The conference wasn't officially held, so of course it was just some small talk that didn't have any meaning.
Xu Yi didn't have that much time to talk here. He didn't come to the Mana Magic Kingdom just to participate in this conference, he had something else to do.
So after sitting for a while and chatting with the other magicians, Xu Yi bid farewell and left.
The one who left with him was the High Grade Magician that the Mana Magic Kingdom had sent to organize this conference.
He was a high level member of the Mana Magic Kingdom's Sorcerers Guild and also a high level official of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
This kind of situation where a magician held two positions at the same time wouldn't appear in the other countries of the continent, but it was very normal in the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Other than being in charge of organizing this important conference, the most important thing was to receive the guests.
For someone like Xu Yi, who could be considered the most important guest, he was specially received by the king of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
Xu Yi had already contacted the Mana Magic Kingdom before coming, so they didn't need to waste any time.
After leaving the manor, the two got into a Magic Sedan that was prepared to receive guests and quickly headed to the south of Saussure City.
"Chairman Xu, the location of the new factory has been chosen and the foundation has been built. It will be by the Maya Heavenly River in the south of the city and there is a road that has been widened. After the products are produced in the future, it will be very convenient to transport them on land or water."
Sitting in the car, magician Van Horn who was in charge of receiving guests introduced their destination to Xu Yi.
"I don't doubt your side's abilities.
But ….. as for the future plans of this factory, I wonder if his majesty has thought it through? "
"This … …" Van Horn revealed a hesitant smile before replying, "His majesty and the lords of the parliament have been discussing this over the past few days, waiting for Chairman Xu to come before making the final decision."
"Is that so?"
Xu Yi softly asked back with a bit of disappointment in his heart.
The New Flyer and the Mana Magic Kingdom had already been in contact with each other for the heavy magic machine production base last year. It was hard to confirm this in the first half of this year, but they never thought that after half a year, they would only be building the foundation of a single factory. They didn't even know if the entire base would be established, so the efficiency was very low.
New Flyer agreeing to cooperate with the Mana Magic Kingdom and transferring large amounts of heavy magic machine technology was already Xu Yi's generous performance. However, the Mana Magic Kingdom didn't grasp this chance and kept delaying it, so how could Xu Yi not be disappointed.
Of course, Van Horn could see Xu Yi's expression. He quickly smiled and said, "In fact, His Majesty and the lords of the parliament have basically reached a consensus. Now, they just want to negotiate with you, Chairman Xu.
I ask Chairman Xu to be assured, since this base has already been planned, the kingdom will not give up halfway. "
Xu Yi gave a slight nod, not agreeing or disagreeing with this.
New Flyer had cooperated with the various countries of the continent over the years. Most of the countries were very enthusiastic about this project, but there were also some that weren't that enthusiastic.
There were many reasons for this, so Xu Yi naturally wouldn't care about them all.
After all, there were many countries, companies, and organizations that wanted to cooperate with New Flyer, so they didn't lack one or two. If he cared about them all, he would have been half dead from exhaustion.
But the Mana Magic Kingdom's project this time was different. This was a project that Xu Yi rarely proposed and was personally in charge of, so New Flyer attached great importance to this.
Even if the scale of this project wasn't that big, it was very rare to see a project of this level.
However, the Mana Magic Kingdom kept pushing and dragging, and didn't seem to be actively cooperating at all, which made Xu Yi a little unhappy.
The reason why he attached so much importance to this project was actually because of the importance of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
This country was famous for its magic, and the reason why it could become the third largest country after the two empires was because of the large number of Mages in the country.
Xu Yi was trying to change the way the Sines viewed and used magic, and the Mana Magic Kingdom was naturally a very important part of this. So he had always hoped to cooperate with the Mana Magic Kingdom and let them fully integrate into the magic industry.
But because of the "Peace of Mages Convention" that Xu Yi instigated, Mages were restricted from joining the army and the ability to participate in wars, so the Mana Magic Kingdom, which mainly relied on Mages, suffered the most losses.
If it wasn't for the New Flyer being able to suppress the situation on the continent, the Mana Magic Kingdom's national strength would have been greatly reduced because of this.
So for the New Flyer, the Mana Magic Kingdom's view had always been very complicated. They wanted to strengthen their national strength through cooperation with the New Flyer, but because of the New Flyer, many Mages in the Mana Magic Kingdom were resentful and unwilling to cooperate.
