Chapter 35: The Magical Kingdom of Mana
The meeting was not officially held, and of course it was just some gossip that didn't make much sense.
Xu Yi didn't have that much time to hang out here, and he didn't come to the Magic Kingdom of Mana this time to participate in this meeting, but also had other important matters.
So after sitting for a while and chatting with the other magicians attending the meeting, Xu Yi said goodbye and left.
He was accompanied by a high-ranking magician sent by the Magic Kingdom of Mana to organize this meeting.
He is both a high-ranking member of the Wizards' Guild of the Magic Kingdom of Mana and a high-ranking official of the official Magic Kingdom of Mana.
This kind of thing of a mage doing two hats at the same time doesn't happen in other countries on the mainland, but it is common in the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
In addition to organizing this high-profile and important meeting, his most important task was to receive the distinguished guests.
And Xu Yi, who can almost be called the most important guest, was designated by the king of the Magic Kingdom of Mana to be specially entertained.
Xu Yilai had already contacted the Magic Kingdom of Mana in advance, and there was no need for any delay between the two sides.
After leaving the manor, the two of them got into a magic car that had been prepared long ago for the reception of VIPs, and drove quickly towards the south of Sosri City.
"President Xu, the location of the new factory has been selected, and the foundation has been basically completed, next to the Mayan Tianhe River in the south of the city, and there is a re-widened national highway next to it, so that it will be very convenient for both water and land transportation after the finished products are produced in the future. ”
Sitting in the car, the Van Horn magician, who was in charge of the reception, introduced Xu Yi to the destination of their trip.
"I have no doubts about your competence. But...... As for the future planning of this factory, I wonder if His Majesty has thought it through?"
"This ......," Van Horn replied with a hesitant smile, "His Majesty the King and the Parliament have been trying their best to negotiate these days, just waiting for President Xu's arrival before making a final decision. ”
"Really?"
Xu Yi asked lightly. Some disappointment in my heart.
The heavy magic machinery production base jointly founded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Kingdom of Mana this time has begun to contact the two sides as early as last year, and it was finally determined in the first half of this year, but I didn't expect that now it is more than half a year later, but it is only the foundation of a factory, and there is no answer to the establishment of the entire base, which is really extremely inefficient.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce was able to agree to cooperate with the Magic Kingdom of Mana this time. and the transfer of a large number of heavy magic machinery-related technologies is already a manifestation of Xu Yi's extreme generosity, but the Magic Kingdom of Mana did not take advantage of this opportunity, but delayed repeatedly, so how could Xu Yi not be disappointed.
Van Horn could of course see Xu Yi's face, and hurriedly smiled: "Actually, His Majesty the King and the adults in the council have basically reached a common opinion, and now I just hope to have another consultation with you, President Xu." Please rest assured that since the planning of this base has begun, there is no reason for the kingdom to give up halfway. ”
Xu Yi nodded slightly. Noncommittal.
In recent years, there have been countless cooperation projects between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and major countries on the mainland, most of which are very positive in the corresponding countries, but there are also those that are not so active.
There are many reasons for this, and Xu Yi naturally won't take them seriously one by one.
After all, there are many countries, chambers of commerce, and organizations begging the cooperation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but there is no shortage of one or two, if he cares so much, he would have been exhausted and half dead.
However, the Magic Kingdom of Mana collaboration is different this time. This is a very rare project that Xu Yi has personally proposed and mastered over the years. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to this.
Even if the scale of the project itself is not particularly large, this level is extremely rare.
However, the Magic Kingdom of Mana has been procrastinating, and there is no active cooperation at all, which makes Xu Yi a little unhappy.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to this project is actually to value the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
This country, which itself is in the name of magic, is able to become the third largest country after the two empires. It is with a large number of magicians in the country.
Xu also tried to change the perception and use of magic on the entire Sainz continent, and the Magic Kingdom of Mana was naturally a very important part, so he always hoped to cooperate with the Magic Kingdom of Mana and let it be fully integrated into the magic industry.
It's just that in the "Magician Peace Convention" provoked by Xu Yi before, magicians were restricted from participating in the army. And the ability to participate in wars, so the Magic Kingdom of Mana, which mainly relies on magicians to form its combat power, suffered the most losses.
If it weren't for the fact that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had been able to suppress the situation on the continent, I was afraid that the Magic Kingdom of Mana would have greatly reduced its national strength because of this.
