Volume 5 Chapter 59 Waiting for others to pick me up
“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 att.i.tude 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 pa.s.s 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 n.o.ble 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.
“Ah?” Baron Belil was stunned, “You……Are you joking?”
“No, I’m serious.” Xu Yi’s expression became serious, it didn’t seem like he was joking.
Baron Belil was stunned for a while. He looked at the steering wheel in his hand before looking at Xu Yi in disbelief.
“This is your car, do you really want to give it to me?”
“I’m certain, do you want it?” Xu Yi asked.
“Yes!” Baron Belil replied without any hesitation, “Even if this car is bad, it is a private car that you used before! Even if the car isn’t that good, it is worth collecting just based on that one point.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Looking at Baron Belil who acted like had gained some treasure, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He looked around outside the window before saying to Baron Belil, “Alright, drive a bit forward and then you can let me off.”
“Ah?” Baron Belil was surprised again, “Let you off? This is the Norton Duchy, aren’t you going back to the Stantine Duchy? Even if you don’t go back for now, shouldn’t you go to Noxus Town first.”
“Just do what I said.” Xu Yi said.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi’s face, Baron Belil could only mutter to himself as he followed Xu Yi’s order. He continued for a bit on the road that led west from Noxus Town.
He pa.s.sed a mountain and arrived at a small lake where Xu Yi had Baron Belil stop.
Seeing Xu Yi get out, Baron Belil thought about it before also getting out.
He was very curious why Xu Yi had him let him off at a remote place like this.
Xu Yi slowly came to the side of the lake and looked around. Then he took out a watch from his chest to look at before looking up at the sky.
Baron Belil followed his gaze to look at the sky, but he only saw white clouds and blue sky.
Other than seeing a few birds that flew by, there wasn’t anything else.
“Chairman Xu, what…..are you doing?” Baron Belil couldn’t help asking.
“Waiting for someone to pick me up.” Xu Yi replied with a smile.
“Waiting for someone?” Baron Belil was confused as he looked around. He looked at the road for a while, but he didn’t see anything at all, not to mention a Magic Sedan or even a horse carriage.
The two stood by the lake for a while. When Baron Belil couldn’t take the curiosity in his heart and was about to ask again, he found Xu Yi’s expression change as he looked at the sky. So he followed his gaze to look at the sky.
There was suddenly a black spot that had appeared in the sky to the west.
It was a small black dot at first, but then it quickly became bigger.
In less than a few minutes, the black spot had become a giant thing. It was like a large cloud that was floating above the two of them that slowly came to a stop.
Baron Belil looked up to take a few more looks and couldn’t help shouting in surprise, “Chairman Xu, this……this seems to be your company’s Magic Airship!”
As soon as his voice fell, the Magic Airship in the sky that was at least several hundred meters away began to descend.
It was very slow at first, but then it became faster. When it reached the ground, it went from fast to slow before landing on the gra.s.s less than ten meters away from the two of them like a leaf.
“Alright, the people are here now. Baron Belil, although I’m giving you this Magic Sedan, it’s best if you take a trip to the Stantine Duchy and take care of the transfer procedure. Otherwise, when the Lampuri Kingdom starts implementing the public road laws, you’ll encounter some problems.”
“Ah? Oh……” Baron Belil nodded in a daze. Looking at the Magic Airship, he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.
“Alright, I’m about to fly off, you should drive quickly. This place isn’t that far from the Lampuri Kingdom, but you’ll still take an entire day to drive back there in this Magic Sedan.”
Xu Yi waved his hand to Baron Belil before turning to walk onto the Magic Airship.
The cabin door of the Magic Airship was already open. Xu Yi walked up the stairs of the Magic Airship before waving his hand one last time to Baron Belil and the door closed.
After a while, the Magic Airship trembled before leaving the ground.
When it was floating twenty meters off the ground, the Magic Airship stopped before quickly floating into the air.
This time, it was moving very fast. In just the blink of an eye, it had reached over a hundred meters in the sky and was already over a thousand meters away.
Watching the large Magic Airship flying further in the sky and turning into a black not long after before completely disappearing, Baron Belil couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
d.a.m.n! This is called handsome!
Compared to the Magic Airship, what was the Magic Sedan? It was simply a toy for children!
