Chapter 104 One Year Deadline

"5,700 gold coins and 350,000 gold coins, tsk tsk..." Haines looked at the two things in Xu Yi's hands and praised them again and again. "I said Xu Yi, your gap is too big. If I were Freddo, I would also think that you are purely making trouble."

"This notebook of Magister Thorne is what I want. Of course, the lower the price, the better. Don't pretend to be poor. How can I get it for only 5,700 gold coins? According to my understanding of it The valuation should be at least more than 100,000 gold coins." Xu Yidao.

"Minimum 100,000 gold coins?" Haines snatched Magister Thorne's notes from Xu Yi in wonder and flipped through them, only to find that they were just like many magicians' notes, recording some research questions about magic. There's nothing too unusual about it, so I couldn't help wondering: "What's so special about this thing? You're so willing to spend money?"

"If even you can see what's special inside, then how could I get it so easily." Xu Yi smiled and took the note back and put it away carefully. "I can only tell you that with the above things, I can definitely develop good things that will bring millions or even tens of millions of gold coins to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"Hey, you're bragging too much, right? A lot of words." Heina was a little unconvinced for a moment. "If you want to say that you can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins for your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with this thing, I will believe it based on your usual skills. Millions or even tens of millions of gold coins? Are you kidding me!" Xu Yi shrugged: "Forget it if you don't believe me."

Haines snorted coldly, then pointed to the necklace in the box in Xu Yi's hand: "What about this necklace? It cost you 350,000 gold coins? You have never been so extravagant, have you? A lot of words"

Xu Yi glanced at the box in his hand, sighed and said: "There is no way. Public relations costs must be paid. In order to flatter the Lifao family. Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is not too much. I Originally, the expected amount was as high as possible, and this purposely provoked Freddo, hoping that he could raise the price with me and raise the final auction price. But I didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant, but he just I was really disappointed because I retreated because of a mere 350,000 gold coins."

Haines glared at Xu Yi angrily and amusedly: "Do you think that anyone can control so many gold coins at will like you? This is because your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so profitable and the profit is too high, so you can spend three gold coins at will. A large number like 150,000 gold coins. If it were the president of another chamber of commerce, he wouldn’t be as lavish as you. As for Freddo... Although their family is rich, he is not the patriarch. How could he be like you? Such arrogance." "Since I have no confidence, why do I act so arrogantly, causing me to miscalculate his strength and have great expectations for him." Xu Yi shook his head and sighed.

Haines rolled his eyes: "You are enough, if Fredo hears your words, he will be so angry."

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about him. I asked you to contact the Lifao family for me. How is it going?"

"Aren't you worried about my work? No problem. I've already contacted a certain kid from their family and made an appointment to meet him tomorrow night."

"A certain kid?" Xu Yi frowned. "My goal is to have a direct conversation with the patriarch of their family. What's the use of seeing this person?"

"Because this kid is the son of the current patriarch of the Lifao family, and he is his only son." Haines explained. "Let me tell you, although the Lifao family has fallen, they are still very proud. If you want to meet the patriarch directly, your identity is not enough. Even if the great magician Camilla comes forward in person, they may not be willing to see you. So, let’s take it one step at a time.”  …

"Can't three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins knock on the door of their family? Isn't the threshold too high? It's a lot of words." Xu Yi glanced at the box in his hand, and couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Fortunately, this necklace is exquisite in workmanship, beautiful in appearance and has a sense of mystery. In addition, the resounding signboard made by the great magister Lifao himself is a good gift for Steele. The 350,000 gold coins are a bit of a loss.

"Nonsense, he is a descendant of a great magister, of course the threshold is high." Haines glared at Xu Yi, and said: "It's an appointment for tomorrow night, remember to reserve time in advance, don't make an appointment with me at that time." Well, if you don’t show up, then even this opportunity is gone.”

"Well...tomorrow night...should be fine, I will arrange it." Xu Yi nodded in response.

Haines nodded, thought for a while and continued: "Okay, this matter has been decided, let's discuss the matter of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce advertising on the "Anweimar Daily"."

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback: "Didn't I tell you about this in advance? What else are we discussing? Could something have changed?"

