Volume 1 Chapter 39 (1/2)

Farming machinery

Late into the night, the banquet in Viscount Leslie’s manor had finally ended. The guests had already departed and the manor finally regained its tranquility.

In the main hall that was slightly messy after the banquet, Viscount Leslie was staring at Xu Yi who was currently talking to Still. There was a look of admiration that couldn’t he hidden on his face.

Like Still had guessed, he had held this banquet under Xu Yi’s request. The most important goal was to help Xu Yi sell the Magic Air Conditioner that he had just invented.

Xu Yi had set the Magic Air Conditioner as a middle to high class product, so naturally it targeted those with status and high positions in Banta City. the most important ones were those people with net worth.

At this banquet this time, because of some intentional interference from Viscount Leslie, it could be said that all the guests fulfilled this requirement.

Xu Yi’s request for Viscount Leslie had only been this, he did not request him to participate, so Viscount Leslie never knew what Xu Yi would actually do. However, he knew now that Xu Yi had made quite a bit of harvest at this banquet.

This was because during the banquet, there were quite a few people who would mention the somewhat conspicuous Magic Air Conditioner when they came to talk to Viscount Leslie. After they learned of the price and current consumption cost of the Magic Air Conditioner, not a single guest didn’t reveal their willingness to buy it.

Even the City Lord, Lord Count Sean Samo was an exception.

Therefore Viscount Leslie was certain that these Magic Air Conditioners would become all the rage among the Banta City nobles. The one that caused this trend, in the eyes of the nobles, it would be Viscount Leslie.

“If those fellows these matters had already been calculated by Xu Yi, I wonder what kind of thoughts they would have?” Viscount Leslie secretly thought in his heart.

At this time, Xu Yi had ended his conversation with Still and walked over.

“Lord Viscount, the banquet tonight has been quite the success. I really have to thank you.” Xu Yi said with a smile.

“There is no need to thank me, I could be considered a major shareholder of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.” Viscount Leslie shook his head, “There is a question that I have to ask you. Xu Yi, there are only those few rich people in Banta City, there is a limit to the number of Magic Air Conditioners you can sell in Banta City. The profit, wouldn’t it be less than the Magic Fan?”

“You don’t have to worry about this.” Xu Yi laughed, “Since this Magic Air Conditioner is considered a middle to high class product, then the sales plan for this is naturally different from the Magic Fan. I have already signed an agreement with the Farsak Chamber of Commerce in Saltan City, there will be a special store that will open in Saltan City soon that will specialize in selling our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products. When the time comes, our Frestech Brand Magic Air Conditioner will also enter Saltan City.”

“Saltan City?” Viscount Leslie suddenly thought of something, “That’s right, there were two young nobles that came from Saltan City to visit their relatives, you wouldn’t have made contact with them already, right?”

Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile, “The Lord Viscount’s reaction is quite fast.”

Viscount Leslie’s gaze looking at Xu Yi instantly became more serious.

This fellow, he had already calculated this point, he really was quite terrifying.

But changing this thought, Viscount Leslie really had to admire his own foresight.

Luckily he had seen through Xu Yi’s unusualness from the events from before and had decided to cooperate with him. Otherwise, once he missed this chance, he would have missed out on many opportunities.

Not mentioning the others, just based on the sale of the Magic Fans, in just a single month, Viscount Leslie had already earned over a thousand gold coins from this.

Even with Viscount Leslie’s net worth, one thousand gold coins already couldn’t be considered a small amount.

Moreover, Viscount Leslie deeply believed that after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce became even bigger, the income brought by his 30% share would also gradually increase. In the end, it would far exceed a thousand gold coins.

“Lord Viscount, other than the Magic Air Conditioner, there is another thing I want to discuss with you.” Xu Yi then said.

“Oh? What is it? Speak freely.”

Xu Yi considered it for a bit before saying, “Lord Viscount, it’s about to enter September and your territory should have reached its fall harvest stage, right?”

Viscount Leslie was stunned. He never thought that Xu Yi would suddenly jumped to this topic.

“Ah, that’s right, it’s almost harvest time. What are you asking this for?”

Xu Yi laughed, “Do you still remember the little slave I bought from you last time? The reason I bought her back then was because she had lost a cow, which would greatly affect the fall harvest. Because of this, the guards almost beat her to death.”

Viscount Leslie naturally had heard Butler Brunei report this matter before. He looked at Xu Yi and said with a cold snort, “What? Do you want to ask for justice for this little slave right now? Let me tell you, it is very hard to train a cow right now, a cow is worth more than a single slave. She actually lost a cow, beating her to death is actually taking it easy on her.”
