Xu Yi glanced at Freeman in surprise: "Why did you come up with this idea?"
Freeman touched his head and replied with a smile: "Actually, the reason is very simple. It is more profitable to make complete machines than to make parts..."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "It's more difficult to make a complete machine than to make parts. You are good at processing parts, and it seems to me that it is very promising. Why do you suddenly need to transform?"
Freeman looked at the disapproving expression on Xu Yi's face and asked cautiously: "So... you don't agree with us making a magic fan?"
"Well..." Xu Yi thought about it seriously and shook his head: "It's not that I don't agree with it at all. After all, the United Irish Chamber of Commerce is your own chamber of commerce, and I can't make decisions for you. But I must also remind you to do the complete machine and the Parts are two different things. Although your parts processing at the United Irish Chamber of Commerce is very good and the workmanship level has reached a very good level, there are many things that need to be paid attention to in the whole machine and the requirements for technical points are also very high. You really Are you sure you can succeed?"
"I can't say I'm completely sure." Freeman shook his head honestly. "But we think we should give it a try. What do you think?"
"If you are really determined to try it, I support it. But if this new attempt fails, it is likely to cause you to suffer serious losses. Do you have the confidence and psychological preparation to bear huge losses?" Xu Yi asked again .
Freeman nodded vigorously: "Yes. Everyone knows that if you want to complete the whole machine, there will definitely be a lot of difficulties. But if you don't even dare to try, it would be too shameful. So after discussion, we Finally, we unanimously decided to try making a magic fan.”
Looking at the serious expression on Freeman's face, Xu Yi was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "Okay, now that you have made up your mind, I can't say much. Tell me, how do you need me to support you? Put the production magic Will all the fan technology be transferred to you? To be honest, I don’t think you can afford it, because when this related technology is transferred to other chambers of commerce in Bangta City, it will require a minimum technology transfer fee of 100,000 gold coins. I’m afraid it’s not enough.”
"Well, I understand that. But President Xu, we do not intend to purchase all the magic fan production technology from you, but only hope to purchase the technology related to the magic circle."
"Oh?" Xu Yi was a little surprised. "Although the technology related to the magic circle is the core technology of the magic fan, it cannot be used to make a magic fan. In my opinion, the most important thing for a magic fan is the mechanical structure and structure outside the magic circle. Appearance parts and other technologies.”
"We are confident that we can overcome these." Freeman said with confidence. "We at the United Irish Chamber of Commerce have been engaged in parts processing for more than a year, and now everyone is very confident in producing qualified parts. Not satisfied with what you said, we have basically figured out the structure of various new Fei brand magic fans. Everyone I believe that if we work hard enough, we can even produce a magic fan that is exactly the same as the Xinfei brand magic fan.”
"Ha. You have enough confidence." Xu Yi smiled and said: "But Freeman, I think you think of this thing too simply. Any magic machine is not just composed of different It’s so simple to assemble the parts, and it also contains a lot of mechanical theoretical knowledge. If you can’t master these, I’m afraid you will encounter a lot of difficulties when producing the magic fan.”
"I know." Freeman was still confident. "But everyone and I really want to give it a try. President Xu, are you willing to give us this opportunity?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Of course I am willing. To be honest, I am very happy to hear this idea from your mouth. In fact, to tell you the truth, if possible, I even hope that more chambers of commerce can People like you have the courage to try to produce higher-end magic machines, because only in this way can the magic industry develop more quickly."
"Really?" Hearing Xu Yi's promise, Freeman was immediately filled with surprise. He grabbed Xu Yi's hand, shook it vigorously and asked, "Then President Xu, are you willing to transfer the magic circle-related technology of the magic fan?" Give it to us?" At this point, Freeman showed a hint of shyness and coyness. "But... President Xu. You also know that our Chamber of Commerce doesn't have that much money. Can you... sell it to us cheaper?"
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded. "Since I agreed, of course I won't embarrass you anymore." Xu Yi stretched out another finger. "Ten thousand gold coins is the transfer fee for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to transfer magic circle-related technology to your United Irish Chamber of Commerce. How about it? Do you think it is acceptable?"
The worry on Freeman's face was immediately wiped away, and he laughed.
"Yes, yes! Of course! It's only 10,000 gold coins. This is too cheap! President Xu, to be honest with you, our original estimate was..." Freeman suddenly paused.
Seeing the suppressed look on Freeman's face, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing and shaking his head: "Did Kovacs warn you not to tell me your bottom line?"
