Chapter 115 Breaking the Monopoly of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce

After learning the news of Magister Arista's departure, Xu Yi immediately found Magister Camilla.

"Grandpa, Magister Arista agreed?" Xu Yi asked expectantly.

"It's not that easy." Magister Camilla gave him a blank look. "He is a magister, and his every move attracts attention. How can he do whatever he wants?"

"That's not enough?" Xu Yi was immediately disappointed.

"It's not completely impossible." Magister Camilla shook her head. "Although Arista didn't say it clearly, I can see what he means. It shouldn't be a big problem to participate in this research, but if you want to ask him to help you with other things, it's basically impossible. Anyway, you don't want to I hope to buy him from the Maro Empire with 50,000 gold coins a year."

Xu Yi couldn't help laughing loudly: "Grandpa, you underestimate me, don't you? If you can buy a magister with 50,000 gold coins a year, then I will buy as much as I have."

"But you only gave me 10,000 gold coins a year." Magister Camilla rolled her eyes and said.

"This..." Xu Yi glanced at Magister Camilla, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you are another matter. You have a share in the entire chamber of commerce. As long as you like it, you can take as much as you want." Question. But you reminded me of one thing. The annual salary of 10,000 gold coins has not changed for many years. This is my negligence. Now you are a magister, and you still get such a small salary It’s really unreasonable. Um... how about this, let’s increase your annual salary to 50,000 gold coins, what do you think?”

Magister Camilla was taken aback. He quickly waved his hand: "I was just joking just now. Why do you give me so much money? I have everything in the chamber of commerce now, and it's useless to ask for money. You might as well use the money to do something else."

"This money can be regarded as advertising. Don't refuse." Xu Yi smiled.

"Advertisement? I said Xu Yi, don't think too much about it. Although Arista may agree to participate in the research, it is absolutely impossible for you to actually hire him to the chamber of commerce. You should do it as soon as possible. Give up this heart." Magister Camilla said seriously.

"I didn't expect to be able to hire the Arista magister, let alone other magisters, but this can send a signal to other magicians on the mainland. As long as you are willing to come to our new If you work at the Flying Chamber of Commerce, then our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to give you suitable remuneration. The higher the level, the higher the remuneration. In addition, according to the example of the Arista magister this time, I found that this new cooperation model is very feasible. .”

"What cooperation mode?"

"Grandpa. You should know that our chamber of commerce has been cooperating with the Great Mage Esenka, right?"

"Esenka?" Magistrate Camilla exhaled from his nose with a look of disdain. "This guy took so many gold coins and resources from our chamber of commerce, but he has researched some useless things. I advise you to stop working with him as soon as possible."

"We don't care about why he didn't research much. But I think this kind of cooperation model funded by our chamber of commerce and inviting other capable magicians to join in for joint research is still very good. For example, this time As long as Arista magister agrees, one more magister will participate in the research on the powerful power output, and the time spent will be much less. Are you right?"

Magister Camilla was silent for a moment, sighed softly, nodded and said: "That's right. It's better to have multiple people help than me to study alone. But Xu Yi, this will cause a very serious problem. Question. These research results should of course belong to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in theory. But if Arista handed over these research results to the Maro Empire or others, how can you stop him?"

Xu Yi smiled wryly and shook his head: "For now... there is no way."

"Then you still want to cooperate with them. Don't you just give up what we have worked so hard to research?" Magister Camilla shouted with eyes wide open.

"No, grandpa, you can't just see these possible disadvantages, but also the benefits that come from them." Xu Yi said seriously. "If we only rely on our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, many researches will progress slowly due to insufficient manpower. The powerful energy-efficient power output you are currently researching is one of them. Although cooperating with other magicians will risk leaking the results, we Now it is even more necessary for these results to appear. Do you think, in terms of the practical application of these magical research results, is there anyone on this continent who can compare with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

The magister Camilla fell silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, she nodded slightly.

