Chapter 40 Different Ideas

Seeing the office door slowly closing, Xu Yi's right hand fingers resting on the table curled up, and while tapping on the table lightly, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

He has known Kennard for more than twelve years, and Kennard has worked under him for twelve years.

In the past twelve years, Kennard has always been an extremely outstanding CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, and is fully responsible for the specific internal management and many external affairs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It has to be said that Kennard is worthy of being the family successor cultivated by the Emma family. He has super multi-faceted qualities and is very suitable for this management position that requires extremely strong capabilities. Being organized in an orderly manner saved Xu Yi a lot of energy and time.

If possible, Xu Yi certainly hopes that he can continue to serve in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce until he eventually grows old.

However, from Kennard's words just now, Xu Yi smelled something unusual.

That is ambition.

Yes, ambition.

During the twelve years that Kennard had worked for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he had basically been doing his best for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the development strategy formulated by Xu Yi honestly, and never exceeded the rules.

However, his proposal today reveals that he also has his own ambition after all.

In other words, this can be regarded as representing the ambitions of many people within the chamber of commerce.

Xu Yi has always been willing to view and operate the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a simple chamber of commerce, and use this as the development direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But many senior executives in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including Kennard, probably don't think so.

In the past, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was small and not strong, this could not be reflected.

But after the conflict with the Magic Kingdom of Mana six years ago. And after the conflict with the Dro Kingdom this year. All found out. The strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has become extremely powerful without knowing it, and even the two empires have to be a bit scruples about it.

This made some people's minds active, including Kennard.

Although Kennard's second proposal of "directly destroying the Dro Kingdom" was mentioned by him, Xu Yi could tell that this was probably his real idea.

Different from the Principality of Standing, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really sent troops to destroy the Dro Kingdom, then according to the rules on this continent and the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Then all countries and people on the mainland will acquiesce that the Dro Kingdom will be incorporated into the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from then on.

Xu Yi didn't doubt this, nor did he doubt that the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had the ability to do this.

But if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really included the Dro Kingdom under its own name, it would be impossible to use a Congress as a cover to secretly control it like the Principality of Standing, but it is necessary to truly form a government belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce organization to control.

And if this is really done, the nature of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably change, from a normal chamber of commerce to a national organization.

This change is undoubtedly huge, but it is something that some senior executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce headed by Kennard are happy to see.

After all, the people on the Sainz continent, especially the nobles who are influenced by traditional ideas, attach great importance to the control of the land.

from their perspective. No matter how powerful a businessman is, he still cannot control enough land. In fact, it is still far inferior to the nobles in terms of status.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can officially control the entire Dro Kingdom, it will be a huge leap for Kennard.

Kennard has revealed this to Xu Yi more than once when they worked together in the past few years.

And this time's statement, to him, can be regarded as very naked.

In other words, this time can also be regarded as a test for him, to test Xu Yi's attitude towards this.

If Xu Yi is willing to do this, then with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it will not be difficult to achieve the destruction of the Dro Kingdom and make it completely fall under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And once this goal is achieved, then Xu Yi can fully imagine that in the future, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably go further and further on this road, and eventually embark on the road of competing for hegemony over the entire continent.

At that time, I am afraid that even if Xu Yi is unwilling, he can only help himself.

"But I don't want to now..."

Xu Yi sighed lightly.

At this time, he really hoped that he was one of those overlord-level protagonists who longed to conquer the whole world after traveling to another world, but he knew very well that he was not this type, and he really had no interest.

If you do it reluctantly, you may not get good results in the end.

Moreover, establishing a country and striving for hegemony on the entire continent is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult in practice.

Xu Yi didn't have this interest, let alone the time.

Therefore, Xu Yi can only express his apologies for the ambition in the hearts of Kennard and many senior executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Maybe Kennard will regret that he followed the wrong person?" Xu Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, and after thinking for a while, he got up and left the office.

After leaving the main building of the chamber of commerce, Xu Yi drove the magic car all the way to the beach.

It was already mid-August, and it was the hottest stage.

The scorching sun poured down from the top of the head, making the interior of the magic car extremely hot.

