Enrique is of course not the only student invited to join the Basic Magic Industrial Academy organized by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, because this time, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce has built a total of forty-three basic magic industrial academies of the same level in the Candela Empire. , the initial enrollment of each college will reach 200, and the total number of students is expected to exceed 10,000.
And according to the plan announced by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, they will also cooperate with the official Kandra Empire for a long time to vigorously promote education related to the basic knowledge of the magic industry represented by these basic magic industry academies within the empire.
Considering the huge land area and scale of the Candela Empire, this plan is extremely large, and the investment in funds, manpower, etc. involved will be an astonishing astronomical figure.
"Why did the Chimera Chamber of Commerce suddenly become so active?" Kennard felt very strange about this. "These guys have always been lukewarm to us before, but this time they took the initiative to cooperate with us, and they were so active and willing to spend money. It's really against common sense."
"Maybe they suddenly figured it out." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Of course, if I really want to say it, I think it's probably because the senior officials of the Candela Empire don't want to see too much penetration of our Chamber of Commerce. Things like basic education are too important to a country, and the Candela Empire wants to master them. It’s not surprising if it’s in your own hands.”
"Well, that makes sense." Kennard nodded. After thinking for a moment, he picked up another document and handed it to Xu Yi. "Cooperation in basic education makes sense, but I think there is still a problem with this."
"Yeah?"
Xu Yi took the document. It was discovered that this was a formal business letter issued in the name of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. The content inside was a cooperation agreement submitted to the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce by a branch of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce that specializes in timber business.
The specific content of the agreement is that the Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce can tailor-make some heavy-duty magic machinery for them. Specially used to cut and transport wood.
"Is there any problem with this?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard in surprise. "Isn't it normal to design special magic machines for other chambers of commerce?"
"The problem lies at the back." Kennard turned to the last page of the document for Xu Yi with a sullen face, and then pointed to the middle part.
Xu Yi took a closer look and immediately frowned.
It turns out that in this cooperation agreement, the Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce proposed that in order to ensure smooth cooperation between the two parties and maintain a good long-term cooperative relationship. It is hoped that the two parties will exchange 5% of the shares to stabilize the relationship between the two parties.
If we look at this condition alone, Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce actually takes a big advantage.
Because the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce on this continent. The Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce is also a very large chamber of commerce that monopolizes the timber business in many countries, including the Candela Empire. It far exceeds the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce in terms of scale, output value, and all aspects.
The same 5% shares represent completely different values.
But if you look closely you will find it. The Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce also requested this later in the agreement. In order to ensure that the various magical machines specially built by the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce for wood collection fully meet their requirements, we hope to participate in the research process of these magical machines.
This condition can be regarded as completely known to everyone on the road.
Obviously, the Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce wants to participate in this research process, undoubtedly to obtain relevant technical information, or to accumulate some relevant experience.
"Hey, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is really willing to give up." Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh. "Just to gain part of the technology accumulation, we are actually willing to give up 5% of the shares in exchange. You said that if we are willing to open all the technical data on heavy-duty magic machinery to them. Are they willing to completely transfer the Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce? Give us?"
"Of course they agreed." Kennard said without hesitation. "Even if we obtain all the shares, we will not be able to operate as smoothly as the previous Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce. In the end, I am afraid we will still lose most of the money. But they can use this to obtain the technical information they want most. In the long run, It’s always a good deal for them.”
"Do you think so?" Xu Yi glanced at Kennard.
Kennard was startled: "Don't you think so, President?"
"Me?" Xu Yi looked at the cooperation agreement in his hand, threw it on the table, and stretched. "How I think it doesn't matter, because... it's none of my business."
Kennard was stunned for a moment, and then shouted eagerly: "President, why is this none of your business? I think this is basically a conspiracy of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce against our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce! The Chimera Chamber of Commerce's most What they are good at is cannibalizing other chambers of commerce bit by bit in this way! They have done this countless times!”
"Really? Now that you know, will you still let them succeed?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"This..." Kennard thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously. "Of course I can't let them easily take over our hard work! I will definitely stop them!"
