Three days later, Marquis of Southgaard, Xu Yi and others returned to the Principality of Standing.
If the Marquis of Southgaard only had a leisurely attitude when he came here for the first time, then when he came here again this time, his goal was already quite clear.
After another detailed inspection of the automatic water supply system that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had basically rolled out in the Principality of Standing, he signed the first agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce without hesitation.
The content of this agreement is to introduce an automatic water supply system from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Malo Empire.
Of course, because this is only the first tentative cooperation, the scale of the agreement is not particularly large. The Marquis of Southgaard only hopes to introduce the automatic water supply system to the small town on his private property. The total coverage area is about That's less than five square kilometers. ,
According to estimates, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide five sets of magic water pumps to the Marquis of Southgaard, as well as supporting automatic water supply pipes, air valves and other facilities. The total transaction amount was finally determined to be 48,000 gold coins after negotiation between the two parties.
If the same agreement is signed with the Lampali Kingdom or the Luersun Kingdom, the total transaction amount will actually be two to three thousand gold coins lower than this price. The reason is that the Maro Empire is further away from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The cost of transporting and installing these magic water pump units and supporting equipment is much higher than that in the Lampali Kingdom and the Luersun Kingdom.
Therefore, although the price is higher, the profits earned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have actually dropped somewhat.
However, given that this is the first cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Southgaard, it can also be regarded as the first cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Malo Empire, and it represents extremely significant significance. Then it is normal to give some discounts.
And in fact, with the automatic magic machine tools being assembled on a large scale in various factories within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now the cost and time consumed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in producing most magic machines have been greatly reduced.
Even if some discounts are given. In fact, the profits gained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are much higher than those in the previous two years.
The automatic water supply system was something that the Marquis of Southgaard had already determined when he first came here, so naturally the two parties signed the agreement very smoothly.
But for the highways that Marquis of Southgaard also attached great importance to and the magic communication network that Xu Yi recommended to him this time, Marquis of Southgaard still made a detailed investigation before finally making up his mind.
It's just that the magic communication network is not bad. After all, the Marquis of Southgaard can continue to use his territory for experiments, so he also successfully signed an agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to introduce the magic communication network, involving a total amount of up to 70,000 yuan. An agreement for six thousand gold coins.
As for roads, the Marquis of Southgaard knew very well that just laying roads in his territory did not make much sense. Therefore, after a three-way meeting with Xu Yi and President Cruz, the representative of the Amri Chamber of Commerce, he decided to put it on hold for the time being. After he returned to the Malo Empire, he tried to persuade the Parliament of the Malo Empire to approve the construction of a road connecting the Falk Kingdom. and the road to Angelo City, the capital of the Malo Empire.
If nothing else goes wrong, when this road is successfully constructed, the road built by the Amri Chamber of Commerce in the Falk Kingdom will also be completed at the same time, which will connect both the Falk Kingdom and the Malo Empire to places that are now all over Saines. The road transportation network in these countries in the southwest of the mainland makes travel between the two sides extremely convenient.
The straight-line distance between Angelo City and the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is even more than three thousand kilometers. This time, Marquis Southgaide came all the way from Angelo City and only arrived at the unexpected Principality of Drake, which was more than 1,300 kilometers away. The main city of Felois has already spent nearly a month.
And when they arrived at the city of Ferois. When he went to Anwemar City, the capital of King Lampali, which was more than 800 kilometers away, he only spent a day on the road.
This is the huge difference between having roads and not having them.
If there could be a road leading directly to Angelo City. So the whole journey from Angelo City to the main base of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only takes a few days.
In addition to infrastructure, the Marquis of Southgaard had already experienced the convenience brought by various household magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce last time, so how could he let it go.
So this time he signed an agreement directly with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and planned to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build several household magic machinery assembly factories on his private property.
He even voluntarily gave up the two mines on his territory and decided to jointly mine with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and share various mineral resources.
But he also made a request, that is, these mineral resources could not flow out of the Malo Empire, so Xu Yi finally decided to join a joint venture with him to open a steelmaking plant and a non-ferrous metal smelting plant on his private land. These metal ores are smelted on site and then directly sent to various household magic machinery factories jointly owned by both parties for use.
