Xu Yi already couldn't remember how many people had asked him if he was crazy.
Since he announced at the New Flyer's high level meeting that he was giving up his noble status, almost everyone who knew him would ask him this question after seeing him.
Even those who weren't familiar with him and only knew him, although they wouldn't ask him directly, it could be seen from their expressions that they thought this in their hearts.
When he decided to accept City Lord Kamado's countless suggestions and cooperate with the kingdom's magic machine industry management department, transferring the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's magic machine technology, not to mention Seveni reprimanding him for being crazy, even the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's subordinates who had always admired him and obediently followed his orders all looked at him with doubtful gazes.
Sir chairman ….. wouldn't really be crazy, right?
Otherwise with sir chairman's wisdom, how could he not see the serious consequences of agreeing to the magic machine industry management department's suggestion?
It wasn't exaggerated to say that although the department only wanted the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to transfer a part of their technology to the ten companies, it could be imagined that the department would have more and more requests for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, even forcing them to do so.
At that time, Xu Yi who had lost his noble status and the two powerful backing of Lampuri Thirteenth and her highness Seveni, how could he resist King Eric and the nobles of the Lampari Kingdom behind him?
To put it bluntly, Xu Yi agreeing to this condition was no different from giving New Flyer to those greedy nobles!
This was something that everyone could see, so it was impossible for Xu Yi to not see it. So why did he do this?
Among the people who knew Xu Yi, other than a few people who didn't understand and weren't willing to question Xu Yi, like Stiel and Great Magician Camilla, as well as some people who blindly followed Xu Yi, like Agnes and Vivian, the only one who understood and supported Xu Yi wasn't a human.
"Actually, your choice is very wise, I don't understand why your subordinates have such a big opinion."
Elder Elucía had a confused look on her face that was as beautiful as a young girl's.
"Since your New Flyer's biggest pillar in the Lampari Kingdom has disappeared, of course you can't develop as easily as before.
Choosing to leave and find another path, isn't this a very normal thing? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug and said with a faint smile, "There is an old saying in my hometown, it's called the onlooker sees the situation clearly and the person involved is confused.
Elder Elucía is an elf, so it's easier for you to see some things in our human society.
Rather, it's the subordinates of our company who are mostly related to the company, so of course they can't see the true meaning behind my choice. "
"Perhaps it's like this." Elder Elucía gave a soft nod before looking at Xu Yi with a bit of curiosity.
"You said that your subordinates are confused because they are involved, then what about you?
If we're talking about the benefits of the New Flyer, no one can compare to you, right?
How can you see it so clearly and make such a simple decision?
No matter what, you can't be considered an outsider, right? "
Xu Yi revealed a smile. He wasn't just an outsider to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he was even an outsider to the entire world.
This was a natural psychological advantage of being a transmigrator, but there was no way to explain it.
"It's probably because my goal is much bigger than everyone thinks."
Xu Yi gave a vague explanation with a smile, looked around, and continued, "Let's not talk about this meaningless topic, let's talk about the business I came for this time.
Elder Elucía, City Lord Kamado, on behalf of the kingdom's parliament, the business department, and the magic machine industry management department proposed the conditions, including the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory.
Their request is that the plastic processing technology your Nightsong tribe has must also be shared. What do you think about this request? "
"Impossible." Elder Elucía's reply was calm, but unusually firm.
"These technologies are unique to our Nightsong tribe, we can't give it to them so easily."
Xu Yi revealed a smile, looking as if he wasn't surprised.
"Good, according to City Lord Kamado's message from the magic machine industry management department, since the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory isn't willing to share the technology, then the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory will be considered as not part of our New Flyer.
According to the kingdom's parliament's regulations, the Nightsong tribe's plastic processing factory will no longer be recognized by the kingdom's business department because it doesn't have any human merchants. It must be dismantled within a certain time limit. "
"What about the Moon Shadow tribe's fertilizer processing factory?" Elder Elucía asked.
"It will be dealt with the same way."
"The greedy among you humans are still as greedy as ever." Elder Elucía's smile had a hint of mockery.
"No wonder Chairman Xu informed us in advance to prepare for the relocation, so you already expected the reaction of those humans."
"I'm just preparing for a rainy day." Xu Yi said.
"In short, our New Flyer can't even protect ourselves, so of course you have to prepare in advance."
"Yes, the preparation work isn't hard.
But … … "Elder Elucía slightly frowned.
"Chairman Xu, are you sure you want us to go to the Black Rice Wasteland to build another factory?
That's the beastmen's territory after all, so it might not be convenient.
