"Chairman Xu, your industrial base really has opened my eyes.
If possible, I really want to move this place to our Kingdom of Ruhr without changing it at all. "
Newman looked at the clean and beautiful factories that were surrounded by greenery and he couldn't help giving another sigh of praise.
"Ha, ha, if chairman Newman is willing, how hard would it be to move it over?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
Xu Yi shook his head, "As long as your Rudson Kingdom agrees, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can invest in another industrial base that is actually very easy to do."
"Really?" Newman looked at Xu Yi in surprise.
"Chairman Xu, I'm not joking, I really want to move everything back here.
At least when we want to buy agricultural magic machines, we don't need to come all the way here. "
"I'm also not joking." Xu Yi revealed a faint smile.
"Chairman Newman, if our New Flyer invests in a factory in your Kingdom of Ruhr, can you give us a bit of preferential treatment?"
Hearing that Xu Yi really wasn't joking, Newman's expression became serious. He looked at Xu Yi for a bit before saying, "I think that his majesty will be very happy to hear this news.
After hearing my report on Banta City, his majesty has always wanted to import the magic machine technology of your New Flyer. If Chairman Xu is willing to satisfy his majesty, I think that his majesty will definitely give you preferential treatment that will satisfy you. I guarantee that your New Flyer's investment in our Kingdom of Ruhr will go smoothly. "
Xu Yi revealed a smile. This Newman seemed to be welcoming him on the surface, but it wasn't the same as what he said at all.
He only said that he wanted to invest in a factory in the Kingdom of Ruhr, but Newman directly said that he needed New Flyer's magic machine technology.
In theory, Xu Yi didn't feel that he couldn't agree to this because compared to having all the technology in the hands of a single New Flyer company, he hoped that all the companies in the Sines would have enough magic machine technology. This would allow the magic machine industry on the continent to soar, perfecting the magic machine industry as soon as possible.
Of course, he couldn't easily agree.
Whether it was considering the benefits of New Flyer, Banta City, or the benefits of the Lampari Kingdom, it was impossible for him to easily hand over this technology.
"As long as your country's king is willing to accept our investment in a factory, we will definitely consider it first." Xu Yi replied.
"Although there are many cities in the Lampari Kingdom that have invited our company to invest in factories, I have always wanted our New Flyer to become a first class company on the continent, so opening markets in other countries is something that we have to consider."
Hearing that Xu Yi didn't agree on the technology, Newman wasn't surprised. He revealed a smile and didn't keep asking.
This matter was very important, it definitely wasn't something that could be decided by a casual chat between the two of them.
It was enough to investigate Xu Yi's intentions through this visit. Being able to hear that Xu Yi was willing to invest in a factory in the Kingdom of Ruhr, Newman was already very satisfied.
Not mentioning anything else, if New Flyer could invest in an agricultural magic machine factory in the Kingdom of Ruhr, allowing the Kingdom of Ruhr to produce agricultural magic machines locally and not having to come all the way here to buy them, it would save quite a bit of time and effort. The most important thing was money.
Take the most important small Magic Harvester of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's agricultural magic machines. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's factory price was seventy gold coins per unit.
Although New Flyer promised to take care of the transportation from the Lampari Kingdom to the border, it was still several hundred kilometers from the border to the Kingdom of Ruhr's capital, Caraca City.
For such a long journey, even with the cheapest transportation method that Newman could think of, each small Magic Harvester would cost over a gold coin.
It wasn't much if it was just one unit, but if this number was multiplied by three hundred thousand, it was close to four hundred thousand gold coins that couldn't be ignored.
Even if the Kingdom of Ruhr's finances were much better than the Lampari Kingdom's, spending this much for no reason was something that Newman and the king weren't willing to see.
Not to mention that importing these agricultural magic machines from New Flyer was just the beginning.
When Newman returned to the Kingdom of Ruhr last time, Xu Yi had given him five of each kind of magic machine produced by New Flyer to bring back.
When Newman brought these samples back to the Kingdom of Ruhr, it immediately attracted the interest of countless people.
Newman was certain that once these magic machines were introduced in the Kingdom of Ruhr, they would be greatly welcomed.
When that time came, Newman didn't just need to consider the agricultural magic machines, he also needed to consider the other magic machines produced by New Flyer.
If each magic machine cost an extra gold coin to transport, that would be an astronomical figure.
So before coming this time, the king had given Newman a secret request. No matter what, he had to attract New Flyer to invest in a factory in the Kingdom of Ruhr. Of course, it would be even better if he could take all the magic machine production technology from New Flyer.
