The Xinfei Merchant Guild's plans to break into the Candel Empire's market had repeatedly run into difficulties for all sorts of reasons.
Although the Xinfei Merchant Guild's magic machinery had become extremely popular in Wimbledon City, and Ambassador Hakane ordered ever larger shipments each time, this was neither a normal model of trade nor the model Xu Yi wanted. Opening up the market this way was simply too slow.
Still, until the Xinfei Merchant Guild substantially increased its production capacity, Xu Yi was not particularly anxious about it.
And although the Xinfei Merchant Guild's progress in opening up the Candel Empire's market was slow, its expansion into other countries was both rapid and smooth.
The Xinfei Merchant Guild's magic machinery was now sold not only in the countries surrounding the Stantin Duchy, but had also spread northward, beyond the Drake Duchy and into the Falk Kingdom, where it quickly became all the rage.
The Falk Kingdom surpassed even the Lampari Kingdom in both territory and population. Completely capturing and developing this market would take the Xinfei Merchant Guild considerable effort.
By comparison, if they considered only the Xinfei Merchant Guild's own development, its current strategy should actually have focused on the Falk Kingdom.
Moreover, the Falk Kingdom occupied a highly important geographical position in the center of the Sains Continent, bordering the Candel Empire to the east and the Malo Empire to the north.
If the Xinfei Merchant Guild could establish a foothold in the Falk Kingdom, it might even find an opportunity to enter the Malo Empire when the time was right.
