It was about to enter the spring harvest season.
At this time of the year, Cantona was the busiest, but also the happiest.
Because the Cantona Chamber of Commerce had over ten sets of agricultural magic machines, when it came to the spring harvest season, many people in Banta City and the surrounding cities would invite the Cantona Chamber of Commerce to help with the harvest.
Although it was very tiring, not only did this work earn quite a bit of money, it also gave the Cantona Chamber of Commerce quite a bit of fame. So even if the Cantona Chamber of Commerce was no longer a small company with only ten sets of agricultural magic machines, Cantona still placed great importance on this work.
However, at this time this year, Cantona was worried.
It was for nothing else, it was because of a new rule from the City Lord Manor.
The City Lord Manor required that in order to ensure that the spring harvest would go smoothly, Banta City had to use the brand of agricultural magic machines from the City Lord Manor.
As for this brand, it was of course the Hayada Chamber of Commerce's Hayada Brand agricultural magic machines that were recognized by the department.
Actually, everyone knew why the City Lord Manor made this rule, but Cantona had no other choice.
If the other companies couldn't do business in Banta City, they could choose to move, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce's farming business was based on Banta City's land, so they couldn't avoid Banta City's jurisdiction at all.
Cantona had considered leaving Banta City, but the Cantona Chamber of Commerce couldn't just leave the Lampari Kingdom. If they opened their business in the other cities of the kingdom, with the current situation, it would only delay it a bit.
This was because the department was promoting this rule across the Lampari Kingdom. They said that in order to ensure that the farming was standardized and reasonable, they had to use the brand of agricultural magic machines recognized by the department.
With no other choice, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce could only buy ten sets of agricultural magic machines from the Hayada Chamber of Commerce, which cost close to ten thousand gold coins.
Cantona thought that they could continue their business like this, but when the Cantona Chamber of Commerce began their first harvest in Mexilan Village, there were many problems with the ten sets of agricultural magic machines. There were only a hundred mu of wheat left in Mexilan Village and they couldn't finish harvesting it in three days.
It had to be known, in the past few years, as long as the Cantona Chamber of Commerce went all out, Mexilan Village's hundred mu of farmland could be harvested in a single morning.
Hearing the Hayada Brand agricultural Magic Harvester not far away give an ear piercing sound before it stopped without making a sound, not even releasing the light of the Magic Array, Cantona deeply knit his brows.
In these three days, only the Hayada Brand small Magic Harvester had been used, but thirteen of the twenty Hayada Brand small Magic Harvesters had all kinds of problems. Six of them had serious problems and couldn't be activated at all.
What was the most, the Chamber of Commerce's.......
This problem was simply unbelievable. It had to be known that this bearing was the foundation of the small Magic Harvester, so it should be made of the best material. But this Hayada Brand small Magic Harvester had only been used for two days and even the bearing had broken. It could be seen just how bad the quality was.
"Guild Leader, we can't do this anymore."
. "A Cantona Chamber of Commerce worker threw away the broken Hayada Brand small Magic Harvester in his hand and complained to Cantona," If it keeps breaking like this, we can't work at all. "
"That's right, chairman, the one in my hand can't hold on much longer." A worker not far away who was still holding on said with a bitter smile.
"Listen, what kind of sound is coming from inside?
I think it won't take long ….. "
Before his voice fell, the small Magic Harvester in his hand suddenly released a strange white light. The light disappeared and the sound disappeared, becoming motionless.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. That worker gave a sigh and let go of his hand. He came in front of Cantona and shook his head as he said, "Chairman, I can't keep doing this.
This damn Hayada Brand Magic Harvester, it's simply a pile of trash. "
"That's right, even if it's not broken, its efficiency can't compare to the Xinfei Brand Magic Harvester.
Not to mention that we've been using the Xinfei Brand Magic Harvesters for three years now and not a single one has broken. At most there are some small problems. "
"That's right, the Xinfei Brand Magic Harvester is so easy to use, it's not as easy to break as this damn Hayada Brand Magic Harvester.
Chairman, it's better to use the Xinfei Brand Magic Harvester, otherwise we can't keep doing this. "
"That's right, that's right. Chairman, take out the Xinfei Brand Magic Harvester. Why don't you use the good one and use this pile of trash?"
"The chairman is worried about the City Lord Manor's rules … …"
"Bullshit rules, we use them ourselves, how can the City Lord Manor control us."
"That's hard to say … …"
… …
Cantona knit his brows and looked at the entrance of Mexilan Village. He found that there was a person riding a bicycle that was quickly approaching the village.
Seeing that person ride to the edge of the field, Cantona and the other workers came forward to greet him.
"Hey, Makarov, why are you only back now?
Didn't I tell you to take the bus and come back quickly?
Why are you riding a bicycle? "Cantona anxiously asked.
Makarov put down the bicycle and spread his hands with a bitter smile, "The price of the bus has increased again, so I thought it wasn't worth it.
