Volume 4 Chapter 61 - Individual Magic Bazooka (1/2)
Xu Yi was surprised, “There’s actually this many?”
Hart said with a bitter smile, “Yes, I never thought that the fellows on that side would be crazy. There were many people who wanted to take the equipment that we were wearing.”
Xu Yi was a bit speechless.
This time the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sent their guards to the Black Rice Wasteland to purge the beastmen, while also letting them test the new military magic machines.
At first there was no interest when the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards moved alone. But when they worked with Seveni’s guards and the guards of the other companies, through fighting together many times, countless people were shocked by the battle strength of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s guards. They were interested in the military magic machines that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce guards used.
At first only the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Cruise asked Xu Yi to buy some military magic machines for his company’s guards, but then as they worked together more and more, the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, and the other companies that moved to the Black Rice Wasteland requested military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
When the guards of these companies were equipped with military magic machines and they found their battle strength clearly increased, the military magic machines became more popular and more orders came in.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had their profits impacted from shifting out of the Lampuri Kingdom half a year ago, but now that because they opened the market for military magic machines, their gross profits actually surpassed last year.
Just in the last month, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s gross profits surpassed one million gold coins.
For the household magic machines, although it increased a bit compared to before, reaching four hundred thousand gold coins, it was still lacking compared to the same time last year.
Other than this, the production magic machine department’s profits had increased from selling Magic Sedans and large transport Magic Cars, surpassing three hundred thousand gold coins.
As for the remaining three hundred thousand in profits, that came from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s arms department that had been created for less than a year.
Most of it came from selling military magic machines to the guards of the other large companies.
This time when Hart led the two hundred guards to the Black Rice Wasteland, he had brought the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s newest military magic machine with the hope of trying to promote it.
Although Xu Yi was confident that the other companies would be very interested in this, he never would have thought that Hart would be bringing back a large stack of orders.
Opening up the bag, he found that there were a total of thirty seven orders inside.
Other than the companies that had moved to the Black Rice Wasteland, there were some companies that were still in the Lampuri Kingdom.
“Did you tell them that if they wanted to buy it from inside the Lampuri Kingdom, because of the tariffs, it would be more expensive?” Xu Yi asked Hart.
“I said it, but the people sent by those companies said that price wasn’t an issue, they just wanted the goods.” Hart replied.
Xu Yi took the thirteen orders from the Lampuri Kingdom and laughed.
“Hart, tell me…..of these companies, how many have large nobles behind them?”
Hart revealed a grin, “Sir chairman, I’m afraid you’re wrong. In my opinion, you should be asking how many companies don’t have nobles behind them.”
“Un, you’re right.” Xu Yi looked through each order before shaking his head with a simple, “Forget it, we don’t care what kind of lord nobles are behind them, we just need to know that they’ll give us money. Hart, did you explain to them how the orders will go?”
“I told them.” Hart nodded, “They will send people to the Black Rice Wasteland to take our goods, exchanging money for the goods. We don’t need to care about anything that happens next.”
“Very good, it seems like these lord nobles aren’t willing to attract attention which suits me.” Xu Yi fell into thought for a bit before saying to Hart, “Since the other side wants to buy, then we have nothing we’re not willing to sell. Give Kennard these orders later, he will take care of it.”
Hart nodded. After hesitating a bit, he reached into his chest and took out a letter for Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was a bit confused since there weren’t any clear markings on this letter. When he opened it, he found that it was a letter from the current Lampuri Kingdom’s western army commander Varian Lantis.
Xu Yi had only met this commander Lantis once through Seveni’s introduction, but why was he now writing a letter and having Hart bring it over, acting all mysterious?
Opening the letter, Xu Yi understood.
There were no pleasantries in this letter. This letter only had a single meaning, it was that the western army wanted to buy military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
After he finished reading the letter, Xu Yi deeply knit his brows, “Although I heard that armies in the royal army have the right to govern themselves, they still have to receive approval from the royal army, right? Commander Lantis is buying these military magic machines from our company, has he obtained the approval of the royal army?”
