"Two hundred thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi glanced at King Trutz in surprise, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty the King, you are really generous. Of course, Ambassador Hakanin's appetite is really big. ”
"He has always had a big appetite." King Trutz smiled. "But this time, I am doing this two hundred thousand gold coins entirely for you."
"For me?" Xu Yi was even more surprised. "Your Majesty the King, I probably don't have that much dignity... It's worth spending a full 200,000 gold coins to resolve this matter."
"Two hundred thousand gold coins may be a lot to others, but is it a lot to you?" King Trutz gave Xu Yi a meaningful look. "President Xu, if my estimate is not wrong, the profit of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year must have exceeded five million level gold coins at least, right? That's a lot of words."
Xu Yi smiled slightly and did not deny it.
"I admit that the profits of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce are pretty good, but we also spend a lot. And... His Majesty the King, what does this have to do with your (no) (wrong) 3.. willingness to spend two hundred thousand gold coins for this? "
King Trutz shook his head: "President Xu, I don't think we should waste time talking nonsense here. Since you want me to show my sincerity, I have shown it now. Although two hundred thousand gold coins It may not be much for you, but for me, or even for our Luersun Kingdom, it is not a number that can be thrown out casually. I have shown my sincerity enough, what about you, President Xu? "Xu Yi was a little surprised.
Although from the information Kennard had collected about King Trutz and some observations of the Luersun Kingdom, Xu also inferred that King Trutz was a very idealistic and ambitious man. A more visionary king. That's why I deliberately took the opportunity to cause such a thing. I just want to test the attitude of King Trutz and the entire Luersun Kingdom towards the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
But Xu Yi never expected that King Trutz would show his attitude to Xu Yi so directly and straightforwardly.
As King Trutz said, in this matter, he paid a price of 200,000 gold coins to calm Ambassador Hakanin's anger, which indeed showed a very high level of sincerity to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, put away his smile, nodded to King Trutz, and said seriously: "Your Majesty the King. I must say that your attitude surprised me. In fact, I came here with a very uneasy mood. Come, because I'm not sure what's going on in your mind."
"Then you understand now?" King Trutz smiled.
"Yes. I am a businessman, so from these two hundred thousand gold coins, I can feel your sincerity very intuitively. Obviously, I must respond accordingly to your sincerity." Xu Yi paused After a pause, he asked: "Your Majesty the King, please put forward your idea, or directly state your request." "What if I ask you for relevant technology of military magic machinery?" King Trutz asked with a smile.
"That's impossible." Xu Yi shook his head firmly. "It is currently impossible for us to transfer technology in this area, and there is no room for negotiation on this point."
"Yeah?". King Trutz snorted slightly. "President Xu. Don't forget, you are in my palace now. As long as I give the order, I can easily arrest you. Do you think it is possible to exchange your life for the technology related to military magic machinery? ?".
"Impossible." Xu Yi did not look threatened by these words at all. Instead, he smiled relaxedly and said: "Your Majesty the King, you will not do this, because your real expectations are far more than It’s something as simple as the technology of some military magic machines.”…
"Do you think you know me well?". King Trutz narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "President Xu, don't underestimate your own value. In my opinion, the value contained in you alone is even greater than the two armies of our kingdom." Much more.”
"Oh? I really want to thank His Majesty the King for your attention." Xu Yi smiled and said: "But because of this, you will not threaten me with your life, right?".
King Trutz snorted: "You are right. You are far more useful alive than dead. At least I don't want you to die before I have squeezed out all the value contained in you."
Xu Yi laughed and spread his hands: "Okay, I'm here now. Your Majesty the King, how do you want to squeeze out my value?"
King Trutz looked at Xu Yi, put a smile on his face again, shook his head slightly and said: "Sure enough, we can't treat you as an ordinary businessman. Well, let's stop talking nonsense and talk about business. Xu President, regarding the two cooperation projects proposed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I agree here on behalf of the Luersun Kingdom, but the specific details need to be renegotiated. "
"Thank you for your agreement. But Your Majesty, what are the main details that you need to discuss?"
"It is up to your chamber of commerce to discuss the specific details with the relevant departments of the Kingdom. I will only give you a general idea here."
Xu Yi nodded: "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"First of all, it's about renting the port in Nixi City. Your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce requires a long-term lease, which is no problem, but you require that the leased port can only park ships of your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. I don't agree with this."
