Volume 4 Chapter 87 - Market that wasn’t inferior (1/2)

Volume 4 After ambassador Hakanin left with the middle aged magician, Kennard couldn’t help saying to Xu Yi with knit brows, “Sir chairman, I understand that you don’t want to offend ambassador Hakanin, but…..giving him all this stuff at once, isn’t it a bit too much?”

“It’s just thirty thousand gold coins, it isn’t much.” Xu Yi said with a smile.

“That depends on who it’s given to.” Kennard said with a serious look, “If it can bring benefits to our company like normal, thirty thousand isn’t considered much. But this ambassador Hakanin…..I can’t see what kind of help he could give us.”

Xu Yi laughed, “Although you and I both feel that there’s nothing to gain from ambassador Hakanin, we have to consider his status.”

“Isn’t he just an ambassador sent by the Candra Empire to the Rudson Kingdom, how important can he be?” Kennard knit his brows even more and revealed a confused look, “To be more frank, since he was sent to a small country like the Rudson Kingdom to be an ambassador, it proves that he has no value in the Candra Empire. Investing in him isn’t considered effective.”

“Then you’re wrong.” Xu Yi shook his head, “This ambassador Hakanin has no skills and has low abilities, but him being an ambassador explains an issue. Although the Rudson Kingdom is a small country like the Lampuri Kingdom, an ambassador is an ambassador and represents the image and will of the Candra Empire, it definitely is not something anyone can do.”

Kennard felt a bit surprised, “Could it be that ambassador Hakanin has some special ability?”

“He doesn’t have any abilities himself.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “But this lord ambassador has a very outstanding big sister and is currently the most favoured concubine of the emperor. Now do you understand why this fellow could become an ambassador?”

Kennard immediately understood.

But thinking about it, he felt that something was off.

“Sir chairman, this is your first time in the Rudson Kingdom, how do you know this much about ambassador Hakanin? Could it be that you already obtained information about the Rudson Kingdom through other channels?”

“No, the information on the lord ambassador came from King Teruc himself.”

Kennard was surprised, “It was actually King Tercu who told you? Why did he tell you all this information?”

“This is one of the sincerities he showed me.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “According to my observations, King Teruc is actually very dissatisfied with this lord ambassador, but only tolerates him because of the Candra Empire.”

Kennard shook his head, “This fellow, no one can take him no matter who it is.”

“Don’t look down on him.” Xu Yi said, “No matter how useless he is, because of his status, he can help our Frestech Chamber of Commerce enter the Candra Empire. You think that I gave him too many household magic machines, but I feel it was too little. Think about it, Kennard, with the personality of this lord ambassador, if he got Magic Sedans and household magic machines, what would he do after returning to the Candra Empire?”

Kennard thought about it before his eyes lit up.

“I understand, this lord ambassador will definitely show off! And this is equal to giving our Frestech Chamber of Commerce plenty of advertising!”

“Now do you understand why I was so generous?” Xu Yi said with a smile.

Kennard nodded and couldn’t help saying in an emotional voice, “Sir chairman, I have to admit, I’m far lacking compared to you in terms of foresight. Did you already think of this when you saw ambassador Hakanin in the motorcade?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and waved his hand, not answering this question.

“Alright, stop flattering me. Before Newman comes looking for us, we should handle things here first.”

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce main store in Caraca City had been here for a year, but this was Xu Yi’s first time inspecting this place.

Before Xu Yi arrived, this place was already notified. Knowing that Xu Yi was here to make an evaluation of the Rudson Kingdom’s magic machine market, they were already prepared.

Xu Yi gave an order and the person in charge of this store took out the finance reports for Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi didn’t care about the exact numbers. He just looked over them before handing them over to Kennard before he began focusing on the total sales report.

Based on this report, before the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started selling in the Rudson Kingdom, there were already Frestech Brand magic machines circulating in the Rudson Kingdom.

But most of that was because of Newman’s relationship with them, bringin back these magic machines to sell in the Rudson Kingdom, so there weren’t that much being sold. At its peak, it didn’t break two hundred thousand gold coins when it came to sales.

When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce set up this store in Caraca City and several branches in various other cities, the sales of the Frestech Brand magic machines soared in the Rudson Kingdom.

Just last month, there were over three hundred and seventy thousand units that were sold in this main store and the branch stores, reaching sales of over five million gold coins.

Although there were the taxes of the Rudson Kingdom, the profit was lower than when selling in the Lampuri Kingdom, their profits still reached over two million gold coins.
