Volume 3 Chapter 166 - Who says I can’t afford it (1/2)

After watching Evita leave, Xu Yi came to old man Sarkozy and the small nobles on the side.

It was completely different from how they were arguing before. Both sides had smiles now and they were much calmer.

Seeing Xu Yi come over, the small nobles took the initiative to reconcile. They said that their horse carriage wasn’t driving properly and hit the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport Magic Car, it couldn’t be blamed on old man Sarkozy.

Old man Sarkozy knew that he was being bathed in the light of the “Frestech Chamber of Commerce” and Xu Yi. He was very willing to compensate the small nobles for their losses, including the repair fees for their two horse carriages and the medical costs for their injuries.

The small nobles naturally acted like important people, saying that old man Sarkozy didn’t need to compensate them, they didn’t care about this small matter at all.

Everyone was happy, so one of the small nobles said with a smile, “These two horse carriages have high repair costs, so you might not be able to afford them. Giving chairman Xu some face, we won’t haggle with you that much.”

These words made old man Sarkozy angry as he shouted with wide eyes, “What? You’re looking down on this old man? Your horse carriages cost a lot to repair? Then tell me and let’s see if I can afford it or not?”

That small noble also realized that he had misspoke, but he wasn’t willing to lose face in front of an old farmer, so he raised his neck and said, “What? One horse carriage costs three hundred gold coins to build, can you afford that?”

“Not just three hundred gold coins, it’s just six hundred gold coins for the two horse carriages and I thought it was a lot of money.” Old man Sarkozy gave a cold snort and dug in his chest, taking out a sparkling golden bill, “Here, there’s a thousand gold coins there! Give me four hundred in return!”

The small nobles looked at this gold bill and found that it was indeed for one thousand gold coins, as well as coming from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. This instantly stunned them.

To these people, old man Sarkozy was just a normal old farmer. Even if he earned a bit from transporting cargo for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn’t earn that much. How could he take out several hundred gold coins?

But they never thought that old man Sarkozy would take out a thousand gold coins!

The small noble who argued with old man Sarkozy swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He reached out for the gold bill, but a hand from the side stopped him.

“Old man Sarkozy, take back your money.” Xu Yi grabbed the small nobles hand and looked at him, forcing that small noble to shrink his head back, “You do have to compensate them since they are injured, but based on what you just discussed, old man Sarkozy, you just need to pay them a bit of repair fees and mental damage compensation. I think…..fifty gold coins should be enough. Do you guys have any objections?”

The small nobles all shook their heads.

Although their horse carriage had fallen to the ground and seemed seriously damaged, it wasn’t that exaggerated. It would be no problem as long as they brought it back for repairs.

As for their injuries…..It was just a few scrapes, what injuries were there?

As for the mental damage compensation that Xu Yi mentioned, they didn’t know what it meant at all.

In short, fifty gold coins had already surpassed their expectations.

They thought that old man Sarkozy didn’t have money at all and they couldn’t gain anything. It was no use even if they killed old man Sarkozy, so they were prepared to count it as bad luck.

But of course they were satisfied with fifty gold coins as compensation.

Old man Sarkozy naturally didn’t have any objections.

When he took out the thousand gold coin bill, he actually regretted how impulsive he was. Now that Xu Yi had helped him mediate, of course he would take advantage of this opportunity. He dug around in his purse and took out fifty gold coins for the nobles.

With both sides reconciling, Xu Yi nodded and prepared to leave.

He had planned on heading back to have lunch with Still, but he had wasted quite a bit of time on this matter.

When he turned to leave, the small nobles stopped him.

“This…..Chairman Xu, can you tell us, this…..Un…..This old man Sarkozy, does he just help your company transport goods?” A small noble pointed at old man Sarkozy and asked.

“It can’t be considered that because old man Sarkozy bought the Magic Car for himself and was only helping our company transport goods this time. Normally he would be helping other companies.” Xu Yi replied.

The small nobles all looked at old man Sarkozy.

Old man Sarkozy nodded, “Un, I help transport goods for many companies in the city, but I’ve helped the Frestech Chamber of Commerce more.”

“Just this?” The small nobles kept asking, “You didn’t do anything else?”

“What do you mean by that?” Old man Sarkozy was confused by their questions, “I’m only responsible for transporting goods, what else can I do?”

“You can earn that much money from transporting goods?” The nobles didn’t believe this, but they had no choice but to believe when they thought about how old man Sarkozy took out a thousand gold coin bill earlier.

After whispering among themselves for a bit, the small nobles asked Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu…..Do you think…..if we gathered a bit of money, can we buy a few transport Magic Cars from your company?”

Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling, “You can, why can’t you? What? You were moved after hearing that old man Sarkozy earned all this money from transporting goods?”
