"Chairman Xu, do you really plan on closing the canned fruit factory in Koror Village?" Elder Elucía slightly knit her brows as she looked at Xu Yi with a trace of worry in her eyes.
"I feel that it isn't good for you to keep giving in to Count Stark like this because it will only make him more and more excessive."
"If I don't give in, then I can only face him head on.
It's a pity that our New Flyer and I don't have that kind of strength right now. "Xu Yi revealed a smile, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
"Of course, I won't keep giving in. When the time is right, I will naturally fight back.
Count Stark is at his peak right now, but once this period is over, he will be the first to be sacrificed. "
"Is it because of the political struggle in your Lampari Kingdom?" Elder Elucía looked at Xu Yi with a look of deep meaning.
Xu Yi laughed and didn't continue talking about this topic. Instead, he turned to answer elder Elucía's first question.
"As for the canned fruit factory, although there is no way for it to run smoothly right now, I won't close it and will keep it open."
"Why?
If there is no work, what meaning is there in keeping the factory? "Elder Elucía asked in a surprised voice.
"No, it has a lot of meaning.
First, it is a symbol that our New Flyer hasn't given up on the canned fruit business.
Second, I'm very satisfied with the location of the factory. As long as the time is right, it can be opened again at any time. "Xu Yi said.
"But didn't you already move the workers of the factory to the Principality of Constantine along with the Cantona Chamber of Commerce?"
After saying this, elder Elucía gave a sigh of praise, "Speaking of this, I never thought that Chairman Xu would be this bold. You actually rented over a hundred thousand hectares of land from the Principality of Constantine. This is equal to a fifth of the farmland in the Principality of Constantine."
"This isn't much." Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
"Actually, if possible, I would like to contract the entire Principality of Constantine's farmland.
But it's a pity that the Principality of Constantine isn't that courageous. "
Elder Elucía pursed her lips and smiled, "Chairman Xu, why don't you just say that you want to buy the entire Principality of Constantine?"
"If Duke Stantine is willing to sell it, I really want to buy it." Xu Yi shrugged.
"Of course, with the current strength of our Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed impossible to swallow the Principality of Constantine in one go. We can only slowly think of a way."
Elder Elucía stared at Xu Yi for a while, before she shook her head and sighed, "I feel that the Principality of Constantine has brought a tiger into its home.
I'm very curious why Duke Stantine would agree to rent such a large piece of land to you. Could it be that he doesn't know the drawbacks of this? "
"He knows, but he doesn't care." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Compared to the future of the Principality of Constantine, Duke Stantine is clearly more concerned with the current benefits.
Not to mention that the people of the Principality of Constantine are very lazy. Even if we don't rent it, the land that can be farmed will be in an abandoned state.
Now that our Chamber of Commerce is renting this land, not only will we give him three hundred thousand gold coins a year, we will also give 30% of the food produced to the Principality of Constantine. They won't lose anything, so why wouldn't they agree? "
Elder Elucía thought for a bit before shaking her head with a sigh, "I really don't understand you humans. Why are some humans as smart and hardworking as Chairman Xu while others are as stupid and short-sighted as Duke Stantine?"
"That's why I said to you a long time ago that there is a large difference between humans, unlike elves and dwarves who have the same personality." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Perhaps this is a flaw that races other than humans have."
Elder Elucía then asked, "But Chairman Xu, not only does your Chamber of Commerce have to pay three hundred thousand gold coins a year for this hundred thousand hectares of land, you also have to give 30% of the food produced by the Principality of Constantine. I don't understand how your Chamber of Commerce earns money from this?"
Xu Yi looked at Elder Elucía and saw that she was asking for guidance, so he couldn't help smiling.
Since the Nightsong tribe opened their own plastic processing factory, not only Amelud who was the factory manager, but also Delil who was the foreign affairs manager began to absorb large amounts of human business knowledge. Even Elder Elucía didn't let go of any chance to learn from Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was happy to see this, so he didn't hide it and replied, "If you go to the Principality of Constantine to investigate, you'll find that this duchy is truly blessed by the heavens.
The land in the Principality of Constantine is very fertile and is very suitable for plants to grow.
If you cultivate there, you only need to throw the seeds into the field and then you'll be able to produce a good harvest.
The only problem you need to pay attention to is the natural disasters. "
"It's that exaggerated?" Elder Elucía had a surprised expression.
"No wonder the Moon Shadow Tribe has more elven compatriots than our Nightsong tribe. It should be because of the good environment."
"You don't need to envy them.
Now that the Nightsong tribe's living conditions are much better than before, isn't your population also rapidly increasing? "
Speaking of this, Elder Elucía's face immediately showed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, this year hasn't ended yet, but our tribe has already produced two newborn elves. It's really a pleasant surprise."
Seeing Elder Elucía's happy expression, Xu Yi was speechless.
