"As for the magic machine tool equipment manufacturing technology... I do intend to transfer it."
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Count Erwin and Count Malduff, who was eavesdropping on the conversation not far away, lit up at the same time.
"Then... President Xu, why don't we take this opportunity to have a good talk?" Earl Erwin immediately invited Xu Yi.
"Okay." Xu Yi smiled and agreed.
The conversation between the two people did not deliberately lower their voices. Not only did Count Maldoff hear it not far away, but even President Cruz also heard it.
President Cruz glanced at Xu Yi with some confusion, wondering how he could agree so simply.
You must know that regarding the manufacturing technology of magic machine tool equipment, even when the Lampali Kingdom originally hoped to transfer it to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it took a lot of effort to obtain the consent and transfer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Later, it took several years of hard work for the Lampali Kingdom to basically master the manufacturing technology, and in the past two years, it has been able to successfully manufacture some relatively low-end machine tool equipment.
But now the Candela Empire just opened the door, and Xu Yi actually agreed all of a sudden.
In comparison, he is too unfavorable to one, isn't he
Thinking of the rumors he specifically mentioned to Xu Yi before, President Cruise couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.
It's really unreasonable that Xu Yi is so generous to the Candela Empire, but has such strict requirements for the Lampali Kingdom, which has an extremely close relationship with him.
However, this idea only lingered in President Cruz's mind for a moment. He was immediately thrown out.
He has known Xu Yi for more than ten years, and he can be said to know Xu Yi very well.
He knew very well that Xu Yi was by no means such a character who liked the new and disliked the old, and followed the crowd. There may be other reasons for his decision.
Thinking of this, President Cruz suppressed the questions in his mind and smiled at Count Malduff: "Your Majesty, regarding the two ring roads surrounding Wimbledon, our Chamber of Commerce is now formulating a plan based on preliminary exploration results. There is a plan. You see...

After two days of negotiations, Xu Yi, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire, represented by Count Erwin, reached a new technology transfer agreement.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer to the Candela Empire a series of related technical materials on various magic machine tools required for manufacturing road engineering materials, and will send technicians to assist the Candela Empire in mastering these technologies.
This agreement involves as many as 127 technical items. The total amount of the agreement is 7.6 million gold coins.
At the same time, the Candela Empire once again provided some preferential policies to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce because of this technology transfer. For example, the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire represented by Count Erwin listed the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as an important cooperative chamber of commerce of the Department of Magic Industry Management. One, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be given special preferential treatment in all aspects.
For example, after various magical mechanical products from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Candela Empire. It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Magic Industry Management before it is allowed to be officially sold.
And now it is listed as an important cooperative chamber of commerce by the Ministry of Magic Industry Management. All products from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be exempted from inspection when entering the Candela Empire, and will also become officially recognized as specially recommended products by the Ministry of Magic Industry Management.
The former item allows Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products to go through many less procedures when entering the Candela Empire, thus saving a lot of time and manpower.
Although the latter item is not particularly significant in terms of the current reputation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Magic Industry Management has promised that if any official occasion in the Candela Empire needs to use magic machinery in the future, it will specify the products of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. This item. It can bring immeasurable huge profits to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
From a purely economic perspective, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer this series of magic machine tool manufacturing technologies to the Candela Empire this time. It is undoubtedly a very profitable business.
But in the eyes of President Cruz, who watched the whole process and personally participated in the signing ceremony of the agreement, it still puzzled him.
"Xu Yi, why did you hand over these precious technologies so easily? If you ask me, you can just hold it in your hands and ignore these guys in the Candela Empire. Since they want to develop, they must need these magic machine tools . If you let them buy from your chamber of commerce, wouldn’t you make more money?”
"If I just want to make money, then your proposal is of course the best choice." Xu Yi shook his head gently. "But obviously, that's not all I'm doing."
"Okay, I know you have always had lofty goals and don't care about making this money. But have you ever thought about it, the Candela Empire is not a small country after all. If you give them these technical information, as long as they are willing to put their heart into it, I'm afraid it will soon You don’t need your Chamber of Commerce to handle those magic machine tools by yourself. By then, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not be as important in their minds as it is now. Don’t you think this is dangerous?”
Xu Yi turned his head to look at President Cruise, with a hint of joking on his face.
"Do you really think... if I transfer the technical materials to them, they can really create a qualified magic machine tool?"
"I know what you mean. Of course they can't completely master it in a short time, but the Candela Empire is a huge empire after all. Give them some time, and they will definitely be able to fully master it." President Cruz waved his hand. .