According to the plan put forward by Marquis Southgaard, his ultimate goal is to copy the current model of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to his private domain, and turn his private property into something similar to the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. A "modern magic industrial base" like Bangta City.
This term was of course taught to him by Xu Yi.
"My Lord Marquis, I deeply admire your vision and magnanimity. At this point, I feel that you represent the attitude embodied by the Malo Empire, which is much more open than the Candela Empire. I believe that you and the Malo Empire You will definitely benefit from this open attitude.”
Xu Yi saw the Marquis of Southgaard sign his name on the last agreement reached between the two parties, then put his seal on it, and showed a satisfied smile.
These days, I have been traveling around with the Marquis of Southgaard to conduct inspections, and at the same time, I have to negotiate constantly, but I am really exhausted.
Now that the dust has finally settled for the time being, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
Marquis Southgaard was also mentally exhausted, but his eyes were shining brightly, and it was clear that he was not at peace in his heart either.
"Haha, President Xu, our Malo Empire is certainly much stronger than the decadent Kandra Empire. If your New Flying Chamber of Commerce wants to find someone to cooperate with, our Maro Empire is definitely a choice countless times better than the Kandra Empire. ”
If Marquis Southgaard was just curious about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce when he first learned about those amazing household magic machines, then after his in-depth understanding and investigation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce last time and this time, he I have deeply felt the powerful power and immeasurable potential contained in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
He was very sure that the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had deeply affected several countries in the southwestern corner of the mainland, and would definitely affect other countries in the future.
If the Malo Empire wakes up too late in this regard, it will most likely leave itself behind.
He was very convinced of this through his observations of these countries last time and this time, especially the Lampali Kingdom, which was most affected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But he was not convinced that he could convince the stubborn guys in the empire, so he did not intend to persuade, but planned to convince them directly with reality.
As long as he brings things like the New Flying Chamber of Commerce into the Maro Empire and allows everyone to see with their own eyes the powerful charm contained in these magical machines, then there will be no need for him to persuade, and there will definitely be countless people in the empire flocking to it. .
Thinking of this, Marquis Southgaard glanced at Xu Yi and sighed inwardly.
In fact, compared to the changes in infrastructure and household magic machines, he cared more about the military magic machines that he had always heard rumors about but never seen in practice.
According to what was revealed in the rumors, the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is said to have extremely powerful power, which can easily increase the combat effectiveness of an army several times.
The reason why the Lampali Kingdom can now easily suppress the Sark Kingdom, which had suppressed them for hundreds of years, is said to be because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce provided them with a large number of military magic machines.
Of course, Marquis Southgaard hopes to find out about such an important thing and introduce it to the Malo Empire under feasible conditions.
However, Xu Yi has always been tight-lipped about this aspect. Even if Marquis Southgaard pretended to mention it accidentally every time, Xu Yi would immediately change the topic.
After finding out Xu Yi's attitude, Marquis Southgaard had to temporarily put aside this idea.
After all, this is the first time for both parties to cooperate with each other, so Xu Yi should be more cautious.
When the two parties cooperate for a long time in the future, Marquis Southgaard believes that he will definitely have the opportunity to discuss military magic machinery with Xu Yi.
As Xu Yi himself said, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also a chamber of commerce in the final analysis. He pays more attention to his identity as a businessman than to his identity as a great magician. So since Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has created military magic machinery, he will definitely think of selling it. .
As long as Xinfeishang is willing to sell it, of course anything can be said.
Among these considerations, there is one question that has always troubled Marquis Southgaard, making him always a little uneasy.
The last time he came to the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he accidentally met Remito Russell, the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Empire's naval command.
Marquis Southgaard had directly confronted this guy on the battlefield before, and he also knew that he was listed as one of the people in the Kandra Empire who needed to be vigilant by the Maro Emperor's Ministry. He knew that he was definitely not the kind of person who would A guy running around with nothing to do.
So the last time he appeared at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there must be some purpose.
What Marquis Southgaard is worried about is that his purpose may be related to the military magic machinery produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
It is even possible that the Candela Empire has privately reached some agreements with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce regarding military magic machinery.
If this is true, then something is really bad.
However, looking at Xu Yi, who was always smiling, Marquis Southgaard still suppressed the doubts in his heart.
The future is long, but we cannot rush. (To be continued...)
