Three days later, when Xu Yi left Anvilmar City, he had a detailed list of all magi of rank 6 and above who were registered in the Sorcerers Guild.
Xu Yi had wanted to get his hands on this list for a long time and had even made a request to President Palmes Eren. However, President Eren had rejected his request on the grounds of protecting the privacy of the magi registered in the Sorcerers Guild.
The list he had now was one that Anke Eren had copied down from the Sorcerers Guild's information room.
Strictly speaking, Xu Yi had suffered a loss by using an IOU worth ten thousand gold coins to exchange for this list. This was why Anke Eren had readily agreed to Xu Yi's request because he felt that even if Xu Yi got his hands on this list, he wouldn't be able to do anything and there wouldn't be any problems.
However, to Xu Yi, this list was very important.
New Flyer's future development required a large number of magi to join, especially those of higher ranks.
Since Great Magi were out of the question, Xu Yi's goal was to recruit magi of rank 6 and above.
With this information, he could use the personal situations of these High Grade Magicians to invite the magicians that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce needed the most right now.
The list stated that there were less than five hundred magi of rank 6 and above registered in the Lampari Kingdom's Sorcerers Guild, including Xu Yi.
Compared to the ten thousand magi registered in the Sorcerers Guild, this undoubtedly showed that the world of magi was more like a pyramid.
Xu Yi's attention was mainly focused on those magi who were proficient in a certain type of magic, especially those who were proficient in wind magic.
Currently, New Flyer's research was mostly based on wind magic and only a small part involved the other three types of magic.
But according to Xu Yi's development plan, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's research not only needed large amounts of Wind Magic, they also needed the other three types of magic.
Even if the researchers of the Academy of Magic had decent magic power and were already used to studying magic machines, just relying on these researchers was far from being able to satisfy Xu Yi's requirements.
With this list, he wanted to recruit more magicians into the Academy of Magic with rich conditions.
As for how to do this, he could only slowly study it when he returned to Banta City.
Thinking of Anke Eren's sigh of relief when he gave this list to him and received the IOU, Xu Yi couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
This fellow thought that everything would be fine if he received the IOU, he really was too naive.
"Chairman Xu, do you also think that my suggestion is feasible?"
Newman sitting in the horse carriage saw Xu Yi suddenly revealed a smile, thinking that he agreed to what he had just said.
"Oh, of course it's feasible." Xu Yi quickly nodded.
"Building a road from Banta City to the border between our two countries will be very helpful in strengthening the connection between Banta City and your Kingdom of Ruhr.
When the road connecting Banta City and Anvilmar City is finished, it will strengthen the connection between our two countries and strengthen the alliance between our two countries. "
Newman said with a laugh, "Chairman Xu is right.
The road is just too convenient. As long as the road is finished, it will take less than two days to go from Anvilmar City to the border between our two countries. Compared to before, it would take four or five days, it is much more convenient.
But Chairman Xu, just building a road on your side isn't enough to completely improve it. Our Kingdom of Ruhr also needs to build a road, don't you think? "
"Your Kingdom of Ruhr also wants to build a road?"
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Newman. This fellow had been beating around the bush for a while and he was finally talking about the main topic.
This morning, when Xu Yi's group left Anvilmar City with the New Flyer's group, Newman, Anklo, and Hannas had appeared out of nowhere, saying that they wanted to hitch a ride with Xu Yi to Banta City.
Hannas said that he wanted to go to Banta City to see if there were any changes in Banta City in the past few months. Anklo and Newman's reason was that they were going back to the Principality of Constantine and the Kingdom of Ruhr, so they wanted to go with Xu Yi to Banta City before returning to their countries.
If they wanted to set off from Anvilmar City, whether it was going back to the Principality of Constantine or the Kingdom of Ruhr, they would have to take a detour through Banta City. So it was clear that these two fellows had something to discuss with Xu Yi.
As expected, once they got in the horse carriage, Newman began chatting with Xu Yi, finally revealing his goal.
Hearing Xu Yi's question, Newman said with a smile, "Of course.
When I came to Anvilmar City this time, I personally experienced the benefits of the roads.
I believe that as long as one has eyes and a brain, they will be able to see the benefits of the roads.