Then again, this place isn't that far from the city, so I rode the bicycle. "
"The price increased again?" Everyone was stunned.
"Didn't the price increase just last month?
Now it's increasing again?
How much is it now? "
"Thirty silver coins for a trip … …" Makarov said with a sigh, "It's sixty silver coins for a round trip, don't you think it's a loss to take the bus?"
"Damn!
It only increased to twenty silver coins last month and it's suddenly increased to thirty silver coins this month?
Is this crazy?
It's this expensive, only a ghost would ride it! "
"Damn, I knew that after the Fersen Carriage Company withdrew from the city's public transport system, this thing would definitely increase in price.
But I never thought that it would increase this much!
It only cost eight silver coins for a trip before, alright! "
"The Fersen Carriage Company really is something. They were doing well, why did they withdraw?
Now we can't even afford to take the public transport. "
"You can't blame the Fersen Carriage Company. Didn't you read the « Banta Times »? It was all because of the City Lord Manor's rules that forced them to withdraw, otherwise they would suffer a loss.
Could it be that you think that the Fersen Carriage Company doesn't need to earn money? "
"Even if the City Lord Manor gave the public transport system to that Lafaye Chamber of Commerce, they can't increase the price this much, right?
Can't they let people take the public transport? "
"If you have the skills, why don't you say this to the Lord City Lord?
Don't forget, the reason why we can't use the Xinfei Brand agricultural magic machines is because of the City Lord Manor's rules. "
"Damn, those fellows from the City Lord Manor are simply shameless!"
"Shh ….. Don't speak nonsense … …"
… …
Cantona looked up and cut off everyone's discussion as he asked Makarov, "Let's not worry about the public transport for now. Makarov, did you ask the Hayada Chamber of Commerce?
What did they say? "
Makarov replied with a nod, "I asked and they said that they would send someone to take a look."
"Then they didn't say when they would send someone to fix it?" Cantona asked.
"I also asked this and they said that they could fix it, but they wanted us to pay for it."
"They still want to pay for it?" Everyone was stunned.
"Is there a mistake!
These agricultural magic machines have only been bought for less than a month, alright?
They should still be under warranty, but they actually want us to pay for it? "
"That's right, isn't this too much?
The New Flyer promised to fix it for free for half a year and selectively for free for three years.
This damn Hayada Chamber of Commerce, they can't even fix it for free?
Is this how they do business? "
"Alright, what kind of broken thing are you comparing the Hayada Chamber of Commerce to the New Flyer, aren't you afraid that Chairman Xu will be angry?
What qualifications do they have to compare to the New Flyer?
Are they worthy? "
"Then what do we do?
Could it be that we just accept it? "
Seeing the doubtful gazes of his subordinates, Cantona tightly knit his brows. After thinking about it, he asked Makarov, "Did they say how much it would cost to fix it?"
"They said it's hard to say." Makarov recalled the answer he received from the Hayada Merchant Guild.
Makarov recalled Makarov's words, "If it's a small problem, we'll send it to them for two gold coins each time. If they send someone to fix it, it'll be three gold coins each time.
If it's a big problem, it'll be ten to twenty gold coins depending on the situation. "
Hearing this answer, the surrounding workers couldn't help cursing again.
Of the twenty Hayada Brand Magic Harvesters in the field, fifteen of them were broken and there wasn't a single one that seemed like a small problem.
This meant that to fix all fifteen of them, the Cantona Chamber of Commerce would have to pay close to two hundred gold coins just to fix them.
"Chairman, I feel that even if these broken things are fixed, they'll break again soon. Moreover, with this efficiency, we won't be able to harvest that much."
"That's right, if we keep using them, we won't be able to make enough money to fix them."
"But if we don't use them, what will we do this year?"
"What do we do?
It's clear that we can't keep doing this. "
"We won't do it if we can't keep doing it?
This is the most basic business of our company. "
… …
The group once again looked at Cantona.
At this time, it was up to him as the chairman to make the decision.
Cantona couldn't help giving a bitter laugh. How could he not be troubled right now?
It was very clear that if they kept using these Hayada Brand magic machines, the final result would be that they wouldn't be able to make enough money to fix them.
But if they didn't use them, it meant that they would give up on the most basic and stable business of harvesting farmland.
The only way to solve this problem was to use the Xinfei Brand magic machines again.
But with the rules of the City Lord's Manor, he didn't dare go against them.
"If I knew this earlier, I would have listened to old man Sarkozy's advice and learned from the other companies, giving up on the Lampari Kingdom.
Anyway, the kingdom has already been turned into a mess by those fellows, we can't stay here anymore. "
Cantona gave a sigh in his heart. After thinking about it, he shook his head. When he was prepared to have Makarov go to the Hayada Chamber of Commerce and invite the other side's maintenance staff over, he looked up and found a pure black Magic Sedan driving over from the entrance of Mexilan Village.
