Volume 3 Chapter 94 - The goal is other countries (1/2)

Hank Willson came to Banta City this time for two important things other than accompanying Sophia.

The first was to discuss a new cooperation agreement on behalf of the Walmart Chamber of Commerce.

After cooperating for over a year, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic machines had sold quite well in the Walmart Chamber of Commerce’s stores.

Just the Magic Stove alone, according to the Walmart Chamber of Commerce’s reports from last month, the sales from the branches all over the Lampuri Kingdom reached over a hundred and seventy thousand units.

Although the Walmart Chamber of Commerce received a revenue that averaged no more than one gold coin per Magic Stove, this was just from the Magic Stove alone. If they counted all the other household magic machines, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce earned over three hundred thousand gold coins last month from cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

Because of this, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce’s contract hadn’t reached its end, but they decided to renew their contract with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce a year ahead of time.

In the contract that Hank Wilson took out, Xu Yi only looked over it and found that the conditions in the contract were much more preferential than the last contract that they signed.

For example, in the first contract, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce stated that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would bear the transportation fees and they wouldn’t have any responsibilities.

In this contract, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce offered to cover the transportation fees for the first three hundred kilometers. After three hundred kilometers, they would decide based on the circumstances.

There was another condition which was that for places with roads, even if it surpassed three hundred kilometers, the Walmart Chamber of Commerce could pay for the transportation. They didn’t need the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to find another transport method.

But after seeing this, Xu Yi shook his head and pointed it out as he said to Hank Wilson, “As for the matter of transportation, I represent the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to approve and thank you for the Walmart Chamber of Commerce taking the initiative to bear the transportation fees, but when it comes to transportation, our company has a contract with the Fersen Carriage Company and all our transportation business is handed to them. I’m afraid that I can’t hand this to you.”

“Oh? There’s such a contract?” Hank Wilson thought for a bit before asking, “Chairman Xu, did you reach this agreement with the Fersen Carriage Company because they bought a large amount of Magic Cars from you?”

“It could be said like this.” Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile

Actually this was only one of the reasons. The real reason was that Xu Yi hoped to use this cooperation in having the Fersen Carriage Company change from horse carriages to Magic Cars to change the method of transportation in the Lampuri Kingdom.

Of course, once the Magic Car was released, because of how much faster and safer it was compared to horse carriages, it was accepted by everyone in a short period of time.

In just a few months, not only did the companies in Banta City adapt to this new method of transportation, starting to let the Fersen Carriage Company ship their cargo, even the companies of nearby cities and further cities were placing orders with the Fersen Carriage Company.

The Fersen Carriage Company had already set up branches in the surrounding cities, taking care of this business.

Of course, the Fersen Carriage Company developing this fast was greatly related to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only selling Magic Cars to them for now.

During this time, countless companies had wanted to buy Magic Cars from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but they were all rejected on the basis of not enough production.

But now, Hank Wilson had come with the same request on behalf of the Walmart Chamber of Commerce.

“Other than this new cooperation agreement, the main task this time was hoping to buy some Magic Cars.” Hank Wilson looked at Xu Yi with a serious look, “Chairman Xu, chairman Rundst places great importance on these Magic Cars, so he told me that I had to buy some from you no matter what.”

Xu Yi didn’t directly reject him and thought for a bit before asking, “You want to form your own transport group?”

Hank Wilson revealed a faint smile, “Shouldn’t it be called a logistics group, chairman Xu?”

Hearing the word “logistics” coming from Hank Wilson, Xu Yi understood. It was clear that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce had already investigated the Magic Car, so Hank Wilson coming to Banta City meant that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce was very serious about buying Magic Cars.

“Alright, it’s a transport group. Can I ask, how big of a logistics group are you planning to set up?” Xu Yi asked.

“If possible, the bigger the better.” Hank Wilson said with a smile, “But right now, our goal has been set on five hundred Magic Cars for now. As for the passenger cars, our company isn’t planning to meddle at all.”

“Oh? Only five hundred?” Xu Yi was a bit surprised.

He thought that for a top company like this Walmart Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn’t be worse than the Fersen Carriage Company, but he never thought that they would only want five hundred.

It had to be known, just the Fersen Carriage Company had over two thousand transport Magic Cars.

Even at this time, most of them were rolling along the roads of the Lampuri Kingdom. It could be said that they were greatly driving the flow of goods in the Lampuri Kingdom.
