"Fifty-seven hundred gold coins and three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins, tsk tsk..." Hainas looked at the two things in Xu Yi's hands and praised them again and again. "Xu Yi, your gap is too big. If I were Fredo, I would think you are just making trouble."
"This notebook of Magister Thorne is what I want. Of course, the lower the price, the better. Without pretending to be poor, how can I get it for only 5,700 gold coins? According to my review of it, The minimum estimate should be more than 100,000 gold coins," Xu Yidao.
"The minimum is one hundred thousand gold coins?" Heinas grabbed Magister Thorn's notes from Xu Yi in confusion and flipped through them. He found that it was just like many magicians' notes, recording some research questions about magic. There’s nothing too strange about it, so I couldn’t help but wonder: “Is there anything special about this thing? Are you so willing to spend money on it?”
"If even you can see the special thing inside, then how could I get it so easily." Xu Yi took the note back with a smile and put it away carefully. "I can only tell you that with the help of these things, I can definitely develop good things that can bring millions or even tens of millions of gold coins to our New Flying Chamber of Commerce."
"Hey, you're bragging too much, aren't you? It's a lot of words." Heinas was a little unconvinced. "You are going to say that you can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins for your New Flying Chamber of Commerce with this thing. With your usual skills, I will believe you. Millions or even tens of millions of gold coins? Are you kidding me!" Xu Yi shrugged: "Forget it if you don't believe me."
Hainas snorted coldly and pointed to the necklace in the box in Xu Yi's hand: "What about this necklace? It cost you a full 350,000 gold coins? You have never been so extravagant, right? That's a lot of words."
Xu Yi glanced at the box in his hand, sighed and said: "There is no way. Public relations costs must also be paid. In order to flatter the Lifao family, three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is not too much. I I originally expected the amount to be as high as possible, so I deliberately angered Fredo, hoping that he could raise the price with me and raise the final auction price. However, I didn't expect that this guy would act so arrogantly, but he just wanted to raise the price. I was really disappointed because I only got 350,000 gold coins.”
Hainas glared at Xu Yi angrily and amusedly: "Do you think anyone can control so many gold coins at will like you? This is because your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is too efficient and the profits are too high, so you can use it at will." A big figure like 150,000 gold coins. The president of another chamber of commerce would not be as lavish as you. As for Fredo... Although his family is rich, he is not the patriarch, so how can he be like you? "Honourable." "Since I don't have the confidence, why should I act so arrogantly? I misjudged his strength and had high expectations for him." Xu Yi shook his head and sighed.
Heinas rolled his eyes: "That's enough for you. If Fredo hears what you said, he will be furious to death."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about him. How did you go about contacting the Lifao family for me?"
"Aren't you still worried about me doing things? No problem. I have already contacted a certain boy from their family and made an appointment to meet him tomorrow night."
"A certain boy?" Xu Yi frowned. "My goal is to have a direct conversation with the patriarch of their family. What's the use of meeting this person?"
"Because this boy is the biological son of the current head of the Lifao family, and he is his only biological son." Heinas explained. "Let me tell you, although the Lifao family is in decline, it is still very proud. If you want to see the patriarch directly, your identity is not enough. Even if the great magician Camilla comes in person, they may not be willing to see you. So, let’s do it step by step.”…
"Can't you knock on the door of their family with 350,000 gold coins? Isn't the threshold too high? That's a lot of words." Xu Yi glanced at the box in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Fortunately, this necklace is exquisitely made, has a beautiful appearance and has a sense of mystery. In addition, the great magister Lifao personally made this loud sign, so it can be considered a good gift for Steele, otherwise this time it would be too much trouble. The 350,000 gold coins were a bit of a loss.
"Nonsense, I am a descendant of the Great Magister, so the threshold is of course high." Hainas glared at Xu Yi and warned: "We have an appointment tomorrow night. Remember to reserve the time in advance. Don't let me make an appointment then. Well, if you don’t arrive, then even this chance is gone.”
"Well... tomorrow night... it should be no problem, I will arrange it." Xu Yi nodded in agreement.
Hainas nodded, thought for a while and continued: "Okay, now that we have decided on this matter, we will discuss the matter of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce placing advertisements in Anvilmar Daily."
Xu Yi was slightly startled: "Didn't I tell you about this in advance? What else are we discussing? Is there something unexpected?"
