"President, you..." Kennard frowned and looked at Xu Yi. He held it in for a long time before shaking his head and sighing: "When I was in contact with the presidents of other chambers of commerce in the city, I often heard that someone You were said to be a prodigal. At first I didn't know why they judged you so, but now... I can only say that they were right. "
Xu Yi smiled and didn't seem to care at all about this comment.
"It can't be regarded as a prodigal. This time, in order to obtain the cement production technology, the Luersun Kingdom must pay a full half million gold coins for it. It also promised to pay certain fees to any chamber of commerce that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sells to their country in the future. Proportional tariff concessions, calculated this way, I think it is very profitable. ”
"But Mr. President, according to the financial statistics of the Chamber of Commerce last month provided by Director Sebas, the cement factory provided the Chamber of Commerce with a huge profit of more than 70,000 gold coins last month. Even if the one-time sale of technology can obtain 500,000 gold coins, But it will directly lose the market of the Luersun Kingdom, and the loss will be more than ten and a half million gold coins. Do you think this is a good deal?" Kennard asked with a sad look on his face.
"Ten and half a million gold coins? No, no, no, your estimate is too little. If the Luersun Kingdom follows the example of our Lampali Kingdom and starts building roads aggressively, the amount of cement consumed will be an astronomical figure. . In the end, the cost will be at least tens of millions of gold coins." Xu Yidao.
"Then why did you agree to sell them the production technology?" Kennard couldn't help asking.
"Kennard, after all, you haven't worked with me long enough to understand my intentions." Xu Yi sighed. "If Heinze were here, although he would definitely still call me a prodigal, he would definitely be able to understand my current thoughts."
Kennard shook his head: "Of course I don't know you as well as Vice President Heinze. And I really don't understand your thoughts."
"Do you still remember what I said to you before you decided to join our Chamber of Commerce as the general manager?" Xu Yi asked.
Kennard thought for a while: "You mean 'flying into space'?"
"Absolutely." Xu Yi nodded. "I think you should be very clear about how far away and even unrealistic my ideal is. But in order to achieve this goal, I must continue to speed up the process. So if you carefully study what I did after the founding of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce . You will find that I have never particularly cared about the exclusive use of technology by our chamber of commerce. I often take the initiative to sell it or even give it away for free.”
"Well, this is something I really don't understand." Kennard nodded honestly. "If the technologies that the Chamber of Commerce has sold are kept in our own hands, I am sure that the profits earned by our Chamber of Commerce will grow more steadily and last longer."
"But it will take longer." Xu Yidao. "Of course I know what kind of rhythm we should maintain as a normal chamber of commerce. But if we maintain this rhythm, there will be no possibility of realizing my ideals in my life. So I have to take the initiative to promote this process. , accelerating the pace of development of the magic industry on this continent."
"But what does this have to do with your decision to sell cement production technology to the Luersun Kingdom?" Kennard asked.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and pointed to the flat highway not far outside the window: "The main problem that limits the development of this continent is actually transportation. Highways can greatly improve this problem, so even if Newman doesn't make this request. I We have long planned to sell the cement production technology so that cement plants can be built everywhere in the Lampali Kingdom and speed up the construction of roads in the kingdom. Now, Kennard, you will host a press conference tomorrow. The news that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will sell cement production technology is announced.”
Seeing that Xu Yi had made up his mind, Kennard had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Seeing that Kennard was still a little confused on his face. Xu Yi smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Kennard, as the general manager under me, you have to straighten your chest and keep looking forward. Before we achieve your goals and mine, everything must be done." All irrelevant thoughts should be put aside, understand?"
Kennard showed a wry smile: "But Mr. President, the steps you have taken are really too big. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
###
The second day after Xu Yi returned to Bangta City. Kennard followed his orders and held a press conference.
At the press conference, Kennard announced the news that he would sell cement production technology, which immediately caused a sensation again.
As soon as they received the news, countless chambers of commerce from Bangta City and surrounding cities came to inquire about the price of purchasing this technology.
Although the high price of half a million gold coins scared off most of the chambers of commerce, there were still two chambers of commerce that put forward purchasing demands.
In this way, including the Amri Chamber of Commerce, only in Bangta City and several nearby cities. There are three chambers of commerce that want to buy this technology.
As a result, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received a technology transfer fee of 1.5 million gold coins.
This is just the beginning.
A week later, other chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom also received the news, and they also came one after another. In the end, as many as eight chambers of commerce purchased cement production technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
All in all. In the Lampali Kingdom alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received a huge amount of 5.5 million gold coins from selling this technology.
Coupled with the 500,000 gold coins from the Luersun Kingdom, the sale of this technology brought a terrifying profit of 6 million gold coins to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!
Seeing this terrifying profit, Kennard's objection to Xu Yi's decision disappeared instantly.
As Xu Yi said, cement production technology is not actually a sophisticated technology. In fact, after such a long period of practical use, the Amuli Chamber of Commerce has already figured out part of it. Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not sell it, I am afraid it will not take much time. The Amri Chamber of Commerce will thoroughly research this technology and get rid of its dependence on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Rather than being passive when the time comes, it is better to take the initiative to sell now and get such a huge amount of income.