In my opinion, it's better to build the factory in the Falling Rain Forest. The humans won't be able to come here and harass us for now. "
"But it won't be easy for you to go out, right?" Xu Yi asked back.
"Elder Elucía, I think you should understand the importance of transportation for industrial development.
Although it's safe in the Falling Rain Forest, the transportation is too inconvenient. It will hinder the transportation of goods and raw materials, which is very bad for the factory's development. "
Elder Elucía thought for a bit and nodded.
"That's right.
We chose to settle in the Falling Rain Forest because it's very inconvenient for humans to come and go. We won't be easily harassed by humans here.
But now it seems that it's a disadvantage. "
"Other than the transportation problem, there is another important factor which is that the plastic processing factory needs to be developed. You wouldn't be satisfied with just a single plastic processing factory, right?
In the Falling Rain Forest, because of the terrain restrictions, the development prospects will be limited. This is a very realistic problem. "
"Un, I have to admit that in this aspect, you have more experience than me and can think further."
Elder Elucía considered it before saying with a nod, "Alright, I'll have Amelud pick a suitable place in the Black Rice Wasteland to build the plastic processing factory.
But if we move to the Black Rice Wasteland and transport the plastic products to Banta City, because of the distance, wouldn't the transport cost be much higher? "
"That's simple, just add the cost to the price." Xu Yi said with a smile.
Elder Elucía looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Chairman Xu, your New Flyer's magic machines use quite a bit of plastic."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Yi gave a shrug.
"You just need to treat everyone the same.
As for the pressure from the increase in the price of plastic products ….. Anyway, it's not only our New Flyer that will feel it. "
Elder Elucía doubtfully looked at Xu Yi who seemed like he was taking joy in other people's misfortune, not understanding why he was always this relaxed.
After deciding on the matter of moving the Night Song Tribe's plastic processing factory, Xu Yi made another request to elder Elucía.
Because Xu Yi had given up his status as a noble, the Falling Rain Valley that was Xu Yi's private territory was taken back by the Royal Parliament. Then the Falling Rain Valley guards that were formed by the elves and dwarves in name would disappear.
There were two hundred dwarven warriors and one hundred and fifty elven warriors in this guard team, but now that the name of the guard team had disappeared, those two dwarven warriors had chosen to join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guard team. As for the one hundred and fifty elven warriors, they still had the pride of the elves and didn't make the same choice.
Xu Yi's request to elder Elucía naturally wasn't for the one hundred and fifty elven warriors to join the New Flyer guard team. Instead, he wanted them to become the guards of the New Flyer base in the Black Rice Wasteland.
In name, because the Night Song Tribe's plastic processing factory was about to move to that base, the one hundred and fifty elven warriors could be considered the guards of the Night Song Tribe's plastic processing factory.
As for the job of protecting the entire base, it could be considered a side job.
After hearing Xu Yi's explanation, elder Elucía suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Yi was stunned, "Elder Elucía, what's so funny about this?
I racked my brains to come up with this plan for the pride of the elven warriors, do you accept or not? "
Elder Elucía revealed a smile like a flower and looked at Xu Yi as she said, "Actually, Chairman Xu, you don't need to spend this much effort.
I think ….. even if you want them to become your personal guards, they wouldn't refuse. "
"How is that possible!" Xu Yi had a look of disbelief.
"I tried my best to have them join our company's guards before, but they never agreed.
Agnes also said to me that this is impossible because it goes against the principles of the elves.
Since they aren't even willing to join the company's guards, how could they become my personal guards? "
"Because there is a difference between you and the New Flyer." Elder Elucía said with a faint smile.
"The New Flyer is a human company, so naturally it won't be recognized by us elves. Joining the New Flyer's guards will be seen as working for the humans, so this goes against the principles of us elves."
"Then wouldn't becoming my personal guards go against this principle even more?
I am a human. "Xu Yi said in a surprised voice.
"This is not the same." Elder Elucía shook her head.
"Although you are a human, because of the problem with our tribe's water source, you have already obtained the approval of our entire tribe. Our Nightsong tribe will not treat you as a normal human, but rather as a member of our tribe.
Becoming your personal guard is not something that is hard to accept for the warriors of the tribe. "
Xu Yi blinked, "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Elder Elucía nodded with a smile, "Chairman Xu, I think you haven't asked Fario if they were willing to become your personal guards, right?"
"Indeed I haven't." Xu Yi shook his head.
"I always thought they wouldn't accept, so I never thought of asking."
"That's good, you can ask now. I think Fario and the others will be very happy."
Receiving elder Elucía's encouragement, Xu Yi was filled with excitement.
