Xu Yi has lost count of how many times he has been asked by people if he is crazy.
Ever since he announced in public that he voluntarily gave up his aristocratic status at the high-level meeting of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, almost everyone who knew him well would ask such a question after meeting him.
Even those who are not very familiar with him, just know him, although they will not ask this directly in person, it can be easily seen from the expressions on their faces that they must think so in their hearts.
And when he decided to accept the countless proposals made by the Lord of Kamadu City, to cooperate in depth with the Kingdom's Magic Industry Administration, and to transfer a series of magic machinery-related technologies that are currently unique to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, don't say that Sevini scolded him. He was not crazy. Even the subordinates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, who had always admired him very much and would obey no matter what instructions he gave and executed them with all their strength, all cast doubtful eyes on him.
President, he... couldn't be really crazy, right
Otherwise, with the wisdom of the Chairman, how could he not see the serious consequences of agreeing to the Magic Industry Administration's proposal
It is no exaggeration to say that although the Magic Industry Administration's reminder this time is just to hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer part of its technology to the ten chambers of commerce they designated, it is conceivable that after this, the Administration will definitely make oversteps to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. There are more and more demands and even mandatory orders. And at that time, Xu Yi, who had lost his aristocratic status and also lost the two strong backings of Lampali XIII and Princess Sevigny, what would come from His Majesty King Eric, and the Lanpali people behind him? How can they compete with the will of the great nobles of the Parry Kingdom
To put it bluntly. Xu Yi agreed to this condition. It is tantamount to handing over the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to those greedy nobles!
This is something everyone can see. It's absolutely impossible for Xu Yi not to see it, so why would he do this
Among the people who are familiar with Xu Yi, except for a few people who do not understand but are not willing to question Xu Yi - such as Steele and the great magician Camilla, as well as some who completely blindly follow Xu Yi and absolutely do not People who would question him - such as Yanis and Vivian - were the only ones who understood and supported Xu Yi's approach, but they were not human beings.
"Actually, your choice is very wise. I don't understand why your subordinates have such big opinions."
Elder Elusia has been as beautiful as a girl for many years, and there is a hint of confusion on her face.
"Since the biggest pillar of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Lampali Kingdom has disappeared, of course it is impossible to develop as easily as before. Isn't it normal to choose to escape and find another way out?" Xu Yi shrugged and said with a smile: "There is an old saying in our hometown, which is that the beholder is clear and the authorities are confused. Elder Elusia, you are an elf, but it is easier for you to see some things in our human society clearly. On the contrary, you are an affiliate of our Chamber of Commerce. Gentlemen, because most of their own interests are closely related to the Chamber of Commerce, of course they will not be able to see the true meaning of my decision."
"Maybe that's the case." Elder Elusia nodded slightly, and then glanced at Xu Yi curiously. "You said that your subordinates are obsessed with the authorities. What about you? If it is related to the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, no one can compare with you, right? Why can you see so clearly and make decisions so simply? ? You are not an outsider anyway, right?"
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that he was not only an outsider compared to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also an outsider to the entire world.
This is a natural psychological advantage of being a time traveler, but it cannot be explained.
"Maybe my goal is much bigger than everyone imagined." Xu Yi smiled and gave a vague explanation, looked around, and continued: "It's better not to discuss this meaningless topic. Let’s talk about the business of my visit this time. The conditions proposed by Elder Elusia and the Lord of Kamadu City on behalf of the Kingdom Council, the Commerce Department and the Magic Industry Administration also include the Night Song Plastic Processing operated by your Night Song Tribe. Factory. Their request is that the various plastic processing technologies mastered by your Yege tribe need to be shared. What are your opinions on this request
"Impossible." Elder Elushia answered in a calm but extremely firm tone. "These technologies are unique to our Yege tribe, and we can never hand them over to them so easily."
Xu Yi smiled, as expected.
"Well, according to the Magic Industry Administration's message conveyed by Lord Kamadu, since Yege Plastic Processing Factory is unwilling to share plastic processing technology, then Yege Plastic Processing Factory will be regarded as not being integrated with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. According to the relevant regulations of the Kingdom’s Parliament, the Yege Plastic Processing Factory will no longer be recognized by the Kingdom’s Commerce Department because it does not contain any human components and must be dismantled within a limited period.”
"Where is the fertilizer processing plant of the Moon Shadow Tribe?" Elder Elushia asked.
"It's handled in the same way."
"You greedy humans are still as greedy as ever." There was a hint of ridicule in the smile on Elder Elusia's lips. "No wonder, President Xu, you informed us in advance to prepare for the relocation. It turns out that you have anticipated the reaction of those humans."
"I'm just preparing for a rainy day." Xu Yidao. "In short, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can hardly protect itself now. Of course you must be prepared in advance."
