Chapter 104: It's All About the Territory

Although the weather was a bit cold at this time, Harvey's forehead involuntarily oozes a few drops of cold sweat, he laughed dryly and said: "President Xu, with all due respect, without the support of His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department, would you like to It will be much more difficult to promote farmland magic machinery with the strength of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

"You..." Harvey suddenly changed his face.

Seeing that the two of them were about to become stiff, Sevigny, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up.

"President Xu, as you said just now, everyone is not a child, so don't talk nonsense." Sevigny stared at Xu Yi and said sternly: "It's pointless to argue, let's discuss the issue seriously. President Xu, you are not satisfied with the proposal that Harvey just put forward, that's fine, can you tell me your proposal now? I think you already had sufficient plans before you came to Anvilmar City. right?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly. He had long known that although Harvey had been talking to him, it was Sevigny who had the right to decide. Now Sevigny finally spoke, which proved that he finally had the opportunity to bargain with the other party. Chance.

"My proposal is not complicated. First of all, I will not, or to be precise, will not hand over the technology of the farmland magic machinery for the time being. Because to be honest, I don't trust you, and with your ability, even if you hand over It is difficult for you to master these technologies. So my idea is that our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will continue to produce farmland magic machines, and we can make various improvements and improvements in accordance with the requirements of the Agriculture Department to make these farmland magic machines more adaptable to different kingdoms. The terrain of the land. And the job of your Agriculture Department is very simple, you only need to be an intermediary to promote these farmland magic machines to all the nobles and ordinary farmers who have territories in the kingdom, and vigorously promote these farmland magic machines. For the nobles, agriculture The agency can force them to buy, and for ordinary farmers who do not have the ability to buy, they can continue to implement the farmer support plan of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In this way, I don’t think it will take too long. These farmland magic machines can be extended to the entire Kingdom, so that the utilization rate of farmland in the kingdom has been greatly increased in a short period of time."

Harvey's eyes widened, clearly disagreeing with Xu Yi's proposal, but Sevigny didn't speak. He just stared at Xu Yi and didn't speak.

After listening to Xu Yi's remarks, Sevigny was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "In this way, your New Flying Chamber of Commerce can earn a lot of gold coins from selling these farmland magic machines, right? You just said that you The chamber of commerce can earn one gold coin for every farmland magic machine sold. I don’t think that’s right? Multiplying this number by ten may be too little. If your chamber of commerce can really sell 10,000 farmland magic machines in the kingdom , your chamber of commerce will at least get a huge profit of more than 100,000 gold coins!"

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, dear Miss Sevigny, you guessed wrong. This number is not multiplied by ten, but by twenty. Even more."

Harvey couldn't help shouting: "That's more than 200,000 gold coins? God is above! Our Lampari Kingdom's tax revenue last year was less than 1 million gold coins!"

Sevigny glanced at Harvey, and Harvey suddenly realized that he had lost his words, smiled awkwardly, and turned his head.

Sevigny looked at Xu Yi again and nodded: "Such a huge profit. No wonder President Xu you don't agree with our proposal. But President Xu, if you keep maintaining this price, I am afraid that even with our help, you will not be able to. It is difficult to really spread it across the entire kingdom. Moreover, improving agricultural production is the most basic national policy of the kingdom. What you are doing is actually hindering this national policy. I don’t think I need to remind you of the consequences.”

The last sentence. Undoubtedly, it is a naked threat.

However, Xu Yi did not show any nervousness at all, still smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Miss Sevigny, I think you have misunderstood. I am 100% supportive of improving agricultural productivity. The farmer support plan will be launched, the purpose is to allow the farmers in Bangta City to enjoy the convenience brought by mechanized production earlier, so as to liberate them from the fields. It is precisely because of this that I decided to come to Anweima. Ercheng and the Agriculture Department are discussing cooperation. Otherwise, why don't I just stay in Bangta City and sell these magic machines slowly and at ease?"

Sevigny nodded lightly: "Yes, you can have such an idea. It proves that you are not an ordinary businessman with low vision. But President Xu, I still don't understand, why do you insist on selling farmland magic machinery? You Don't you know the price of a set of dozens of gold coins, even for some minor nobles, is it a big burden?"

"It's very simple, because of the laws of business. Since our New Flying Chamber of Commerce has already sold farmland magic machinery in Bangta City, and has already set a price, then if the same farmland magic machinery suddenly appears elsewhere, the price is lower. Dozens of gold coins, what do you think of the people who have bought these magic machines in Bangta City? How will our new flying merchants face them? So the price cannot be changed. But..."

Xu Yi suddenly changed the conversation.

"The price cannot be changed, but it does not mean that other places cannot change. Miss Sevigny, I hope that the tax office will revoke the tax deduction for the farmland magic machinery produced by our chamber of commerce, and at the same time let the agriculture department issue a document, every person who buys farmland magic power The users of the machinery can get some of the discounts provided by the Kingdom's Agricultural Administration based on the voucher. This discount can be directly funded, or it can be some agricultural tax relief, in short, these farmers can get some benefits and compensation. "

Sevigny frowned: "You have a good idea, but... the Agriculture Department doesn't actually have much money..."

