Volume 5 Chapter 146 - Lavender Chamber of Commerce (1/2)

In the discussion between the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Candra Empire navy, it wasn’t just the Frestech Chamber of Commerce fulfilling the requests of the Candra Empire navy.

In their discussion, maintaining the guard ship was only the most basic problem. What the two really needed to discuss was the request the Frestech Chamber of Commerce made to the Candra Empire navy.

According to the contract they signed, the Candra Empire would buy three guard ships from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce at five hundred thousand gold coins per ship. They would use other conditions to repay the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, otherwise how could the missing one and a half million per ship be easily filled.

Leaving their subordinates to discuss the maintenance issue, Russell led Xu Yi to another room on the military compound.

In this place, there was a slightly fat man with a friendly smile on his face waiting for Xu Yi. There was a sharp look in his eyes, it was clear that this middle aged man was more a merchant than a soldier.

In fact, he was indeed a merchant.

“Chairman Xu, this is the Lavender Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Robert Zenny.”

The middle aged man revealed a warm smile and reached his hand out to Xu Yi, as he said with a smile, “Chairman Xu, this is our first time meeting, you have to take care of me in the future.”

“How so, how so, we’ll all be working together in the future, there’s no taking care of each other.”

Xu Yi gave these courteous words while seriously looking over Robert Zenny.

This Lavender Chamber of Commerce had some fame in the Candra Empire. Xu Yi had investigated the first class companies in the Candra Empire he needed to pay attention to and this included the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

He never thought that the Candra Empire’s navy would be behind the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

But this wasn’t anything strange.

To be a first class company that could stand firm in the Candra Empire, they had to have something supporting them.

The Lavender Chamber of Commerce couldn’t become the strongest company in the Candra Empire and to Xu Yi, it was because they were implicated by the Candra Empire navy.

At least to Xu Yi, those fellows of the Candra Empire navy didn’t have any mind for business at all.

Or perhaps the people of the navy could make money, but it was far from being able to improve the poverty of the navy.

“Chairman Xu, I have actually been very interested in the magic machines of your company for a long time. Even without meeting today, I would have found chairman Xu for a cooperation. Now with sir Russell’s recommendation, it’s become much easier.”

Seeing chairman Zenny’s friendly smile, Xu Yi didn’t have a warm response. After pausing for a second, he shook his head and said without any courtesy, “Chairman Zenny, if you are here to discuss a cooperation in terms of magic machines, I can only say sorry.”

Chairman Zenny and Russell were both surprised. They looked at each other before Russell asked with knitted brows, “Chairman Xu, what do you mean?”

Xu Yi gave a sigh and pointed out the room, “Sir Russell, chairman Zenny, you are from the Candra Empire and are the strongest aquatic force on the Sines Continent, you aren’t thinking of the endless seas and you want to cooperate with our company in terms of magic machines, don’t you think you’re being too stingy?”

Chairman Zenny and Russell looked at each other with doubt.

“Chairman Xu, doesn’t your Frestech Chamber of Commerce focus their business on magic machines? If we do not cooperate with you in terms of magic machines, how are we to cooperate?” Russell asked with knitted brows.

“No, no, no, you’ve made a mistake. I do want to cooperate in terms of magic machines because I want magic machines to spread all over the Candra Empire, so we can obtain this large market.”

“That was what we were thinking. Chairman Xu, why are you denying this?” Chairman Zenny asked in a confused voice.

“My meaning is that we don’t need to only limit ourselves to selling our company’s products in the Candra Empire, right? According to what I know, the main business of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce is sea products, isn’t that right, chairman Zenny?” Xu Yi asked back.

Chairman Zenny was a bit surprised.

He thought that this was Xu Yi’s first time learning of his Lavender Chamber of Commerce, but he never thought that Xu Yi would expose them for selling sea products. It could be seen that he already had some understanding of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

“Yes, with the support of the royal fleet, if we didn’t understand how to use the resources of the sea, we would be too stupid.” Chairman Zenny replied with a smile.

“Un, that’s right. But chairman Zenny, from what I can see, you aren’t using it enough. There are endless resources on the sea and your company is currently using less than ten thousandth of it.”

Chairman Zenny knitted his brows, “Chairman Xu, what do you mean in the end?”

Xu Yi revealed a smile and took out a map, spreading it on the table.

Russell and chairman Zenny looked over and found that it was a map of the Sines Continent’s southern seas.

After carefully looking at it, there was a look of surprise on Russell’s face.

The royal fleet naturally had maps of the southern seas and it was much more detailed than the maps sold on the market.

But compared to the map that Xu Yi took out, the royal fleet’s map simply couldn’t compare at all.

“Chairman Zenny, your Lavender Chamber of Commerce’s sea products are mainly fish, kelp, and coral, right?”

Chairman Zenny was even more certain that Xu Yi had investigated his Lavender Chamber of Commerce before, or he wouldn’t know this much.

“That’s right, what opinion does chairman Xu have?”
