Chapter 52: It's more important to be a great magician
Seeing Xu Yi intently flipping through the agreement, seemingly refusing to let go of even a word on the agreement, the Bukalus magician was full of doubts.
Even though he has known Xu Yi for a year, and since the two sides began to officially cooperate, he and Xu Yi have been in contact countless times, but the more he contacted, the more he found that he couldn't understand Xu Yi.
For example, in this agreement, the Grand Duke of Milano, on behalf of the Principality of Milano, transferred the mining rights of a rare earth mine and a magic crystal mine to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to transfer part of the production technology of household magic machinery to the Duchy of Mirando, and entered into a joint venture with the Duchy of Mirando to assist the Duchy of Mirando in building five corresponding magic machinery production factories in the Duchy.
This deal is a very favorable deal for the Principality of Milando, both from the point of view of the wizard of Bukalus and from the point of view of the Grand Duke of Milano.
Because of what rare earth ores and rare earth elements Xu Yi said, no one in the entire Duchy of Milano knew what this thing was for.
Exchanging such useless things for anything would be a sure win for the Duchy of Mirando, not to mention the extremely important technology for the production of household magic machinery.
For the Grand Duke of Milano, the most important thing is the joint venture between the two parties.
According to the results of the investigation of the city of Bonta, there is actually a consensus within the Duchy of Mirando.
That is, this household magic machine led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very promising, and it can create many job opportunities.
If the joint venture with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be successful, Milan will supply five more domestic magic machinery factories, then for the total area is roughly equivalent to three to four Bonta cities in the Duchy of Milano. It was undoubtedly of great help.
As for the other magic crystal mine, it seems to be worth a lot more than the rare earth mine. But there are such things as mana crystals everywhere on the continent of Sainz. It can also be seen everywhere in the Duchy of Mirando, and it is not worth anything at all.
Even if the magic crystal mine that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce values is the largest magic crystal mine in the Principality of Mirando, according to the estimate, it is definitely not worth even 100,000 gold coins.
And for any of the household magic machinery production technologies transferred by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the transfer fee can easily exceed 100,000 gold coins.
What's more, Xu also took the initiative to build a rare earth smelting plant and another magic crystal refining plant in the territory of the Duchy of Mirando, and promised to recruit a certain percentage of workers from the Duchy of Mirando.
Just these two factories are enough to bring great benefits to the Duchy of Mirando.
For example, the rare earth smelting plant built outside the town of Anchorstone has been in operation for less than two months now, but it has already paid a tax of up to 3,000 gold coins to the town of Angerstone. And also recruited a hundred local workers.
Not to mention the benefits, the monthly salary of these workers alone can be as high as ten gold coins.
This salary is second to none in all industries in the entire Duchy of Milano.
As a result, the local workers who are now able to enter the rare earth smelting plant are the envy of everyone.
Almost everyone in the small town of Umpliston is proud to be able to work at the rare earth smelter of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And when I heard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was about to open another aquatic canning factory and fertilizer factory outside the town, and that it needed to recruit about two hundred more workers, not to mention that the people in the small town of Ampleston were all ready to apply at any time, even those in several nearby towns and small towns. I have also been prepared for a long time.
Once the new flying chamber of commerce has a clear time to recruit workers, it is afraid that it will be immediately overwhelmed by the crowd that swarms.
I have to say. Xu Yi did fulfill his promise to bring prosperity and development to the small town of Umpliston, much to the great satisfaction of the Wizard of Bukalus.
However, it was precisely this that also made the wizard of Bukalus full of doubts about Xu Yi.
In the eyes of the Wizard of Bukalus, the current approach of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has actually increased their costs a lot, and there are many ways to reduce the cost of these extra expenses.
For example, even if the workers recruited by the town of Ampryston were paid five gold coins a month, the magician of Bukalas assured that the townspeople would rush to it.
But Xu also did so, and made a lot of promises to the Grand Duke of Milan.
At first, the magician Bukalus didn't believe much of Xu Yi's promises, as he felt that the merchants' promises would never be reliable.
However, the QiΔ made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi in the past half a year or so proves that Xu Yi is fulfilling his promises one by one.
Thinking back to his many contacts with Xu Yi in the past six months, as well as the various changes that have taken place in the town of Ampleston in the past six months, the wizard of Bukalus sighed in his heart.
