Chapter 25 Communication Coverage
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the Marquis of Southgate with a strange expression.
This Marquis's proposal seems to be very reasonable at first glance, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't have to care about anything, just allows the other party to hang up its own sign, and there is no substantial loss at all.
But if you really investigate it, this is completely those decks on the earth that are hated by many manufacturers, or simply counterfeit famous brands, the consequences can be big or small, but in short, there is no benefit to the counterfeited famous brands.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't answer, the Marquis of Southgate seemed to suddenly remember something, and added with a smile: "I forgot to say it." President Xu, for the household magic machinery produced in this way, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can get a 30% profit share, do you think it is appropriate?"
Xu Yi blinked and shook his head slowly but firmly.
"No, I can't. ”
Marquis Southgate was stunned.
He thought that he had come to discuss with Xu Yi with good intentions, and even took the initiative to give up 30% of the profits to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was already enough for Xu Yi to save face.
If it weren't for the fact that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was now super famous on the entire continent and the strong influence that was gradually emerging within the Maro Empire, he would not have considered coming to discuss with Xu Yi at all, and would have started production directly a long time ago.
In the final analysis, it's just a sign of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, is it possible that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still dares to really come to him for trouble?
But I didn't expect Xu Yi to refuse so simply now, and he didn't even have a relaxed tone, which can be regarded as leaving no room at all.
"President Xu, what's wrong with this?" asked Marquis Southgate with a frown. "It's just to hang up the sign of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. And it doesn't affect anything. If you are afraid that the quality of the products we produce is insufficient. It has affected the reputation of your new flying chamber of commerce. Then you can send someone here to supervise and guide the production and ensure the quality. ”
Looking at Marquis Southgate's disapproving expression, Xu Yi almost couldn't help but sneer.
This marquis really has a good calculation, not only wants the household magic machinery under his name to be hung up with the brand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so as not to worry about sales, but even wants Xu Yi to take the initiative to send technicians to help him.
In this way, the products produced by this household magic machinery factory under the name of Marquis of Southgate can be completely comparable to the products made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, and at the same time, it can also hang the brand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. That is bound to be extremely popular, and the profit is absolutely extremely impressive.
And the price paid by the Marquis of Southgate was only 30% of the profit, and a part of the manpower that was nothing to him.
"No, Lord Marquis, it is impossible. Thinking of this, Xu Yi's tone was even firmer when he answered, and he put on a non-negotiable appearance. "Only the household magic machinery products produced by the factories that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has completely invested and controlled can be hung with the brand of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and any other similar products cannot. ”
Marquis Southgate frowned deeply: "Really?"
"Not really. ”
The Marquis of Southgate looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes, and Xu Yi stared at the same thing. There is not the slightest dodge.
After a moment, the corners of Marquis Southgate's mouth rose. Haha laughed.
"Well, since President Xu doesn't agree, then forget it. Well, now that I think about it, it's true that I thought it was too simple. President Xu, don't mind. ”
Xu Yi also laughed: "It's nothing, since everyone is a partner, if you have any ideas, you can put them forward quickly." Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't affect our relationship, does it?"
Marquis Southgate nodded: "Well, that's right, we still have a lot of places to cooperate, this time it won't work, and there will be a next time." ”
Looking at the smile on the face of the Marquis of Southgate, Xu Yi had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The Marquis of Southgate suddenly made this request, which was clearly a temptation.
But the result is that Xu Yi did not give him the slightest room for negotiation, which of course will affect the relationship between the two parties.
But Xu Yi couldn't help it, the Marquis of Southgate's request had already touched one of his principles, and he would never agree to it.
Rather than being ambiguous and vague, it may cause misunderstandings, so it is better to make it clear directly, put your own bottom line, and let the other party recognize the facts as soon as possible.
"By the way, Lord Marquis, last time you said that your personal guard wanted to change a batch of magic repeaters, right?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.
Marquis Southgate glanced at Xu Yi, his expression moved, and he nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes." However, last time, you said that your Chamber of Commerce has now greatly reduced the production of magic repeaters, and has instead concentrated on the production of higher-end military magic machines, so there is no way to supply them. ”
"Well, it was before. However, last month, the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom underwent a reload, and a batch of magical repeaters they used were eliminated. If you want, I can find a relationship with the Zhenbei Army, and take out a batch of eliminated magic repeaters and transport them to you. Xu Yidao.
