Chapter 33 Technology R&D Is the Key
"Master President, do you still need to ask the elders for such an obvious fact?". Yanis looked up at Xu Yi with a puzzled look on her face. "If they didn't agree with you, it would be impossible for the clansmen to come to work in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. For example, if I didn't really accept you, how could I stay by your side all the time?"
"You are different from them." Xu Yi shook his head. "You are the first elf I came into contact with. The reason why you stayed by my side at the beginning was because I asked for it from the hands of Elder Elusia, and you have stayed by my side for such a long time. What if Even if you don't agree with me, then I have to review my character."
Yanis giggled: "There is no need to criticize. President, although your heart is not as pure as Sister Steele and Vivienne, you are still very outstanding among human beings. Anyway, I like to stay here. By your side, if you drive me away, I will still be unhappy."
Xu Yi couldn't help scratching her nose: "Could it be possible// x-on:.s. Do you still want to stay by my side? Sooner or later you will marry like other elves, and then you will have your own life gone."
Yanis rolled her eyes, clapped her hands suddenly, and said excitedly: "By the way, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered. President, didn't you tell me last time that it is absolutely impossible for elves and humans to combine Is it? But I asked the elder, and she told me that there is no possibility of the combination of elves and humans. On the contrary, before the race war, there were many elves and humans who combined and gave birth to children. Elf." "And then?" Xu Yi gave her a white look. "These half-elves must not be accepted by the elves, right? A lot of words"
"Well...it seems so. But it was thousands of years ago. It's not the same as now. Mr. President. Anyway, what you said before was wrong, we can be combined. And I'm sure, the rest of us The half-elven children of my family will certainly accept it. So you needn't worry."
"I'm not worried about a ghost!" Xu Yi reprimanded, curled up his index finger and tapped Yanis's forehead hard. "I said, what are you thinking about these things all day at a young age? Don't you feel shy?".
"Shy? Why are you shy?" Yanis touched her forehead with a puzzled expression. "Heterosexual union and racial reproduction are normal topics. You are a human male, and I am an elf female. Is there anything shy about discussing the possibility of union between us and the reproduction of offspring? And Chairman, I have said many times that I am over eighty years old! Much older than you!"
Xu Yi was completely defeated by the naive Yanis, and couldn't help but sigh and help his forehead.
"Okay, you don't feel shy, I feel shy. Anyway, don't discuss this kind of topic so loudly in front of so many people, okay?" Xu Yi raised his head and glanced around at the strange eyes cast on him. The crowd stared back at them fiercely. "If you are really concerned about this issue, next time I will go with you to see Elder Alcia and discuss it." "Okay. I also have a lot of questions to ask the elder." Yanis said happily. Clapping his hands, he readily agreed.
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly. Turning around, he waved to Vivienne who was looking at him from a distance.
"Come on, Vivienne, take Agnes to Kennard, and explain some of your design ideas to the officials sent by the Magic Industry Administration over there. Today is the Magic Industry Administration. This is the first official visit to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you must take it seriously."
"Oh."
Just as Vivienne dragged Yanis, who still had some unfinished looks, to leave, a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary but well-dressed, who could be seen from a noble family at a glance, came to Xu Yi's side.
"Are the two of them the two most outstanding designers of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? They are really young and promising." The middle-aged man looked at the backs of Vivian and Yanis who had left, and sighed softly.
"It's nothing, they just have been in contact for a long time, so practice makes perfect." Xu Yi responded calmly, and turned to look at the middle-aged man. "Speaking of excellent designers, I think the ten chambers of commerce must have the help of many outstanding art masters in the kingdom, and they will definitely not be inferior to the two of them. Am I right, Director Russell?"
Deno Russell, the current director of the Magic Industry Administration, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "President Xu, you should understand better than anyone else that an artist and a designer are two different things. The beautiful elf lady Yani Silk is not only a designer, but also an art master recognized by everyone in the kingdom. But none of those art masters can be called a designer."
"It's simple, let them participate in the design more, and after a long time, they will naturally become designers." Xu Yidao.
Director Russell looked at Xu Yi, smiled and said: "President Xu, it seems that you are still a little dissatisfied with the transfer of technology."
Xu Yi glanced at him, then slowly shook his head: "No, I'm not dissatisfied. It's just that these things were researched by myself after all, and I still feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly have to hand them over to others."
