Establishing a relationship with the Lifao family and placing advertisements in the "Anvilmar Daily" are just two of the more important things that Xu Yi needs to do after arriving in Anvilmar City this time. ?. .
After discussing with Hainas, Xu Yi went to three more places without stopping, meeting with Colma Lenders, the president of the Walmart Chamber of Commerce, the great magician Esenka, and President Allen, who had made appointments in advance. Met once.
By the time he dragged his tired body back to Earl Satsuma's villa, it was almost dark.
Supervisor Ram, who had been waiting for Xu Yi to come back, saw Xu Yi entering the door and immediately greeted him cordially.
Although Count Satsuma is no longer the lord of Bonta City, this villa is still retained by him and used as a temporary office for people from Bonta City who come to Anvilmar City.
Xu Yi always chose to stay here when he came to Anvilmar City several times before, and this time was no exception.
Because of Count Satsuma's repeated instructions, Director Ram was extremely respectful and polite every time he saw Xu Yi, and did not dare to neglect him at all.
Seeing Director Ram instructing the servants to prepare bath water after his instructions, Xu Yi had the idea of buying a residence in Anvilmar City. In the future, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely open more and more businesses in Anvilmar City, and the number of times he comes to Anvilmar City will only increase. It is obviously inconvenient to live here all the time, so it is better to have a place of his own. better.
Although it is not easy to buy a suitable residence in Anvilmar City, through the relationship of Hainas and as long as you are willing to pay. I believe it is not difficult.
But when he thought about it, he just spent nearly half a million gold coins today, and Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Among these expenses, 350,000 gold coins are considered investment for the Lifao family, and 100,000 gold coins are considered investment in advertising, both of which are investments that will not see benefits in the short term.
Instead, it was Magister Thorn's notes that were bought for only 5,700 gold coins. But it is very likely that you will be able to see specific effects after a period of time.
Xu Yi picked up the notes in his hand and looked through them, confirming that the contents were the same as the rumors. They recorded some of Magister Thorn's research in his later years. Including many relevant research records about his research on magical flying machines.
These things would be extremely helpful for Evita to study magic spaceships, if it weren't for other magicians not paying any attention to this aspect. It is absolutely impossible for Xu Yi to buy such a precious notebook for only 5,700 gold coins. After sorting out the contents of the notes in his mind, Xu Yi closed the notes with satisfaction and was about to return to his bedroom to put things away when he suddenly noticed a swaying figure coming in behind him.
Xu Yi took a closer look and found that this guy who seemed to be unable to walk steadily was actually Alex.
"Alex. Where have you been? Why are you back so late?" Xu Yi looked at the drunken Alex walking over, and couldn't help but frown and asked.
Alex raised his eyelids and saw that it was Xu Yi. He was suddenly startled, and most of his drunkenness flew away in an instant, and he quickly managed to stand up straight. He smiled and said: "Well... I went out to... meet with friends and talk about some things, so I'm late. When did you arrive, President?"
"Friends? Talking about things?" Xu Yi did not answer Alex's question. His eyes were on his clothes, which had been stained by wine and vomit in many places, and looked wrinkled, but he could still see that The workmanship is excellent, the materials are high-end, and the clothes are obviously valuable. The thick gold necklace around his neck and the amethyst agate bracelet on his wrist, which looked very precious at first sight, passed over him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. .
"Well... talk... talk... They want to buy a batch of magic refrigerators from our chamber of commerce, so they are negotiating the price with me." Alex replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh? How about the price negotiation?" Xu Yi asked again.
Alex wiped his sweat again and replied hesitantly: "It's... not bad. They promised a price of twenty-eight gold coins."
"Oh? That's not bad." Xu Yi nodded. "Although it's a little worse than our standard price of thirty gold coins, if they buy enough, it's not bad."
"Yes, yes, they bought more, so I gave them a little discount accordingly." Alex nodded repeatedly. "President, didn't you say that I... I can adjust the price appropriately according to the situation?"
"Yes, I said, this is the authority of you, the branch manager, there is no problem." Xu Yi nodded, paused, and then asked: "But Alex, since I happened to meet you, I I want to ask you a question."
"Ah? President, you ask."
"Before I came to Anvilmar City this time, your uncle Heinze discussed with me and planned to transfer you back to Bangta City..."
"Ah? How can that be done! I won't go back!" Before Xu Yi could finish speaking, Alex waved his hands vigorously and shouted loudly. "I don't want to go back to that small place in Bangta City. I stayed well in Anvilmar City. Why do I have to go back?"
Xu Yi looked at the excited Alex quietly, and after he stopped moving, he continued: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Although this is Heinze's suggestion, I haven't agreed yet. I came here just because I want to I want to ask for your opinion. After all, you are Heinze’s nephew. Whatever happens to you, Heinze will consider it for your own sake. He also hopes that you can make your own decision.”
