What does the Magicians Guild Headquarters want
As the saying goes, everything in the world is bustling for the sake of coming, and everything in the world is bustling for the sake of going.
The last time Great Magician Ferguson came on behalf of the Magicians' Union, he behaved quite normally. He just represented the Magicians' Union headquarters and hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would help solve the livelihood problems of low-level magicians. Generally speaking, he was relatively polite.
However, this time he once again came on behalf of the Magician's Guild, but suddenly put on a posture of embarrassing Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Of course, he had other motives.
After visiting the Magic Industrial College under construction, Xu Yi deliberately whetted the appetite of the Great Magician Ferguson for a few days, and then hinted to the Great Magician Ferguson that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was willing to pay some price to gain recognition from the Magician Union Headquarters.
So the great magician Ferguson changed his face in an instant and directly presented Xu Yi with a cooperation plan that had been studied and decided by the magicians union headquarters council.
This cooperation plan seems to go further than the plan proposed by Xu Yi before. Specifically, first, the Magician Union Headquarters recognizes the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as its cooperative chamber of commerce, and then the main cooperation project between the two parties is the placement of low-level magicians.
This is similar to the cooperation that the two parties discussed before, but the difference lies in the follow-up of this plan.
In this plan, the Magicians Guild proposed that since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce relies on magic machinery manufacturing-related industries to solve the livelihood problems of low-level magicians, from the perspective of considering these low-level magicians, the Magicians Guild Headquarters must The magic industry industry led by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce requires a certain amount of research and understanding.
The superficial meaning seems very high-sounding, but in fact it requires Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to share the existing magic machinery-related technologies to the Magician Guild Headquarters, so that the Magician Guild Headquarters can research and certify it. Make sure there is no harm done to low-level magicians.
"Then you agreed?" Sevini looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes.
At this time, the great magician Ferguson had left the Principality of Standing. One week after returning to the Magician's Guild Headquarters. Xu Yi came to Anvilmar City to discuss the matter with Sevini and mentioned this incident by the way.
"How is that possible?" Xu Yi shook his head and sneered. "The Magicians Guild Headquarters actually wants all of our current magic machinery-related technologies. I will only agree to them if I am crazy."
"You didn't agree? Then why did I hear that if nothing unexpected happens at the Magicians Union Headquarters, they will officially announce that your New Flying Chamber of Commerce will become their cooperative chamber of commerce next month?" Sevini asked in confusion.
"This was originally a negotiation. The Magicians Guild Headquarters offered a price, and I just bargained." Xu Yi spread his hands and smiled. "They wanted all the technology related to magic machinery. Of course, the price was sky-high, and they knew it, so I just paid back the price casually, and they agreed."
"Oh? Then how exactly did you counter-offer?" Sevini looked very interested.
"It's nothing. I promised to share all the relevant technologies of magic machines currently owned by our Chamber of Commerce to the Magician Guild Headquarters, but... there is no time limit."
Sevini was startled, then smiled.
"Well, Xu Yi, you are really cunning. But I don't believe that the people at the Magician's Guild headquarters can't see that you are deliberately delaying."
"They know this, but I promised them that I will ensure that at least one technology currently owned by our Chamber of Commerce will be transferred to the Magician Union Headquarters every year, and I also made a list of various technologies currently owned by our Chamber of Commerce. Let them do whatever they want selection, so they accepted it unceremoniously.”
"One thing every year?" Sevini's big eyes rolled. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey, Xu Yi, if my estimate is correct, the total number of technical projects currently owned by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must be at least more than two hundred, right? Does the Magician Union Headquarters plan to spend more than two hundred years? Did I just get all these technologies from you?"
"No, there are already more than 400 items, so to be precise, it will take more than 400 years." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"That's strange. If that's the case, why would the Magician's Guild headquarters agree to the plan you proposed?" Sevini asked curiously.
"First, they don't understand what the magic industry is. Second, they don't know how fast the magic industry is developing. More than four hundred years? By then, the technologies currently possessed by our chamber of commerce should have been used long ago. I don’t know what use they can do if they are kept in the history museum.”
Sevini breathed out lightly, shook his head and said: "Actually, you can't blame them. If I hadn't known you a long time ago, I wouldn't have known that the magic industry would develop so fast. You see, from your perspective It has only been eight years since the New Flying Chamber of Commerce emerged, but our Lampali Kingdom has already undergone earth-shaking changes. When you said that the emergence of the magic industry could change the entire Sainz continent, I didn't quite believe it now. But he firmly believes in it.”
