Volume 2 Chapter 29 - Product exchange (1/2)
It should be said that Count Sean was completely right.
As long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce became stronger, so strong that people would have scruples about messing with them, then Xu Yi would not have to worry about a large noble family swallowing them up one day.
But for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that couldn’t even “stand at the top of a small city like Banta City”, it was without a doubt a very long path.
Of course, a meal had to be eaten mouthful by mouthful and a road had to be taken step by step, one can’t rush things at all.
If was a good thing that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was developing at a high speed. Compared to when they were established last year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had become several times stronger in comparison.
The simplest method of comparing was to compare numbers.
When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was formed last year, they sold a total of less than a thousand Magic Fans in their first month and received less than two thousand gold coins.
Back then Xu Yi had used the large blacksmiths in the city to create the outer cover, which had a high cost. So calculating everything, the final net profit was less than five hundred gold coins.
Although this was a large amount to Xu Yi and Heinz at the time, compared to the current Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it wasn’t even equal to the amount needed to buy materials for the research facility each month.
According to Sebas’ April finance report, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had quite a bit of profit now.
Among them was the household magic machines, which had stable sales from the Automatic Magic Rice Cooker and the Magic Lamp.
Other than the explosive sale from when they were just released, there were six thousand seven hundred and forty eight Automatic Magic Rice Cookers sold in April, for a total of close to thirteen thousand gold coins in profit. The Magic Lamps sold eight thousand two hundred and eleven units, which had a net profit of just over five thousand gold coins.
Moreover, as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s fame spread to other places in the Lampuri Kingdom, even merchants from cities that were over four hundred kilometers away from Banta City came to place orders. Right now, the sales for these two magic machines still kept growing!
Other than this, the sales for the Magic Bread Maker released in April was simply shocking.
The product announcement was in the middle of April and according to the data, in the latter half of April, the Magic Bread Maker actually sold over a hundred and fifty thousand units.
Other than the fact that the Lampuri Kingdom’s main source of grain was in bread, the more important thing was the effect of the explosive news of Agnes the elf appearing in front of everyone.
The Magic Bread Maker had a price of four gold coins, but it cost less than one and a half gold coins. Therefore the net profit of the Magic Bread Maker reached a terrifying three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins!
Although because the household magic machine workshop couldn’t keep up with this terrifying amount in a short period of time, so this profit was thinned out in the end, such a terrifying figure had even shocked Xu Yi.
Calculating all of this, the net profit of the household magic machine workshop in just April was close to four hundred thousand gold coins!
Compared to the household magic machine workshop, the magic machine workshop had even more explosive net profits.
For example, in the contract the Frestech Chamber of Commerce signed with the agricultural department for thirty thousand agricultural magic machines, the price of that order reached a terrifying one million and seven hundred thousand gold coins.
Taking away the cost, the net profit of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already exceeded one million gold coins.
This was just from a single order.
Other than the order from the agricultural department, the magic machine workshop also took other orders. The largest was with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce for ten thousand Magic Drills. The price was set at a high seven hundred and eighty thousand gold coins and the net profit was calculated at close to five hundred thousand gold coins.
Next was the Magic Concrete Mixers, Magic Concrete Sprayers, and other concrete related magic machines that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce had ordered. It reached a high price of six hundred and thirty thousand gold coins. Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce hadn’t finished researching these magic machines, they couldn’t calculate the total net profit, but it was estimated to be at least over three hundred thousand gold coins.
Other than these two large customers, there were many other small companies that wanted to enter the magic machine industry, so they bought production magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi agreed to them all and sold a total of three thousand six hundred and forty one production magic machines, earning a profit of close to two hundred thousand.
Adding it up together, the magic machine workshop had earned a profit of over two million gold coins!
Of course, because of the limits of the magic machine workshop, the time for these orders were very long. For example, the order for the agricultural department was for summer of next year. So if it was divided into months, the magic machine workshop’s net profit couldn’t compare to the household magic machine workshop.
Camby was usually a bit depressed over this.
“Chairman, me and the brothers work ourselves to death each day, why can’t we earn as much money as Heinz’s side?” Camby complained to Xu Yi.
Even though the manager of the household magic machine workshop was now Ankhto, Camby was used to calling Heinz the representative of the household magic machine workshop side.
