Volume 2 Chapter 76 - Many changes with the small town (1/2)
Hearing this voice, everyone’s expression became a bit strange.
This was because the one who spoke was Baron Belil.
When Baron Belil had just come to Banta City, he had expelled the Frestech Chamber of Commerce from his territory. Everyone could understand that he was breaking off all relations with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had moved to Sandton Manor, Baron Belil had unexpectedly become calm and didn’t cause trouble for Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce like everyone expected.
Based on this situation, everyone couldn’t help guessing that Baron Belil expelling the Frestech Chamber of Commerce from his territory was the Stagg Family’s idea and not his own idea.
But now, Baron Belil had made such a clear opposition that everyone was a bit surprised.
Xu Yi looked at Barong Belil and he wasn’t angry at all, as he said with a faint smile. “Lord Baron, Banta City does indeed not belong to me alone. So if we can successfully change Banta City, it will benefit all the people of Banta City.”
Baron Belil gave another cold snort, “Benefit everyone? Chairman Xu, you think you’re cheating a little child? I think that this benefits only you and your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, right? Otherwise why would you work so hard?”
Xu Yi looked at Baron Belil and thought for a bit before asking, “That means that the Lord Baron is against this overall transformation plan?”
Baron Belil coldly looked at Xu Yi, “Don’t try to trap me with words. This plan is the idea of the Lord City Lord, so of course I’m not against it. I just will not be showing my support.”
Everyone’s expression became even stranger as they thought that his words were quite wonderful.
Since it was raised by the Lord City Lord, not showing support was going against it, what else could you say?
Xu Yi’s reaction was even more wonderful.
After hearing Baron Belil’s words, he actually gave a simple nod and said, “Alright, I understand.”
He didn’t plan on discussing this matter with Baron Belil at all!
Baron Belil was clearly a bit surprised, but since Xu Yi didn’t say anything, if he were to take the initiative to argue with him, it would be a loss of face. So he could only close his mouth and couldn’t say anything.
Xu Yi explained the other images to everyone. Without an exception, these were all images of Banta City after this project was over as imagined by Xu Yi.
Seeing the beautiful scenes in the pictures, the people under the stage almost didn’t dare believe it.
After all, compared to the current somewhat chaotic Banta City, the Banta City in the pictures were just too beautiful. It was something that even Anvilmar City couldn’t compare to.
But everyone still hoped that Banta City could become like the pictures. If this became true, Banta City would be a scene that everyone would be jealous of.
After showing off these artistic paintings, Xu YI changed the topic.
He was very clear that to the people under the stage, no matter how good the pictures were, it couldn’t compare to the benefits that they received.
So after introducing the images, he began explaining the significance the plan would have towards Banta City.
After talking about the various benefits of having industrial and residential areas, one could see the eyes of the company representatives lighting up. It was like they could smell the business opportunity coming from Xu Yi.
Most of the nobles didn’t really care, but after Xu Yi described everything, their hearts were also moved.
Xu Yi spent half an hour to finish explaining the plans. The people under the stage no longer had the same confused looks as before, rather it was clear that they were thinking about all kinds of things.
Seeing this scene, Count Sean couldn’t help looking at Xu Yi with a smile of admiration.
This kid, he really was good at discovering benefits that everyone could enjoy, which made matters he wanted to do easier for people to accept.
The banquet continued for the entire night and when it was finished, Xu Yi’s throat was parched.
At the banquet, there were representatives and nobles that kept asking Xu Yi about specific details, hoping to gain some information so they could know what kind of benefits they would receive.
Xu Yi had to explain to them one by one and give them his analysis.
Although the people left one by one feeling satisfied, Xu Yi had wasted his saliva, so his throat hurt from how dry it was.
“Ai, I won’t do such a thankless job in the future.” After accepting Count Sean’s praise and bidding him farewell, Xu Yi couldn’t help thinking this.
It was currently night and Xu Yi looked up at the moon and stars. He gave up the idea of going home in a horse carriage and began walking home.
The current Banta City was completely different from last year.
