Chapter 108 I Have Something Very Valuable

"Your Majesty, this picture shows the scene when a small magic harvester is harvesting wheat." Xu Yi spread a picture on the table and enthusiastically showed the current King of Lampari Kingdom Cairns Lampa to the side. Li introduced: "Look, the wheat in this farmland is very lush, and if it is harvested by people, it usually takes a whole day to harvest, and then it takes three days or even a week to harvest it. It can only be dried in the sun, and it will take another one to two days for the cattle to pull the stone mill to husk, and finally it takes about a day or more to raise dust and thresh, and then the harvest can be regarded as complete. And once the weather is abnormal, it will be affected by huge impact.”

"This whole process will take ten days to half a month, and the effect is not good, so it will waste a lot of wheat kernels and incompletely hulled wheat ears. But if we use the small magic of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce With a harvester, this wheat field can be completed in less than an hour. You see, after the wheat is rolled in by the front end of the small magic harvester, it only takes a blink of an eye to turn into wheat The grains are sprayed from the back, and the person in charge of the harvest only needs to prepare the cloth bag. What a time and labor saving!”

His Majesty King Cairns Lampari is forty-eight years old this year. He is in his prime, with a square face and a majestic appearance. There is no excess fat on his body.

Listening to Xu Yi's eloquent introduction, he only interrupted occasionally and asked a few detailed questions. Most of the time, he just listened carefully and kept showing a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that Xu Yi's introduction to the small magic harvester came to an end, King Cairns thought for a while and suddenly asked, "President Xu, you have been talking about small, do you mean that this magic harvester has a larger model?"

Xu Yi was a little stunned. He didn't expect His Majesty the King to listen to him for a long time. Now the first concern is this issue.

"Your Majesty, you are right. We will launch a slightly larger neutral magic power harvester and even a larger large magic power harvester in the future. Of course, in my plan, in fact, for magic power harvesting Opportunity to decide on a variety of models. In order to meet different needs, it is not necessarily strictly limited to the three specifications of small, medium and large.”

King Cairns nodded lightly: "Yes, you can have this idea, which proves that you did not design this small magic harvester just on a whim and inspiration. I thought that the various novel magic machines of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce were not Stop the launch, this small magic harvester is just a temporary idea, and you are still worried that you are not thoughtful. I am afraid this time is just to sell these things to me. Now it seems that you are too underestimated. "

Xu Yi said in surprise: "Your Majesty, listen to your tone, in fact, you already have a long-term plan?"

"That's right." King Cairns smiled slightly: "I know Earl of Summer. I am convinced of the description in his letter, so I have no doubt that these farmland magic machines produced by your new flying chamber of commerce do have powerful capabilities. But I I can't confirm whether your new flying chamber of commerce has more comprehensive capabilities, such as the various types of magic harvesters you just mentioned. Although our Kingdom of Lampari has many plains, the terrain is still very complicated. It is just a kind of magic machinery. It can't be used on all terrains. And if your farmland magic machinery can only be used in terrains like the one near Bangta City. It loses the meaning of large-scale promotion."

Xu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Majesty, do you already agree?"

King Keynes laughed; "Why don't I agree to increase food production? In fact, when I decided to summon you, I already decided to promote these magical machines. The only question is how to promote it."

Having said that, King Keynes stopped his mouth and looked at Xu Yi with a half-smile.

Xu also understood immediately. Negotiations begin.

"This..." Xu Yi pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I still adhere to my basic principle, that is, the technology of these farmland magic machines cannot be handed over to the Agriculture Department. If you insist, maybe I can't. Refused, but the promotion of these farmland magic machines. Neither I nor the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will participate.”

After saying that, Xu Yi looked at His Majesty the King nervously.

He knew very well that in this half-slaves and half-feudal world, the authority of the king was unquestionable. If His Majesty insisted that Xu Yi hand over his technology, Xu Yi would not be able to disobey at all. Submit only.

But in this way, Xu Yi has directly lost the huge market of farmland magic machinery, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will suffer extremely serious losses.

And more importantly, it's a very bad start.

His Majesty the King can now force Xu Yi to hand over the related technologies of the farmland magic machinery, so if he takes a fancy to other technologies of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the future, what about forcing Xu Yi to hand over it?

In order to prevent future troubles, Xu Yi must clearly express his rejection in words, whether in front of Harvey or in front of His Majesty the King now.

King Keynes looked at Xu Yi for a while, then suddenly smiled: "President Xu, do you think I'm a greedy person? Or do you think I'm a stupid person?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly: "Of course not. You are the most brilliant and wise king of our Lampari Kingdom, how could I think you are greedy or stupid?"

