Chapter 111 Other People's Technology
Erwin's reminder was of course out of good intentions, but he didn't know that the current new flight chamber of commerce and the new flight chamber of commerce at this time last year are no longer the same concept.
When Xu Yi came last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just started. Even in Bangta City, it was only a little bit famous. As for the one in Anweimar City, no one had heard of it, so Xu Yi had to do it himself one by one. Go to chat with the magicians who participated in the assessment, and invite them to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with the most sincere and enthusiastic attitude.
Even so, Xu Yi still encountered numerous cold faces.
However, in the past year, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has caused a sensation in the magician circle of the entire Lampari Kingdom because of the addition of the great magician Camilla. Therefore, its reputation has soared, and many magicians have flocked to it.
Previously, Xu Yi even had to refuse some of the magicians who wanted to join the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, under the introduction of the magicians who were already working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, other magicians knew that the treatment given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was very high, and they worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because they were exposed to those novel magics all day long. Arrays, and being asked to master how to arrange them, are actually very helpful for improving magic power.
So for many magicians, especially these low-level magicians, joining the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is actually a very attractive choice.
So there was no need for Xu Yi to take the initiative to look for it, these magicians came to the door themselves.
Erwin had just temporarily ended the conversation with Xu Yi, when some unstoppable magicians found Xu Yi.
Whether it is to ask around the corner or ask directly, they all reveal the same meaning, that is, they are very willing to work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu also did not immediately agree to all of them, but on behalf of the new aircraft business association, they welcomed them.
Although most of the magicians present are probably not likely to become great magicians. But what Xu Yi needs most is to have a consensus in the minds of the magicians of Lampari Kingdom, that it is also a good choice to go to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to study magic machinery, which is equivalent to providing a new way out for these magicians.
After a simple contact, the due assessment officially begins. Xu Yi and Steel left here. The next step is to act separately.
Steele is going to attend a jewelry exhibition held here by the Saranque Chamber of Commerce as a spokesperson, and Xu Yi is at the invitation of the great magician Isenka. Go to the Sorcerer's Tower of the Grand Sorcerer of Isenka.
This is Xu Yi's first visit to the magic tower of the Great Magician of Isenka.
Compared with the Camilla Grand Mage Tower, this Isenka Grand Mage Tower can no longer be described as a tower, but can only be regarded as a general name.
Because the Great Magician's Tower of Esenka is actually a manor occupying more than 5,000 square meters in the southern suburbs of Anweimar City, except for a magician's tower standing in the center of the manor. Other places are also dotted with various buildings, guarding the tower in the middle.
From this alone, it can be seen that the great magician Isenka is worthy of being called the richest magician in the Lampari Kingdom.
When Xu Yi came, the great magician Isenka came out to greet him immediately, showing a more enthusiastic attitude than the last time he went to see Xu Yi in Bangta City.
"President Xu, it's really rare for you to come here. Come, let me show you around here. I think you should have many opportunities to come here again in the future." Great Mage Eisenka said enthusiastically Xu Yi led it in and took him to browse the manor.
Xu Yi was a little surprised by the enthusiastic attitude of the Great Mage Isenka, because although the two sides had agreed to cooperate last time, Xu Yi had some considerations. Some of the unique technologies of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have not been handed over to him according to the wishes of the Great Magician of Esenka, so the cooperation between the two parties can only be regarded as quite shallow at present.
The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has provided R&D funds of more than 3,000 gold coins to the Great Magician of Esenka during the year because of the research tasks on the magic circles that were handed over to the Great Magician Tower of Eisenka, but this point For the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, money is only a drop in the bucket, and of course, it is impossible for the great magician Isenka to look down on it.
Therefore, Xu Yi originally thought that even if the great magician Isenka invited himself this time, it was just a matter of etiquette, but he did not expect him to show such an attitude, as if the two sides were really very close partners.
"Look, President Xu, this is the Magic Array Research Center that I specially set aside for our collaborative research project."
When Xu Yi was still thinking about this question in his heart, the great magician Isenka had brought him to a courtyard consisting of six two-story buildings.
Listening to the introduction of the great magician Isenka, Xu Yi looked at the small courtyard in front of him and felt that this small courtyard was a bit similar to the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't know if the R&D force inside was also similar to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Magic Academy is so powerful.
"Now, there are a total of twenty fourth-level to seventh-level magicians who are doing their best to study the magic circle, and I often come here to do some research. The Magic Research Institute is still a little worse, but it won't be too far away." Great Mage Isenka said to Xu Yi somewhat contentedly.
Xu Yi shook his head secretly in his heart.
Not to mention that there is a huge gap between the number of magicians here and the Magic Research Institute of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the magician Camilla decided to study magic machinery, but the magician Isenka only came here occasionally. This difference is enough to widen the gap between the two sides.
