Seveni looked at Xu Yi with a bit of hidden bitterness in her eyes.
"I'm not as rich as a certain chairman, not only giving the guards of my company the highest grade weapons, I even give them the highest grade Magic Repeating Crossbows.
For a poor person's private guard like me, it's already good to have a set of armour and a weapon. "
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling as he shook his head, "Alright, your highness, since you are a poor person, I'll allow you to buy on credit on behalf of the New Flyer. What do you think?"
Seveni revealed a look of joy as she pursed her lips into a smile, "How can I accept this?"
Xu Yi spread his hands, "Alright, I don't mind, so what is there to be embarrassed about?
Then it's settled, I'll give you the same top grade equipment for your five thousand guards. Other than that, I'll also give you two new Magic Trebuchets and I'll reserve fifty large transport Magic Cars that will be released this year. "
"Chairman Xu, are you forcing a sale?" Seveni said.
Seveni asked, "If it's like this, it'll cost at least a million gold coins, right?
I can't take out the money to pay you. "
"I've said it before, I can buy on credit." Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Then how long can I buy on credit?" Seveni kept asking.
Xu Yi looked at Seveni, "Don't ask this kind of meaningless question.
Anyway, it's a deal. If you really feel bad, then think of other ways to make it up to me. "
Seveni looked at Xu Yi for a while before her expression suddenly became serious.
"Xu Yi, I have to remind you that although I support you and the New Flyer and I'm very grateful for your support, if you and the New Flyer do anything that harms the interests of our Lampari Kingdom, I definitely won't be polite to you.
Moreover, I definitely won't use the interests of the kingdom to compensate you. "
Xu Yi shrugged, "Don't worry, at least I'm satisfied with this kingdom. I don't intend to betray it, and I sincerely hope that the Lampari Kingdom can become stronger.
The kingdom's interests are my interests. "
Seveni nodded and ended this topic. She took out Banta City's work plan for the coming year and discussed it with Xu Yi.
By the time the meeting was over, Xu Yi left the City Lord's Mansion. It was already close to dusk.
Because it was close to New Years, most of the foreign workers in Banta City had returned home for New Years, so Banta City was much quieter than normal.
But because it was close to New Years, the families of Banta City began to prepare for New Years, so there was a festive atmosphere all around.
Because of the magic machine industry driven by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Banta City's economy soared. It also increased the income of each household in Banta City, so for this year's New Years, the citizens of Banta City were much more prepared compared to before.
When it was close to New Years in the past, most of the citizens of Banta City were worried about how to spend New Years. But this year, they were worried about how to spend New Years better.
Food was already something they didn't need to worry about. Now what the citizens of Banta City wanted was to have a better and more comfortable life.
So the new magic house concept proposed by the New Flyer became very popular in Banta City. Almost every family began to buy all kinds of household magic machines and began to rearrange themselves according to the magic house concept proposed by the New Flyer.
Because of this pursuit, the « Household Magic Machine System Construction » that Akali published with the release of the magic house had sold over ten thousand copies in just three months. Now whether one could read or not in Banta City, they all had a deep understanding of the concept of the magic house.
When the citizens of Banta City chatted with each other, if anyone expressed that they didn't understand the concept of the magic house, they would definitely be looked down upon.
It was because of this that the sales volume of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's household magic machines in Banta City had rebounded during this time, suddenly doubling their sales volume.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi suddenly felt that chairman Cruz's proposal to sell custom household magic machines with the New Flyer was a good idea.
Because, if it was sold together with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce's residences, it would definitely have a good effect.
Of course, when chairman Cruz proposed this, Xu Yi already felt that the prospects were good.
But other than the fact that New Flyer didn't have enough production and research resources, the other important reason why Xu Yi rejected chairman Cruz's proposal was that Xu Yi wasn't willing to let New Flyer take all the household magic machine market. He wanted to leave some space for the other household magic machine companies to survive and develop.
Just two days ago, Xu Yi had held a meeting of the Banta City Magic Machine Business Association. At the meeting, he proposed to the companies that mainly produced household magic machines to have them work together with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to finish this custom household magic machine project.
Xu Yi also promised that New Flyer would pay attention to this project and provide technical support when necessary.
