When he left Weilun Manor the next day, Xu Yi offered to ask the Weilun patriarch to give her the two maids who served him yesterday.

Patriarch Wei Lun originally had this in mind, but now that he saw Xu Yi take the initiative, he was naturally overjoyed, and without saying a word, with a wave of his hand, he asked the two maids to serve the new master wholeheartedly from today onwards, and they were absolutely not allowed to violate any of Xu Yi's intentions.

As for the slave transfer procedures...... In the Lampari Kingdom, there may still be some formalities, but in the Duchy of Stantin, a slave is a slave, and there is no difference between ordinary goods, and the Patriarch of Weilun said that it will be given to Xu Yi, and no one will question anything.

The carriage left the Valon Manor under the eyes of the joyful Patriarch of Velon, and drove quickly towards Faraday City, the capital of the Principality of Stantin.

Ankru, who was sitting opposite Xu Yi in the car, looked at Xu Yi for a long time, and after a few words and then stopped, he finally couldn't help asking: "President Xu, according to what I know about you, you shouldn't be a person who cares about beauty, right? Why did you take the initiative to ask Patriarch Weilun for these two maids?"

Xu Yi smiled: "Do you think Steele is not beautiful?"

Ankru was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I didn't mean that at all." Miss Steele is as beautiful as a goddess, and President Xu has nothing to say for your eyes. But from what I've seen in your life, you shouldn't be very ...... about this aspect of things Belch...... Not particularly keen. And I can see that the two maids are still virgins, and you are afraid that you did not touch them at all last night. So I'm curious, why would you ask for them out of the ordinary?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "You can actually see that the two of them are still virgins?"

Ankru showed a slight ** smile: "Well...... An experienced man like me can usually see it. And not only I can see it. I'm sure Patriarch Weilun can see it too. ”

"Patriarch Weilun can see it too?" after receiving an affirmative answer from Ankru. Xu Yi thought about it. Not only was he no longer the slightest surprised, but he laughed out loud. "That's great. It would be better if Patriarch Weilun could see this, and I asked him for these two maids, just to show my attitude. Now that he knows that these two maids are still virgins, and I still take the initiative to ask him, then I will definitely understand my attitude better. ”

Ankru frowned slightly: "President Xu, do you mean that you really plan to cooperate with him?"

"Why not?" said Xu Yi with a slight smile. "The fruit canning factory and rubber processing plant I mentioned to you yesterday are not a joke, but I really think they are very promising. Wait until you get back to Bonta City. I'm going to be ready to come here and open these two factories. Even...... Maybe I'll open a few more factories. ”

Seeing the expression on Ankru's face, Xu was also a little strange.

"Why, Mr. Ankru, haven't you been strongly inviting me to invest in the Duchy of Stantin, and now that I am willing to invest in a few more factories in addition to those three mines, why don't you seem so happy?"

"No, I'm not upset, you can think of investing more, and I will only strongly welcome it on behalf of the Duchy of Stantin. Ankru hurriedly laughed. "I just have some concerns about Patriarch Weilun......"

"Worried that he won't be able to cooperate with me well?" Xu Yixiao asked.

Ankru smiled bitterly: "President Xu, you are so perceptive. That's right, from what I know about the Patriarch of Weilun, he is almost good for nothing but greed, and he does not possess any outstanding abilities at all. I'm very worried about your choice to work with him. Fearing that he might spoil your affairs and make you lose faith in our principality. ”

"Greed? Greed is good. I'm afraid he's not greedy. Xu Yi smiled, not paying much attention. "Greedy people have clearer goals, but they are easier to deal with. As long as Patriarch Weilun is not greedy enough to be particularly excessive, I think my cooperation with him should be very pleasant. ”

Ankru could only continue to smile bitterly: "I'm afraid that he is too greedy." President Xu, you may not know much about the character of these big nobles in our principality, and a guy like Patriarch Weilun can't wait to take everything into his arms. Don't look at him and you are very close now, but for the sake of profit, he may turn his face at any time. ”

Listening to the helplessness in Ankru's tone, Xu Yi thought about it and couldn't help but ask in wonder: "Mr. Ankru, I originally thought that you deliberately let me stay in Weilun City for one night, and meeting with this Weilun patriarch was an agreement between you and him that made me have the idea of investing near Weilun City. But now that I hear you say that, I don't think that's what you really think?"

Ankru was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Since you can see President Xu, then I won't hide it anymore." That's right, this is indeed an agreement between me and Patriarch Velen. If I can let you rest in Weilun Manor for one night, and create a chance for Patriarch Weilun to contact you, I will get Patriarch Weilun's support for me, which is an exchange. ”

"Well, I can understand that. Xu Yi nodded. "But I don't understand why you're saying such frustrating things to me now, are you suddenly dissatisfied with Patriarch Weilun?"