Director Russell laughed: "I understand your feelings, President Xu, but for everything, we have to look forward, don't we? Although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has handed over these technologies, it seems that you are at a disadvantage Yes. But regardless of the technology transfer fees that the ten chambers of commerce must pay to accept these technologies, just how much it will bring about the promotion of the entire magic industry after these ten more chambers of commerce participate in the magic industry. President, you don’t understand, right? A lot of words.”
Xu Yi smiled coldly in his heart.
Technology transfer fee?
When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce publicly sold technology including magic stoves, magic electric furnaces, magic air conditioners, and other household magic machinery, any chamber of commerce that wanted to obtain related technologies had to pay a minimum technology transfer fee of 100,000 gold coins.
And what about the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration?
The largest technology transfer fee is only 30,000 gold coins!
And the 30,000 gold coins even included a whole set of magic machine tool production lines!
If it is really converted. These technologies are almost the same as those given to them by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for free!
The so-called technology transfer fee. In Xu Yi's view, it was clearly just a fig leaf. It's just proof that these guys want to be whores but still have to set up a torii.
Xu Yi did not object to the so-called promotion effect brought about by the participation of these ten chambers of commerce in the magic industry.
Behind these ten chambers of commerce are the shadows of those old nobles in the kingdom. With such a solid backing, and now coupled with the technology provided by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, these ten chambers of commerce will inevitably rush into the ranks of the magic industry in a short period of time. , to accelerate the overall development of the magic industry.
More importantly, because of the joining of these ten chambers of commerce, the stubborn old-school nobles who previously opposed the magic industry will naturally no longer insist on this position. Instead, they will turn around and support the development of the magic industry.
For example, one of the conditions that Xu Yi proposed to King Eric through the city lord Kamadou before was to adjust back the special business tax for magic machines.
After Xu Yi transferred part of the technology, this condition was quickly responded to.
Just half a month ago, the commercial tax reform in Bangta City was abolished on the grounds that "experiments have proved that it is not applicable".
Because of this relationship, many magic industry chambers of commerce and some small chambers of commerce engaged in the parts processing industry in Bangta City, which were already on the verge of closure, quickly revived, and the entire Bangta City seemed to be rejuvenated in an instant.
However, Xu Yi is still not optimistic about their prospects.
These ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Management Agency will inevitably enjoy various policy deflection and preferential treatment in the future. These chambers of commerce without any foundation in Bangta City want to compete with them, and they are simply throwing pebbles at stones.
Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive under their attack.
The reason why they have not swallowed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is entirely because they have not digested the various technologies of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Leaving the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has value.
Every time he thought of this question, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Business wants to be completely free from the influence of politics. It's just too difficult.
Fortunately, he had already figured this out and made preparations in advance.
The things he is doing now are just for his long-standing dream of creating an industrial system.
Leaving some kindling of the magic industry for Bangta City, or for the Kingdom of Lampari, is all he can do so far. When the magic industry developed like a prairie fire, it was beyond the current Xu Yi's decision.
After taking a deep look at Director Russell, Xu Yi said solemnly: "I believe that after those ten chambers of commerce join the ranks of the magic industry, it will definitely make the magic industry in the Kingdom of Lampari flourish. But I have a word, I hope Director Russell can mention it to me and pass it on to the heads of the ten chambers of commerce."
Seeing that Xu Yi spoke solemnly, Director Russell's expression also became serious.
"Please say."
"Transferring the technology already mastered by our chamber of commerce is actually not difficult for me to accept. In fact, before this, our chamber of commerce has already transferred a lot of technology related to the production of magic machinery."
"Well, I understand. For President Xu's selfless actions, when I talked with many people in private, I expressed my admiration." Director Russell nodded.
"What I want to say is that it is of course no problem to directly obtain the mature technology that has been successfully developed from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This is also the fastest and most convenient way. But have you ever thought about a problem, once our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce masters With all the technology taken away, what should we do next?"
Director Russell smiled awkwardly and said: "I understand what you mean, President Xu. You have always emphasized that the development of the magic industry cannot be separated from the research and development of technology. I think the ten chambers of commerce are also very Understand this truth, there is no need to worry about it. Besides, there is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce led by President Xu, isn’t it?”.
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, you don't understand, and they don't understand either. Technology research and development is just a sentence, but it is not as easy as you think to actually achieve it. To put it bluntly, no matter the personnel, the theory The foundation still has the most basic workers, and currently there is no chamber of commerce that can compare with our Xinfei chamber of commerce.”
Director Russell frowned: "Then Chairman Xu, what good suggestions do you have?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I don't have any suggestions, only... wish you good luck."
Seeing the half-smile on Xu Yi's face, Director Russell couldn't help but change slightly.
