Chapter 35: The Magic Kingdom of Mana with Ambiguous Attitude

The meeting was not officially held, and what was said before was of course gossip that didn't make much sense.

Xu Yi didn't have much time to chat here. He didn't come to Mana Magic Kingdom this time just to attend this meeting, he had other important matters.

So after sitting for a while and chatting with other magicians who attended the meeting, Xu Yi said goodbye and left.

Leaving with him was a senior magician sent by the Magic Kingdom of Mana to organize the meeting.

He is not only a senior member of the Magician's Union of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, but also a senior official of the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

This kind of thing that a magician holds two jobs at the same time does not happen in other countries on the mainland, but it is very common in the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

In addition to his task of organizing this high-profile important meeting, the most important thing is to be responsible for receiving distinguished guests.

But Xu Yi, who could almost be called the most important guest, was appointed by the king of the Magic Kingdom of Mana for special reception.

Xu Yilai had already contacted the Magic Kingdom of Mana in advance, and there was no need for any delay between the two parties.

After leaving the manor, the two got into a magic car that had been prepared long ago to receive VIPs, and drove quickly towards the south of Sosri City.

"President Xu, the address of the new factory has been selected, and the foundation has been basically completed. It is next to the Maya Tianhe River in the south of the city, and there is a re-widened national road next to it. After the finished product is produced in the future, it will be very convenient for water or land transportation. .”

Sitting in the car, the magician Van Horn who was in charge of the reception introduced the destination of their trip to Xu Yi.

"I have no doubts about your ability to handle affairs. But... Regarding the future plan of this factory, I wonder if His Majesty the King has thought it through?"

"This..." Van Horn smiled hesitantly, and replied: "His Majesty the King and the adults in the parliament have been trying their best to negotiate these days, and they are waiting for the arrival of President Xu before making a final decision."

"yes?"

Xu Yi asked back lightly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

The heavy-duty magic machinery production base jointly established by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Mana Magic Kingdom had already started contact as early as last year, and it was finally confirmed in the first half of this year. It's just the foundation of a factory. There is not even an answer to whether the entire base has been established, which is extremely inefficient.

This time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce agreed to cooperate with the Magic Kingdom of Mana and transfer a large amount of technology related to heavy magic machinery, which is already an expression of Xu Yi's extreme generosity. However, the Mana Magic Kingdom did not take advantage of this opportunity, and instead procrastinated again and again, so how could Xu Yi not be disappointed.

Of course, Van Horn could see Xu Yi's face, and quickly smiled: "Actually, His Majesty the King and the adults in the parliament have basically reached a consensus, and now I just hope to have another negotiation with you, President Xu. Please agree. President, don't worry. Since planning for this base has already started, there is no reason for the kingdom to give up halfway."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, noncommittal.

In recent years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has cooperated with countless countries on the mainland in countless cooperation projects. For most of the projects, the corresponding countries are very active in this regard, but some are not so active.

There are many reasons for this, and Xu Yi naturally wouldn't take each of them seriously.

After all, there are many countries, chambers of commerce, and organizations seeking cooperation from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and there is no shortage of one or two. If he cared so much about all of them, he would have been exhausted already.

However, the cooperation project of Mana Magic Kingdom is different this time. This is a very rare project that Xu Yi personally proposed and took charge of over the years. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has attached great importance to it.

Even if the scale of this project itself is not particularly large, it is extremely rare at this level.

However, the Mana Magic Kingdom has been pushing and procrastinating, and there is no sign of active cooperation at all, which makes Xu Yi a little upset.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to this project is actually to attach importance to the Magic Kingdom of Mana.

This country itself is named after magic, and it can become the third largest country after the two empires because of the large number of magicians in the country.

And Xu also tried to change the perception and use of magic in the entire Sainz continent, and the Magic Kingdom of Mana was naturally a very important part. So he has always hoped to cooperate well with the Magic Kingdom of Mana so that it can be fully incorporated into the magic industry.

It's just that the "Magician Peace Convention" initiated by Xu Yi restricted the ability of magicians to join the army and then participate in wars. Therefore, the Mana Magic Kingdom, which mainly relies on magicians to form its combat power, suffered the most serious losses.

If it weren't for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's ability to suppress the situation on the mainland, I'm afraid the Mana Magic Kingdom would suffer a great decline in national power because of this.

Therefore, for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the perception of the Magic Kingdom of Mana has always been very complicated. It not only wants to strengthen the national strength through cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it makes many magicians in the Magic Kingdom of Mana feel in their hearts. resentment. unwilling to cooperate.

Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promotes the magic industry in other countries smoothly, but in the Magic Kingdom of Mana, it often encounters obstacles, and even the project that Xu Yi is personally leading now is difficult to advance smoothly.

"I plan to have an audience with His Majesty the King in these two days, please tell me." Xu Yi thought for a while and confessed to Van Horn.

Van Horn nodded immediately: "His Majesty the King has long hoped to meet President Xu. He must be very happy to know that you are here."

Xu Yi hummed, and didn't ask any more questions.

The magic car carried the two of them quickly on the flat road, and within half an hour, they arrived at the base Van Horn mentioned.

However, after getting out of the car, Xu Yi raised his eyes and immediately couldn't help frowning deeply.

The base in front of Van Horn's mouth, now at a glance, is simply a desolate primitive river beach!

Apart from being able to see a few piles of sand and gravel piled up by the river in the distance, and some people seem to be busy next to it, this place can even be called a barren place. Where did the base under construction come from?

"Is this the base you have been preparing for half a year?" Xu Yi looked at the scene in front of him, his voice became cold.

Of course, Van Horn knew that the scene in front of him would not satisfy Xu Yi. He wiped off his sweat, pointed to the piles of gravel in the distance, and argued: "The foundation of the planned first magical machine tool workshop has been laid, as long as Move fast and it can be built early next year."

"As long as you move quickly?" Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer.

In the evaluation of the outside world, the Amly Chamber of Commerce will always get the evaluation of "fast progress and good quality", but that is based on the large number of people in the Amly Chamber of Commerce and the corresponding types of engineering magic machinery.

And in the so-called base in front of him, except for a few figures, there is not even a shadow of an engineering magic machine, so how can it be fast.

What made Xu Yi even more dissatisfied, and even a little angry, was that even if the Mana Magic Kingdom didn't care too much about this project, since they knew that they came to inspect it in person, they would generally look a little better for the sake of face. When he came, he acted as if he was in full swing and working hard on construction, right?

But now the Mana Magic Kingdom is unwilling to even put on a face-saving pretense. Either they don't have this idea at all, or the dispute over this matter within the Mana Magic Kingdom is so intense that no one will do it. This superficiality.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi snorted coldly, glanced at Van Horn, and said in a deep voice: "If your Mana Magic Kingdom is really not interested in this project, you can say so clearly. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not begging for work everywhere. Small Chamber of Commerce, as long as you make it clear, I guarantee that we will never intervene in the future."

Hearing that Xu Yi was really angry, Van Horn broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly said with a smile: "President Xu, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand! Our kingdom is of course willing to cooperate closely with your chamber of commerce, but there are some in the kingdom. ... Cough... just some obstacles. Now that Chairman Xu has come in person, I believe these small obstacles are not a problem at all and can be easily resolved, what do you think?"

"I hope so."

Xu Yi waved his hand with a cold expression.

Since this so-called base was nothing to look at at all, Xu Yi didn't bother to stay here any longer.

He glanced at the construction site that was still slowly grinding foreign workers, shook his head, turned and walked towards the magic car.

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

Looking back in astonishment, I saw a group of people coming from nowhere, rushing into the construction site just now, beating and cursing loudly at the few workers who were still working.

Xu Yi was stunned.

"What's going on here?"

Van Horn glanced at Xu Yi cautiously, and forced a smile to respond: "It seems that someone is causing trouble..."

"Nonsense, I can tell." Xu Yi glared at him, observed from a distance for a while, and found something strange.

Among those who rushed in to attack the workers, there were several magicians!

This made him very strange.

Although the status of magicians has declined slightly in these years, and is no longer as high as before, compared to ordinary people, magicians are still awe-inspiring, and their status is still far higher than ordinary people.

Generally speaking, ordinary magicians would not participate in this kind of direct beating and scolding of workers anyway, which would be detrimental to their status.

Xu Yi squinted his eyes for a while, but Van Horn beside him was also silent, as if he planned to sit and watch this happen.

Seeing Xu Yi turned his head around, Van Horn knew what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'm not in charge of the affairs here. It's not convenient for me to intervene. Please forgive me, Chairman Xu."

Of course Xu Yi didn't believe it.

Since he was the one responsible for bringing him here to watch this farce, how could he have no right to intervene in the affairs here.

In that case, it is nothing more than intending to sit on the sidelines.

Xu Yi looked at the group of people making trouble in the distance again, and frowned.

What is the Magic Kingdom of Mana thinking? Does it do them any good to put on such a posture that they almost want to drive themselves away? (~^~)
