"Don't look at me like that, I know you're thinking. ”

Sevini glanced at Xu Yi, who was smiling, and couldn't help but glance at him.

"Don't worry, I didn't come to you this time to ask why you wanted to stop cooperating with the Magical Industry Administration, anyway, it's not once or twice that you do this kind of thing that no one can understand, I'm used to it. ”

"Oh, really?" Xu was a little surprised. "Since you are not here for this matter, then dear Royal Highness, why did you come all the way to the Duchy of Stantin to meet me?"

"Can't I come to you for personal matters other than business?" said Sevigny angrily.

"Private matters?" Xu Yi was even more puzzled. "Do you have any personal matters to come to me?"

"It's because of the things in my territory, so to speak, my private affairs. Sevini replied. "Didn't we say last time, will you help me build a small industrial base in my territory? In the past, I have been the city lord of Bonta City, so it was not convenient for me to do this, and now that I have been out of office for almost half a year, there should be no more problems, so I will ask you when you plan to officially implement it?"

"Oh, yes, it's easy. Xu Yi nodded, and said with a relaxed face: "Our chamber of commerce is currently very skilled in establishing an industrial production base, your private territory is not large, there are not many people, and there are not many facilities in demand, I think it is easy to set up." But Sevigny, it's better to choose a focus on this industrial base, have you thought about it?"

"Well, I've thought it through. I don't have a lot of resources in my private domain. Definitely not if you're engaged in mineral processing or something. And the number of people on it is indeed not large. Then a mechanical parts processing plant that requires a lot of manpower is not good. So I thought about it. It's better to decide that this is the better thing to do. Look at ......"

Sevini took out a plan, Xu Yi leaned over and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"I said Her Royal Highness...... Are you trying to steal business from me?"

It turned out that in this plan, Sevigny actually planned to transform her private estate into a huge fruit base, and then build a large fruit canning factory and fresh juice drink factory in the territory.

At present, only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is involved in these two businesses, and the other chambers of commerce are not interested in these two businesses because they feel that the profit margin of these two businesses is not high.

Now that Sevini suddenly decided to join these two industries, it is naturally equivalent to stealing business from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"How can this be considered a hard robbery?" said Sevigny, with a slightly sly smile on his face. "Don't forget. You've often told me that you shouldn't let a whole bunch of people share the same piece of cake, but you should try to make it bigger and better, so that everyone who shares the cake will be fed. I'm not joining in to grab a cake with you. ”

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, how can you tell me how to make this cake bigger?" At present, the entire Lampari Kingdom is limited to an average standard of living, and the demand for canned fruits and fresh juices has not increased much, and the demand in a relatively wealthy city like Bangta City has long been saturated. We are desperately trying to expand the market, but there is nothing we can do. ”

"The Lampari Kingdom is saturated, so set your sights beyond the Lampari Kingdom. Don't you do this often?" asked Sevigny. "Don't look at me like that, I know you want to say that you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not qualified to sell this kind of goods to other countries at will. But I'm different, I'm a princess, and I still have this little privilege. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but mutter: "Damn privilege." ”

Seeing Xu Yi's unconvinced expression, Sevini couldn't help laughing, and then sighed lightly.

"Who told you to give up your nobility voluntarily? and now unilaterally break the contract and stop cooperating with the Magical Industry Administration. Originally, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could enjoy a lot of privileges, but your decision this time angered many big people in the kingdom, even me, I can't intercede for you. ”

"I knew you wouldn't be able to let go of this topic after all. Xu Yi shook his head, sighed and said, "Okay, since you still can't help mentioning it, then I'll explain it to you clearly." The reason why I chose to cooperate with the Magic Industry Administration was because I was forced to do so, and because I did have the idea of transferring technology to promote the development of the kingdom's magic industry. This, I think Sevigny should be very clear to you. ”

"Well, I know your wishes very well. Sevini said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that Brother Eric and many people in the kingdom don't understand your thoughts, in fact, even if they don't force you like this, you will publish these technologies sooner or later." Now this is no different from a hard robbery, I am very dissatisfied, and I have protested to Brother Eric many times. ”

"Thank you for your concern and help. Xu Yi smiled and nodded. But neither of these points is the main reason. The main reason why I agreed to cooperate in the first place was actually because we were not ready for the new flying chamber of commerce. ”

"Not ready?" Sevini frowned slightly and looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "So...... Now that you are ready, that's why you stopped this cooperative relationship so simply? Xu Yi, do you really understand the severity that this will bring? Do you know, because your decision this time has caused many nobles behind the ten chambers of commerce to suffer huge losses, and many powerful figures in the kingdom have already decided to take a tougher approach to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Tough?" Xu Yi smiled. "What do you think...... Wasn't what they did before? Although they talk about cooperation, what's the difference between them and Ming Bao?"

