"Chairman Xu, come, please drink a cup of our specialty fruit juice, it'll make you feel more comfortable than drinking wine."
When Swain Wein smiled, his two small eyes were instantly squeezed in by the fat on his face. Not a single bit of his eyes could be seen.
Xu Yi raised his cup to signal him and Anklo. He drank the juice that was a bit like mango juice in a single gulp.
Compared to drinking wine, he actually liked drinking fruit juice at banquets.
Drinking wine made people feel dizzy, so Xu Yi who always wanted to be rational and clear minded didn't like drinking wine.
When he put down the cup, the young maid kneeling beside Xu Yi filled the cup again.
Looking at the pieces of cloth that couldn't even cover the important parts of this young maid's body, Xu Yi couldn't help secretly shaking his head.
The Principality of Constantine was poor, but that was only for normal people. For a large noble like head Wein who controlled a large part of the northern part of the duchy, he could still live a luxurious life.
Even compared to the nobles of the Lampari Kingdom, his life was even more extravagant.
Although the nobles of the Lampuri Kingdom had messy private lives, they rarely allowed underage girls to entertain guests in this kind of almost naked position.
"Chairman Xu, for an honoured guest like you to come here, it really is my honour. Come, let's drink another cup." Head Wein raised his cup again with a smile.
When Xu Yi finished drinking, head Wein's little eyes turned and looked at Anklo before saying to Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, I've heard sir Anklo say that you came to our Principality of Constantine this time to invest in our duchy?"
Xu Yi was a bit surprised that he got to the main topic this quickly. After thinking for a bit, he replied with a nod, "Yes."
"Then Chairman Xu, on your way here, do you feel that our Wein City is worth investing in?" Head Wein asked.
"This fellow is quite direct." Xu Yi said with a faint smile, "Head Wein, I'm afraid I can't answer you for now.
But based on what I've seen, there is a lot of potential for investment here.
If there is a chance in the future, I hope to invest here. "
This sounded like polite words, but it was Xu Yi's heartfelt words.
Just based on the rich natural resources he saw on the way here, there was a chance to earn money if he invested here.
The biggest obstacle was the people here.
If he wanted to invest here, he had to hire local workers.
But based on what Xu Yi had seen, he didn't trust the local workers.
Head Wein didn't take Xu Yi's words as polite words. Instead, he asked, "Chairman Xu, if you really want to invest here, what do you plan to do?"
Anklo also put down his cup and listened attentively. Xu Yi thought for a bit and said, "For now, I hope to build a canned fruit factory and a rubber processing factory here.
As for the others … I don't have any ideas yet. I need to investigate further. "
"Canned fruit factory?
Rubber processing factory? "
Head Wein and Anklo looked at each other and couldn't help but ask, "I know about rubber, but what is canned fruit?"
"Uhh … Simply put, it's cutting the fruit into pieces and mixing the juice into a sealed glass bottle or tin can.
The good thing about canned fruit is that it can keep the original taste fresh for a long time. After it's made, it can be sold to other countries on the continent. I think it will be popular. "Xu Yi said.
Both Head Wein and Anklo's eyes lit up.
"There's this method of preserving fruit?"
Head Wein was so excited that the fat on his face began to tremble as he kept asking, "Chairman Xu, if there is such a good method, then we can sell all the fruits here!
Seeing all the fruit rot in the ground each year, my heart really hurts!
Chairman Xu, you have to build a canned fruit factory here!
No matter what you want, I'll agree to it! "
Anklo gave a soft cough and stopped the excited head Wein from charging in front of Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, can I ask, what does this rubber processing factory do?"
"Of course." Xu Yi replied with a faint smile.
"Mister Anklo, I think you should know that our New Flyer has a tire factory, right?"
"Yes, I know." Anklo nodded.
Anklo nodded, "When I was in Banta City, I found that all the horse carriages in Banta City had changed their tires.
I even sat in them and found that after changing the tires, not only did the horse carriages run much more smoothly, they also ran much faster.
Actually, I was planning on buying some tires when I came back, so I could change them into the horse carriages at home.
