Chapter 147 Give Them a Taste of Sweetness

As the deep winter approached, the weather in Sewell City became colder and colder.

Early this morning, the sky was already covered with snowflakes, and each piece was like cotton wool, smashed down one by one, and it only took one morning to dye the inside and outside of Sewell City into a piece of snow white.

Looking out from the window on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, apart from the white snow that can be seen everywhere, there are only blocks of black stone brick walls that are more clearly reflected in the snow, like ugly scars condensed on the In this pure white world.

"Count Summer, I have to say that the color of your house in Sewell City is really not good-looking, especially after it snows." Princess Caroline retracted her gaze from the window, and shook her head at Earl Summer.

Earl Summer and Xu Yi at the side looked at each other and laughed: "Your Highness, don't you think a black house will give people a warm feeling? Your Duchy of Drake is closer to the north than here, so it should be easier to understand this That's right."

"No, the houses in our Principality of Draco are all crimson. Compared with the gloomy black, I think flame-like red can give people a better warm feeling in winter." Caroline The princess shook her head. "More importantly, red is far more beautiful than black, isn't it?"

Earl Summer shook his head slightly, deciding not to continue arguing with Princess Caroline on this issue.

Years of life experience told him that arguing with women, especially about aesthetics, is completely asking for trouble and meaningless.

Xu Yi on the side smiled and said, "Theoretically speaking, color will indeed have a certain impact on your psychology. But compared to making people feel warm psychologically, it is obviously more direct to make people feel warm physically. It works, doesn't it?"

Princess Caroline glanced over beautifully. Smile lightly. He unceremoniously sat down next to Xu Yi. Xiang Xu Yi asked softly: "Then President Xu, I proposed to you before that we should directly establish a household magic machinery factory in our Principality of Drake. What do you think? If we can directly produce magic air conditioners in the Principality, I will I think people in our principality will not be so obsessed with the color of the house."

Xu Yi coughed lightly, and was forced to tilt his head slightly by Princess Caroline's scorching gaze, and replied: "As I said before, it is no problem to invest and build a factory in your Principality of Drake. But how can your Principality ensure that Will the factories of our chamber of commerce not be threatened by the Kingdom of Sark?"

Princess Caroline snorted softly: "The city of Seweney is only about 100 kilometers away from the border of the Kingdom of Sark. Why don't you worry that building a factory here will be threatened by the Kingdom of Sark? In addition, if my news That's right, President Xu, your convoy was robbed on the way to Sewell City this time? I don't think you are much safer in the Kingdom of Lampari than in our Principality of Drake. "

Xu Yi and Earl Summer exchanged a look, thinking that even Princess Caroline knew the news, so anyone in the Kingdom of Lampari who wanted to know would know it too.

"Your Highness, I don't agree with this." Earl Summer said. "Now Sewell City not only has eight thousand well-equipped city guards, His Majesty the King has also sent over the third army of the Garrison Corps. The current garrison force of the entire Sewell City is more than 30,000, guarding a Sewell City. The city is still more than enough."

Princess Caroline glanced at Earl Summer. Rolling his eyes, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I was just joking. Indeed, President Xu, you may be a little worried about investing in our principality now, so you will never worry about safety issues when we cooperate to build a factory here gone?"

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing. It seems that Princess Caroline was just bargaining. Her original purpose was to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a factory in Sewell City.

Of course, this is also Xu Yi's plan, so he didn't refute, but nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem here. But Your Royal Highness, you want to invest in the establishment of the magic machine tool factory in cooperation with our chamber of commerce, and participate in the development of magic machine tools In the development and design, I forgive me for not agreeing to this. The technology related to the magic machine tool is not within the disclosure scope of our chamber of commerce, and we will not cooperate with anyone on this."

"Stingy..." Caroline rolled Xu Yi's eyes, her expression extremely charming. "If you don't let us participate in the design and development, then don't participate, but Chairman Xu, I mentioned to you before that our Principality has needs for various types of engineering magic machinery. I think we can always cooperate to build a Magic machine tool factory, although we do not participate in R&D and design, but this magic machine tool workshop has to carry out research and development according to our requirements, is this okay?"

"It's possible, but you have to remember that the research and development is only based on your requirements, not completely based on you. Do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yi said seriously.

"Of course I understand." Seeing Xu Yi agree, the smile on Princess Caroline's face immediately bloomed like a flower. Leaning closer to Xu Yi, he hugged his arm, cast a provocative wink at him and said, "You are a man, of course you want to take the initiative."

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Xu Yi smiled wryly, shook his head, stood up, and said to Earl Summer: "Master, the time is up, let's leave the city."

Earl Summer also got up immediately: "Okay, it's better to send those things directly to the factory, and save them from going to the city for nothing."

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Princess Caroline, thinking that she would definitely follow, but unexpectedly she smiled and shook her head.

