Erwin's reminder was of course well-intentioned, but he didn't know that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was completely different from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at this time last year.
When Xu Yi came last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just started. Even in Bangta City, it was only slightly famous. As for Anvilmar City, no one had heard of it at all, so Xu Yi had to go through it one by one. Go talk to the magicians who are participating in the assessment, and invite them to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with the most sincere and enthusiastic attitude.
Even so, Xu Yi still encountered countless cold faces.
However, one year later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce caused a sensation in the magician circle of the entire Lampali Kingdom due to the addition of the great magician Camilla. As a result, its reputation soared, causing many magicians to come.
Previously, Xu Yi even had to reject some of the magicians who wanted to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because there were too many.
And under the introduction of the magicians present who already work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, other magicians all know that the treatment given by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very high, and they work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because they are exposed to those novel magics all day long. Arrays and being asked to master how to arrange them are actually very helpful in improving magic strength.
Therefore, for many magicians, especially these low-level magicians, joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually a very attractive option.
So there was no need for Xu Yi to take the initiative to look for it, these magicians came to the door themselves.
Erwin had just temporarily ended his conversation with Xu Yi when some magicians who couldn't hold back found Xu Yi.
Whether they inquired in a roundabout way or asked directly, they all revealed the same meaning, that is, they were very willing to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi did not immediately agree to all of them, but he welcomed them on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although most of the magicians present probably have no chance of becoming great magicians. But what Xu Yi needs most is to create a consensus in the minds of the magicians in the Lampali Kingdom, that is, going to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to study magic machinery is also a good choice, which is equivalent to providing these magicians with a new way out.
After a simple contact, the assessment officially began. Xu Yiben and Steele left here. Next, they split up.
Steele is going to attend a jewelry exhibition held here by the Salank Chamber of Commerce as a spokesperson, and Xu Yi is invited by the great magician Essenka. Went to the magician tower of the great magician Esenka.
This is the first time Xu Yi has come to the magic tower of the great magician Aisenka.
Compared with the Camilla Great Magician Tower, the Aisenka Great Magician Tower can no longer be described as a tower, but can only be regarded as an overall title.
Because the Great Magician Tower of Essenka is actually a manor occupying more than 5,000 square meters in the southern suburbs of Anvilmar City, except for the magician tower standing in the center of the manor. Other places are dotted with various buildings, guarding the tower in the middle.
From this alone, it can be seen that the great magician Essenka is worthy of being called the richest magician in the Lampali Kingdom.
When Xu Yi arrived, the great magician Aisenka came out to greet him immediately and showed an even more enthusiastic attitude than the last time he went to Bangta City to see Xu Yi.
"President Xu, it's really rare for you to come here. Come, let me show you around here. I think you will have many opportunities to come here again in the future." Great Magician Aisenka said enthusiastically Xu Yi led him in and took him to browse the manor.
Xu Yi was a little surprised by the enthusiastic attitude of the great magician Essenka, because although the two parties had made an intention to cooperate last time, Xu Yi had some considerations. Some of the unique technologies of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were not handed over to the great magician Essenka according to his wishes, so the cooperation between the two parties can actually be considered quite shallow at present.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has intermittently provided R&D funds of more than 3,000 gold coins to Arch Magician Aisenka during this year because of some research tasks on magic arrays assigned to the Great Magician Aisenka Tower, but this Money is simply a drop in the bucket for the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and of course it cannot be taken seriously by the great magician Aisenka.
So Xu Yi originally thought that even if the great magician Essenka invited him this time, it was just a courtesy, but he didn't expect that he would actually show such an attitude, as if the two parties were really very close partners.
"Look, President Xu, this is the magic circle research center I have set aside specifically for our collaborative research project."
While Xu Yi was still thinking about this question in his mind, the great magician Aisenka had already led him to a courtyard consisting of six two-story buildings.
Listening to the introduction of the great magician Aisenka, Xu Yi looked at the small courtyard in front of him and felt that this small courtyard was somewhat similar to the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know if the research and development power inside was also similar to that of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Magic Academy is so powerful.
"There are a total of twenty magicians from the fourth to the seventh level here who are working hard to study the magic circle. In addition, I often come here to conduct some research. I think even compared to your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, The Magic Research Institute is still a little behind, but it won't be too far behind," the great magician Aisenka said to Xu Yida with some satisfaction.
Xu Yi secretly shook his head.
Not to mention that there is a huge gap in the number of magicians here compared to the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The great magician Camilla decided to devote all her efforts to researching magic machinery, while the great magician Aisenka only came here occasionally. This difference is enough to widen the gap between the two sides to a very large extent.
