No matter what answer Count Stark wanted, Xu Yi didn't give him a definite answer.
This was Xu Yi's reaction. Even if he really supported her highness Seveni, on the surface, he definitely wouldn't show any negative opinions towards his highness Eric because that would be disrespectful.
Not to mention that no matter how much Count Stark wanted to sincerely talk to Xu Yi, Xu Yi wouldn't believe that this stubborn conservative of the Stagg Family would have any true feelings towards him.
In the end, the two of them had different positions and what decided their actions weren't just their own thoughts.
Especially someone like Count Stark who represented the Stagg Family. Perhaps every word he said and every question he asked had the intentions of the Stagg Family in it.
So Xu Yi didn't confirm or deny this question. He just vaguely said that he hadn't even seen his highness Eric before, so he didn't have any understanding of him. Of course he didn't think highly of him or not.
Count Stark seemed very disappointed with Xu Yi's answer, but there was also a bit of relief. He didn't keep asking, rather he asked about Xu Yi and the New Flyer's general plans before ending the conversation.
When he walked out of the City Lord's Manor, Xu Yi vaguely felt that he had missed something.
But thinking about it, he found that it was impossible for him to miss anything from Count Stark. So after thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up on this question.
After leaving the City Lord's Manor, Xu Yi went to the Fersen Carriage Company. He found chairman Pompeii who was sipping tea in his office as per usual.
Chairman Pompeii was very happy to see Xu Yi and wanted to invite Xu Yi to drink tea together, but after Xu Yi said this, he immediately jumped up in a way that didn't match his body.
"What?
The Magic Car has been developed? "Chairman Pompeii looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes as his face filled with shock and joy.
"Really?
Where is it?
Quickly take me to see it! "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and gestured at chairman Pompeii. Chairman Pompeii immediately followed him with a smile.
However, Xu Yi didn't immediately bring chairman Pompeii back to the Magic Car development site in the Falling Rain Valley. Rather he first went to the Blue Water Blue Sky commercial residential area that was being developed by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
This area had been renovated along the river, so it was very clean and beautiful. In the commercial residential area by the Sandy River, it was filled with small villas built based on the concept of the modern magic houses of the New Flyer.
Because it was based on the concept of modern magic houses, these small buildings had all kinds of household magic machines and they all had the same supply of Magic Crystals. Living in this kind of small building, people would experience a new life that was completely different from before.
For normal people, not only was this concept new, it was also very convenient.
So even if the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce set the price of each building at eight thousand gold coins, they had sold close to a hundred of them in just two months, which was almost half of the residential area.
It was because of this situation that chairman Cruz was filled with admiration for Xu Yi.
He thought that because of the high cost of the new concept of magic houses, the price would be very high and there wouldn't be many people who could afford them.
Those who were truly rich wouldn't like these small buildings, so the sales wouldn't be good.
However, when it came to the actual sales, Xu Yi had made chairman Cruz raise the price of five thousand gold coins to eight thousand gold coins.
Then when the sales began, the sales exceeded chairman Cruz's expectations.
Just selling close to a hundred small buildings was enough for the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to recover their costs and earn over two hundred thousand gold coins.
If all the planned residential areas were sold, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce would earn a large profit of over five hundred thousand gold coins!
Regarding this situation, although chairman Cruz had heard Xu Yi's analysis, he was very confused.
Because to him, the citizens of Banta City were either very poor and couldn't afford any houses or they were very rich and could buy their own manors.
This kind of housing that was neither good nor bad, no one should care about it.
Xu Yi had told him that there were already some "middle class" people in Banta City. These people couldn't be considered rich, but it wasn't right to call them poor.
These houses that were clearly different from normal citizens and weren't as expensive as manors, they could satisfy the needs of these people.
Facts proved Xu Yi's judgement.
Chairman Cruz had many friends in Banta City, but the ones who took out the money to buy these new concept of magic houses were the normal citizens of Banta City that he didn't recognize at all.
If he had to name one, he probably only recognized one of them, which was the Ireland Chamber of Commerce's vice chairman Kovac.
Seeing Kovac who was just a normal farmer in Ireland Village two years ago suddenly take out ten gold notes worth a thousand gold coins, requesting to sell a small building to him, chairman Cruz's chin almost fell off in shock.
When did this farmer that he didn't care about before take out ten thousand gold coins at once?