The total population of the Nightsong tribe was close to a thousand. If it was a human, there would be dozens of babies born in a year.
Even in the Lampari Kingdom that was always plagued by famine, as long as it was in a peaceful period, the birth rate would not be lower than 20/1000.
But the Nightsong tribe had only produced two newborn elves in a year, yet Elder Elucía was so happy. It was enough to show how low the birth rate of the elves was.
Even if the elves had a longer lifespan than humans, so it was natural for them to have a lower birth rate, this birth rate was still too low.
But Xu Yi didn't have any special thoughts about this. Anyway, the birth rate of the elves was a good thing for humans. At least they didn't need to worry about the sudden increase in elves, which would pose a threat to humans.
"Elder Elucía, the New Flyer's canned fruit factory and mine in the Principality of Constantine have already begun construction. When the Cantona Chamber of Commerce stands firm in the Principality of Constantine, I plan on building a base in the Principality of Constantine.
Does your Nightsong tribe want to take this chance to build a plastic processing factory in the Principality of Constantine?
When I went to the Principality of Constantine last time, I found that there were many rubber trees there. This is a very useful thing, so if you grab this industry, you won't need to worry about living conditions in the future. "Xu Yi suggested.
Elder Elucía nodded, "When Chairman Xu mentioned this matter to me last time, I already had this plan.
With this chance, we can establish a closer relationship with the Moon Shadow Tribe, so I'm very happy. "
"That's good. Next time chairman Cantona comes back from the Principality of Constantine, it's best if you send some people with him to continue investigating the Principality of Constantine. At the same time, you can contact the Moon Shadow Tribe." Xu Yi said.
"Alright."
After discussing this with Xu Yi, elder Elucía didn't directly return to the Falling Rain Forest, rather she headed to the Falling Rain Valley to inspect the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory.
Since the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory was built in the Falling Rain Valley, elder Elucía had changed her method of staying in the Falling Rain Forest for several hundred years. She would come to the Falling Rain Valley every once in a while to take a look.
Other than discussing some things with Xu Yi, her biggest goal was to see how the plastic processing factory was doing.
It should be said that in the months after the plastic processing factory was built, the situation was very good.
With Xu Yi pulling the strings and Delil working hard, the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory had already opened up a certain situation in Banta City.
After helping Big Sister Sara make the 100 plastic clothes hangers, he received high praise from Big Sister Sara, and then an order for 1,000 more plastic clothes hangers was placed.
Then with big sister Sara's example and the promotion of the « Banta Times », the plastic clothes hangers quickly became popular in Banta City.
These plastic clothes hangers were very smooth, so there was no need to worry about ruining clothes like the rough wooden clothes hangers. They could also be customized in various colours and styles, making it very convenient to use.
The most important thing was that the price of the plastic clothes hangers was much cheaper than the wooden clothes hangers.
Big sister Sara's wooden clothes hangers could only be considered normal quality, so they were relatively cheap. On average, each one cost seventeen silver coins.
As for the Nightsong tribe's plastic clothes hangers, they were only sold for thirteen silver coins, so the price was without a doubt much cheaper.
So in just a single month, the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory had sold over forty thousand plastic clothes hangers. All the clothes hangers in the various clothing stores in Banta City had been turned into plastic clothes hangers.
For the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory, because the materials came from the Falling Rain Forest and the workers were all elves of the Nightsong tribe, the cost was almost negligible for them. So the five thousand gold coins from the forty thousand plastic clothes hangers was almost a net profit.
Although this wasn't much money, because from beginning to end, other than Xu Yi and Stiel giving some help, everything else was done by the elves of the Nightsong tribe alone. So for them, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that these five thousand gold coins gave them far surpassed the value of the five thousand gold coins themselves.
It was also because of this that elder Elucía and the other elves of the Nightsong tribe were filled with gratitude towards Xu Yi.
If it wasn't for Xu Yi's support and encouragement, with just them, they might not have been able to take this step in a hundred years.
Moreover, with the hot sales of the plastic clothes hangers, after knowing that the Night Song Tribe's plastic factory was going to produce plastic mannequins, including the Armani Chamber of Commerce, all the clothing companies and stores in Banta City immediately placed orders.
Moreover, there were many other companies that came to ask Delil if they could use plastic to make the parts or finished products that they needed.
So during this time, whether it was Delil or the elves of the Nightsong tribe, they were all very busy.
Of course, they were happy to be busy.
Seeing elder Elucía leave with a bit of a rush, Xu Yi couldn't help smiling. He turned to the road outside the Falling Rain Valley and looked over the motorcade that was over two hundred meters long. Finally his eyes fell onto chairman Cruz, chairman Renersa, and chairman Vincent who had been waiting for a while and he waved his hand.
"Alright, let's go."
