Chapter 87 Copycat Is Not Easy

Xu Yi came to the Candela Empire on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time. On the surface, he was invited by Prince Frank to build a magic locomotive factory on his private territory in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire. At the same time, he also wanted to build a racing track. , introducing new flying racing competitions to the Candela Empire, Prince Frank the Barbarian's love of racing.

But in fact, both Xu Yi and Prince Frank are well aware that this represents a test made by the Candela Empire to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two invasions of the Rulson Kingdom resulted in disastrous defeats, which made the Candela Empire clearly realize the incomparable power that military magic machines can exert on the battlefield, and also made the Candela Empire officially fly to the new Chamber of Commerce, a small country in the southwest, for the first time. An unknown small chamber of commerce.

However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce understands that it supports the Luerson Kingdom, a country defined by the Candela Empire as an enemy country, but it makes it difficult for the Candela Empire to openly seek cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so let Prince Frank cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before this. It was a matter of course that a guy who had been in contact with him and was still the prince of the Candela Empire came forward to contact the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

As for Xu Yi, supporting the Kingdom of Rulson to repel the invasion of the Candela Empire, apart from the need to erect a barrier in front of the Principality of Standing, was also an advertisement for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that the Candela Empire was forced to notice the new Fly Chamber of Commerce.

Facts have proved that this advertisement is very successful.

The Candela Empire not only noticed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but even paid attention to it.

However, in the cooperation between the two parties, differences inevitably appeared.

The primary target of the Candela Empire is of course the military magic machinery that caused their disastrous defeat in the war of invading the Lurson Kingdom, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's target. Or Xu Yi's goal. The focus is on the full popularization of civilian magic machines in the Kandela Empire.

After meeting Duke Mogudu, Governor of the Southwest Province. Under the arrangement of the Duke of Mogudu, Xu Yi had a secret meeting with the representative sent by Prince Frank.

The first half of the negotiation went very smoothly. Prince Frank leased 100 hectares of land in his private domain to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at a very low price for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a magic locomotive factory and supporting production bases.

In addition, Prince Frank will provide another 50 hectares of land for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build a racing track on it.

It's just that this racing track still belongs to Prince Frank in name. What the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can do is to assist Prince Frank in holding professional racing competitions in this racing track.

These two points have been discussed by the two sides before, and there is no surprise.

But after confirming these two cooperative projects. Baron Julian, the representative sent by Prince Frank, put forward new requirements.

"President Xu, His Royal Highness's personal guard just needs to be changed recently. He is very interested in the military magic machines of your chamber of commerce. He wants to buy a batch of equipment for the private guard. I don't know what President Xu wants?"

"Oh?" Xu Yi smiled, thinking that Prince Frank, as the third prince of the Candela Empire, wanted to change equipment for his private guard, which was definitely not a trivial matter.

It would be a serious crime to do so without the approval of the Candela Empire Noble Council. It is even very likely to be charged with treason.

Prince Frank is not stupid, how could he make such a request rashly.

So obviously. In fact, this request was not made by Prince Frank at all, but the will of the Candela Empire.

Of course, Xu Yi was not surprised by this.

Having failed to invade the Luerson Kingdom twice in a row, and having personally experienced the terrifying power of military magic machines, it would be strange if the Kendela Empire had no interest in military magic machines.

"I don't know which military magic machines His Royal Highness is interested in?" Xu Yi asked after thinking about it. "The military magic machines currently produced by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are divided into three categories, seventeen sub-categories, and a total of thirty-nine types. Not all of them may be suitable for the personal guard of His Royal Highness."

"There are so many kinds?" Baron Julian was startled, and then he was overjoyed.

Since Xu Yi said so, it means that he has the possibility of selling military magic machinery.

After thinking for a while, Baron Julian said seriously: "No matter what kind of military magic machines, His Royal Highness is very interested. Therefore, President Xu, please prepare a copy of the materials of these thirty-nine kinds of military magic machines. Give it to me, I will take it back and hand it over to His Royal Highness for him to decide."

"I can give you the information, but if His Royal Highness wants to buy all thirty-nine kinds of military magic machines... I'm afraid it's impossible." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Baron Julian frowned. "President Xu, are you worried that His Royal Highness will not be able to pay the money?"

