The metal door slowly opened, and Russell saw Xu Yi's smiling face for the first time.
"Lord Russell, it's a pleasure to see you again. Xu Yi greeted him with a smile, and by the way, he also took the time to nod to the fat Ambassador Hakanin.
Russell froze his mind, then walked out of the automatic magic ladder and stretched out his hand to Xu Yi with a smile.
"President Xu, I'm glad to be able to meet you again. Last time, because it was the first time we met, we didn't have a close conversation, so I hope we can have a good exchange this time. ”
"Oh?" Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and nodded: "Lord Russell, if you are willing to have an in-depth exchange with me, I am very welcome." I just wonder if you and the people behind you are ready?"
Seeing that Xu Yi said it so bluntly, Russell no longer tossed about those vague and useless nonsense, nodded and said, "Since I came this time, of course I have already prepared." President Xu, I think we're going to have a great time talking this time. ”
"That's great. Xu Yi laughed happily and shook Russell's hand harder. "I can't ask for a cordial, friendly and in-depth exchange with the Venerable Candela Imperial Navy. ”
After the pleasantries, Hsu also invited Russell and Ambassador Hakanin to the table that had been prepared long ago.
After the three men had lunch, Kennard appeared at the right time, and Ambassador Hakanin immediately took his leave. Leave with Kennard.
Every time he comes here. will order a new batch of household magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Due to the growing popularity of domestic magic machinery in Wimbledon. Each time Ambassador Hakanin came to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he ordered more and more goods.
The last time he ordered the total value of the household magic machinery had exceeded 800,000 gold coins, this time, according to the plan in his heart, he would at least order goods with a total value of more than 1 million gold coins to go back.
If at the beginning of the contact between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Ambassador Hakanin was just to find a channel to open the Candela Empire, now Ambassador Hakanin himself has become a very important partner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After cooperating with Ambassador Hakanin for so many times, Xu also found that although Ambassador Hakanin has an average character, he is very honest in doing business, and he is a very good partner.
Therefore, under his instructions, the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Ambassador Hakanin has become closer and closer.
Now the number of household magic machines that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has provided not only to Ambassador Hakanin is increasing. At the same time, it also provides various preferential treatments, and even considers giving Ambassador Hakanin more cooperation content.
For example, the various farmland magic machines that the Sark Kingdom was desperately looking for inspired Xu Yi to have the idea of promoting the new flying brand of farmland magic machines in the Candela Empire.
Ambassador Hakanin is a very good medium for this idea to be realized.
After Ambassador Hakanin left, Xu Yi asked all the attendants to retreat, and only Xu Yi and Russell were left in the room.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then Xu Yi spoke: "Lord Russell, this time you are still coming alone, how can I believe that you can represent the Candela Imperial Navy?"
Russell was not surprised by Xu Yi's question, and smiled and said, "President Xu." Don't you think this question doesn't make sense? I don't think anyone other than the Imperial Navy would be interested in your new flying chamber of commerce's frigates. As for me personally...... Although I am very interested. But I obviously can't afford it. ”
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, Lord Russell, in addition to the Venerable Candela Imperial Navy, there are actually many people who have expressed interest in frigates to us during this time. ”
"Really?" Russell clearly didn't believe it. "I don't think there are any other forces besides our Candela Imperial Navy who really need this frigate. ”
"Not necessarily. Xu also retorted. "For example, the Maro Imperial Navy...... There will definitely be a lot of interest in frigates. ”
Russell narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Yi, and after looking at it for a while, his expression turned gentle, he exhaled lightly, shook his head, and said, "Okay, President Xu, time is precious, I don't think we should waste it on this kind of meaningless conversation." I make it clear to you that I am indeed here on behalf of our Candela Imperial Navy, hoping to be able to purchase the frigates produced by your new flying chamber of commerce. ”
Xu Yi also smiled: "If you are sincere in purchasing, then of course I am very welcome." I must say in advance that our Chamber of Commerce has limited production capacity, and if your demand is too high, we may not be able to meet your requirements in a short period of time. ”
The muscles on Russell's face twitched slightly, and after a pause, he said with a slight sense of depression: "I don't think President Xu needs to worry about this." We're just hoping to get a handful of frigates for the time being. If the results are satisfactory, the order of more frigates will be considered. ”
Xu Yi immediately smiled and said, "I am 100% sure that you will be very satisfied with the frigate." ”
Russell wanted to refute two sentences, but found that he couldn't find a rebuttal at all.
