The negotiation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy is of course not just the New Flying Chamber of Commerce unilaterally fulfilling the demands put forward by the Candela Imperial Navy.

In fact, in this consultation between the two sides, solving the problem of follow-up maintenance of the frigate is only the foundation, and what really needs to be seriously discussed by the two sides is the request made by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to the Candela Imperial Navy.

According to the agreement signed between the two sides, the Candela Imperial Navy will purchase three frigates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at a price of 500,000 gold coins each, and it must be supplemented by various other relevant conditions to meet the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the gap between the 1.5 million gold coins will not be so light to fill.

After leaving his subordinates to negotiate the details of the follow-up maintenance of the frigate, Russell led Xu Yi to another room in the barracks.

Here, waiting for Xu Yi was a middle-aged man who was slightly chubby, with a kind smile on his face, and his eyes radiated a shrewd light, looking far more like a businessman than a soldier.

In fact, he was indeed a businessman.

"President Xu, this is Roberto Zeni, the president of the Lavender Chamber of Commerce. ”

The middle-aged man immediately put on a warm smile, grabbed Xu Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "President Xu, if you meet for the first time, please take care of me in the future." ”

"Wherever and where, everyone will cooperate with each other in the future, and there is nothing to care about. ”

Xu Yi said politely, and at the same time looked at Roberto Zeni seriously.

This lavender chamber of commerce is quite famous in the Candela Empire, and among the first-class chambers of commerce in the Candela Empire that Xu Yidi heard about, including the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

But I didn't expect it. Behind this lavender chamber of commerce is actually the Candela Imperial Navy.

But that's not surprising.

A first-class chamber of commerce that can gain a foothold within the Candela Empire. There's no support behind that.

The reason why the Lavender Chamber of Commerce did not become one of the most powerful super-first-class chambers within the Candela Empire. In Xu Yi's opinion, maybe he was still dragged down by the Candela Imperial Navy.

At least in Xu Yi's opinion, these guys in the Candela Imperial Navy really don't have any business minds.

Some individuals in the navy may be able to make a lot of money, but it is too far to improve the dire situation of the Imperial Navy.

"President Xu, in fact, I have long been very interested in the various magic machinery products of your Chamber of Commerce, even if I don't have this meeting today, sooner or later I will take the initiative to seek cooperation with President Xu. And now with the introduction of Lord Russell. That's even more convenient. ”

Looking at President Zeni with a warm smile on his face, Xu Yi didn't respond enthusiastically, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said unceremoniously: "President Zeni, if you come to discuss cooperation with me about magic machinery this time, then I can only express my apologies." ”

President Zeni and Russell were stunned, the two looked at each other, Russell frowned and asked, "President Xu, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Yi sighed. Pointing to the outside of the room, he said, "Lord Russell, President Zeni." Your subordinates are the most powerful water force in the Candela Empire, and even in the entire Sainz Continent, don't you think it's too stingy to take advantage of the endless sea outside, but only consider cooperating with our Chamber of Commerce in the field of magical machinery?"

President Zeni and Russell looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"President Xu, isn't your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce mainly engaged in magic machinery? If we don't cooperate with you in magic machinery, can we find other cooperation directions?" Russell asked with a frown.

"No, no, no, you're getting a mistake. Of course, the cooperation in the field of magic machinery is what I look forward to the most, because I very much want to spread the magic machinery of our Chamber of Commerce in a large area within the Candela Empire, so that we can gain a huge market. ”

"That's exactly what we were thinking about. Why did you veto it, President Xu?" asked President Zeni, puzzled.

"I mean, we don't have to be limited to just selling our Chamber of Commerce's products to the Candela Empire, are we? According to me, the Lavender Chamber of Commerce's main business is all kinds of seafood, am I right? President Zeni?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.

President Zeni was slightly startled.

He thought that Xu Yi should know about his lavender chamber of commerce for the first time, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to say that their main business is seafood business, which shows that he has long had a certain understanding of the lavender chamber of commerce.

"Yes. With the strong support of the Imperial Navy, it would be foolish if we did not know how to use the resources of the sea. President Zeni replied with a smile.

"Well, that's right. But President Zeney, it seems to me that you are not taking advantage of it enough. The resources on this sea are almost endless, and the resources that your Chamber of Commerce can use are probably less than one ten-thousandth of them. ”

President Zeni frowned: "President Xu, what do you mean by talking for a long time?"

Xu Yi smiled, took out a map from his arms, and spread it out on the table.

Russell and Zeni looked around and found that it was a map of the southern seas of the Sainz continent.

After taking a closer look, a hint of surprise flashed in Russell's eyes.

Maps of the southern seas are of course available in the Imperial Navy, and they are far more detailed than those on the market.

But compared with the map Xu Yi took out, the map in the Imperial Navy Staff was so crude that people couldn't look at it directly.

"President Zeni, your Lavender Chamber of Commerce is mainly engaged in seafood, specifically, mainly all kinds of marine fish, kelp, coral stones, and other things, right?"

President Zeni became more and more sure that Xu Yi must have investigated his lavender chamber of commerce, otherwise he would not have known so clearly.

"That's right, President Xu, do you have any opinions?"

"Heh, President Zeni, have you noticed that the seafood that your Chamber of Commerce currently deals in is mainly concentrated in the offshore area?"

