Volume 5 Chapter 102 - Without the adventuring spirit (1/2)

Since Xu Yi released the steel making technology and used the slaves to exchange for them, in these months, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had obtained over thirty thousand slaves.

Xu Yi had sent these slaves to the islands on the sea and he had treated them as the workers for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on these islands.

There were big and small islands. The big islands could hold up to ten thousand people and the small ones could only hold several hundred. After the thirty thousand slaves were all sent, there was only half of the islands that were filled. There were more than ten islands that Xu Yi still didn’t have enough people for.

Xu Yi wasn’t in a rush, it would take a long time to construct this chain of island bases and it was a large investment, so it couldn’t be completed in a short period of time.

According to the plan, they just needed to construct bases on the islands to the north near the Black Rice Wasteland and to the south along the Rudson Kingdom’s coast.

After these island bases were complete, the next step of the plan was to build the island bases in the Candra Empire’s southern seas and…..in the seas around the Sack Kingdom.

April of year 3787, the Stantine Duchy’s early spring was already as hot as early summer in many other places.

When it came to this time each year, the beach near the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main base would be filled with people who were enjoying their free time.

The swimsuit had already become popular in the Stantine Duchy, so looking over the beach, there were beautiful women in sexy swimsuits all over. They might have white skin or healthy bronze skin as they walked around half naked, making people stunned when they looked at them.

However, the situation at the beach was clearly different from normal. The eyes of people weren’t focused on the revealed skin, but they were all looking at the sea.

Today was the day the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet came back.

This trip was different from before. This time, the transport fleet had gone over five thousand kilometers to reach the most eastern seas of the continent.

It was said that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom on the eastern coast had reached a deal. Their first cooperation was through this transport fleet which would bring a bunch of goods from here to there and then when it came back, it would also bring large amounts of goods from the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.

The Stantine Duchy was on the southwest corner of the continent and the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom was in the southeast corner. There was a full five thousand kilometers between them.

For most people, this was a distance that they would never traverse in their entire lives.

If it wasn’t for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom cooperating, using the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s powerful transport fleet to contact the other side, the Stantine Duchy’s people would never be able to contact the other country.

Now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet was back from the Nozdormu Business Union, they would definitely bring many treasures from the other side that would broaden their views.

So when they learned that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport fleet would be back today, countless people gathered on the beach. They enjoyed the sea breeze while waiting for the arrival of the fleet.

“Hey, chairman Xu, do you really think that the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom is worth investing in?”

In Xu Yi’s private manor on the cliff not far away, there was a fat middle aged man who looked back from the sea to look at Xu Yi as he asked this.

Hearing this question from him, the merchants who were on the platform by the cliff all turned to look at Xu Yi with doubt in their eyes.

These people were the chairmen of the magic machine companies close to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Today Xu Yi had gathered them together to discuss investing in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom with them.

Even if these chairmen had earned quite a bit of benefits from cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so they trusted Xu Yi very much, they were still very hesitant over Xu Yi’s proposal of investing in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.

In the end, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom was just too far.

That place was over five thousand kilometers away, this was simply another world for them, so naturally they didn’t feel assured.

“In terms of business, I must say that it is very worth it.” Xu Yi looked over these people and gave a nod with a slight smile, “The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom is equal to the Lampuri Kingdom before the appearance of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it is completely empty in terms of magic machines. If there are any companies willing to explore this market, they would certainly be able to easily occupy a portion of this market.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

“But chairman Xu, if you have this idea, why doesn’t the Frestech Chamber of Commerce just monopolize it? Why do you need us all to go?” Another person asked.

Xu Yi spread his hands and casually said, “My views have always been to share money with everyone. Since this market is very promising, I want everyone to develop it together and earn the benefits together.”

Everyone was silent for a bit before they couldn’t help nodding again.

If this was said by anyone else, they would all think that they were lying.

But Xu Yi always supported the development of his peers, which made them feel that Xu Yi wasn’t lying.

“I know that you all have concerns about investing in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom because of how far it is, but I must remind you all that as merchants, we need to have a sense of adventure at times. Benefits exist with risk and risks come with benefits. Taking risks to earn benefits, isn’t that something that we as merchants should do?”

Everyone was silent for a bit before a merchant gave a soft cough, “Chairman Xu, you’re right, but I think……before the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom representative arrives, there’s no meaning in talking about this.”