"Of course not." Xu Yi shook his head. "It's just that there are quite a few types of military magic machines, which I don't think are suitable for His Royal Highness' personal guard. For example, naval battleships, I don't think His Royal Highness's private guard will need them, right? Even if they are army-type ships with high fixed points High-strength magic cannons are normally only used by large-scale armies, and His Royal Highness certainly doesn't need them. In addition..."

Xu Yi gave examples here one by one, while Baron Julian took out a pen and paper and recorded them one by one.

When Xu Yi finished speaking and stopped, Baron Julian counted the records on the paper, looked up and said: "President Xu, you just said that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce produced a total of thirty-nine types of military magic machines, which is not allowed here. There are twenty-three kinds of attacks that are suitable for the equipment of His Royal Highness’s personal guard, that is to say, there are 16 more suitable? Then I can place an order for the remaining 16 types of military magic machines on behalf of His Royal Highness. Won't you refuse?"

"Of course." Xu Yi shrugged. "The remaining sixteen kinds of military magic machines are very suitable for ordinary small groups to arm. His Royal Highness is willing to buy them, and of course I will not refuse. But before that, I have a question."

"Excuse me."

"His Royal Highness purchased a large amount of military equipment from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Will other people in the Candela Empire, especially His Majesty the other princes, have any objections?"

Baron Julian smiled unnaturally. Shaking his head, he said, "President Xu. This is not something you need to care about."

"Okay then. But there is one more question. How should we deliver the goods?" Xu Yi asked again.

Baron Julian pointed to the agreement on the investment and construction of the magic locomotive factory signed by both parties on the table, and smiled: "The so-called military magic machinery is also assembled from parts, isn't it?"

Xu Yi laughed, nodded and stopped asking.

After a few more discussions, Baron Julian stood up.

"President Xu, I know that you still have some concerns about our first cooperation, so His Royal Highness will not ask you too much this time. But I believe that after a while, you will I understand His Royal Highness's sincerity in cooperation. I hope that we can discuss the remaining twenty-three types of military magic machines by then."

"No problem." Xu Yi smiled and nodded.

Watching Baron Julian leave, Xu Yi couldn't help smiling.

The Candela Empire is really shy. They just want to buy some military magic machines. If you ask him directly, he will sell them.

Because before that, he has signed a military magic machinery sales agreement with the Maro Empire Army, and will sell 21 kinds of military magic machines to the Maro Empire Army. Same for sale.

As a result, the Candela Empire was not straightforward. On the contrary, they only obtained a promise to purchase a small amount of military magic machinery, which is far behind the military magic machinery obtained by the Maro Empire military.

certainly. Compared with the huge armies owned by the two empires, the part of the military magic machinery they purchased from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is definitely far from enough to provide what they need.

If there is no accident, the two empires definitely want to purchase some military magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then research and produce them by themselves.

This is of course a very understandable approach. After all, for the two empires, they would never allow such an important matter to be completely resolved by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This is tantamount to handing over the fate to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It is the most correct and suitable way to be able to research and master the production of military magic machinery by yourself.

For the two empires, this is their only choice.

Because compared to a small country like the Luerxun Kingdom, they are too big and big. Even if they really want to hand over the entire empire's army to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide military magic machinery, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone will It is also impossible to supply.

From a theoretical point of view, the two empires have extremely strong national power as a support. Among other things, the number and quality of magicians they have can completely crush the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It should be very easy to grasp the principle and prevent it easily.

Even relying on the deep foundations of the two empires, it is entirely possible to come from behind in the field of military magic machinery and overtake the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But in reality...

"Hey, the word copycat is easy to say, but hard to do." A slightly mocking smile flashed across Xu Yi's face. "And if you want to innovate on the basis of copycats...it will be even more difficult."

Any industrial technology on the earth is not achieved overnight. It is all based on a very solid theoretical and practical foundation, a little bit of experimentation, inference, and finally grinding out. There is no shortcut for the Jedi.

Even the so-called "cottage" that is criticized by many people in the celestial dynasty on earth is actually far from being as easy as most people imagine.

Because modern industry has extremely high requirements for any subtle place, even if you are given a complete sample, and even all the related technologies are handed over to you, but you want to imitate an exactly the same thing, That was also extremely difficult.

Although the magic industrial system currently mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not reach the advanced level of those modern industries on the earth, the countries on the Sains Continent that have no industrial foundation at all, and do not even have the concept of "industry" Just thinking about copycats is tantamount to nonsense.

"When these guys suffer, they will naturally beg me obediently..."

Thinking of this, Xu Yi slightly smiled smugly. (To be continued..)