Looking at Xu Yi's drawing an arc on the map on the surface of the sea not far from the land, Chairman Zeni was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this? With the current ability of fishermen, at most they can only fish at such a distance from the land." We can't get them deeper into the ocean. The deep sea can be quite dangerous. How can fishermen risk their lives......"

President Zeni paused. looked at Xu Yi blankly.

He suddenly remembered that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in front of him, where President Xu belonged, had already invented a powerful sea ship made of steel, and could even enter the deep sea for hundreds of kilometers to go back and forth freely?

Ordinary fishermen do not have access to the deep sea because the boats they use are inadequate, and at best they can only fish inshore.

And even the large wooden warships of the Candela Imperial Navy could not enter the real deep sea.

Therefore, even if countless people know that there are more huge and attractive resources in the deep sea, they are limited by their capabilities. Everyone can only watch.

And now these powerful steel sea ships produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can enter the deep sea very easily, doesn't that mean that the deep-sea resources that they could only covet silently before have become within reach?

Thinking of this, President Zeni's breathing suddenly became slightly short, and he looked at Xu Yi with blazing eyes.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Yi knew that he must have understood what he wanted to express, so he smiled and clicked on the deep sea represented on the map, and said to President Zeni: "Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce not only produces large transport magic ships and combat frigates, but also deep-sea fishing magic ships for fishing. President Zeni, is your Chamber of Commerce interested in this?"

###

Five days later. The delegation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, led by Xu Yi, concluded consultations with the Candela Imperial Navy.

According to the results of the negotiations, the new flying chamber will be solely responsible for the follow-up maintenance of all frigates sold to the Candela Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy of Candela was guaranteed to be able to use these frigates with confidence.

At the same time, the Candela Imperial Navy identified the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as its partner, and regarded the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet as an ally fleet, giving the New Flying Chamber of Commerce the right to travel freely in the waters of the Candela Empire, and also opening the three ports in the southern part of the empire to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet for its use.

In addition, the Candela Imperial Navy also signed an agreement with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to develop the southern waters of the Candela Empire, first of all, it is expected to set up fixed magic signal towers on a number of small islands in the southern sea within two years, and set up a magic communication network, striving to cover the southern seas.

Correspondingly, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gave the Candela Imperial Navy 500 magic call boxes, which can be used by the Candela Imperial Navy to make free calls within five kilometers.

These are only the results of the agreement between the two sides on the surface, and in private, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has also reached an agreement with the Candela Imperial Navy that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will inject funds to develop six mines in the two small countries attached to the southeast of the Candela Empire.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not directly benefit from these six mines, but all the ore mined by these six mines is sold to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at market prices.

In addition, the Candela Imperial Navy will also assist the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in opening sales channels in the Candela Empire through Guò's personal connections, and the first step is to obtain a special quota for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for foreign chambers of commerce.

This quota can be regarded as the recognition of the chambers of commerce of other countries in the Candela Empire, and the chambers of commerce that can be recognized can be regarded as well-known chambers of commerce on the mainland.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can obtain this place, it will not only open up the reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Candela Empire, but also enable the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to have a formal channel to enter the Candela Empire, which is of great significance.

In addition to the agreement signed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy, it is mainly the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lavender Chamber of Commerce.

President Zeni was very interested in the civilian magic deep-sea fishing boat that Xu Yi said, and he didn't care that Xu Yi's boat was still under development and had not actually been produced at all, so he had already determined the cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, hoping to buy at least five from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi naturally agreed.

In addition, Xu also told President Zeni that he could use the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide the Lavender Chamber of Commerce with information about the deep-sea resources in the southern waters of the Candela Empire, so that they could collect and fish in the future.

There is no need to wait for this cooperation, and the two sides agreed that it will officially start in a month.

As for other aspects, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also provide the Lavender Chamber of Commerce with several cold tanks in the large transport fleet, and transport some of the special fish from the southern seas of the Candela Empire to other places by sea for sale, which is equivalent to further assisting the Lavender Chamber of Commerce to expand the market.

Correspondingly, the Lavender Chamber of Commerce will share its sales channels within the Candela Empire with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although seafood and magic machinery are incompatible, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs a channel to spread magic machinery in the Candela Empire, and as for the specific sales situation, Xu Yi is not worried at all.

This negotiation can be said to have made both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lavender Chamber of Commerce very fruitful, even if they feel that the follow-up maintenance cost of the frigate is too high, and feel that the Candela Imperial Navy has been pitted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are also extremely satisfied because they can obtain a lot of benefits from jointly developing mines with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When they finally parted, they were naturally happy.

It's just that when bidding farewell to Xu Yi, Russell couldn't help but pull Xu Yi and secretly asked a question.

"President Xu, you magic airship...... When will it go on sale, and what will you expect to sell it for?"

Looking at Russell with an expectant face, Xu Yi couldn't help but have a heartfelt smile on his face.

I thought he didn't ask this question for the past few days because he wasn't interested, but he just forcibly held back and asked it now.

"Well...... The sale is sure to sell, and when it will be sold publicly, it may be until next year at the earliest. As for the pre-sale price...... Now I can't tell......"

Xu Yi snickered in his heart while perfunctory Russell's question.

This Russell can be said to be a big fish that he caught with a frigate at the beginning, and now he has taken the initiative to get on the big hook of the magic airship, which is really emotional.

Lord Russell, why are you so cooperative? (To be continued......)
