Chapter 143 Worth Five Million Gold Coins?

Princess Caroline's beautiful face is like a flower. At this time, there is a pleading expression on her face, which makes people feel pitiful. However, Xu Yi glanced at Princess Caroline, but his expression did not move at all, but his voice turned cold .

"His Royal Highness, with all due respect, this matter is entirely due to your Duchy of Drake's disobedience to my advice, and you have to blame yourself, but now you come to me for help, don't you think it's a little ridiculous?"

Princess Caroline's expression darkened, and she paused for a moment, but she suppressed the sadness on her face, put on a coquettish smile again, took Xu Yi's arm unceremoniously, and shook it gently.

"Although this is indeed our own fault, but I know, President Xu, you will never sit idly by, will you? Otherwise, you would definitely not come to see me in person."

Xu Yi looked at her coldly, without answering, and his expression did not change in any way.

This time Princess Caroline and the convoy sent by the Duchy of Drake came to Bonta City together, of course not to cheer for the Duchy of Drake's convoy, but to talk to Xu Yi about other important matters, or to put it more clearly, He just came to ask Xu Yi for help.

When King Eric was on the throne, Earl Summer was worried that King Eric and Duke Stark would target Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's property left in Sewell City, so after contacting Xu Yi for discussion, they decided to sell this part of the property. Gradually transferred to the Duchy of Drake.

Because of the support of the Principality of Drake, these industries have remained quite complete, and they have taken root in the Principality of Drake. Not only have they developed well, but the Duke of Drake has obtained a large amount of technical information from it, and has begun to invest in magic. Research and development in the machinery industry.

Of course, these were also tacitly approved by Xu Yi. Otherwise, the magic industry developed by the Principality of Drake would never have developed so well and so fast as it is now.

But maybe it was because the development was too smooth. too fast. At the same time, due to the change of royal power within the Lampari Kingdom, it fell into a period of turmoil, which caused the Principality of Drake and Xu Yi to lose contact for a while.

Without the specific technical support and guidance given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Principality of Drake began to strengthen the technical research on magic machinery on its own, but it has made some progress, and even developed several types of magic machines that are different from Xinfei. Household magic machinery, and sold these household magic machinery to the two countries adjacent to the Principality of Drake, earning a lot of benefits from it.

After Xu Yi regained contact with the Principality of Drake. Knowing this matter, even if they asked the Principality of Drake to send over the technical information related to the magic machinery they developed by themselves, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could study it to see if there were any mistakes and defects, but the Principality of Drake refused.

At that time, Xu also warned the Principality of Drake because of this, claiming that the research and development of magic machinery is a systematic project, and if it is developed without a solid foundation, it will easily cause problems.

However, the Duke of Drake turned a deaf ear to Xu Yi's warning, and even took the initiative to downplay the connection with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi naturally did not have the strength to interfere with the decision of the Duchy of Drake, which was nearly 2,000 kilometers away from the Duchy of Standing, and the Duchy of Drake was unwilling to cooperate. Naturally, he didn't want to force it, seeing that the Principality of Drake showed a treacherous face. Just let it go.

At first, this was not a problem, but just last month, an extremely serious problem broke out in the Principality of Drake.

The self-developed magic fan and magic refrigerator sold by the Principality of Drake to two neighboring countries suddenly had several accidents in succession, and then a large-scale failure broke out, which also caused many accidents, which caused the two countries The deep dissatisfaction of the people in the country and the extreme distrust of the Principality of Drake.

Because of this matter, those two countries lodged a solemn protest to the Principality of Drake, and expressed their extreme anger at the Principality of Drake for selling such inferior products to them, and demanded that the Principality of Drake continue to compensate immediately and propose to solve the problem scheme.

Compensation is fine, but in terms of solutions, the Principality of Drake has encountered difficulties.

Because the Duke of Drake has carefully studied, and with the help of the technicians of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who stayed in the Duke of Drake, they discovered that the reason why their self-developed magic fans and magic refrigerators failed in large areas and even caused accidents was completely Because of a design flaw.

And if this design defect wants to be changed, it means that all production lines and processes will be changed accordingly.

The Principality of Draco neither has this ability, nor can it really change all the production lines and technological processes because of this, because it is estimated that at least three million gold coins must be invested in order to do this.

Coupled with the compensation to those two countries, the Dukedom of Drake's lowest point because of this incident may exceed five million gold coins.

For the Principality of Drake, whose annual financial income is only more than one million gold coins, this is undoubtedly a serious loss that cannot be borne at all.

However, the corresponding compensation for those two countries must be paid, and the changes to the production line and process flow must continue. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to the complete failure of the R&D investment of the Principality of Drake in this area, and the initial investment would be lost.

But relying on the Principality of Draco itself, it simply does not have enough strength to do this.

In desperation, they could only turn to Xu Yi for help.

However, Xu Yi was very dissatisfied with the Duke of Drake's breach of trust. Now that the Duke of Drake was in trouble, he turned around and begged. Easy to agree.

