Chapter 99 Negotiations with the Military Department

Sevigny's face was half-smiling, and with the seriousness in her eyes, people couldn't tell whether she was joking or not.

Xu Yi quickly said with a smile: "Your Highness, Princess, you are really joking. I am a loyal and law-abiding citizen, how could I think of rebelling? Besides, our chamber of commerce has only recruited less than 300 magicians this time. Have the ability to rebel?"

"Do you think there are too few three hundred magicians?" Sevigny glared at Xu Yi lightly. "You must know that even in the Kingdom's army, the number of magicians in a legion is only five hundred. And don't forget, there is still a great magician in your new flying merchants' association!"

"His Royal Highness, you can't wrong me like that." Xu Yi quickly called out. "Our chamber of commerce recruits so many magicians because of work needs, but it has nothing to do with rebellion. Even the great magician Camilla is only in charge of researching magical machinery in the chamber of commerce. Do you think I dare to command him to rebel? ?"

"Of course you don't dare." Sevigny shook his head, and then sighed: "But some people think you dare. Do you know that because of this matter, someone has already spoken in front of the father and said that your new flight chamber of commerce has not only recruited such a There are many magicians, and so many foreigners have also been recruited, so they must have bad intentions. I hope that the father will be more vigilant about the new flying merchants, and even supervise them directly."

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed: "This person is too dare to slander, right? Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just doing business honestly, and we recruited those foreigners just because of the special abilities of the foreigners, why did the intentions go wrong? ? I don't think His Majesty will believe such nonsense?"

"Father, of course, will not listen to these words. It just means that as the reputation of your new flying chamber of commerce increases, someone has noticed you and wants to do something to you. I hope you can improve in the future. Be vigilant, don't leave too many clues to others. For example... This time your factory has recruited another 300 elves, but you have never submitted their labor certification applications to the Kingdom Council. This is actually a matter of fact. Even if it can be regarded as a proof of your wrongdoing."

Xu Yi patted his head, hehe smiled and said, "I've been so busy during this time. I forgot about it for a while. That's good, I'll count the list in the next two days, and then go to apply for a labor certificate for them. I promise not to. Let Her Royal Highness worry about us again."

"It's strange not to worry." Sevigny sighed softly. Shaking his head, he took out a document from his small bag and gave it to Xu Yi. "I've already submitted the application for you. You just need to fill in the list, and I'll fill in their names."

Xu Yi took a look at the application and found that all the procedures were actually complete, only one list was needed.

Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, Princess, you really take care of me, I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you."

"You don't need to express it, just do what you and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are doing in Bangta City." Sevigny smiled. "I heard that the great magician Camilla joined your New Flying Chamber of Commerce because he found that what your New Flying Chamber of Commerce was doing could improve the lives of ordinary people in Bangta City. The same is true for me. As long as If you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can continue to do this, I will always support you."

Xu Yi shrugged: "Since everyone can see that what we and I have done is beneficial to everyone, why would anyone maliciously slander us?"

"Because the benefit has nothing to do with them, and because their position is different from yours."

Sevigny responded vaguely, without further explanation. He waved to Xu Yi and took Xu Yi to another hidden room in the city lord's mansion where the two met.

There were two people sitting in the room. When they saw Sevigny entering the door, they immediately stood up and gave Sevigny a salute together.

Xu Yi's eyes swept over the two of them, and found that the thinner one of the two showed a shrewd air in his gestures, standing upright. Without squinting, you can recognize at a glance that he should be from the military.

On the other hand, the other middle-aged man with a moderate stature had a friendly smile on his face, looking very friendly, just like an ordinary businessman.

"Let me introduce, this is Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Sevigny pointed to Xu Yi and introduced them to the two.

"President Xu, I've heard your name for a long time. It's a great honor to finally meet the real person today." The middle-aged man like a businessman immediately stretched out his hands and clasped Xu Yi's right hand tightly. A look of closeness. "Let me introduce myself, I'm Major Maiconli from the Logistics Department of the Kingdom's Military Department. My main purpose is to help the Kingdom's soldiers manage the logistics. That is, to help the brothers buy clothes to wear, food to eat, etc. Anyway, anyway. It's just a chore."

