Hank?
Wilson's trip to Banta City this time, other than escorting Sophia here, there were two more important matters.
The first was to discuss a new cooperation contract on behalf of the Walmart Chamber of Commerce.
In the past year of cooperation, New Flyer's household magic machines had been selling very well in the various Walmart Chamber of Commerce branches in the kingdom.
Just in terms of sales of Magic Furnaces, according to the Walmart Chamber of Commerce's statistics last month, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce branches in the various cities of the Lampari Kingdom had sold over a hundred and seventy thousand Xinfei Brand Magic Furnaces.
Although the Walmart Chamber of Commerce earned an average profit of less than one gold coin from each Magic Furnace, this was just the Magic Furnaces. If they included the other household magic machines of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce earned a large profit of close to three hundred thousand gold coins just from cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce last month.
Because of this, before the Walmart Chamber of Commerce's contract ended, they decided to sign a new contract with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce a year ahead of time.
As for Hank?
When Wilson took out the new contract, Xu Yi looked it over and found that the terms on it were much better compared to the first contract they signed.
For example, in the first contract, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce said that New Flyer had to pay for all the transportation costs and the Walmart Chamber of Commerce wouldn't take any responsibility.
But in this contract, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce had taken the initiative to take care of the transportation costs within three hundred kilometers. For anything beyond three hundred kilometers, they would negotiate based on the situation.
There was another rule, which was that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce promised that as long as there was a road, even if it was beyond three hundred kilometers, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce would take care of the transportation. They didn't need New Flyer to find another transportation method.
But after seeing this detail, Xu Yi shook his head and pointed at this detail to Hank Hank.
Wilson said, "As for the transportation, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce is willing to take care of the transportation costs and I represent New Flyer in expressing my gratitude. But as for the transportation method, because our company has an agreement with the Fersen Carriage Company, all the transportation of our company's goods will be taken care of by the Fersen Carriage Company. I'm afraid we can't give it to you."
"Oh?
There's such an agreement? "
Wilson thought for a bit before asking, "Chairman Xu, did you reach this agreement with the Fersen Carriage Company because they bought a large number of Magic Cars from you?"
"You could say that." Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
Actually, Wilson's reason was only one of the reasons. The real reason was that Xu Yi wanted to use this cooperation to change the Fersen Carriage Company from horse carriages to Magic Cars, changing the transportation method of the Lampari Kingdom.
Of course, the actual situation was that once the Magic Car was released, because it was much faster and safer than horse carriages, it was welcomed by everyone in a short period of time.
In just a few months, not only had all the companies in Banta City adapted to this new transport method and appointed the Fersen Carriage Company to transport their goods, even the companies in the nearby and even further cities found the Fersen Carriage Company to transport their goods.
Now the Fersen Carriage Company had already set up branches in the surrounding cities, taking care of business.
Of course, the reason why the Fersen Carriage Company developed this quickly was because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only sold Magic Cars to the Fersen Carriage Company.
During this time, there were countless companies that wanted to buy Magic Cars from the New Flyer, but they were all rejected by the New Flyer because they didn't have enough production capacity.
And now, Hank?
Wilson came on behalf of the Walmart Chamber of Commerce and made the same request.
"Other than discussing the new cooperation, the main reason I came this time is to buy Magic Cars."
Wilson said to Xu Yi with a serious look.
"Chairman Xu, chairman Rundst places great importance on the Magic Cars and asked me to come this time to buy them from you no matter what."
Xu Yi didn't directly reject him, rather he thought for a bit before asking, "You want to build your own transport fleet?"
Hank?
Wilson revealed a faint smile, "It should be a logistics fleet, Chairman Xu?"
Hearing the word "logistics" from Wilson's mouth, Xu Yi immediately understood. It was clear that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce had done their research and made preparations for the Magic Cars. Wilson coming to Banta City this time meant that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce placed great importance on the matter of buying Magic Cars.
"Alright, it's a logistics fleet.
Can I ask, how big are you planning on building a logistics fleet? "Xu Yi asked.
"If possible, the bigger the better," Wilson said with a smile.
Wilson said with a smile, "But for now, our goal is to build five hundred transport Magic Cars. As for passenger transport, our company isn't planning on meddling right now."
"Oh?
Only five hundred? "Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
He thought that since a large company like the Walmart Chamber of Commerce that could be considered one of the largest companies in the Lampari Kingdom, they wouldn't be worse than the Fersen Carriage Company, but he never thought that they would only ask for five hundred.
It had to be known, the Fersen Carriage Company already had over two thousand medium transport Magic Cars right now.
At this time, at least half of them were on the roads of the Lampari Kingdom, so it could be said that they greatly increased the flow of goods in the Lampari Kingdom.