The main project of the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Great Magician Eisenka is research in this area, so when they got here, the Great Magician Eisenka did not take Xu Yi to other places in the manor, and brought Xu Yi with him. After taking a look around each small building, he went directly to the magic tower in the center of the manor. (Pingnan took a closer look and found that this magic tower is as high as thirteen floors, which is nearly double the height of the Camilla Great Magician Tower with only seven floors, and the ground floor covers an area of Also more than twice as wide.
This is enough to prove the financial gap between the two great magicians.
However, the general structures of the two magic towers are similar, and the top floors are the private spaces of the two great magicians.
After the great magician Isenka led Xu Yi to the top floor, he waved all the other followers to retreat, and then poured a cup of tea for Xu Yi himself. Only then did he sit down, posing as if he wanted to discuss with Xu Yi in detail.
After a few scenes, Xu Yi asked about the progress of the research.
The initial cooperation between the two parties is funded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Great Magician of Isenka organized manpower to complete the research.
Previously, Xu Yi gave the research task to the great magician of Esenka. It is about the continuous and stable power output of the magic circle, and how to keep the magic circle on the magic machine intact for a long time.
After half a year of research. These two subjects have achieved certain breakthroughs and have basically met the requirements put forward by Xu Yi.
However, after the great magician Esenka introduced the current progress of the research on these two topics, he said something intriguing.
"According to the original agreement, I can hand over these two research results to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. However, I can also choose to pay liquidated damages and hand over these two technologies to other chambers of commerce. President Xu, many chambers of commerce are concerned about these two items. The technology was interested and promised me that it would support the liquidated damages for me and buy it at a high enough price.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that the Great Magician Isenka didn't know if he was reminding himself or not.
"Of course, this is your freedom, Your Excellency the Great Mage. But I think that since you took the initiative to seek cooperation with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, you must not intend to destroy this cooperative relationship at this time, right? Otherwise. With your financial resources, There is absolutely no need for us to pay for R&D.”
"That's right." The Great Magician Eisenka nodded and said: "Compared to other chambers of commerce in the kingdom that are still very immature in the research of magic machinery, of course I would prefer to be able to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So President Xu As long as you can agree to the conditions I put forward, I think I will not only present the two research results in accordance with the agreement. I will also continue to assist you in your research."
Xu Yi didn't look surprised: "Please tell me your conditions, Your Excellency the Great Mage."
"According to my original idea, we both enjoy the researched technologies together, and as long as the chamber of commerce uses these two technologies, they must pay the patent fees for these two technologies. However, at present, whether it is within the kingdom or the magician's union The corresponding patent bills have not been passed, so after thinking about it, I think it is better to deal with these two technologies in the way you did before the Chamber of Commerce." said the great magician of Esenka.
"The method adopted by our chamber of commerce?" Xu Yi thought for a while. "Does it mean selling the technology directly and then charging the corresponding fee?"
"Yes. I think this method is very good. Now these two technologies belong to us, so the income from selling the technology also belongs to both of us. What do you think, President Xu?"
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked: "There are two questions. How should we calculate the proportion of the two parties? And the magic machinery of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also use these two technologies, so how should we calculate it?"
"Because the research on these two technologies is funded by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I am from my side, I think it is a reasonable choice to divide by half. As for the new aircraft Chamber of Commerce, these two technologies will also be used... Xu Hui Long, I think your new pilots will also need to spend money on these two technologies, but we still split in half."
"In other words, if our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to use these two technologies, it still has to pay you the corresponding technology usage fees?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes."
Xu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't agree. If these two technologies are sold to other chambers of commerce, then I agree with the distribution plan proposed by your Excellency the Great Magician. But if our new flying chamber of commerce uses the Two technologies, then I hope we can be immune to that."
The Great Mage Eisenka seemed to have no idea that Xu Yi would refuse so bluntly, frowning slightly.
"President Xu, although your new flight merchants have invested in these two technologies, my magicians and I have also put a lot of effort into this. If as you said, your new flight merchants will use this technology. Two technologies do not need to fly any fees, so we are bound to lose a very large amount of income. Do you think... Is this fair?"
"This has nothing to do with fairness or unfairness. I just don't want the magic machinery produced by our chamber of commerce to be subject to such or such restrictions, or to put it simply, I don't like it." Xu Yi said bluntly.
Archmagic Isenka frowned a little deeper.
"President Xu, I hope you will not be influenced by your own personal preferences. As I said just now, I can completely pay liquidated damages to your chamber of commerce according to the agreement, and then take these two technologies as my own. After that, you If the chamber of commerce wants to use these two technologies, it must come and buy it from me.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, loosened his body, leaned back on the chair, spread his hands, and said with a relaxed expression, "If you really decide to do this, Master Mage, please do so."
The Great Magician of Isenka immediately changed slightly.
