Chapter 84: You're Not Qualified to Talk About Cooperation
Hearing this sound that was as sharp as a male duck's throat, Xu Yi's gaze couldn't help but stay on his smooth and slippery face, not to mention that he didn't have half a beard and even had little hair, for two more seconds, and then a term that was almost completely forgotten by him flashed in his mind.
Eunuch.
Yes, this old man is very likely to be an extremely rare eunuch on the Sainz continent.
Eunuchs are extremely rare creatures on the continent of Sainz, and at present, it is said that zài is only stored in the imperial palaces of the Candela Empire, which is similar to the eunuchs in ancient Chinese imperial palaces on Earth.
In addition, even the royal palace of the Maro Empire does not contain such a creature as zài.
And in the royal palaces of small countries such as the Lampari Kingdom, the Ruerson Kingdom, and so on, there will be no such creatures at all.
When Lampari XIII and King Eric were alive before, there were many men in the palace of the Lampari Kingdom, but there were no eunuchs, and after Sevini took over the throne, all the attendants in the palace were replaced by maids, and it was impossible to have eunuchs.
Therefore, it has been more than eight years since Xu Yi traveled to this world, but he has never seen a eunuch, and even heard that he only mentioned it once in a book that introduced the traditional customs of the Sainz continent.
Now that he saw a eunuch appear in front of him, the expression on Xu Yi's face couldn't help but become a little strange.
Although it was only a fleeting strange expression, the old eunuch was keenly aware of it.
His face was already not very good-looking, but now it became even more ugly.
"Hey, I ask you. Are you Xu Yi?" asked the old eunuch, whom Baron Bilrel called the head of Mancini, raised his voice and asked again.
Xu Yi immediately withdrew his gaze. He bowed to Chief Mancini. smiled and said, "Yes, I am Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." May I ask you are Lord Mancini, the head of the internal affairs of His Royal Highness Prince Frank?"
Seeing Xu Yi's respectful attitude, Mancini's expression eased slightly, nodded slightly, and snorted from his nostrils: "That's right, I am." President Xu, we have come to see you this time on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, so you must already know what we are here for, right?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly. His gaze swept over the five stocky-looking young men standing behind Mancini's manager.
"These should be the racers sent by His Royal Highness the Prince to participate in the race, right?"
"No, they're all my bodyguards, and he's the racer for this race. Chief Mancini shook his head, but pointed behind the five strong men.
Xu Yi looked over in surprise and saw five strong men step out of the way, revealing a thin-looking young boy hiding behind them.
The boy looked like he was probably not more than twenty years old, but he didn't look very thin, but he looked a little thinner than the five strong men.
Seeing Xu Yi's gaze coming over, he also raised his head and looked over. His eyes were full of curiosity and ...... Provocation.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that such young people could be seen everywhere. I just don't know where Prince Frank got it from.
"Since it was carefully selected by His Royal Highness the Prince, he must have excellent driving skills. I just don't know...... Has he ever had a driver's license?"
Xu Yi glanced at the boy, but asked a question that made everyone stunned for a moment.
A bunch of people looked at each other, only Baron Billier had a strange expression, and the chief Mancini was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Driver's license?
Xu also roughly explained the role of the driver's license, but immediately received a sneer from Mancini's manager.
"We, the people from the Candela Empire, still need to be recognized by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom? His Royal Highness the Prince admits that he can drive, so he can drive. In addition, His Majesty the Prince often drives a magic car now, does President Xu want His Royal Highness the Prince to also take the driver's license test?"
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, not intending to dwell on this issue more.
"Okay then, but whatever...... Please also ask him to at least abide by the traffic rules here in the past few days, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be very troublesome. ”
Chief Mancini glared: "What? Who would dare to come to us for trouble?"
Catching a glimpse of the disdainful expressions on the faces of the young boy and the five guards, Xu Yi was able to fully understand what the people around him had said when they described the Candela Empire to him.
This huge empire, except for the Maro Empire, is always so high in the face of other countries.
Xu Yi didn't plan to pursue this issue too much, anyway, they would only stay here for a few days, and they would go back after participating in the competition, as long as they paid a little attention, there shouldn't be any problems.
After a pause, Xu Yi began to discuss with Mancini the details of participating in the competition.
But he had barely finished speaking when he was interrupted by a wave of his hand from the head of Mancini.
