Xu Yi's eyes moved away from the letter with a hint of fragrance in his hand and fell on the face of the messenger opposite.
"Please tell Your Highness the Princess for me that it is impossible to transfer technology related to military magic machinery, at least at this stage."
An expression of extreme disappointment immediately appeared on the messenger's face.
"That's such a pity. President Xu, the Grand Duke and His Royal Highness the Princess have all promised that as long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to transfer some of the relevant technologies of military magic machinery to our Duke of Drake, our Principality of Drake will follow your expectations, President Xu. , give the maximum support to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, and our Dukedom of Drake will fully open the market to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and work hard to help your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promote its products to more other countries with such favorable conditions. , It’s just in exchange for some technology, why doesn’t Chairman Xu agree?”
"The time is not yet ripe." Xu Yi shook his head. "But Your Highness the Princess, don't be too disappointed. Although the technology related to military magic;; +. force machinery is not yet available to the Duke of Drake, I can agree to your Highness the Princess's proposal to transfer part of my Sewell City to the Principality of Drake. The technical staff of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce moved to the Principality of Drake and established a military magic machinery factory in the Principality of Drake." The messenger's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
"That's right." Xu Yi nodded. "In addition to the military magic machinery factory, our Chamber of Commerce will also establish a series of other magic machinery factories in the Principality of Drake, striving to create a production base with a complete system in the Principality of Drake. Of course, this also requires your country's 's consent.
"No problem! No problem!" The messenger nodded repeatedly. "The Grand Duke and His Royal Highness the Princess will definitely agree to your proposal, President Xu."
"That's good." Xu Yi smiled slightly.
After seeing off the envoy sent by the Principality of Drake, Kennard, who had been listening, frowned and said to Xu Yi: "Mr. President, we have no way to affect the Principality of Drake now. If we really establish various factory. If the Principality of Drake wants to steal the relevant technology, we have no way at all. "
"If they are so short-sighted, then let them be." Xu Yi smiled. “I think it’s quite cost-effective to use some technologies that are about to be obsolete to measure whether a partner is worthy of attention.”
Kennard couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The so-called "technologies that are about to be eliminated" in Xu Yi's words are still like treasures in the eyes of countless people, and how many people want to get them even if they risk their lives. For example, the Sac Kingdom, which has always been eyeing the Lampali Kingdom, the Luersun Kingdom, which is currently in full cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the large and small lords in the Principality of Standing.
"By the way. Speaking of the demand for military magic machinery-related technologies, Lord Wei Lun has been making similar requests to us for a while. President, how are you going to reply to him?" Kennard asked.
The corners of Xu Yi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.
"Does he really think that if I give him the technology, he can really build a qualified military magic machinery factory?"
Kennard immediately shook his head: "I don't think so. In addition to technology, Lord Weilun doesn't have any of the equally important industrial systems, technicians, or even skilled workers. Even if he has technology, I'm afraid he can't even do the simplest magic. We can’t even produce crossbows.”
After a pause, Kennard asked again: "So. Are you planning to transfer technology to Lord Wei Lun?"
"No. We must treat our partners equally. Since we do not intend to transfer this technology to the Principality of Drake, we cannot transfer it to Lord Weilun." Xu Yi shook his head. "Just tell Lord Wei Lun that since his territory borders us anyway, it is very convenient to purchase from our Chamber of Commerce. We can guarantee him that we will give him priority in supplying goods."…
Kennard frowned: "President, you just said that you should treat your partners equally, but now you say that you should give priority to supplying goods to Lord Weilun. I'm afraid this is not good... Besides, let's not care about other partners, even if they are only in Standing. In the principality, you will always give priority to Earl Ankru."
Xu Yi glanced at him and wanted to laugh.
"I said Kennard, fortunately you are from the Emma family, and have worked in the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and now you have worked in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for so long, how can you even do such a little bit of differential treatment in secret? Is it not good?".
Kennard could only roll his eyes again.
He just heard Xu Yi speak so righteously, as if he wanted to treat everyone fairly, so he thought along this line of thinking, but he didn't expect that Xu Yi suddenly changed his style.
