The negotiations between Morey and Sandy couldn't last long. ,
After receiving clear conditions from the elves from Sandy, Morey left immediately.
Sandy is right, there is a time limit for the use of chemical fertilizers. If the best fertilization period for spring plowing is missed, the Sak Kingdom will waste a whole spring planting.
According to various data collected from the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Standing, the increase in yield after the use of chemical fertilizers in farmland is considerable.
If chemical fertilizers can be used for spring plowing this time, the grain production of the Sak Kingdom may increase again this year, and it may be possible to achieve complete self-sufficiency.
Of course, he didn't directly leave Bangta City, which he specially chose for this contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but passed the news back to the Sak Kingdom through another channel.
While waiting patiently for His Majesty's decision and the final reply of the Kingdom Council, he still needs to use this time to continue to strengthen his investigation of Bangta City, and strive to learn more from this amazing city.
However, Morey didn't expect that when he left, a completely unexpected figure walked into the negotiation room.
Seeing this person walk in, Sandy changed her expression of being so cold that no one should enter, and stood up with a smile on her face to greet him.
"President Xu, do you think my performance just now is acceptable? Did I meet your negotiating requirements?"
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze from looking at the back of Morey who was striding away outside, and turned to look at Sandy. smile slightly. Asked back: "What do you think?"
Sandy blinked. Immediately discouraged, he shook his head dejectedly: "It seems that there is no such thing. President Xu, the negotiation skills you mentioned are so difficult for human beings. I don't think you can learn them no matter how hard you try."
Xu Yi laughed, patted her on the shoulder lightly and said: "Actually, it is not necessary to learn our human negotiation skills. Your performance just now is also very good in terms of results. You see, it is Because of your behavior, Director Morey felt that there was no possibility of bargaining with you, so in the end he could only obediently accept your terms."
"He didn't accept it. He just said to give them time to study." Sandy said in surprise.
"Trust me. They will eventually accept it." Xu Yi said confidently.
"Really?" Sandy thought for a while, then laughed again. "That would be great. In this way, the elder's wish will be fulfilled, and our tribe will have another living space."
Looking at the happy Sandy, Xu Yi frowned slightly.
"Actually...Sandy, I still don't quite understand why Elder Lisanya insists on obtaining a piece of territory. Now the Sark Kingdom has a very strong demand for fertilizers. As Morey said just now, no matter what conditions you put forward, they will Yes, then why don't you take the opportunity to propose other better conditions?"
Sandy shook her head: "I'm not sure. But I think... the elder just wants to win a piece of territory for our tribe that truly belongs to us."
Xu Yi fell silent.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood.
Perhaps it is because the elves have no space of their own for thousands of years after the race war, so they are extremely eager for such a territory.
For example, when the Azshara tribe put forward conditions to the Luerxun Kingdom, they first chose to let the Luerxun Kingdom give that piece of territory to their tribe.
And for the Kingdom of Rulson. That territory had always been a desolate place, and had always been occupied by the Azshara tribe. Even if the Azshara tribe doesn't want it, it has always been under the control of the Azshara tribe, and it has only a nominal affiliation with the Rulson Kingdom.
Compared with the actual benefits obtained from the Azshara tribe, this nominal relationship is not important at all.
Even though there are many human beings who value this nominal relationship, there are ten thousand ways in the Rulson Kingdom to solve this problem nominally.
Now the Moon Shadow Tribe has also put forward such a request to the Kingdom of Sark, and I believe that the Kingdom of Sark will finally agree after careful research.
After all, the territory that the Moon Shadow Tribe wanted was of no use to the Sark Kingdom, and it was not a loss at all to exchange it for the most important fertilizer.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi thought of the Yege tribe again.
The Azshara tribe needs a territory, and the Moonshadow tribe also needs one, but the Yege tribe, which Xu Yi first came into contact with, has never raised the same demand.
Of course, this may be because the population of the Nightsong tribe is only in the early thousand, so their current need for territory is not urgent.
"By the way, President Xu, can you do me a favor?" Sandy said suddenly.
"Huh? What's the matter? Tell me."
"You will go to the magic car race later, right? Then you should meet the elder?"
"Yes. What? Do you want me to tell you the result of the negotiation with the Kingdom of Sac?" Xu Yi asked back.
"Well. There are still some things in the factory, I can't leave, can I trouble you to tell the elder the result?"
"No problem." Xu Yi nodded, paused, and continued: "You should indeed be busy during this period of time. If there is no accident, the Sak Kingdom will agree to your conditions. Then according to estimates, Sak The Kingdom of Ke will at least need to purchase more than 100,000 tons of chemical fertilizers that are good for wheat planting. With your current production, this is very stressful."
"Yeah..." Sandy nodded, with a look of embarrassment on her face. "President Xu, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. Our fertilizer processing plant intends to order another set of fertilizer processing equipment, and it is best to deliver it at the end of the month and put it into production. Otherwise, I am afraid that if Sak The Kingdom agreed to the conditions, and we did not have enough time to produce enough fertilizer."
