"President Xu, come here, please drink a glass of our specialty juice. I guarantee that it will make you feel more comfortable than drinking alcohol." Swain Weilun smiled, and his two small eyes were suddenly covered by the fat on his face. All the meat was squeezed in, and barely any bit of it was exposed.
Xu Yi raised his glass to signal to him and Anklu, and drank the juice in the glass that looked a bit like and tasted a lot like mango juice in one gulp.
Compared to drinking, he actually prefers drinking juice at banquets.
Drinking alcohol always makes people feel dizzy, which Xu Yi, who always hopes to stay rational and clear-thinking at all times, doesn't like.
As soon as she put down the cup, the young maid kneeling next to Xu Yi filled the cup again.
Looking at the few pieces of cloth on this maid who looked underage, Xu Yi couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
The Principality of Standing is extremely poor, but that is for ordinary people. However, big nobles like Chief Wei Lun, who controls a large area of land in the north of the Principality, can still live an extremely luxurious life.
Even compared to the nobles of the Lampali Kingdom, his life was more extravagant and extravagant.
Although most of the nobles in Lampali were promiscuous in their private lives, they rarely allowed such underage girls to entertain guests in such an almost naked posture.
"President Xu, it is an honor for me to have such a distinguished guest as you come here. Come, let's have another drink." Patriarch Wei Lun raised his cup again with a smile.
After Xu Yi finished drinking, Chief Wei Lun rolled his eyes, glanced at Anklu, and said to Xu Yi: "President Xu, I heard Lord Anklu say before that you came to our Principality of Standing this time. Yes. Are you planning to invest in our principality? "
Xu Yi was a little surprised that he got into the topic so quickly. He pondered for a moment, nodded and replied: "Yes."
"Then I would like to ask President Xu, after all this time, do you think our place in Weilun City is worth investing in?" Chief Weilun asked again.
"This guy is very straightforward." Xu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Clan Chief Wei Lun. I'm afraid I can't answer you for the time being. But from what I have observed, there is actually a lot of investment potential here. If there is any in the future If possible, I would love to invest here.”
This sounds like a scene, but it can also be regarded as Xu Yi's innermost thoughts.
Just because of the rich natural resources he saw along the way, there were opportunities to make money by investing here.
The biggest obstacle is the people here.
I want to invest and build here. It is necessary to hire local workers.
But judging from what Xu Yi observed, he was not at ease with the local workers.
Patriarch Wei Lun did not take Xu Yi's words as mere talk. Instead, he asked: "So, if President Xu really comes to invest here, what are your specific plans?"
Seeing that Anklu also put down his cup and listened attentively, Xu Yi thought for a while and said: "For now, I really hope to build a factory to produce canned fruits and a rubber processing factory here. As for the others, … We have no idea yet and will need further investigation before we can decide.”
"Fruit canned factory? Rubber processing factory?" Chief Wei Lun and Anklu looked at each other and couldn't help but ask: "I know rubber, but what is canned fruit?"
"Well... to put it simply, the fruit is cut into pieces and processed, and the mixed juice is put into a sealed glass bottle or iron can. The advantage of this kind of canned fruit is that it can keep the original flavor of the fruit for a long time. After it is made, it can be shipped to other mainland countries for sale. I think it will be popular." Xu Yidao.
Clan Chief Wei Lun and Anklu's eyes suddenly shone.
"Is there another way to preserve fruit?"
Chief Wei Lun was so excited that the fat on his face trembled, and he kept asking: "President Xu, if there is such a good method, then all the fruits here can be sold! We see so many fruits every year It’s rotting in the ground, I feel so bad! President Xu, you must come here and build this fruit canning factory! No matter what you ask for, I will promise you!”
Anklu coughed slightly and stopped the excited Chief Wei Lun from rushing to Xu Yi.
"President Xu, can I ask what this other rubber processing plant does?"
"Of course." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "Mr. Angkru. I think you should know that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has a factory that produces tires, right?"
"Yeah, I know." Angkru nodded. "When I was in Bangta City, I found that all the carriages in Bangta City had been replaced with tires. I even rode on them and found that after the tires were replaced, the carriages not only ran much more smoothly, but also ran much faster. In fact, they ran much faster. I originally planned to buy some tires when I came back so that I could put them on all the carriages at home, but then I had so many things going on that I forgot about it.”