"This..." The expression on Heinas's face was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. "There is no problem on my side. But you also know that I am not the only one who has the final say in this Anvilmar Daily. After I reported your Chamber of Commerce's intention to place advertisements, some people raised objections. "
Xu Yi frowned: "Who is it? What are you objecting to?"
"It's not convenient for me to tell you who it is. As for the objections... Mainly because I feel that our "Anvilmar Daily", as the largest newspaper in the Lampali Kingdom, has to help your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce advertise for a chamber of commerce. It's really a little bit... It doesn’t make sense…”
"So? What conditions are needed?" Xu Yi cut off Hainas' words without politeness.
The expression on Heinas's face became even more embarrassing, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "The opinions of those above are that advertising is okay, and as a newspaper, this is what we should do. But our "Anvilmar Daily" is the third largest newspaper in the Kingdom. If you want to place an advertisement in a large newspaper, you must show enough sincerity... "
"Okay, I understand." Xu Yi nodded. "One hundred thousand gold coins, is that enough?"
Hainas was startled: "One hundred thousand gold coins? Xu Yi, you... are you kidding?".
"What? Don't you think it's too much?" Xu Yi asked back.
"No, it's not that I think it's too much, oh no, that's not right, I do think it's too much. Those people asked me to come to you to talk about this, meaning that you can just come up with 10,000 gold coins, but in the end, you asked for 100,000 gold coins? I asked you, do you have too much money and no place to use it?" Heinas asked anxiously.
"Ten thousand gold coins?". Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
People in this world really don’t know much about the power of newspapers, otherwise they would never have such a small appetite.
Heinas is actually right. With Heinas as the editor-in-chief and the support of many great nobles and even the royal family in Anvilmar City, the Anvilmar Daily has indeed developed into the first newspaper in the Lampali Kingdom. A large newspaper with distribution points in every city in the kingdom.
For a large newspaper with such influence and scope, the asking price of 10,000 gold coins is actually quite low for advertising on it.
"Let's do this, Heinas, we are old friends, and I won't beat around the bush with you. One hundred thousand gold coins, but my request is that "Anvilmar Daily" and "Lampalli Weekly" cannot publish it in the future. Any negative news and news about our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and within this month, "Anvilmar Daily" can only publish advertisements from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will not accept any advertisements from other chambers of commerce. At the same time, this advertising agreement continues. One year, as for one year later, we will make an agreement depending on the situation. "…
Heinas frowned and thought for a long time, looking a little hesitant: "Other conditions are fine, but the "Anvilmar Daily" and "Lampali Weekly" are not allowed to publish any negative news and news about your New Flying Chamber of Commerce... Just... To be honest, it's a bit against my principles. Xu Yi, you should know very well that the reason why I love this career is because it can reveal unknown facts to everyone and expose evil to the sun. Although I don’t think your new flight dealer will cause these things, but I’m just afraid... "
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that Hainas had been working in the newspaper industry for almost three years, and it was really rare for him to still maintain such an innocent mentality and enthusiasm.
"Well, let's set a time limit, let's just say it's one year. Within this year, neither the Anvilmar Daily nor the Lampali Weekly will be allowed to report on any of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce's affairs. Negative news, as for what you want to do in one year, that’s up to you.”
Hainas was silent for a while, then frowned and asked: "Xu Yi, why do you insist on this request? And what does it mean to set the deadline within one year?"
"To put it simply, it is because this year is the most critical period for our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. I hope that I can be given a relaxed environment for another year to develop the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, or to be precise, the magic industry to Lampali. Go to every corner of the kingdom, so I don’t want any unexpected situations or obstacles." Xu Yi replied.
"I think I roughly understand. In the past few months, your Chamber of Commerce has begun investing heavily in building factories in other cities, just for this development plan, right? A lot of words."
"This is just the beginning." Xu Yi nodded. "My goal is that in the future, every city in the kingdom will have a factory that produces magic machinery, and everyone in the kingdom will find a corresponding job in these factories. Every place in the kingdom can become like Bonta City Just as prosperous.”
Hainas took a deep look at Xu Yi and nodded slowly: "I believe you can do it. Well, for your goal, I will violate my principles once and agree to this condition. But Xu Yi, you Remember, the time limit is only one year, and if you, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, do anything wrong within this year, I will write it down and expose it all after one year!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly and made a gesture of spreading his hands: "Please feel free to do so."