Xu Yi smiled: "Kennard, I just want to remind you that sometimes you can take a longer view. As for other suggestions..."
Xu Yi spread his hands: "Since this is a cooperation agreement proposed by the Chimera Timber Chamber of Commerce to the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce, the decision-making power lies in the hands of the Xinfei Heavy Machinery Chamber of Commerce. You, the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, can propose your own suggestions, but there’s no need to do anything extra, let them handle it themselves.”
"How can that be done? If they are allowed to face the Chimera Chamber of Commerce alone, sooner or later they will be swallowed up to the ground!" Kennard said excitedly.
"Then let them be swallowed up." The smile on Xu Yi's face suddenly disappeared, and his face became cold. "Separating them is to let them undergo the test alone. If they can't survive, then they are not qualified."
"But... But Mr. President, if the Chimera Chamber of Commerce succeeds this time, they will definitely attack other areas. I'm worried... if we don't handle it well, our entire Chamber of Commerce may be swallowed up by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce." ”
"Don't worry, even if the Chimera Chamber of Commerce can swallow up all other departments of our chamber of commerce, as long as the Magic Research Institute and the Military Magic Machinery Department are still under control, or as long as I am still there, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will always be there. "
Feeling the strong confidence in Xu Yi's tone, Kennard was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
The president is right. Although the scale of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now countless times larger than before, the core part is still technology, or simply the president.
As long as the president is here, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be there.
This is something that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce cannot swallow no matter what.
Thinking of this, the worries in Kennard's heart suddenly faded a lot. After taking a look at the cooperation agreement in his hand, he smiled and said: "Okay, Sir, I will handle this matter as appropriate."
Xu Yi shook his head slightly, thinking that Kennard still hadn't gotten rid of his previous fixed thinking pattern after all.
Perhaps it is because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has risen and developed so fast that even Kennard, the CEO, has not had time to change his thinking model and still always puts himself at an extremely low level. In terms of position, when facing the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the continent, he always appears to be overly nervous and cautious.
Of course, this does not mean that Xu Yi feels that Kennard's judgment is wrong. On the contrary, he feels that Kennard's judgment is very accurate. The Chimera Chamber of Commerce definitely has ulterior motives for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, with the current status of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the Sainz Continent, and the popularity of the magic industry industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on this continent, not only the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that any chamber of commerce, any company on this continent The country or even any individual will have ulterior motives for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It's okay to be cautious, but it's not worth the gain because it delays your normal development.
For example, although the Chimera Chamber of Commerce obviously had ulterior motives this time, in Xu Yi's view, in order to strengthen its relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to vigorously promote basic knowledge education in the magic industry in the Candela Empire, and thus invested a large amount of money. The funds and humans established a large number of basic magic industrial colleges in the Candela Empire, which actually did Xu Yi a big favor.
The history of the Industrial Revolution on Earth proves an ironclad fact, that is, talents always forget their heights.
Even if the Candela Empire does cultivate a large number of talents related to the magic industry industry in the future, if the magic industry system of the Candela Empire is not well established and the level is not high enough, then these talents will eventually flow to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
So in the end, it is very likely that the Candela Empire will be cultivating talents for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This is very obvious when it comes to magicians.
Since the fall of Magister Levin Hassock in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce five and a half years ago, all magicians on the mainland have turned their attention to it, so much so that the number of magician employees in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has increased dramatically, and magic research The total number of low-level magicians in the hospital and the factory even exceeds 10,000.
And now even Magister Sarandul Clay has taken the initiative to work for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has also maintained a cooperative relationship with thirteen of the other twenty-five magisters, allowing these thirteen The Magister assists the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in researching magic projects.
Even the other twelve magisters who have no clear cooperative relationship have still expressed concern about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it is said that more than half of them have begun quietly conducting research on magic machinery.
Therefore, it can be said that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become the organization that makes the best use of magician resources on this continent, even surpassing the magician union.
Xu Yi believes that this situation will not only appear for magicians in the future, but also for all talents related to the magic industry.
Of course, this has a premise, that is, the technology of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been leading. (To be continued...)