"In my opinion, it's actually not enough." Xu Yi said seriously. "In fact, we still have not formed a complete magic industry system, and many important links are missing. For example, we have not yet solved the most important link of talent training, and we have not yet made the best use of resources."
"You also said that this can't be rushed, right?" Sevini smiled. "Speaking of which, what is the first technology that the Magicians Guild Headquarters asked you to share? Is it a magic airship? I think this thing should represent the highest technical level of your Chamber of Commerce, and they should value it the most."
"No, you guessed it wrong. Their priority is the technology related to magic air conditioners."
"Magic air conditioner?" Sevini was stunned. "The technical content is not particularly high, so why are they most interested in this?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? They are not actually interested in the so-called magic machine-related technologies, nor are they interested in helping low-level magicians master magic machine-related technologies more easily. There is only one reason why they chose magic air conditioners, and that is gold coins ”
Sevini was startled for a moment, then pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I understand. It seems that even these great magicians can't escape the shackles of interests after all."
"This is not surprising." Xu Yi shrugged. "If they are really perfect and noble, pure union leaders who only think about low-level magicians, then I will have a headache. But since they need benefits, it is much simpler. I give them benefits, and then Isn’t it nice to get what I need from them and everyone gets what they need.”
Sevini rolled his eyes at Xu Yi: "You are the biggest profiteer, I have never doubted it. Tell me, what benefits did you get from the Magician Guild Headquarters this time? It can't be just in the name of becoming the designated cooperative chamber of commerce of the Magician Guild Headquarters What’s the benefit?”
"Hey, you can't look down on this name. With this name, it will be much easier for our chamber of commerce to recruit magicians in the future. Think about it, we are the cooperative chamber of commerce designated by the union headquarters. What an honor it is. Things. Compared with those arrogant magicians, they will not be as resistant to working in our chamber of commerce. "
"It seems as if those magicians are now very resistant to working in your Chamber of Commerce..." Sevini couldn't help but muttered. "Almost more than half of the magicians in our Lampali Kingdom are eager to work in your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Are you still dissatisfied?"
"That's just the Kingdom of Lampali and the surrounding countries. My target is all the magicians in the entire continent of Sainz. You see, it has been three months since we went to the Malo Empire to build a factory this time. , but so far, I haven't even recruited a local magician. I'm having a headache about this. If the Magician Guild Headquarters announces that we have become a designated cooperative chamber of commerce, maybe I can put up this big sign. That will solve the problem.”
"I hope so." Sevini paused, glanced at Xu Yi, and continued: "Daomaluo Empire... Xu Yi, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, took out a document from his bag, and handed it over with both hands.
"Come, Her Majesty the Queen, this is our Chamber of Commerce's cooperation plan for jointly investing in the Malo Empire with the Kingdom of Lampali. Please take a look."
"That's pretty much it."
Sevini chuckled, took the plan, and read it carefully.
After reading, Sevini pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "There is a question. In your plan, you hope that our Lampali Kingdom will organize a chamber of commerce in an official name to go to the Malo Empire to make various investments, but our Lampali Kingdom and The Maro Empire has not had a particularly close relationship before, are you sure the Maro Empire is willing to accept it?”
"This is the result of negotiations between me and the Marquis of Southgaard. Although the Marquis of Southgaard cannot fully represent the official Malo Empire, he can represent a group of Malo Empire nobles headed by him. Southgaard The Marquis welcomes this plan very much, so you don’t have to worry.”
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, smiled, and continued: "Actually, I want to tell you something you may not like to hear. Compared to the Malo Empire, the Lampali Kingdom is too weak, so the Malo Empire officials will not treat Lan Pali at all. The Pali Kingdom takes it seriously and naturally doesn’t care whether you invest or not. In their eyes, it doesn’t matter at all.”
Sevini was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "In that case, this is completely equivalent to the private cooperation between our Kingdom of Lampali and the Marquis of Southgaard? How can we ensure that the Malo Empire will not interfere in the future? Woolen cloth?"
"It depends on the future development situation. For example, Sevini, if you were asked to completely drive our New Flying Chamber of Commerce out of the Lampali Kingdom now, would you do it?" Xu Yi stared at Sevini's face. He asked with serious eyes.
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course not. This has nothing to do with willingness, but... dare not." (To be continued...)