"Cruise, you are an old man who has been in this industry for many years, but you still don't understand the importance of a complete industrial system?" Xu Yi shook his head. "Don't worry, even if the Candela Empire now masters the magic machine tool manufacturing technology to the same level as our chamber of commerce, they will not be able to create even one magic machine tool with their own strength."
"How is that possible?" President Cruz looked unbelieving.
"Don't believe it?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Then let's make a bet? If the Candela Empire can create a magic machine tool entirely on its own within three years, I will transfer these same technologies to your Amri Chamber of Commerce for free. If they can't. Then you The Armley Chamber of Commerce must complete a project for our chamber of commerce.”
President Cruise frowned: "Xu Yi, this bet seems wrong, right? Even if there was no bet, would you ask us to help you complete a project? Would I still be able to shirk it?" After that, he laughed. "Of course, if you say you won't give me a copper coin, then I really have to think about it carefully."
"Of course it's impossible without paying. We still have to follow the normal project arrangements. But... you may not be willing to do this project. How about it? Are you willing to accept this bet?"
"I may not be willing to do it?" President Cruz frowned and muttered, thinking that the project Xu Yi gave him could be completed by the Amri Chamber of Commerce, so it wouldn't be too outrageous.
So why would Xu Yi make this bet with himself? Is it just to convince myself that it is impossible for the Candela Empire to independently create a magic machine tool within three years
"How about it? Bet or not?" Seeing that President Cruise was still hesitating. Xu Yi urged.
President Cruz thought quietly for a while before he nodded.
"Okay, let's take the bet! It lasts for three years. Of course. Maybe if the Candela Empire goes smoothly, you will lose next year." President Cruise deliberately showed a wistful look and said with a smile. : "The manufacturing technical data of magic machine tools, although our Amri Chamber of Commerce will not mainly invest in this. But it is not bad to use it to make some money."
"First of all, you have to be able to get it."
Xu Yi smiled. He looked up, pointed at the magic car he drove over, and said to President Cruise: "Since you will stay in Wimbledon for a while, I will give you this magic car first. Just send it to the branch of our chamber of commerce here."
President Cruz was startled: "What are you doing now?"
Xu Yi waved to the left and right, and a group of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce men scattered nearby gathered around.
"Since the technology of the magic machine tool has been transferred to the Candela Empire, do you think the Maro Empire will let me go?"
"In other words, you are going to rush to the Malo Empire now?"
"right."
"You gave me the magic car. How do you get there?"
Xu Yi smiled and did not answer, and continued to look up at the sky.
After a while. A black shadow floated quickly in the western sky.
President Cruise suddenly realized: "Hey, it turns out you are going to fly over with a magic airship. This is indeed much faster than a magic car, and it is also much more comfortable. By the way, Xu Yi, speaking of... sell it to me How about a magic airship? I spend more time running around outside than you do. If I have a magic airship, I can save a lot of time."
"The daily consumption and maintenance costs of a magic airship are more than a hundred times that of a magic car. Are you sure you need it?" Xu Yi looked at him amusedly. "And just the price alone... The price of this magic airship is half a million gold coins. Are you really willing to buy it?"
"Five million gold coins?" President Cruz's lips twitched, seeming a little distressed. However, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand! As long as you are willing to sell it, I will buy it!"
Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the magic airship that was slowly falling in the open space in front of him, and said quietly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Lampali Kingdom Parliament passed the Kingdom's air management ban last month, strictly prohibiting all Unauthorized flying objects fly over the kingdom at will, and the magic airship is one of them.”
President Cruz was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand indifferently.
"That's normal. After all, this thing is flying around in the sky. It's too threatening, so it's appropriate to have a ban. Anyway, with the current status of our Amuli Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a special pass."
"What I mean by telling you this is... Now that the Lampali Kingdom has passed this management ban, it is very likely that other countries on the continent will follow suit. In other words, if you want to fly around in a magic airship in the future, , I’m afraid it’s not that free. Under such circumstances, you still want to buy?”
Hearing what Xu Yi said, President Cruise's determination immediately wavered.
He bought the magic airship in the hope that it would be more convenient to travel back and forth between various countries on the mainland in the future. If the same ban appeared in every country, then this convenience would be gone and the purchase would be much less meaningful.
Seeing President Cruise hesitate again, Xu Yi laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Come to me when you think about it."
After saying that, he led a group of men to board the magic airship that had already opened the hatch. After a while, the hatch was closed and it flew high into the sky and disappeared.
President Cruise stared blankly at the direction in which the magic airship disappeared for a while, then glanced back at the magic car left by Xu Yi, and shook his head helplessly. (To be continued...)