Sevini was silent for a while, and then sighed softly: "No matter what, Xu Yi, you are still too impulsive this time. I don't know what preparations you have made, but this time you have offended the most powerful people in the kingdom, and your chamber of commerce will definitely have an extremely difficult life in the kingdom in the future, and it may even be ...... It can't be started anymore. ”

"Really?" Xu Yi didn't look nervous at all. Spread your hands. Shrugged. He said unusually easily: "If you can't do it, you won't do it." If they think it's good for themselves and for the whole Lampari Kingdom, I'm fine. ”

Sevini frowned deeply: "Xu Yi, what do you think about this? Isn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce created by you single-handedly, and it is your most cherished effort?

"No, no, No, Sevigny, I think you've got one thing wrong. Xu Yi shook his finger. "It's not the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that I want to give up, it's the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Lampari Kingdom. Do you understand the difference?"

Sevigny's face became a little difficult to look at.

"Are you really going to give up the kingdom of Lampari? No! You can't do that! Xu Yi, don't forget. The prosperity that Bangta City can have now is due to you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If you give up the inheritance you have built in the kingdom of Lampari, you will give up all the people of the whole city of Bontha!"

"You're exaggerating. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just an ordinary chamber of commerce, and I am just an ordinary businessman, so I can't afford such a heavy responsibility. And when it comes to giving up...... Xu Yi let out a sneer. "Your Royal Highness, compared to your abandonment, I'm nothing at all, right?"

Sevigny's body shook, and his originally slightly excited expression instantly fell silent, and his face became a little gray.

After a long time, Sevigny let out a soft sigh.

"Xu Yi. You're finally speaking your mind. Are you still unwilling to give up on my struggle for the throne after all? You still have a grudge against me, right?"

Xu Yi shook his head slowly: "This statement is not accurate. Say I'm not reconciled, that is. After all, I've imagined many times that once you're on the throne, with your strong support for the magic industry, my dreams will come true. But how can I be willing to give up the fight for the throne altogether, but when it comes to resentment...... That's not going to happen. ”

"Really?"

"Really. Xu Yi nodded seriously. "As I said, whatever the decision, it is your own decision, and I have no right to interfere. If I really want to be resentful, there are many people in the kingdom who are far more qualified than me. But at this point, I have a question I can't help but want to ask you. Sevigny, do you really not regret your decision?"

A look of pain flashed across Sevigny's face, and he struggled for a long time before he shook his head lightly and sighed faintly, "I don't know ......"

"Don't you really know?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically. "Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid it's just that you don't want to face the reality, right? I don't believe you don't know what changes have taken place in the current Bangta City compared to when you were the city lord before. Imagine what would become of Bonta City if even our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce couldn't survive in Bangta City?"

The look of pain on Sevigny's face deepened a little, and he struggled to retort, "I want to...... In any case, it is much better than civil strife......"

Xu Yi sighed and shook his head, not wanting to continue to talk about this matter.

After all, he and Severny are in very different positions, in his opinion, if the Lampari Kingdom wants to be truly powerful, it must change, and the most likely thing to bring about this change is to put Sevenny on the throne and vigorously promote the development of the magic industry to improve the environment of the entire kingdom.

However, in Sevigny's view, she felt that it was most important to keep the kingdom stable and stable without civil strife.

It can't be said that she is wrong in this way, but at least for now, after Eric ascended to the throne, the entire kingdom has fallen into the hands of the stubborn old-school nobles who supported him on the throne.

The so-called support and promotion of the development of the magic industry also reduced the ten chambers of commerce to a means of amassing wealth for them.

It is impossible for Sevigny not to see this fact, but she can't do the kind of decisiveness that Xu Yi expected.

Of course, if she really had this kind of character, she would not have given up fighting for the throne at all.

Comparing Sevinny with the Anklew, who he had only met a few days ago, Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It would be perfect to be able to neutralize the personalities of these two people.

Of course, this is impossible, Xu Yi could only reverie in his mind for a while, and then immediately gave up this fantasy, looked at the sky outside, and stood up from his seat.

"Well, don't talk about these pointless things. It's almost time, Severny, let's go out together. In this joint operation, you are nominally the commander-in-chief. (To be continued......)
