Xu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the Marquess Of Southguard with a strange expression.
Sir Marquis' proposal seemed reasonable at first glance. New Flyer didn't need to care about anything, they just needed to allow the other party to hang their brand. There was no real loss at all.
However, if one really looked into it, it was exactly the same as those card sets that were hated by many manufacturers on Earth, or simply counterfeited brand names. The consequences could be big or small, but in short, there was no benefit to the counterfeited brand name.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn't answer, the Marquess Of Southguard seemed to have suddenly thought of something and added with a smile, "I forgot to say.
Chairman Xu, New Flyer can get 30% of the profits from the household magic machines produced like this. Do you think it's appropriate? "
Xu Yi blinked and slowly but firmly shook his head.
"No."
The Marquess Of Southguard was stunned.
He thought that by coming to discuss this with Xu Yi with good intentions and even taking the initiative to give 30% of the profits to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he was already giving Xu Yi face.
If it wasn't for New Flyer's great reputation in the entire continent and its strong influence in the Malor Empire, he wouldn't have even considered discussing with Xu Yi and would have already started production.
In the end, it was just the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's sign. Could it be that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would dare cause trouble for him?
He didn't expect Xu Yi to reject him so straightforwardly. He didn't even use a gentle tone. It could be said that he didn't leave any room for negotiation.
"Chairman Xu, what's wrong with this?" The Marquess Of Southguard asked with a frown.
"It's just hanging a New Flyer brand, it won't affect anything.
If you're afraid that the quality of the products we produce isn't good enough and will affect the reputation of New Flyer, then you can send people here to supervise the production and ensure the quality. "
Looking at the Marquess Of Southguard's disapproving expression, Xu Yi almost couldn't help but sneer.
This Marquis really had a good plan. Not only did he want to hang the New Flyer brand on his household magic machines so that he wouldn't have to worry about sales, he even wanted Xu Yi to take the initiative to send technicians to help him.
This way, the household magic machine factory under the Marquess Of Southguard 'name could produce products that were comparable to New Flyer's own products. At the same time, they could hang the New Flyer brand. It would definitely sell very well and the profits would definitely be considerable.
The price that Marquis Southgate had to pay was just 30% of the profits and the manpower that wasn't considered anything to him at all.
"No, Lord Marquis, that's impossible."
Thinking of this, Xu Yi's tone became even more firm when he answered, showing an expression that said there was no room for negotiation.
"Only the household magic machines that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has invested in can be branded with our Frestech Chamber of Commerce's brand, other similar products can't."
The Marquess Of Southguard frowned deeply, "You really can't?"
"You really can't."
The Marquess Of Southguard looked straight into Xu Yi's eyes. Xu Yi's gaze was also focused and didn't avoid it in the slightest.
After a while, the Marquess Of Southguard raised the corner of his mouth and laughed.
"Alright, since Chairman Xu doesn't agree, then forget it.
Hmm, now that I think about it, I was thinking too simply.
Chairman Xu, I hope you don't mind. "
Xu Yi also laughed, "It's nothing. Since we're all business partners, if you have any ideas, just say it.
Whether it succeeds or not, it won't affect our relationship, right? "
The Marquess Of Southguard nodded, "Yes, that's right. We still have a lot of business to do. If it doesn't work this time, there's always a next time."
Seeing the bright smile on Marquis Southgate's face, Xu Yi had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help giving a sigh in his heart.
The Marquess Of Southguard's sudden request was clearly a test.
In the end, Xu Yi didn't give him any room for negotiation, which of course would affect their relationship.
However, Xu Yi couldn't do anything. The Marquess Of Southguard's request had touched on one of his principles. He definitely couldn't agree.
Instead of being ambiguous and causing misunderstandings, it was better to be straightforward and lay out his bottom line. It was better to let the other party see the truth earlier.
"Right, Sir Marquis, last time you said that your private guards wanted to exchange for a batch of Magic Repeating Crossbows, right?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.
The Marquess Of Southguard glanced at Xu Yi and his expression changed. He nodded with a smile and replied, "That's right.
But last time you said that your chamber of commerce has greatly reduced the production of Magic Repeating Crossbows and is focusing on higher end military magic machines, so you can't supply them. "
"Yes, it was like that before.
But last month, the Lampari Kingdom's Northern Army changed their equipment and a batch of Magic Repeating Crossbows were eliminated.
