Volu 3 Chapter 15 Investing in the beastn
Seeing chairman Cruise walking away with a thoughtful look on his face, Delil couldn’t help asking Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, you said that for a rchant, the most important thing is benefits? But according to what you described just now, this new source of profit has great benefits, so why are you giving it to the Amrit Chamber of Comrce?”
“It’s not completely giving it to them.” Xu Yi replied with a smile, “You should be able to hear that this new source of profits has benefits for both the Amrit Chamber of Comrce and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce. If we work together and the effects are good, both sides would win. Although the Amrit Chamber of Comrce would earn more, our Frestech Chamber of Comrce doesn’t have any foundations in the construction business at all. If we were to do this ourselves, not ntioning if it would succeed or not, it would consu quite a bit of effort and ti. For , the thing I lack the most are those two things.”
Delil was silent for a bit before suddenly saying, “No wonder the elder was worried about your lifespan. Chairman Xu, if you could live several hundred years like us elves, that would be great.”
Xu Yi laughed, “There is life and death. I am a human, I have to accept the limited lifespan of humans. For , only when I have a limited lifespan can I use my full power to do what I want to do. Then again, don’t I have a chance to beco an Arch Magus or a Grand Magus?”
Delil didn’t say anything.
“Alright, you know life is short and ti is precious, we shouldn’t waste ti here. Co with .”
Xu Yi waved his hand at Delil and moved towards the other chairn in the hall.
The reason for bringing Delil was to use this chance for her to et so of the chairn at this banquet. It was good to see if there was a chance to cooperate with these large companies.
Between giving Xu Yi face and their curiosity towards elves, the other chairn naturally wouldn’t reject talking to Delil.
Delil was nervous at first, but she quickly adapted to talking with everyone.
Although she couldn’t be as smooth as a normal rchant, with her status as an elf, her reactions made it easier to obtain the trust of the other side.
So with just a few short conversations, there were many companies that wanted to cooperate with the Night Song Tribe’s rubber processing factory.
Of course, those companies were the sa as big sister Sara, they had so need for plastic.
They guaranteed that as long as Delil could give them suitable plastic products, they would certainly make an order to the Night Song Tribe’s factory.
Seeing Delil gradually adapt to this environnt, Xu Yi moved to the side and let her face it alone.
The Armani Chamber of Comrce’s chairman Vincent who was already waiting on the side leaned over.
Xu Yi saw him and imdiately asked with a smile, “Hey, chairman Vincent, I’ve heard that you’ve been inspecting on the Black Rice Wasteland for two months now, what are the results?”
Hearing this question, chairman Vincent’s expression beca strange, “I don’t know if it’s good or bad. The good news is that the beastn on the Black Rice Wasteland indeed can’t make clothes and they have a favourable impression of wearing human clothes, so in theory there is a very broad market.”
“Then what is the bad news?”
“The bad news is that the Black Rice Wasteland’s beastn are very poor. To them, even if they exchange the few resources they have with us humans, they prioritize things that they need like salt and other necessities. As for clothes…..I went to many beastn tribes and found that many beastn don’t care about wearing clothes. I even saw over ten beastn tribes where they were walking around naked, looking no different from beasts.”
Seeing the bitter smile on chairman Vincent’s face, Xu Yi said with a faint smile, “This reminds of a joke from my hotown. There were two sales staff that were sent to inspect a beastman tribe. One of the sales workers was very depressed when he ca back and reported that they didn’t wear shoes. The other sales staff was overjoyed as he reported that it was great that the beastn didn’t wear shoes!”
Chairman Vincent laughed, “Chairman Xu, are you laughing at my indecisive feelings?”
“I just want to remind you that for sothing like a market, it can be made if one doesn’t exist. For example, look at the Voller Tribe, aren’t they wearing clothes now?” Xu Yi said.
“That’s right. Beastn didn’t wear clothes before, so we can have them wear clothes. However there’s still the problem of creating a condition where they wear clothes.” Chairman Vincent knit his brows in thought again.
“I’ll give you so notice. Our Frestech Chamber of Comrce is planning on investing in a household magic machine assembly plant near the Voller Tribe this year, specially used to assemble household magic machines.” Xu Yi said.
Chairman Vincent was surprised, “Why? If you want to do assembly work, should it be done in the Falling Rain Valley? No matter how you look at it, it’s much more convenient and safe compared to the Black Rice Wasteland, right?”
“The key point is the cost.” Xu Yi explained, “Speaking of the Black Rice Wasteland, perhaps everyone feels that it is a bit far, but actually you’ll find that comparing it, it’s closer to the north of the kingdom compared to Banta City and it has a direct border with the Sack Kingdom to the north. Adding in the smooth terrain, if we build roads, it’ll be easier to transport to the north part of the kingdom compared to transporting from Banta City.”
