Chapter 20 Discretionary Delivery

"According to statistics, among the thirty-six provinces of the Candela Empire, all of them have been laid with magical communication networks, and the area covered by magic signals has exceeded eighty-three percent of the entire territory of the Candela Empire. It can be said that the original goal of 'long-distance magical communication anywhere in the Candela Empire' has been preliminarily achieved......"

"Wait......" Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted Freya's report. "More than eighty-three percent of the coverage area is still 17 percent of the place, which means that there is still 17 percent of the places that have not achieved magic signal coverage, so what is the realization of 'long-distance magic communication can be carried out anywhere'?"

Freya couldn't help but roll her eyes, then immediately straightened her expression and coughed lightly: "The remaining places that have not yet been covered by the magic signal are either because of the complex terrain and the inability to erect the magic signal tower, or because of the obstacles of all aspects of the local area, the progress of the project has been delayed, or even impossible to start at all. ”

At this, Freya paused, frowning slightly.

"It's strange to say, why is this still the case? There are still people who don't want to accept the coverage of the magic signal network? Don't they think it's convenient to be able to communicate remotely?"

Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of helplessness: "No way, even now, there are still rumors among the people that laying a magic signal tower will cause people's spirits to be controlled. When we set up the Magic Tower, we encountered this kind of obstacle not only in the Candela Empire, but also in other countries. ”

"Isn't it? what age is it now, and anyone still believes in such a thing?" Freya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Remember, don't overestimate the perception of the general public. Xu Yi explained to Freya seriously. "They are easily agitated and deceived, so it is not surprising to believe such a baseless thing. In addition to this, I've seen a lot of more incredible things than this. You'll be exposed to it a lot later. And don't be surprised. ”

Freya tilted her head and thought for a while, still feeling a little unacceptable.

However, she knew that Xu Yi would not fool her about this kind of thing, so she did not continue to dwell on this issue, but moved in her heart and asked, "Dad, according to what you just meant." Do you mean that there are people with ulterior motives behind these people?"

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say this." How the facts, you can investigate for yourself later. ”

Freya snorted softly, knowing that this was another test her father had given herself.

"Well, that's fine. Regarding the laying of the magical communication network within the Candela Empire, according to the data of various aspects, it can be regarded as basically completing the preliminary project, and the coverage of the magical communication network has been basically realized. If our Chamber of Commerce continues to stay in the Candela Empire in the future, there are not many things that can be changed because of various factors. ”

"So you feel like it's a good time. Leave the follow-up laying and operation of the magical communication network within the Candela Empire to the Candela Empire itself?" Xu Yi asked.

"From a profit point of view, it's not the best time, but the worst time. Freya shook her head. "After ten years of cooperation between our Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire, we have finally completed the construction of the magic communication network within the Candela Empire, and now is the time to promote magic communication to the ordinary people of the Candela Empire on a large scale, and it is also a key growth period to earn a lot of profits through the operation of the magic communication network. If you withdraw now, you will be giving up the foreseeable and extremely large profits to the Candela Empire. ”

Xu Yi showed an appreciative smile and nodded lightly: "Not bad." So what do you mean by this report to me now, and are you not going to accede to the demands of the Candela Empire?"

Freya grinned, "I didn't promise the Candela Empire. Just tell them to discuss. ”

"So after careful consideration, how are you going to discuss it with them?" Xu Yi looked interested. Keep asking.

Freya coughed lightly, straightened her face, and put on a serious expression.

"Elder, after my careful research and consideration, I feel that of course our Chamber of Commerce cannot just withdraw from the follow-up operation of the Candela Empire's magical communication network. However, we can consider leaving the follow-up of the construction of the magical communication network to the Candela Empire. ”

"Well, go ahead and say what you think. ”

"As for the follow-up work on the laying of the magic communication network, it has been made clear in my report just now. Most of the places where it is not possible to lay a magical communication network are too harsh. Or the local population is against it. In every way, if we continue to do this, we will encounter great difficulties, and it will be difficult to translate into actual melee combat with a lot of money and manpower invested in it. If this place is handed over to the Candela Empire, not only will our Chamber of Commerce get out of the way, but it will also better promote the laying of magical communication networks in these places. ”

Freya smiled a sly smile.