The main project of the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Great Magician Aisenka is research in this area, so once here, the Great Magician Aisenka no longer took Xu Yi to other places in the manor, and took Xu Yi with him After walking around in each small building, he went directly to the magic tower in the center of the manor. (When Ping Nan takes a closer look, he will find that this magic tower is thirteen stories tall, nearly twice as tall as Camilla’s Great Magician Tower, which only has seven stories, and the ground floor occupies an area of It is also more than twice as wide.
This is enough to prove the financial gap between the two great magicians.
However, the general structure of the two magic towers is similar. The top floors are the private spaces of the two great magicians.
The great magician Aisenka led Xu Yi to the top floor, waved all the other followers to leave, and then poured Xu Yi a cup of tea with his own hands. Then he sat down and pretended to have a detailed discussion with Xu Yi.
After a few words of conversation, Xu Yi asked about the progress of the research.
The initial cooperation between the two parties was funded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The great magician Aisenka organized manpower to complete the research.
The research task that Xu Yi gave to the great magician Esenka before. It is about the continuous and stable power output of the magic circle, and how to keep the magic circle on the magic machine intact for a long time.
After more than half a year of research. Both of these topics have achieved certain breakthroughs and have basically met the requirements put forward by Xu Yi.
However, after the great magician Essenka introduced the current progress of the research on these two topics, he said something intriguing.
"According to the original agreement, I can hand over these two research results to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But I can also choose to pay liquidated damages and hand over these two technologies to other chambers of commerce. President Xu, there are many chambers of commerce that are interested in these two The technology was interested and promised me that it could support the liquidated damages for me and purchase it at a high enough price.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that the great magician Esenka didn't know whether he was reminding himself or warning himself.
"Of course, this is your freedom, Your Majesty the Great Magician. But I think since you took the initiative to seek cooperation with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, you must not have planned to destroy this cooperative relationship at this time, right? Otherwise. With your financial resources, We don’t need to pay for R&D at all.”
"That's right." The great magician Aisenka nodded and said: "Compared to other chambers of commerce in the kingdom that are still very immature in the research of magic machinery, I certainly hope to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So President Xu As long as you agree to the conditions I proposed, I think I will not only hand over these two research results according to the agreement, but also continue to assist you in your research."
Xu Yi didn't look surprised: "Please tell me your conditions, Your Majesty the Great Magician."
"According to my original idea, both of us will enjoy the developed technologies together, and then as long as the chamber of commerce uses these two technologies, they will have to pay patent fees for these two technologies. However, at present, both within the kingdom and the Magicians Guild The corresponding patent bill has not yet been passed, so after consideration, I think it is better to use the method before your chamber of commerce to deal with these two technologies," said the great magician Aisenka.
"What method does our Chamber of Commerce use?" Xu Yi thought for a moment. “Does it mean selling the technology directly and then charging corresponding fees?”
"Yes. I think this method is very good. Now these two technologies are shared by us, so the income from selling the technologies also belongs to both of us. What do you think, President Xu?"
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked: "There are two questions. How should the proportion of our share be calculated? Also, the magic machinery of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will also use these two technologies, so how should this be calculated?"
"Because the research on these two technologies is funded by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I provide the people, so I think it is a reasonable choice to divide it half and half. As for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it also needs to use these two technologies... President Xu , I think your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce also needs to spend money to purchase these two technologies, but we will still split it in half.”
"In other words, if our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to use these two technologies, we still have to pay you the corresponding technology usage fees?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes."
Xu Yi thought for a while and shook his head: "I disagree. If these two technologies are sold to other chambers of commerce, then I agree with the distribution plan proposed by the Great Magician. But if our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce uses these technologies ourselves, Two technologies, then I hope we can be immune to that."
The great magician Aisenka seemed a little surprised that Xu Yi refused so simply, and frowned slightly.
"President Xu, although your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has invested in these two technologies, my magicians and I have also put a lot of effort into them. If, as you said, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce uses these The two technologies don’t require any remuneration, so we will definitely lose a lot of income. Do you think this is fair?”
"This has nothing to do with fairness or unfairness. I just don't want the magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce to be subject to such restrictions, or to put it simply, I don't like it." Xu Yi said bluntly.
The great magician Aisenka's frown deepened.
"President Xu, I hope you will not let your personal preferences affect your judgment. As I said just now, I can completely pay liquidated damages to your chamber of commerce according to the agreement, and then take these two technologies as my own. Then you will If the Chamber of Commerce wants to use these two technologies, they must buy them from me.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, relaxed his body, leaned back on the chair, spread his hands, and said with a relaxed expression: "If you really decide to do this, Your Majesty the Great Magician, please do so."
The great magician Aisenka immediately changed his expression slightly.
