"President Xu, our Chimera Chamber of Commerce intends to acquire your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a total price of 76 million gold coins. This is the agreement, please read it."
Looking at the thin agreement handed over by Ottov, Xu Yi was stunned for a long time. He looked at Russell first and saw that he had a calm face. Then he looked at Ottov and found that his expression was serious. Only then was he sure that the other party was not joking. the meaning of.
However, taking another look at the agreement in Ottov's hand, Xu Yi still felt extremely ridiculous.
After working on it for a long time, the reason why Ottov said nothing during the meeting just now was not because he was unwilling, but because he did not need to discuss any cooperation with Xinfei Commercial.
We have to fully acquire your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what else do we need to discuss about cooperation!
Xu Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to push the agreement away.
"Sorry, Director Ottov, I have no plans to sell the New Flying Chamber of Commerce at the moment."
Ottov's expression remained unchanged and he pushed the agreement back again.
"President Xu, let's take a look and see that there is no loss for you. If you are not satisfied with the conditions, we can negotiate again."
"No need, I have no plans in this regard at all, there is nothing to negotiate." Xu Yi said firmly, but still kept a smile on his face.
After all, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in mainland China. If possible, Xu Yi still hopes to cooperate with the other party without offending him.
And judging from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce's sudden intention to acquire the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can also be seen that they are not dismissive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. On the contrary, they should be very serious about it, otherwise they would not be interested in acquiring it.
"President Xu. I suggest you take a look. It will be good for you." Ottov said nothing. Russell on the side spoke.
Xu Yi glanced at Russell in surprise, thinking that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce's desire to acquire the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has anything to do with you and the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Candela Empire's Naval Staff
However, considering that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the mainland and the largest chamber of commerce in the Candela Empire, it must be inextricably linked to all forces within the Candela Empire. It is not surprising that Russell would cooperate with the actions of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce. Not unusual.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yi took the agreement from Ottov's hand.
Russell and Ottov looked at each other and smiled. They sat down separately and waited patiently for Xu Yi's response.
When Xu Yi read the agreement, he looked very focused on the surface, but in fact he was very careless.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the existence where all his hard work and ideals have been condensed. How could he sell it.
And even if these factors were put aside, it was impossible for Xu Yi to agree based on the price of 76 million gold coins offered by the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.
The net income of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year may exceed 30 million gold coins. If nothing unexpected happens in the next few years, it will only continue to grow significantly.
Seventy-six million gold coins may seem like a lot, but in fact it is only a figure that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can earn in two to three years.
Want to acquire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with such a small amount of money
Xu Yi could only say that although the Chimera Chamber of Commerce saw the potential of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it still underestimated the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The contents of the agreement did not surprise Xu Yi. The main purpose is that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce hopes to acquire the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a total price of 76 million gold coins.
These acquisition projects include everything currently owned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Including various processing plants, research institutes, all employees, and relevant technical information of various magic machines, etc...
To put it simply, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was packaged and sold to the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, leaving Xu Yi with only his private estate in the Principality of Standing.
After roughly scanning the agreement, Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This Chimera Chamber of Commerce has a really big appetite, and it doesn't leave any room for itself. It seems that even if they have a certain understanding of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they don't understand it far enough.
Seeing Xu Yi close the agreement, Ottov finally smiled for the first time since seeing him.
"Have you read it? President Xu, if you think there is no problem, let's sign the agreement."
Xu Yi looked at Ottov in confusion, wondering what kind of brain circuit this guy had. Why did he look so sure that he would sign this agreement
"Thank you Chimera Chamber of Commerce for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I still don't have any idea of selling Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yiyao responded. "Director Ottov, if you are here to discuss cooperation with us on behalf of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, I very much welcome it. But if you are just here to discuss acquisitions... then I think there is no need for us to continue talking."
After saying this, Xu Yi unceremoniously put on the posture of seeing off guests.
Ottov's face sank slightly: "President Xu, do you really not think about it? You can think about it clearly. Being favored by our Chimera Chamber of Commerce is what countless chambers of commerce on the continent of Sainz dream of. Miss this Chance, maybe you won’t have any chance in the future.”
Xu Yi took a sip of tea and smiled but did not answer.
