The subject of the conversation between the two was actually a transaction.
After receiving the news that His Royal Highness Prince Eric took over as the King of Lampali Kingdom, Xu Yi proposed to Earl Willon that he would like to rent an additional piece of land from his name to expand the new farm and prepare for the transfer. Used by various chambers of commerce, factories, workshops and research institutions.
At first, Earl Weilun was very cheerful and agreed to provide the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with another piece of land of the same size as before, which was about 100,000 hectares.
Moreover, Earl Weilun even generously agreed that Xu Yi could choose any land under his name to rent. In this way, according to Xu Yi's plan, the two pieces of land could be connected, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would own a very large piece of land in the Principality of Standing. As a base, no matter how you want to develop, there will be no problem.
However, as the situation within the Lampali Kingdom changed, the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually became a little unfavorable on the surface, so Earl Willen's previously cheerful and generous attitude also became subtle.
Regarding Xu [No] [Wrong] 3.s.'s request to lease land, Earl Willon kept delaying it and was no longer as forthcoming as before.
After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was announced by the Magic Industry Administration of the Kingdom of Lampali to ban the production of any magic machinery in the Kingdom of Lampali, Earl Weilon's attitude suddenly changed dramatically, and his attitude towards Xu Yi became extremely tough. It wasn't that he didn't want to lease the land to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all, but he took the opportunity to ask for a sky-high price.
It is also a land of 100,000 hectares. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce rented that piece of land, the annual rent was only 300,000 gold coins. But now when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce asked to rent another 100,000 hectares of land, Earl Weilun actually increased the rent. Zi raised an astonishing one million gold coins!
It has actually increased by more than three times!
Xu Yi was of course unwilling to agree to Earl Weilun's request. As a result, the negotiations between the two parties reached a deadlock.
within these few months. Xu Yi negotiated several more times with Earl Weilun on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But never achieved satisfactory results.
Today, for some unknown reason, after learning that Xu Yi had come to attend Archie and Leya's wedding, Earl Willon actually came to attend the wedding and took the initiative to find Xu Yi and mentioned the matter again.
However, just like the previous negotiations, Count Willen still insisted on the sky-high rent of one million gold coins and refused to let go.
This made Xu Yi a little annoyed.
Since you are not going to give in, why do you take the initiative to negotiate with yourself
Seriously speaking, although Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs to open up a new base. There is an urgent need for land, and Xu Yi feels that the most suitable place is here in the Principality of Standing. However, the development of the Black Rice Wasteland by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already on the right track. If he really can't reach an agreement with Count Weilun, Xu Yi can The factory workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that occupy a lot of land will be relocated to Heimi Wasteland, but it does not necessarily have to be expanded here. Earl Weilun's attitude has been very tough during this period, and Xu Yi has already made follow-up preparations, which is not as urgent as before.
Under this situation, Earl Weilun still had such an attitude, and Xu Yiran felt very unhappy.
"Earl Wei Lun. I have said countless times that it is impossible for our Chamber of Commerce to accept this price." Thinking that he is still on the other side's territory after all. Xu Yi reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Furthermore, our Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot this year. It is not a wise choice to suddenly spend one million gold coins to rent land that is not yet used."
Earl Weilun glanced sideways at Xu Yi, and said with a smile: "Of course I know that your Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot this year. After all, you have to rebuild factory bases everywhere. I understand. But President Xu, the reason why I am here today I took the initiative to find you because I thought of another solution. "...
"Oh? What can I do?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"President Xu, you said that it is difficult for your Chamber of Commerce to come up with one million gold coins in cash all at once because of too much other investments. I understand this. But the transaction between us does not have to be completed in cash. ” Count Willen narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"No need for cash?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, glanced at Earl Weilun, and saw his fat face that always showed an obvious greed, and he understood something in his heart. "what do you want?"
"Hehe, President Xu is indeed a smart man." Earl Weilun smiled so that the fat on his face shook, and continued: "Actually, compared to cash, I am more interested in other things, such as those unique items of your Chamber of Commerce. Technology… "
Xu Yi was really surprised now.
He never expected that what Count Weilun was eyeing was actually a technology mastered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
When Xu Yi made any transactions with him before, his mind was filled with gold coins and he never asked for anything else.
Why is he suddenly concerned about technology now
Could it be that he was stimulated by something
"This... let me ask first, Count Weilun, what kind of technology are you talking about?" Xu Yi asked.
"Of course it's the production technology of those magic machines." Count Willen said matter-of-factly. "There are so many chambers of commerce in your Lampali Kingdom that have made a fortune relying on the technology transferred by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so I am also very interested in them now."
"That is to say... you also want to invest in the establishment of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked again.
"Absolutely." Earl Willon nodded. "
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
It's not that strange that Count Willen would come up with this idea. After all, if the business is run well, mastering the technology to produce magic machinery is obviously more attractive than simply collecting rent.