"Since this is the case, why do you think I want you to hand over the technology of these farmland magic machines?" King Cairns asked again.

"This... Isn't Viscount Harvey conveying your message?" Xu Yi said Harvey's proposal that day.

King Cairns narrowed his eyes slightly, snorted softly, waved his hand and said, "That's just his proposal, and I didn't explain it like this. Now I'm here to assure you. No matter what new things your new flying chamber of commerce develops, Magic machinery, that belongs to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself. I have no interest in the technology of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I only care whether these farmland magic machinery can play a role in the fields of our Kingdom of Lampari, and can help improve our The kingdom's food production helps. Do you see what I mean?"

Xu Yi was instantly overjoyed, His Majesty's words made the stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fall to the ground.

With the assurance of His Majesty the King, it is equivalent to obtaining a talisman, and Xu Yi no longer has to worry about the technology he possesses being robbed by power.

"By the way, Your Majesty, take this opportunity. Let me make another comment." Xu Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot, and simply proposed the patent protection law that he had been thinking about.

After listening to Xu Yi's detailed explanation of the patent protection law, King Keynes thought for a while and nodded lightly: "This idea is very good. As you said. With this patent protection law, each chamber of commerce can independently Some technologies are patented, so they don’t have to worry about their unique technologies being misappropriated as much as before. In this way, those lazy chambers of commerce will find ways to research new technologies by themselves, right?”

"Your Majesty, you are so wise." Xu Yi couldn't help but praise.

The King of Keynes was able to see at a glance the most positive effect brought about by the patent protection law, and he deserves to be the most wise king in the history of Lampari Kingdom.

"In addition to this role, the chamber of commerce that applies for patent protection has to pay a portion of the patent protection fee, so that the kingdom's finances can also earn more revenue, and the chamber of commerce applying for it will be willing to pay." Xu also added.

King Keynes glanced at Xu Yi: "This thing was proposed by you, and you actually demanded to pay the patent protection fee?"

Xu Yi straightened up and said with a righteous and dignified look: "Your Majesty. If you want to gain something, of course you have to pay! This is the consciousness you should have as a businessman!"

King Cairns laughed, pointed at Xu Yi and said, "Are you reminding me that you have to pay the corresponding price for the benefits you get from your New Flying Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi smiled. He didn't answer, but he didn't deny it.

King Cairns laughed for a while before slowly stopping, nodded and said: "If you want to gain something, you have to pay, this sentence is not bad. But President Xu, I don't agree with your previous proposal, so I also Will not agree to those requests you made earlier."

"Why?" Xu Yi frowned. "Your Majesty. I think the proposal that I presented to Viscount Harvey and Miss Sevigny last time has been very perfect. It not only takes into account the interests of both our New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom, but also maximizes the promotion of these farmland magic. There may be problems with the machinery. This must be done more easily by the cooperation between us.”

"You're right, but I don't want such trouble." King Keynes found a document from the side and threw it to Xu Yi. "Here are some of my thoughts, you can take a look."

Xu Yi took over the document in confusion and began to read it.

The proposal in this document is indeed much simpler. On behalf of the Agriculture Department of the Kingdom of Lampari, the King of Cairns put forward a series of orders for farmland magic machinery to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only needs to complete these orders in accordance with the requirements of the Agriculture Department, and is responsible for all technical training and after-sales of these farmland magic machinery. Service repairs, etc.

In short, this proposal is actually a very ordinary commercial contract, except that the purchaser is the Kingdom Agriculture Department. No official flavor was added.

Or to put it more bluntly, His Majesty the King is just discussing a very ordinary business with Xu Yi.

Of course, the scale of this business is a bit large, because His Majesty's first order was for 10,000 small magic harvesters.

Xu Yi carefully read the document several times, but found a problem.

"Your Majesty, the current market price of a small magic harvester is 70 gold coins. If you order 10,000 units in one go, the total price is as high as 700,000 gold coins. Do you... have that much money?"

This is also unbelievable. Judging from the information disclosed by Harvey inadvertently, the tax revenue of the Lampari Kingdom last year was less than 1 million gold coins. How could it be possible to take out 700,000 gold coins in one go just to buy them? Small Magic Harvester.

King Keynes smiled, spread his hands, and said simply: "No."

Xu Yi couldn't help being bored, touched his nose, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, our chamber of commerce is a small business, and we don't owe anything on credit."

King Keynes was amused by Xu Yi, laughed a few times, looked at Xu Yi with a playful expression and said, "Although I have no money, I have some things that are very valuable. President Xu, what do you want?"

Xu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