Seeing that Xu Yi actually had such an attitude, Ottov's face became a little darker and he turned to look at Russell.
Russell smiled awkwardly and said to Xu Yida: "President Xu, Director Ottof is right. It is your and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's luck to be favored by Chimera merchants. You'd better think about it seriously. ”
Xu Yi could not give face to Ottov, who looked arrogant from beginning to end, but he had to estimate Russell's face to some extent. After hearing the words, he pondered for a while, but still shook his head firmly.
"No need to think about it. Mr. Russell, I am very grateful to you for bringing the representatives of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, but the idea of selling the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been in my mind at any time, so this matter is not discussed."
Seeing Xu Yi's resolute attitude, Russell could only helplessly turn his head and look at Ottov again.
Ottov snorted coldly: "President Xu, I hope you can think clearly about the consequences. I will give you another month. If you change your mind, you are welcome to contact us at any time."
After saying that, he ignored Xu Yi's reaction and left.
Xu Yi and Russell were the only two people left in the room. Russell hesitated for a moment and did not follow Ottov away. Instead, he thought about it and gave Xu Yi a wry smile.
"President Xu, I just thought that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce also wanted to come to discuss cooperation with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but I didn't expect..."
Russell sighed and shook his head, looking a little regretful.
Xu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that you didn't show any surprise when Ottov made the request just now, but now you are denying that you didn't know beforehand. Who are you kidding
However, there is no need to reveal this kind of thing. Xu Yi nodded noncommittally and changed the subject: "Master Russell, let's talk about business. What do you want to discuss with me this time?"
Hearing Xu Yi ask about business, Russell took a breath, was refreshed, nodded and replied: "Of course it's about the new fleet we formed. President Xu, the three frigates you provided are now officially in the Royal Navy. In service, and with the support of the technicians you provided, everything is in good operating condition, and the navy is very satisfied with these three frigates. But... there is a problem."
"Speaking."
"Except for the magic artillery that comes with them, these three frigates are not equipped with any other types of military magic machines that are equipped on your new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet, so they are still a little behind in terms of firepower. Although compared to us The combat ships used before are much stronger, but they are not as good as your new Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet, so in order to fully utilize the power of these three frigates, I hope you can also provide other military magic machines with equivalent equipment."
"Lord Russell, if I remember correctly, I already raised this issue when I sold these three frigates to you. But the reason why these three frigates are not equipped with other types of military magic machinery is because You took the initiative to refuse, but it’s none of our business, right?” Xu Yi retorted.
"This..." Russell smiled awkwardly. "The price you offered at the beginning was two million gold coins for a frigate equipped with other military magic machinery, while the one without the equipment only cost 1.5 million gold coins. The price gap is still a bit big..."
"Isn't it better to just say that you are poor..." Xu Yi muttered in his heart, nodded, and asked: "Then are you willing to accept the price difference now?"
"I can't say I fully accept it. After all, it costs half a million gold coins just to install some military magic machinery on a frigate, which is a bit excessive. Well, what do you think about adding a frigate with 200,000 gold coins? "
"Two hundred thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi widened his eyes exaggeratedly. "Lord Russell, are you kidding? Two hundred thousand gold coins are not even enough for our cost!"
"President Xu, are you being unkind?" Russell shook his head. "It's just some simple military magic machines. How can it still be a loss for two hundred thousand gold coins?"
Xu Yi snorted coldly: "You think it's not a loss? That's good, you can solve it yourself."
Russell frowned deeply, but unexpectedly he did not continue to argue with Xu Yi or engage in any bargaining. Instead, he stood up after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, President Xu, since we can't agree on the price for the time being, let's discuss this matter again later. In addition to discussing the installation of military magic machinery this time, there are some other things that I need to discuss with you. Discuss. Can you take me to visit your shipyard? Let’s talk.”
Xu Yi felt strange.
This Russell should not be someone who gives up so easily, and adding weapons and equipment to the frigate should be something that the Candela Imperial Navy takes very seriously. Why did he stop talking so casually
Contacting Ottov just now, Xu Yi always felt that there was a strange atmosphere in Russell and others' arrival this time.
What is the plan of the Candela Empire? (To be continued...)
