Chapter 168: This plan is too stupid

The day after the Marquis of Southgate and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce signed an agreement on a joint venture for a steelworks, the Grand Wizard of Ferguson arrived in the Duchy of Stanting.

He didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Pames Allen, the president of the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, and several other bigwigs of the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, apparently as an escort.

In addition, to Xu Yi's surprise, a total of fifty low-level magicians registered with the Lampari Kingdom Magician Guild also came with them.

Seeing these people, Xu Yi naturally thought of what the great magician of Ferguson had told him before.

"President Xu, if I ask you to help us solve the problem of the survival of these fifty magicians now, is there a problem?" Ferguson archmage looked at Xu Yi with a smile, and his tone was as relaxed as if he had just asked Xu Yi to prepare a lunch for them.

Xu Yi's face remained unchanged, his eyes were on the fifty magicians with different images, the youngest was probably less than twenty years old, and the oldest was probably more than sixty years old, judging from the magician logo on their chests and the unstable magic fluctuations they exuded, the magic strength of these fifty magicians should be very low, and it was very likely that there was not even a fourth-level magician among them.

"That depends on what you need, Grand Wizard Ferguson. Xu Yi responded indifferently. "It's simple to just make sure they can live in the future. ”

"Of course, it can't be that simple. Archmagician Ferguson shook his head. "I hope you will be able to solve their livelihood problems as well as their difficulties in magical research. ”

Xu Yi frowned slightly: "I can't agree to this." ”

The Ferguson Grand Magician was stunned for a moment by Xu Yi's simple refusal, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "President Xu." I remember the last time the two of us met. You're happy to say yes......"

"I just promised to assist the guild in improving the living conditions of low-level magicians. But there's no guarantee that you will do it all by yourself, is it?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

The Ferguson Grand Magician frowned and stared at Xu Yi, as if thinking about the meaning of Xu Yi's words.

"Grand Magician Ferguson, if the guild only asks me to help solve the problem of fifty of them, then I can agree, because with the current strength of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is not much pressure to raise fifty more people for idle meals. ”

"Have a meal?" said Ferguson Archmagician's voice slightly, with a hint of anger in his tone. "President Xu. How can you despise your fellow magicians so much?"

Xu Yi snorted, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Great Magician, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce, not a charity. For the sake of the Wizards' Guild, we can sponsor fifty fellow magicians for free, and that's no problem. But what if that number becomes 500, 5,000, or even 50,000? Do you think we can afford it?"

The Ferguson Grand Magician fell silent for a moment before he shook his head and sighed softly, "Of course not. Looks like Truge is right, you won't agree to this plan. ”

"Grand Magician Truqi?" Xu Yi was stunned. "You've met him?"

Although the great magician of Truqi has long joined the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. However, he has been working in the R&D center in the Kingdom of Lampari, but he has not met Xu Yi much.

"Hmm. I made a special trip to meet him before I came. Since he is also a person who works in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I would certainly like to ask his opinion. When he knew my intentions, he did not hesitate to object, saying that it was impossible for you to agree to this plan. Looks like he knows you better than I do. ”

Xu Yi scolded a nonsense in his heart, and then asked: "Then Ferguson Archmagician, is your previous plan to directly stuff people into our Chamber of Commerce like this, and let us be responsible for solving their problems?"

The Ferguson Grand Wizard laughed: "Actually, it's just a preliminary plan formulated by the headquarters council, and I'm just here to try it." Since you don't agree, President Xu, forget it. But President Xu, can you come up with a better solution?"

Xu Yi didn't expect that the great magician of Ferguson was very easy to speak, and thought for a while: "The last time we met, didn't you praise our chamber of commerce for driving the magic industry, so it solved the work of many low-level magicians, and gave them the environment to study magic at the same time? Since you understand this, why do you still propose this plan? This is obviously not reasonable." ”

"First, this is what the council has told me, and I just do it. Second, I want to see if you'll actually say yes. The Ferguson Grand Magician glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully. "But as I expected, and as Truch said, although you are already a great magician, you are still a businessman most of the time, and this plan really did not get your consent. ”

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, not feeling embarrassed.