This proposal was immediately welcomed by those companies and with Xu Yi pulling the strings, they quickly reached a preliminary agreement with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce. They would begin research and production at the beginning of next year.
Actually, although the Xinfei Brand household magic machines had an unbreakable lead in Banta City and the surrounding cities, taking over 70% of the market, in places that were further away from Banta City, the sales volume of the Xinfei Brand household magic machines wasn't that terrifying.
The reason was very simple, the other brands were cheaper and it wasn't just a bit cheaper.
Take the Magic Air Conditioners since winter came. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's new aluminum alloy Magic Air Conditioner had a price of twenty six gold coins two months ago. The highest price of the other brands of Magic Air Conditioners was only twenty gold coins and the lowest was only twelve gold coins.
For the citizens of the Lampari Kingdom who weren't as rich as Banta City, if they could choose a cheap Magic Air Conditioner, why would they choose the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner?
Although the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner had the best quality and performance, as well as its appearance being more beautiful than the other brands, compared to these factors, the price was the most important.
So in the Lampari Kingdom outside of Banta City and the surrounding cities, the sales volume of the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner and the other brands were very polarized.
All the noble families, whether they had money or not, they would all buy the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner.
Next were the merchants and the rich commoners, most of them bought the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner.
For normal families, almost no one would buy the Frestech Brand Magic Air Conditioner, they would all choose the Magic Air Conditioners of other brands.
Because there were more normal families than nobles, merchants, and rich families, although they bought less, in the end, the sales volume of the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner in other regions was much lower than the sales of the other brands.
Because of this, Kennard, Sebas, Heinz, Ancato, and even Stiel had proposed to Xu Yi that they shouldn't lower the price of the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner.
With the large profit margin of the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioner, even if it went from twenty six gold coins to twenty gold coins, they could still earn at least ten gold coins.
Like this, they could steal the market from the Magic Air Conditioners of the other brands.
Calculating this, the final profit would be much higher than the current profit.
But these people's suggestions were all firmly rejected by Xu Yi.
This was still the initial development stage of the magic machine industry. If they started a price war for household magic machines now, although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would gain large benefits in the short term, in the long term, it would greatly hurt the other companies that produced household magic machines. It would be a fatal blow to the development of the magic machine industry.
Xu Yi naturally wasn't willing to see this.
He treated the magic machine industry like his own child, hoping that it could develop healthily, so he racked his brains to protect it.
However, while protecting the development of the magic machine industry, he also had to pay attention to the development of New Flyer.
How to not harm the benefits of the other companies, ensuring that the magic machine industry would develop smoothly while ensuring that New Flyer would lead the development of the magic machine industry, this was a problem that Xu Yi had to seriously consider.
Up to this point, it should be said that Xu Yi had done quite well.
According to the statistics of the Banta City Magic Machine Business Union, all the magic machine companies in Banta City had sold over fifteen million gold coins this year.
Although New Flyer alone had taken over half of this, the other companies had earned at least seven million gold coins from the magic machine industry.
Even if the profit margin of the other companies wasn't as high as New Flyer's, out of the seven million gold coins, the other companies had earned at least three million gold coins.
Even though it might not be much for each chamber of commerce, it was still an exaggeration to say that in just one year, a new industry had brought in such a huge amount of profit.
For example, because of New Flyer's small company support plan, there were close to a hundred small magic machine companies that had appeared in Banta City. Their chairman and investors might have been normal citizens before, so they might have earned less than a hundred gold coins a year.
But after establishing a magic machine company with the support of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they earned at least ten thousand gold coins a year.
Compared to before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Take the most outstanding Ireland Chamber of Commerce, they had earned over two hundred thousand gold coins this year.
When Freeman saw Xu Yi last time, he had proudly revealed that he alone had earned over twenty thousand gold coins, becoming the richest man in Ireland Village.
Thinking of the smile Freeman had when he described this number to him, Xu Yi couldn't help smiling.
Twenty thousand gold coins was an astronomical figure for Freeman, but to him, it was far from enough.
Banta City's development was already shocking to many people, but to Xu Yi, it was also far from enough.
If he wanted to develop better, he had to let the flames of industry from Banta City spread like wildfire. Not only would it spread across the Lampari Kingdom, it would spread across the Sines.