“You an that you’ll save on transport costs like this? But I feel that putting a factory in the beastn controlled Black Rice Wasteland is very unsafe.” Chairman Vincent shook his head and said.
“Then do you think that our three companies building the mine and our company’s non-ferrous tal slting factory near the Voller Tribe is safe?” Xu Yi asked.
“It’s also unsafe, otherwise your three companies wouldn’t have put so many guards near the mine.”
“That is only now. After a while, you’ll find that it will be very safe. If soone attacks the mine and the non-ferrous tal slting factory, I dare guarantee that the Voller Tribe’s wolfn and the surrounding tribes’ beastn will respond even more intensely than us.” Xu Yi said with a smile.
“Why?” Chairman Vincent was instantly stunned.
“Because there are many workers hired from the Voller Tribe and the surrounding beastn tribes being hired at the mine and the factory. If the mine and factory are attacked, they will no longer be able to work and it would affect their wages. You think…..that after finally being able to get a fixed wage and being able to buy things from human companies at will, the beastn who have lived their dream lives for just a few months will give up and let it be destroyed?”
Seeing the strange smile on Xu Yi’s face, chairman Vincent couldn’t help asking in a daze, “Chairman Xu, it can’t be that this was your plan from the beginning, right?”
Xu Yi smiled without responding.
Chairman Vincent was silent for a bit before letting out a long sigh.
“I think I understand your aning. Letting these beastn obtain stable incos from stable work and then living stable lives, they will naturally be unwilling to return to their lives of poverty from before. But like this, it is equal to destroying the beastn’s wild nature and taming them. Moreover, this will allow the beastn to have the beastn to gradually have the finances to purchase other things than daily necessities. For example, clothing from our Armani Chamber of Comrce?”
Xu Yi nodded with a smile, “Not bad, chairman Vincent. Now do you know why I said that a market can be created? According to my ideas, these beastn in the future will not just wear clothes. Each beastman family will be using our Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s magic machines. There are over five hundred thousand beastn on the Black Rice Wasteland, this is a huge market equal to several Banta Cities.”
Chairman Vincent couldn’t help shaking his head as he said with a sigh, “Chairman Xu, I really have to say, you really are thinking too far ahead. Beastn are no different from beasts right now, but you want them to use magic machines which are even considered luxuries for us humans. I really don’t know whether your idea is really far ahead or if it’s crazy……”
“Ha, ha, sotis super advanced ideas are no different from crazy ideas.” Xu Yi said while laughing, “Whether I’m treated as a prophet or a lunatic will all depend on if it succeeds or not. So chairman Vicnent, even if you didn’t co looking for , I would have co looking for you. How about it? Are you interested in being the sa as , investing in a few cotton factories on the Black Rice Wasteland? I promise you that investing in the Black Rice Wasteland can save many costs. Other than transportation costs, the biggest thing you’ll be saving is human costs.”
“Oh? What does that an?” Chairman Vincent asked in a curious voice, it was clear he was moved.
“Do you know how much we’re offering the beastn workers every month at our mine?” Xu Yi asked.
“According to your ideas, it shouldn’t be less than the human workers at the Falcao Chamber of Comrce’s mines, right? It should be…..no more than fifteen gold coins?” Chairman Vincent guessed.
“No, it’s only five gold coins!” Xu Yi stretched out his hand.
“This little?” Chairman Vincent’s eyes popped out in shock, “How could those beastn agree to such low wages?”
“Just the opposite, the beastn are very satisfied with this wage and even chairman Cruise and chairman Renersa have thanked many tis for this. As for the wages of the workers at our Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s non-ferrous tal slting factory, it’s even less. It’s only four gold coins a month and those beastn show their gratitude to as the chairman. They always offer sincere blessing to whenever they see .” Xu Yi said in a proud voice.
“This……” Chairman Vincent was still in a bit of disbelief, but after thinking about it, he found it was very reasonable.
The beastn couldn’t get any gold coins at all, even when they exchanged things, they just received normal items from the human rchants.
Now that they could receive those shiny gold coins and use those gold coins to buy the things they needed from the humans, greatly increasing their standard of living.
To them, being able to receive a wage was already good enough, how could they receive the sa high wages as the workers in Banta City?
Chairman Vincent quickly calculated the difference in wage and transportation fee and when comparing it in the end, he was shocked to find that according to the wages of the beastn workers that Xu Yi ntioned before, if he opened a factory on the Black Rice Wasteland, it would greatly decrease his costs!
After drawing this conclusion, chairman Vincent’s expression looking at Xu Yi beca very strange.
This fellow, just how did he think of this?
