Xu Yi came to the Candela Empire on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. On the surface, it was at the invitation of Prince Frank to build a magic motorcycle factory on his private property in the southwest province of the Candela Empire and also build a racing track. , introducing the new flying racing game to the Candela Empire, the Barbarian Prince Frank's love for racing.
But in fact, both Xu Yi and Prince Frank knew very well that this represented a test by the Candela Empire to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The two invasions of the Luersun Kingdom were met with disastrous defeats, which made the Candela Empire clearly realize the incomparable power that military magic machines can exert on the battlefield, and also allowed the Candela Empire to formally establish the Flying Chamber of Commerce for the first time, a small country in the southwest. unknown small chamber of commerce.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce understands that it supports the Kingdom of Luersun, a country defined as an enemy country by the Candela Empire, which makes it difficult for the Candela Empire to openly seek cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, Prince Frank, who had previously cooperated with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, It was a matter of course for a guy who had been in contact with him before and who was still the prince of the Candela Empire to come forward to contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
For Xu Yi, supporting the Kingdom of Luersun in repelling the invasion of the Candela Empire, in addition to erecting a barrier in front of the Principality of Standing, was also an advertisement for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, forcing the Candela Empire to pay attention to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The ad proved to be successful.
The Candela Empire now not only noticed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but even took it seriously.
However, differences inevitably arise in the cooperation between the two parties.
The primary target of the Candela Empire is of course the military magic machinery that caused their disastrous defeat in the war of invading the Kingdom of Luersun, and the target of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. In other words, it was Xu Yi's goal. It focuses on popularizing civilian magic machines in the Candela Empire.
After meeting Duke Mogudu, the governor of the Southwest Province. Under the arrangement of Duke Mogudu, Xu Yi had a secret negotiation with the representative sent by Prince Frank.
The first half of the negotiation went very smoothly. Prince Frank leased one hundred hectares of land in his private domain to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at a very low price for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a magic motorcycle factory and supporting production base.
In addition, Prince Frank will provide another fifty hectares of land for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a racing track on it.
However, this racing track still belongs to Prince Frank in name. All the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can do is to assist Prince Frank in holding professional racing competitions in this racing track.
These two points had been discussed by both parties before, and there were no surprises.
But after confirming these two cooperation projects. Baron Julian, the representative sent by Prince Frank, made new demands.
"President Xu, His Highness the Prince's personal guard just needs to change its uniforms recently. He is very interested in the military magic machines of your Chamber of Commerce and wants to purchase a batch of equipment for the private guard. I wonder what President Xu wants?"
"Oh?" Xu Yi smiled, thinking that as the third prince of the Candela Empire, Prince Frank wanted to change the equipment of his personal guard, which was definitely not a trivial matter.
If you do this without the approval of the Noble Council of the Candela Empire, it is definitely a serious crime. It is even very possible to be accused of rebellion.
Prince Frank is not stupid, how could he make this request rashly.
So obviously. In fact, this request was not made by Prince Frank at all, but was the wish of the Candela Empire.
Of course, Xu Yi was not surprised by this.
After two consecutive failed invasions of the Luersun Kingdom, and having personally experienced the terrifying power of military magic machines, it would be strange if the Candela Empire was still not interested in military magic machines.
"I wonder which military magic machines His Highness is interested in specifically?" Xu Yi asked after thinking about it. "The military magic machines currently produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are divided into three major categories and seventeen sub-categories, for a total of thirty-nine types. Not all of them may be suitable for His Royal Highness's personal guard."
"Are there so many kinds?" Baron Julian was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
Since Xu Yi said this, it means that he has the possibility of selling military magic machinery.
After thinking for a while, Baron Julian said seriously: "No matter what kind of military magic machinery it is, His Royal Highness is very interested. So President Xu, please prepare a copy of the information on these thirty-nine types of military magic machinery and hand it over to me. Give it to me and I will take it back to His Majesty the Prince for him to make a decision."
"I can give you the information, but if His Royal Highness wants to purchase all thirty-nine types of military magic machines... I'm afraid it's impossible." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
"Why?" Baron Julian frowned. "President Xu, are you worried that His Royal Highness cannot pay?"
"Of course not." Xu Yi shook his head. "It's just that there are many types of military magic machines among them. I don't think they are suitable for His Royal Highness's personal guard. For example, naval combat ships, I think His Highness's personal guard will definitely not need them, right? Even if they are army-type high-definition ones, Normally, powerful magic artillery can only be used by large-scale armies, and His Royal Highness certainly does not need it. In addition..."