"Okay, I admit that you are right. But Xu Yi, have you considered the consequences of helping other countries, especially big empires like the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire, quickly grasp the manufacturing of magic machinery after these achievements are leaked? "

"It was originally my goal to let other countries in the mainland join the ranks of the magic industry." Xu Yi smiled. "Of course, you don't need to worry that they will surpass our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Because it is not important to only master one or two technologies, what is important is the entire industrial system. Without a complete industrial system as support, they only have one or two technologies It doesn't affect anything at all."

Magister Camilla frowned and looked at Xu Yi: "Are you really so confident?"

"Of course." Xu Yi showed a confident smile. "If you don't believe me, the Kingdom of Sark will give you a good example."

In January 3792 in the continental calendar, the Sak Kingdom Military Magic Machinery Exhibition was officially held in Erama City, the largest city in the southeast of the Sak Kingdom.

After two months of laying the groundwork, the total number of people participating in this exhibition even exceeded 100,000. Thousands of representatives from countries and other forces were invited and requested to participate. Almost all the countries on the continent of Sainz have sent Representatives come.

The exhibition lasted for half a month before it came to an end.

Later, according to the official data announced by the Kingdom of Sark, at this exhibition, the Kingdom of Sark sold 13,000 magic cannons, with a total price of more than six million gold coins.

In addition, it also received orders related to various other military magic machines independently developed by the Sak Kingdom, involving a total amount of more than seven million gold coins.

For a small country like the Kingdom of Sark, this can be said to be an exceptionally successful product exhibition.

Therefore, in the official announcement of the Kingdom of Sark, this exhibition was highly praised, saying that the Kingdom of Sark fully demonstrated to everyone the strength of the Kingdom of Sark in the field of military magic machinery through this exhibition. A major breakthrough has also made Xinfei Chamber of Commerce no longer the sole manufacturer of military magic machinery, breaking the monopoly of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce...

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was directly pointed out between the lines in the announcement of the Sak Kingdom, and these military magic machines were originally directed at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so after the exhibition, everyone's eyes were focused on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. .

According to the normal situation, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will obviously give a positive response or even a direct counterattack.

But the fact is... the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not respond at all.

Neither the "Xinfei Magic Machinery Weekly" issued by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself nor the "Lampari Weekly", which has the closest relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and is now regarded as the chief newspaper of the Lampari Kingdom, has published any new news. Fly any comments from the Chamber of Commerce on the Magic Mechanics Exhibition in the Kingdom of Sark.

Similarly, in any other newspapers, there is no response from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to this matter.

It's as if... this incident never happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The strange attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has aroused the suspicion of countless people. Some people think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is unwilling to respond to this matter, while others think that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce feels the threat from the Sak Kingdom, so Unwilling, or even afraid to respond positively.

In some newspapers, there was even an argument like "Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's monopoly position is threatened, and they feel guilty!"

However, no matter what these newspapers reported, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still did not give any response, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.

As for Hogan, the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Maro Empire, who is far away in the north of the Maro Empire, he has no time to care about the rumors of chaos in these countries in the southwest of the mainland. He has been in a busy state for several months, and has almost no time to rest.

The first fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has returned to the Principality of Standing, and the task left to Hogan is to make all preparations for the upcoming magic industrial base before the ice thaws in the spring and the port is unsealed.

Among these preparations, the first to bear the brunt is the problem of manpower.

Half a month ago, Hogan received a letter from the headquarters of the chamber of commerce. In the letter, the chairman personally gave a reply to the question he mentioned earlier, expressing that he could accept Baron Franklin’s suggestion. Recruit workers of different races as manpower supplements.

In order to show support for Hogan, along with this letter, there are also five workers from different orc tribes sent by the chairman to belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

When negotiating with other races, it is obviously much more convenient to have the other party's same race by your side.

After receiving the letter from the president and the five orc workers sent by him, Hogan spent another half a month preparing before officially visiting the largest orc tribe in the north of the Maro Empire— —Wolf Werewolf Tribe. (To be continued..)
