Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Marquis Southgaard with a strange expression.
At first glance, the Marquis's proposal seemed very reasonable. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce didn't have to worry about anything, it just allowed the other party to put up its own brand, and there was no real loss at all.
But if it is really investigated, this is exactly one of those decks on earth that are hated by many manufacturers, or it is simply a counterfeit brand. The consequences may be big or small, but in short, it will not do any good to the counterfeited brand.
Seeing Xu Yiyou didn't answer, Marquis Southgaard seemed to suddenly remember something, and added with a smile: "I forgot to mention it. President Xu, from the household magic machines produced in this way, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can get 30% of the profit share." ,Do you think it fits?"
Xu Yi blinked and shook his head slowly but firmly.
"no."
Marquis Southgaard was suddenly stunned.
He thought that he came to Xu Yi to discuss with good intentions, and even took the initiative to give up 30% of the profit to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which had already given Xu Yi enough face.
If it weren't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's strong reputation throughout the continent and its gradually emerging strong influence in the Maro Empire, he would not have even considered discussing with Xu Yi and would have started production long ago.
In the final analysis, it was just a sign of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still dared to really come to trouble him
But I didn't expect that Xu Yi would refuse so simply now, without even the slightest softening of his tone, which could be regarded as not leaving any room.
"President Xu, what's wrong with this?" Marquis Southgaard asked with a frown. "It's just putting up the brand of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It won't affect anything. If you are afraid that the quality of the products we produce will be insufficient and affect the reputation of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then you can send someone here to supervise and guide the production to ensure Quality.”
Seeing the disapproving expression on Marquis Southgaard's face, Xu Yi almost couldn't help but sneer.
This Lord Marquis is really well-calculated. Not only does he want the household magic machinery under his name to be branded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so as not to worry about sales, he even wants Xu Yi to take the initiative to send technicians to help him.
In this way, the products produced by this household magic machinery factory under the name of the Marquis of Southgaard are completely comparable to the products manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, and at the same time, they can also bear the brand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It will definitely be extremely popular, and the profits will definitely be huge without even thinking about it.
The price paid by the Marquis of Southgaard was only 30% of the profit and some manpower that was nothing to him.
"No, Lord Marquis, this is impossible." Thinking of this, Xu Yi answered more firmly, showing a non-negotiable look. "Only the household magic mechanical products produced by the factories that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fully invests and controls can carry our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's brand, and no other similar products can."
Marquis Southgaard frowned deeply: "Really not?"
"Really can not."
Marquis Southgaard looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes, and Xu Yi stared at him in the same gaze. Not a single dodge was seen.
After a moment, the corners of Marquis Southgaard's mouth rose. Laughed.
"Well, since you don't agree, President Xu, forget it. Well, now that I think about it, it's true that I thought too simply. President Xu, don't mind."
Xu Yi also laughed: "It's okay. Since we are partners, if you have any ideas, please feel free to put them forward. Whether it succeeds or not, this does not affect our relationship, does it?"
Marquis Southgaard nodded: "Well, yes, there are still many places for us to cooperate. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time."
Looking at the cheerful smile on Marquis Southgaard's face, Xu Yi smiled, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Marquis Southgaard suddenly made this request, which was clearly a test.
But the result was that Xu Yi didn't give him any room for negotiation, which of course would affect the relationship between the two parties.
But Xu Yi had no choice. The request made by Marquis Southgaard had already touched one of his principles, and there was absolutely no way he would agree to it.
Rather than being ambiguous, which may cause misunderstandings, it is better to make it clear directly, set your bottom line, and let the other party recognize the facts as early as possible.
"By the way, Lord Marquis, last time you said that your personal guard wanted to replace a batch of magic repeating crossbows, right?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.
Marquis Southgaard glanced at Xu Yi, his expression moved, he nodded with a smile and replied: "Yes. But last time you said that your Chamber of Commerce has significantly reduced the production of magic repeating crossbows and instead focused on the production of higher-end military magic. Mechanical, so there is no way to supply it.”