"Really?" Marquis Southgate's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: "Since it was eliminated...... Isn't it all broken?"
"Only a small part is broken, and most of it is still good. Because it's just a normal dress-up, not really being eliminated. Xu also explained.
"Oh? That sounds pretty good. President Xu, can you really get some for me?"
"As long as you really need it, Lord Marquis, this matter will be covered with me. Xu Yizheng said.
Marquis Southgate groaned slightly, and nodded with a straight face: "Okay, I'll leave it to President Xu." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The Marquis of Southgate knew very well that Xu Yi suddenly mentioned this matter, obviously because he had rejected his request just now, and made compensation from other aspects.
In fact, if it was just a batch of magic repeaters, it was not particularly important in itself, but Xu Yi's attitude through this incident made the Marquis of Southgate very satisfied.
This proves that Xu Yi still hopes to continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with him, and as long as this is confirmed, a small setback is nothing.
For the next three days, Xu Yi stayed in the private domain of the Marquis of Southgate, and through the relationship of the Marquis of Southgate, he met and negotiated with the other nobles of the Marlo Empire who had already had many contacts with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Including Duke Macarus, who has the best personal relationship with Marquis Southgate, a total of seventeen large nobles of the Marlo Empire with the title of Marquis and above, and seventy-six counts and smaller nobles with the title of earl, have signed a letter of intent with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to set up a magical communication network.
Next, they will make a final decision based on the situation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Marquis of Southgate's private domain, and whether or not to set up a magic communication network in their own private domain.
The private domains of these nobles were all in the same province, and they were not too far from each other, and together they occupied more than a quarter of the province.
Akali and her team had already made detailed calculations on these private domains before, and finally came to the conclusion that if the magic communication network could be successfully set up in all these nobles' private domains, then with the maximum transmission distance of the magic signal tower signal had broken through to an ultra-long distance of eight kilometers, the final magic signal coverage would not only be a quarter of the area of this province, but close to half!
Next, it is only necessary to set up a part of the magic signal tower used to connect in the middle of these nobles' private territories as a relay, so that the magic signals can be transmitted in these nobles' private territories without barriers, so that they can talk through the magic communication network at any time.
Once this goal is achieved, the coverage area of the magic communication network will be more than half of the province, and it will not be too far from covering the entire province.
Of course, the reason why these nobles chose to lay out the magic communication network so actively, in addition to the Marquis of Southgate taking the first step in front, the most important reason is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the high-level of the Marlo Empire reached an agreement and decided to try to promote the magic network communication within the Maro Empire.
The Marquis of Southgate's private domain was selected as a pilot, and the other nobles involved were partly moved by the Marquis of Southgate's words, and partly on their own initiative.
It is now different from a few years ago, under the vigorous publicity of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, most of the countries and people on the continent of Sainz have correctly recognized the role of the magic communication network, and will not regard it as an evil magic tower that can control people's hearts as if it was thousands of years ago.
So even if the new flying chamber doesn't say it, there are still a lot of people willing to try this legendary magical device that allows you to have a conversation with other people who are far away.
According to the preliminary plan, after the magic communication network is successfully set up in the private territories of these nobles, if the Maro Empire finds the effect satisfactory, it will be further promoted throughout the province, and the ultimate goal is to make the magic communication signal cover the entire Maro Empire.
For Xu Yi, his first goal is to simultaneously develop the magic communication network in the Maro Empire and the Falk Kingdom, and then connect the magic communication networks of the two countries together, and then successfully connect to the magic communication network of the Principality of Drake.
In the end, it can be fully integrated into the magic communication network that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has basically completed in the Duchy of Stantin, the Lampari Kingdom, and the Ruerson Kingdom.
If this goal is achieved, these countries will be able to communicate over long distances without barriers, which will bring great convenience.
As far as Xu Yi is concerned, at least he doesn't need to do anything casually, he has to personally come to the Maro Empire, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away.
With so much time, he might as well spend more time at home with the kids...... (To be continued......)