Xu Yi chuckled: "Sandy, if I told you that the new fertilizer processing equipment provided to you is already on its way here. Would you be surprised?"
Sandy's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? That's great! President Xu. You are...so wise!"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Actually, this is a bit risky. Because I don't know what conditions you will ask the Sak Kingdom. If they refuse to agree, you don't need to increase production. The fertilizer processing equipment we produced can It fell into the hands."
"No, no, President Xu, even if there is no Sak Kingdom, I am still considering the issue of increasing production. Now many countries are asking us to order fertilizers, and I have long planned to increase production." Sandy repeatedly waved.
"Well, very good. Sandy. You can have this idea, which proves that you are finally a decent supervisor." Xu Yi smiled.
Receiving Xu Yi's praise, Sandy laughed happily like a little girl.
However, Xu Yi's next question froze her smile on her face.
"But Sandy, although the equipment is sufficient, what about the manpower problem? Can you solve it?"
Sandy stayed for a while, then smiled wryly and shook her head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. There are only so many people in the tribe. I guess I can only ask the brothers and sisters in the factory to work more overtime."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you considered recruiting workers of other races? For example, our human workers?"
Sandy took a deep look at Xu Yi and shook her head: "No. I won't think about it for now."
Xu Yi nodded and didn't ask Sandy any more questions.
But an hour and a half later. When Xu Yi saw Elder Lisanya who was sitting in his exclusive car preparing for the race at the Bangta Circuit, he still couldn't help raising this question again.
Elder Lisanya did not refuse like Sandy.
"To be honest, I have considered this issue. But President Xu, you should understand that I don't value the income generated by this fertilizer processing plant itself the most, so it doesn't matter if the output is higher or lower. But if you let this fertilizer The processing factory has recruited workers of other races, so it is necessary to let the tribesmen and workers of other races get along day and night, and stay together for a long time."
"Isn't that good?" Xu Yi asked back. "When this chemical fertilizer processing plant was established, I told you that this is a good opportunity to promote the integration of your elves and us humans."
"The problem is that the clansmen are not yet mentally prepared." Elder Lisanya retorted. "Let them live with other races now, they won't get used to it."
Xu Yi was speechless for a moment.
This fertilizer processing factory has been established for more than five years. The elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe usually get along with humans a lot. As a result, they are not yet ready to fully integrate into other races. This is really too slow.
"But I think you are well integrated. You see, now you have even taken participation in this magic car race with many races as a routine activity." Xu Yidao.
"This is my personal hobby. Besides, I am an elder, so of course I have to set an example for my tribe." Elder Lisanya replied with a face of course.
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Elder Lisanya has always shown a strong interest in drag racing. It is true to say that this is her personal hobby, but she said that she should set an example for the tribe... This is a bit of a fake public benefit?
However, from the attitudes of Sandy and Elder Lisanya, Xu also knew that at least the Moon Shadow tribe was not yet ready to fully integrate into human society.
And the Moon Shadow tribe is the tribe that has the most frequent contact with humans among the three elven tribes he knows.
If it were the Nightsong tribe and the Azshara tribe, this question might not need to be asked at all.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi retreated to one side of the audience seat, silently watching the participating drivers sitting and preparing for the race.
This is the third year that the Magic Car event has been held in Boonta City.
Last year, because Prince Frank suddenly sent a representative to participate, the event was blocked and there were no spectators. However, this year, after the deliberate publicity of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the private communication of a group of young nobles in Bangta City, many people came to watch , which has attracted widespread attention.
And even if the magic car competition itself is put aside, the contestants alone are already worthy of special mention.
For example, the contestants in this competition brought together many drivers of different races, among them, besides the orc race, there was even a majestic elder of the elf race!
And even among the human racing drivers, there is actually such an incomparably noble magister as Camilla Magister!
Just putting these participating drivers together is enough to attract the attention of countless people.
So before today's game started, the auditorium was almost full of people.
If it wasn't for Xu Yi to have his own exclusive podium seat, he might not even be able to find a place to watch.
Not long after sitting on the rostrum, there was a sudden commotion behind him.
Xu Yi looked back, only to find that it was Count Rewell, the current lord of Bangta City, who came with his men.
Xu Yi raised his hand to say hello, but unexpectedly found that the expression on Earl Rewell's face was very solemn, and he couldn't help being stunned.
"President Xu, you are indeed here." Earl Rewell nodded to Xu Yi, then pointed behind him as a signal.
Xu Yi understood, got up and went with him to the inside of the arena, and walked into a sealed room.
With the door closed, Xu Yi looked at Earl Rewell with a slightly gloomy face, and asked in wonder, "What's the matter? Lord Earl, is something wrong?"
Earl Revere signaled the entourage behind him to leave the room, and asked him to close the door, then took out a thin document from his pocket, patted it on the table in front of Xu Yi, and shouted in a low voice: "President Xu, please You give a reasonable explanation."
