Chapter 159 Higher Pursuit

The goal of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

Some of the reporters in the audience were slightly confused, while others were shaken.

This topic can be big or small, it all depends on what Xu Yi says.

"About the goal of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is a matter that does not need to be discussed and explained at all. Because in the end, we are just a chamber of commerce. As a chamber of commerce, the goal is of course to make money. No Wrong, I admit that the original intention of establishing the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed to make money, even until now I have always emphasized that I am a businessman."

The reporters in the audience couldn't help laughing.

The identification of Xu Yi's identity has always been a controversial topic in Sainz Continent.

In the beginning, Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were not well-known, so no one cared about Xu Yi's identity.

But later, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gradually became famous, and everyone discovered that Xu Yi, the president of this chamber of commerce, was actually a fairly good magician himself.

When Xu Yi's magician level was not that high, it was just that some people felt that Xu Yi, as a noble magician, had to go to run the chamber of commerce, and it was a bit of a pity to degrade his status.

And when Xu Yi's magical talent gradually showed, his magic level improved rapidly, and he even became a senior magician in just a few years, and then he jumped to become a great magician in his early thirties. The controversy about Xu Yi's identity immediately Much bigger.

The Magician's Union and other magicians on the mainland generally believe that since Xu Yi is a powerful great magician, he is of course a magician first of all. As for his status as a businessman, it is just incidental to him.

Magicians have always looked down on merchants, and this assumption is taken for granted by many.

However, Xu Yi has always emphasized to everyone that he is just a businessman, but his identity as a magician is just incidental.

This undoubtedly made the Magicians Union and other magicians on the mainland feel a little uncomfortable.

You, Xu Yi, are a great magician, but you always emphasize that you are just a businessman. Where does this put the face of magicians? How to reflect the sense of superiority of the magicians?

Therefore, the magicians would always emphasize that Xu Yi was a powerful magician, and he opened the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just to study special magic props such as magic machines.

However, most ordinary people are more likely to accept Xu Yi's status as a businessman as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Because the various magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are closely related to the lives of ordinary people, in the eyes of most ordinary people, they would rather have more magicians like Xu Yi who are willing to be businessmen.

When this controversy first started, it was undoubtedly the magician who had the absolute upper hand. Because magicians have a higher status on the continent of Sainz, this is the consensus of everyone.

But when Xinfei Chamber of Commerce became more and more famous and influential, when the whole continent talked about Xu Yi, it was the first thing that came to mind. It is his identity as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and many times he completely ignores the fact that he is a powerful magician.

After the news that Xu Yizai became a magister broke out, these controversies surrounding Xu Yi's identity escalated again.

There are still thousands of great magicians in the Sains Continent. Xu Yi, a great magician, doesn't care about his status as a magician, so he can barely forget it, but there are only two magisters in the entire Sains Continent. More than ten names.

As a magister, if Xu Yi always emphasized his identity as a businessman but ignored his identity as a magician, where would the magicians on the entire continent be placed? How should they deal with themselves?

However, Xu Yi still insisted on his identity as a businessman, as if he had become a magister in his eyes. It didn't seem like a big deal.

This point of view was further reflected in the subsequent wars with the two empires.

The guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce told everyone with iron-clad facts that the magicians could no longer decide the outcome on the battlefield.

Afterwards, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce presided over the signing of the "Magi Peace Treaty", which completely pulled the magicians out of the battlefield.

So everyone understood that the identities of magicians were nothing to Xu Yi, what he really cared about was his identity as the president of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a businessman.

"To tell you the truth, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money over the years, and even in the past few years, its annual net profit has exceeded 100 million gold coins."

There was a gasp in an instant from the audience.

Although everyone knows that magic machines are very popular on the Sainz continent. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must be very profitable, but no one thought that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would actually make so much money!

One hundred million gold coins!

This is a terrifying statistic that almost no one would have dared to think about in their lifetime, not to mention that this is just the net profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for one year!

"So, purely from a businessman's point of view, I have been very successful, and the money I have earned can guarantee my life without any worries. Then the question comes, what should I do after earning enough money ?”

Everyone in the audience showed a sudden look.

The topic of Xu Yi has undoubtedly been extended to the height of life goals.

With his current status and wealth. It's normal to think about these issues.

In other words, he intends to realize his life goals through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so what exactly is it?

"After thinking for a long time, I thought about the situation when I first created the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The reason for starting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was that I wanted to make a magic fan to relieve the summer heat. Here Afterwards, our Xinfeishang developed a variety of magic machines, helping many people solve problems that have troubled them for many years. Among them, the one that makes me most satisfied and proud is the farmland magic machine .”

