When leaving Wei Lun Manor the next day, Xu Yi offered to let Chief Wei Lun give her the two maids who served him yesterday.
Patriarch Wei Lun had this idea in mind. Now that he saw Xu Yi taking the initiative, he was naturally overjoyed. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and ordered the two maids to serve the new master with all their heart from today on. They must not violate the promise. Also any meaning.
As for the slave transfer procedures... In the Kingdom of Lampali, you may need to go through some formal procedures, but in the Principality of Standing, slaves are slaves, no different from ordinary goods. Chief Wei Lun said that he would give it to Xu Yi. , no one will question anything.
The carriage left the Weilun Manor under the watch of the joyful Chief Weilun and drove quickly towards Faraday City, the capital of the Principality of Standing.
Anklu, who was sitting opposite Xu Yi in the car, looked at Xu Yi for a long time. After several attempts to speak, he finally couldn't help but asked: "President Xu, based on what I know about you, you shouldn't be Why would someone who cares about beauty take the initiative to ask for these two maids from Patriarch Wei Lun? "
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Don't you think Steele is beautiful?"
Anklu was startled, then shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't mean that at all. Miss Steele is as beautiful as a goddess. President Xu, your vision has nothing to say. But from what I see when I observe your life It seems that you are not very... uh... not particularly enthusiastic about this matter. And I can see that the two maids are still virgins. I'm afraid you didn't touch them at all last night. So. I'm very surprised, why would you ask for them uncharacteristically? "
Xu Yi was suddenly stunned: "You can actually tell that they are still virgins?"
Anklu showed a slightly sexy smile: "Well... an experienced man like me can usually see it. And not only can I see it. I believe that the leader of Wei Lun can also see it."
"Clan Chief Wei Lun can also see that?" After getting a positive answer from Anklu. Xu Yi thought for a while. Not only was he no longer surprised, but he laughed out loud. "That's great. It would be better if Chief Wei Lun could see this. I asked him for these two maids just to show my attitude. Now he knows that these two maids are still virgins, but I If I still take the initiative to ask for it from him, I will definitely understand my attitude better.”
Anklu frowned slightly: "President Xu, do you mean you really plan to cooperate with him?"
"Why not?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "The fruit canning factory and rubber processing factory I mentioned to you yesterday were not a joke. I really think these two factories have great prospects. When I return to Bonta City, I will do my best to open these two factories here. Preparation for a factory. Even... I might open a few more factories."
Seeing the expression on Anklu's face, Xu Yi was a little strange.
"What? Mr. Ankru, haven't you been strongly inviting me to invest in the Principality of Standing? Now I am willing to invest in several more factories in addition to the three mines. Why don't you seem very happy? ?”
"No, I'm not unhappy. If you can think of making more investments, I will only express my strong welcome to this on behalf of the Principality of Standing." Anklu smiled quickly. "I just have some concerns about Chief Wei Lun..."
"Are you worried that he won't be able to cooperate well with me?" Xu Yixiao asked.
Anklu smiled bitterly: "President Xu, you are so perceptive. Yes, based on my understanding of Patriarch Wei Lun, he is almost useless except for greed, and he does not have any outstanding abilities at all. I am very optimistic about your choice to be with him. I am very worried about cooperation. I am worried that he may ruin your affairs and make you lose confidence in our principality.”
"Greedy? Greed is good. I'm just afraid that he's not greedy." Xu Yi smiled and didn't care much. "Greedy people have clearer goals and are easier to deal with. As long as Patriarch Wei Lun is not too greedy, I think my cooperation with him should be very pleasant."
Anklu could only continue to smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that he is too greedy. President Xu, you may not know much about the characters of these great nobles in our principality. Guys like Patriarch Wei Lun want to take everything Even though he is very close to you now, he may fall out at any time for the sake of profit."
Hearing the helplessness in Anklu's tone, Xu Yi thought for a while and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Mr. Anklu, I originally thought you deliberately asked me to stay in Weilun City for one night to meet this Weilun clan leader. The meeting was an agreement between you and him, which gave me the idea of investing near Weilun City. But now that I hear you say this, I feel that this is not your real idea."
Anklu was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Since you, President Xu, have seen it, I will no longer hide it. Yes, this is indeed an agreement reached between me and Patriarch Wei Lun. If I If I can let you rest for a night in Weilun Manor and create an opportunity for Patriarch Weilun to come into contact with you, I will gain Patriarch Weilun's support for me. This is considered an exchange."