Freeman rubbed his hands in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind and said: "I would say that this kid Kaovach has thought too much. He has nothing to hide in front of you, President Xu. In fact, We originally estimated that we would need at least 30,000 gold coins to win it, but we didn’t expect you to be so generous and only asked us for 10,000 gold coins, which is really cheap!”
Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "To me, the difference between ten thousand gold coins and thirty thousand gold coins is not big. But for you, the difference is too big. Since I said, I hope you can do more research on magic machinery. If we go to the next level, we should think carefully about it. If I save you 20,000 gold coins, you can invest this money in research and avoid many detours. "
Freeman's expression was full of gratitude, and he sighed with emotion: "President Xu, I have to say that you are really a great benefactor to me and my brothers. If it weren't for you, my brothers and I would still be just ordinary people in the Irish village. How can a farmer own a chamber of commerce like this and earn tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins every year?"
"Don't say anything unnecessary." Xu Yi waved his hand. "Listen, the technology can be transferred to you, but since you have made up your mind to conduct other research on your own, don't expect me to help you in other aspects. This time, you, the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, must complete it independently. Otherwise I will be completely disappointed with you, do you understand what I mean?"
Freeman nodded vigorously: "I understand. President Xu, you are also thinking about our long-term development."
"Well, this matter is settled." Xu Yidao. "You should prepare in the next two days and formally submit a technology transfer application to our Chamber of Commerce. I will notify General Manager Kennard and Dean Evita and ask them to approve this application."
Freeman's face was full of gratitude. He paused and said, "Besides this, President Xu, can you do us one more small favor?"
"Say it."
"Well... we also want to recruit a few magicians... Do you think... can you introduce a few to us?" Freeman asked with some uneasiness.
"This is no small favor." Xu Yi gave Freeman a meaningful look. "In addition, Freeman, it seems that the ambitions of your United Irish Chamber of Commerce are not small..."
Freeman chuckled, but acquiesced.
"Well, really powerful magicians are probably not willing to go to a small chamber of commerce like yours. Let me give you a suggestion. Among the magicians who graduated from Baron Rictor Magic Academy this year, there may still be some who have not found a job. , you can try it.”
Freeman understood immediately and nodded with a smile.
After having a hasty lunch with Freeman's many thanks, Xu Yi finally returned to the small building where he and Steele had been living in Falling Rain Valley recently, only to find that Steele was already waiting for her. For a long time.
"Didn't you say you would come back for dinner at noon? Why are you coming back now?" Steele sniffed Xu Yi and noticed a hint of alcohol. He frowned and asked, "What? Who did you go drinking with?"
"After getting off the carriage, I happened to meet President Freeman of the United Irish Chamber of Commerce. He took him to have a meal and talk about some things." Xu Yi gave a rough explanation and casually asked about Steele's visit this time. Going to Anvilmar City.
"Overall, it's pretty good." Steele pulled Xu Yi to sit down, frowning slightly and replied: "The Kingdom Council is not too strict in the review of dwarves and elves obtaining labor certificates, and they fully agreed with me. As their agent, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber of commerce in the kingdom that is qualified as an agent. However, there are many objections in the kingdom council when it comes to the employment of orcs."
"Oh? Why do you object?"
"Basically, we are worried that the orcs are cruel in nature. Even if they are willing to become employees of the Human Chamber of Commerce and work honestly, if they reveal their true nature at any time, they will easily cause harm to humans." Steele said.
"Their worries are not completely unreasonable, but they also don't realize that times are different now, and they can't look at problems from the old perspective." Xu Yi sighed with emotion, thought for a while, and asked Steele: "I Remember, there seems to be a famous song and dance troupe in Anvilmar? Or is it a drama troupe? "
Steele was curious as to why Xu Yi suddenly asked this question. He glanced at him inexplicably and replied, "It's the Morgana Opera Company, the one starring in the opera, not some song and dance troupe or drama troupe."
"Oh, opera, that's better." Xu Yi smiled and asked: "Steele, are you interested in starting an opera troupe to surpass this Morgana Opera Troupe?"
Steele was even more confused and asked in shock: "Why is it suddenly related to the opera troupe again? What on earth do you want to say?"
Xu Yi chuckled: "Nothing, I was just thinking, if you open an opera troupe with actors from humans, elves, dwarves, and various orcs, and perform operas in front of the big shots in Anvilmar City, Will it make them less wary of these foreign races?”
Steele's eyes suddenly lit up.
