Xu Yi quickly threw away his guesses.
First the Sarank Chamber of Commerce had been established for close to a hundred years. They had gone from a small company in Banta City to a first class company in Banta City, even having a place in the Lampari Kingdom. This kind of company didn't need to risk betraying the Lampari Kingdom by selling New Flyer's secrets to the Sack Kingdom, there were no benefits for them at all.
Second, even if the Sarank Chamber of Commerce had this idea, they didn't have the ability.
Since the matter with Rem, the New Flyer's protection of their technology had reached a very strict level. Without being tested, people who were truly trusted wouldn't be able to touch this information at all.
Instead of believing that the Sarank Chamber of Commerce could send spies into the New Flyer to steal the information, it was better to believe that the core researchers of the New Flyer had betrayed the New Flyer.
The number of people in the New Flyer that could touch this research could be counted on a single hand. They were the Academy of Magic's chief Evita, the special grade researcher Great Magician Camilla, the magic machine development center's manager dwarf Camby, and Xu Yi himself.
Xu Yi didn't believe that Evita, Great Magician Camilla, and Camby would betray the company. Then the Sack Kingdom being able to make a Magic Trebuchet, the biggest possibility was that they had obtained the information on the Magic Trebuchet from other channels and used it to imitate it.
As for this channel ….. Xu Yi didn't say it in front of major MacConley, but he was actually suspecting the northern army and even the army headquarters.
"Hey, chairman Xu, do you need to consider it for this long?"
Seeing that Xu Yi had strangely fallen into deep thought after hearing his question, chairman Rank couldn't help asking this in a confused voice.
"Ah?
Oh ….. "Xu Yi reacted and said with a smile," Of course I'm interested, but chairman Rank, I wonder if your business with the Sack Kingdom is safe?
If we send a large batch of goods to the Sack Kingdom and they find an excuse to stop us, wouldn't we suffer a large loss? "
President Rank laughed and said, "Don't worry, I haven't been doing this business for a day or two. Besides our Sarank Chamber of Commerce, there are many other chambers of commerce in the kingdom that are doing this. We aren't the only one.
Actually, the Sack Kingdom has a large demand for magic machines, so the people on the other side have asked me for this many times.
If it wasn't inconvenient, the people on the other side would have personally contacted you. "
"Un, I understand." Xu Yi nodded. He thought for a bit before saying, "Alright, give me some time to consider it.
After I come back from Sowell City, I'll give you an answer.
"Alright."
Chairman Rank gave a slight nod before asking, "Speaking of this, your Frestech Chamber of Commerce investing in Sowell City should be for Count Sean, right?"
"Of course.
Samo Count is the City Lord of Sowell City, he has always supported our New Flyer. Now that he wants to develop Sowell City, he needs our New Flyer's investment, so of course I can't reject him. "
Chairman Rank was silent for a bit before asking, "Sowell City isn't far from the Sack Kingdom, so if you're willing to trade with the Sack Kingdom, it's more convenient to go through Sowell City.
Chairman Xu, you can discuss this matter with Samo Count when you see him. I think that sir Count will support this. "
"I will."
After the initial discussion, Xu Yi found that there was no meaning in staying at this banquet, so he found an excuse to leave.
When he came back, he found that there were two medium sized Magic Cars carrying the beastmen girls of the New Moon Troupe back.
Xu Yi had agreed to attend the banquet of the West Hack Kingdom's embassy tonight. He had also had Hannas arrange for the beastmen girls to attend a banquet that Hannas had specially held. The goal was to let the New Moon Troupe become famous among the nobles of Anvilmar City.
However, based on the unhappy looks on the faces of the beastmen girls, it seemed like this arrangement had failed.
Xu Yi looked at Hannas who came out of the first medium sized Magic Car with a confused look.
"What is going on?"
Hannas had an awkward and ashamed look. He gave a sigh and shook his head before pointing at the door.
"Let's go in first."
After telling manager Ram to bring the beastmen girls to rest, Xu Yi and Hannas entered Xu Yi's private room.
Seeing Xu Yi's doubtful look, Hannas gave a bitter laugh.
"Xu Yi, sorry, I'm afraid I've messed up tonight."
Xu Yi knit his brows, "What is going on?
Why did you say you messed up? "
"My original plan was to have the New Moon Troupe perform at my banquet, singing and dancing to liven things up.
I thought that with the dance and singing of these beastmen girls, as well as their beautiful faces, they would definitely be welcomed by the nobles … … "
"And the result?" Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
"I don't believe that the nobles of the city don't like these beastmen girls."
"They do like her, but … they like her too much." Hannas smiled bitterly.
