Volume 2 Chapter 127 - Electric resistant Camby (1/2)

“Sir chairman, you…..” Kennard looked at Xu Yi with tightly knit brows and he shook his head after a while, as he said with a sigh, “When I talk to the other chairman of the city, they say that you are a wastrel. At first I don’t know why they would call you this, but now…..I think that their appraisal is correct.”

Xu Yi revealed a smile, as if he didn’t care about this appraisal.

“It can’t be considered a waste, the Rudson Kingdom has paid five hundred thousand gold coins for the cement production technology. Moreover, they agreed to give our Frestech Chamber of Commerce a preferential tariff rate when it comes to our company’s products that sell in their country in the future. Like this, I feel we earned quite a bit.”

“But sir chairman, according to the financial stats that manager Sebas made last month, the company’s cement factory had a high profit of seventy thousand gold coins. Even if we obtained five hundred thousand from selling this technology, we have lost the entire Rudson Kingdom market, which is a loss that is far greater than ten times of five hundred thousand. Do you think this is cost effective?” Kennard asked with a pained look.

“Ten times of five hundred thousand? No, no, no, your estimate is too low. If the Rudson Kingdom starts building roads like our Lampuri Kingdom, their consumption of cement would be an astronomical amount. If you calculate it in the end, it should be over ten million gold coins.” Xu Yi said.

“Then why did you agree to sell them the production technology?” Kennard couldn’t help asking.

“Kennard, you haven’t worked with me long enough, so you don’t understand my intentions.” Xu Yi gave a sigh, “If Heinz was here, although he would call me a wastrel, he would be able to understand my thoughts still.”

Kennard shook his head, “Of course I can’t compare to vice chairman Heinz in understanding you and I indeed do not understand your thoughts.”

“Do you remember when you decided to become our company’s general manager, do you remember what I said to you?” Xu Yi asked.

Kennard thought about it, “Are you talking about ‘flying to outer space’?”

“Pretty much.” Xu Yi nodded, “I think that you should be very clear how remote my ideals are and how impractical they are. But to realize this goal, I have to constantly speed up advancement. So if you carefully study the things I did after the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was established, you will find that I never cared about our company monopolizing our technology and frequently sold it, or even gave it away for free.”

“Un, this is something that I really can’t understand.” Kennard gave an honest nod, “If the company kept all this technology, I dare guarantee that the company’s profit would be even more stable and would last longer.”

“But the time it would take would become longer.” Xu Yi said, “I know that as a normal company, you should maintain some kind of rhythm. But if we kept this rhythm, there’s no possibility of realizing my ideal in this life. So I have no choice but to increase the advancement speed and speed up the rhythm of the magic machine industry on the continent.”

But how is this related to your decision of selling the cement production technology to the Rudson Kingdom?” Kennard asked.

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, as he pointed at the smooth road not far away from the window and said, “The biggest limit to the continent’s development is transportation. The public roads would greatly increase this problem, so even if Newman didn’t ask about this, I was already planning on selling the cement production technology to let there be cement factories all over the Lampuri Kingdom and increase the speed of road production. Now is a good time. Kennard, host a press conference tomorrow and announce that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce will be selling the cement production technology.”

Seeing that Xu Yi had made his mind, Kennard could only nod in response.

Seeing the somewhat confused look on Kennard’s face, Xu Yi smiled as he patted his shoulder and said, “Kennard, as my general manager, you just need to hold your chest out and keep looking forward. Before reaching our goal, you don’t need to think about anything unnecessary, understand?”

Kennard revealed a bitter smile, “But sir chairman, your steps are just too big, I can’t catch up to you.”

###

The second day after Xu Yi returned, Kennard held a press conference according to his instructions.

The news that Kennard announced at the press conference of selling the cement production technology created another stir.

As soon as they received this information, countless companies from Banta City and the surrounding cities all came to inquire about the price of buying this technology.

Although the high price of five hundred thousand scared most of the companies away, there were still two companies who still wanted to buy it.

Like this, including the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, just in Banta City and the surrounding cities, there were three companies that bought this technology.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned a million and five hundred thousand gold coins from this.

But this was just the beginning.

A week later, the companies in the other places of the Lampuri Kingdom received this news and all came forward. In the end, there were eight more companies that purchased the cement production technology from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

In total, just from the Lampuri Kingdom, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned five and half million gold coins from selling this technology.

Adding in the five hundred thousand gold coins from the Rudson Kingdom, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned six million gold coins from selling this technology!

Seeing this terrifying income, Kennard’s opposition to Xu Yi’s decision completely disappeared.

It was like Xu Yi said, this cement production technology wasn’t that complicated. The Amrit Chamber of Commerce had already understood a part of it after using it for so long, so even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t sell, not long later, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce would have developed it and wouldn’t need to depend on the Frestech Chamber of Commerce anymore.

Instead of being passive at this time, it was better to sell it because they could obtain a large profit from it.

Xu Yi’s decision obtained quick results.

The cement production technology had been sold for less than a week, but there were several small and large cement factories that appeared in Banta City and the surrounding cities.
