Vol 2 Chapter 123: War of the throne

The conversation between Xu Yi and Marquis Joseph lasted for more than half an hour.
In the case of a banquet hall, it is certainly impossible for the two to have an in-depth conversation. However, through this conversation, Xu also fully expressed his attitude to Marquis Joseph.
That is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not intend to confront the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, because strictly speaking, there is no conflict in the scope of business between the two sides, but there are many places where they can cooperate.
For example, in the city of Bangta, the Falkau Chamber of Commerce initially robbed an iron ore from their hands because of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, which made the relationship between President Morgan and Xu Yi once frozen, but after a series of After the cooperation, although the president of Morgan did not make friends with Xu Yi, the relationship has basically returned to normal.
For the big man like Marquis Joseph, the president of Xu Yi, a small chamber of commerce, naturally can't talk about any contradiction with him. For him, the entire Falcao Chamber of Commerce, or the entire Joseph family. The overall interest is the top priority.
In this conversation, Xu also proposed to him the huge benefits brought about by the mining of non-ferrous metal veins, which is equivalent to pointing out a new path for the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Lampari, the Joseph family has been controlling the iron ore mines in the kingdom. Although it has always had stable and huge profits, it has always been confined to this, and there is no greater breakthrough.
Wang’s domestic iron ore mine will be cleaned up one day. At that time, where should the Joseph family go?
Now Xu also indicated that he is willing to explore the non-ferrous metal veins in the Kingdom with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and determine to purchase a large amount of non-ferrous metal mines from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, which is equivalent to the new development of a financial road for the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. .
Don't say that the Joseph family actually appreciates Xu very much in his heart. Even if he himself would hate Xu to the extreme, but for the interests of the Joseph family, he still chooses to hand out the olive branch to Xu, and initially expressed his willingness to cooperate. .
As for the military equipment and weapons orders, Xu also said that the effect of pig iron is actually quite limited. After melting iron into various special characteristics of steel, it will produce more value. So the old-style blacksmith shop has already been eliminated, and the Joseph family is advised to give up this model.
As for how to respond after giving up this model?
Xu also hopes to establish a steelmaking plant with the Falcon Chamber of Commerce to jointly produce special steel materials needed for military production of armor.
In this way, the Joseph family can still maintain close ties with the military, and at the same time be able to successfully transform into a "modern military enterprise" that Xu also said.
It must be said that although Marquis Joseph is forty-seven years old, his mind is not as rigid and stubborn as most middle-aged people. On the contrary, many new concepts proposed by Xu also easily expressed understanding and partially accepted.
The conversation between the two sides went very smoothly. When Xu Yi and Marquis Joseph were separated, Marquis Joseph even offered to invite Xu to their family.
Xu Yi’s mind flashed through the situation when he met Vincent. He smiled and agreed to it.
After watching the Marquis of Joseph leave. Xu also looked around and saw a gaze in the distant crowd seems to be staring at himself.
Looking in the direction of the eyes, I saw the Duke of Stark surrounded by a group of people.
Seeing Xu also looked over, the Duke of Stark just smiled and smiled, then turned his head and clearly showed the meaning of rejection.
Xu also shrugged, thinking that even the Duke of Stark would like to talk to himself. I may not be willing to talk to him.
Now Xu is no longer a rookie who knows nothing about the political situation in the Kingdom of Lampari last year. Under the scattered points of many people, the information collected by himself is gradually clear. In a small situation, Xu is now very clear that the battle for the succession to the throne in the Kingdom of Lampari has reached a fairly clear stage.
The eldest son of His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Erik, should have the right to inherit the first place in accordance with the principle. It is the most promising candidate for the next king.
However, His Royal Highness Prince Eric did not live up to his own expectations. He never showed any ability to govern the country, and his character was bad. Therefore, His Majesty the King has always been very disappointed with him.
On the contrary, although His Royal Highness Servini is the youngest daughter of His Majesty the King, and is a woman, she has shown a high degree of government talent from an early age. It is loved by many kingdoms and ministers.
Now the battle for the throne is mainly concentrated between the two of them.
His Royal Highness Prince Eric has the advantage of the first overall pick, and there are many big nobility support.
His Royal Highness Servini has a good reputation and outstanding ability, and has also been supported by many aristocrats and many people in the kingdom.
