"Sir Chairman, the representatives of the Fire Dragon Tribe are here." Under Barnett's lead, three slightly thin and short human men walked into the room.
Xu Yi glanced at the three and nodded slightly.
As early as in the report given by Barnett, the humans on the Demon Cloud Continent were generally short and thin due to the lack of food.
These three representatives were already considered tall in the Fire Dragon Tribe, but if Xu Yi stood up, their heads would at most be level with Xu Yi's nose.
"Hawacha." Xu Yi greeted the three with a smile.
This was the Fire Dragon Tribe's language that meant "hello" and "hello". Xu Yi had specifically asked Barnett about the Fire Dragon Tribe's language before, but it was impossible for him to completely learn it in such a short time. He could only barely grasp a few greetings.
However, to Xu Yi's surprise, after replying to Xu Yi with "hawacha", the leading man of the Fire Dragon Tribe opened his mouth and spoke fluent Sines common language.
"Respected Chairman Xu, it's an honor to meet you."
The young man smiled and even performed a standard Sines noble etiquette to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi looked at him in surprise and then looked at Barnett.
Barnett smiled and pointed at the young man and explained to Xu Yi, "Sir Chairman, the three of them are representatives specially selected by the Fire Dragon Tribe. They are all proficient in our Sines common language. You can communicate with them as you wish."
"Is that so?" Xu Yi looked at the three representatives in surprise.
This Fire Dragon Tribe was a human tribe that New Flyer accidentally discovered when they were expanding last year.
Because they were all humans, the New Flyer immediately paid special attention to the Fire Dragon Tribe after discovering them. They quickly established a cooperative relationship with the Fire Dragon Tribe and recruited a group of Fire Dragon Tribe members to work in the New Flyer.
Xu Yi didn't expect that in less than a year, the Fire Dragon Tribe would be able to send out three representatives who were proficient in the common language of the Sines. It was clear that they had put in a lot of effort for the New Flyer.
"Since all of you know how to speak the common language of Sines, that makes things much easier." Xu Yi smiled and nodded at the three of them.
"I wonder if you are familiar with the Sines's language other than the language?"
The three of them looked troubled. The young man named Gan Mo, who had just replied, shook his head.
"Our tribe didn't have any written language before, so it's very difficult for us to learn how to write again.
The three of us don't have any problems speaking, but writing and reading are a bit difficult. "
Seeing Xu Yi knit his brows, Gan Mo immediately said, "But we are all seriously studying and I can already recognize close to two hundred words. I believe that as long as I have some time, it won't be a problem for me to learn how to write."
"Not bad." Xu Yi looked at Gan Mo with a hint of admiration.
He knew how difficult it was for people who didn't have any foundation in writing to learn how to read and write. Gan Mo was able to master the common language of Sines in less than a year, and even learned close to two hundred words. Other than his talent in languages, the most important thing was that he worked hard.
"But if we don't know how to write, how are we going to sign a contract with you?" Xu Yi raised a question.
Gan Mo's eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. However, he shook his head and said, "Chairman Xu, as long as you're willing to help us, it doesn't matter even if we don't have a written contract."
After a pause, he continued, "And even if you break the contract, we don't have the ability to cause trouble for you, right?"
Xu Yi paused for a moment, then smiled.
"You've thought this through.
Since you know the result, will you still be willing to cooperate with us? "
"Of course!" Gan Mo nodded without hesitation.
"Chairman Xu, with your strength, you can force us to do anything, but you want to cooperate with us.
I don't know what you're thinking, but I know that there's no harm in cooperating with you. "
"Are you sure there's no harm?" Xu Yi looked at him with amusement.
Gan Mo looked at Xu Yi with a calm expression, "If you didn't appear, our Fire Dragon Tribe would have been wiped out by the goblins sooner or later.
Do you think we still need to worry about any harm in cooperating with you? "
Gan Mo said this as if it was only natural, and the expressions of his two companions didn't change at all. It was clear that this wasn't a surprise to them at all.
Xu Yi turned to look at Barnett.
Barnett coughed lightly and said, "Chairman, when the Chamber of Commerce's guards found the Fire Dragon Tribe last year, they were besieged by tens of thousands of goblins. If it wasn't for the guards' help, I'm afraid the Fire Dragon Tribe wouldn't exist now."
Xu Yi nodded and confirmed that Gan Mo's words were true.