Xu Yi put his other hand on it and held it with Major McConley, also showing a warm smile.

"Speaking of which, everyone is actually the same. As the chairman, I am actually responsible for taking care of these chores for the employees in the chamber of commerce."

Major McConley laughed: "That's great. President Xu and I will definitely have a lot of things to talk about."

Xu Yi smiled, thinking that this Major McConley said it so modestly, but in fact, the Military Logistics Department is the most powerful place in the Kingdom's military department. This Major McConley can be in charge of the logistics department, regardless of personal ability To talk about it, it is absolutely necessary to have a very deep background.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yi looked at the other person.

The man seemed to be around forty years old. Seeing Xu Yi's gaze, he didn't say much, just nodded slightly to Xu Yi and said expressionlessly, "My name is Sahas."

Seeing that the character of this Sahas is completely different from that of Major McConley, Xu Yi didn't say much, just smiled and nodded to him and said, "Nice to meet you."

Seeing that the three of them knew each other, Sevigny motioned everyone to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "President Xu, this time I came to you with Major McConley and Major Sahas, just to ask you about Regarding the issue of the arsenal, I hope your full cooperation."

"It's easy to say." Xu Yi nodded and looked at Major McConley.

Judging from the expressions of the three, it should be the head of the military logistics department who asked the main question this time.

Sure enough, Maiconli coughed lightly, sorted out the look on his face, restrained his smile, and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, let me give you some good news first. The arsenal supervised by the military has now been built, but there is currently a lack of it. The corresponding magic machine equipment can be put into use. I would like to ask, when will the magic machine equipment for the production of armor and weapons that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promised to deliver?"

"Actually, our Chamber of Commerce has been secretly producing the corresponding magic machine tools since the last time we discussed with Her Royal Highness the Queen and decided to build an arsenal. Now we have completed a series of magic machine tools that are enough to start two production lines at the same time, which can be delivered at any time." Xu also replied.

McConley and Sahas looked at each other with a hint of joy on their faces.

"Then President Xu, according to the agreement you signed with Her Royal Highness, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must provide not only magic machine tools, but also corresponding technicians to help guide the military to master the techniques and specifications of how to use these magic machine tools. These technicians, are you ready?" McConley asked again.

"There is no problem in this regard. I selected the corresponding skilled workers from among the hundred slaves in my own name. Because of their identities, I can guarantee that they will not reveal their secrets. Of course, for the sake of prudence, I propose to These slaves are transferred to Her Royal Highness, and the Queen will control them. I believe this will make it easier for the military to control." Xu Yidao.

Sevigny, McConley, and Sahas all looked a little stunned.

McGonley couldn't help but coughed. In fact, Xu Yi had told Sevigny that the corresponding skilled workers would be selected from his slaves. In this negotiation with Xu Yi, McGonley had originally I planned to propose this condition on behalf of the military, but I didn't expect Xu Yi to propose it now.

"President Xu, I have to say, you are very wise." Maiconli praised, turned to Sevigny and asked, "Her Royal Highness, what do you think?"

Sevigny took a deep look at Xu Yi and nodded: "Okay, just do as President Xu said, these slaves will be transferred to my name. But President Xu, according to my understanding of you, you Shouldn't you give me these slaves for no reason?"

Xu Yi smiled: "Your Highness, you really know me very well. Indeed, these slaves are not only my precious private property, but also very important skilled workers in our chamber of commerce. Suddenly their words are lost, whether it is for me or not. It's a huge loss to our Chamber of Commerce. If Her Royal Highness and the military don't give me some proper compensation, it's a bit unreasonable."

Mai Kongli laughed: "President Xu is right, there is no free lunch in this world. Since President Xu has paid the price, then he is qualified to put forward conditions. President Xu, please offer your conditions. .As long as it's not too much, now that Her Royal Highness is here, she can absolutely make the decision and promise you."

Sevigny didn't speak, just nodded slightly to express his approval.

Xu Yi looked at the slightly nervous three people, smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course I won't put too many conditions. Hmm... This condition is very simple. In the future, the Kingdom's military will be in the territory controlled by the Kingdom of Sark. All minerals are mined by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.”

The faces of the three of them changed.

Sevigny barely thought about it, and blurted out: "It's impossible!"