However, Xu Yi could not connect Count Weilun with the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce no matter what, and he could not even connect the entire country of the Principality of Standing with the production of magic machines.
The reason is very simple, the people here are just too lazy.
Xinfei Farm employs many locals, but compared with the Lampali people who moved from Bangta City, these locals are incredibly lazy, and their work efficiency is not even one-fifth of the Lampali people. arrive.
If it weren't for the concern about the relationship with Earl Willon and conveying a friendly attitude to the locals. Xu Yi may have kicked out all these local workers long ago.
Now Count Willen actually wants to establish a chamber of commerce that produces magic machinery. Even Xu Yi gave him the technology. If you give him equipment, he will definitely be able to hire local workers.
And relying on the astonishingly low work efficiency of local workers, what future can such a factory have
Of course, Xu Yi would never say these words. He just smiled and asked again: "Okay, Count Weilun, which technology are you specifically interested in?"
"Well... first of all, it's a canned fruit factory. I want to start one myself. Don't worry, President Xu, I'm not trying to compete with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for business. The canned fruits produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are far from ours. There is no conflict between us about all kinds of fruits in the Principality of Standing." Earl Willen said.
"Hmm...what else?" Xu Yi was noncommittal.
"In addition, I am also very interested in the production technology of several household magic machines. The most interesting ones are the production technology of magic refrigerators, magic freezers and magic air conditioners. As you know, we in the Principality of Standing are always busy all year round. It’s hot part of the time and these things are very popular here. ”
Xu Yi felt a little funny in his heart.
From a climate perspective, the Principality of Standing is indeed very suitable for these household magic machines.
But if you look at the consumption level, the Principality of Standing is far from qualified.
The Principality of Standing is a country where the gap between rich and poor is much larger than that of the Kingdom of Lampali, except for lords like Earl Willen. Most of them are civilians who are so poor that they barely have a few clothes, and there are even slaves that far exceed those in the Lampali Kingdom.
such a market environment. How could it be possible to sell so many household magic machines
You know, even the cheapest magic freezer currently costs at least twenty gold coins.
Although Xu Yi didn't know the specific data, he was sure that at least 98% of the people in Standing Principality couldn't afford the cheapest magic freezer.
Of course, Xu Yi still would not tell Count Weilun these words, but just nodded with a smile: "This is a good idea. Then Count Weilun, it is not impossible for us to transfer technology, but the technology transfer fee is not cheap..."
Earl Weilun extended a fat finger to Xu Yi.
"How about one year's rent of 10,000 hectares of land in exchange for a piece of technology?"
Xu Yi was startled for a moment, and then he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
Count Weilun's previous offer to Xu Yi was a rent of one million gold coins per year for 100,000 hectares of land. If calculated according to Count Weilun's current conversion ratio, it would be equivalent to his wish to purchase an item with an average of 100,000 gold coins. technology.
The technology transfer fees that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has transferred so far are more than 100,000 gold coins, and some even exceed 200,000 gold coins.
Earl Weilon obviously knows something about this, so he feels that his current offer is very suitable.
If Xu Yi agrees, he will make a lot of money based on technology transfer fees.
But for Xu Yi, he had even transferred many technologies related to household magic machines to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration for almost free, and he had even transferred them to many chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom before. So in fact, these related technologies are not a big secret at present, and Xu Yi doesn't attach much importance to them.
With the theoretical knowledge of posthumous machinery brought by Xu Yi from the earth, and the powerful research resources of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will inevitably emerge in the future with new magical machines that far exceed the existing technology.
In Xu Yi's opinion, these technologies are not worth mentioning at all.
If they are used in exchange for the land that is currently urgently needed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will obviously make a lot of money.
Xu Yi deliberately frowned and pondered for a long time, then put on an extremely embarrassed look, spent a while with Count Willen, and then pretended to be helpless and agreed to the condition.
After the deal was completed, Earl Weilun was in a very happy mood. After several months, he once again grabbed Xu Yi's hand with his fat hand and shook it vigorously. He laughed and said: "Very good, President Xu, we need to cooperate in the future." There are more places, and I hope we can continue to cooperate happily. ”
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Definitely."
Earl Wei Lun rolled his eyes, suddenly moved a little closer to Xu Yi, and asked in a low voice: "President Xu, your business has the technology of those military magic machines..."
"Impossible." Xu Yi interrupted him directly and said categorically: "The technical relationship in this area is too great, and it is impossible for our Chamber of Commerce to transfer it to anyone."
"Hmm... It should, it should..." Earl Weilun nodded repeatedly, and then asked: "So... President Xu... Technology aside, I will buy some military magic machinery from your chamber of commerce... Is this no problem? No. Few words"
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Count Weilun, feeling a little strange.
Count Willen is forcing himself on the road of no return as an arms dealer...
