After learning about the departure of Magister Arista, Xu Yi immediately found Magister Camilla.
"Grandpa, has Magister Arista agreed?" Xu Yi asked expectantly.
"It's not that easy." Magister Camilla rolled her eyes at him. "He is a magister, and his every move is closely watched. He can do whatever he wants."
"Does that mean it still doesn't work?" Xu Yi suddenly looked disappointed.
"It's not impossible at all." Magister Camilla shook her head. "Although Arista didn't say it explicitly, I think what he meant was that it shouldn't be a big problem to participate in research in this area, but if you want to ask him to help you with other things, it's basically impossible. You don't want to do it anyway. I hope to buy him over from the Malo Empire with fifty thousand gold coins a year."
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, do you underestimate me? If fifty thousand gold coins a year can buy a magician, then I can buy as many as you want."
"But you only gave me 10,000 gold coins a year." Magister Camilla rolled her eyes.
"This..." Xu Yi glanced at Magister Camilla and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are a different story. You have a share in this entire chamber of commerce. As long as you like it, you can take as much as you like." . But you reminded me of one thing. The salary of 10,000 gold coins per year has not changed for many years. This is my oversight. You are now a magister, so it is really a small salary. It doesn’t make sense. Well... let’s increase your annual salary to 50,000 gold coins. What do you think?”
Magister Camilla was startled. He waved his hand quickly: "I was just joking. Why do you give me so much money? I have everything in the Chamber of Commerce now, and it's useless to ask for money. You might as well use the money to do something else."
"This money can be considered as advertising. Don't refuse." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Advertising? I say Xu Yi, don't think too much, kid. Although Arista may agree to participate in the research, it is absolutely impossible for you to actually hire him to the Chamber of Commerce. You'd better do it as soon as possible. Give up this idea," Magister Camilla said sternly.
"I never expected to be able to hire Magister Arista, let alone hire other Magisters, but through this I can send a signal to other Magisters on the continent. As long as you are willing to come and serve as our new If you work with the Flying Chamber of Commerce, our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be able to provide appropriate rewards. The higher the level, the higher the reward. In addition, based on the example of Arista Magister, I found that this new cooperation model is very feasible. ”
"What kind of cooperation model?"
"Grandpa. You should know that our Chamber of Commerce has always cooperated with the great magician Aisenka, right?"
"Esenka?" Magister Camilla snorted from her nose with a disdainful expression. "This guy took so many gold coins and resources from our Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, he has only developed some useless things. I advise you to stop cooperating with him as soon as possible."
"We don't care about the reason why he hasn't produced much research results. But I think this cooperation model in which our Chamber of Commerce funds and invites other capable magicians to join in for joint research is still very good. For example, this time As long as Magister Arista agrees, there will be one more Magister involved in the research on strong energy efficiency power output, and it will take much less time, are you right?"
Magister Camilla was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and nodded: "That's right. If multiple people help, it will be much better than me studying alone. But Xu Yi, this will cause a very serious problem. Question. In theory, these research results should belong to our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. But if Arista gives these research results to the Maro Empire or others, what can you do to stop him?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For the time being... there is no way."
"Then you still want to cooperate with them. Wouldn't it be that you are giving away what we have worked so hard to research?" Magister Camilla shouted with wide eyes.
"No, grandpa, you can't just see the possible disadvantages, but also the benefits." Xu Yi said seriously. "If we only rely on our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, many researches will progress slowly due to lack of manpower. The strong energy-efficiency power output you are currently researching is one of them. Although cooperation with other magicians will risk the leakage of results, we Now it is even more necessary for these results to appear. Do you think anyone on this continent can compare with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce in terms of practical application of these magical research results?"
Magister Camilla suddenly fell silent. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly.