Seeing Xu Yi's cold face, Princess Caroline rolled her eyes, lowered her head slightly, made a pitiful look, and said softly: "I know you must be very angry, but we also have difficulties. The Principality of Lak is a small country, if you don't have something in your hands, you will only be bullied by others."

Xu Yi snorted: "So you can completely abandon our previous agreement and develop your own research and development without knowing me at all? Don't forget, I also made a special trip to warn you because of this, but you didn't listen. There's a problem. Why don't you solve it yourself?"

"I know it's wrong." Princess Caroline put on a coquettish look. He grabbed Xu Yi's arm and shook it, showing an extremely coquettish smile, and said softly: "If you are angry, we will compensate you. For example... as long as you want, I can use myself to compensate... ..."

Xu Yi's right arm trembled slightly, he got rid of Princess Caroline's hands, took a step back, and shook his head lightly. Seriously said: "His Royal Highness, I think you should be clear that in this matter, your ** does not have any meaning. And I am not interested this time, so it is better not to waste time."

Princess Caroline couldn't help but glared at Xu Yi, thinking that she was born with stunning beauty. Not only was she definitely the most beautiful woman in the Duchy of Drake, but even if she met so many people outside, only Xu Yi's current wife Steele In terms of appearance, he can be compared with himself, and everyone else is somewhat inferior. Why is it that no matter how he uses means, Xu Yi is always free from any temptation?

If he is particularly interested. Not a beautiful woman, how could she marry a wife like Steele?

Even his female slaves are all very beautiful. Obviously, like ordinary men, he doesn't have much resistance to beautiful women.

Xu Yi didn't know that Princess Caroline's thoughts at the moment had drifted to something completely irrelevant. Seeing that she was a little dazed, he sighed and continued: "But what you said just now is right, if you are not willing to solve it for you If there is a problem, I will not come to see you."

Hearing this sentence, Princess Caroline's expression changed for a while, and her big round eyes were full of joy.

"Really? Really? President Xu, are you willing to help us?"

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded slowly. "No matter what you think of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and me, the Principality of Drake is still an important partner in my mind. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us in the future, then the previous things will not matter to me. Act like it never happened."

Seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, Princess Caroline was overjoyed.

The huge amount of five million gold coins has been pressing like a mountain in the hearts of everyone in the Duke of Drake's senior management, and it has also been pressing down on Princess Caroline's face recently.

Everyone knows that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to help, it will be able to solve this problem easily, but because of what the Duke of Drake has done before, no one in the Duke of Drake has any confidence, and thinks that Xu Yi will agree to help.

Princess Caroline took advantage of the opportunity of the Bangta City Ring Road Cycling Race to ask Xu Yi to meet, and got Xu Yi's consent. This was a glimmer of hope in her heart.

However, only now that Xu Yi personally agreed to help, Princess Caroline let go of the mountain that was weighing on her heart, and the smile on her face became really bright and brilliant for the first time.

Seeing the smile on Princess Caroline's face, Xu Yi shook his head slightly, sighing slightly.

From the perspective of personal feelings, he is extremely dissatisfied with the Dukedom of Drake's abandonment of the agreement, and he is very unwilling to lend a helping hand to the Dukedom of Drake.

But from an overall point of view, the Principality of Drake has been deeply influenced by the magic industry. In Xu Yi's plan, it is an important piece of territory for creating a complete magic industry system, and it must not be easily lost.

Even if the Principality of Drake didn't appear in such a thing, he would find a way to regain his influence on this territory and make it develop smoothly according to his own plan.

Now that the Principality of Drake has encountered such a serious event that can even harm the country's strength, it is an excellent opportunity for him to expect him to help.

The gesture she made in front of Princess Caroline at the beginning was just a show.

And his acting skills are really not that good. If it were Kennard, he would be much more realistic than him at this time.

But if it were Kennard, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a direct conversation with Princess Caroline.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yi nodded to Princess Caroline, and continued: "It's okay to help you, but Your Highness, I'm not helping selflessly. Correspondingly, I must make some requests."

This was naturally not what Princess Caroline expected. She nodded and said with a charming smile: "Of course it's no problem. As long as President Xu is willing to help, we can negotiate no matter what conditions you put forward. And among these conditions , including me..."

Staring at Princess Caroline's charming eyes and smile, Xu Yi still had clear eyes and said seriously: "Your Highness, this matter involves five million gold coins. And I believe that there is no one in this world who A woman's body can be worth as much as five million gold coins."

Princess Caroline's face suddenly changed.

Xu Yi's words clearly regarded her as a woman who betrayed her own body.

However, after thinking about it, what is the difference between what she said just now and betraying her own body?

After thinking this through, Princess Caroline's expression suddenly changed, and she only felt humiliation, anger, helplessness, and deep sadness in her heart.

Xu Yi looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly grabbed her hand again, his voice much softer.

"At the same time, I also believe that in this world, there is no woman whose soul can be bought with only five million gold coins."

Princess Caroline was slightly stunned, and looked up at Xu Yi's extremely clear eyes and extremely sincere face, only to feel a strange emotion welling up in her heart, and she was infatuated for a while. (To be continued..)