"It's not because of the sudden dissatisfaction with the Patriarch of Weilun...... Well, that's right. Ankrue smiled bitterly, but there was a hint of sincerity in it. "President Xu, actually, although I strongly invite you to invest in our principality, I don't really expect much from it. Because the Principality has been in a backwater situation for too long, I don't think that one person or one chamber of commerce alone can change the situation. ”

"This is not a strange idea, because I don't think that we can change the entire Duchy of Stantin with just one of our new flying chambers. Xu Yi nodded.

"But after spending a day with you yesterday in our principality, I realized that I was probably wrong. Ankru looked at Xu Yi's eyes with a little bit of hope. "Other chambers of commerce and other people may not be able to change the entire principality. But President Xu, I really feel this possibility from you!"

Xu Yi was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand: "You expect too much from me." ”

"No! not at all!" Ankru said earnestly, "President Xu." You've just been in our principality for a day. I just saw some sights along the way. You can casually come up with two ways to build a fruit canning factory and a rubber processing plant. If you were to make a comprehensive survey of our principality, how many new ideas would come out of your head, and if they were to be realized one by one, I would surely make a huge difference to the whole principality!"

"You're exaggerating. Xu Yi smiled and said: "The establishment of the factory is just some ordinary investment I have made, but whether it can change the face of the whole country depends on the people of this country in the end." ”

Hearing the latter sentence, Ankru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly like a deflated ball, both his face and his body quickly collapsed.

"People ......" Ankrul turned his head to look out the window. He smiled bitterly again and sighed softly: "If you want to change these people, how can it be so simple......"

Looking at Ankru's gloomy side face, Xu Yi suddenly felt that this man, who had been looking energetic and enthusiastic since he first met him, now seemed to be very lonely.

After the morning, the carriage carried Xu Yi and Ankru to Faraday City, where Xu Yishun met with the Grand Duke of Stantin and several important ministers of the Principality of Constantine.

It was only a brief contact with the same pot-bellied Grand Duke Stantin and several ministers, and Xu Yi suddenly found out. I seem to understand why Ankru feels so lonely.

Before meeting the Grand Duke of Stantin, Xu Yi originally thought that since His Excellency would offer to sell the three mines in the Principality of Stanting to an unknown chamber of commerce in another country. Then it must be a leader with great courage and courage who intends to sell these three mines to attract investment from chambers of commerce in other countries, so as to change the poverty and backwardness of the Principality of Stantin.

However, after seeing the Grand Duke of Stanting with his own eyes, having a luncheon with him, and having a period of conversation and contact, Xu Yi found that his previous conjecture about the Grand Duke of Stanting was completely wrong.

Not only is His Excellency even fatter than the Patriarch of Weilun, but the greed that comes out of his appearance is also more naked and obvious than that of the Patriarch of Weilun.

After seeing Xu Yi, after just a few words of greeting, Grand Duke Stanting quickly turned the topic to the three mines.

To Xu Yi's surprise, the statements of Archduke Stantin and Anglo are completely different.

When Ankru and Xu Yi negotiated, they wanted to exchange these three mines for some of the technology mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but Archduke Stantin asked Xu Yi very bluntly how much gold he planned to spend on these three mines.

When Xu Yi said that he could not say the specific number because he had not yet conducted an on-site investigation of the three mines, Grand Duke Standin and several other ministers even forced Xu Yi to give an approximate number, and claimed that as long as Xu Yi's price was right, they could decide to sell the three mines to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now.

Xu Yi was forced to have no choice but to give a price between one million and one and a half million gold coins.

Originally, he had estimated the estimated price of these three mines at about two million gold coins, but after seeing the faces of Grand Duke Stantin and those ministers, he didn't even dare to say the estimated price of between one million and two million.

Because after hearing his offer, Archduke Stantin and several ministers all had their eyes shining, and directly ignored the offer of one million gold coins, and actually planned to directly locate the price of one and a half million gold coins.

Xu Yi was sure that if he said that between one million and two million gold coins, these guys would definitely set the price at two million gold coins.

Thinking of what Ankru said on the way here, Xu Yi looked at Archduke Stantin and those ministers with greedy and happy faces, and thought to himself that Ankru was actually not as harsh as he thought before, but too conservative.

Not only is the Patriarch of Weilun greedy and unreliable.

In Xu Yi's view, the leaders of the principality, including the Grand Duke of Stantin, are all greedy and unreliable......!
