Volume 5 Chapter 101 - You are a hypocrite (1/2)
The letter from Belil with the report on what happened after reached Xu Yi’s hands three days later.
Seeing how people were interested in the Magic Cars in the Candra Empire in the letter, Xu Yi wasn’t that surprised.
Actually, compared to the Magic Sedan, Xu Yi always thought that transport and passenger Magic Cars had more practical uses.
In terms of practicality, it was clear that transport and passenger Magic Cars should be more popular.
In Lampuri Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms, the number of sales clearly demonstrated this.
Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started selling Magic Cars, the Magic Sedans had only sold fifty thousand units. When it came to the various transport and passenger magic machines, their sales numbers had reached five hundred thousand, which was ten times more than the Magic Sedans.
In the surrounding countries, the Magic Cars had already replaced horse carriages. Other than some stubborn people, from the nobles of those countries to the citizens, whether it was transporting goods or people, they all used Magic Cars.
After all, compared to traditional horse carriages, Magic Cars were much better than horse carriages whether it was in terms of speed, carrying capacity, or comfort.
Even if people couldn’t buy Magic Sedans, they would choose to take the Magic Cars that were replacing horse carriages. Or they would rent the Magic Sedans that came from the Lampuri Kingdom, not choosing to ride in horse carriages.
Of course, this also was the benefit of building roads in the surrounding countries, giving the Magic Cars a network of roads to drive across.
Xu Yi promoted the Magic Sedan in the Candra Empire first in hopes of moving the upper class of the Candra Empire with these Magic Sedans. He wanted them to become interested in the Magic Sedans, making them more interested in paving roads.
Then after the roads were laid down in the Candra Empire, it would become logical from the passenger and transport Magic Cars to become popular.
But since there were people that cared about the benefits of the transport Magic Cars ahead of time, becoming interested in them, Xu Yi naturally wouldn’t reject them.
The company Belil set up being called the “Belil Magic Car Store” instead of the “Belil Magic Sedan Store” was from Xu Yi’s suggestion.
In the reply that Xu Yi gave Belil, he clearly stated that if people wanted to buy transport or passenger Magic Cars, Belil could agree to this.
Moreover, Xu Yi promised Belil that he would be able to manage all the Magic Car related business of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce in the Candra Empire, which calmed Belil.
As for the progress report Belil sent, this was related to the Magic Sedan racing event Xu Yi wanted him to open in the Candra Empire.
It should be said that Belil moved very quickly.
In less than half a year in the Candra Empire, he had already become famous among the Wimbledon City nobles. Moreover, not only did he get them to like the Magic Sedans, he had even gathered the young nobles who liked racing cars in secret to hold a car race.
According to what Belil said, this car race was very popular among the young nobles of Wimbledon City. Under his arrangement, they would be holding a race every week at a regular time.
Next Belil would gradually standardize this race. With his relationship to Prince Frank, he would be able to make it more public and it would become an official event that people cared about.
Therefore Belil needed a certain amount of support from Xu Yi. For example, they were still lacking an official race track, as well as people who were skilled in managing it…..
Xu Yi had already prepared these for Belil, so naturally there wasn’t a problem.
From Belil’s report, if everything went smoothly, at the end of the year, they might be able to hold their first official car race in Wimbledon City.
This was very good news for Xu YI because this meant that Magic Sedans were receiving public acknowledgement in Wimbledon City. This was the first time the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products had officially entered the Candra Empire’s market.
Other than this, there was another good piece of news. It was that ambassador Hakanin through an unknown connection had finally gotten the Candra Empire to agree to building a road in the Candra Empire’s southwest province under his name.
This road would start from the Norton Duchy border and cut through the entire southwest province.
It wouldn’t directly connect to Wimbledon City as Xu Yi wanted, but it was already seven hundred kilometers long, which was enough to become the main road in the Candra Empire’s southwest province.