"You go, I have to seriously consider the cooperation of this magic machine tool factory."

Xu Yi nodded, put on his coat with Earl Summer, and walked out of the city lord's mansion.

Earl Summer's private luxury carriage drove the two of them out of the city lord's mansion quickly, and drove towards the south gate of Sewell City.

"Xu Yi, do you really plan to cooperate with the Principality of Drake to build a magic machine tool factory?" Earl Summer glanced at the City Lord's Mansion, which was left behind by the carriage, and asked Xu Yi with a frown. "Even if you refuse the Principality of Drake's participation in the R&D and design, since this magic machine tool factory will develop corresponding engineering magic machines according to their requirements, some of the technology will inevitably leak out."

"I understand." Xu Yi nodded. "Actually. I did it on purpose."

"Oh? What do you think? Let's hear it." Earl Summer asked curiously.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment. Asked back: "My lord, you should be very clear. Compared with the Duchy of Drake, the Kingdom of Sark poses a greater threat to our Kingdom of Lampari?"

"Of course. The Duchy of Drake is just a small duchy, and it is impossible to pose any real threat to our Kingdom of Lampari." Earl Summer nodded.

"Then, Lord Earl, do you think... if the Principality of Draco is completely drawn to our side, will it threaten the Kingdom of Sark in turn?"

Earl Samo narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and nodded: "I understand what you mean. If the Duke of Drake can be completely pulled over, it will obviously be of great help to our Kingdom of Lampari. But have you I thought about a question. The reason why the Duke of Drake has been able to survive for so many years in the gap between us and the Kingdom of Sark is because they swayed back and forth, making both of us have scruples. If they really choose one of them, I’m afraid we will wait for them The only fate is destruction. Do you think they will do that?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "No matter how weak a country is, it will never give up the hope of becoming stronger, so Princess Caroline has always hoped that I can transfer the technology of magic power machines, especially military magic power machines, to the Duchy of Drake. Of course, it is impossible for me to agree to these conditions, but it is okay to let them taste a little bit of sweetness first. And when they taste a little bit of sweetness, they cannot help but choose."

Earl Summer looked at Xu Yi in a daze for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Sometimes I really don't know how to judge you. I say you are a political idiot. You are so sharp in these things. But are you really sure?" Can you grasp the measure of it?"

"This needs your attention and attention, Lord City Master." Xu Yi smiled. "If there is no accident, I will leave here in three days. I will go back to Bangta City. It is impossible to stay here in the future, so I can only do remote command for things here. How to do it depends on the city owner. My lord, you need to worry more."

Earl Summer nodded: "This is my responsibility as the city lord."

The carriage drove out of the south gate of Sewell City, and waited for about 20 minutes at the edge of the city. In the snowstorm in front of the road, a convoy of magic motorcycles slowly drove over.

Compared with the convoy led by Xu Yi before, this convoy of magic locomotives is even bigger and more spectacular, actually consisting of fifty magic freight locomotives!

And after the medium-sized magic bus that was walking in the front stopped, the first person to jump off was actually President Pompey from Felson's carriage.

Xu Yi jumped out of the carriage unexpectedly and greeted him.

"President Pomberry, why are you personally escorting this batch of goods?"

President Pompey's fat face was flushed red by the cold wind, and his body was trembling. When he saw Xu Yi, he immediately complained: "President Xu, I didn't think of this problem before, but this time I just I found out that when your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is building this medium-sized magic bus, can’t you install a magic air conditioner on it? It doesn’t take much trouble? And it’s very practical. It’s no problem if the Magic Bus pays an extra hundred gold coins!”

Xu Yi chuckled, thinking that the configuration and installation of the passenger magic locomotive should be done step by step, how could it be done in one step. And there are different prices for different grades. Of course, it is impossible to configure them all for you.

Of course, there is no need to tell President Pompeili about this, Xu Yi just smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will go back and tell the people in the R&D center to consider this issue. You have worked hard all the way, but Pang President Bailey, why did you come in person this time?"

"Isn't this just to see the Earl?" President Pomberry laughed and saluted Earl Summer who got off the carriage at this time. "Lord Earl, look, our Filson Carriage and Horse Company can transport so many goods from a place as far away as Bangta City. What do you think of our car and horse company's transportation capacity?"

Earl Summer nodded and said appreciatively, "Excellent. I think that in the entire Kingdom of Lampari, apart from your Felson Carriage and Horse Company, there is no other car and horse company that can complete such a difficult cargo transportation in this weather. mission."

President Pompey immediately burst into a smile with a fat face.

"Then, my lord earl, do you think that our Ferson Carriage and Horse Company is qualified to take over the transportation business of Sewell City?"

Xu Yi and Earl Summer looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Chairman Pomberry really worked really hard in order to expand the business scope of Felson's Car and Horse Company. (To be continued..)
