Chapter 23 Let's Make a Bet

"As for the manufacturing technology of magic machine tool equipment... I do intend to transfer it."

Hearing Xu Yi's words, the eyes of Earl Irwin and Earl Mardoff, who was eavesdropping on the conversation not far away, lit up at the same time.

"Then...President Xu, why don't we take this opportunity to have a good talk?" Earl Irwin immediately extended an invitation to Xu Yi.

"Okay." Xu Yi smiled and agreed.

The conversation between the two did not deliberately lower their voices. Not only the Earl of Marduff who was not far away heard it, but even President Cruise heard it.

Chairman Cruise glanced at Xu Yi with some puzzlement, not understanding how he would agree so simply.

You must know that regarding the manufacturing technology of magic machine tool equipment, even when the Kingdom of Lampari originally hoped for the transfer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it took a lot of effort to obtain the approval and transfer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Later, it took several years of effort before the Lampari Kingdom basically mastered the manufacturing technology, and in the past two years, it has been able to successfully manufacture some relatively low-end machine tool equipment.

But now the Candela Empire just opened their mouths, Xu Yi actually agreed all of a sudden.

In comparison, he is too partial, isn't he?

Thinking of the rumors he had specifically mentioned to Xu Yi before, Chairman Cruise couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

This Xu Yi treated the Candela Empire so generously, but had such strict requirements on the Lampari Kingdom, which has an extremely close relationship with him, it is really unreasonable.

However, this idea only wandered around in Chairman Cruise's mind for a while. Then he was thrown out.

He has known Xu Yi for more than ten years, and he can be said to know Xu Yi very well.

He is very clear that Xu Yi is by no means such a character who loves the new and dislikes the old, who tends to follow others. There may be other reasons for his decision.

Thinking of this, Chairman Cruise pressed down the doubts in his heart, and smiled at Earl Mardoff: "My lord, regarding the two ring roads around Wimbledon, our chamber of commerce is now formulating a plan based on the preliminary survey results. made a plan. You see...

###

After two days of negotiations, Xu Yi, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Kandela Empire Magic Industry Management Department, represented by Earl Erwin, reached a new technology transfer agreement.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer a series of related technical materials to the Candela Empire about various types of magic machine tools required to manufacture road engineering materials, and will send technical personnel to assist the Candela Empire in mastering these technologies.

This agreement involves as many as 127 technical items. The total amount of the agreement is 7.6 million gold coins.

At the same time, the Candela Empire also provided some preferential policies to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again because of this technology transfer. For example, the Magic Industry Management Department of the Candela Empire represented by Earl Erwin listed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an important partner chamber of the Magic Industry Management Department. One of them is to give Xinfei Chamber of Commerce special treatment in all aspects.

For example, after all kinds of magic machinery products from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entered the Candela Empire. It must be reviewed by the Ministry of Magic Industry Management before it is allowed to be officially sold.

And now it is listed as an important cooperative chamber of commerce by the Ministry of Magic Industry Management. All products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be exempted from inspection when entering the Candela Empire, and will also become officially recognized and specially recommended products by the Magic Industry Management Department.

The former item can save the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from going through a lot of procedures when entering the Candela Empire, thus saving a lot of time and manpower.

Although the latter item is not particularly meaningful given the current reputation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Industry Management Department promises that if any official occasion in the Kandela Empire needs to use magic machinery, it will specify the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. this item. It can bring immeasurable huge profits to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In terms of pure economic benefits, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will transfer this series of magic machine tool manufacturing technology to the Candela Empire this time. Undoubtedly a lucrative business.

But in the eyes of President Cruise, who watched the whole process and personally participated in the signing ceremony of the agreement, he was still very puzzled.

"Xu Yi, why did you hand over these precious technologies so easily? If you want me to say it, you can completely ignore these guys from the Candela Empire. Since they want to develop, they must need these magical machine tools .Let them buy from your chamber of commerce, wouldn't you make more money?"

"If I'm just here to make money, then your proposal is of course the best choice." Xu Yi shook his head lightly. "But obviously, that's not all I'm for."

"Well, I know that you have always had big goals and don't care about making money. But have you ever thought that the Candela Empire is not a small country after all. If you give them these technical materials, as long as they are willing to put their heart into it, I'm afraid it will soon You don’t need your chamber of commerce to handle those magical machine tools by yourself. By then, your Xinfei chamber of commerce’s position in their minds will not be as important as it is now, don’t you think it’s dangerous?”

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Chairman Cruise, with a hint of mockery on the smile on his face.

"Do you really think... that if I transfer the technical materials to them, they will be able to manufacture qualified magic machine tools?"

"I know what you mean. Of course they can't fully grasp it in a short time, but the Candela Empire is a huge empire after all. Give them some time, and they will definitely be able to fully grasp it." Chairman Cruise waved his hand. .

