Chapter 16 To each according to his needs

What does the Wizards' Guild HQ want?

As the so-called bustling of the world, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

The last time the Great Magician of Ferguson came on behalf of the Wizards' Guild, his appearance was quite normal, but on behalf of the headquarters of the Wizards' Union, he hoped to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce help solve the livelihood problems of low-level magicians, and in general, it was relatively polite.

However, this time he came again on behalf of the Magician Guild, but he suddenly put on a posture of embarrassment for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, of course, he had other plans.

After visiting the Academy of Magical Industry under construction, Xu Yi deliberately whetted the appetite of the Ferguson Wizard for a few days, and only then did he hint to the Ferguson Wizard that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was willing to pay some price for the recognition of the Wizards' Union Headquarters.

So the Ferguson Grand Magician instantly changed his face and directly threw out to Xu Yi a cooperation plan that was studied and decided by the Magician Guild Headquarters Council.

This cooperation plan seems to be a step further than Xu Yi's previous proposal, specifically, first of all, the headquarters of the Wizards' Union recognizes the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as its own cooperative chamber of commerce, and then the main cooperation project between the two sides is in the placement of low-level magicians.

This is similar to the cooperation that the two sides talked about before, but the difference lies in the follow-up of this plan.

In this plan, the Magicians Guild proposed that since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce relies on magical machinery manufacturing related industries to solve the livelihood problems for low-level magicians, then from the perspective of considering these low-level magicians, the headquarters of the Magicians Guild must have a certain research and understanding of the magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

On the surface, the meaning seems to be very high-sounding, but in fact, it is to ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to share the existing magic machinery-related technology with the headquarters of the Wizards' Union, so that the headquarters of the Magicians' Union can research and certify it. Make sure that there is no harm to low-level mages.

"And then you agreed?" Sevigny looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes.

At this time, it was already the Grand Magician of Ferguson who left the Duchy of Stantin. A week after returning to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild. Xu Yi came to Anweimar City to discuss things with Sevigny, and mentioned this matter by the way.

"How could it be. Xu Yi shook his head and sneered. "The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild actually wants all of our current magic machinery-related technology, and I won't agree to them unless I'm crazy. ”

"Then why did I hear that the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild will officially announce that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will become their partner chamber of commerce next month?" asked Severny, puzzled.

"This was meant to be a negotiation, the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild made an offer, and I just bargained. Xu Yi spread his hands and smiled. "They want all the magic mechanics related technology. Of course, this is an over-the-top offer, and they themselves know it, so I just casually repriced, and they agreed. ”

"Oh, how exactly did you bargain?" said Sevigny, looking very interested.

"It's nothing. I promised to share all the technology related to the magic machinery currently owned by our Chamber of Commerce with the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild, but ...... There is no time limit. ”

Severny was stunned, then sneered.

"Okay, you're Xu Yi, you're really cunning enough. But I don't believe that the people at the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild can't see that you're deliberately delaying. ”

"They know that, but I promised them to transfer at least one technology currently in our guild to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild every year, and I've made a list of the technologies that our guild currently has. Let them pick and choose, so they accepted it unceremoniously. ”

"Once a year?" Sevigny's eyes rolled. He couldn't help but say, "Hey, Xu Yi, if I'm not wrong, the total number of technology projects that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has is at least more than two hundred, right?

"No, there are more than 400 at the moment, so it will take more than 400 years to be exact. Xu Yi smiled.

"That's strange, if that's the case, why would the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild agree to your proposal?" asked Sevigny curiously.

"One, they don't know what the magic industry is. Second, they had no idea how fast the magic industry was developing. At that time, the technologies that our Chamber of Commerce currently possess should have been eliminated and stored in the history museum long ago, and they will not be able to be used at all. I don't know what use they can get their hands on. ”

Sevini exhaled lightly, shook his head, and said, "Actually, they can't be blamed for this. If I hadn't known you for a long time, I wouldn't have known that the magic industry would be developing so fast. You see, it's only been eight years since your new Flyer appeared, but our kingdom of Lampari has already undergone tremendous changes. At the beginning, I didn't believe that the emergence of the magic industry could change the entire Sainz continent, but now I am convinced of it. ”