Coupled with the traditions of the people of Sainz because of the legacy of the elves. There is no prejudice against the Queen, so the voice of His Royal Highness Servini is even higher than that of Prince Eric.
Viscount Leslie and Baron Billier, who succeeded him later, showed such a strange and contrasting attitude towards Xu. The reason was that the Stark family gradually publicly expressed support for His Royal Highness Prince Eric in this year. The Tucker family will naturally draw a line with Xu, who is in close contact with His Royal Highness Servini.
If the former Xu also intends to climb the big tree of the Stark family through Viscount Lesley, now he is already involuntarily unable to show his closeness to the Stark family.
For everyone's point of view, Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have long been classified as the king of the king.
Therefore, although Duke Stark was somewhat interested in Xu, he would never take the initiative to talk to him, and Xu was even more unlikely to take the initiative to find him.
After reorganizing these relationships in my mind, Xu couldn't help but sigh a little.
Although it is clear that business can never completely get rid of politics, he still feels that it is a very troublesome thing to involve politics.
"Hey, Xu, the president, why are you sighing? Is it because the conversation with the Marquis of Joseph was not pleasant?" There was a familiar voice.
Xu also turned his head and looked at Ankeru, who also had a dark red wine. He smiled and shook his head. "No, I just thought of something and some emotions. Mr. Anker, I am very strange, why? Will you come to this party today?"
Anglotsu smiled and Xu also touched the next cup. After drinking a half cup of wine, this said: "In fact, I didn't plan to come, but later I heard that Xu will also attend this party. I asked the envoys of our Principality to help me get into this banquet. The purpose is to come and see you.
"Oh?" Xu was a little surprised. "Seeing that I need to work so hard? Isn’t the place where I lived, has you already told you? If you want to see me, why not go to my place to find me?"
"I have been there, but you were not there. The supervisor there told me that Xu has been very busy during this time and rarely stays in the residence, so I am afraid I can't find you, just mix in this party. Look, this is not going to find you?"
Xu Yi haha ​​smiled: "Well, Mr. Ankeru, since you have spent so much time looking for me, I must have something important to talk to me? Is it about the last time we talked about?"
"Yes." As soon as he talked about business, Anker's face was serious. "Mr. Xu, I want to ask you, what did you think about the last time you talked about? If you agree, I hope that you can arrange a time to visit our main country in Constantine."
Xu Yi Shen said in a moment: "Although before the banquet, I have confirmed that His Majesty has no opinion on the sale of our Chamber of Commerce to the farm machinery of the Kingdom of Rulson, and to invest in the construction of your work in Stading, but this piece After all, things are no small matter, I hope that you can give me some time to consider."
Ankerk shook his head: "Although I also want to give you more time to consider, but President Xu, the situation in our Principality is special. In addition to the annual winter, the climate is very unstable in the rest of the season. If you have If you go to this winter to investigate, I am afraid that it will be affected by the climate at any time. Even if you determine the investment, it will be greatly affected. In this way, if you fail, it will delay the entire year. The people of the people can't wait."
Looking at Anker's heavy expression, Xu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Anker, I have never understood a problem. Why are you sure that our new flyer will help you in the Principality of Constantine? Why don't you Selling mines to other chambers of commerce? I think as long as there is interest, no matter what chamber of commerce is willing to invest in your Principality?"
"No, other chambers of commerce are different. We have done the same before, but those chambers of commerce have been scared away after they went." Anker Rudao.
Xu Yi suddenly burst into tears: "How do you know that I will not be scared away after I go?"
"I said, your new flyers are not the same as other chambers of commerce. In fact, I have been in Bangta City for a while before, and I have seen the impact of your new flyers on Bangta City and the surrounding cities. I think If you let the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce enter the Principality of Constantine, there may be hopes to change the status quo of the Principality." Ankera seriously.
Xu also could not help but shook his head: "I have to say that you can afford to see our new flying chamber."
"Accurately, I can't afford to see your new flying business association, but I can afford you." Ankeru stared at Xu Yi, his eyes full of desire. "President Xu, I once again represent you on behalf of Grand Duke Stein, and I hope that you can come to our Principality."
Seeing Anglo's face sincerely, Xu also sighed for a long while and finally nodded slowly.
"Well, I want to wait until I return to Bangta City. I will go to the black rice wilderness after a while, and then I will go to see you in the Principality of Constantine."
"What is the word?"
"A word is fixed."