"Cruse, you can be regarded as an old man who has been in this industry for many years, do you still not understand the importance of a complete industrial system?" Xu Yi shook his head. "Don't worry, even if the Candela Empire now masters the magic machine tool manufacturing technology to the same level as our chamber of commerce, they will not be able to manufacture even a magic machine tool with their own strength."

"How is it possible?" President Cruise looked disbelieving.

"Don't believe it?" Xu Yi smiled slightly. "Then let's make a bet? If the Candela Empire can manufacture a magic machine tool completely on its own within three years, I will transfer these same technologies to your Amrit Chamber of Commerce for free. If they can't. Then you The Amrit Chamber of Commerce must complete a project for our chamber of commerce.”

Chairman Cruise frowned: "Xu Yi, this bet seems wrong, doesn't it? Even if there is no bet, you asked us to help you complete a project. Will I still shirk it?" After finishing speaking, he laughed. "Of course, if you say you won't give me a copper coin, then I really have to think about it."

"Of course it's impossible not to give money. It's better to follow the normal project arrangement. But...you may not be willing to do this project. How about it? Are you willing to accept this bet?"

"I might not be willing to do it?" Chairman Cruise muttered with a frown, thinking that the project that Xu Yi entrusted to him could be completed by the Amley Chamber of Commerce, so it would not be too outrageous.

Then why would Xu Yi make this bet with himself? Is it just to convince myself that it is impossible for the Candela Empire to independently manufacture a magic machine tool within three years?

"How? Bet or not?" Seeing that Chairman Cruise was still hesitating. Xu Yi urged.

President Cruise thought for a while before nodding.

"Okay, let's bet! Three years. Of course. Maybe if the Candela Empire goes well, you will lose next year." President Cruise deliberately showed a look of dying, and said with a smile : "The manufacturing technical data of the magic machine tool, although our Amrit Chamber of Commerce will not mainly invest in it. But it is not bad to use it to make some money."

"First of all, you have to be able to get it."

Xu Yi smiled. He looked up, pointed to the magic car he drove over, and said to Chairman Cruise: "Since you will stay in Wimbledon for a while, then this magic car will be used by you first, and after use Just send it to the branch of our chamber of commerce set up here for me."

President Cruise was taken aback: "What are you doing now?"

Xu Yi waved to the left and right, and the subordinates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who were scattered nearby surrounded him.

"Since the technology of the magic machine tool has been transferred to the Candela Empire, do you think the Maro Empire will let me go?"

"That is to say, you are going to continue to the Maro Empire now?"

"right."

"You gave me the magic car. How do you get there?"

Xu Yi smiled without answering, and continued to look up at the sky.

After a while. A black shadow quickly floated in the western sky.

President Cruise suddenly realized: "Hey, it turns out that you are going to fly there with a magic airship. It is indeed much faster than a magic car, and it is also much more comfortable. By the way, Xu Yi, speaking of it... How about a magic airship for me? I spend more time running around outside than you, if I have a magic airship, I can save a lot of effort."

"The daily consumption and maintenance cost of a magic airship is more than a hundred times that of a magic car. Are you sure you need it?" Xu Yi looked at him with some amusement. "And it's just the selling price... the price of this magic airship is half a million gold coins. Are you really willing to buy it?"

"500,000 gold coins?" President Cruise's lips twitched, as if he felt distressed. However, after thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth: "Okay! Five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand! As long as you are willing to sell it, I will buy it!"

Xu Yi looked up at the magical airship that was slowly falling on the open space in front of him, and said quietly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Lampari Kingdom Council has passed the kingdom's air management ban last month, strictly prohibiting all Unauthorized flying objects fly randomly over the kingdom, and the magic airship is one of them."

President Cruise froze for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently.

"It's normal. After all, this thing is flying around in the sky. It's too threatening, and there should be a ban. Anyway, with the current status of our Amley Chamber of Commerce, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a special pass."

"What I'm telling you is... Now that the Kingdom of Lampari has passed this management ban, there is a great possibility that other countries on the mainland will follow suit. That is to say, if you want to fly around in a magic airship in the future Go, I'm afraid it won't be so free. Under such circumstances, do you still want to buy?"

Hearing what Xu Yi said, the determination that Chairman Cruise had just made was immediately shaken.

He bought the magic airship to hope that it would be more convenient when traveling back and forth between various countries on the mainland. If the same ban appeared in every country, then this convenience would be gone, and the meaning of the purchase would be much smaller.

Seeing Chairman Cruise hesitate again, Xu Yi laughed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Come find me when you've made up your mind."

After that, he took a group of his men to board the magic airship that had already opened the hatch, and after a while the hatch closed, and then flew into the sky and disappeared.

President Cruise stared blankly at the direction where the magic airship disappeared for a while, then glanced back at the magic car left by Xu Yi, and shook his head helplessly. (To be continued..)