He had seen the strong combat effectiveness of the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and he had already been completely impressed by it.
If this were not the case, how could he, at great risk, forcibly pass a bill on the Imperial Navy Staff that it was necessary to purchase frigates and submit it to the Imperial Navy Headquarters in his own name?
You know, he has to bear a very heavy responsibility in this way.
In the unlikely event that the purchased corvette does not achieve what he says in the report, then the consequences that he needs to bear will be extremely severe.
"Alright, President Xu, let's get back to business. Russell continued. "We do intend to buy frigates, but we have big questions about your pricing for frigates. The price of two million gold coins for one ship, we can't accept it anyway. ”
Xu Yi smiled and asked, "So what is the price you can accept?"
Russell stretched out a slap: "If it's half a million gold coins." We can accept it. ”
The smile on Xu Yi's face suddenly froze. After two twitches of the muscles in his face. Slowly shaking his head: "Impossible." Lord Russell, although bargaining is inevitable when making a transaction, don't you think such a counteroffer is too much?"
"And what's the lowest price you're okay with?" Russell asked rhetorically.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and stretched out a finger to Russell: "For the sake of our first cooperation, I can give you some preferential treatment." In this way, each ship will be reduced by 100,000 gold coins, which is 1,900,000 gold coins. What do you think?"
"No way, the price is so outrageous that we absolutely can't accept it. 500,000 gold coins, and we can attach some conditions, what do you think, President Xu?"
"I don't think any of the conditions are worth the huge difference of 1.4 million gold coins per ship. Xu Yi shook his head. "Lord Russell, I am looking forward to this transaction between our two sides, so I hope that you will show your sincerity as well. ”
"What if this bonus is to help you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce smoothly enter the empire?"
Xu Yi was slightly stunned, squinted his eyes and looked at Russell for a while, and then nodded slowly: "Please also ask Lord Russell to explain." ”
###
The last time Russell came to the Duchy of Stantin. I only stayed for three days and left, and this time. He's going to be there much longer.
After seven full days in the Duchy of Stantin, Russell left with the equally satisfied ambassador Hakanin.
At the time of his departure, Xu also presented Russell with a set of model magic ships as a gift on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Made entirely of light alloy, this model of the Magic Steamer is extremely delicate and extremely sturdy, even though it is only a model.
Xu Yi struck the models twice with a hammer in front of Russell, but he didn't even deform the models.
Russell gladly accepted the gift, because he knew very well that Xu Yi gave him this gift, in addition to representing the content of the transaction between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy, which was commemorative, and it was also a testament to the high level of technology of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the steel manufacturing process.
Russell has seen the same surprise as this model, but it is so hard at the same time that it is unique.
Russell believes that there is no second chamber of commerce in the entire Sainz continent that can do such a steel manufacturing process, except for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Even the alloy used to create this model is only produced by the New Flying Chamber.
This means that even if the Imperial Candela Navy succeeds in purchasing frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it will be difficult to imitate and learn from these frigates, and eventually master the manufacture of their own.
From this point of view, Xu Yi gave him this set of gifts, which can be regarded as a hidden warning to Russell and the Candela Imperial Navy.
Frigates can only be bought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so if the Candela Imperial Navy still wants to continue to assemble frigates, it can only cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Russell actually felt a slight trace of humiliation and anger in his heart about this.
But the fact that this is the case leaves him helpless.
And he was sure that with the superb performance of the new flying chamber of commerce's frigates, those guys in the navy would oppose it if they hadn't seen it before, but when they really saw it, they would definitely not find any reason to oppose it.
Therefore, the Candela Imperial Navy will inevitably continue to purchase frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and continue to obediently cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Even though he felt a little humiliated, Russell still decided in his heart that the Imperial Navy must accept such cooperation.
And Russell even had an expectation in his heart.
If Xu Yi's cooperation plan is followed, not only will the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be able to obtain what they want to achieve, but the Imperial Navy will most likely also benefit a lot from it.
According to Xu Yi, this is called "win-win".