Xu Yi gave examples here one by one, while Baron Julian took out a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one.
When Xu Yi finished speaking and stopped, Baron Julian counted the records on the paper, raised his head and said: "President Xu, you just said that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produces a total of thirty-nine types of military magic machines. This is not allowed here." There are twenty-three types of attacks that are suitable for the equipment of His Royal Highness's personal guard. In other words, there are still sixteen types that are suitable? Then, on behalf of His Highness, I can place an order for the remaining sixteen types of military magic machinery. You won’t refuse, right?”
"Of course." Xu Yi shrugged. "The remaining sixteen types of military magic machines are very suitable for ordinary small group armed forces. If His Royal Highness is willing to buy them, of course I will not refuse. But before that, I have a question."
"Excuse me."
"His Royal Highness the Prince purchased a large amount of military equipment from our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Wouldn't other people in the Candela Empire, especially other His Majesty the Princes, have any objections?"
Baron Julian smiled unnaturally. He shook his head and said: "President Xu. This is not something you need to worry about."
"Okay then. But there is another question. How should we deliver the goods?" Xu Yi asked again.
Baron Julian pointed to the agreement on the investment and construction of the magic motorcycle factory that was signed by both parties and said with a smile: "The so-called military magic machinery is also assembled from parts, isn't it?"
Xu Yi laughed, nodded and asked no more questions.
After discussing for a few more words, Baron Julian stood up.
"President Xu, I know that you still have some concerns about our first cooperation, so His Royal Highness will not make too many demands from you this time. But I believe that after a while, you will I understand His Royal Highness’s sincerity in cooperating. I hope we can discuss the remaining twenty-three types of military magic machines by then.”
"No problem." Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
Watching Baron Julian leave, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
The Candela Empire is really coy. It just wants to buy some military magic machines. If you ask him directly, he will still sell them.
Because before that, he had signed a sales agreement for military magic machines with the Malo Empire Military Department, and would sell twenty-one types of military magic machines to the Malo Empire Military Department. So in order to maintain balance, he would definitely also sell it to the Candela Empire. Also for sale.
As a result, the Candela Empire was too inconsistent. Instead, they only received a promise to purchase a small amount of military magic machinery, which was far behind the military magic machinery obtained by the Maro Empire military.
certainly. Compared with the huge armies owned by the two empires, the military magic machinery they purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is definitely far from enough to provide what they need.
If nothing else, the two empires definitely want to purchase some of the military magic machines produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and then research and produce them themselves.
This is of course a very easy to understand approach. After all, for the two empires, they will never allow such an important thing to be solved completely by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. This is tantamount to leaving their fate in the hands of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Being able to research and master the production of military magic machinery on your own is the most correct and suitable approach.
For the two empires, this was their only choice.
Because compared to a small country like the Luersun Kingdom, they are too big and big. Even if they really want to hand over the entire empire's army to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide military magic machinery, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone will It is impossible to supply it.
From a theoretical point of view, the two empires have extremely powerful national power as support. Not to mention anything else, they can completely crush the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in terms of the number and quality of their magicians. So as long as they acquire some military magic machines, it is obvious that It should be very easy to grasp the principles and prevent them from happening.
Even relying on the deep foundations in the two empires, it is completely possible to catch up from behind and overtake the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in terms of military magic machinery.
But from a practical point of view...
"Hey, copycat is easy to say, but difficult to do." A slightly mocking smile flashed across Xu Yi's face. "And if you want to innovate on the basis of copycats... it will be even more difficult."
No industrial technology on the planet is created overnight. It is all based on a little bit of experimentation, inference, and final grinding based on extremely solid theoretical and practical foundations. There are no shortcuts.
Even the so-called "copycats" that are criticized and disdainful by many people in the Celestial Empire on Earth are actually far from being as easy as most people imagine.
Because modern industry has extremely high requirements for every detail. Even if you are given a complete sample and even all the relevant technologies are handed over to you, if you want to imitate something exactly the same, That was also extremely difficult.
Although the magic industrial system currently controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not reach the advanced level of modern industries on earth, these countries on the Sainz continent have no industrial foundation at all, and do not even have the concept of "industry". Just thinking about copycats is nothing more than wishful thinking.
"After these guys have suffered a loss, they will naturally come to beg me obediently..."
Thinking of this, Xu Yi smiled slightly contentedly. (To be continued...)
