Chapter 11: Mana Output Network
Newman is gone.
The negotiation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not go well, so he seemed a little preoccupied when he left, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with the result.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to strengthen its investment in the Ruerson Kingdom, and would try its best to assist the Ruerson Kingdom in creating a basic magic industry system, specifically it would transfer more magic machinery-related technologies to the Ruerson Kingdom for a fee, but Xu Yi has not given a clear answer to the military magic machinery that King Trutz is most concerned about.
Although Xu also promised that in the future, when the magic industry system of the Ruerson Kingdom was perfected, he would consider transferring some of the relevant technology of military magic machinery to the Ruerson Kingdom, but the specific timing of this so-called "future improvement" is really a very vague concept.
What's more, according to the situation described by Xu Yi, it would take at least three years just to create a basic magic industry system comparable to that of the Lampari Kingdom.
However, it takes at least five years to get Xu Yi's approval.
It is impossible for the Ruerson Kingdom to wait for five years so long, so Newman knows in his heart that even if His Majesty the King of Trutz is unwilling, in the end, he may only have to accept the only solution proposed by Xu Yi, which is to directly purchase military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Ruerson Kingdom's army and the balance of the Lampari Kingdom.
Times are different, and the war mode of fighting by armor and swords as before has long been pushed aside by the super power brought by the military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If the Ruerson Kingdom can't catch up, then it won't be long before the Lampari Kingdom is far behind.
Wait until the difference in strength between the two sides is big enough. The so-called "allies". It doesn't make any sense.
Ambassador Hakanin is also gone. And he and Newman left one after another.
In contrast to Newman, Ambassador Hakanin left with a rather satisfied appearance.
Although he, like Newman, could not get a clear answer from Xu Yi regarding military machinery, the Candela Empire was not very concerned about this matter in the first place, and Ambassador Hakanin naturally did not care much about it.
In comparison, he was more concerned about the large number of household magic machines that Xu Yi promised to provide him.
According to the agreement signed privately between Xu Yi and him, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will sell him a total of more than 30,000 units of various household magic machines at a price of 90% of the normal price, and the amount involved in the agreement is as high as 740,000 gold coins.
Ambassador Hakanin made an assessment in his mind. If he could bring these 30,000 units of various household magic machines back to the Candela Empire and sell them, with the thirst of those noble merchants for these novel household magic machines, he would at least be able to make an astonishing profit of more than 200,000 gold coins.
Even if he was more ruthless, the profit would only be higher.
So when he left the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Ambassador Hakanin smiled so much that his face seemed to be full of flowers, and it was extremely bright.
Although his position as the ambassador of the Candela Empire in the Kingdom of Ruerson was highly regarded and his status was extremely high, because he did not have any actual power, he was not very rich in oil and water.
In a year, it is extremely rare for him to be able to collect 40,000 or 50,000 gold coins.
And now it's just a trip to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It is possible to make a huge profit of more than 200,000 gold coins.
And in this he almost didn't have to do anything, because Xu Yi promised. Will personally send a convoy to deliver goods to the city of Kuraka, and even directly to the Candela Empire.
The only condition was that Ambassador Hakanin would be responsible for the transportation costs and the formalities for the convoy to enter the Kandela Empire.
It was natural to bear the transportation costs, and it was also an extremely simple matter for Ambassador Hakanin to let a small convoy enter the Candela Empire, so he agreed to this condition very easily.
Once the negotiations were settled, Ambassador Hakanin only had to return to Kulaka City and wait patiently.
When the convoy of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce arrives and returns to the Kandela Empire with Ambassador Hakanin, he can sit at home and wait to count the gold coins.
Ambassador Hakanin was extremely happy in his heart, but Xu Yi's joy in his heart was not necessarily much less than his.
After consulting with Newman, who represented the Ruerson Kingdom, although there was no clear result on the military magic machinery, it was a sure thing to deepen the cooperation with the Ruerson Kingdom in the field of civilian magic machinery.
According to the preferential conditions given by His Majesty King Trutz, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gain great convenience in the future in the Kingdom of Ruerson whether it is to invest in the construction of factories or the sale of magic machinery.
For example, the kingdom of Luxon will pass a resolution to classify magical machinery as a separate category of goods, and adopt a new tax collection system, instead of leviing according to the general standard of goods.
