Chapter 33: Technology R&D is key

"Elder, do you still need to ask the elders about such an obvious fact?" Yanis looked up at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression. "If it weren't for you, it would be impossible for the clansmen to come to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. For example, if I didn't really accept you, how could I stay by your side all the time?"

"You're not like them. Xu Yi shook his head. "You were the first elf I came into contact with, and the reason why you stayed with me in the first place was because I had come from Elder Elucia, and you have been with me for so long. If you don't agree with me, then I'll have to take a good look at my character. ”

Yanise grinned, "No need to review. Lord, your heart is not as pure as Sister Steele and Vivien, but you are still outstanding among humans. I love being around you anyway, and I'll be upset if you drive me away. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but scratch her nose: "Could it be that you still want to stay by my side all the time? Sooner or later, you will also marry like other elf clans, and then you will have your own life." ”

Yanis's eyes rolled, and she suddenly clapped her hands, and said excitedly: "By the way, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered." Didn't you tell me last time that it is absolutely impossible for elves and humans to unite? But I asked the elder, and she told me that there is no possibility of union between elves and humans. On the contrary, before the Race War, there were many elves who combined with humans and could give birth to children, which were the legendary half-elves. ”

"And then?" Xu Yi glanced at her. "These half-elves are definitely not accepted by the elves, right?"

"Hmm...... It seems so. But that was thousands of years ago. It's not the same as it is now. will grow up. In short, what you said before is not right, we can combine. And I'm sure the rest of our half-elf kids will accept it. So you don't have to worry. ”

"I'm not worried about a ghost!" Xu Yi scolded, curling his index finger and slamming it on Yanis's forehead. "I said, what are you doing thinking about all this stuff all your day, don't you feel shy?"

"Shy, why be shy?" Annis touched her forehead, puzzled. "Heterosexual unions, racial reproduction are very normal topics, you are the male of the human race, I am the female of the elven race. Is there anything to be shy about discussing the possibility of union between us and the matter of reproduction? And I will grow up, I have said it many times, I am over eighty years old! much more than you!"

Xu Yi was completely defeated by Yanis, who looked innocent, and couldn't help but sigh and hold his forehead.

"Well, you don't feel shy, I feel shy. Anyway, don't discuss this kind of topic so loudly in front of so many people, okay?" Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the crowd of people who were projecting strange eyes around him, and glared them back. "If you really care about this, I'll go with you next time to see Elder Elucia and discuss it. ”

"Okay. I also have a lot of questions for the elders. Annis clapped her hands happily and readily agreed.

Xu Yi shook his head helplessly. Turning around, he beckoned to Vivien, who was looking at her in the distance.

"Come, Vivien, take Annis to Kennard's side, and explain some of your ideas to the officials from the Magical Industry Administration. Today is the first official visit of the Magic Industry Management Department to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and you must receive it seriously. ”

"Oh. ”

Vivian pulled Yanis, who was still a little unsatisfied, and just left, a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary, but was well-dressed, and knew at a glance that he was from a noble family came to Xu Yi's side.

"Are these two of the best designers in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? The middle-aged man looked at the backs of Vivien and Yanise, who were leaving, and sighed softly.

"It's nothing, they've just been in contact for a long time, so practice makes perfect. Xu Yi responded indifferently and turned to look at the middle-aged man. "Speaking of excellent designers, I think those ten chambers of commerce must have the help of many outstanding artists in the kingdom, and they are definitely not inferior to the two of them. Am I right, Director Russell?"

The current director of the Magical Industry Administration, Deno Russell, smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "President Xu, you should know better than anyone else that an art master and a designer are two different things. That beautiful elven lady Annis is not only a designer, but also a master artist recognized by everyone in the kingdom. But none of those masters of art can be called designers. ”

"This simplicity allows them to participate more in design, and after a long time, they will naturally become designers. Xu Yidao.

Director Russell glanced at Xu Yi and said with a smile: "President Xu, it seems that you are still a little dissatisfied with the transfer of technology." ”

Xu Yi glanced at him and shook his head slowly: "No, I'm not dissatisfied." It's just that after all, these things were researched by myself with great effort, and I still feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly have to hand them over to others. ”

Director Russell laughed: "I understand your feelings, President Xu, but for everything, we have to look forward, don't we? But regardless of the technology transfer fees that the ten chambers of commerce must pay to accept these technologies, just because these ten chambers of commerce participate in the magic industry, how much will it promote the entire magic industry, I think you won't understand, President Xu?"

