"According to the statistics, of the thirty six provinces of the Kandla Empire, there are currently magic communication networks in all of them. The magic signal has already covered 83% of the Kandla Empire.
It can be said that the goal of 'being able to communicate in any place in the Kandla Empire' has been achieved … … "
"Wait … …" Xu Yi raised his hand to cut off Freya's report.
"Covering 83% of the area, which means that there are still 17% of the places that aren't covered by magic signals. How can this be considered 'being able to communicate in any place'?"
Freya couldn't help rolling her eyes. She immediately revealed a serious expression and said with a soft cough, "The places that aren't covered by magic signals are either because the terrain is complicated and we can't build a magic signal tower, or because there are various obstacles in the area and the construction has been delayed, or we can't even start at all."
After saying this, Freya paused and slightly knit her brows.
"It's very strange, why is there this kind of situation?
There are people who aren't willing to accept the coverage of the magic signal network?
Could it be that they don't think that being able to communicate is very convenient? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug and said with a bit of helplessness, "There's no other way. Even now, there are rumours among the people that the magic signal towers will control people's minds.
When we were building the magic signal towers, it wasn't just in the Kandla Empire that we met this kind of obstruction, we also met this kind of obstruction in other countries. "
"It can't be, right?
What era is it now, there are still people who believe in this kind of thing? "Freya's eyes opened wide as she revealed a look of disbelief.
"Remember, don't overestimate the understanding of normal people." Xu Yi honestly told Freya.
"They are very easily persuaded and deceived, so it isn't strange for them to believe this kind of baseless thing at all.
Other than this, I've seen many things that are even more unbelievable than this.
You'll know more in the future, so you won't be surprised. "
Freya tilted her head and thought for a while. She still couldn't accept it.
However, she knew that Xu Yi would not deceive her on such matters, so she did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, her heart skipped a beat as she asked, "Dad, according to what you said just now, are you saying that these people are being manipulated by someone with ulterior motives?"
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "I didn't say that.
You can investigate the truth yourself in the future. "
Freya snorted lightly. She knew that this was another test from her father.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore.
According to the data from various sources, the construction of the magic communication network within the Kandla Empire could be considered to have completed the initial project, and the coverage of the magic communication network had basically been achieved.
If our company continues to stay in the Kandla Empire, due to various factors, there aren't many things we can change. "
"So you feel that now is a very good time to let the Kandla Empire handle the construction and management of the magic communication network within the Kandla Empire themselves?" Xu Yi asked.
"From the perspective of profit, this is not the best time, but the worst time." Freya shook her head.
"After ten years of cooperation between our company and the Kandla Empire, the magic communication network within the Kandla Empire was finally completed. Now is the time to promote the magic communication network to the ordinary citizens of the Kandla Empire on a large scale. It is also the key period of growth for us to earn large amounts of profit through the magic communication network.
If we withdraw now, it will be the same as handing over the foreseeable and enormous profits to the Kandla Empire. "
Xu Yi revealed a smile of praise and nodded lightly. "That's right.
Then what do you mean by reporting to me now?
Could it be that you don't intend to agree to the Kandla Empire's request? "
Freya giggled. "I didn't agree to the Kandla Empire's request. I only told them that we can discuss it."
"So after serious consideration, how do you intend to discuss it with them?" Xu Yi continued to ask with a look of interest.
Freya coughed lightly and adjusted the expression on her face, putting on a serious expression.
"Sir Chairman, after serious consideration, I feel that our company can't just withdraw from the Kandla Empire's magic communication network. However, we can consider letting the Kandla Empire take care of the magic communication network."
"Mm, continue. Tell me your specific thoughts."
"As for the follow-up magic communication network, I've already explained it very clearly in my report.
Currently, the places where we can't set up the magic communication network are mostly because the terrain is too harsh, or because the local citizens are against it.
No matter how you look at it, if we continue, we will encounter great difficulties. Even if we invest a large amount of money and manpower, it will be very difficult to convert it into actual close combat.
If we hand this place over to the Kandla Empire, not only will our company be able to extricate itself, it will also be better for us to set up the magic communication network in these places. "
Freya revealed a sly smile.
"Since the Kandla Empire's people are against it, then let the Kandla Empire solve this problem. No matter how you look at it, it will be much easier than a foreign company like us interfering. Don't you think so?"