According to this new standard, when the new flying chamber sells magic machinery in the Ruerson Kingdom in the future, it will not only pay a 5% reduction in tariff, but also reduce the tax by about 3%.
Don't underestimate the numbers of five percent and three percent.
You must know that in the first half of this year alone, the profits of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the various magical machines sold in the Kingdom of Luerson have exceeded three million gold coins.
Five percent plus three percent of the words, but it directly saved nearly 300,000 gold coins for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is definitely not to be underestimated.
As for Ambassador Hakanin, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not get any direct benefits from the cooperation with Ambassador Hakanin, on the contrary, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needed to prevent a convoy from transporting goods to the Kandela Empire, even if Ambassador Hakanin was responsible for the transportation costs, in fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would still have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for this.
But the main significance of the cooperation with Ambassador Hakanin is to help the New Flying Chamber of Commerce open up the huge market of the Candela Empire.
Compared with the Lampari Kingdom, the Candela Empire has a land area dozens of times larger, and the population is also dozens of times larger, and this market is undoubtedly dozens of times larger.
If the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can enter the Candela Empire and gain a firm foothold in the Candela Empire, it will undoubtedly mean that the future of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is bright.
It's just a little loss, and it's nothing.
###
The sun had climbed overhead, and the hot eyes fell straight from above, turning everyone's shadows into a mass condensed at their feet.
From time to time, a few drops of hot sweat slipped from above, dripping onto the ground, creating a small patch of wetness on the sun-burned highway surface, and then it was evaporated in an instant.
Xu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, and asked Akali who was squatting on the ground in a slightly hoarse voice, "How is it?"
Akali looked up, her pretty face was covered with sweat, and her expression was slightly confused.
"Strange...... Supposedly, it should be okay, why is there still no response?"
Xu Yi looked down at a half-meter-square wooden platform placed in front of her, and found that the magic array engraved on the surface of the platform did not react, and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be ...... Failed?"
"Impossible!" Akali raised her voice and shook her head firmly. "This practice has been carried out by our group hundreds of times, and the last dozens of times have succeeded almost every time, and it is impossible to fail!"
Xu Yi nodded: "Well, I believe in your ability. But you don't have to rush, even if you fail once, it's okay. As I said, you are allowed to fail in the practical stage, but you cannot fail at will when you enter the practical application stage. ”
"It's all said that it won't fail!" Akali stomped her foot hard, stood up suddenly, and glanced at a high platform erected next to the road in the distance, and suddenly the magic power in her body flowed, and she flew up directly, and then her body moved, and flew towards the high platform.
Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This Akali really can't get rid of this urgency at any time.
Turning his head to look at the few young magicians standing next to the wooden platform wearing the uniforms of researchers of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi smiled and asked, "Have you done this hundreds of times?"
Several researchers looked at each other, and one of the older researchers replied respectfully, "Yes, Elder." Team leader Akali has been working on this magic transmission network since last year, and has done hundreds of experiments since he first started to do long-distance tests of magic transmission. Later, after a breakthrough in the magic transmission distance, the subsequent magic transmission network was laid into practice, and it has also been done hundreds of times until now. If we really want to count, we have done at least a thousand times on this subject. ”
"Oh, so Akali said less just now?" Xu Yibei glanced at the high platform in the distance, and found that Akali had already flown down on the high platform, as if he was hunched over to check something. "Well, since you've done so many experiments, I'm sure you're already very familiar with the subject, and nothing will go wrong. ”
"Yes!" Hearing Xu Yi's praise, several young research institutes all straightened their chests and said proudly: "We have spent so much effort on this, it is impossible to fail!"
"Yes, with Team Leader Akali under the leadership, we will definitely succeed!"
Xu Yi laughed, thinking that in the past few years, Akali has not only become a veteran senior researcher of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also established enough authority in the minds of the later research institutes.
At the very least, in the minds of the members of the research team she leads, her image must be very high.
"If they know what Akali looked like before, will it affect Akali's glorious image in their minds?" Xu Yi thought with some urgency.
His eyes fell back on the wooden platform, and Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
As for the idea of imitating the power grid on the earth to create a magic output network, Xu Yi only mentioned it to Akali, but he didn't expect Akali to devote himself wholeheartedly to it.
At present, one of the magic output network terminals represented by this wooden platform is still extremely immature and far from mature, but it means that this idea is very likely to become a reality. (To be continued......)
