After returning to the Falling Star Manor, Stiel went to take care of the beastmen girls of the New Moon Troupe. Xu Yi began receiving the guests that came after receiving the news that he was back.
The first one to come was chairman Cruz.
When he saw Xu Yi, chairman Cruz immediately broke out in laughter and opened his arms to give Xu Yi a large hug.
Seeing his red face, Xu Yi said with a faint smile, "Chairman Cruz, it seems like your mood is quite good.
It seems like the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's income this year is quite good? "
"How so, how so. Although it's alright, compared to your New Flyer, it's far lacking."
Chairman Cruz's words were modest, but the proud look on his face revealed his true thoughts.
"If we really want to talk about it, our Chamber of Commerce's most profitable projects were all done with your help.
So, I really should give you a share of the profits. "
"I was just giving a suggestion, I didn't do anything." Xu Yi waved his hand.
"This means ….. that your new residential area is selling very well?"
"Un, half a month ago, that high class residential area was sold out. I'm currently considering developing another area next year.
I came looking for you this time to get some new suggestions from you.
How about it?
Chairman Xu, do you have any better suggestions for this residential area? "
Xu Yi shook his head, "I've already said what I can say.
If I really have to suggest something, I can only tell you to strengthen the connection between your residence and the household magic machines because household magic machines will become something that every family needs in the future, so you have to consider this. "
"That's for sure." Chairman Cruise nodded.
Chairman Xu nodded, "Moreover, not only did I consider this, I also wanted to discuss a new method of cooperation with you."
"Oh?
What new method of cooperation?
Tell me about it. "
"Look, after each family buys a new house, they have to buy a set of household magic machines.
Since it's like this, why don't we help them buy a set of household magic machines when we sell them the house? "Chairman Cruz said.
"You mean ….. to sell the house together with the furniture?" Xu Yi knit his brows.
"I'm afraid this isn't good because this will make the people who buy the house lose the right to choose the household magic machines they like. I'm afraid this will affect many people's decision to buy a house."
"There's nothing to worry about." Chairman Cruise smiled.
Chairman Xu laughed, "If the house is filled with your Xinfei Brand household magic machines, I don't think that anyone will have any objections.
After all, compared to the household magic machines of other companies, the Xinfei Brand household magic machines are much better in terms of quality and performance.
Moreover, it is much better to use Xinfei Brand household magic machines are is Xinfei's. "
Xu Yi found this a bit funny, "Although I'm very happy that you said this, not being able to choose according to one's wishes will have some effects."
Chairman Cruz seemed like he was already prepared as he said with a confident look, "Then what if it's custom made Xinfei Brand household magic machines for the house?"
"Custom made?" Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.
"You mean ….. that we should specially make household magic machines based on the style of the house?"
"Chairman Xu, you really understand with a hint." Chairman Cruz gave Xu Yi a thumbs up.
"Think about it, a custom made Xinfei Brand household magic machine for the house, just this gimmick is enough to attract many people.
Not to mention that after it's custom made, the household magic machine will be integrated into the house and it will look very beautiful.
I'm certain that this house will be loved by countless people and we won't have to worry about selling it. "
Seeing chairman Cruz's confident look, Xu Yi shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not possible."
Chairman Cruz was splashed with cold water by Xu Yi and was stunned.
"Why not?
This way not only can our Amrit Chamber of Commerce sell more houses, your Frestech Chamber of Commerce can also sell more household magic machines with the houses.
Moreover, with the gimmick of custom made, you can raise the price of these household magic machines and earn quite a bit. "
"Because this will consume large amounts of our company's design and research resources." Xu Yi said.
"Changing the appearance of household magic machines isn't as simple as you think. If you change it a bit, it will affect the overall dynamic balance. So if you change it a bit, you will need to redesign it.
But our company's design and research resources are seriously lacking, so how could we spend them on custom made household magic machines. "
Seeing how firm Xu Yi was, chairman Cruz was a bit depressed.
"That means it's impossible?"
"At least it's impossible right now." Xu Yi said with a shake of his head.
Chairman Cruz gave a sigh and didn't discuss this matter anymore. He turned to discuss the other important business of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce with Xu Yi, laying down roads.
