Chapter 127 Anti-Electric Camby
"Master President, you..." Kennard frowned at Xu Yi, shook his head after holding it for a long time, and sighed: "When I was in contact with the presidents of other chambers of commerce in the city, I often heard Some people say you're a loser. At first I didn't know why they judged you that way, but now... I can only say they're too right."
Xu Yi smiled, as if he didn't care about this evaluation at all.
"It can't be considered a loser. This time, in order to obtain the cement production technology, the Ruelson Kingdom has to pay a full 500,000 gold coins. And it also promises to make a certain amount of money for any chamber of commerce that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sells to their country in the future. The proportion of tariff concessions, so I think it is very profitable."
"But Mr. President, according to the financial statistics of the Chamber of Commerce last month provided by Director Sebas, the cement factory provided the Chamber of Commerce with a huge profit of more than 70,000 gold coins. But it will directly lose the market of the Ruelson Kingdom, and the loss is probably more than ten and half a million gold coins. Do you think this is worthwhile?" Kennard asked with a sad face.
"Ten 500,000 gold coins? No, no, your estimate is too small. If the Ruelson Kingdom follows the example of our Lampari Kingdom and starts to build roads aggressively, the amount of cement consumed will be astronomical. In the end, the cost on this will at least exceed tens of millions of gold coins." Xu Yi said.
"Then why did you agree to sell them production technology?" Kennard couldn't help but ask.
"Kennard, after all, you haven't worked with me long enough to understand my intentions." Xu Yi sighed. "If Heinze were here, although he would definitely call me a prodigal, he would definitely be able to understand what I'm thinking now."
Kennard shook his head: "Of course I can't understand you better than Vice President Heinze. And I really don't understand your thoughts."
"Remember what I said to you before you decided to join our chamber of commerce as general manager?" Xu Yi asked.
Kennard thought for a moment. "You mean 'going into space'?"
"Almost." Xu Yi nodded. "I think you should be very clear how far my ideal is, even unrealistic. But in order to achieve this goal, I have to continue to speed up the process. So if you look closely at what I have done since the founding of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce . You will find that I have never been particularly concerned about the exclusive use of technology by our chamber of commerce, and I often sell it on my own initiative, or even give it away for nothing."
"Well, this is something I don't quite understand." Kennard nodded honestly. "If all the technologies that the Chamber of Commerce has sold were kept in its own hands, I'm sure that the profits of our Chamber of Commerce would now be more stable and more durable."
"But it will take longer." Xu Yi said. "Of course I know what kind of rhythm I should maintain as a normal chamber of commerce. But if I maintain this rhythm, my ideal will never be realized in my life. So I have to actively promote this process. , making this continent's development in the magic industry faster."
"But what does this have to do with your decision to sell your cement production technology to the Kingdom of Roulson?" Kennard asked.
Xu Yi smiled and pointed to the flat road not far from the window: "In fact, the main problem that restricts the development of this continent is traffic. Roads can greatly improve this problem, so even if Newman does not make this request. I It has long been planned to sell cement production technology, so that cement factories can be built everywhere in the kingdom of Lampari, and the construction of roads in the kingdom is accelerated. Now is the time, Kennard, you will host a press conference tomorrow, will The news is out that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will sell cement production technology.”
Seeing Xu Yi's decision, Kennard had no choice but to nod.
Seeing Kennard's face is still a little puzzled. Xu Yi patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Kennard, to be the general manager under my command, you have to straighten your chest and keep your eyes looking straight ahead. Before you achieve your goals and mine, everything must be done. All irrelevant thoughts should be thrown away, understand?"
Kennard showed a wry smile: "But Lord President, the steps you took are too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
###
The day after Xu Yi returned to Bangta City. Kennard followed his orders and called a press conference.
At the press conference, Kennard announced that it would sell cement production technology, which immediately caused another sensation.
As soon as the news was received, countless chambers of commerce in Bangta City and surrounding cities came to inquire about the price of purchasing this technology.
Although the high price of 500,000 gold coins frightened most of the chambers of commerce, there were still two chambers of commerce that put forward purchase demands.
In this way, including the Amli Chamber of Commerce, it is only in Bangta City and several nearby cities. There are three chambers of commerce that want to buy the technology.
As a result, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received a technology transfer fee of 1.5 million gold coins.
This is just the beginning.
A week later, other chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom also received the news, and they also flocked. In the end, as many as eight chambers of commerce purchased cement production technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Totally count. In the Kingdom of Lampari alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce received a huge sum of 5.5 million gold coins for the sale of this technology.
Coupled with the 500,000 gold coins of the Ruelson Kingdom, the sale of this technology has brought a terrible profit of 6 million gold coins to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!
Seeing this terrifying benefit, Kennard's opposition to Xu Yi's decision instantly disappeared.
