Chapter 16

What does the Wizards Guild headquarters want?

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The last time the great magician Ferguson came on behalf of the magicians union, he behaved quite normally, but he just represented the headquarters of the magicians union and hoped that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would help solve the livelihood problems of low-level magicians. Generally speaking, he was relatively polite.

However, this time he came again on behalf of the Magician's Guild, but suddenly put on a posture of embarrassing Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, of course he had other plans.

After visiting the Institute of Magical Industry under construction, Xu Yi deliberately stimulated the appetite of Grand Magician Ferguson for a few days, and then hinted to Grand Magician Ferguson that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay some price for the approval of the Magicians Union headquarters.

So the great magician Ferguson changed his face in an instant, and directly threw a cooperation plan to Xu Yi after the research and decision of the headquarters council of the magicians union.

This cooperation plan seems to be a step further than Xu Yi's previous proposal. Specifically, first of all, the headquarters of the Magician's Union recognized Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as its cooperative chamber of commerce, and then the main cooperation project between the two parties was in the placement of low-level magicians.

This point is similar to the cooperation discussed by the two parties before, the difference lies in the follow-up of this plan.

In this plan, the Magicians Union proposed that since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce relies on magic machinery manufacturing related industries to solve the livelihood problems for low-level magicians, from the perspective of considering these low-level magicians, the headquarters of the Magicians Union must deal with The magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce requires a certain amount of research and understanding.

The superficial meaning seems to be very high-sounding, but in fact it requires the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to share the existing technology related to magic machinery with the headquarters of the Magician Union for research and certification. Make sure there is nothing in it that would harm a low level magician.

"And you agreed?" Seweini stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes.

At this time, the great magician Ferguson had left the Principality of Standing. A week after returning to the headquarters of the Magician's Union. Xu Yi came to Anweimar City to discuss matters with Seweney, and mentioned this incident by the way.

"How is that possible?" Xu Yi shook his head and sneered. "The headquarters of the Magician's Guild actually wants all our current magic machinery-related technology. I will only agree to them unless I am crazy."

"You didn't agree? Then why did I hear that if there is no accident at the headquarters of the Magician's Union, it will officially announce that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will become their cooperative chamber of commerce next month?" Seweini asked in bewilderment.

"This is just a negotiation. The headquarters of the Magician's Union offered a price, and I'm just haggling." Xu Yi spread his hands and said with a smile. "They want all the technology related to magic machinery. Of course, this is a wild asking price, and they know it themselves, so I just paid back the price casually, and they agreed."

"Oh? Then how exactly did you counter-offer?" Sevini looked very interested.

"It's nothing. I promised to share all the technology related to the magic machinery currently owned by our Chamber of Commerce to the headquarters of the Magician's Union, but... there is no time limit."

Sevini was startled, and then chuckled.

"Okay, Xu Yi, you are really cunning. But I don't believe that the people at the headquarters of the Magician's Union can't see that you are delaying on purpose."

"They do know this, but I promised them that I would guarantee to transfer at least one technology currently owned by our chamber of commerce to the headquarters of the magicians union every year, and I also made a list of the technologies currently owned by our chamber of commerce. Let them feel free to pick, so they accepted it unceremoniously."

"One item per year?" Sevini rolled his eyes wide. Ninja couldn't help but said: "Hey, Xu Yi, if I'm not mistaken, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has at least more than two hundred technical projects in total, right? Could it be that the headquarters of the Magician's Union plans to spend more than two hundred years Did you just take all these technologies from you?"

"No, there are already more than 400 items, so to be precise, it will take more than 400 years." Xu Yi smiled.

"That's strange. Since this is the case, why did the headquarters of the Magician's Union agree to your proposal?" Seweini asked curiously.

"First, they don't know what the magic industry is. Second, they don't know how fast the magic industry is developing. More than four hundred years? By then, the technologies currently possessed by our chamber of commerce should have been recognized If they are eliminated and stored in the history museum, they are useless at all. I don’t know what else they can do if they get them.”

Sevini exhaled lightly, shook his head and said, "Actually, I can't blame them. If I hadn't known you a long time ago, I wouldn't have known that the magic industry would develop so fast. You see, from your It has only been eight years since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared, but our Lampari Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes. At the beginning, you said that the emergence of the magic industry may change the entire Sainz continent. I didn’t quite believe it. Now But he is convinced of it.”