He has always insisted that his status as a merchant is greater than that of a magician, and this will never change.

Although this seemed a bit incredible to most other magicians, he was now not only a powerful great magician that countless magicians could not become in the end, but also the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the most successful chamber of commerce, but no one questioned him as much as before.

"As I said just now, our Chamber of Commerce can solve it with fifty people, and five hundred people can barely do it, but with five thousand or even fifty thousand people, our Chamber of Commerce can't do anything, and there is no Chamber of Commerce on this continent that has the ability to solve it, so of course I won't accept this plan, because it's really ......."

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and did not say the second half of the sentence.

But at this moment, a voice remembered behind him and took the words.

"This plan is so stupid, I really don't know how the headquarters council came up with it. ”

Hearing this disdainful voice, the Ferguson Grand Magician not only did not show the slightest anger, but showed an embarrassed smile, turned around and bowed solemnly to the visitor.

"Your Excellency Camilla, this plan is only a preliminary plan made by the council without knowing the specific situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is no idea of forcing the president to implement it. Now that I'm here, after talking to President Xu and witnessing the impact of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I've long since rejected the plan. ”

The only one who can make him, the great mage from the headquarters council of the Wizards' Guild, so respectful, is of course one of the mages who is at the top of all the mages in the Sainz continent - Camilla Magister.

Camila Magister walked over and nodded, "That's pretty much it. So what are you going to do now?"

Grand Magician Ferguson smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at Xu Yi: "Of course, it depends on how President Xu plans." ”

Camila Magister also looked at Xu Yi: "Okay, kid, seeing that you look like you're full of bamboo, you obviously have an idea for a long time." Say it so that Ferguson can feel at ease. ”

Ferguson's eyes lit up: "President Xu, it turns out that you already have a mature plan?"

"There are no mature plans, but some ideas do. Xu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Grand Magician Ferguson, the purpose of the union is to enable all low-level magicians to find a suitable living environment, and at the same time ensure their livelihood, but also allow them to continue to enjoy exploring the mysteries of magic? ”

"yes. Not only can you get a very good salary when you work in your new flying chamber of commerce, but you can also enjoy a variety of benefits, and more importantly, you can also be exposed to magic tomorrow, which is simply the most suitable job for these low-level magicians, there is no one. Ferguson Archmagician said excitedly.

"But have you ever thought about a question, even if all the fifty low-level magicians you brought with you enter our Chamber of Commerce to work, will they be able to do it?" Xu Yi asked again.

The great magician of Ferguson was stunned: "What is this incompetent." Isn't it just to set up some low-level simple magic arrays, I think any magician should be able to do it, right?"

Xu Yi smiled but did not answer, and turned his head to look at Camila.

"Joke!" Magister Camilla snorted heavily at the right time. "If it's that simple, do you think that there will only be more than 2,000 magicians in our Chamber of Commerce now?

"This ......" Grand Magician Ferguson turned his head to look at the fifty low-level magicians, and found that none of them showed any unconvinced looks on their faces, but they all looked dejected, and seemed to agree with Camila's words.

This situation puzzled the Grand Wizard of Ferguson.

During this time, he had a good understanding of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he was sure that the magic arrays engraved in most of the magic machines were just some very low-level magic arrays, and in his opinion, any ordinary low-level magician should be able to complete it easily.

Why did these fifty low-level mages seem to find it very difficult, and even Camila Magister put on a solemn attitude?

"Grand Magician Ferguson, directly let them join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this plan can only cure the symptoms, but it is far from curing the root cause. In order to achieve the goal of making the vast majority of low-level mages able to improve their living environment, we need to start with the most basic thing, which is to improve their level. Xu Yizheng said.

The Ferguson Grand Magician frowned: "Everyone's magical talent is different, how can it be so easy to improve the magic strength." ”

"No, I'm not talking about improving their magical abilities, but improving their abilities in the magical industry. ”

The Ferguson Grand Magician looked at Xu Yi inexplicably.

What the hell is the so-called magic industry ability? (To be continued......
