Chapter 48 Land for Technology

The subject of the conversation between the two was actually a deal.

After receiving the news that His Royal Highness Prince Eric took over as the king of the Lampari Kingdom, Xu Yi proposed to Earl Weilun that he wanted to rent another piece of land from his name to expand the Xinfei Farm and prepare for the transfer. Used by various chambers of commerce, factory workshops and research institutions.

At first, Earl Weilun was very forthright, and promised to provide Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with another piece of land of the same size as before, which is about 100,000 hectares.

Moreover, Earl Wei Lun even generously agreed that Xu Yi could choose any land under his name to rent, so that according to Xu Yi's plan, the two pieces of land could be connected, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would own a very large piece of land in the Principality of Standing. No matter how you want to develop your base, there is no problem.

However, with the changes in the internal situation of the Lampari Kingdom, the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gradually become a bit unfavorable on the surface, so Earl Weilun's straightforward and generous attitude has also become subtle.

Regarding Xu [无] [伤] 3.s. Yi's request for land lease, Earl Weilun delayed again and again, and he was no longer as straightforward as before.

And after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was announced by the Lampari Kingdom Magic Industry Management Agency to ban the production of any magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom, the attitude of Earl Wei Lun suddenly changed dramatically, and his attitude towards Xu Yi became extremely tough. It's not that he didn't want to lease the land to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all, but he took the opportunity to ask for a lot of money.

It is also 100,000 hectares of land. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce leased that piece of land, the annual rent was only 300,000 gold coins. The sub raised to an astonishing one million gold coins!

It has increased by more than three times!

Of course Xu Yi was unwilling to agree to Earl Weilun's request. As a result, the negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock.

During these few months. On behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi negotiated with Earl Weilun several times. But never a satisfactory result.

Today, for some unknown reason, after knowing that Xu Yi had come to attend Yaqi and Leia's wedding, Earl Wei Lun actually came to attend the wedding, and took the initiative to find Xu Yi and brought up the matter again.

However, like the previous negotiations, Earl Wei Lun still clings to the sky-high rent of one million gold coins and will not let go.

This made Xu Yi a little annoyed.

Since you don't intend to make concessions, why do you take the initiative to negotiate with yourself?

Seriously speaking, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs to open up a new base. There is an urgent need for land, and Xu Yi thinks that the most suitable place is the Principality of Standing. However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already started to develop the Black Rice Wasteland. Relocate the factories and workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that occupy a lot of land to the Black Rice Wasteland, and it does not necessarily have to be expanded here. During this period, Earl Wei Lun's attitude has always been very tough, Xu Yi has already made follow-up preparations, and it is not as urgent as before.

Under such circumstances, Earl Wei Lun still had such an attitude, Xu Yi was naturally very upset.

"Earl Wei Lun. I've said it countless times. Our chamber of commerce cannot accept this price." Thinking that he is still in the other party's territory after all. Xu Yi barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, our chamber of commerce has invested a lot this year. It is not a wise choice to suddenly take out one million gold coins to rent land that is not available for the time being."

Earl Wei Lun squinted at Xu Yi, and said with a smirk: "Of course I know that your Chamber of Commerce has invested a lot this year. After all, you have to rebuild factory bases everywhere. I understand. But President Xu, the reason why I I took the initiative to find you because I thought of another solution."...

"Oh? What way?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"President Xu, you said that it is difficult for your chamber of commerce to come up with one million gold coins in cash because of too much other investment. I understand that. But the transaction between us does not have to be completed in cash. " Earl Wei Lun narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"No need for cash?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, and glanced at Earl Wei Lun, seeing his chubby face that showed obvious greed all the time, he understood in his heart. "what do you want?"

"Hey, President Xu is indeed a smart man." Earl Wei Lun smiled until his fat face shook, and continued: "Actually, I am more interested in other things than cash, such as those unique items of your chamber of commerce. Technology……"

Xu Yi was really surprised now.

He never thought that what Earl Wei Lun was eyeing was actually a technology mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When Xu Yi made any deals with him before, his mind was always filled with gold coins, and he never asked for anything else.

Why is he suddenly concerned about technology now?

Could it be that he was stimulated by something?

"This... Let me ask first, Earl Weilun, what kind of technology do you mean by technology?" Xu Yi asked.

"Of course it's the production technology of those magical machines." Earl Weilun said as a matter of course. "There are so many chambers of commerce in your Kingdom of Lampari who rely on the technology transferred by your Xinfei chamber of commerce, and now they have made a fortune, so I am also very interested in them now."

"That is to say... you also want to invest in the establishment of the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked again.

"Almost." Earl Waylon nodded. "

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

It's not so strange that Earl Wei Lun would come up with this idea. After all, if the management is good, it is obviously more attractive to master the technology to produce magic machines than to simply collect rent.