"From this point of view, that's right."
Xu Yi nodded and then asked, "But if you hand over the follow-up work to the Kandla Empire, it means that you've already agreed to the Kandla Empire's request to transfer the magic communication network technology to the Kandla Empire.
Do you understand the consequences of agreeing to this condition? "
"Of course, I understand." Freya said proudly.
"If we transfer the magic communication network technology to the Kandla Empire, it means that our company is opening up the technology in this area. It will definitely cause the other countries on the continent to react in the same way, and eventually, we will fully open up the technology."
"This means that other than our company, the other countries and companies will also have the ability to set up magic communication networks. Our company won't be able to control all the magic communication networks like now." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
"Do you know how big of an impact this will bring to our company?"
"Big of an impact?
I don't think so. "Freya smiled, her expression relaxed.
"Mr. President, many years ago, you've listed the construction of magical communication networks as a national infrastructure industry, just like the construction of roads. So, in fact, this thing should be promoted by the various countries on the continent, shouldn't it?"
"Then do you understand why I didn't open up the technology in this area and let the various countries on the continent promote it themselves?" Xu Yi asked again.
"It's very simple. First, none of the previous countries had the ability in this area. Second, they didn't have the corresponding determination."
"Then do you think it's possible now?"
"Of course.
After ten years of rapid development, almost all of the countries on the continent have made great progress in the magic industry.
For example, a large empire like the Kandla Empire already has a basic and complete magic industry system. They only need to obtain the corresponding technology, and they will be able to quickly grasp the method of setting up a magic communication network. "
"Then do you think that after they obtain the technology, they will properly promote it?"
"Of course they will be willing, and they will be more willing than when our company helped promote it. I am sure of this." Freya's expression was full of confidence.
"Why are you so sure?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Because of the profits." Freya immediately replied.
"I just said that with the widespread promotion of magic communication, the operation of the magic communication network will generate enormous profits.
If the Kandla Empire wants to obtain these profits, or even a part of it, they will have to take control of part or even all of the magic communication network. So they will definitely be more anxious than us. "
Xu Yi leaned back slightly on the sofa and looked at Freya with a smile. He was very satisfied.
After Freya came into contact with the Kandla Empire's diplomatic group, it only took her two days to analyze and consider the whole matter in depth. Although there was a lot of help from the higher-ups of the company, it was enough to fully demonstrate her outstanding ability.
If she was really willing to settle down and decide to take over the position of president, then with her intelligence, after a period of training, she would definitely be a very suitable candidate.
The only pity was that she was still unable to settle down, causing many people in the company to be unable to completely let go of the stone in their hearts.
Of course, because Xu Yi had already agreed with Freya a few years ago that he would wait until she was twenty-five years old before asking her to make a decision, Xu Yi wouldn't rush her. He could only try his best to guide her and let her come in contact with the company's affairs, trying to cultivate her interest in this area.
Based on the results so far, she didn't particularly dislike dealing with these matters, but she wasn't very interested either.
If this matter of dealing with the Kandla Empire's request could pique her interest, then it would be very worth it.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi made a decision in his heart.
"Hmm … … Freya, your analysis is very reasonable, I have no objections.
Now, as the president of the New Flyer, I give you full authority to deal with this matter and the relevant follow-up.
As long as it's related to this matter, you don't need to ask for my opinion. Any decision you make will represent the New Flyer.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Freya blinked, but didn't reveal the excitement and joy of being entrusted with such an important task. Instead, she looked suspiciously at Xu Yi. After a long while, she snorted softly with a look of dissatisfaction.
"You know very well that just this matter alone is extremely troublesome to deal with. It won't be settled without a few months.
Moreover, the follow-up will be almost impossible to completely resolve. I'm afraid that it won't be resolved in ten years, or even a few decades.
You're clearly arranging things like this to firmly tie me down, right? "
Xu Yi spread out his hands, "I have no intention of restricting you.
If you don't want to deal with it, as long as you arrange the follow-up work, you can leave at any time.
Don't worry, I have no intention of using this matter to force you to be twenty-five years old. "
Freya rolled her eyes and suddenly revealed a smile.
"Alright, since you've given me full authority, if I cause any trouble, you can't scold me."