"Well, that was indeed the case before. But last month, the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampali underwent a change of equipment, and a batch of magic repeating crossbows they used were eliminated. If you want, I can look for them. Thanks to the Zhenbei Army, a batch of these eliminated magic repeating crossbows will be shipped to you." Xu Yidao.
"Really?" Marquis Southgaard's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: "Since they were eliminated... shouldn't everything be broken?"
"Only a small part is broken, and most of them are still good. Because this is just a normal change of clothes, not really eliminated." Xu Yi explained.
"Oh? That sounds pretty good. President Xu, can you really get some for me?"
"As long as you really need it, Lord Marquis, I will take care of this matter." Xu Yi said seriously.
Marquis Southgaard pondered for a moment and nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll leave it to President Xu."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Marquis Southgaard knew very well that Xu Yi suddenly mentioned this matter because he had just rejected his request and made compensation in other ways.
In fact, if it is just a batch of magic repeating crossbows, it is not particularly important in itself, but the attitude Xu Yi showed through this matter made Marquis Southgaard very satisfied.
This proves that Xu Yi still hopes to continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with him, and as long as this is confirmed, a small setback is nothing.
In the next three days, Xu Yi stayed in the private domain of Marquis of Southgaard. Through the relationship of Marquis of Southgaard, he made contact with other members of the Malo Empire who had had many contacts with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The great nobles met and discussed.
Including the Duke of Macaros, who has the best personal relationship with the Marquis of Southgaard, a total of seventeen great nobles with the title of Marquis and above in the Malo Empire, and seventy-six earls and smaller nobles with the title of earl and below. Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed a letter of intent to establish the Magic Communication Network.
Next, they will make the final decision based on the situation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce setting up a magic communication network in the Marquis of Southgaard's private territory, whether to also set up a magic communication network in their own private territory.
The private territories of these nobles are all in the same province, and they are not too far apart from each other. If added together, they occupy more than a quarter of the area of the province.
Akali and her team have made detailed calculations on these private territories before, and finally concluded that if the magic communication network can be successfully set up in all the private territories of these nobles, then with the current magic signal tower signal, the longest The transmission distance has exceeded an ultra-long distance of eight kilometers. In the end, the magic signal will cover not only a quarter of the province's area, but nearly half!
Next, we only need to set up some magic signal towers for connection in the middle of the private territories of these nobles as relays, so that the magic signals can be transmitted barrier-free within the private territories of these nobles, allowing them to pass the magic signal at any time. Communication network for dialogue.
Once this goal is achieved, the coverage area of the magic communication network will exceed more than half of this province, and it will not be too far away from covering the entire province.
Of course, the reason why these nobles chose to lay down the magic communication network so actively was that, in addition to the first step taken by the Marquis of Southgaard, the most important reason was also the agreement reached between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the top management of the Malo Empire. Decided to try to promote magic network communication in the Maro Empire.
The private domain of Marquis of Southgaard was the chosen pilot. As for the other nobles involved, some were persuaded by Marquis of Southgaard, and some of them took the initiative to join.
Now it is different from a few years ago. With the vigorous promotion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, most countries and people on the Sainz continent have correctly understood the role of the magic communication network, and do not regard it as a human being. It seems that thousands of years ago The kind of evil magic tower that can control people's hearts.
So even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't say anything, there are still many people who are willing to try this legendary magical device that allows you to talk to other people who are far away.
According to the preliminary plan, after the magic communication network is successfully established in the private territories of these nobles, if the Maro Empire feels that the effect is satisfactory, it will further promote it throughout the province. The ultimate goal is to cover the magic communication signal. The entire Malo Empire.
For Xu Yi, his first goal is to simultaneously develop the magic communication networks in the Maro Empire and the Kingdom of Falk, and then connect the magic communication networks of these two countries together, and then successfully connect to Drak The principality’s magical communication network.
Finally, it will be able to fully integrate into the magic communication network that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has basically completed in the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Lampali, and the Kingdom of Luersun.
If this goal is achieved, these countries will be able to conduct barrier-free long-distance communications in the future, which will bring great convenience.
As far as Xu Yi is concerned, at least he doesn't need to come to the Maro Empire, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away, in person for anything.
If he has so much time, he might as well spend more time at home with his children... (To be continued...)
