Volume 6 Chapter 85 - The old Magic Fans also sells (1/2)

A week later, there was a large motorcade that passed the border between the Norton Duchy and the Candra Empire.

After travelling on this road that was finally built in the southwest province of the Candra Empire for three hours, they reached the capital of the southwest province, which was also the place that had the Governor Manor, Canberra City.

The motorcade didn’t enter Canberra City and stopped in a patch of open land outside the city.

Although this place was only a suburb outside the wall, Canberra City was the large capital, so it was very lively and filled with people. There were all kinds of vendors calling out, seeming much more lively than many smaller cities.

Xu Yi stopped his Magic Sedan and came out of the driver’s seat, finding that the surrounding people were looking at the motorcade he was a part of before looking away. They didn’t look curious and they didn’t look surprised like they were seeing something new.

“It isn’t strange that the people of Canberra City have seen Magic Cars before.” Chairman Cruise on the side explained, “Actually, it isn’t just Magic Cars, many people here are already used to many of the household magic machines. You don’t need to think that they will be surprised like they would be seeing it for the first time.”

“No, I wasn’t hoping for this. I was just a bit curious. Since the people of the Candra Empire have already experienced the magic machines, why isn’t there a higher demand for these things?” Xu Yi knitted his brows.

“Who told you there isn’t a high demand?” Chairman Cruise rolled his eyes before pointing to the right, “Look at what that is.”

Xu Yi looked at where he was pointing and saw that there was a large stall by the street where many people were gathered, looking very lively.

“What are they doing there?”

While Xu Yi was confused, there was cheer that came from the crowd. They surrounded a person who was holding something who turned to run, as if he was afraid that the others would steal it from him.

Xu Yi looked carefully and found that the thing that he was holding like a treasure was actually an old Magic Fan, feeling a bit surprised.

“It’s just an old Magic Fan and he’s even acting like this……”

“Because it’s second hand, it’s quite cheap. Being able to get one isn’t easy.” Chairman Cruise gave a shrug, “Now that it’s getting hotter, these things are very popular. If a normal person like that can get a Magic Fan, it will be equal to saving their lives.”

Xu Yi knitted his brows, still feeling confused.

“The latest Frestech Brand Magic Fan is only selling for three gold coins and fifty silver coins, it isn’t that expensive. Why do they need to snatch for an old Magic Fan that’s about to be trashed like that?”

Chairman Cruise looked at Xu Yi before giving a sigh and shaking his head, “Xu Yi, I think that you’ve been separated from normal people for too long and you’ve already forgotten the most important problem. Do you think…..three gold coins and fifty silver coins for a normal person who can’t even feed themselves would be little?”

Xu Yi was speechless.

It wasn’t that he was separated from normal people for too long, rather it was because of the thought “normal people couldn’t afford to buy a Magic Fan”.

Whether it was the Stantine Duchy or the Lampuri Kingdom, the citizens of those two countries, as long as they were willing to work, they would be able to easily find a job that would pay at least ten gold coins a month.

If it was the wages of a family, putting aside their basic living costs, there was no pressure taking out a few coins to buy a Magic Fan.

But that was only limited to the Stantine Duchy and the Lampuri Kingdom because the magic machine industry led by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had developed those two countries well. Now there were many factories related to magic machines in those two countries and there was a large demand for labour, so that was why people were able to easily find such good jobs.

But other than this, even if the Rudson Kingdom and the Drake Duchy were developing magic machine industries, it was lacking compared to them.

When comparing it, the Sack Kingdom was even worse.

Because they had tense relationships with the Lampuri Kingdom and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, their magic machine industry wasn’t that developed.

But compared to the Candra Empire…..it was actually better.

The Candra Empire was one of the two empires of the continent, with national strength that couldn’t be compared with on the Sines Continent, but when it came to the living conditions of normal people……It was even worse than the Lampuri Kingdom from seven to eight years ago.

These normal citizens living in the Candra Empire’s southwest province’s capital of Canberra Cite, most of them were still at the level of worrying about making a living, so it was impossible for them to take out several gold coins for a Magic Fan.

“Then what’s up with those old Magic Fans? Although they don’t seem like our company’s Magic Fan, they can sell for one to two gold coins each?” Xu Yi asked.