"Well, I can understand this approach." Xu Yi nodded. "But I don't understand why you are saying such frustrating things to me now. Are you suddenly dissatisfied with Patriarch Wei Lun?"
"It's not because of any sudden dissatisfaction with Patriarch Wei Lun... Well, that's right." Anklu showed a bitter smile, but there was a trace of sincerity in this smile. "President Xu, actually, although I strongly invite you to invest in our principality, I don't actually have high expectations for it. Because our principality has been in a stagnant situation for too long, I don't I don’t think just one person or one chamber of commerce can change this situation.”
"This idea is not surprising, because actually I don't think our New Flying Chamber of Commerce can change the entire Principality of Standing." Xu Yi nodded.
"But after spending a day with you in our principality yesterday, I realized that I might have thought wrong." Anklu looked at Xu Yi with a little hope in his eyes. "Other chambers of commerce and other people may not be able to change the entire principality. But President Xu, I really feel this possibility from you!"
Xu Yi was startled and waved his hand quickly: "You have too high expectations for me."
"No! It's not high at all!" Anklu said seriously: "President Xu, you just came to our principality for a day. You just saw some sights along the way. You can casually come up with the idea of building a fruit canning factory. and rubber processing plants. If you were asked to conduct a comprehensive inspection of our principality, how many novel ideas would pop up in your head? If all of these ideas were realized, I would definitely be interested. Huge changes to the entire principality!”
"You are too exaggerated." Xu Yi smiled and said: "Building a factory is just an ordinary investment I made, but whether it can change the face of the entire country ultimately depends on the people of this country."
After hearing the next words, Anklu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was like a deflated rubber ball. Both his face and body collapsed quickly.
"People..." Anklu turned his head and looked out the car window. He smiled bitterly again and sighed softly: "It's not that easy to change these people..."
Looking at Anklu's desolate profile, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this man who had always been energetic and enthusiastic since he first met him seemed to have become very lonely now.
One morning passed, and the carriage carried Xu Yi and Anklu to Faraday City. Xu Yi successfully met Grand Duke Standing and several important ministers of the Principality of Standing under the introduction of Anklu.
Xu Yi suddenly discovered that he only had a simple contact with the equally pot-bellied Archduke Standing and several ministers. He seemed to understand why Angkru felt so lonely.
Before meeting Grand Duke Standing, Xu Yi thought that the surrounding Grand Dukes would take the initiative to sell three mines in Standing Principality to an unknown chamber of commerce in another country. Then it must be a leader with great courage and courage who plans to sell these three mines to introduce investment from chambers of commerce from other countries, thereby changing the poverty and backwardness of the Principality of Standing.
However, after seeing Grand Duke Standing in person, having lunch with him, and having a period of conversation, Xu Yi discovered that his previous guess about Grand Duke Standing was completely wrong.
Not only is this Grand Duke even fatter than Patriarch Weilun, but his greed is also more violent and obvious than that of Patriarch Weilun.
After meeting Xu Yi, after just a few words of greeting, Grand Duke Standing quickly turned the topic to the three mines.
What surprised Xu Yi was that Grand Duke Standing and Ankru's statements were completely different.
When Ankru and Xu Yi negotiated, they hoped to exchange these three mines for some technologies mastered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. However, Grand Duke Standing asked Xu Yi very bluntly how many gold coins he planned to spend to purchase these three mines. .
When Xu Yi said that he could not give a specific number because he had not conducted an on-site inspection of the three mines, Grand Duke Standing and several other ministers actually forced Xu Yi to give a rough number, claiming that as long as The price offered by Xu Yi is right, and they can decide to sell these three mines to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now.
Xu Yi was forced to give out a price ranging from one million to one and a half million gold coins.
He originally estimated the price of these three mines at about two million gold coins, but after seeing the faces of Grand Duke Standing and those ministers, he could not even estimate the price between one million and two million. Don't even dare to say it.
Because after hearing his quotation, Grand Duke Standing and several ministers' eyes shone, and they directly ignored the quotation of one million gold coins, and actually planned to directly settle on the price of 1.5 million gold coins.
Xu Yi was sure that if he said between one million and two million gold coins, these guys would definitely set the price at two million gold coins.
Thinking of what Anklu said on the way here, Xu Yi looked at Grand Duke Standing and the ministers whose faces were full of greed and joy, thinking that Anklu was not as interested in these things as he thought before. When people judge too harshly, they speak too conservatively.
It's not just the leader of Wei Lun who is greedy and unreliable.
In Xu Yi's opinion, the leaders of this principality, including Grand Duke Standing, are all greedy and unreliable! (To be continued...)