"Okay, President, I understand what should be done." Kennard said helplessly. "But Mr. President, I also need to remind you that with the current production capacity of our Chamber of Commerce, if we give priority to Earl Ancru and Lord Weilon, and as you previously proposed, we must give priority to the needs of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny. Then there won’t be much left, and I’m afraid it won’t be able to meet the needs of the other lords and the Luersun Kingdom, and I’m afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction.”
"Dissatisfied?" Xu Yi snorted coldly. "If they are willing to be dissatisfied, then just go ahead and don't buy it if you can."
Kennard laughed, thinking that even though the president always looks gentle, when he becomes unreasonable, he is more domineering than anyone else.
However, although Xu Yi's words were domineering, the problem of insufficient production capacity of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is real and cannot be avoided.
This problem has existed since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi has been thinking of ways to solve it.
However, it is not that easy to start a magic industry from scratch. Whether it is technology research and development, system improvement, or even the training of the most basic technical workers, it takes a lot of time and investment.
Although with Xu Yi's strong attention, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has initially established a fairly complete basic magic industry system, neither technical R&D personnel nor ordinary technical workers are currently able to meet the demand.
What's more, due to the vigorous promotion of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the demand for various magic machines in the surrounding countries is increasing rapidly, and the growth rate of Xinfei merchants' production capacity is becoming increasingly insufficient.
This problem is already very serious when it comes to household magic machines, and it is even more troublesome when it comes to military magic machines.
After the two discussed this issue for a while, Kennard thought about it and suggested: "Master President, why don't we recruit some more people from the Lampali Kingdom? It's a lot of words."
"I'm afraid this is unrealistic." Xu Yi frowned. "The Lampali Kingdom is already on guard against us, and we can't promote it within the kingdom. And there aren't really that many people in the kingdom who are willing to leave their hometowns to work in our chamber of commerce."
"It's different now than it was before." Kennard shook his head. "The situation within the kingdom is so tense. Duke Stark has no energy or time to take care of us. In fact, ordinary civilians in the kingdom have long been very worried about the situation in the kingdom. Now let them leave the Lampali Kingdom. Finding a comfortable and well-paid job in our chamber of commerce is very attractive to most people.”
"Well... that makes sense." Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "In this case, we can consider recruiting more workers in the Lampali Kingdom. The most ideal situation is to be able to recruit those ten chambers of commerce All the technical staff came over.”…
Kennard smiled slightly: "President, our Emma family can also help in this regard."
Xu Yi glanced at Kennard unexpectedly.
Although Kennard was born in the Emma family, after working with him for so long, he rarely mentioned matters about the Emma family in front of him.
Now that I suddenly mentioned it, it must have been the intention of the Emma family to reveal it through Kennard.
In addition to the Emma family wanting to deepen their ties with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is probably another more important reason, which is because the Emma family is also a supporter of Sevigny.
Now the situation in the Lampali Kingdom has reached a tipping point. Nobles of all sizes in the kingdom, and even businessmen, have begun to express their stance.
The Emma family had supported Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny in the past, but because Sevigny voluntarily gave up the fight for the throne, they did not do anything practical.
Now that Sevigny has publicly convicted Duke Stark, questioned Prince William's right to inherit the throne, and revealed his willingness to fight for the throne, many people in the Kingdom of Lampali who had previously supported Sevigny jumped. Come out and show your support.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi nodded to Kennard simply: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
Kennard smiled and was about to say something else when a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
The two turned their heads in shock and immediately heard a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Hart, the human guard captain of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, strode in.
After bowing to Xu Yi and Kennard, Hart said in a deep voice: "Mr. President, we caught a group of guys who sneaked over from Lord Weilun's territory. How should we deal with them?"
Xu Yi and Kennard were both stunned.
"Sneaking away from Lord Weilun's territory? The two territories are so close to each other. Isn't it normal for them to come and wander around? What do you mean by sneaking away? Why are you arresting them? Just let them go back." Kennard couldn't bear it. asked.
"It's different." Hart shook his head: "These guys came here not just to hang around, but to settle in our territory."
"settle down?"
Xu Yi and Kennard looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
