Chapter 115: Break the monopoly of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce
After learning the news of Arista Magister's departure, Xu Yi immediately found Camilla Magister.
"Grandpa, did the Arista Magister agree?" Xu Yi asked expectantly.
"It's not that easy. Magister Camilla gave him a blank look. "He's a magister, and his every move is a lot of attention, so he can do whatever he wants. ”
"Is that still not okay?" Xu Yi suddenly looked disappointed.
"It's not impossible. Magister Camilla shook her head. "Arista didn't say it explicitly, but I think he thinks it shouldn't be a problem to get involved in this research, but if you want to ask him to help you do something else, it's basically impossible. Anyway, you don't expect to buy him off from the Maro Empire with 50,000 gold coins a year. ”
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, you also underestimate me, right? If 50,000 gold coins a year can buy a magister, then I can buy as much as I want." ”
"But you only give me 10,000 gold coins a year. Magister Camilla rolled her eyes.
"This ......" Xu Yi glanced at Camila Magister and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are another matter." You can have a share of the whole chamber of commerce, as long as you like, you can take as much as you want. But you have reminded me of one thing, the salary of 10,000 gold coins a year that has not changed for many years, is my negligence. You're a Magister now, and you can't afford to be paid that little. Well...... Well, what do you think of raising your annual salary to 50,000 gold coins?"
Camila Magister was stunned. Hurriedly waved his hand: "I was just joking." What are you doing with all this money? I have everything in the Chamber of Commerce now, and it's useless to ask for money, so you might as well use this money for something else. ”
"It's an advertisement. Don't excuse yourself. Xu Yi said with a smile.
"I said Xu Yi, don't think too much about you kid. Although it is possible that Arista may agree to participate in the research, it is absolutely impossible for you to actually hire him to the Chamber of Commerce, and you should die before you do so. Camila Magister is colorful.
"I didn't expect to be able to hire Arista Magister, let alone hire other Magisters, but this can send a signal to other mages on the mainland. As long as you are willing to work for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can give a suitable remuneration. The higher the level. the higher the pay. Also, based on the example of the Arista Magister, I found this new co-op model to be very viable. ”
"What kind of cooperation model?"
"Grandpa. You should know that our Chamber of Commerce has always cooperated with the Grand Wizard of Eysenka, right?"
"Eisenka?" Camila Magister let out a breath of disdain from her nose. "This guy took so many gold coins and resources from our Chamber of Commerce, and as a result, he has researched some things that are useless. I advise you to stop working with him sooner rather than later. ”
"We don't care why he hasn't researched much. However, I think this kind of cooperation model funded by our chamber of commerce and inviting other capable magicians to join in and conduct joint research. For example, as long as the Arista Magister agrees this time, the research on the topic of strong energy efficiency power output will be attended by one more Magister, and the time will be much less. Are you right?"
Camila Magister was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and nodded, "That's right. It's much better to have more people to help than if I was doing research alone. However, this will create a very strict problem. These research results should theoretically belong to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But if Arista takes these research results and gives them to the Maro Empire or someone else, what can you do to stop him?"
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For the time being...... There is no way. ”
"Then you still want to work with them. Aren't we giving away what we've worked so hard to work on?" shouted Magister Camilla, glaring.
"No, grandpa, you must not only see the possible harms, but also the benefits. Xu Yizheng said. "If you rely on us alone, a lot of research will be slow due to lack of manpower, and the energy-efficient power delivery that you're working on right now is one of them. While working with other mages risks leaking the results, we need them more than ever now. Do you think that in terms of the practical application of these magical research results, there is anyone on this continent who can compare to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"
Camila Magister fell silent for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she nodded slightly.
"Well, I'll admit you're right. However, Xu Yi, have you considered the consequences of these achievements being leaked to help other countries, especially large empires like the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, quickly master the manufacture of magical machinery?"
"Getting the rest of the continent to join the magic industry was my goal. Xu Yi smiled. "Of course, you don't need to worry about them overtaking our new flying chamber of commerce. Because it is not important to master only one or two technologies, it is the entire industrial system that is important. Without the support of a complete industrial system, they have only one or two technologies that will make no difference. ”
Camila Magister frowned and looked at Xu Yi: "Are you really so confident?"
"Of course. Xu Yi smiled confidently. "If you don't believe me, the Kingdom of Sark will give you a good example. ”
###
In January 3792 of the continental calendar, the exhibition of military magic machinery of the Kingdom of Sark was officially held in the city of Orama, the largest city in the southeast of the Kingdom of Sark.
After two months of preparation, the total number of people participating in this exhibition even exceeded 100,000, and the number of representatives of countries and other forces who were invited and asked to participate was as high as thousands, and almost the entire country on the continent of Sainz sent representatives.
The exhibition lasted for half a month before it came to an end.
Later, according to the official announcement of the Kingdom of Sark, at this exhibition, the Kingdom of Sark sold 13,000 magic cannons, with a total price of more than six million gold coins.
In addition, it has also received orders related to various other military magic machinery developed by the Kingdom of Sark, involving a total amount of more than 7 million gold coins.
For such a small country as the Kingdom of Sark, this can be described as an exceptionally successful product exhibition.
Therefore, in the official announcement of the Kingdom of Sark, this exhibition was highly praised, saying that this exhibition of the Kingdom of Sark fully demonstrated to everyone the important breakthrough of the Kingdom of Shack in the field of military magic machinery, and also made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce no longer the only manufacturer of military magic machinery, breaking the monopoly of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce......
The announcement of the Shack Kingdom directly pointed out the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce between the lines, and these military magic machines were originally directly aimed at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so after the exhibition, everyone's eyes were focused on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the normal situation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will obviously give a positive response or even a direct counterattack.
But the truth is...... The new flyer will not react at all.
Neither the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's own "Xinfei Magic Machinery Weekly" or the "Lampari Weekly", which has the closest relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is now regarded as the chief newspaper of the Lampari Kingdom, did not publish any comments from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the Sark Kingdom's magic machinery exhibition.
Similarly, in any other newspaper, there is no response from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to this matter.
It's like...... This incident has never happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Such a strange attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has aroused the suspicion of countless people, some people feel that this is because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to respond to this matter, while others feel that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce feels the threat from the Sark Kingdom, so they are unwilling, or even dare not respond head-on.
In some newspapers, there was even an argument that "the monopoly of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is threatened, and they are empty-minded!"
However, no matter what these newspapers reported, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still did not give any response, and everything was going on in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.
And for Hogan, the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Maro Empire, who was far away in the north of the Maro Empire, he had no time to care about the chaotic rumors in these countries in the southwest of the continent, and the countless things that needed to be done in front of him had kept him busy for several months, and he almost didn't even have time to rest.
The First Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has returned to the Duchy of Stantin, and the task left to Hogan is to prepare for the upcoming magical industrial base before the ice thaws and the port is unsealed.
First and foremost in these preparations is the issue of manpower.
Half a month ago, Hogan received a letter from the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, in which the President personally gave an approval to the question he had mentioned, saying that he could accept Baron Franklin's proposal to recruit heteroracial workers from the northern part of the Marlow Empire as a manpower supplement.
In order to show support for Hogan, along with this letter, there are also five workers from different orc clans who belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sent by the elder.
When dealing with a different race, it is obviously much more convenient to have the other person's race around.
After receiving the letter from the elder and the five orc workers sent, Hogan spent another half a month preparing before officially visiting the Wolf Werewolf Tribe, which is known as the largest orc tribe in the north of the Marlo Empire, today. (To be continued......)
