City Lord Kamado had just left the Falling Star Manor in his private horse carriage when Seveni came out of the small room closest to the garden.
Coming to Xu Yi's side, looking at the horse carriage in the distance from the manor, Seveni slightly knit her brows and gave a sigh.
"He's actually riding a horse carriage, how can people believe that he really supports the development of the magic machine industry and supports your New Flyer?"
Xu Yi looked at Seveni with a bit of surprise.
"The angle you pay attention to really is strange ….. But regarding this, everyone in Banta City including me already knows this.
Although this Lord City Lord seems to be supporting us on the surface, the things he does are clearly targeting the magic machine industry, or more accurately, targeting our New Flyer. "
Seveni thought for a bit before asking, "He just said that he hopes your company can cooperate with the Kingdom's Academy of Magic, what is the specific method of cooperation?"
Xu Yi gave a cold laugh, "The Lord City Lord is representing his majesty King Eric to make this request to me. There are a bunch of conditions and a bunch of benefits for our company, but in summary, he wants our company to open up all the magic machine related technology to the kingdom's magic research facility."
"Fully open?" Seveni's eyes popped out in shock.
Seveni's eyes widened, "Big brother ….. Is he crazy?"
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "I don't know about this.
But during this time, City Lord Kamado has come looking for me many times and his tone has become more strict each time.
You also heard what he said just now, this Lord City Lord is already threatening me.
If I choose not to obey ….. Your highness, what do you think ….. will be waiting for me and the New Flyer? "
Seveni was silent for a bit before her expression gradually became serious.
"No!
I can't let big brother do this!
Not only is he breaking the basic rules of the kingdom, it will also seriously affect your company's confidence in the kingdom and it will greatly affect the royal family's reputation.
I must properly discuss this with big brother, I can't let him keep making this mistake! "
Xu Yi looked at Seveni who had a rare look of anger on her face and shook his head.
"No, Seveni, it's best you don't do that.
The moment you announced that you had completely given up the fight for the throne, you had already lost this qualification.
If you want to do that, it will arouse the suspicion of King Eric. That won't do you any good. "
"Then what should we do?
Could it be that you're planning on being forced to accept it? "Seveni tightly knit her brows as she looked at Xu Yi, suddenly shaking her head.
"No, Xu Yi, I know you. You're not the kind of person who would submit so easily.
That's why you chose to move New Flyer and your family to the Principality of Constantine. You want to give up the Lampari Kingdom, don't you? "
Xu Yi revealed a smile. He didn't admit it or deny it.
"Then, Your Highness … Now that you know all this, do you still intend to persuade me?"
Seveni fell silent again.
After a while, she shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I don't know ….. Let me give it a try. If big brother can listen to my persuasion and correct his mistakes, there is still hope, right?"
Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart and was too lazy to persuade Seveni.
Although Seveni came from the royal family, she always had a very naive aura that Xu Yi felt.
If Eric had listened to her advice and corrected his mistakes, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble now.
Actually in the end, there were many things that King Eric didn't want to do. In Xu Yi's eyes, he was just a pitiful puppet controlled by the large nobles of the kingdom.
Hearing the conversation between City Lord Kamado and Xu Yi, seeing that Banta City's situation wasn't as good as it seemed on the surface, Seveni's good mood when she came here had completely disappeared.
She lost interest in playing in Banta City. After a quick lunch, she drove the silver white Magic Sedan that Xu Yi had given her after leaving Banta City. It didn't look that outstanding and directly left Banta City.
Based on the direction she left in, she shouldn't have given up and was heading to Anvilmar City.
Xu Yi was certain that she wouldn't have any use in seeing King Eric this time, but he didn't have any thoughts of stopping her.
He would just let Seveni do her best, even if it was meaningless.
After sending Seveni off, Xu Yi quickly returned to his busy work state.
Moving the New Flyer wasn't as easy as when Baron Belil first came here.
At that time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce only had two small factories and only had two production lines. They just needed to move some production magic machines and it was considered a complete relocation.
But now the New Flyer had over five hundred people in the Academy of Magic and the magic machine development center, which was quite large.