However, Xu Yi couldn't connect Earl Willon with the Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce anyway, and he couldn't even connect the entire Duchy of Standing with the production of magic machinery.

The reason is simple, people here are too lazy.

Xinfei Farm employs a lot of local people, but compared with the Lampari people who moved from Bangta City, these local people are surprisingly lazy, and their work efficiency is almost not even one-fifth of the Lampari people. arrive.

If it weren't for the scruples about the relationship with Earl Weilun and conveying a friendly attitude to the locals. Xu Yi might have kicked out these local workers a long time ago.

Now Earl Wei Lun actually wants to start a chamber of commerce for the production of magic machines. Even if Xu Yi gave him technology. Given the equipment, he would certainly only be able to hire local workers.

And relying on the astonishingly low work efficiency of local workers, what future can such a factory have?

Of course, Xu Yi would never say these words out of his mouth. He just smiled and asked again: "Well, Earl Weilun, what kind of technology are you specifically interested in?"

"Well... First of all, it's a canned fruit factory. I want to start one myself. Don't worry, President Xu, I'm not competing with your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for business. The canned fruits produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are far from containing We have all kinds of fruits in the Principality of Standing, and there is no conflict between us." Earl Weilun said.

"Hmm... what else?" Xu Yi was noncommittal.

"In addition, I am also very interested in the production technology of several household magic machines. Among them, I am most interested in the production technology of magic refrigerators, magic freezers and magic air conditioners. It’s hot part of the time and these things are very popular with us.”

Xu Yi felt a little funny.

From the perspective of climate, the Principality of Standing is indeed very suitable for these household magic machines.

But from the perspective of consumption level, the Duchy of Standing is far from qualified.

The Principality of Standing is a country where the gap between the rich and the poor is far greater than that of the Lampari Kingdom, except for the lords like Earl Weilun. Most of them are poor civilians who hardly even have a few clothes, and there are even slaves whose number far exceeds that of the Lampari Kingdom.

such a market environment. How could it be possible to sell many household magic machines?

You know, even the cheapest magic freezer currently costs at least 20 gold coins.

Although Xu Yi didn't know the specific data, he was sure that at least 98% of the people in the Principality of Standing couldn't afford the cheapest magic freezer.

Of course, Xu Yi still wouldn't tell Earl Weilun these words, but nodded with a smile: "That's a good idea. Then Earl Weilun, it's not impossible for us to transfer technology, but the technology transfer fee is not cheap..."

Earl Weilun stretched out a fat finger to Xu Yi.

"How about exchanging the annual rent of 10,000 hectares of land for a technology?"

Xu Yi was startled, and then he almost laughed out loud.

Earl Wei Lun’s asking price to Xu Yi was one million gold coins a year for the rent of 100,000 hectares of land. If calculated according to the current conversion ratio of Earl Wei Lun, it is equivalent to that he hopes to buy an item with an average of 100,000 gold coins. technology.

The various technology transfer fees that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has transferred out are all above 100,000 gold coins, and some even exceed 200,000 gold coins.

Earl Wei Lun obviously has some understanding of this aspect, so he feels that his current offer is very suitable.

If Xu Yi agrees, he will make a lot of money based on the technology transfer fee.

But for Xu Yi, he even transferred a lot of technologies related to household magic machines to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration for almost free, and even transferred them to many chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari before. So in fact, these related technologies are not too big secrets at all at present, and Xu Yi doesn't pay much attention to them.

Relying on the mechanical theoretical knowledge behind Xu Yi brought from the earth, and relying on the powerful research resources of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will inevitably emerge in the future with new types of magic machines that far exceed the existing technology.

In Xu Yi's view, these technologies are not worth mentioning at all.

If they are used to exchange the land that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce urgently needs, it is clear that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money.

Xu Yi frowned on purpose, pretended to think for a while, and then put on a look of extreme embarrassment, chatted with Earl Wei Lun for a while, and then pretended to agree to the condition very helplessly.

After the transaction was completed, Earl Wei Lun was in a great mood. After several months, he grabbed Xu Yi's hand with his fat hand and shook it vigorously. He laughed and said, "Very good, President Xu, we need to cooperate in the future." There are even more places, and I hope we can always maintain a happy cooperation.”

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Definitely."

Earl Wei Lun rolled his eyes, and suddenly moved a little closer to Xu Yi, and asked in a low voice: "President Xu, the technology of those military magic machines in your chamber of commerce..."

"Impossible." Xu Yi directly interrupted him, and said categorically, "The technology in this area is too involved, and it is impossible for our chamber of commerce to transfer it to anyone."

"Yeah...it should be, it should be..." Earl Wei Lun nodded again and again, and then asked again: "Then...President Xu...not to mention technology, I will buy some military magic machines from your chamber of commerce... No problem, right? A lot of words"

Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at Earl Wei Lun, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Earl Weilun is forcing himself on the road of no return to the arms dealer...
