Xu Yi looked at Freeman in surprise, "Why would you have this idea?"
Freeman rubbed his head and replied with a laugh, "Actually the reason is very simple, isn't making a complete machine more profitable than making parts ….."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, "Making a complete machine is harder than making parts.
You're doing well in making parts and I think you have a lot of prospects, so why do you suddenly want to change? "
Freeman looked at Xu Yi's disapproving expression and carefully asked, "That means ….. you don't approve of us making the Magic Fan?"
"This ….." Xu Yi seriously thought about it before shaking his head, "It's not that I don't approve of it.
After all, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce is your own company, so I can't make this decision for you.
But I must remind you that making a complete machine and making parts are two different things. Although your Ireland Chamber of Commerce's parts are quite good and your craftsmanship is quite good, there are many things you need to pay attention to for a complete machine and it has a high requirement for the technology. Are you really confident in making it? "
"I don't dare to say that I have 100% confidence." Freeman honestly shook his head.
Freeman honestly shook his head, "But we feel that we should give it a try.
What do you think? "
"If you really have made up your mind to give it a try, I will support you.
But if this new attempt fails, it is very likely that you will suffer a heavy loss. Do you have the confidence and mental preparation to suffer a large loss? "Xu Yi asked.
Freeman forcefully nodded, "Yes.
Everyone is very clear that if we want to make a complete machine, there will be many difficulties.
But if we don't even dare try, that would be too unreasonable.
So after discussing this, we've decided to try making a Magic Fan. "
Seeing the serious expression on Freeman's face, Xu Yi was silent for a bit before giving a slight nod, "Alright, since you've made your decision, I can't say anything else.
Speak, how do you need me to support you?
Do I give you all the technology for making the Magic Fan?
To be honest, I don't think that you can afford it because when the technology is transferred to the other companies in Banta City, it costs at least a hundred thousand gold coins.
With your current strength, it's not enough. "
"Yes, I understand.
But Chairman Xu, we are not planning on buying the Magic Fan production technology from you, we just want to buy the Magic Array related technology. "
"Oh?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"Although the Magic Array technology is the core technology of the Magic Fan, you can't make a Magic Fan with just this thing.
From what I can see, for the Magic Fan, the most important thing is the mechanical structure and external components other than the Magic Array. "
"We are confident that we can overcome all of this." Freeman said confidently.
"Our Ireland Chamber of Commerce has been in the component processing business for more than a year. Now, everyone is very confident in producing qualified components.
I won't say this, but we have already figured out the structure of the various Xinfei Brand Magic Fans. Everyone believes that as long as we work hard enough, we can even make a Magic Fan that is the same as the Xinfei Brand Magic Fan. "
"He, you really are confident."
Xu Yi said with a smile, "But Freeman, I feel that you're thinking too simply of this thing. Any magic machine is not as simple as being made from different components, there is also a lot of mechanical knowledge involved. If you can't grasp this, I'm afraid you'll meet many difficulties when making the Magic Fan."
"I know." Freeman was still filled with confidence.
Freeman was still confident, "But I and everyone want to give it a try.
Chairman Xu, are you willing to give us this chance? "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "Of course I'm willing.
To be honest, being able to hear this idea from your mouth, I'm very happy.
Actually I won't hide it from you, if it's possible, I hope that there will be more companies that have the courage to produce higher level magic machines like you because only like this can the magic machine industry develop even faster. "
"Really?"
Hearing Xu Yi agree, Freeman's face was filled with pleasant surprise. He grabbed Xu Yi's hand and forcefully shook it as he asked, "Then Chairman Xu, are you willing to give us the Magic Array technology for the Magic Fan?" After saying this, Freeman revealed a shy and awkward look.
"But ….. Chairman Xu, you know that our company doesn't have that much money, so can you ….. sell it to us at a cheaper price?"
"Alright." Xu Yi nodded.
"Since I've agreed, of course I won't make it hard for you." Xu Yi raised another finger.
"Ten thousand gold coins is the fee for our New Flyer to transfer the Magic Array technology to your Ireland Chamber of Commerce.
How about it?
Do you think this is acceptable? "
The worry on Freeman's face disappeared and he broke out in laughter.
"Yes, yes!
Of course!
It's only ten thousand gold coins, this is too cheap!
Chairman Xu, I won't hide it from you, our original estimate was ….. "Freeman suddenly stopped.
Seeing Freeman's expression, Xu Yi couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, "Didn't Kovac warn you not to tell me your bottom price?"
