Volume 5 Chapter 59 - Waiting for others to pick me up (1/2)

“You’re really confident in letting prince Frank earn several million a year? Isn’t your Frestech Chamber of Commerce only able to earn that much each year?”

Baron Belil asked Xu Yi with a look of disbelief before looking back at prince Frank’s manor that was disappearing behind the horse carriage with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Xu Yi’s attitude when facing manager Como was too strong and his words seemed like boasting to Baron Belil. He had thought that manager Como would fly into a rage and chase them out.

But without knowing why, manager Como only had a look of disbelief at first before calming down. But he didn’t give Xu Yi a certain answer and said without any emotion that he would pass all this onto prince Frank, leaving it up to his highness to decide.

Then manager Como had directly sent them off.

Baron Belil looked at Xu Yi who was calm and was even smiling and thought that chairman Xu really was crazy.

No matter how famous he was in the Lampuri Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms, prince Frank was a prince of the Candra Empire. Their status greatly differed, so why did he say such bold words in front of manager Como?

Sensing Baron Belil’s gaze, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He didn’t tell Baron Belil that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s annual income last year was close to twenty million, several million was something from several years ago.

But thinking about it, in order for Baron Belil to remain calm, Xu Yi gave him an explanation.

“I’m not certain that I can definitely do this, I was just describing a possibility for prince Frank. Moreover, I’m certain that as long as prince Frank is willing to cooperate with us, helping him earn several million gold coins a year isn’t a hard thing and he can even earn more than that.”

“You’re this certain?” Baron Belil slightly knit his brows.

“Of course.” Xu Yi had a confident smile on his face, “In the end, the Candra Empire is several times bigger than the Lampuri Kingdom, the Rudson Kingdom, and the surrounding countries added together, so they have more than ten times the people. Our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can earn this much money in the small kingdoms, of course we can earn more in the Candra Empire.

“It does sound very reasonable, but chairman Xu, prince Frank might not believe you have this ability. If he feels that you are only boasting, what will you do?”

Xu Yi gave a calm laugh, “If prince Frank doesn’t even have this bit of boldness and eyesight, then he isn’t qualified to cooperate with our company.”

Baron Belil couldn’t help taking a deep breath.

This Xu Yi, his tone really was strong.

What kind of person was prince Frank, he was the respected prince of the Candra Empire!

Even on the Sines Continent, he was one of the people at the very peak.

This incomparably noble and high up person, Xu Yi actually said……he wasn’t qualified!

As if he could guess what Baron Belil was thinking, Xu Yi said with a smile, “There’s no need to doubt it, this is my judgement as a merchant. If prince Frank can’t see the interests in cooperating with our company, that means that he isn’t a qualified merchant. This is unrelated to him as a prince.”

Baron Belil shook his head. He thought that if prince Frank was as simple as you thought, this problem would be much easier to solve.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the trip.

The black horse carriage brought them to the border of the Candra Empire and the Norton Duchy, leaving them there.

The two crossed the border and relied on their memory to find the Magic Sedan Xu Yi had left in the Norton Duchy.

When they got in, seeing how eager Baron Belil looked, Xu Yi smiled and gestured for him to sit in the driver’s seat.

Baron Belil gave a chair and sat in without any courtesy, grabbing the steering wheel.

“Hey, chairman Xu, this is your personal Magic Sedan, so it must be much stronger than the Magic Sedans that are being sold, right?”

Xu Yi smiled without saying a thing.

Baron Belil’s excitement had completely disappeared half an hour later.

He slapped the steering wheel and angrily complained to Xu Yi, “I say…..Chairman Xu, this is your personal vehicle! It’s fine if it doesn’t drive fast, but why isn’t it comfortable to sit in? You are the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman, shouldn’t they make the best vehicle just for you?”

Xu Yi revealed a smile, “What? You think that the car that I use has to be better than the ones being sold?”

“Of course!” Baron Belil raised his voice, “You are the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman, the symbol of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce! If even the Magic Sedan you use is like this, do you think that people will feel confident in your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Sedans?”

“Of?” Xu Yi revealed a bit of surprise, “Is this your idea or the idea of all the people who buy Magic Sedans?”

“This is the idea of a normal person, alright?” Baron Belil looked at Xu Yi in surprise, “Which chairman would use the worst thing from their company?”

Xu Yi stroked his chin and fell into thought.

“This really does sound reasonable. It seems like there is a bit of problem with how I didn’t care about my own comfort. Alright, when I get back, I’ll have them specially design a luxury car just for me.”

“That’s more like it.” Baron Belil patted the steering wheel again, “This poor car, how can it fit your status? Let me tell you, I wouldn’t want this car even if you gave it to me.”

“Then if I give it to you now, do you want it?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.