Xu Yi did not turn on the magical air conditioner in the car, but opened all the windows, increased the speed, and drove towards the beach at high speed with the oncoming hot wind blowing.

It didn't take long for him to come to the watchtower set up on a cliff somewhere by the sea.

"Master President, you are here again."

As soon as he got out of the car, there was a crisp shout from above his head.

Xu Yi looked up at the young man in the work uniform of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who poked his head down from the observation deck, smiled and raised his hand, and then flew up directly with the magic power in his body.

"Bensac, how's the situation? Have you noticed any movement in the past few days?" Xu Yi asked the young man as he walked towards the side of the observatory near the endless sea.

"Nothing happened." The young man called Bensak shook his head. "If anything is found, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Xu Yi nodded. Noncommittal to this answer.

Come to the edge of the lookout. Xu Yi observed the sea surface in the distance with the special binoculars specially placed here, and found that because it was approaching the afternoon, the bright sunlight reflected on the sea surface had already brought out a tinge of bright red, and it was no longer as white as it was at noon.

After staring at the place where the sea level and the sky meet in the distance, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

The ocean-going exploration fleet has been sailing for nearly ten months, but there is still no news sent back, which makes him a little worried.

Although it was agreed that this exploration voyage should be completed within one year, according to the speed of the magic ship. Even if the planet under our feet is larger than the earth, ten months is enough for an ocean-going exploration fleet to travel around the world two or three times without any problem.

Counting what happened halfway, those ten months were more than enough.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He had considered this issue before, if he could hang a few communication satellites on this planet, then he wouldn't have to worry about communicating with the ocean-going exploration fleet.

But for the current Sainz continent, this technology is still too far away, and he can only be forced to accept the reality.

"Master President, did you encounter any troublesome things?" Bensak, who was on the side, couldn't help asking curiously when he saw Xu Yi frowning and staring at the sky.

Xu Yi turned his head and took a look. He smiled and waved his hand.

He has a lot of troubles, but it doesn't matter whether it is the disagreement between the senior executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represented by Kennard and his own ideas. It doesn't matter if he can't communicate with the ocean-going exploration fleet, Bensak, a young man who is only responsible for guarding the watchtower here, can't help him.

After another glance at the sea level in the distance, Xu Yi patted Bensak on the shoulder, encouraged him, and flew down, intending to leave.

"Master President, when will you come next time?" Bensak suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly.

Xu Yi waved at him: "Come back when you're in the mood, and watch carefully."

Bensak grumbled, and retreated somewhat dejectedly.

He originally thought that the chairman would come here every other day recently, maybe because he took a fancy to him and planned to promote him in some way, but looking at the attitude of the chairman now, it seems that he has no such intention at all.

"Does it mean that we still have to stay in this boring place?"

Hearing the sound of the magic car starting up from under the observation deck, Bensak sighed, and moved to the special telescope to look at the sea level in the distance.

"What's so interesting about this? The chairman actually cares so much? Isn't it just the surface of the sea, it's not surprising at all, I..."

Bensak's eyes widened suddenly, he stared at the distant sky at the junction with the sea level, and then reacted quickly, rushing to the edge of the observation deck as fast as possible.

"Master President! There is a situation! There is a situation!"

At this time, Xu Yi had just started the magic car and completed the U-turn, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Bensak's shout and stopped in shock.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yi asked, poking his head out of the car window.

"Then...the seaside...there are...there are..." Bensak waved his arms in an incoherent manner. "There...something is flying over!"

"Fly over?" Xu Yi was startled.

He first thought of the seabird, and then thought that if it was a seabird, Bensak would never be so excited.

Immediately he thought of another possibility.

"Could it be the magic airship sent back by the ocean exploration fleet?"

Thinking of this, Xu Yi opened the car door, activated his magic power, and instantly reached the observation deck.

"Over there! Over there..." Bensak pointed to the distant sea and said eagerly to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi walked quickly to the special binoculars, closed his eyes, and looked into the distance.

After a while, Xu Yi opened his mouth slightly and spit out a word full of surprise.

"Dragon..." (to be continued...)
