envious gazes of the reporters, Naxi came forward to Xu Yi. His expression wasn't happy at all, rather it was very serious. He came to Xu Yi's side and said in a low voice, "Big brother Xu, we found that person."
Xu Yi's face sunk a bit before revealing a smile again. He patted Naxi's shoulder and pointed at the inner hall behind the press conference hall, "Come, let's talk inside."
The two walked into the inner hall and Xu Yi was silent for a bit before asking Naxi, "Where did you find him?
Did Rem go see him again? "
"Un, according to the reports of the brothers, Rem went to see that person this morning. The two stayed in the room for half an hour before Rem left." Naxi replied with a nod.
Xu Yi gave a soft snort and a trace of anger flashed on his face as he asked, "Where is that person now?"
"After seeing Rem, he left Banta City.
I've already had a brother follow him and based on the reports, that person should be heading in the direction of Saltan City. "
"Saltan City?" Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.
"It can't be those fellows who haven't given up, right?"
After thinking for a bit, Xu Yi shook his head. His expression returned to normal as he said to Naxi with a smile, "Alright, Naxi, it's been hard on you and your brothers.
You are the « Banta Times »'s chief editor, but I've had you do these things, it really is a bit of a waste of talent. "
"What is big brother Xu saying?" Naxi said in a surprised voice.
"If it wasn't for big brother Xu's suggestions and help, this « Banta Times » wouldn't have been established.
Me and my brothers would still be idling at home, how could we be as full and interesting as we are now.
Speaking of this, we are the ones thanking you, so helping you with these things is something we should do. "
After saying this, Naxi looked around in a mysterious manner. He came closer to Xu Yi and asked in a low voice, "Big brother Xu, actually I feel that this matter doesn't need to be this troublesome at all.
Since you're certain it's that brat, how about we just catch him and have someone teach him a lesson. I don't believe that he won't tell us everything. "
"I say, you are the chief editor of the « Banta Times », you are considered an important person in Banta City. Why do you still like to use brute force to solve things?"
Xu Yi scolded with a smile before shaking his head and saying, "Although your method is simple and effective, the most important problem isn't him, rather it's the people behind him."
Naxi thought for a bit before nodding, "That's right, if we don't catch those fellows behind him, there will be trouble in the future."
Xu Yi gave a sigh, thinking that the trouble definitely wasn't this small. Even if this matter could be solved, New Flyer would still meet all kinds of problems.
Of course, this was something that New Flyer would have to face as they grew, so they couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to.
Moreover, this was only a small problem. As New Flyer grew stronger, the problems they would meet would become bigger and bigger.
Xu Yi strangely thought of a line from « The Song of the Stormy Petrel ».
Come!
Let the storm come stronger!