"You don't need to tell me about these little things, I have other things to discuss with you, President Xu. ”
With that, Chief Mancini looked at Baron Billier.
Baron Bilier immediately understood, got up and greeted the chief mancini, and then glanced at Xu Yi, and left the meeting room, and at the same time called the two maids in charge of the costume out together.
Then the five guards and the young boy left the parlor together, leaving only Xu Yi and Mancini inside.
The room fell silent for a while, Xu Yi glanced at the head of Mancini, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Lord Manager, please speak." ”
Chief Mancini did not speak immediately, but looked Xu Yi up and down several times, as if to see through his whole body.
Xu Yi looked very tidy, still sitting there very casually, smiling, and calmly maintaining his gaze with Mancini's manager.
After a while, the chief manager of Mancini withdrew his gaze and nodded, but snorted lightly, not knowing what he was saying about Xu Yi's expression.
"Ahem...... President Xu, the last time you met with Cuomo, you proposed a joint investment in the opening of a magical machinery factory in the empire, right?"
"Yes, Lord Steward. Xu Yi chuckled and nodded. "I only had a rough idea of this mention at the time, but after I came back, after careful consideration, I have resummarized this proposal and made a detailed plan. ”
Xu Yi said as he took out a copy of the text from the bag he was carrying and handed it to the chief manager of Mancini.
"Please, Lord Steward, take a look. This plan contains a very detailed plan, and I am sure that His Royal Highness will be satisfied. And if His Royal Highness agrees to this cooperation, I believe that His Royal Highness will be able to benefit from it at least one million gold coins every year. ”
Manager Mancini glanced at the plan in Xu Yi's hand, but he didn't reach out to take it, but waved his hand and said very coldly: "Don't read it." President Xu, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Prince to agree to this plan. ”
Xu Yi was stunned, and couldn't help frowning: "Why, I think this plan is very beneficial to His Royal Highness, not to mention that you haven't read it, Lord Steward......"
"I said no, don't look. Chief Mancini snorted. "President Xu, I have to warn you, you don't seem to have figured out who you are. ”
Xu Yi's brows furrowed even tighter.
"I don't understand what you mean, Lord Steward. ”
"I don't understand, Baron Bilier has always praised you for being a smart man in front of me, but now it seems that you are not very good. Director Mancini shook his head. "President Xu, don't you know, after all, you're just a small merchant in the Duchy of Stantin, but you keep saying that you want to cooperate with our Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Candela Empire, don't you think...... Isn't that funny?"
Xu Yi looked at the mocking expression on the face of Director Mancini, and the undisguised condescension in his eyes, sighed in his heart, soothed his brows, and regained his composure.
"Then the Chief, it's up to you...... Oh no, according to His Royal Highness, how should we cooperate?"
"Let me remind you once again, you are not qualified to discuss any cooperation with His Royal Highness. It's just that you're lucky, His Royal Highness happens to be a little interested in this magic car from your Chamber of Commerce, so you are specifically allowed to give him something in exchange for some of his trust in you. Do you understand?"
Xu Yi shook his head honestly: "I'm sorry, Lord Steward, I still don't understand." ”
The chief mancini sighed, looked like an unteachable child, shook his head, and continued: "Well, then I will explain it to you more clearly. As long as you are willing to be honest and obedient and make His Royal Highness happy, then if you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce want to do something in our Candela Empire in the future, it is possible to get His Royal Highness to take care of it, which is much more convenient. If you can make the prince more satisfied in the future, you will be more taken care of. Now you get the idea, right?"
A strange smile flashed across Xu Yi's face, and he nodded lightly: "Yes, I understand." So how does His Royal Highness want to get along with us...... No, what do you want us to do?"
Hearing that Xu Yi's tone had changed, the chief Mancini nodded with satisfaction, took out a thin piece of Wen Jiàn from his arms and threw it to Xu Yi.
"This is an agreement drawn up by His Royal Highness the Prince, you can read it, and then sign it. ”
Xu Yi took it, opened it, and found that it was indeed an agreement. The final party was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the other party was a chamber of commerce that Xu Yi had never heard of at all.
"Don't be surprised, it's a chamber of commerce that belongs to His Royal Highness, you know. Director Mancini explained.
Xu Yi nodded and began to watch the contents of the agreement.
After watching it for less than half a minute, the corners of Xu Yi's mouth couldn't help but sneer.
Hey, His Royal Highness Prince Frank, what a high posture and a big appetite!(To be continued......)