Since Xu Yi decided to move them, it had already been a month and they were only halfway there.
As for the other factories under the New Flyer in the Falling Rain Valley, there were a total of thirty seven factories. To move them all, it wasn't just a problem of how hard it was, it was basically impossible.
Xu Yi drove his personal Magic Sedan into the Falling Rain Valley. When the car stopped, there were many workers wearing the uniform of the New Flyer that came over.
"Aren't you working?
What are you doing here? "Xu Yi got out of the car and looked around at the workers before asking this with a frown.
The workers looked at each other and after hesitating for a bit, a young girl who looked to be around thirty wearing the uniform of the bicycle workshop asked in a loud voice, "Sir chairman, can you tell us the truth? Is our Frestech Chamber of Commerce about to close?"
"That's right, sir chairman, we wouldn't really be closing, right?
It was hard enough for me to enter our company and if we really close, where will we find a job?
“
"Sir chairman, I beg you, please don't close the door.
My family is counting on my salary to survive. If I lose this job, then my whole family will have to go hungry. "
"Right, right.
There are already several magic machine companies in the city that have closed. My little brother has already lost his job and if I lose my job, our family will be finished. "
"Sir chairman, this can't be true, right?
Ah? "
"Sir chairman … …"
… …
Seeing the expectant looks of the people around him, Xu Yi knit his brows and reprimanded, "Who told you that our New Flyer was closing?
What nonsense! "
"Then why did the Academy of Magic and the magic machine development center move out?
I've also heard that the steel mill and the magic machine workshop are also moving out. "It was the same young girl who asked in a loud voice.
"Right, I've also heard that there are several workshops in the household magic machine department that are about to stop working."
"Sir chairman … …"
… …
Xu Yi raised his hand and cut off everyone's chatter. He looked around and said with a serious look, "I'm seriously telling everyone here.
Our New Flyer is not a small company, so of course we can't close just because we want to.
Other than that, I can clearly tell everyone that our company's profits are good right now. Un ….. In short, we can earn quite a bit of money. Haven't you noticed that not only has the orders of the workshops not decreased, they've actually increased? "
"But I've heard people say that if we make magic machines now, it's a loss with each one made and the more we make, the more we lose."
Xu Yi snappily rolled his eyes at the person who said this, "If it really was like this, I would have already stopped working. Why would I keep doing things even if I knew that we were losing money, even increasing orders?"
"Un ….. That's right."
"Right, right, sir chairman is much smarter than us, how could we do something as stupid as losing money?"
"Ha, ha, I said it, we were just thinking too much."
… …
Seeing the mood of the workers instantly become better, Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
These normal workers really were easy to trick.
Of course, strictly speaking, he didn't lie to them.
"Alright, everyone go back to work.
The company's current changes are only for the long term, it doesn't mean that the company is closing.
You can be assured, even if all the other companies in Banta City close, our New Flyer won't.
How about it?
Are you confident? "
The workers looked at each other before raising their arms and shouting.
"We're confident!"
"Good, then you can all scatter."
Xu Yi waved his hand. The workers looked at each other before breaking out in laughter and scattering.
After this small disturbance, Xu Yi quickly walked into the CEO's office and slapped down on Kennard's desk.
"Investigate who spread these rumours." Xu Yi said in a deep voice.
Kennard looked up at Xu Yi and softly said, "Sir chairman, I'm afraid ….. this isn't a rumour.
Could it be that you aren't doing all of this because you want to close the door? "
Xu Yi looked at Kennard with a serious expression.
"I've said it before, moving the Academy of Magic and the magic machine development center is only for the long term, it isn't related to anything else.
Our New Flyer has worked hard to build a good foundation in Banta City, how could I give it up so easily? "
Kennard shook his head, "Sir chairman, you're not even willing to tell the truth to me?"
"This is the truth." Xu Yi said with a serious look.
Xu Yi said with a serious expression, "If someone wants to suck blood from us, then let them suck it.
As long as they don't suck us to death, I'll let them keep sucking.
I want to see who will be the first to give up in the end. "
Kennard looked at Xu Yi in surprise with a look of disbelief.
Was sir chairman ….. declaring war?
