"I heard that you met with the presidents of six chambers of commerce that produce magic fans?"
"Yes."
"Then I guess in addition to them, do you also plan to meet with a few selected presidents of chambers of commerce that produce other household magic machines?"
"There is a plan."
"Are you really planning to take these chambers of commerce into the markets of other countries?"
"I've always done this, you should know this very well."
"Um."
Sevini nodded slightly, stopped asking, lowered his head and wrote something on the table.
For a moment, Nuo Da's room fell into silence.
Xu Yi looked at Sevini who was writing seriously at the desk and found that she was obviously thinner than the last time they met.
Originally, her face was slightly rounded. Although she was not absolutely beautiful, she made people feel friendly when they saw her.
Now that I have lost some weight, my face has become a little bit sharper, but from the appearance point of view, it is a little more beautiful than before.
It's just that this somewhat destroyed her original gentle and gentle temperament. Coupled with her calm and self-defeating expression, she looked much more majestic than before, and she no longer felt particularly friendly.
This is actually not difficult to understand. Of course, in front of Xu Yi, Sevini still acted very relaxed and natural as before, and Xu Yi still called her by her first name in private most of the time as before.
After a while, Sevini stopped writing, picked up the written piece of paper and handed it to Xu Yi.
"What do you think?"
Xu Yi took it and took a look at it strangely, and found that it was a decree.
The content of the decree is from Sevigny in the name of Her Majesty the Queen. The Lampali Kingdom Magic Industry Management Agency is instructed to provide more support for the technology research and development of various magic industry chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom, so as to encourage these chambers of commerce to invest more in the research and development of magic machinery-related technologies.
Moreover, Sevigny also specially allocated 50,000 gold coins in his own name from the royal income. Establish a Lampali Kingdom Magic Industry Technology Progress Award to reward chambers of commerce or individuals who have made breakthroughs in magic machinery-related technologies.
Xu Yi read this decree. After pondering for a while, he said: "Fifty thousand gold coins... seems a bit too little, right?" "Then... why don't I take some money out and strengthen the rewards?" Xu Yi suggested.
Sevini shook his head: "No, this is an award officially established by our Kingdom of Lampali. The participation of a private chamber of commerce like your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will destroy the nature of this award and is not suitable."
Xu Yi thought about it and suggested: "Then I will also set up a technological progress award in the name of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce..."
Sevini didn't wait for a reply. He shook his head and rejected the idea.
"No, they are all engaged in the magic industry. Although our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has an advantage, doing this will still cause dissatisfaction from other chambers of commerce, and I am afraid the effect will not be good."
Sevini smiled: "As long as you understand. In fact, you don't have to think so much. What you are doing now is very good. If these chambers of commerce can be made to understand that as long as they are willing to invest in technology research and development, they can gain With your support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I think all chambers of commerce will attach great importance to technology research and development."
Xu Yi laughed: "That's right. When it comes to understanding businessmen, I know it better than anyone else. Except for interests, nothing can really impress businessmen."…
Sevini took a deep look at Xu Yi. Suddenly he sighed softly: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet."
Xu Yi was startled: "Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"
"Thank you for finding a new development path for these chambers of commerce in the kingdom that are engaged in the magic industry, so that the kingdom can continue to develop at a high speed." Sevini said sternly. "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time. Our Lampali Kingdom is a small country after all. Now the magic industry is developing rapidly in the kingdom, but it will eventually be restricted by the kingdom and it will be difficult to achieve better development. Now you can Taking them out of our Lampali Kingdom will be the greatest help to the kingdom."
Xu Yi smiled softly, shook his head and said: "Even without me, these chambers of commerce will leave the Lampali Kingdom sooner or later. I just moved the time forward slightly, it's nothing."
"Without you, there wouldn't even be a magic industry, right?" Sevini said.
Xu Yi shrugged and said with a smile: "I'm talking about Sevini. With the relationship between us, we shouldn't say these polite words, right?"
"The relationship between us?" Sevini stared at Xu Yi with bright eyes. "Xu Yi, what do you think the relationship between us is?"
Looking at Sevini's serious eyes, Xu Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied calmly: "At least in my mind, I have always regarded you as my friend."
"Since we are friends, why do you always refuse to come to see me?" Sevigny asked. "If I hadn't written you a letter specifically this time, wouldn't you have come to Anvilmar City to see me?"
Xu Yi laughed dryly and avoided Sevini's gaze.
Sevigny was right. If Sevigny hadn't specially asked Count Revere to forward a private letter to him, he would have stayed in Bonta City for two days before returning to the Principality of Standing instead of Anvilmar City. Come.
Although the meeting with the presidents of the six chambers of commerce was also important, these matters did not actually require him, the president, to personally take action.
With the current status of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as one word is released, it is guaranteed that the presidents of these six chambers of commerce will even travel thousands of miles to the Principality of Standing to discuss with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing Xu Yi's evasive eyes, Sevini sighed softly.