"In my opinion, it's not enough. Xu Yizheng said. "In fact, we still do not have a complete magical industry system, and there are many important links missing from it. For example, we have not yet addressed the most important aspect of talent development, and we have not yet made the best use of resources. ”

"As you said, it's not something you can rush in the spur of the moment, is it?" said Severny. "Speaking of which, what is the first technology that the Wizards Guild Headquarters asked you to share is related to? Is it a magic airship? I think this thing should represent the highest technical level of your Chamber of Commerce at the moment, and they should value it the most. ”

"No, you guessed it wrong. Their preference is for the technology related to magic air conditioning. ”

"Magic Air Conditioner?" Sevigny was stunned. "It's not particularly high-tech, why would they be most interested in this?"

"Haven't you noticed yet? They are not actually interested in the so-called magic machine-related technology, let alone to help low-level magicians master the magic machine-related technology more easily, the reason why they chose the magic air conditioner is only one reason, and that is gold coins. ”

Sevini was slightly stunned, then pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I see. It seems that even these great magicians can't escape the shackles of interests after all. ”

"This is not surprising. Xu Yi shrugged. "If they're really perfect noble, pure union leaders who only think about low-level magicians, then I'm going to have a headache. But since they need benefits, it's much simpler. Wouldn't it be nice for me to give them benefits and get what I need from them, and everyone will take what they need. ”

Sevini glanced at Xu Yi: "You are the biggest profiteer, I never doubt it." Say, what benefits did you get from the Wizards' Guild Headquarters this time? It can't be just the nominal benefit of becoming a designated cooperative chamber of commerce for the Wizards' Guild Headquarters, right?"

"Hey, you can't look down on that. With this name, it will be much easier for our Chamber of Commerce to recruit magicians in the future. Think about it, we are a cooperative chamber of commerce designated by the union headquarters, and what an honor it is. Compared to those arrogant magicians, they will not be as resistant to entering our Chamber of Commerce as before. ”

"It's as if those magicians are resistant to working in your Chamber of Commerce right now......" Sevini muttered. "Almost more than half of the magicians in our Lampari Kingdom can't get a job in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are you still dissatisfied?"

"That's just the Lampari Kingdom and the surrounding countries, and my target is all the magicians in the entire Sainz continent. You see, it's been three months since we went to the Maro Empire to build a factory, and we haven't even recruited a local magician, so I'm having a headache about this. If the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild announces that we are the designated cooperative chamber of commerce, I can put up this big sign, and maybe it will solve the problem. ”

"I hope so. Sevini paused, glanced at Xu Yi, and continued: "Speaking of the Maro Empire...... Xu Yi, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, took out a copy of the text from his bag, and handed it over with both hands.

"Come, Your Majesty the Great Queen, this is our Chamber of Commerce's cooperation plan for joint investment in the Maro Empire with the Kingdom of Lampari, please take a look. ”

"That's pretty much it. ”

Sevini chuckled, took the plan, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Sevini pondered for a moment and frowned, "There is a problem. In your plan, you want our Lampari Kingdom to organize a chamber of commerce to go to the Maro Empire in an official name to make various investments, but our Lampari Kingdom and the Maro Empire did not have a particularly close connection before, are you sure that the Maro Empire is willing to accept it?"

"This is the result of my consultation with Marquis Southgate, although Marquis Southgate cannot fully represent the official Marlo Empire, but he can represent a group of Marlo Empire nobles led by him. The Marquis of Southgate welcomed the plan, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xu Yi sighed slightly, smiled, and continued: "Actually, say something you may not like to hear. Compared to the Maro Empire, the Lampari Kingdom is too weak, so the Maro Empire officials will not take the Lampari Kingdom in their eyes at all, and naturally they will not care whether you invest or not. Anyway, in their opinion, it doesn't affect anything at all. ”

Sevini was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "In this case, this is completely equivalent to the cooperation between our Lampari Kingdom and the Marquis of Southgate's personal side?

"It depends on the future development. For example, Sevigny, if you were to completely drive our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out of the Lampari Kingdom now, would you do that?" Xu Yi asked, staring at Sevigny's eyes.

Sevini glanced at Xu Yi and shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course not." It's not about whether you want to, it's about ...... Can't. (To be continued......)