"Anyway, I don't want to go back to Bonta City. I have been in Anvilmar City for two years and I have long been accustomed to the life here. If I go back again, I will definitely not adapt!" Alex said loudly.
"Are you sure?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Alex, are you used to the busy work here every day? Or are you used to the feasting and luxurious life here?"
Alex was startled, looking at the smiling expression on Xu Yi's face, he trembled all over, lowered his head, and avoided Xu Yi's sight.
"Yes... Sir, I... I don't know what you are talking about."
"Don't know? Forget it if you don't know." Xu Yi shook his head gently, with a trace of regret in his eyes. "Anyway, you should think more about it these two days before I leave Anvilmar City. I hope you can make the right decision."
Xu Yi paused, then sighed, and said in a very sincere tone: "Alex, let me say it again, Heinze is an old friend and partner who has been working with me since I founded the Chamber of Commerce. You are his most cherished nephew. Although I am not much older than you, I always treat you as my own descendant, so no matter what you do wrong, Heinze and I will give you a chance. redeem.”
Alex was silent for a moment and then raised his head. Looking directly at Xu Yi: "President, I don't understand what you are talking about. If I have done something wrong, please tell me directly and I can correct it."
"Correction?" Seeing the look on Alex's face, Xu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Okay. Pretend I didn't say anything. It's so late, you go to bed."
Alex bowed to Xu Yi, turned around and left.
Looking at his back disappearing into the night, Xu Yi showed a wry smile.
"Heinze. I hope you won't blame me, an old friend, for being unkind."

Unlike the previous two years, this year's Magician's Guild qualification certification examination was finally carried out as scheduled as in previous years.
At this time, the city of Anvilmar was the same as in previous years. It was packed with magicians from all over.
Compared with previous years, the number of magicians who came to take the assessment this year has increased significantly, so that magicians wearing magic robes can be seen everywhere in the entire city of Anvilmar, as if the entire city of Anvilmar has turned into a Magic city.
If you pay more attention, you will find that among the magicians who came to take the assessment this year, the proportion of senior magicians seems to be much higher than in previous years.
In the past, because it was extremely difficult to upgrade the level of a senior magician, senior magicians would not come at all if they were not sure that they could pass the higher-level magician qualification examination.
But this year, there are many high-level magicians who obviously took part in the assessment last year, but they are here again this year.
This is really a very strange phenomenon, because only a short year has passed, and it is impossible for the vast majority of advanced magicians above level five to improve their magician level in such a short period of time.
So why do they come to take the assessment
"Don't you know this? Didn't you read what the "Anvilmar Daily" said? The New Flying Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City came up with a new rule two months ago, that is, magicians who intend to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce , you must have a Magician’s Guild Qualification Certificate issued by the Magician’s Guild within two years to prove that you have the corresponding magical strength.”
In a tavern opposite the Sheldon Hotel, a group of people were gathering together to talk. The person who said this was a middle-aged fat man in the crowd.
"Isn't it possible? How dare this Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be so arrogant?" After hearing what the middle-aged fat man said, some people around him showed disbelief. "Magicians are such noble people. Being willing to work in their chamber of commerce is enough to think highly of them. How dare they ask these noble magicians to prove their strength with qualification certificates? Could it be that those magicians Don’t you think this is humiliating them?”
"Tch—" the fat middle-aged man sneered. "In the face of a salary of tens or even hundreds of gold coins a month, nobility? Dignity? What is this? Can it be eaten?"
Everyone around was stunned.
"Ten or even hundreds of gold coins a month? So much?"
"That's right. This New Flying Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money, right? Any magician can offer a salary of dozens or even hundreds of gold coins a month? Then if hundreds of magicians are hired, wouldn't a month's salary be paid to these? The salaries of magicians are tens of thousands of gold coins?”
"Tens of thousands of gold coins?" The middle-aged fat man raised his head high, as proud as if he was the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. "You look down on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce too much. Do you know that a friend of mine who works at a Xinfei Chamber of Commerce told me that their Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now pays all employees a monthly salary, which adds up to more than 100,000 Gold coins!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
For ordinary people like them, one hundred thousand gold coins is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
But now, this new flying chamber of commerce actually pays more than 100,000 gold coins to its employees every month. This is really unimaginable.
"What? You don't believe it?" The fat middle-aged man pointed at the Shelton Hotel opposite the tavern. "Let me tell you, the magicians from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also come to participate in the qualification certification examination of the Magicians Guild this time. Do you know where they will live after they come?"
Everyone stared blankly at the magnificent Sheldon Hotel opposite. Although they had seen it all day long, they had never had the opportunity to stay in the Sheldon Hotel.
"No way, are you staying at the Sheldon Hotel?"
"Hey, you guessed it right. That friend of mine said..."
The middle-aged fat man just continued to brag about this "friend" when he noticed a commotion on the street around the corner. After a while, a line of more than ten square iron box-like monsters slowly came from the corner of the street. They drove over and parked in front of the Sheldon Hotel. )