"It seems that you are very aware of the benefits brought by tires." Xu Yi smiled slightly. "The tires currently produced by our chamber of commerce are made of a special material. The properties of this special material are somewhat close to those of rubber. I used this special material because there was no rubber tree found in the Lampali Kingdom. Material. When I first came here and saw a lot of rubber trees, I thought about whether I could use rubber as a substitute for this special material.”
"Yes! Of course it can! It must be possible!" Clan Chief Wei Lun shouted loudly before Anklu. "President Xu, just come here and open this rubber processing factory. As long as you are here, it will be the same as the fruit canning factory. I will do whatever you need me to do!"
Anklu frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable that Chief Wei Lun always expressed his opinions in front of him, but he didn't say anything and just watched Xu Yi's reaction seriously.
Xu Yi didn't react at all. He just kept smiling and nodded: "Since Chief Wei Lun welcomes you so warmly, of course I can't live up to your kindness. After going to see the Grand Duke with Mr. Anklu this time, if everything goes well, I will seriously consider this matter.”
Although Xu Yi did not give an affirmative answer, Patriarch Wei Lun seemed to have agreed. He narrowed his eyes again with a smile, looking quite funny.
Xu Yi's answer was flawless, and Anklu naturally would not express any further opinions.
So this welcome dinner, which was not particularly rich and grand, came to an end in a cheerful atmosphere.
After dinner, it was already dark.
Xu Yi rode a carriage for a day on the shabby dirt roads of the Principality of Standing. He was indeed a little tired, so he said that he planned to take a good rest and refused the invitation from the leader of the Weilun clan and Anklu to go to a meeting outside the city of Weilun. bonfire party.
When taking a bath, unexpectedly but also expectedly, Chief Wei Lun sent two maids to serve Xu Yi in the bath.
Xu Yi was a little uncomfortable at first, but after the two maids explained that this was the order of the patriarch, and even claimed that if they were not allowed to serve, they would be beaten to death by the patriarch, Xu Yi felt soft, but he could only At their mercy.
Fortunately, these two maids must have been trained and did not touch Xu Yi while taking a shower. Otherwise, Xu Yi really doesn't know if he could have controlled it.
After finally taking a shower, the two maids naturally expressed their intention to go to bed again.
Xu Yi thought for a while and agreed to their request to sleep with them.
It's just that the two maids had just taken off their clothes, but they felt dizzy at the same time and passed out.
Xu Yi caught the fallen bodies of the two maids, put them down on the bed, and then pulled the sheets to cover them. He suddenly appeared in the room and knocked out the two maids with the unique spiritual magic of the elves. Nisi nodded: "Let's go."
Yanis glanced at the two maids on the bed, hesitated and asked: "President, spiritual magic can only make them hallucinate, but it cannot affect their bodies. If you really plan to deceive others, As for humans, I suggest you exert some influence on their bodies."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "How to exert influence? Do you want me to touch them? What a joke."
Yanis glanced at Xu Yi and suddenly clapped her hands: "Oh, I remembered it. President, you said last time that because you humans have a sense of shame, you don't like other people watching when you mate, right? ? It doesn't matter, I'm not human."
Xu Yi glared at Yanis angrily: "We humans have a sense of shame, don't you elves have the same sense? I don't believe that you elves like to have other people watching next to you when you mate!"
Yanis shook her head seriously: "We elves will not mate like you humans."
Xu Yi was startled. This was the first time he had heard of this.
"Then how do you elves reproduce? And I think you elves also have a husband-wife relationship similar to that of us humans."
"The way we give birth to offspring..." Yanis tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head. "I don't understand. The elders said that I am still young, and it is at least a hundred years before I start thinking about having children."
Xu Yi could only roll his eyes again, thinking that he had eaten too much discussing such things with an elf.
"Okay, stop talking about these nonsense. Leave these two maids here and don't worry about them. Anyway, I didn't want to completely hide it from them. Yanis, how are you practicing your latent shadow technique now? Can you do it? Promise to take me out?"
Yanis replied somewhat dejectedly: "Not very good."
"What if it's not so good? Are you sure you can take me out?" Xu Yi asked.
"It should be okay if we just take him out of this manor." Yanis replied.
"That's okay. Let's go."
"Yeah." Yanis hummed, and a faint green light flashed across her body, covering Xu Yi as well.
In an instant, the two people disappeared from the room without a trace.
