Volume 5 Chapter 51 - Taking the high end road (1/2)

“Chairman Xu, last time you promised me…..that new type Fire Engine Magic Sedan, what is going on now? This time…..Oh, no, wasn’t it supposed to come out last month?”

Seeing Baron Belil who had a nervous look, but still had a trace of respect in his eyes, Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling. He thought that worldly matters really were hard to predict.

The first time he saw this Baron Belil, he had come to Banta City on behalf of the Stagg Family. He had replaced Viscount Leslie in managing the Stagg Family’s land in Banta City and the first thing he did was chase the Frestech Chamber of Commerce out of his territory.

Baron Belil had been so arrogant before and always looked down on Xu Yi when he saw him, as if he didn’t place Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in his eyes at all.

However, after four years, the Stagg Family had disappeared in the Lampuri Kingdom’s civil war and had turned into history.

If it wasn’t because of Leslie that Xu Yi had made a request to Seveni, the Stagg Family would only have had a path of death.

There were only a few people left in the giant Stagg Family now, in the line of direct succession, other than Leslie, there was only Baron Belil.

Seveni out of respect for Xu Yi had not only left Baron Belil’s surname, she had even left him his title and his small territory outside of Banta City.

This meant that compared to before, without the influence of the destruction of the Stagg Family, Baron Belil’s life didn’t change from before.

At the same time, with Leslie’s special request, Xu Yi had given Baron Belil a way out. He had let him cooperate with the magic machine companies of Banta City, earning him several tens of thousands of gold coins each year, which gave him a decent life.

Of course, compared to when they first met, when Baron Belil saw Xu Yi now, he didn’t act arrogant at all. Rather, he had become respectful and even occasionally flattered him.

“There’s no hope this month, but if everything goes smoothly, the experiment should be a success next month.” Xu Yi shook his head as he replied.

“It’s still next month?” Baron Belil’s face was filled with disappointment, “I even bragged to those fellows that I would get your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s new Magic Sedan this month, the one that can even reach a hundred kilometers an hour.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh, “Relax, as long as the new Magic Sedan is developed, I will give the first one to you, so you can have some face in front of those fellows. How about it?”

Baron Belil nodded with a smile, “Un, un. Chairman Xu, you have always been kind, I understand that. But…..if it can be a bit faster, I hope it can be as fast as possible.”

After saying this, Baron Belil mysteriously looked around before coming to Xu Yi’s side, lowering his voice, “His majesty prince Frank is also very interested in this new Magic Sedan.”

“Oh?” Xu Yi’s brows raised, “His majesty Frank also knows about this?”

Baron Belil gave a laugh, looking very confident.

“I wrote to him before, specially telling him about the advantages of this Magic Sedan. Prince Frank’s reply was that he was very interested in this and even asked me if I could get one for him.”

Xu Yi slowly nodded. After thinking about it, he said, “Belil, respond to his highness Frank. If he is interested in the Magic Sedan, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce is willing to give him a newest Magic Sedan for free. If he is interested in power, when we develop the new Fire Engine Magic Sedan next month, we can also give him one for free as soon as possible.”

“For free?” Baron Belil had an envious look, “Chairman Xu, can you also give me one? Hei, hei, your newest Magic Sedan will cost several thousand gold coins and my funds are a bit tight right now, hei, hei…..”

Xu Yi calmly looked at him.

“If you can get his highness Frank to take our company’s present, there’s no problem in giving you two new Fire Engine Magic Sedans.”

“This……” Baron Belil’s expression became bitter, “The emperor has strict demands of the princess, they aren’t allowed to accept the presents of others, not to mention those of merchants. His highness Frank also has many scruples on this, so this request might not……”

“If you can do it, I’ll give you one, otherwise there’s nothing to talk about.” Xu Yi directly cut Baron Belil off.

Baron Belil gave a bitter laugh. He just walked around in a few circles while muttering under his breath.

Xu Yi shook his head with a smile before reminding him, “Belil, I’m not telling you that his highness Frank has to take a Magic Sedan for free. I just need him to have a Magic Sedan, I don’t care how he gets it, do you understand what I mean?”

Baron Belil suddenly stopped as his eyes lit up, “Really?”

Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile.

Baron Belil instantly became excited as he gave a laugh. His mind turned before he said in a loud voice, “That’s much easier! Chairman Xu, if I help you with this matter, can you…..”