"Money is not a problem." Xu Yi smiled. "We, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, can give out the money, and as for the name, we can just think of it."

Sevigny and Harvey were stunned.

"President Xu, you want to cancel the tax deduction for the farmland magic machinery, and you have to bear this expense, don't you plan to make money from the farmland magic machinery?" Sevigny said in surprise. "This is different from what you just said. If you really don't intend to make money, you might as well agree to Harvey's proposal."

"No no no, this is completely different." Xu Yi shook his head repeatedly. "If we follow Mr. Harvey's proposal, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and I will completely become vassals of the Agriculture Department, without any initiative at all. I can't accept this at all."

Sevigny couldn't help laughing.

Her smile is different from Steele's. If Steele's smile is as gorgeous as a rose blooming, then her smile will make people feel that a lotus flower is blooming slowly.

"President Xu is really not someone who is willing to live under people. That's good. President Xu, what do you want to get for such a huge profit?" Sevigny asked. "Don't tell me you're all for those ordinary farmers."

"Of course I'm not so noble." Xu Yi smiled and stretched out a finger. "I have only one request. That is a piece of territory that belongs to you."

At the beginning of the night, Anweimar City became more lively than during the day. People came out in twos and threes, wandering around the streets, bathing the whole city in a commotion.

It's just that when this commotion came to an extremely large courtyard in the west of the city, it seemed to be suddenly cut off by someone's hand, and it came to an abrupt end.

Pames Allen, president of the Magicians Guild of Lampari Kingdom, sat in the middle of the living room with a sullen face, holding a teacup in one hand, but didn't drink a single sip. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Feel the unpleasant mood of the master. The servants in the mansion were all trembling with fear. Not only did they speak in a very low voice, they even started walking, trying not to make any noise.

This huge courtyard is still lively on weekdays, but now it seems like a dead zone. Very quiet.

After a while, a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked to be less than forty years old came out of the inner room. When she saw Pames Allen, her eyes flushed and tears rolled down.

"Master, Anke is hurt so badly, you must avenge him!" The middle-aged beautiful woman pleaded in pain.

Pames Allen glanced at her. He snorted coldly and said, "What revenge? This kid is not good at his own skills. He wants to teach others a lesson, but he is turned away. Can we still find trouble with that person? If he can learn a lesson this time, he will also It's a help to him, so that he won't know that the sky is high and the earth will be taken care of sooner or later by someone."

Seeing that Pames? Allen did not listen to his plea. The middle-aged beautiful woman suddenly reluctant.

She has only one son, Anke Allen, who has been doted on since he was a child. Today, when he was beaten into a coma and carried back, he almost fainted from fright.

Pames Allen was upset by her crying and yelled at her impatiently. Drive her back to the inner room.

What happened at the assessment site today, the subordinates of the Magician Guild told him everything in detail.

No matter how you look at it, it was Anke Allen's fault. Even if Pames Allen doted on him like his wife, he couldn't say anything more.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he would definitely still want to speak out for his precious son, and he would have to let the guy who hurt his son have nothing to eat.

But the key is that the guy who injured his son is called Xu Yi.

Pames Allen was unfamiliar with this name. At first, he just thought that this guy should be hiding his strength. He clearly has the strength to injure his son, but he went to participate in some primary assessment.

But after inquiring and investigating, he found that this Xu Yi did not seem to be simple.

First of all, he is from Bangta City, and was specially recommended by the great magician Camilla to participate in the qualification certification examination of the magician's union.

Secondly, he traveled with Viscount Leslie, the eldest son of the Duke of Stag, from Bonta City to Anvilmar City, and is said to be closely related to Viscount Leslie.

Secondly, this Xu Yi's residence in the city of Anweimar is actually the other courtyard of the lord of Bangta City, Earl Satsuma.

And Xu Yi was not an official in Bangta City, just an ordinary businessman. His ability to live in this other courtyard could only prove that he had a good relationship with Earl Satsuma.

Finally, and most importantly, this guy will be summoned by His Majesty the King tomorrow!

Pames Allen couldn't help but tap his head with a headache.

If it is just an ordinary low-level magician, he has some way to clean up the other party to avenge his precious son, but now that Xu Yi is involved in so many big people who cannot be ignored, it must be handled with more caution.

Out of the prudence and suspicion of an old man who was about to be sixty years old, Pames Allen even suspected that Xu Yi was sent by one of his own enemies, deliberately injured Anke Allen, and then dug a A trap awaits him to jump.

As long as he dared to deal with this Xu Yi, he might suffer a powerful counterattack.

"Where did this guy named Xu Yi come from?" Pames Allen frowned, thinking for a long time, but had no clue at all.

A servant came in suddenly and hastily with a strange expression.

"Master, there is a guest asking to see you."

Pames Allen waved his hand angrily: "I'm not in the mood to see any guests now, let him go."

The servant did not leave in response, but hesitated for a while, then continued: "Master, he said his name is Xu Yi."

Pames Allen suddenly got up from the stool.

This Xu Yi actually came to the door by himself!