Hearing that Xu Yi mentioned the farmland magic machinery, whether it was the reporters or the civilians watching around, they couldn't help but show a trace of respect in the eyes of Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was right. Among the many magic machines invented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the one that was truly welcomed by everyone and changed the lives of countless people was undoubtedly the farmland magic machine.

Because of the appearance of farmland magic machinery, the original Lampari Kingdom completely changed the farmland cultivation mode, and the food production increased significantly, which made countless people no longer suffer from hunger. It can be said that the entire Lampari Kingdom has been completely changed. appearance.

Afterwards, with the large-scale promotion of farmland magic machines, countless countries on the Sainz continent have used farmland magic machines. Cooperating with the chemical fertilizers produced by the elves, the food crisis in many countries has been solved, and there has been no large-scale famine in the Sainz continent for many years.

In the eyes of countless people, nothing else is mentioned. This move of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be said to have completely overshadowed all other chambers of commerce, and many people even publicly called Xu Yi the new savior.

"Farmland magic machinery is very good, but I still feel that it is far from enough. In my opinion, human beings living in this world are not only satisfied with eating, drinking, and warm clothing. In addition, We should also have some higher aspirations."

Everyone in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay.

What Xu Yi said was too much. For many people in Sainz Continent, being able to eat enough, drink enough, and dress warmly is already an extremely difficult wish to achieve.

Even on the current continent of Sainz, there are still countless people who will starve to death because of lack of food, and will freeze to death in the cold wind.

Xu Yi's ability to use farmland magic machinery to improve food production and solve the food and clothing problems of countless people is already a great achievement. Now he even said that human beings should have higher pursuits. This is simply standing and talking without back pain.

"I know you have doubts about what I said." Xu Yi seemed to see the thoughts in the hearts of everyone in the audience, smiled slightly, and continued: "Indeed, it is by no means a simple task to solve the basic life problems of everyone. It is an easy task. But Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and I have been working hard, and will continue to work hard in the future. I separated the magicians from the battlefield in the hope that they could devote themselves to more beneficial causes for human development. Believe me, with enough time, these basic food and clothing problems are not so difficult."

The reporters in the audience had strange expressions, and for a moment they didn't know what expression to use to treat Xu Yi.

In theory. Xu Yi was right.

But the reality is complicated. Is it really possible for the people on Sainz Continent to develop themselves as he thought?

"Now it's time to talk about the topic I mentioned earlier." Xu Yi suddenly raised his head. Looking up at the sky, he was in a daze for a while.

The people in the audience looked up curiously along with him, but only saw a clear sky with no clouds in the sky.

After a while, Xu Yi lowered his head and said, "Everyone, do you know what the land under our feet looks like?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. After a while, the reporter from the "Bonta Daily" tentatively raised his hand.

Xu Yi nodded to him.

"President Xu, I remember that you once published an article in "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly" to discuss this issue. In that article, you said that what we are stepping on is actually a huge circle Ball, the continent of Sainz is just a piece of land on this huge sphere, and on this sphere, there is more of an endless ocean. Am I right?"

Before Xu Yi could answer, the audience was in an uproar.

Among these reporters, many people read "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", but few people noticed that Xu Yi had published this article.

Even if someone has seen it, they will definitely think that Xu Yi's head is completely cramped for a while, and that's why he uttered such nonsense.

What a joke!

Is a huge ball under our feet? If this is the case, wouldn't those people in the north have fallen down long ago?

Xu Yi noticed the different expressions of everyone in the audience, and smiled slightly, thinking that it is obviously not easy for people in this world to take over the basic knowledge of astronomy and geography.

But he has an advantage now, that is, his status determines that no matter what he says, someone will listen carefully and analyze it in depth.

"Yes, I did publish this article, and that's what I said." Xu Yi nodded slightly to the reporter of "Bonta Daily", and then motioned him to sit down. "Regarding the planet under our feet, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will conduct an ocean-going fleet to sail around the world to prove this to everyone."

There was an uproar again in the audience.

What kind of circumnavigation is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce going to conduct?

Although I don't understand what it means, just by hearing the name, I know that it is a very involved activity.

Could it be that Xu Yi intends to invest so much just to prove that there is a planet under people's feet, and that the planet is round?

Xu Yi didn't care about the reaction of the audience, and continued: "As for today, we are going to talk about something deeper. If you look up now, you should see the sun hanging high in the sky. Then if I tell You, the sun is actually a huge luminous planet, and it is countless times bigger than the planet under our feet, what do you think?"

Everyone stared blankly at Xu Yi, without any reaction at all. (~^~)