"Well, the preparations are not difficult. But..." Elder Elusia frowned slightly. "President Xu, are you sure you want us all to go into the Black Rice Wasteland and create another factory? After all, that is the territory of the orcs, so I'm afraid it's not very convenient. In my opinion, it's better to just build the factory in the Forest of Falling Rain. Humans still can’t enter here to harass us.”
"But it's not easy for you to go out, isn't it?" Xu Yi asked. "Elder Elusia, I think you should now understand the importance of transportation for industrial development. It is safe in the Forest of Falling Rain, but because the transportation is too inconvenient, it will greatly hinder the transportation of goods and the delivery of raw materials. It is extremely detrimental to the development of the factory.”
Elder Elusia thought for a while. Nod slightly.
"That's true. I chose Falling Rain Forest to settle in before. It was because it was extremely inconvenient for humans to enter and exit, and I wouldn't be easily harassed by humans here. Now it seems that it is a disadvantage."
"In addition to the traffic problem, there is another very important factor, that is, plastic processing plants will always develop and grow. You will not be satisfied with just one plastic processing plant, right? In the Forest of Falling Rain, because Due to terrain restrictions, development prospects will inevitably be limited. "This is a very real problem."
"Well, I must admit that in this regard, you have much more experience than I do, and you have much more long-term thinking." Elder Elusia thought about it for a moment, nodded: "Okay, I will let Amu Luo De went to the Black Rice Wasteland to find a suitable place to rebuild the plastic processing factory. However, if he moved to the Black Rice Wasteland and transported the plastic products to Bangta City, wouldn't the transportation cost be high because of the long distance. A lot?"
"That's easy. Just add this cost to the price." Xu Yi said with a smile.
Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "President Xu, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic machinery uses a lot of plastic components."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi shrugged. "You just need to treat everyone equally. As for the cost pressure caused by the rising prices of plastic parts... anyway, it is not our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who will feel it."
Elder Elusia glanced doubtfully at Xu Yi, who seemed to be gloating about his misfortune. I don't understand why he always seems so relaxed.
After confirming the relocation of Yege Plastic Processing Factory, Xu Yi made another request to Elder Elusia.
Because Xu Yi gave up his status as a noble, Xu Yi's private territory of Falling Rain Valley was taken back by the Parliament of Nobles, and the previously nominally formed Falling Rain Valley Guards composed of elves and dwarves disappeared.
There were originally two hundred dwarf warriors and one hundred and fifty elf warriors in this escort. Now that the name of the escort has disappeared, the two dwarf warriors have neatly chosen to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort, and those One hundred and fifty elven warriors still upheld the unique arrogance of the elves and did not make the same choice.
Xu Yi's request to Elder Elushia was naturally not that he wanted these 150 elven warriors to also join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team, but that they would become the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's base in the Black Rice Wasteland.
In name only, since the Yege Plastic Processing Factory is about to move to that base, these 150 elven warriors can be regarded as the guards of the Yege Plastic Processing Factory.
As for the work of protecting the entire base, it can be regarded as incidental.
After listening to Xu Yi's explanation in several circles, Elder Elusia suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Yi was suddenly stunned: "Elder Elusia, what's so funny about this? I racked my brains to come up with this plan for the dignity of those elven warriors. Do you accept it or not?"
Elder Elusia smiled like a flower, glanced at Xu Yi and said: "Actually, President Xu, you don't need to put in so much effort at all. I think... even if you want them to become your personal guards now, they will not refuse. ”
"How is this possible!" Xu Yi looked in disbelief. "I have tried so hard to get them to join our Chamber of Commerce escort team before, but they have never agreed. Yanis also told me that this is simply impossible because it goes against the principles of the elves. Since they If you are not even willing to join the Chamber of Commerce’s escort team, how can you become my personal guard?”
"Because there is a difference between you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Elder Elusia said with a smile. "The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a human chamber of commerce. Naturally, it will not be fully recognized by us elves. If you join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team, it will be regarded as working for humans. This of course goes against the principles of our elves."
"Wouldn't it be more contrary to this principle to become my personal guard? I am a human being." Xu Yi said in surprise.
"This is different." Elder Elusia shook her head. "Although you are a human, you have been recognized by our entire clan because of the water source problem of our clan. Our Yege clan will not treat you as an ordinary human being, but can completely treat you as a human being." Being one of us is not something that is difficult for the warriors in the tribe to accept."
Xu Yi blinked: "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple." Elder Elusia nodded and smiled: "President Xu, I think you have never asked Furion and the others if they are willing to be your personal guard, right?"
"Indeed not." Xu Yi shook his head. "I always thought they would never accept it, so I didn't even think to ask."
"Well, you can ask now. I think Falio and the others will be very happy."
After receiving the encouragement from Elder Elusia, Xu Yi suddenly became excited.