"Yes, the initial plan is to buy five hundred medium transport Magic Cars."
Hank Wilson nodded before explaining, "Chairman Xu, actually we are very clear on your plans and attitude towards supporting the Fersen Carriage Company, young master Kennard has already told me about this before.
But you don't need to worry, our company isn't planning on competing with the Fersen Carriage Company for the transport business in the Lampari Kingdom. "
"Not competing for the transport business in the kingdom?
Then isn't five hundred a bit too much? "
Xu Yi was a bit confused. After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea and said in a surprised voice, "It can't be that you're aiming for other countries, right?"
Wilson nodded with a faint smile, "Chairman Xu really is quick-witted, you guessed it this easily.
That's right, our company wants to build a transport fleet and our main goal is to transport goods to other countries, not to transport goods in the kingdom. "
Xu Yi looked at the confident Wilson with a trace of pride in his eyes and his heart filled with emotions.
The Walmart Chamber of Commerce really was one of the largest companies in the Lampari Kingdom. He was still racking his brains on how to expand the influence of the New Flyer in the Lampari Kingdom, but the other side was already looking outside the Lampari Kingdom.
"If it's like this, I feel that five hundred Magic Cars aren't enough."
Xu Yi said in a thoughtful voice, "No matter which country it is to go to, the journey is much longer than in our Lampari Kingdom.
If there are only five hundred ….. I'm afraid it can only barely keep a few transport routes open. "
"So, this is the initial plan," Wilson said.
Wilson said, "According to the estimates of our company, five hundred medium sized transport Magic Cars can keep our company's routes to the Sack Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Rhine Kingdom, and the other two small duchies.
As for the future, we will expand the transport fleet according to the situation. "
"Un, this is a very careful plan, I think it's very good." Xu Yi said with a nod.
"Since chairman Xu is very optimistic about this plan, shouldn't you give us some support?" Wilson immediately climbed up the ladder.
Wilson immediately followed up, "The initial five hundred Magic Cars, I think that Chairman Xu should be able to provide them to us, right?"
Xu Yi shook his head with a bitter smile. Wilson had already said this and if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be giving the Walmart Chamber of Commerce any face. It would have a serious impact on the cooperation between the two companies.
Xu Yi placed great importance on the Walmart Chamber of Commerce as a retail giant in the Lampari Kingdom.
So Xu Yi seriously considered it for a bit before slowly nodding, "If it's only five hundred, I think we can squeeze out a portion.
But vice chairman Wilson, based on our agreement with the Fersen Carriage Company, I need to discuss this matter with them before I can give you a definite answer. I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer right now. "
"That's not a problem." Seeing Xu Yi agree, Will's face was covered in a smile.
"But I hope that Chairman Xu can give me a clear answer as soon as possible. It's best if you can give me a clear answer before I leave so that I can bring it back for the company to discuss."
"That's not a problem."
"Alright, Chairman Xu, please take a look at this new cooperation agreement.
There are some suggestions for our Walmart Chamber of Commerce to expand our cooperation with your New Flyer, you can consider them. "
Xu Yi picked up the contract again and looked over it for a bit before being stunned.
In the last part of the agreement, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce actually proposed to cooperate with New Flyer abroad!
In short, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce proposed to use the Walmart Chamber of Commerce's sales channels to sell the various magic machines produced by New Flyer to other countries and regions. Then as the market for these magic machines opened in other countries and regions, both sides could even invest in factories in these countries and regions, producing and selling locally.
It had to be said, this was a very attractive plan and proposal.
Although New Flyer already had the ability to sell the Xinfei brand magic machines to the Principality of Constantine and the Kingdom of Ruhr outside of the Lampari Kingdom, ignoring the Principality of Constantine, New Flyer didn't have any foundation in the Kingdom of Ruhr. So Xu Yi always controlled the pace of New Flyer's investment in the Kingdom of Ruhr, not moving fast.
But the Walmart Chamber of Commerce was different.
As one of the top chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce had a strong foundation in the surrounding countries and regions. If they cooperated with them and invested in these countries and regions, it would save a lot of trouble and it would be easier to open up the market.
But this would bring about a problem.
If they cooperated with the Walmart Chamber of Commerce, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce would inevitably take the lead in the future because of their unequal foundation in these countries and regions.
Xu Yi cared a lot about this because whoever took the lead could decide the development path and direction.
Xu Yi's ideas in many aspects were completely different from traditional chambers of commerce because his goal was to develop the magic machine industry on this continent and create a complete industrial system. Most of the time, he didn't care about profits.
On this point, he would definitely have a conflict with the Walmart Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at Wilson's expectant face, Xu Yi fell into deep thought.