Xu Yi smiled coldly in his heart.

Technology transfer fees?

In the past, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly sold the technology of household magic machinery such as magic stoves, magic electric stoves, magic air conditioners, etc., any Chamber of Commerce that wanted to obtain the relevant technology had to pay a minimum of 100,000 gold coins for technology transfer fees.

And what about these ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration?

The largest technology transfer fee is only 30,000 gold coins!

And these 30,000 gold coins even include a complete set of magic machine tool production lines!

If you really do it, it's converted. These technologies are almost the same as the new flyers gave them for free!

The so-called technology transfer fee. In Xu Yi's view, it is clearly just a fig leaf. It's just proof that these guys want to be bitches but still want to build an archway.

As for the so-called promotion effect brought by the participation of these ten chambers of commerce in the magic industry, Xu Ye has no objection.

Behind these ten chambers of commerce are the shadows of those old nobles in the kingdom, with such a solid backing, and now coupled with the technology provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, these ten chambers of commerce will inevitably rush into the ranks of the magic industry in a short period of time and accelerate the overall development of the magic industry.

What's more, because of the addition of these ten chambers of commerce, the stubborn old-school aristocrats who had previously opposed the magic industry would naturally no longer insist on this position. Instead, it will turn around and support the development of the magic industry.

For example, one of the conditions that Xu Yi proposed to King Eric was that the special commercial tax on magic machinery would be adjusted back.

After Xu Yi transferred some of the technology, this condition was quickly responded.

Just half a month ago, the commercial tax reform in Bangta City was abolished on the grounds that "the real proof does not apply".

Because of this relationship, many magic industry chambers of commerce and some small chambers of commerce engaged in parts processing industry in Bangta City that were originally on the verge of closure were quickly revived, and the entire Bangta City seemed to be revitalized in an instant.

However, Xu is still not optimistic about their prospects.

These ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration will inevitably enjoy various policy deviations and preferences in the future, and these chambers of commerce in Bonta City without any foundation want to compete with them, and they are simply hitting stones with eggs.

Even if it is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive in their pinch.

The reason why they didn't simply swallow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now was because they hadn't digested the various technologies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce yet. Leaving the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has use value.

Every time he thinks of this question, Xu Yi can't help but sigh in his heart.

Business wants to get rid of the influence of politics altogether. It's just too hard.

Fortunately, he had already figured out this truth and made preparations in advance.

What he is doing now is just for his long-held dream of creating an industrial system.

Leaving some spark of the magic industry to Bonta City, or to the Lampari Kingdom, this is all he can do at present, as for whether this spark can continue to flourish in the future, and ignite the prairie like when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce led the development of the magic industry before, it is not up to the current Xu Yi to decide.

After taking a deep look at Director Russell, Xu Yizheng said, "I believe that after those ten chambers of commerce also join the ranks of the magic industry, it will definitely make the magic industry in the Lampari Kingdom flourish." But I have a word that I hope Director Russell will bring to me and convey to the heads of the ten chambers of commerce. ”

Seeing that Xu Yi said solemnly, Director Russell's expression also became cautious.

"Speak. ”

"The transfer of the technology that our chamber of commerce has already mastered is actually not something difficult for me to accept. In fact, before that, our Chamber of Commerce had already transferred a lot of technology related to the production of magic machinery. ”

"Well, I understand. For your selfless behavior, President Xu, I have expressed great admiration for many people when I talk about it in private. Director Russell nodded.

"I would like to say that it is of course no problem to obtain the mature technology that has been successfully developed directly from our new flying chamber of commerce, which is also the fastest and most convenient way. But have you ever thought about a question, once all the technology that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has mastered, what should we do next?"

Director Russell smiled a little awkwardly and said, "I understand what you mean, President Xu. President Xu, you have always emphasized that the development of the magic industry is inseparable from the research and development of technology, and I think the ten chambers of commerce also understand this very well, so there is no need to worry. Besides, there's also the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that you lead, President Xu, isn't it?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "No, you don't understand, and they don't understand either." Technology research and development is just a sentence, but in reality, it is not as easy as you think. To put it bluntly, no matter the personnel, the theoretical basis and the most basic workers, there is currently no chamber of commerce that can be compared with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

Director Russell frowned: "Then President Xu, what do you have to offer?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I don't have any construction, only ...... Good luck. ”

Seeing the smiling expression on Xu Yi's face, Director Russell's face couldn't help but change slightly. (To be continued......)