"This..." The expression on Haines' face was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. "There is nothing wrong with me. But you also know that I am not the only one who has the final say on the "Anvimar Daily". After I reported the advertisements that your chamber of commerce wanted to place, some people raised objections. "

Xu Yi frowned: "Who? Against what?"

"It's inconvenient for me to tell you who. As for the objection...the main reason is that our "Anvimar Daily", as the largest newspaper in the Lampari Kingdom, wants to advertise for a chamber of commerce of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Some can't justify..."

"So? What are the conditions?" Xu Yi cut off Haines's words unceremoniously.

The expression on Haines’s face became even more awkward, and he hesitated for a while before saying: “The opinions of those above are that it’s okay to place advertisements, and as a newspaper, this is what we should do. But our Anweimar Daily is the Kingdom’s No. A big newspaper, if you want to advertise on it, you must show enough sincerity..."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Yi nodded. "One hundred thousand gold coins, is it enough?"

Haines was taken aback: "One hundred thousand gold coins? Xu Yi, you...are you kidding me?".

"Why? Do you think it's too much?" Xu Yi asked back.

"No, it's not that I think it's too much, oh no, it's not right, I really think it's too many. Those people asked me to come to you to talk about this matter, meaning that you can take out 10,000 gold coins, but you just opened your mouth and got 100,000 gold coins? I said, do you have so much money that you have no place to use it?" Haines asked anxiously.

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

People in this world really don't know much about the power of newspapers, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have such a small appetite.

Haines is actually right. Because Haines is the editor-in-chief of Anvilmar Daily, and there are many nobles and even royal families in the city of Anvilmar behind it, it has indeed developed into the No. 1 newspaper in the Lampari Kingdom. A large newspaper with distribution in every city in the kingdom.

The asking price of 10,000 gold coins is actually quite low for a big newspaper with such influence and scope to advertise on it.

"Well, Haines, we are old friends now, so I won't beat around the bush with you. One hundred thousand gold coins, but my request is that "Anvimar Daily" and "Lampari Weekly" cannot publish in the future Any negative news and news about our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, within this month, "Anweimar Daily" can only publish our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's advertisements, and will not accept any advertisements from other chambers of commerce. At the same time, this advertising agreement continues One year, as for one year later, the agreement will be made according to the situation. What do you think?"...

Haines frowned and thought for a long time, with a hesitant expression on his face: "Other conditions are fine, but the "Anvimar Daily" and "Lampari Weekly" are not allowed to publish any negative news and news about your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. That's it... ...Just... To be honest, it's a bit against my principles. Xu Yi, you should be very clear that the reason why I love this career is because it can reveal the unknown facts to everyone and expose sins to the sun Next. Although I don't think your Xinfei Merchant will make these things happen, but just in case..."

Xu Yi smiled, thinking that Haines has been in the newspaper industry for almost three years, and it is really rare that he still maintains such a pure heart and enthusiasm.

"Okay then, let's set a deadline, and it's not set in one year. During this year, neither the "Anvimar Daily" nor the "Lampari Weekly" are allowed to report on any news from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Negative news, as for what you want to do in a year, that's up to you."

Haines was silent for a while, then frowned and asked, "Xu Yi, why do you insist on this request? And what does it mean to limit the time limit to one year?"

"To put it simply, it is because this year is the most critical period for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. I hope to give me another year of relaxed environment to develop the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or to be more precise, the magic industry to Lampali. Every corner of the kingdom, so I don't want any unexpected situations and obstacles." Xu Yi replied.

"I think I understand it. Your chamber of commerce has started to invest heavily in building factories in other cities in the past few months, just for this development plan, right? A lot of words"

"This is just the beginning." Xu Yi nodded. "My goal is that in the future, every city in the kingdom will have a factory that produces magic machinery, and everyone in the kingdom will find corresponding jobs in these factories. Every place in the kingdom can become like Bangta City Just as prosperous."

Haines took a deep look at Xu Yi and nodded slowly: "I believe you can do it. Well, for your goal, I will violate my principles once and promise you this condition. But Xu Yi, you Remember, the time limit is only one year. And if your Xinfei Merchant Association has done anything wrong during this year, I will also write it down and reveal it all in one year's time!"

Xu Yi smiled slightly, and made a gesture of spreading his hands: "Please feel free."
