The day after the Marquis of Southgaard and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement on a joint venture steelmaking plant, the Great Magician Ferguson came to the Principality of Standing.
He did not come alone. He was accompanied by Parmes Allen, the president of the Lampali Kingdom’s Magician’s Union, and several other big figures from the Lampali Kingdom’s Magician’s Union. They were obviously accompanying him. .
In addition, Xu Yi was surprised that a total of fifty low-level magicians registered with the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union also came with them.
Seeing these people, Xu Yi naturally thought of what the great magician Ferguson told him before.
"President Xu, if I ask you to help us solve the survival problem of these fifty magicians now, is there any problem?" Great Magician Ferguson looked at Xu Yi with a smile, and his tone was as relaxed as if he just wanted to It was as simple as Xu Yi preparing a lunch for them.
Xu Yi's face remained unchanged, and his eyes drifted over the fifty magicians with different appearances. The youngest was probably less than twenty years old, and the oldest was probably over sixty years old. From the magicians on their chests Judging from the signs and the unstable magic power fluctuations they emitted, the magic power of these fifty magicians should be very low, and there is probably not even a fourth-level magician among them.
"That depends on what kind of results you want, Great Magician Ferguson." Xu Yi responded calmly. "If it's just to ensure that they can live in the future, it's very simple."
"Of course it can't be that simple." The great magician Ferguson shook his head. "I hope that while you can solve their livelihood problems, you can also solve their difficulties in magic research."
Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Sorry, I can't agree to this."
The great magician Ferguson was stunned for a moment by Xu Yi's straightforward rejection. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "President Xu. I remember the last time we met. You agreed very readily..."
"I just promised to help the union improve the living environment of low-level magicians. But I didn't promise to do it all, right?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
The great magician Ferguson frowned and stared at Xu Yi, seeming to be thinking about the meaning of Xu Yi's words.
"Great Magician Ferguson, if the union only asks me to help solve the problem of fifty of their people, then I can agree to it, because with the current strength of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there is not much pressure to support fifty more people who are free to eat. ”
"Eating for free?" The great magician Ferguson raised his voice slightly, with a hint of anger in his tone. "President Xu. How can you despise your fellow magicians so much?"
Xu Yi chuckled, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, not a charity. For the sake of the Magician Union, we can support fifty fellow magicians for free. This No problem. But what if this number becomes 500, 5,000, or even 50,000? Do you think our new business can afford it?”
The great magician Ferguson suddenly fell silent. After a while, he shook his head and sighed softly: "Of course not. It seems that Trutch is right, you will not agree to this plan."
"Great Magician Truchi?" Xu Yi was startled. "Have you met him?"
Although the great magician Truchi has already joined the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. However, he has been working in the R&D center in the Lampali Kingdom. On the contrary, he has not met Xu Yi very often.
"Yes. I made a special trip to meet with him before I came here. Because he is also working in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, of course I hope to ask his opinion. After he knew my plan, he expressed it without hesitation. Object, saying that it is impossible for you to agree to this plan. It seems that he does know you better than me."
Xu Yi cursed nonsense in his mind, and then asked: "So, Great Magician Ferguson, was your previous plan just to stuff people into our chamber of commerce like this and let us be responsible for solving their problems?"
The Great Magician Ferguson laughed: "Actually, it's just a preliminary plan formulated by the headquarters council, and I'm just here to give it a try. Since you don't agree, President Xu, forget it. But President Xu, you can come up with a better plan. ?"
Xu Yi didn't expect that the great magician Ferguson was quite easy to talk to. He thought about it and said, "When we met last time, didn't you praise our chamber of commerce for driving the magic industry, thus solving the work of many low-level magicians and allowing them to work at the same time?" Do you have the environment to study magic? Since you understand this, why do you still propose this plan? "
"First, this is what the council told me, and I just followed it. Second, I want to see if you will really agree." The great magician Ferguson gave Xu Yi a meaningful look. "But as I expected, and it's exactly what Truchi said, although you are already a great magician in your own right, you are still a businessman most of the time. This plan did not gain your consent. "
Xu Yi shrugged, not feeling any embarrassment.
He has always insisted that his identity as a businessman is greater than that of a magician, and this will never change.