Xu Yi's decision had immediate results.
Less than half a month after the cement production technology was sold, as many as a dozen cement factories, large and small, popped up in Bangta City and several surrounding cities.
Three of them were naturally built by the three chambers of commerce that purchased this technology. As for the others...
Xu Yicai didn't bother to care about how these cement factories came into being, because he had more important things to do now.
"Kambi, be careful! Don't touch it with your hands. This thing has electricity, so be careful of electric shock to you!" Xu Yi shouted to stop Canby from moving the generator with his hands.
"What are you afraid of when there is electricity?" Canby waved his arm nonchalantly. "More than a hundred years ago, when I was fighting with a human magician, I was hit several times by the human magician with lightning magic, but nothing happened. I didn't believe that such a little thing could be stronger than high-level magic. sharp."
After saying that, Canby ignored Xu Yi's stop and reached out to touch the generator that was running at high speed.
"呲呲呲呲呲—"
There was a spooky electric sound that made everyone's hair stand on end. Everyone saw traces of light blue electric light coming out of Canby's body, and his short but thick body kept shaking, which looked funny but scary.
Xu Yi made a quick decision and quickly stopped the generator and continued running. Then the magic power circulated in the body, driving out all the electric charges flowing in Canby's body.
However, even if Xu Yi reacted quickly enough, Kanby was still severely shocked.
Although the dwarves were born with strong physiques and strong anti-magic properties, Canby was not injured this time, but the electric current burned all his clothes to charcoal. Even his original brown hair was burnt and stood up comically, like a broomstick.
Everyone couldn't help laughing at the same time when they saw Canby's current appearance.
In particular, the other dwarves from the Magic Machine Tool Research Workshop pointed at Canby and laughed, almost rolling on the ground.
After Kanby stayed there for a long time, he shivered vigorously and looked at the stopped generator with some fear. He said to Xu Yi in surprise: "President, is this thing too powerful? I feel it is more powerful than the seventh-level electric magic of you human magicians."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him: "Nonsense. Generally speaking, the voltage of seventh-level electrical magic is not even 400 volts. Don't look at this generator as small. The voltage it generates is at least more than 1,000 volts. Of course it is even more powerful. Let you You didn’t listen to my warning, do you feel better now?”
Canby touched the hair that stood up on his head and laughed twice. Then he asked: "President, what do you mean by voltage and volts?"
"This is a bit troublesome to explain. When I have time, I will write a book on the basics of electricity for you to read. Then you will understand. Now let's take a look at the operation of this generator? It should have been running just now. "Has it been going on for more than an hour? If there is no problem, the preliminary test should be considered successful."
Watching several dwarves approach the generator cautiously, they confirmed that there was no more current coming out of the generator. Only then did he start to check the structure of the generator, and Xu Yi felt a little funny.
This group of dwarves relied on their thick skin and thick flesh to refuse to listen to them despite being reminded several times that there was a danger of electric shock. Now Canby had been taught a lesson. Presumably, when they face generators again, their safety awareness will be improved.
Compared with the ultra-small wind generator that Xu Yi used in the magician qualification examination, which was less than the size of a palm, the generator that Xu Yi and the dwarves jointly developed after returning to Bangta City is now It was already as wide as Camby's waist, and looked like a big lump when placed on the ground.
However, compared with the generator sets of power stations on the earth, this is still only a small generator, and it still uses the power provided by the wind magic array to generate electric current.
Compared with the power generated, the biggest problem with this generator is the coil material.
Because the Lampali Kingdom has strict control over copper mines, Xu Yi is temporarily unable to obtain a large amount of copper from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to make coils, so he has to use aluminum instead.
However, even aluminum is still a rare item in Sainz continent. The aluminum used by Xu Yi to make this generator was obtained from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce with great difficulty.
Moreover, the aluminum used to make this generator is not refined well, and the quality of the coils is very poor. As a result, the generator can only run for a maximum of one hour before it breaks down.
In just these three days of experiments, dozens of sets of aluminum coils were scrapped. It was about to consume all the aluminum materials that Xu Yi finally obtained.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi could only shake his head slightly.
It seems that even if it is a generator experiment, the first thing that needs to be solved is the material problem.
If you want to conduct more in-depth experiments, you can only wait for the non-ferrous metal veins to be officially mined and a sufficient amount of aluminum or even copper to be provided.
As for the entire city of Bangta being powered by electricity, so that the city can become a city that never sleeps like those cities on earth, as Xu Yixuan imagined, it can only exist in his imagination at present.
The dwarves were still busy around the generator, but Xu Yi looked out the window in the direction of the black rice wasteland.
When you think of mining the non-ferrous metal veins of the Worrall Werewolf Tribe, you have to go to the Black Rice Wasteland. When you think of the Black Rice Wasteland, you think of the Principality of Standing, which borders the Black Rice Wasteland.
That guy Anklu is still waiting hard in Bangta City, so when should he leave