Freeman rubbed his hands in embarrassment. After hesitating a bit, he made his decision and said, "If it was up to me, that kid Kovac was thinking too much. What is there to hide in front of Chairman Xu?
Actually we estimated that we would need at least thirty thousand gold coins to get it.
I never thought that you would be this generous, only taking ten thousand gold coins from us, this really is too cheap! "
Xu Yi shook his head, "Ten thousand gold coins and thirty thousand gold coins, it doesn't make much of a difference to me.
But for you, the difference is too big.
Since I said that I hope that you can reach a higher level in your magic machine research, then I have to think for you.
If I let you save twenty thousand gold coins, you can invest this money into your research and avoid many detours. "
Freeman's expression was full of gratitude. He sighed with emotion, "Chairman Xu, I have to say that you are a great benefactor to me and my brothers.
If it wasn't for you, my brothers and I would still be ordinary farmers in Ireland Village. How could we have our own company and earn tens of thousands of gold coins every year? "
"Don't say anything unnecessary." Xu Yi waved his hand.
"Listen well, the technology can be transferred to you, but since you have already made up your mind to do other research, then don't expect me to help you in other areas.
This time, the Ireland Chamber of Commerce has to do it on your own, otherwise I will be completely disappointed in you. Do you understand what I mean? "
Freeman hurriedly nodded, "I understand.
Chairman Xu, you are also thinking for our long-term development. "
"Good, then this matter is settled." Xu Yi said.
"Make some preparations in the next two days and formally transfer the technology to our company. I will inform General Manager Kennard and Dean Evita and have them approve this application."
Freeman's face was full of gratitude. After pausing, he said, "Other than this, Chairman Xu, can you help us with something else?"
"Speak."
"That ….. We also want to recruit a few magicians ….. Can you ….. introduce a few to us?" Freeman asked a bit uneasily.
"This isn't a small favor." Xu Yi looked at Freeman with a gaze of deep meaning.
"Also, Freeman, it looks like your Ireland Chamber of Commerce is quite ambitious ….."
Freeman chuckled, tacitly agreeing to it.
"Alright, the magicians with real strength probably won't be willing to go to a small company like yours.
I'll give you a suggestion. Among the magicians who graduated from Baron Rickto Magic Academy this year, there might still be some who haven't found a job yet. You can give it a try. "
Freeman immediately understood and nodded with a smile on his face.
After eating lunch under Freeman's endless thanks, Xu Yi finally returned to the small building he and Stiel had been living in for a while. He found that Stiel had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Didn't you say you would be back for lunch?
Why are you only back now? "Stiel sniffed Xu Yi's body and smelled the scent of alcohol. She knit her brows and asked," What?
Who did you go drinking with? "
"After I got off the carriage, I bumped into chairman Freeman of the Ireland Chamber of Commerce. He took me to eat a meal and we talked about a few things."
Xu Yi gave a rough explanation and then casually asked about Stiel's trip to Anvilmar City.
"Overall it's pretty good."
Stiel pulled Xu Yi to sit down and slightly knit her brows as she replied, "The kingdom's parliament isn't too strict with the dwarves and elves when they get a work permit. They also completely agreed to let me be their representative. The New Moon Chamber of Commerce is the only company in the kingdom that has the right to act as a representative.
But there are many voices of opposition in the kingdom's parliament regarding the beastmen being hired as workers. "
"Oh?
What kind of opposition? "
"Basically they're worried about the beastmen's savage nature. Even if they're willing to work for a human company, if they reveal their true nature, it'll be very easy for them to harm the humans." Stiel said.
"Their worries aren't completely unreasonable, but they don't realize that the times are different now. They can't use the old ways to look at the problem."
Xu Yi sighed. After thinking for a bit, he asked Stiel, "I remember that Anvilmar City has a very famous song and dance troupe?
Or is it a drama troupe? "
Stiel felt very strange why Xu Yi would suddenly ask this question. She looked at him in confusion and replied, "It's the Morgana Opera Troupe. It's an opera troupe, not a song and dance troupe or drama troupe."
"Oh, opera, that's even better."
Xu Yi smiled and then asked, "Stiel, are you interested in opening your own opera troupe and surpass the Morgana Opera Troupe?"
Stiel was even more confused and asked back, "Why are you suddenly talking about opera troupes?
What do you want to say? "
Xu Yi laughed, "Nothing, I was just thinking that if you opened an opera troupe with humans, elves, dwarves, and all kinds of beastmen, and performed in front of the important people of Anvilmar City, wouldn't it make them less wary of other races?"
Stiel's eyes suddenly lit up.