If you want, I can use my connections in the Northern Army to transport a batch of Magic Repeating Crossbows to you. "Xu Yi said.
"Really?"
The Marquess Of Southguard's eyes lit up, but then he worriedly said, "Since they were eliminated ….. they wouldn't all be broken, right?"
"Only a small portion of them are broken. Most of them are still in good condition.
This is because this is just a normal change of equipment and not a true elimination. "Xu Yi explained.
"Oh?
That sounds pretty good.
Chairman Xu, can you really get some for me? "
"As long as Sir Marquis really needs it, you can leave it to me." Xu Yi said with a serious expression.
The Marquess Of Southguard pondered for a bit and then nodded with a serious expression, "Alright, I'll leave it to Chairman Xu."
The two looked at each other and then smiled at the same time.
The Marquess Of Southguard was very clear that Xu Yi suddenly mentioned this matter because he had rejected his request and wanted to make up for it in other ways.
In reality, if it was just a batch of Magic Repeating Crossbows, it wasn't that important, but the attitude that Xu Yi expressed through this matter made the Marquess Of Southguard very satisfied.
This meant that Xu Yi still wanted to maintain a good relationship with him and as long as this was confirmed, a small setback didn't count for anything.
In the next three days, Xu Yi stayed in the Marquess Of Southguard 'private territory. Through his relationship with the Marquess Of Southguard, he met with the other large nobles of the Malor Empire that had contact with the New Flyer before.
Including Duke Marquis who had the best personal relationship with the Marquess Of Southguard, there were a total of seventeen large nobles of the Malor Empire with the title of Marquis and seventy six small nobles with the title of Count and Count that signed a letter of intent with the New Flyer to set up a Magic Communication Network.
After this, they would make a final decision based on the situation of the New Flyer setting up a Magic Communication Network in the Marquess Of Southguard 'private territory. They would decide if they would set up a Magic Communication Network in their own territory.
The private territories of these nobles were all in the same province and they weren't that far from each other. Adding them all together, they took up a quarter of the entire province.
Akali and the group she led had already made detailed calculations on these private territories before. In the end, they came to a conclusion that if they could set up a Magic Communication Network in the private territories of these nobles, with the magic signal towers that had a maximum transmission range of eight kilometers, the range of the magic signal wouldn't just be a quarter of the province, it would be close to half of it!
Then they just needed to set up some magic signal towers in the middle of the nobles' private territories to connect to them. That way, they would be able to send magic signals through the private territories of these nobles, allowing them to talk to each other through the Magic Communication Network at any time.
Once this goal was reached, the coverage of the Magic Communication Network would be over half of the province and it wouldn't be far from covering the entire province.
Of course, the reason why these nobles actively chose to set up a Magic Communication Network, other than the Marquess Of Southguard taking the first step, the most important reason was that the New Flyer had reached an agreement with the high level of the Malor Empire. They had decided to try and promote the Magic Communication Network in the Malor Empire.
The Marquess Of Southguard 'private territory was chosen as a test. As for the other nobles who participated, some of them were persuaded by the Marquess Of Southguard and some of them took the initiative to join.
It was different from several years ago. With the strong promotion of the New Flyer, most of the countries and people of the Sines recognized the use of the Magic Communication Network. They didn't treat it as an evil Magic Tower that could control people's hearts like it was thousands of years ago.
So even if the New Flyer didn't say anything, there were still many people who were willing to try this legendary device that could allow you to talk to people who were far away.
According to the initial plan, after the Magic Communication Network was set up in the private territories of these nobles, if the Malor Empire was satisfied with the results, they would spread it through the entire province. The final goal was to have the Magic Communication Network cover the entire Malor Empire.
For Xu Yi, his first goal was to develop the Magic Communication Network in the Malor Empire and the Falk Kingdom at the same time. Then he would connect the two countries' Magic Communication Networks together and connect it to the Drake Duchy's Magic Communication Network.
Finally, he would be able to integrate the New Flyer's Magic Communication Network in the Principality of Constantine, the Lampari Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Ruhr.
If he could achieve this goal, these countries would be able to communicate with each other without any hindrance, which would bring great convenience.
For example, for Xu Yi, at least he didn't need to make a trip to the Malor Empire that was over three thousand kilometers away.
If he had that much time, he might as well stay at home with his children … …