Therefore, for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the perception of the Magic Kingdom of Mana has always been very complicated, not only wanting to enhance the national strength through cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, many magicians in the Magic Kingdom of Mana are resentful and unwilling to cooperate.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been promoting the magic industry in other countries, but it often hits a wall in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and even the projects that are now led by Xu Yi himself are difficult to move forward smoothly.
"I plan to meet His Majesty the King in the next two days, and you can tell me about it. Xu Yi thought about it and explained to Van Horn.
Van Horn immediately nodded: "His Majesty has long hoped to meet with you, President Xu, and he must be very happy to know that you are coming." ”
Xu Yi hummed and didn't ask any more questions.
The Magic Sedan carried the two of them quickly on the flat road, and it didn't take half an hour to arrive at the base that Van Horn had said.
However, after getting out of the car, Xu Yi raised his eyes and immediately couldn't help frowning deeply.
The base in Van Horn's mouth in front of him is now swept away, and it is simply a desolate primeval river beach!
In addition to being able to see a few piles of sand and gravel piled up by the river in the distance, and some people next to it should seem to be busy, this place can even be called deserted, where is the base under construction?
"Is this the base you have been preparing for half a year?" Xu Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and his voice became cold.
Of course, Van Horn knew that the scene in front of him would not satisfy Xu Yi, he wiped his sweat, pointed to the piles of sand and gravel in the distance, and defended: "The foundation of the first magic machine tool workshop in the plan has been laid, as long as the action is fast, it can be built at the beginning of next year." ”
"As long as you move fast?" Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer.
In the evaluation of the outside world, the Amritri Chamber of Commerce will always get the evaluation of "fast progress and good quality", but that is based on the large number of people of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce and the corresponding various types of engineering magic machinery.
And in the so-called base in front of him, except for a few figures, he didn't even see the shadow of an engineering magic machine, how could he be fast.
What made Xu Yi even more dissatisfied and even a little angry was that even if the Magic Kingdom of Mana was not so concerned about this project, since he knew that he had come to inspect it in person, under normal circumstances, he would put on a hot and hard-working construction appearance when he came in order to look better, right?
But now the Magic Kingdom of Mana is not willing to even make a face-saving pretence, either they don't have this idea at all, or the dispute within the Magic Kingdom of Mana is too fierce for anyone to do this superficial work.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi snorted coldly, glanced at Van Horn, and said in a deep voice: "If you Magic Kingdom of Mana really have no interest in this project, you can say it clearly. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not a small chamber of commerce begging people to do things everywhere, as long as you make it clear, I promise that we will never interfere in the future. ”
Hearing that Xu Yi was really angry, cold sweat broke out on Van Horn's forehead, and he hurriedly laughed and said: "President Xu, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand! Of course, our kingdom is very willing to cooperate closely with your chamber of commerce, but there are some ...... within the kingdom Cough...... It's just a bit of an obstacle. Now that you're here, President Xu, I'm sure these small obstacles won't be a problem at all, and they're easy to solve, what do you think?"
"I hope so. ”
Xu Yi waved his hand, his expression cold.
Since this so-called base is nothing to look at at all, Xu Yi is too lazy to stay here.
He glanced at the construction site that was still slowly grinding, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the magic car.
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.
When I looked back in amazement, I saw a group of people coming from nowhere, rushing into the construction site just now, and shouting and scolding several workers who were still working.
Xu Yi was stunned.
"What's going on?"
Van Horn glanced at Xu Yi cautiously, and replied with a reluctant smile: "It seems that someone is making trouble......
", I can tell. Xu Yi glared at him, observed from a distance for a while, and found a trace of strangeness.
Among the people who rushed in and did something to the workers, there were actually several magicians!
It made him very strange.
Although the status of magicians has declined slightly over the years, and they are no longer as high as before, compared to ordinary people, magicians are still feared, and their status is still much higher than that of ordinary people.
Ordinary magicians are not supposed to be involved in such a direct beating of workers under any circumstances, which would be a loss of their identity.
Xu Yi squinted his eyes for a while, and Van Horn next to him was silent, as if he was going to sit back and watch this happen.
Seeing Xu Yi turn his head, Van Horn knew what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I don't have to deal with the affairs here, and it's inconvenient for me to interfere, so please forgive President Xu. ”
Of course, Xu Yi didn't believe it.
Since he is the one responsible for bringing himself here to watch this farce, how can he not have the right to meddle in the affairs here.
In saying this, I just intend to sit back and watch.
Xu Yi looked at the group of people making trouble in the distance and frowned.
What the hell is going on in the Magic Kingdom of Mana? Is it any good for them to put on such a posture that almost wants to drive themselves away? )