As Xu Yi said, cement production technology is not really a sophisticated technology. In fact, after such a long period of practical use, the Amri Chamber of Commerce has already figured out a part. Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not sell it, I am afraid it will not take much time. The Amley Chamber of Commerce will thoroughly research this technology, thereby getting rid of its dependence on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Instead of being passive at the time, it is better to actively sell now, and still get such a huge amount of income.
Xu Yi's decision had an immediate effect.
Less than half a month after the cement production technology was sold, as many as a dozen cement factories, large and small, popped up in Bangta City and several surrounding cities.
Three of them are naturally built by the three chambers of commerce that purchased this technology, as for the others...
Xu Yicai didn't bother to care how these cement factories came into being, because he had more important things to do now.
"Camby, be careful! Don't touch it with your hands, this thing has electricity, be careful that it hits you!" Xu Yi shouted loudly to stop Camby from moving the generator with his hands.
"What are you afraid of when there is electricity?" Camby shook his arm nonchalantly. "More than a hundred years ago, when I fought with a human magician. I was hacked several times by the human magician with lightning magic, but nothing happened. I don't believe that such a small thing can be better than advanced magic. sharp."
After all, Camby ignored Xu Yi's stop and reached out to touch the generator that was running at high speed.
"呲呲呲呲—"
There was a sound of electric current that made everyone horrified, and everyone only saw the slightest blue electric light emitting from Camby's body, and the short but stout body kept shaking, which looked funny but frightening.
Xu Yi made a decisive decision and quickly stopped the generator to continue running. Then the magic power circulated in the body, expelling all the electric charges flowing from Camby's body.
However, even if Xu Yi responded quickly enough, Camby was still stunned.
Although the dwarves were born with strong physique and strong anti-magic attributes, Camby was not injured this time, but the electric current burned his clothes to charcoal. Even his original brown hair was burnt and stood up comically like a broom.
When everyone saw Camby's current appearance, they couldn't help laughing at the same time.
In particular, the other dwarves in the magic machine tool research workshop pointed at Camby and laughed, almost rolling on the ground.
Camby shivered hard after staying for a long time, and looked at the generator that had stopped with some fear. Surprised, he said to Xu Yi: "President, this thing is too strong, right? I feel it is more powerful than your human magician's seventh-level electric magic."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him: "Nonsense, the seventh-level electrical magic generally has no voltage even 400 volts. Don't underestimate this generator, the voltage generated is at least 1,000 volts, and of course it is more powerful. Let you Don't listen to my warning, do you feel better now?"
Camby touched the standing hair on his head and laughed twice. He asked again: "President, what do you mean by voltage and volts?"
"This is a bit troublesome to explain. When I have time, I will write a basic knowledge of electricity for you to read, and then you will understand. Now let's take a look at the operation of this generator? It should have been running just now. It has been more than an hour, right? If there is no problem, the preliminary test should be considered a success." Xu Yi said.
Watching a few dwarves approach the generator carefully, after confirming that the generator no longer discharges electricity. Only then began to check the generator structure, Xu Yi was a little amused.
Relying on their thick skin and flesh, these dwarves reminded them several times that they would not listen to the danger of electric shock. Now Camby has been taught a lesson. Presumably, when they face the generator again, their safety awareness should be improved.
Compared with the ultra-small wind generator that Xu Yi used in the magician qualification examination, which was less than the size of a palm, the generator that Xu Yi researched together with the dwarves after returning to Bangta City now is not. Already as wide as Camby's waist, it looked huge on the ground.
However, compared with the generator sets of those power stations on earth, this is still only a small generator, and it still uses the power provided by the wind magic array to generate electricity.
Compared to generating power, the biggest problem with this generator is the coil material.
Because the Lampari Kingdom has strict control over copper mines, Xu Yi was temporarily unable to obtain a large amount of copper from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to make coils, so he had to use aluminum instead.
However, even if it is aluminum, it is still a rare item on the Sainz Continent. The aluminum used by Xu Yi to make this generator is still hard to find from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.
And the aluminum used to make this generator is not well refined, and the quality of the coils is very poor, causing the generator to run for at most one hour before failure.
In just these three days of experiments, dozens of sets of aluminum coils were scrapped, and all the aluminum materials that Xu Yi had finally obtained were about to be consumed.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi could only shake his head slightly.
It seems that even if it is the experiment of the generator, the first thing to solve is the material problem.
If you want to carry out more in-depth experiments, you can only wait for the official mining of non-ferrous metal veins, and there is enough aluminum or even copper to provide it.
As for making the entire Bangta City use electricity, making this city, as Xu Yi imagined, become a city that never sleeps the same as those on the earth, it can only exist in the imagination at present.
The dwarves were still busy around the generator, but Xu Yi looked in the direction of the Black Rice Wasteland outside the window.
When you think of mining the non-ferrous metal veins of the Woller werewolf tribe, you have to go to the Black Rice Wasteland, and when you think of the Black Rice Wasteland, you also think of the Principality of Standing, which borders the Black Rice Wasteland.
The guy in Anklu is still waiting in Bangta City, so when should he leave?