When chairman Cruz told his thoughts to Xu Yi, he was mercilessly ridiculed by Xu Yi.
The Ireland Chamber of Commerce had developed quickly in the past two years, becoming the leading component company in Banta City. In the past half a year, they had stepped into the ranks of magic machines.
For example, the Ireland Brand Magic Kettle that was released this year. Because of its high quality and low price, it had stolen quite a bit of the Banta City market from New Flyer.
According to Xu Yi's estimates, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce's monthly profit was at least twenty thousand gold coins.
Then as the Ireland Chamber of Commerce's vice chairman and the largest shareholder second only to Freeman, it wasn't surprising that Kovac could take out ten thousand gold coins at once.
Chairman Cruz was surprised by this while feeling emotional about why Xu Yi was raising a tiger.
Since he knew that the Ireland Chamber of Commerce's potential wasn't bad, why didn't he take precautions ahead of time and let them steal the market from him?
Xu Yi smiled without saying a thing and didn't explain anything.
Of course he wouldn't tell chairman Cruz that this was the result of him deliberately pushing forward.
Otherwise, he would have had many chances to kill the Ireland Chamber of Commerce in the bud.
But this was indeed raising a tiger, so Xu Yi couldn't refute chairman Cruz.
"Hey, chairman Xu, do you think ….. that I should open a bus line here?"
Chairman Pompeii's voice on the side pulled Xu Yi back from his memories of the Blue Water Blue Sky District.
"Look, the environment here is so good, there will be many people who will come here to play in the future.
Although this place isn't far from Banta City, it still takes at least half an hour to walk here, so it can't be considered close.
If we open a bus line, I believe that many people will take it. "
Xu Yi looked at chairman Pompeii in disdain, thinking, can you be a bit more mature?
"Although it isn't bad to open a line, it can only be used as a citizen's benefit. Don't think about relying on this to make money." Xu Yi said while shaking his head.
"Although this place is quite far, chairman Pompeii, don't forget, there are bicycles now.
If you ride a bicycle, it'll take at most ten minutes. "
Hearing Xu Yi mention bicycles, chairman Pompeii looked at Xu Yi with an aggrieved look before saying with a tearful face, "I say, Chairman Xu, can you not mention those damn bicycles?
It's because your New Flyer developed bicycles that many people don't ride horse carriages anymore.
There are even many people who ride bicycles from our Banta City to Karma City or Saltan City.
I really don't understand, it's a full sixty to seventy kilometers, but they're actually willing to ride bicycles instead of riding horse carriages! "
"Of course, it's because riding a bicycle doesn't cost money." There was a loud laugh that came from behind, it was chairman Cruz who came over after receiving the notice.
"Then again, riding a bicycle isn't slower than riding a horse carriage, so why does it cost money?"
"Humph, at least it's more comfortable riding a horse carriage."
Chairman Pompeii glared at chairman Cruz before turning to Xu Yi with a smile on his fat face.
"But when Chairman Xu's Magic Car appears, I think that everyone will definitely choose to ride our horse carriage company's Magic Car. Isn't that right, Chairman Xu?"
Chairman Cruz looked at Xu Yi and said with a laugh, "I heard Chairman Xu mention this thing last year, but I never thought that it would take until now to develop it.
I want to see if this thing is that amazing, it actually made me wait for it for over a year. "
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile. He called the two of them into chairman Pompeii's luxurious horse carriage and quickly headed to the Falling Rain Valley.
When the horse carriage started moving, Xu Yi took out a map of the Lampari Kingdom and placed it in front of the two of them. He seriously said to the two of them with doubtful looks, "I specially invited the two of you to see the first official delivery of the Magic Car. Other than showing you the advantages of the Magic Car that far surpasses horse carriages, there is also an important proposal that your two companies need to cooperate on.
If the cooperation goes well, it is very likely that this cooperation will bring huge profits to both of your companies that are beyond your imagination. "
Chairman Cruz and chairman Pompeii looked at each other and saw the sparkle in each other's eyes. Then they nodded at Xu Yi at the same time, "Speak."
Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Xu Yi revealed a smile. He pointed at the red line on the map that represented the road from Banta City to Anvilmar City and said with a serious look, "This cooperation is actually something that the Fersen Carriage Company has done before, but it wasn't systematic.
I've summarized it and it's actually transferring goods to various places, which is called logistics. "