"Okay, I admit that you are right. But Xu Yi, have you considered the consequences of these results being leaked, which will help other countries, especially large empires like the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire to quickly master the manufacturing of magic machines? "
"It was originally my purpose to let other countries in the mainland join the ranks of the magic industry." Xu Yi said with a smile. "Of course, you don't need to worry that they will surpass our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Because it is not important to master only one or two technologies, what is important is the entire industrial system. Without the support of a complete industrial system, they only have one or two technologies It won’t affect anything at all.”
Magister Camilla frowned and looked at Xu Yi: "Are you really so confident?"
"Of course." Xu Yi showed a confident smile. "If you don't believe it, the Sark Kingdom will give you a good example."

In January 3792 of the continental calendar, the Sark Kingdom’s Military Magic Machinery Exhibition was officially held in Orama City, the largest city in the southeast of the Sark Kingdom.
After two months of preparation, the total number of people participating in this exhibition even exceeded 100,000. Thousands of representatives from countries and other forces were invited or actively requested to participate. Almost all countries on the Sainz continent sent representatives. Representatives come.
The exhibition lasted for half a month before it came to an end.
Later, according to data officially announced by the Sak Kingdom, at this exhibition, the Sak Kingdom sold 13,000 magic cannons for a total price of more than 6 million gold coins.
In addition, it has also received orders related to various other military magic machines independently developed by the Sark Kingdom, involving a total amount of more than 7 million gold coins.
For a small country like the Sark Kingdom, this can be said to be an extremely successful product exhibition.
Therefore, in the official announcement of the Kingdom of Sark, the exhibition was highly praised, saying that through this exhibition, the Kingdom of Sark fully demonstrated to everyone the achievements of the Kingdom of Sark in the field of military magic machinery. This major breakthrough also makes Xinfei Chamber of Commerce no longer the only manufacturer of military magic machinery, breaking the monopoly of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and so on...
The announcement from the Kingdom of Sark directly mentioned the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and these military magic machines were originally directed at the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so after the exhibition, everyone's attention was focused on the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. .
According to normal circumstances, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will obviously respond positively to this or even directly counterattack.
However, the fact is... Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not respond at all.
No matter whether it is in the "Xinfei Magic Machinery Weekly" published by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself or the "Lampali Weekly" which has the closest relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is now regarded as the chief newspaper of the Lampali Kingdom, there is no news about Xinfei. Any comments from the Flying Chamber of Commerce on the Sark Kingdom Magical Machinery Exhibition.
Similarly, there is no response from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on this matter in any other newspapers.
It's as if... this matter has never happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Such a strange attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has aroused the suspicion of countless people. Some people think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to respond to this matter, while others feel that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce feels the threat from the Sac Kingdom, so Unwilling or even afraid to respond directly.
In some newspapers, there was even an argument like "The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's monopoly has been threatened, and they feel guilty!"
However, no matter what these newspapers reported, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still did not give any response. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.
As for Hogan, the director of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Malo Empire who is far north of the Malo Empire, he has no time to care about the chaotic rumors in the countries in the southwest of the mainland. The countless things that need to be completed in front of him have already left him. He was busy for several months, with almost no time to rest.
The first fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has returned to the Principality of Standing, and the task left to Hogan is to make all preparations for the magic industrial base to be established before the ice thaws in the spring and the port is unsealed.
Among these preparations, the first one to bear the brunt is the manpower issue.
Half a month ago, Hogan received a letter from the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. In the letter, the president personally approved the issues he mentioned before, saying that he could accept the suggestion made by Baron Franklin and start from the local area in the north of the Marlow Empire. Recruit workers of different races to supplement manpower.
In order to show support for Hogan, along with this letter came here five workers from different orc tribes who were sent by the president and belonged to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
When negotiating with a different race, it is obviously much more convenient to have someone of the same race around.
After receiving the president's personal letter and the five orc workers sent, Hogan spent another half a month preparing before formally visiting the orc tribe in front of him today, which is known as the largest orc tribe in the north of the Malo Empire. Wolf werewolf tribe. (To be continued...)
