Chapter 18: Absolute Dominance
"President Xu, our Magicians Guild has formulated the rules for determining the level of magicians in the mainland since 1,300 years ago, and after more than 1,300 years of accumulation, we already have countless experiences and strong reserves in this area, so I think that if we can cooperate on the evaluation of magicians' magical machinery professional skills, we will definitely save a lot of effort, what do you think?" said Ferguson Archmagician with a sincere face.
Xu Yi shook his head with a smile: "Ferguson Magician, I think you have made a mistake? The professional skill rating of magic machinery mainly evaluates the degree of professional knowledge and skills related to magic machinery that magicians have mastered, which is different from the assessment of magic level conducted by the magician union." ”
"But after all, it's all about magicians and the magic they wield, isn't it?" retorted Archmagician Ferguson. "President Xu, you have to believe that our Wizards' Guild has a history of more than a thousand years in this area, and we are extremely experienced in any judgment related to magic, and we are also extremely meticulous and precise, if you cooperate with us, I can guarantee that you can immediately obtain the most professional and detailed evaluation criteria, without the need to slowly explore it yourself. ”
"Well, I agree with the Wizards' Guild's specialization in magic. But in terms of skills and knowledge related to magic machinery, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" Xu Yi casually took out a document from the table and handed it to the Great Magician of Ferguson. "Here's a study on the fit of the magic array output and the thirteen types of steel, which is one of the criteria we use to judge whether a mage is proficient in drawing magic arrays on magic machines. I think...... Not only the Great Wizard of Ferguson, but I'm afraid that not many people in the headquarters of the Wizards' Union will be able to understand it. ”
"You say we can't read it?" said Ferguson Archmage frowned slightly. The face is a little ugly.
Although it is true that he has little technical knowledge of magical machinery. But as a great magician. How could he not understand something related to the magic array.
He took the material rather unconvinced and looked through it carefully.
However, when he turned the first page, the expression on his face turned into anger and disbelief and confusion.
When he had been reading the research report, which was not too thick, all the expressions on his face had become dazed.
"This ......" Ferguson Wizard held the research report in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
He must admit that he really can't understand this research report.
Not to mention the various strange steel models above, steel toughness, magic power, magic resistance, etc., he couldn't figure out what he was talking about, and he couldn't even figure out what the functions and principles of the magic arrays used as examples in the report were.
It was simply too much of a surprise to him.
"The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild is willing to change its mindset and cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce. That's a good thing, and I welcome it. Looking at the expression on the face of the Great Magician of Ferguson, Xu Yi smiled slightly: "But the Great Magician of Ferguson, please tell the others in the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild when you go back, although the magic industry is closely related to the magic field you are familiar with in the past, it is a completely new industrial field, if you can't put down the shelf and study it seriously, don't think about participating casually." ”
Xu Yi said this unceremoniously, but the Ferguson Grand Magician's face was blue and white, but he was powerless to refute it at all.
Not even he, the great magician, could read a very ordinary-looking research report. Not to mention the other mages in the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild who don't give a damn about magical machines.
Of course, he couldn't just give up on the mission he had come here so easily. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, President Xu, I admit that we don't know enough about magic machinery. But I think it's still possible for us to work together. At the very least, our magician guild has the most complete magician rating mechanism, if you borrow our hands to evaluate the professional skills of magic machinery, it can save you a lot of manpower and capital investment, and you can also save a lot of time. ”
"Yes, I don't deny that. Xu Yi nodded. "But I'm still saying that, it's okay if you want to cooperate, but first I ask you to lower your profile and learn what the magic industry is all about. In addition, even if it is cooperation, I need our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to occupy an absolute dominant position. Would you like to agree to that?"
"This ......," Ferguson archmagician hesitated again.
Before this, why did the Wizards' Guild have such a high reputation on the continent of Sainz?
In addition to the fact that it has a long history, the most important thing is that the Mage's Guild has mastered the hierarchy of all mages on the continent of Sainz, and it is recognized by all people and all countries on the continent of Sainz.
Therefore, if a magician wants to get ahead, the first thing he needs is to obtain any of the magicians' guild and give a corresponding rating.