Since it's like this, our Kingdom of Ruhr is naturally planning on building our own roads. "
"Since you understand the roads, you should know that the one in charge of building the roads isn't our New Flyer, but rather the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
Why did you look for me and not the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce? "Xu Yi asked in a confused voice.
Newman spread his hands and helplessly said, "I looked for them before.
But the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's chairman said that their company's work is too heavy, so they don't have time to come to our Kingdom of Ruhr to help build roads. "
"Yes, chairman Cruz is right.
Just based on what I know, their company has close to ten roads with a total of over a thousand kilometers of roads that need to be built.
With their company's current construction team, they don't have the manpower to go to your Kingdom of Ruhr. "Xu Yi nodded.
"That's why I came with you, Chairman Xu. I want to ask Chairman Xu to come with me to see chairman Cruz and plead with him.
I heard that Chairman Xu and chairman Cruz have a very good relationship. I think that if Chairman Xu is willing to come forward, chairman Cruz will give you some face. "Newman said.
Xu Yi laughed involuntarily, "I'm afraid that's not right.
Even if chairman Cruz and I have a good relationship, we don't have enough manpower. I can't make it appear for him. "
"We have plenty of people in the Kingdom of Ruhr. That's not a problem. The problem is the technology and the construction materials needed to build roads."
Newman smiled, "Chairman Cruz has already promised me that he can teach us the basic road construction technology. But in terms of construction materials, especially the most important cement … It depends on Chairman Xu."
When Xu Yi heard the word "cement", he suddenly realized.
Newman took a big detour and even dragged chairman Cruz into this. In fact, his main purpose was to ask him to provide them with the cement manufacturing technology.
Looking at Newman's hopeful face, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He was certain that the demand for the cement manufacturing technology was not only from Newman, but also from chairman Cruz's wishes.
He could understand chairman Cruz's wishes. After all, no one wanted their company's most important technology to be completely controlled by another company.
But Xu Yi still couldn't help but sigh. The businessmen in the Sines were limited by the level of technology, especially the limitations of transportation methods, so their vision and knowledge were still somewhat narrow.
On earth, there had never been a construction company that had to master the cement manufacturing technology at the same time.
Because it was completely unnecessary. If they wanted cement, they could just buy it. Why bother to produce it themselves?
Of course, currently, there was only one cement factory in the Sines, which was New Flyer. It was normal for chairman Cruz to be worried about this situation.
However, Xu Yi thought for a while and replied, "Okay, I support the idea of the Kingdom of Ruhr building their own roads.
But our New Flyer and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce have an agreement that all the cement produced will be provided to the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce first.
If you can convince chairman Cruz to sell it to you, I have no objections. "
Hearing this answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in Newman's eyes. He thought for a while and directly asked, "It's too troublesome to buy cement from New Flyer and ship it back to the Kingdom of Ruhr. I'm afraid we won't be willing to accept the shipping cost.
Since that's the case, Chairman Xu, why don't you just sell the cement manufacturing technology to us. It's a good thing for both of us, what do you think? "
Xu Yi was silent for a while and didn't express his opinion. Anklo, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Chairman Xu, I welcome your New Flyer to invest in a cement factory in the Principality of Constantine.
We also need to build roads in the Principality of Constantine, but we definitely can't afford the manufacturing technology, nor do we need to buy it.
As long as your company can build a cement factory in our Principality, it's fine as long as you can produce cement locally for use. "
Newman frowned slightly and glanced at Anklo with a trace of hatred in his eyes.
If this guy didn't speak, he could continue to persuade Xu Yi. But now that Anklo proposed such a solution, how could he say that he wanted to buy the technology?
But thinking about it, he suddenly thought that as long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce invested in a factory in his country, this factory would be under his country's jurisdiction. It would be easy to obtain anything from this factory.
With that thought in mind, Newman's disdain toward Anklo turned into admiration.
This rough-skinned fellow who looked like a farmer might look honest, but in fact, he was very good at scheming.
Compared to selling the technology directly, Xu Yi would be more willing to agree with Anklo's proposal.
But to Newman's surprise, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Okay, it's indeed more convenient to sell the cement manufacturing technology to you.
But how much are you willing to pay, chairman Newman? "
Newman and Anklo didn't expect Xu Yi to agree to their request so easily. For a moment, both of them were stunned.