Although this seems unbelievable to most other magicians, he is not only a powerful magician that countless magicians cannot become in their lifetime, but he is also the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the most successful chamber of commerce. , but no one questioned him like before.
"As I just said, our Chamber of Commerce can solve fifty people, and we can barely handle it with five hundred people, but there is nothing our Chamber of Commerce can do about five thousand or even fifty thousand people, and no chamber of commerce on this continent has the ability to solve it, so Of course I will not accept this plan, because it is really... "
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and did not say the next half of the sentence.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind and took over the words.
"This plan is so stupid. I really don't know how the headquarters council came up with it."
Hearing this disdainful voice, the great magician Ferguson not only showed no anger at all, but instead showed an awkward smile, turned around and saluted solemnly.
"Your Excellency Camilla, this plan is just a preliminary plan made by the parliament without knowing the specific situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It has no intention of forcing Chairman Xu to implement it. Now I am here, talking to Chairman Xu and witnessing it with my own eyes After understanding the various impacts brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I have already rejected this plan. "
Of course, the only person who can make him, a great magician from the Magician Union Headquarters Council, be so respectful is Magister Camilla, one of the top magicians in the Sainz continent.
Magister Camilla came over, nodded and said: "That's pretty much it. So what are you going to do now?"
The Great Magician Ferguson smiled slightly and turned to look at Xu Yi: "Of course it depends on what President Xu plans."
Magister Camilla also looked at Xu Yi: "Okay, boy, looking at the confident look on your face, it's obvious that you have an idea for a long time. Telling it will make Ferguson feel at ease."
The great magician Ferguson's eyes lit up: "President Xu, it turns out that you already have a mature plan?"
"I can't talk about a mature plan, but I do have some ideas." Xu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Great Magician Ferguson, the purpose of the union is to enable all low-level magicians to find a suitable living environment. Is it possible to ensure their livelihood while also allowing them to continue to enjoy exploring the mysteries of magic? Judging from this requirement, working in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed very suitable."
"Yes. Not only can you get a very good salary when you work in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but you can also enjoy various welfare guarantees. More importantly, you can be exposed to magic tomorrow. It is simply the most suitable for these low-level magics. There is no such thing as a master's job," the great magician Ferguson said excitedly.
"But have you ever thought about this question? Even if all the fifty low-level magicians you brought here are allowed to work in our chamber of commerce, will they be competent?" Xu Yi asked again.
The great magician Ferguson was startled: "What's wrong with this? Isn't it just setting up some low-level simple magic circles? I think any magician should be able to do it?"
Xu Yi smiled but did not answer, turning to look at Magister Camilla.
"Joke!" Magister Camilla snorted heavily at the right time. "If it were really that simple, do you think our Chamber of Commerce would only have more than 2,000 magicians now? Let me tell you, magic machinery requires very fine things, and the magicians deployed in it are also very demanding. Ordinary magicians are not qualified at all. Done, you know what I mean?”
"This..." Great Magician Ferguson turned around to look at the fifty low-level magicians, and found that none of them showed any unconvincing look on their faces. Instead, they all had dejected looks on their faces, as if they were dissatisfied with what Magister Camilla said. Totally agree.
This situation made the great magician Ferguson very puzzled.
During this time, he had a good understanding of the magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and was convinced that the magic arrays engraved in most of the magic machines were just very low-level magic arrays. From his point of view, any An ordinary low-level magician should be able to complete it easily.
Why do these fifty low-level magicians seem to find it very difficult, and even Magister Camilla takes a serious attitude
"Ferguson, the great magician, directly asks them to join our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. This solution can only cure the symptoms, but it is far from the root cause. If we want to achieve the goal of allowing the vast majority of low-level magicians to improve their living environment, we must start from the most basic Starting from the right place, that is to improve their level," Xu Yizheng said.
The great magician Ferguson frowned: "Everyone's magic talent is different. How can it be so easy to improve magic strength?"
"No, I'm not talking about improving their magical strength, but improving their capabilities in the magic industry."
The great magician Ferguson looked at Xu Yi inexplicably.
What is the so-called magical industrial ability? (To be continued...)
