Chapter 25 Communication Coverage
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Marquis Southgate with a strange expression.
The Marquis Lord's proposal seems very reasonable at first glance. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't care about anything, it just allows the other party to hang its own brand, and there is no real loss at all.
But if it is really investigated, this is exactly the deck that is hated by many manufacturers on the earth, or it is simply a counterfeit brand.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't answer, Marquis Southgate seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and added with a smile: "I forgot to mention it. President Xu, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can get 30% of the profits for the household magic machines produced in this way." ,Do you think it fits?"
Xu Yi blinked, then slowly but firmly shook his head.
"no."
Marquis Southgate was taken aback for a moment.
He thought that he had come to discuss with Xu Yi with good intentions, and even voluntarily gave up 30% of the profits to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which was enough to give Xu Yi face.
If it weren't for the super reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the entire continent and the gradually emerging strong influence in the Maro Empire, he would never have considered coming to discuss with Xu Yi at all, and would have started production directly.
In the end, it was just a signboard of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce dared to really trouble him?
But I didn't expect Xu Yi to refuse so simply now, not even a little softening tone, it can be regarded as leaving no room for it.
"President Xu, what's wrong with this?" Marquis Southgate asked with a frown. "It's just that you put up the brand of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It doesn't affect anything. If you are afraid that the quality of our products will be insufficient, which will affect the reputation of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then you can send someone here to supervise and guide the production. Guarantee Quality."
Seeing Marquis Southgate's disapproving expression, Xu Yi almost couldn't help sneering.
This Lord Marquis really had a good plan. He not only wanted to put the brand of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the household magic machinery under his name, so as not to worry about sales, but even wanted Xu Yi to send technicians to help him.
In this way, the products produced by the household magic machinery factory under the name of Marquis Southgate are completely comparable to the products manufactured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself, and at the same time can hang the brand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It will inevitably be extremely popular, and the profits will be extremely considerable without even thinking about it.
But the price that Marquis Southgate paid was nothing more than 30% of the profit and a part of the manpower that was nothing to him.
"No, Lord Marquis, this is impossible." Thinking of this, Xu Yi replied with a firmer tone, assuming a non-negotiable appearance. "Only the household magic machinery products produced by the factory fully invested and controlled by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can bear the brand of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and no other similar products can."
Marquis Southgate frowned deeply: "Really?"
"Really can not."
Marquis Southgate looked directly into Xu Yi's eyes, and Xu Yi stared at him in the same way. Not the slightest dodge.
After a while, the corners of Marquis Southgate's mouth rose. Haha laughed.
"Well, since President Xu disagrees, forget it. Well, now that I think about it, it's true that I was thinking too simply. President Xu, don't mind."
Xu Yi also laughed: "It's nothing, since everyone is a partner, if you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up. Regardless of success or failure, this will not affect our relationship, will it?"
Marquis Southgate nodded: "Well, that's right, there are still many places for us to cooperate. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time."
Seeing the very refreshing smile on Marquis Southgate's face, Xu Yi smiled, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Marquis Southgate's sudden request was clearly a temptation.
But the result was that Xu Yi didn't give him the slightest room for negotiation, which of course would affect the relationship between the two parties.
But Xu Yi couldn't help it. The Marquis Southgate's request had already touched one of his principles, and it was absolutely impossible for him to agree.
Instead of being ambiguous and vague, which may cause misunderstandings, it is better to make it clear directly, set your bottom line, and let the other party recognize the facts earlier.
"By the way, Lord Marquis, last time you said that your personal guard wanted to replace a batch of magic crossbows, right?" Xu Yi asked suddenly.
Marquis Southgate glanced at Xu Yi, his expression changed, he nodded with a smile and replied: "Yes. But last time you said that your Chamber of Commerce has greatly reduced the production of magic crossbows, and instead concentrated on the production of higher-end military magic. Machinery, so there is no way to supply it.”
"Well, it was indeed like this before. But last month, the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari underwent a costume change, and a batch of magic crossbows they used were eliminated. If you want, I can find them For the sake of the Zhenbei Army, take a batch of eliminated magic crossbows and deliver them to you." Xu Yidao.