It was an extremely lucky thing to be able to meet Xu Yi when he was participating in the qualification certification examination of the Magician Guild.
Thinking of the Magicians' Guild Qualification Assessment, Wizard Bukalus suddenly felt a move in his heart and thought of something.
"By the way, President Xu, your current strength ...... To what extent?" asked the Wizard Bukalus.
"Huh?" Xu Yi had just finished reading the agreement and was thinking about some details in the agreement, when he suddenly heard this question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then muttered: "This...... I haven't tested it specifically, but it shouldn't have reached the Cheng dΓΉ of the Great Magician. β
"Oh...... That's good......" The Wizard of Bukalus breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing: "What's the good?"
The magician Bukalus was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, President Xu, don't get me wrong, I just think...... It would be terrible for you to become a great magician at this age. But when I think of your amazing magical talent, I don't think it's impossible......"
Xu Yi laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not that strong." Although it is true that I now have the strength of a ninth-level magician, Grand Magician Camilla said that I am still far from a great magician, and if I want to become a real great magician, I need to work hard. β
Wizard Bukalus nodded, "Well, Your Excellency Grand Magician Camilla is right. Although the ninth-level magician and the great magician seem to be only one step away, this step is very difficult to take. President Xu, if you want to become a great magician, you really need a lot of hard work. However, President Xu ...... You've been busy with the affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce all day now, I'm afraid you don't have much time to cultivate magic, right?"
"Not much, really. Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and sighed helplessly: "You also know, our Chamber of Commerce has encountered a lot of things this year, and I probably only have two days off when I was in the Duchy of Stantin this year, and I am very busy at other times, so I don't have any time to study magic." β
The mage of Bukalus let out an exclamation: "Even so, President Xu, you still have the strength of a ninth-level mage. I have to say, President Xu, your magical talent is really amazing. I think Grand Magician Camilla is right, you should actually spare enough time to study magic and strive to become a great magician as soon as possible. I think you should understand that once you become a great magician, your status and realm will be completely different. β
"Of course I understand. Don't forget, we have two great mage-level researchers in our New Flying Chamber of Commerce right now, and I've been with them a lot, so of course I know the huge gap between me and them. Xu Yi sighed and said, "But I can't help it, I pay more attention to the development of the Chamber of Commerce than the magic level." At the end of the day, I'm just a person, and I don't have a lot of time, so I can't do both. β
Wizard Bukalus frowned slightly, and said with a stern expression: "President Xu, I still think it's better for you to focus on magic first. I don't think you really understand what it means to be a great magician. Let's put it this way, if you're a great magician, I think the kingdom of Lampari will have a lot of concerns about whatever it wants to do to you. What you have encountered in the Lampari Kingdom before, I think it will be a different outcome. β
"Really?" Xu also wondered. "Don't forget, Grand Magician Camilla is firmly on my side, and I don't feel any scruples when it comes to dealing with the affairs of our Chamber of Commerce. β
"Well...... The Grand Magician of Camilla is the Grand Magician of Camilla, and it is not the same as you being the Great Magician after all. Wizard Bukalus said. "Of course, what you Lampari Kingdom is doing is something I don't understand. If your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce of our Duchy of Milano, I can guarantee that the Grand Duke of Milando will definitely give full support to you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and will never do such an excessive thing. β
"Forget about the past, don't mention it again. Xu Yi smiled slightly and shook the agreement in his hand: "I have finished reading this agreement, and there is basically no problem." Please go back and tell the Grand Duke of Milan that I agree to all the contents of this agreement on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. β
After that, Xu Yi took out a pen and his personal seal from his arms, signed his name on the agreement, and then stamped the seal.
Seeing that Xu Yi did not answer his words, the Wizard of Bukalus was a little disappointed in his heart, but seeing that Xu Yi had signed the agreement without any doubt, he immediately became happy again.
Although the two sides have been cooperating for more than half a year, this is the first time that Xu Yi has personally come to see and sign the agreement, which is very symbolic and represents that the cooperation between the two sides has reached a deeper level.
Of course, Xu Yi did not come this time simply to sign such an agreement.
After Xu Yi received the agreement in his hand, the Bukalus Wizard smiled at Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, according to the news sent by Mr. Newman a few days ago, if nothing happens, he should arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and please wait here patiently for two days." β
"Well said. Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "After all, this is a major matter related to the three of us, and waiting for two more days is nothing. (To be continued......)