In this way, it is equivalent to the magicians' union completely mastering the lifeblood of almost all magicians on this continent, and they can't help but obey the arrangements of the magicians' union.
The reason why the Wizards Guild was so hostile to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, and even did not hesitate to break with it completely, was because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce used the promotion of the magic industry led by itself to try to re-establish an alternative magician rating rules that were completely independent of the Wizards' Guild.
The practice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is tantamount to directly digging into the corners and lifelines of the Magician Guild, how can the Magician Guild let it go.
However, when all the restrictions and obstruction strategies of the Wizards Guild against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce failed, and even the direct dispatch of the Magister to attack the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a last resort ended in failure, this made the Wizards Guild completely lose the ability to compete with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce head-on.
So after five years of silence, the Wizards' Guild clearly recognized the unstoppable spread of the magic industry on the Sainz continent, and had to bow its head and take the initiative to seek the cooperation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The headquarters of the Wizards Guild can take the initiative to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the evaluation of magicians, which is already a great concession, but now Xu Yi actually asks them to occupy an absolute dominant position in the cooperation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is equivalent to treating the headquarters of the Magicians Guild as a vassal, how could this Ferguson magician agree.
"President Xu, we can discuss this point later. The first thing you need to make sure is, are you willing to work with us?" asked the Grand Wizard of Ferguson not to veto it directly, but to avoid the topic.
"Yes, I didn't say it from the beginning. Xu Yi spread his hands and said very calmly.
"Well, I'll take your attitude back with me. As for how to cooperate, I think we can have in-depth discussions and exchanges in the future. The Ferguson Archmage nodded, and suddenly the conversation changed. "But before that, I don't think you will refuse another request for our cooperation, right?"
"Oh? ”
"This is a letter of intent for cooperation that I have brought, please take a look. The Ferguson Wizard was clearly prepared, and took out a thick document from his bag and handed it over.
"Letter of intent to cooperate?" Xu Yi was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
The Wizards' Guild has offered a letter of intent to cooperate with other organizations in the cellar, which hasn't happened for hundreds of years, right?
Xu Yi took this letter of intent for cooperation and flipped through it casually, and saw that the above content was summarized as the Magicians Union hoped to be able to purchase a series of more basic magic machinery-related technologies from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time hoped to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to use the huge magician resources owned by the Magicians Union to create a professional magic machinery technology research institution.
Of course, the former request is no problem, after all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already disclosed a lot of basic magic machinery-related technologies, and the price is clearly marked, and anyone with money can buy it.
The latter requirement is debatable.
That's right, although the prestige of the Magician Guild on the mainland is not as good as before, the magician resources it has are undoubtedly very large.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can really cooperate with the Magician Guild to establish a professional research institute for magic machinery technology, then as long as the two sides work together, they will definitely be able to greatly improve the technology related to magic machinery.
However, even if Xu Yi thought about it with his toes, it was absolutely impossible for the headquarters of the Magician Guild to wholeheartedly organize magicians to devote themselves to the research of magical machinery-related technologies as he idealized.
Their greatest wish must be to overwhelm the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in technology, so as to replace the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi did not rule out that there were other organizations that surpassed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in terms of magic machinery-related technology, and even hoped that such a situation would occur.
But this is not now, and it must not be, the uneasy and well-intentioned Wizards' Guild.
However, after pondering for a moment, Xu Yi nodded slowly.
"Yes. Of course, it's okay to buy these technologies, but there are a few of them that our Chamber of Commerce doesn't indicate that they are willing to sell......"
"Of course we will pay a sufficient price. The Ferguson Grand Magician said immediately. "President Xu, you have to believe that our Magician Guild has such a long history on the mainland, and it will definitely have some capital. For example...... This ......"
Watching the great magician of Ferguson take out a thin booklet from his arms, Xu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly.
This guy doesn't have to say it clearly at one time, and he has to squeeze it out little by little, which is really a waste of time.
However, after taking the thin-looking weightless booklet and opening it, Xu Yi involuntarily sat up straight, his eyes widening slightly.
If what this booklet says is true, it's a great value! (To be continued......