But there were too many things and I forgot about this matter. "
"It seems like you're very clear on the benefits of tires." Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
Anklo revealed a faint smile, "Our company's tires are made of a special material that is similar to rubber.
I didn't find rubber trees in the Lampari Kingdom before, so I used this special material.
Now that I've seen large amounts of rubber trees, I'm considering if I can use rubber to replace this special material. "
"Yes!
Of course!
Definitely! "Head Wein yelled before Anklo could say anything.
"Chairman Xu, you just need to open this rubber processing factory here. As long as you come, it will be the same as the canned fruit factory, I'll do whatever you need me to do!"
Anklo slightly knit his brows, feeling a bit uncomfortable with head Wein taking his position, but he didn't say anything. He just seriously watched Xu Yi's reaction.
Xu Yi didn't have any reaction, he just nodded with a faint smile, "Since head Wein is welcoming me this warmly, of course I won't waste your good intentions.
After meeting the duke with mister Anklo, if everything goes smoothly, I will seriously consider this matter. "
Although Xu Yi didn't give an affirmative answer, head Wein acted like Xu Yi had already agreed. He narrowed his eyes with a smile, looking quite funny.
Xu Yi's answer was watertight, so naturally Anklo didn't have any other opinions.
So this welcome banquet that wasn't considered luxurious ended in a happy atmosphere.
After dinner, the sky was already dark.
Xu Yi sat in the carriage for a day on the broken roads of the Principality of Constantine and was indeed tired. He said that he wanted to have a good rest and rejected head Wein and Anklo's invitation to a bonfire party outside Wein City.
When he was bathing, what was unexpected but also expected was that head Wein had sent two maids to help Xu Yi bathe.
Xu Yi was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after the two maids explained that it was the head's order and even said that if he didn't let them serve him, they would definitely be beaten to death by the head, Xu Yi's heart softened, but he could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Fortunately, the two maids seemed to have been trained and didn't touch Xu Yi when he was bathing. Otherwise, Xu Yi didn't know if he could control himself.
After the bath, the two maids naturally said that they wanted to serve him.
Xu Yi thought about it and agreed to their request to sleep with him.
Only when the two maids took off their clothes, they felt dizzy at the same time and fainted.
Xu Yi caught the two maids and placed them on the bed before covering them with the sheets. He nodded to Agnes who had suddenly appeared in the room and used the special spiritual magic of the elves to knock out the two maids, "Let's go."
Agnes looked at the two maids on the bed and hesitated a bit before asking, "Chairman, spiritual magic can only make them hallucinate, but it can't affect their bodies.
If you really intend to deceive the others, I suggest you exert some influence on their bodies as well. "
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, "How do I influence them?
Could it be that you want me to touch them?
What a joke. "
Agnes looked at Xu Yi and suddenly clapped her hands, "Oh, I remember now.
Chairman, you said last time that you humans have a sense of shame, so you don't like other people watching when you mate, right?
It's fine, I'm not a human. "
Xu Yi snappily looked at Agnes, "Us humans have a sense of shame, but don't you elves also have a sense of shame?
I don't believe that you elves like other people watching when you mate! "
Agnes seriously shook her head, "Us elves don't mate like you humans."
Xu Yi was stunned. This was his first time hearing this.
"Then how do you elves reproduce?
Moreover, I see that you elves also have a husband and wife relationship like us humans do. "
"The way we reproduce ….." Agnes tilted her head to think for a bit before shaking her head.
"I don't understand.
The elder said that I'm still young and I'm still at least a hundred years away from being able to reproduce. "
Xu Yi could only roll his eyes again, thinking that he had really eaten too much talking about this with an elf.
"Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense.
Just leave the two maids here, I didn't want to hide it from them anyway.
Agnes, how is your Shadow Concealment Technique going?
Can you guarantee you can bring me out? "
Agnes dejectedly replied, "It's not that good."
"What is not that good?
Do you have confidence in bringing me out? "Xu Yi kept asking.
"I should be able to bring you out of this manor." Agnes replied.
"Then it's fine.
Let's go. "
"Un."
Agnes gave an un sound and a weak green light flashed from her body, covering Xu Yi as well.
In an instant, the two of them disappeared from the room without a trace.