"In my opinion, it's actually far from enough." Xu Yi said seriously. "In fact, we still haven't formed a complete magic industry system, and many important links are missing. For example, we haven't solved the most important part of talent training, and we haven't transformed and utilized resources to the best extent yet."

"You've also said that this can't be done in a hurry, right?" Sevini laughed. "Speaking of which, what is the first technology that the Magician's Guild Headquarters asked you to share about? Is it a magic airship? I think this thing should represent the highest technical level of your chamber of commerce, and they should value it the most."

"No, you guessed wrong. Their priority is the technology related to the magic air conditioner."

"Magic air conditioner?" Sevini was stunned. "The technical content is not particularly high, why are they most interested in this?"

"Haven't you found out? They are not actually interested in the so-called magic machinery-related technologies, let alone to help low-level magicians master magic machinery-related technologies more easily. There is only one reason why they choose magic air conditioners, and that is gold coins." .”

Sevini was slightly taken aback, then pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Okay, I understand. It seems that even these great magicians cannot escape the shackles of interests after all."

"It's not surprising." Xu Yi shrugged. "If they are really perfect and noble, pure union leaders who only think about low-level magicians, then I will have a headache. But since they need benefits, it is much simpler. I will give them benefits, and then Wouldn't it be nice to get what I need from them, and everyone gets what they need?"

Sevini gave Xu Yi a blank look: "You are the biggest profiteer, I never doubt it. Tell me, what benefits did you get from the headquarters of the Magician's Union this time? It's impossible to just become the designated cooperative chamber of commerce of the Magician's Union headquarters benefit from it?"

"Hey, you can't look down on this name. With this name, it will be much easier for our chamber of commerce to recruit magicians in the future. Think about it, we are the cooperative chamber of commerce designated by the union headquarters, what an honor it is One thing. Compared with those proud magicians, they will not resist working in our chamber of commerce as before."

"It's as if those magicians are very resistant to working in your chamber of commerce..." Sevini couldn't help but muttered. "Almost more than half of the magicians in our Lampari Kingdom are eager to get a job at your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Are you still dissatisfied?"

"That's just the Kingdom of Lampari and the surrounding countries. My goal is all the magicians on the entire Sainz continent. You see, it has been three months since we went to the Maro Empire to build a factory this time. , so far I haven't even recruited a local magician. I'm having a headache about this. If the headquarters of the Magician's Union announces that we have become a designated cooperative chamber of commerce, I can hang up this big sign, maybe That will solve the problem.”

"I hope so." Sevini paused, glanced at Xu Yi, and continued: "Speaking of Maruo Empire...Xu Yi, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, took out a document from his bag, and handed it over with both hands.

"Come on, Your Majesty the Great Queen, this is our Chamber of Commerce's cooperation plan on joint investment with the Lampari Kingdom in the Maro Empire. Please have a look."

"That's about the same."

Sevini chuckled, took the plan, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Sevini pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "There is a problem. In your plan, you hope that the Lampari Kingdom will organize a chamber of commerce in the official name to go to the Maro Empire to invest in various things, but our Lampari Kingdom and The Maro Empire did not have a particularly close relationship before, are you sure the Maro Empire is willing to accept it?"

"This is the result of my consultation with the Marquis Southgate. Although the Marquis Southgate cannot fully represent the official Marlow Empire, he can represent a group of Marlow Empire nobles headed by him. Southgate The Marquis welcomes this plan very much, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Yi pondered for a while, smiled, and continued: "Actually, let me tell you something that you may not like to hear. Compared with the Maro Empire, the Lampari Kingdom is too weak, so the Maro Empire officials will not even put Lan Pali The Kingdom of Parry is in their eyes, so naturally they don't care whether you invest or not. Anyway, in their view, it doesn't affect anything at all."

Sevini was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "In other words, this is completely equivalent to the private cooperation between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Marquis of Southgate? How can we ensure that the Marlow Empire will not intervene in it in the future?" Woolen cloth?"

"It depends on the future development situation. For example, Sevini, if you were asked to drive our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out of the Lampari Kingdom now, would you do it?" Xu Yi stared at Sevini's asked with serious eyes.

Seweini glanced at Xu Yi, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Of course not. It has nothing to do with willingness or not, but... not dare." (To be continued...)