He looked at the three short and thin natives of the Demon Cloud Continent in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
They were all humans, and the humans of the Sines had already become the masters of the Sines. They had established countless countries and had a very good civilization. However, because the natives of the Demon Cloud Continent were too weak, they were still stuck in such a backward civilization.
Even a mere siege of tens of thousands of goblins was enough to cause the extinction of a human tribe of more than two thousand people. It could be seen how difficult it was for these natives to survive on the Demon Cloud Continent.
However, Xu Yi was also very gratified.
Before this, he had been worried that the natives of the Demon Cloud Continent were backward in terms of civilization and intelligence. They were no different from primitive people.
But now, he found that in a small Fire Dragon Tribe, there was someone with a flexible and clear mind like Gan Mo.
If his two companions were close to his level, then the intelligence of the natives of the Fire Dragon Tribe should be something to look forward to.
Xu Yi needed to recruit a large number of people in the Demon Cloud Continent, and the main target would naturally be the natives here.
However, if these natives had low intelligence and couldn't be trained, then Xu Yi wouldn't let them drag him down into the Chamber of Commerce. This wouldn't help the New Flyer's development on the Demon Cloud Continent.
Now that he found out, he had more confidence in the Fire Dragon Tribe and the natives of the Demon Cloud Continent.
As long as these natives had normal intelligence, then after training, they could at least master some simple tasks and provide a lot of help to the New Flyer.
"Gan Mo, do you understand the content of our cooperation with your Fire Dragon Tribe?"
Gan Mo pondered for a moment and replied, "You need people to work for you, and we need you to provide protection for our tribe."
"Yes, that's it." Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction.
"As long as your Fire Dragon Tribe is willing to listen to our arrangements, then our Chamber of Commerce will guarantee your safety.
In addition, if you do well enough, I don't mind giving your tribe some extra help. "
Gan Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
He had worked in the New Flyer for more than half a year. In addition to mastering the Sines Common Language, he also had some rough understanding of the various mystical items controlled by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
He knew very well how powerful these humans who were said to have come from another continent were.
Their strength was not only reflected in the fact that they could easily repel goblins dozens of times their number, but also reflected in every detail of their lives.
In the past half a year, he had seen countless mystical items in the New Flyer base that he had never even dreamed of before. The effects of many of these items could even be called miracles!
If the New Flyer was willing to provide protection for the Fire Dragon Tribe, then the people of the tribe would no longer have to worry about the threat of the goblins. It was even more likely that they would have enough food and would no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold.
To be able to have these benefits was already a great benefit for the Fire Dragon Tribe.
Not to mention, this' Sir President 'in front of him had just said that he might provide some extra help.
If he could let the Fire Dragon Tribe have those mystical items, then Gan Mo felt that no matter what price he had to pay, it would be worth it!
Xu Yi could clearly see the hope and desire in Gan Mo's eyes.
Among the various races on the Magic Cloud Continent, the status of humans was far inferior to the elves, dwarves, and gnomes.
On the other hand, the elves, dwarves, and gnomes were always worried about the threat of the goblins, let alone these natives.
The appearance of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gave them the guarantee of survival and could even make them stronger. How could they not be filled with anticipation and desire for this?
Of course, Xu Yi did not want to teach them too much.
First, with their level of civilization, it would be difficult to grasp. Second, Xu Yi did not want these natives to become too powerful.
In the end, he needed these people to help the New Flyer expand, not to cause trouble for himself.
"Right, Gan Mo, you seem to be working at a construction site of our Chamber of Commerce, right?" Xu Yi asked again.
Gan Mo immediately nodded, "Yes."
"You don't have to do this work now.
The cooperation between our Chamber of Commerce and your Fire Dragon Tribe requires a middleman. You can take on this responsibility.
Also, I hope that you can be my special consultant. I need someone to ask about some things on the Magic Cloud Continent. "
Gan Mo did not completely understand Xu Yi's meaning. For example, he did not know what a 'consultant' was.
However, he was very clear that Xu Yi must have taken a fancy to him.
This was great news for him, so he did not hesitate at all. He directly knelt down and heavily kowtowed to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi was not used to this etiquette, but he did not avoid it. He only slightly frowned and calmly accepted this big bow.
If possible, he hoped that the natives of the Magic Cloud Continent would all be in awe of him.
Only this way would the development of the New Flyer go smoothly.