"Really?" Marquis Southgate's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: "Since they were eliminated...won't they all be broken?"
"It's only a small part that is broken, and most of them are still good. Because this is just a normal outfit change, not really eliminated." Xu Yi explained.
"Oh? That sounds pretty good. President Xu, can you really get some for me?"
"As long as you really need it, Lord Marquis, I will take care of this matter." Xu Yi said seriously.
Marquis Southgate pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll leave it to Chairman Xu."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Marquis Southgate knew very well that Xu Yi's sudden mention of this matter was clearly because he had rejected his request just now and made compensation in other ways.
In fact, if it is just a batch of magic crossbows, it is not particularly important in itself, but the attitude Xu Yi expressed through this incident made Marquis Southgate very satisfied.
This proves that Xu Yi still hopes to continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with him, and as long as this is confirmed, a small setback is nothing.
For the next three days, Xu Yi stayed in the private territory of the Marquis of Southgate. Through the relationship of the Marquis of Southgate, he communicated with other members of the Marlow Empire who had had many contacts with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. The nobles met and discussed.
Including the Duke of Macaroth, who has the best personal relationship with the Marquis of Southgate, a total of 17 great nobles above the Marquis of the Marlow Empire, 76 earls and smaller nobles below the earl have all been in harmony with each other. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed a letter of intent for the establishment of the magic communication network.
Next, they will make a final decision based on the establishment of the magic communication network by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the private domain of Marquis Southgate, whether to also set up a magic communication network in their own private domain.
The private territories of these nobles are all in the same province, and the distance between them is not too far. If they add up, they occupy more than a quarter of the area of the province.
Akali and her team have made detailed calculations on these private territories before, and finally came to the conclusion that if the magic power communication network can be successfully set up in these private territories of the nobles, then with the current magic power signal tower signal the farthest The transmission distance has broken through to an ultra-long distance of eight kilometers. In the end, the area covered by the magic signal will not only be a quarter of the area of this province, but nearly half of it!
Next, it is only necessary to erect part of the magic power signal towers for connection in the middle blank area of these nobles' private territories as a transit, then the magic power signal can be transmitted without hindrance in the private territories of these nobles, so that they can pass through the magic power at any time. Communication network for dialogue.
Once this goal is achieved, the coverage area of the magic communication network will exceed half of the province, and the distance from covering the entire province will not be too far away.
Of course, the reason why these nobles are so active in laying out the magic power communication network is that, apart from Marquis Southgate taking the first step ahead, the most important reason is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the high-level Marlow Empire reached an agreement. It was decided to try to promote the magic network communication in the Maro Empire.
The private domain of the Marquis Southgate was the selected pilot site. As for the other nobles who participated, some of them were persuaded by the Marquis Southgate, and some of them volunteered to join.
Now it is different from a few years ago. Under the vigorous promotion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, most countries and people on the Sainz continent have correctly recognized the role of the magic communication network, and they will not regard it as a kind The former kind of evil magic tower that can control people's hearts.
So even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn't say it, there are still many people who are willing to try this legendary magical device that allows you to communicate with other people far away.
According to the preliminary plan, after the magic power communication network is successfully established in the private territories of these nobles, if the Maro Empire finds the effect satisfactory, it will be further promoted throughout the province. The ultimate goal is to allow the magic power communication signal to cover all The entire Marlo Empire.
As for Xu Yi, his first goal is to simultaneously develop the magic power communication network in the Maro Empire and the Falk Kingdom, and then connect the magic power communication networks of these two countries together, and then successfully connect to Drake The principality's magical communication network.
In the end, you can fully integrate into the magical communication network that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has basically completed in the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Kingdom of Rulson.
If this goal is achieved, these countries will be able to conduct barrier-free long-distance communication in the future, which will bring great convenience.
As far as Xu Yi is concerned, at least he doesn't need to do anything casually, so he has to go to the Maro Empire, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away.
If he has so much time, he might as well spend more time with the children at home... (To be continued...)
