"Two hundred thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi glanced at King Trutz in surprise, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, you are really generous. Of course, this Ambassador Hakanin has a really big appetite. ”

"He's always had a big appetite. King Trutz smiled. "But this time, the 200,000 gold coins, I'm completely for you. ”

"For me?" Xu was even more surprised. "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have such a big face...... It's worth spending a full 200,000 gold to settle this matter. ”

"200,000 gold coins may be a lot for others, but is it a lot for you?" King Trutz glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully. "President Xu, if I'm not wrong in my estimate, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profit last year would have exceeded at least five million gold coins, right?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, and did not deny it.

"I'll admit that our new flying business will make a decent profit, but we also spend a lot. And...... Your Majesty, what does this have to do with your willingness to spend 200,000 gold coins for this?"

King Trutz shook his head: "President Xu, I don't think we should waste time talking nonsense here. Since you want me to show my sincerity, I have shown it now. Although 200,000 gold coins may not be a lot for you, but for me, and even for our Kingdom of Ruersun, it is not a number that can be thrown out at will. I've shown enough sincerity, so what about you, President Xu?"

Xu Yi was a little surprised.

Although from the information that Kennard had collected about the Trutz king, as well as some observations of the Ruerson Kingdom, Xu also deduced that the Trutz king was a very idealistic and ambitious person. A more visionary king. That's why I deliberately took the opportunity to make such a scene. It is to test the attitude of King Trutz and the entire Ruerson Kingdom towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But Xu Yi never thought that King Trutz would show his attitude to Xu Yi so directly and straightforwardly.

As King Trutz said, in this matter, he paid the price of 200,000 gold coins to appease Ambassador Hakanin's anger, and indeed showed very high sincerity to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, put away his smile, nodded to King Trutz, and said, "Your Majesty." I must say that your attitude surprised me very much. Actually, I'm here with a lot of trepidation, because I'm not sure what you're thinking. ”

"So you understand now?" said King Trutz laughed.

"Yes. I am a businessman, so from these 200,000 gold coins, you can feel your sincerity very intuitively. Obviously, I must respond accordingly to your sincerity. Xu Yi paused and asked, "Your Majesty, please put forward your thoughts, or directly state your request." ”

"What if I ask you for technology for military magic machines?" asked King Trutz with a smile.

"That can't be. Xu Yi shook his head resolutely. "There is no way to transfer this technology at the moment, and there is no room for negotiation on this. ”

"Really?" King Trutz snorted softly. "President Xu. Don't forget, you're in my palace right now. As long as I give an order, I can arrest you lightly. Do you think it's possible to trade your life for the technology of military magic machines?"

"No way. Xu Yi didn't look threatened at all because of these words, but smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you won't do this, because your real expectations are far more than the technology of some military magic machines. ”

"Do you think you know me very well?" King Trutz narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "President Xu, don't look down on your own value too much. In my opinion, the value of you alone is even greater than the two armies of our kingdom. ”

"Oh, thank you very much, Your Majesty. Xu Yi smiled and said, "But because of this, you won't threaten me with your life, will you?"

King Trutz snorted: "You're right. You are far more useful alive than dead. At the very least, I don't want you to die until I squeeze out the value of you. ”

Xu Yi smiled and spread his hands: "Okay, I'll be here now." Your Majesty, how do you want to drain my value?"

King Trutz looked at Xu Yi, a smile reappeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly: "Sure enough, I can't treat you as an ordinary businessman." Well, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business. President Xu, on behalf of the Kingdom of Ruersun, I agree with the two cooperation projects proposed by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the specific details need to be re-discussed. ”

"Thank you for your approval. But what are the main details that you need to discuss?"

"The specific details will be discussed by your Chamber of Commerce and the relevant departments of the kingdom, and I will only give you a general idea here. ”

Xu Yi nodded: "Please make it clear." ”

"First of all, it's about the port charter of Nissi. It's okay for you newcomers to ask for long-term charters, but I don't agree to asking for a leased port where you can only park your newcomers' boats. ”

"Oh, why?" Xu Yi asked.