"Since it is the people of the Candela Empire who oppose it, then it is up to the Candela Empire to solve this problem, it is much easier to say that it is much easier than us to intervene in a foreign chamber of commerce, right?"

"From that point of view, yes. Xu Yi nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "But leaving the follow-up work to the Candela Empire means that you have decided to agree to the Candela Empire's request and transfer the magic communication network related technology to the Candela Empire." Do you understand the consequences of agreeing to this condition?"

"Of course I do. Freya said proudly. "The transfer of magic communication network related technology to the Candela Empire means that the liberalization of our Chamber of Commerce's technology in this area will inevitably cause the same reaction from other countries on the continent, and finally let us fully open up the relevant technology. ”

"This means that in the future, in addition to our Chamber of Commerce, other countries or chambers of commerce will also have the ability to lay magical communication networks, and our Chamber of Commerce will no longer be able to control all magical communication networks alone as it is now. Xu Yizheng said. "Do you know how much of an impact this will have on our Chamber of Commerce?"

"Doesn't it affect me?" "Lord Grown, many years ago, you listed the laying of magical communication networks as a national infrastructure industry on the same level as the laying of roads, so actually. This thing should have been vigorously promoted by the various countries on the continent themselves, right?"

"Then do you understand why I didn't let go of the relevant technology in this area before and let the various countries on the mainland promote it themselves?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.

"Quite simply, all countries did not have the capacity to do so before, and second, they did not have the corresponding determination. ”

"Do you think you can do it now?"

"Of course. After a decade of rapid development, almost all countries on the continent have made great strides in the magic industry. A large empire like the Candela Empire already has a basically complete magical industrial system. With only the appropriate technology, they can quickly master the method of laying a magical communication network. ”

"Then do you think they will promote the technology when they get it?"

"Of course they will, and they will be more willing than when we were helping to promote it, I'm sure that. Freya's expression was full of confidence.

"Why are you so sure?" asked Xu Yixiao.

"Because of profit. Freya immediately responded. "As I said earlier, with the widespread spread of magical communications, operating a magical communication network will generate extremely large profits. If the Candela Empire wants to reap these profits, or get a share of them, it must control some or even all of the magical communication network itself. So they are definitely much more anxious than we are. ”

Xu Yi leaned back slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Freya with a smile, very satisfied.

After getting in touch with the envoys of the Candela Empire, it only took Freya two days to analyze and consider the whole matter in such an in-depth manner, although it was indispensable for the assistance of other high-level members of the Chamber of Commerce, but it could also fully demonstrate her excellent ability.

If she really wants to settle down and intend to take over the presidency, then with her intelligence. After a period of training, it must be a very suitable candidate.

The only pity is that. It's just that she hasn't been able to settle down so far, so that the stones in the hearts of many people in the Chamber of Commerce can't be completely landed.

Of course, because Xu Yi had agreed with Freya a few years ago that he would not ask her to make a decision until she turned twenty-five years old, Xu Yi would not urge her, but could only guide her as much as possible. Let her get more in touch with the specific affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and try to cultivate her interest in this area.

Judging by the results so far, she is not particularly averse to dealing with these matters, but she is not very interested.

If this time she dealt with the things requested by the Candela Empire, it would be able to make her interested. That's well worth it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi made a decision in his heart.

"Hmm...... Freya, your analysis makes sense, I don't have any opinion. Now, in my capacity as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I grant you full authority to deal with this matter and the relevant follow-up qualifications. As long as it is related to this matter, you don't need to come to me for advice, any decision you make will represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Do you see what I mean?"

Freya blinked, not showing her excitement and joy of being entrusted with a heavy task or being in power, but looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, and only snorted softly for a long time, but her expression was a little dissatisfied.

"You know it's going to be a lot of trouble to deal with alone, and you won't be able to fix it in a few months. And the follow-up is almost impossible to completely conclude, I am afraid that there will be no way to solve it for more than ten years, or even decades. You obviously want to tie me up like this, right?"

Xu Yi spread his hands: "I don't mean to limit you. If you don't want to deal with it, as long as you arrange the follow-up work, you can get out at any time. Don't worry, I don't mean to use this to drag you until you turn twenty-five. ”

Freya's eyes rolled, and a smile suddenly appeared.

"Well, since you've left it to me, you can't scold me if I make any trouble. (To be continued......)