"Oh? Why?" Xu Yi asked.
"Because that's the territory of our Luersun Kingdom, do you understand what I mean?". King Trutz said in a deep voice.
Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "I understand, Your Majesty, you think that following the requirements of our Chamber of Commerce will make the port lose its sovereignty, right?".
"As long as you understand."
"Then what do you mean, Your Majesty?" Xu Yi asked again. "If it is just used as an ordinary port, then I think our Chamber of Commerce does not need to specifically ask you to rent it, don't you think so?"
"Of course, you will still be given some privileges to your New Flying Chamber of Commerce." King Trutz said: "I will specially approve a few ports in Nixi City to allow your New Flying Chamber of Commerce's ships to dock first, but the ships of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be given priority. When you are away, other ships can still dock. Then your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs to pay a certain management fee every year. "What do you think?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Then what if our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce ship arrives at the port and finds that other ships have already docked at the port?"
"This is simple, you just need to notify in advance." King Trutz waved his hand. "These are all details. You go discuss it with the Lord's Palace of Nixi City. I just put forward my request, and you can negotiate the rest by yourselves."
Xu Yi thought about it for a while. Although he felt that this plan was not perfect, it was acceptable and he nodded.
"Then let's do it. Our Chamber of Commerce will abide by your Majesty's wishes and negotiate with the Lord of Nixi City. So, Your Majesty, what instructions do you have regarding the second cooperation project?"
"The second cooperation project... I don't have any objections to this cooperation project itself, but President Xu, I have some different ideas about the method chosen by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh? Is there anything your Majesty is dissatisfied with the current way of cooperation?".
"It's not even dissatisfied. Your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has invested in the construction of seventeen magic machinery factories in our Luersun Kingdom so far, and has recruited a total of 6,423 people in this year. Our local workers in the Kingdom of Luersun have made significant contributions to solving the work problems of the people of the Kingdom and improving their living conditions. I am very satisfied with this.”…
Xu Yi chuckled and said: "Thank you for your high praise, Your Majesty, but this is just what we should do, and it does not deserve your special praise."
"Before your New Flying Chamber of Commerce came, none of these things existed." King Trutz shook his head. "If you hadn't seen the changes that the arrival of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce has brought to our kingdom, do you think you would have a chance to stand here and talk to me today?".
"If I didn't have this value, I wouldn't be here today, right?" Xu Yi asked back with a smile.
King Trutz laughed: "President Xu, you are indeed different from ordinary businessmen. Well, I will never deny the value of you. I appreciate the value of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even more, but President Xu, don't you think... you Is the New Flying Chamber of Commerce taking too slow and cautious steps in our Luersun Kingdom?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
King Trutz waved his hand: "My point is very simple. Our Luersun Kingdom is not the Lampali Kingdom, and I am not the old Lampali Thirteen before your Lampali Kingdom or the current one. "Eric, you don't need to have the same scruples about our Luersun Kingdom because of what happened in the Lampali Kingdom."
Xu Yi smiled and said nothing.
In fact, King Trutz was right. It was precisely because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was repeatedly suppressed in the Lampali Kingdom that Xu Yi became more cautious when he extended the tentacles of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Luersun Kingdom. Be careful and no longer invest in building factories everywhere like you did in the Lampali Kingdom two years ago. What you are worried about is what will happen to the Luersun Kingdom.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, King Trutz slowed down his voice and continued seriously: "President Xu, I know very well the value contained in you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I also know very well that the magic industry you represent can give a What influence and changes will the country bring? That's why I would rather risk offending Ambassador Hakanin and even the Kandra Empire to protect you. My attitude has been made so clear. What else do you need to worry about? ?”
Xu Yi was silent for a moment, then looked at King Trutz and asked softly: "Okay, Your Majesty, what specifically do you want me and our Chamber of Commerce to do?"
"It's very simple. Fully open to us the technologies related to various household magic machines, and assist our kingdom in cultivating talents in the magic industry, and promote the development of the magic industry in our kingdom. My goal is to bring the magic industry to our kingdom. Each city becomes as prosperous and wealthy as the city before it!”
Seeing the light shining in King Trutz's eyes and the strong confidence on his face, Xu Yi was speechless for a moment.