Before this, Newman had already bought the technology for the Magic Kettle and cement from New Flyer on behalf of the Rudson Chamber of Commerce.
Because they lacked the necessary materials and industrial base, the Rudson Chamber of Commerce couldn't produce the Magic Kettle for now even if they had it, but the cement production technology had already taken shape in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Now the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had three teams laying cement roads all over the Kingdom of Ruhr. The cement used was produced in the Kingdom of Ruhr and they didn't need to buy it from New Flyer that was over a thousand kilometers away.
Because of this, the royal treasury of the Kingdom of Ruhr that was responsible for laying the roads had saved over three hundred thousand gold coins.
Correspondingly, the roads in the Kingdom of Ruhr were being laid very quickly.
With the support of the royal treasury and the hard work of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's three teams, as well as the protection of the Kingdom of Ruhr's army, the Kingdom of Ruhr used less than four months to lay down over five hundred kilometers of roads.
One of the roads went from the capital Caraca City to the border between the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Lampari Kingdom, which was closest to Banta City.
At the same time, the hundred kilometer long road from Banta City to the border had been finished and it could be used by the end of the month.
This time, Newman traveled more than 800 kilometers from Caraca City to Falling Rain Valley by horse carriage. He thought that he was driving on the road, so it took him less than 3 days to complete the journey. He could travel more than 200 kilometers every day, which was more than twice as fast as before.
Moreover, the road was much more comfortable than before. Sitting in the horse carriage, because there weren't any bumps, Newman could even fall asleep in the carriage.
After experiencing this long journey that was countless times more comfortable than before, Newman had great trust in New Flyer, or rather in Xu Yi's abilities. He also had a strong interest and desire for the New Flyer's magic machines.
However, Xu Yi was very strict when it came to transferring technology, not revealing anything at all, so Newman was helpless.
But he didn't despair because of this. Based on how Xu Yi had transferred the technology for the Magic Fan, the Magic Kettle, and even the cement, Xu Yi wasn't like the other companies on the continent. He wouldn't reveal his exclusive technology and would reveal it to others.
Newman believed that as long as he had enough patience, Xu Yi would release the other magic machine related technology sooner or later.
So Newman wasn't in a rush. At this time, he felt that the most important thing was to maintain a good relationship between both sides.
When he was about to bring the topic back to the fifty thousand agricultural magic machines, there was a figure that charged out from the road in front of them.
Before Qurik could charge in front of Xu Yi, he was stopped by the guards following the two of them.
"Chairman Xu, I'm not looking for trouble."
Qurik quickly raised his hands and stopped moving. He shouted at Xu Yi, "I'm just here to apply for a job."
"Oh?" Xu Yi found this a bit funny as he looked at Qurik.
"I'm afraid I'm sorry, but I'm not in charge of recruiting people for the company right now. If you want to apply for a job, you can go to our company's human resources department to sign up for the test."
"But the job I want isn't open to the public yet. I came here after hearing big brother Cantona's recommendation." Qurik kept shouting.
"Cantona?"
Xu Yi looked over Qurik. After thinking about it, he waved his hand at a New Flyer staff member beside him and said a few words to him. That staff member walked over to Qurik and whispered a few words to him before bringing Qurik to the company's office in the center of the Falling Rain Valley.
Seeing Qurik follow that staff member into the valley while looking back, Newman couldn't help saying with a smile, "Chairman Xu, it seems like your New Flyer's job is very popular.
Are there people like this young man who are introduced to you by acquaintances every once in a while? "
Xu Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, "There's no other way, everyone seems to be focused on our company.
Actually, if we're talking about wages, our company's workers' wages aren't the highest in Banta City.
You should be clear that the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's workers in your Kingdom of Ruhr have the highest wage of over thirty gold coins a month. "
"It's different.
Those workers are leaving their homeland to work in another country.
If the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce doesn't give them enough wages as compensation, there definitely won't be that many people willing to go. "
Newman paused before saying, "Actually, I've suggested to chairman Cruz more than once that he should hire local workers in our Kingdom of Ruhr. Not only would it be more convenient, it would also save money, but he wouldn't accept my suggestion.
Chairman Xu, how about you help me persuade chairman Cruz? "
Xu Yi looked at Newman and revealed a faint smile. He thought that this suggestion of yours wasn't for the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, but rather to send people to the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to steal all the technology related to paving roads.
Chairman Cruz was such an astute person, how could he casually listen to this suggestion.
But Xu Yi thought about it and nodded to Newman, "Alright, I'll find a chance to persuade him."
Hearing that Xu Yi wasn't being perfunctory, Newman was filled with joy.