Hannas said with a bitter smile, "After seeing the performance of the New Moon Troupe, there were several nobles who directly asked me to sell these beastmen girls to them."
"Sell?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"They are treating these beastmen girls as your slaves?"
"That's right."
Hannas said with a sigh, "You can't blame them for misunderstanding. After all, as long as beastmen girls appeared in our human world, they would only be slaves and there was no other possibility.
Moreover, these beastmen girls were so young and beautiful, so they all thought that I had gotten a group of beastmen slaves from somewhere. "
"And then?
How did you respond? "Xu Yi asked.
"Of course I refused." Hannas immediately replied.
"I told them that these beastmen girls were members of the New Moon Troupe and were not slaves.
Their job was to perform and dance, so they were no different from the other troupes in the city. "
"That explanation is very correct.
Then how did you mess it up? "
Hannas gave a cold snort and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"These fellows are really hopeless!
Although I explained it very clearly, they didn't care at all and even tried to touch these beastmen girls in front of me.
In the end, they angered me and I had a conflict with a few of the fiercest fellows. In the end, the banquet ended on a bad note, so naturally I messed it up. "
Xu Yi looked at Hannas with a bit of helplessness. He thought to himself that Hannas could be considered a newspaper tycoon in the Lampari Kingdom, so how could he still be so hot-blooded and impulsive?
However, in this matter, it couldn't be said that Hannas was wrong. Instead, he thought that Hannas had done a very good job.
As a noble of Anvilmar City, Hannas actually had a conflict with other nobles because of beastmen girls. This showed how much importance he placed on the matter Xu Yi gave him.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi patted Hannas' shoulder and sincerely said, "It's been hard on you. If it wasn't for helping me, you wouldn't have had a conflict with those nobles."
"Hmph, those fellows are really outrageous. Even if it wasn't for you and those beastmen girls, I still wouldn't be able to stand it!"
Seeing the righteous look on Hannas' face, Xu Yi laughed. After thinking about it, he said, "Speaking of this, this matter is also my fault.
Based on what you just said, I overestimated the quality of the nobles in the city. In the end, I made the New Moon Troupe go down the wrong path. "
"You mean that we aren't going down the high end path?
Then how will the New Moon Troupe quickly integrate into Anvilmar City? "Hannas asked in a surprised voice.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "We've actually overlooked a problem.
The goal of establishing the New Moon Troupe is to change the impression the people of the kingdom have of beastmen. So it doesn't matter if the beastmen girls aren't accepted by the nobles, as long as they are accepted by the majority of the people.
But on this point, we have a very large advantage. "
"What advantage?"
Xu Yi pointed at Hannas, "That is you."
"Me?" Hannas pointed at himself in a daze. His eyes turned and he reacted, clapping his hands together.
"That's right, I have the « Anvilmar Times » and the « Lampuri Weekly » under me, so I just need to advertise for them.
I say, Xu Yi, you must have thought of this from the beginning, so why didn't you let me advertise for them in the newspapers?
Could it be that you weren't willing to spend the money? "
"I've said it before, I overestimated the quality of the nobles in Anvilmar City." Xu Yi gave a shrug.
"It's a good thing that it's not too late to change.
Come, Hannas, I'll tell you what to do next.
The first step will be the public service performance … … "
… …
Half an hour later, Xu Yi stopped talking.
Hannas stared at Xu Yi in a daze for a while before slowly shaking his head. He said in a soft voice of praise, "Xu Yi, although I've experienced this many times, I still want to say, just how is your brain growing?
Why do you have so many strange ideas?
But ….. these ideas are all very useful! "
"This is called talent, you can't be jealous." Xu Yi revealed a proud smile.
"How about it?
Do you think this plan is feasible? "
"Of course it's feasible."
Hannas nodded, "I even suspect that you didn't care about the New Moon Troupe at first, otherwise you would have thought of such a great idea already."
"The New Moon Troupe is Stiel's after all, how can I casually interfere with her work?
Other than that, it's best if you help me hide this plan and say that it was your idea. I'm just throwing the New Moon Troupe to you, you'll do this, understand? "Xu Yi said.
Hannas was stunned, "Why?"
"Because this is a work that Stiel places great importance on, so I don't want her to know that I have too much of a use in it. This will affect her enthusiasm and ….. confidence, so I don't want that to happen."
Hannas looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes for a while before he couldn't help shaking his head and saying with a sigh, "Stiel is really lucky to have you as her husband.
If I was a girl, perhaps I would also fall in love with you. "
Xu Yi rolled his eyes, "Scram, damn gay!"