"The statistics for this year are already out. In this year, our company has laid down a total of eight thousand three hundred and sixty seven kilometers of cement roads in the kingdom. Basically every city in the kingdom is connected by roads."
Speaking of this, Chairman Cruise's face was full of complacency.
"Of course, just in our Banta City alone, we've laid down over a thousand kilometers of roads this year, even connecting every village with roads.
If every city in the kingdom did the same as our Banta City, we would have laid down over several tens of thousands of kilometers of roads. "
"It takes a lot of time and money to upgrade the road network, it can't be rushed." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"To let the other cities in the kingdom be connected by roads like our Banta City, first the other cities in the kingdom have to be as rich as our Banta City."
Chairman Cruz's expression changed, "Right, speaking of connecting every city, I suddenly thought of something. When you went to Sowell City this time, you should have passed by Basaru City, right?
Basaru City is one of the few cities in the kingdom that doesn't have a single road.
Is this place that poor? "
Xu Yi helplessly spread his hands, "It's that poor.
Let me tell you, even if it is Basaru City's City Lord Count Longley, his family's living conditions aren't much better than many of our Banta City's citizens. "
"Really?" Chairman Cruise exclaimed in surprise.
Chairman Count revealed a look of surprise, "He is the respected Lord Count Count!
How could it be that he can't even compare to the living conditions of our Banta City's citizens? "
"This is a fact.
Because when I passed by Basaru City, I stayed at Longley Count's house for two days and personally saw it. "
Chairman Cruz shook his head, "Perhaps he is just acting in front of you.
Anyway, I don't believe that a Count's family would be this poor. "
Chairman Cruz shook his head, "Whether it is acting or not, Basaru City really is poor.
Other than that, Longley Count invited our New Flyer to invest in Basaru City, so I wanted to ask if you were interested in coming?
If you want to invest there, you have to at least build the roads first. "
Chairman Cruz was surprised, "Since that place is that poor, what benefits can there be from investing there?"
Chairman Cruz shook his head, "It is poor, but that doesn't mean there is no value there.
Rather, I found a very rare resource in Basaru City.
If it is used well, it isn't hard to earn a large amount from this resource. "
"Really?" Chairman Cruise's eyes lit up.
Chairman Cruz's eyes lit up, "As long as Chairman Xu decides to go, I will definitely go.
Anyway, I believe that as long as I go with you, I definitely won't lose out! "
Xu Yi laughed, "Then I have to thank you for your trust."
After sending chairman Cruz out, Kennard entered the Falling Star Manor.
Watching chairman Cruz's horse carriage disappear into the night, Kennard asked Xu Yi, "Chairman Cruz should be here to discuss the matter of customizing household magic machines for his company's villa, right?"
"What?
He talked to you? "Xu Yi asked back.
"Un.
He talked to me about this matter around ten days ago and I agreed, but I wanted to wait for the chairman to come back before making a decision.
Did you promise him? "
"No." Xu Yi shook his head before asking, "Why did you agree?"
"This ….. I felt that this would open up a new development path for our company's household magic machines, which would increase the sales of household magic machines, so I agreed.
Then chairman, why didn't you agree? "
"Your idea isn't wrong.
But you've neglected a problem.
What our company needs to do the most right now isn't limited to selling one or two household magic machines, rather we need to keep promoting magic machines. We need to let the entire kingdom and even the continent accept the existence of magic machines. "Xu Yi paused before asking," Do you still remember the dream I told you before? "
"Flying into space and chasing the stars?"
Kennard raised his head and looked at the night sky that was filled with stars due to the arrival of darkness. His expression revealed infinite yearning.
"Chairman, I understand what you mean.
In front of this dream, increasing the sales of some household magic machines really isn't an important matter. "
After a while, the change in Kennard's eyes disappeared and he regained his calmness.
"But chairman, if we reject chairman Cruz's proposal, it's very likely that he will find other companies that produce household magic machines to cooperate with.
Perhaps we will lose this chance in the future. "
"Could it be that I haven't given up enough chances?" Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Not to mention that if it wasn't for me, those companies wouldn't even have this chance, right?"
Kennard laughed, "That's right, sir chairman, you really are the strangest merchant I've ever seen, but I like you very much."
After laughing, Kennard suddenly revealed a lonely look as he said with a sigh, "It's a pity ….. sir chairman, I have to say goodbye to you."