"Actually, I know that. Do you think you must keep a distance from me now that I have taken over the throne?"
Xu Yi coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Sevini, and pondered for a moment. He said seriously: "There are indeed considerations in this regard. After all, you are Her Majesty the Queen of the Lampali Kingdom now, and you can no longer interact with other people without scruples like before. I am keeping a distance from you, but I am actually being careful. Protect our friendship. It might not be good if we get closer."
Sevini fell silent and looked at Xu Yi for a while. Nod slowly.
"I actually understand this. I represent the Lampali Kingdom, and you represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Although there is now very close cooperation between our Lampali Kingdom and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, both parties can maintain a very friendly relationship. Relationship. But no matter what, there will always be conflicts of interest. For example... there are many people in the kingdom who are opposed to continuing to establish a joint venture with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
"Against joint ventures?" A trace of ridicule flashed across Xu Yi's face. "You mean to drive our New Flying Chamber of Commerce out of the Lampali Kingdom, and they can do it themselves? But these guys have never thought that without our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, in fact, the Lampali Kingdom would not even be able to produce more than Category 5 magic machines?”
"I know this very well, but those people don't understand." Sevini sighed. He looked slightly tired. "I am the queen of the Lampali Kingdom, and I must consider the interests of the kingdom. Choosing to continue to jointly establish a factory with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, in the eyes of those people, is betraying the interests of the kingdom."…
Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer: "Hey, it doesn't matter if you don't have to think about these idiots' ideas."
Sevini smiled bitterly: "The problem is that these idiots you call represent a large part of the people in the kingdom."
Xu Yi looked at Sevini intently for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the fatigue in her expression.
In fact, Sevini is not yet twenty-five years old this year, but now he has to bear such an important responsibility for the entire Lampali Kingdom. However, the other members of the Lampali royal family were so dead and living in seclusion that no one could help her. She can only bear it alone.
"Actually, there is no need to worry. As long as the kingdom continues to develop, no one in the entire kingdom will dare to really oppose me." Sevini suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the look on his face was full of majesty again, and his whole person seemed to be inviolable. "If there are people who don't care about the overall situation, I don't mind them being taught a lesson."
Xu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
In the past, Sevini rarely showed such a fierce look.
Sure enough, after sitting on the throne for a long time, will it naturally become like this
But this is a good change for Sevigny.
If she is still as gentle as before, then sitting on the throne may not be a good thing.
Turning his head, he saw a slight surprise on Xu Yi's face. Sevini suddenly burst into laughter, her face blooming like a flower. Instantly filled with sunshine.
As if all of a sudden, she changed from the majestic and murderous queen she was before. She became like an ordinary girl next door.
Seeing her rapid transformation, Xu Yi was amazed, thinking that no matter what time, women were existences that he could not understand.
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi and suddenly pressed a button next to his hand.
After a while, two palace maids came in carrying some late-night snacks and food.
Xu Yi looked out the window in shock and found that it was still dark at this time.
In the afternoon, he met with several people who had made appointments in advance in the city of Anvilmar, and then accepted Sevigny's invitation to enter the palace after dinner. The two chatted for a while, but they didn't expect it to be so dark.
Xu Yi quickly stood up to leave, but Sevini pulled his arm and motioned for him to sit down.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, would you like to chat with me for a while before we leave?"
Seeing the hint of pleading in Sevigny's eyes, and thinking of Sevigny talking about the relationship between the two just now, Xu Yi felt soft, nodded and sat down again.
Sevini immediately showed a hint of joy, waved his hand, and signaled the two maids to go out, then poured a glass of wine for Xu Yi himself, poured it for himself, and raised the glass to Xu Yi.
"Come on, Xu Yi, how about we forget each other's identities tonight and just have a chat between friends?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, it's rare that you are interested, how can I not accompany you?"
The two clinked their wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
Xu Yi didn't think anything was wrong, but Sevini's pretty face immediately turned slightly red, making her look like she was too drunk, but it also made her face less majestic and more charming.
"Xu Yi, do you still remember the first time we met?" Sevini asked softly.
"Of course I remember." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "At that time, it was the first time I came to Anvilmar City, planning to sell farmland magic machinery..."
…
The night was dark and the wine was fragrant. The two of them were sipping, thinking about the past, and chatting slowly.
I don't know whether it was because the wine was intoxicating or because the past was intoxicating. As he drank, Xu Yi felt dizzy. After a while, he was so soft that he fell on the chair and stopped moving like mud.
Looking at Xu Yi, who was falling asleep across from him, Sevini, who should have also been intoxicated, suddenly lit up his eyes. Although his face was still pretty and rosy, he was not drunk at all.
After looking at Xu Yi with a complicated expression for a while, Sevini clapped her hands gently, and the two maids from before walked in.
"Move him into the bedroom and follow the plan."