The New Flyer's promotion of the magic industry in other countries was very smooth, but in the Mana Magic Kingdom, they often hit a wall. Even the projects that were personally led by Xu Yi were difficult to progress smoothly.
"I plan to have an audience with His Majesty in two days, help me tell him." Xu Yi thought for a moment and said to Van Horn.
Van Horn immediately nodded, "His Majesty has long wanted to meet with Chairman Xu. He will be very happy to know that you are coming."
Xu Yi gave an un sound and didn't ask any more questions.
The Magic Sedan quickly drove the two of them down the smooth road and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the base Van Horn mentioned.
However, after getting out of the car, Xu Yi looked up and he couldn't help deeply knitting his brows.
The base Van Horn mentioned, when he looked over it, it was just a desolate primitive river!
Other than the piles of sand by the river and some people who seemed to be busy, this place could even be considered desolate. How could there be a base that was being built?
"This is the base you've been preparing for half a year?" Xu Yi looked at the scene in front of him and his voice turned cold.
Van Horn of course knew that this scene wouldn't satisfy Xu Yi. He wiped his sweat and pointed at the piles of sand in the distance as he explained, "The first magic machine workshop in the plan has already been laid. As long as we move fast, we can build it at the beginning of next year."
"As long as we move fast?" Xu Yi couldn't help giving a cold laugh.
The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce in the outside world always had the evaluation of "fast construction and good quality", but that was based on the fact that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had a large amount of manpower and magic machines.
But in this so-called base, other than a few people, there wasn't a single magic machine to be seen, so how could it be fast?
What made Xu Yi even more dissatisfied and angry was that even if the Mana Magic Kingdom didn't care that much about this project, since they knew that he was here to inspect it, they would at least give him a bit of face. Wouldn't they act like they were in full swing when he came?
But now the Mana Magic Kingdom wasn't even willing to give him a bit of face. Either they didn't have this idea at all or the Mana Magic Kingdom was arguing too fiercely about this matter, so no one was willing to give him a bit of face.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi gave a cold snort. He looked at Van Horn and said in a deep voice, "If your Mana Magic Kingdom isn't interested in this project, you can just say it.
Our New Flyer isn't a small company that asks people to do things for us. As long as you clearly state it, I promise that we won't meddle in this in the future. "
Hearing that Xu Yi was truly angry, Van Horn's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He quickly said with a smile, "Chairman Xu, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand!
Our kingdom is very willing to cooperate with your company, but there are some ….. ke ….. some obstacles in the kingdom.
Now that Chairman Xu is here, I believe that these small obstacles won't be a problem and can be easily solved. What do you think? "
"I hope it's like this."
Xu Yi waved his hand with a cold expression.
Since this so-called base wasn't worth seeing at all, Xu Yi was too lazy to stay here.
He looked at the construction site that was still slowly working and shook his head before turning to head back to the Magic Sedan.
After taking two steps, he suddenly heard a loud noise from behind him.
Turning back in surprise, he saw a group of people who came from who knew where. They charged into the construction site and were loudly beating the workers who were still working.
Xu Yi was stunned.
"What is going on here?"
Van Horn carefully looked at Xu Yi before saying with a forced smile, "It seems like someone is causing trouble … …"
"Nonsense, I can see it." Xu Yi glared at him. After looking at it for a bit, he found that something was strange.
Among the people who had rushed in to attack the workers, there were actually several magicians!
This made him very curious.
Although the status of magicians had dropped over the years and they weren't as high up as before, compared to normal people, magicians were still respected and their status was much higher than normal people.
Normal magicians wouldn't participate in this kind of beating and scolding of workers, it was beneath their status.
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and watched for a while. Van Horn on the side didn't make a sound, as if he was planning to sit and watch this happen.
Seeing Xu Yi turn over, Van Horn knew what he meant and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I don't care about this matter, so it's not convenient for me to meddle. I ask Chairman Xu for forgiveness."
Of course Xu Yi didn't believe him.
Since he was the one who brought him here to watch this play, how could he not have the right to meddle in this matter?
This meant that he was planning to sit and watch.
Xu Yi looked at the people causing trouble in the distance and knit his brows.
What was the Mana Magic Kingdom thinking?
What good would it do for them to act like they wanted to chase him away?