"Because it's the territory of our Ruerson Kingdom, do you know what I mean?" said King Trutz in a deep voice.

Xu Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand, Your Majesty, do you think that according to the requirements of our Chamber of Commerce, it will seem that the port has lost its sovereignty?"

"It's good that you understand. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Xu Yi asked again. "If it's just an ordinary port, then I don't think our Chamber of Commerce needs to ask you for a lease at all, don't you think?"

"Of course, I will still give you some privileges from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. King Trutz said: "I will grant a few special ports in Nissi City to allow the ships of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce to dock first, but when the ships of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce are not available, other ships can dock as well." Then you only need to pay a certain amount of management fees every year. What do you think of that?"

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Then what if the ships of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce arrive at the port, but find that other ships have been docked in the port?"

"It's simple, it only needs to be notified in advance. King Trutz waved his hand. "These are all details, you go to discuss with the City Lord of Nissi City, I just put forward my own requirements, and you can talk about the rest by yourself. ”

Xu Yi thought about it, although he felt that this plan was not so perfect, but it was acceptable, so he nodded.

"Then so be it, our Chamber of Commerce will abide by Your Majesty's wishes and negotiate with the City Lord's Mansion of Nixi City. So, what are your instructions for the second project?"

"The second collaboration...... I don't have any opinion on the cooperation project itself, but President Xu, I have some different ideas about the way you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce chooses. ”

"Oh, is there anything you don't like about the way you work together?"

"It's not dissatisfied. Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has invested in the construction of seventeen magic machinery factories in our Ruerson Kingdom so far, and has recruited a total of 6,423 local workers in our Ruerson Kingdom within this year, and has made a great contribution to solving the work problems of the people of the kingdom and improving their living conditions, and I am very satisfied with this. ”

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, but this is just something we should do, and it doesn't deserve your special praise." ”

"Before you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came, none of these things existed. King Trutz shook his head. "If it weren't for seeing the changes that the arrival of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has brought to our kingdom, do you think you would have the opportunity to stand here and talk to me today?"

"If I didn't have this value, I wouldn't have come here today, would I?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

King Trutz laughed: "President Xu, you are really different from ordinary businessmen. Okay, I will never deny your value, and I appreciate the value of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even more, but President Xu, don't you think it...... Are you Xinfei Guild taking too slow steps and too much caution in our Ruerson Kingdom?"

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

King Trutz waved his hand: "I mean very simply. Our Ruerson Kingdom is not the Lampari Kingdom, and I am not the old Lampari XIII and the current useless Eric before your Lampari Kingdom, you don't need to have the same scruples about our Ruerson Kingdom because of what happened to the Lampari Kingdom. ”

Xu Yi smiled and did not speak.

In fact, King Trutz is right, it is precisely because of the repeated suppression of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Lampari Kingdom that Xu Yi became more cautious when he probed the tentacles of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Ruerson Kingdom, and no longer invested and built factories everywhere in one breath as he did in the Lampari Kingdom two years ago, worrying about what would happen to the Ruerson Kingdom.

Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, King Trutz slowed down his voice and continued: "President Xu, I am very aware of the value contained in you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I also know very well what impact and changes the magic industry you represent can bring to a country. That's why I'd rather risk offending Ambassador Hakanin, or even the Candela Empire, to protect you. My attitude has been so clear, what else do you need to be afraid of?"

Xu Yi was silent for a moment, then looked at King Trutz and asked softly, "Okay, Your Majesty, what do you want me and our Chamber of Commerce to do?"

"It's simple. We will be fully open to the technology related to various household magic machines, and assist our kingdom in cultivating talents in the magic industry industry, and promote the development of the magic industry in our kingdom. My goal is to make every city in the kingdom of Ruersun as prosperous and wealthy as the city of Bonta before it!"

Looking at the light in King Trutz's eyes and the strong confidence on his face, Xu Yi was speechless for a while. (To be continued......)
