"Sir chairman, for such an obvious fact, do you still need to ask the elder?" Agnes looked up at Xu Yi with a confused look.
"If they didn't approve of you, the clansmen wouldn't have come to work in the New Flyer.
For example, if I didn't truly accept you, how could I stay by your side? "
"You are not the same as them." Xu Yi shook his head.
"You are the first elf I came in contact with. The reason why you stayed by my side was because I took you from elder Elucía and you stayed by my side for such a long time.
If even you don't approve of me, then I'll have to reflect on my own character. "
Agnes giggled, "No need to reflect on yourself.
Sir chairman, although your heart isn't as pure as big sister Stiel or Vivian's, you are still very outstanding among humans.
Anyway, I like staying by your side. If you chase me away, I won't be happy. "
Xu Yi couldn't help scratching her nose, "Could it be you want to stay by my side forever?
Sooner or later, you'll have to marry like the other elves, and then you'll have your own life. "
Agnes' eyes turned and she suddenly clapped her hands as she excitedly said, "That's right, speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something.
Sir chairman, didn't you tell me last time that elves and humans can't marry?
But I asked the elder and she told me that there is no possibility of elves and humans marrying.
On the contrary, before the race wars, there were many elves marrying with humans and giving birth to children, the legendary half-elves. "
"And then?" Xu Yi rolled his eyes at her.
"These half-elves won't be accepted by the elves, right?"
"Un ….. It seems like it, but this is something from several thousand years ago and is different from now.
Sir chairman, what you said before was wrong, we can marry.
Moreover, I'm certain that the remaining half-elven children will be accepted by the elves.
So you don't need to worry. "
"What if I'm not worried!" Xu Yi reprimanded her. He curled his index finger to tap Agnes' forehead.
"I say, why are you thinking about these things at such a young age?
Don't you feel embarrassed? "
"Embarrassed?
Why would I be embarrassed? "Agnes rubbed her forehead with a look of confusion.
"Opposite sex marrying and reproduction are all very normal topics. You are a human male and I am a female elf, discussing the possibility of marrying and reproduction, what is there to be embarrassed about?
Moreover, sir chairman, I've said it many times, I'm already over eighty years old!
I'm much older than you! "
Xu Yi was defeated by the naive Agnes and he couldn't help holding his forehead with a sigh.
"Alright, if you don't feel embarrassed, then I feel embarrassed.
Anyway, don't discuss this topic so loudly in front of so many people, okay? "
Xu Yi's's words to say, "You to me," Agnes''s expression's's,'s to me, "
"Agto me, to me to you to her to me," Agnes to me to's''t's....... "
"Alright, I also have many questions I want to ask the elder." Agnes happily clapped her hands and quickly agreed.
Xu Yi helplessly shook his head. He turned to Vivian and waved his hand at them.
"Come, Vivian, bring Agnes over to Kennard's side and explain some of your design ideas to the officials sent by the magic machine industry management department.
Today is the first time the department has come to our New Flyer, so you have to properly receive them. "
"Oh."
When Vivian pulled away Agnes who still looked a bit unsatisfied, there was a middle aged man who looked very normal, but his clothes were decent. It could be seen that he came from a noble family with a single glance that he came to Xu Yi's side.
"The two of them are the two most outstanding designers of your New Flyer?
They really are young and promising. "The middle aged man looked at Vivian and Agnes' departing figures and softly said with a sigh.
"It's nothing, they have just been in contact for a long time, so practice makes perfect." Xu Yi calmly replied before turning to look at the middle aged man.
Speaking of outstanding designers, I think those ten companies must have the help of many outstanding masters of the kingdom, so they definitely won't be inferior to the two of them.
Am I right, director Russell? "
The current director of the department Deno Russell revealed a faint smile and shook his head as he said, "Chairman Xu, you should understand better than anyone that masters of art and designers are two different things.
That beautiful elven young miss Agnes is not only a designer, but also a master of art recognized by everyone in the kingdom.
But among those masters of art, not a single one of them can be called a designer. "
"That's simple. Let them participate in the design process and after a long time, they will naturally become designers." Xu Yi said.
Director Russell looked at Xu Yi and said with a faint smile, "Chairman Xu, it seems like you are still dissatisfied with the technology transfer."
Xu Yi looked at him and slowly shook his head, "No, I'm not dissatisfied.
It's just that I spent a lot of effort to develop these things and suddenly having to give them to others, my heart is still a bit uncomfortable. "
Director Russell laughed, "I understand Chairman Xu's feelings, but for everything, we have to look forward, right?
Although it seems like your New Flyer has suffered a loss by handing over the technology.
But first let's not talk about the transfer fee that the ten companies have to pay to receive the technology. Just based on the ten companies participating in the magic machine industry, how much of a boost it will bring to the magic machine industry, I think chairman Xu should understand this, right? "
Xu Yi gave a cold laugh in his heart.
Technology transfer fee?
When New Flyer sold the Magic Stove, the Magic Electric Stove, the Magic Air Conditioner, and the other household magic machine technology, any company that wanted to obtain this technology had to pay at least a hundred thousand gold coins.
But what about the ten companies that the department appointed?
The highest transfer fee was only a trivial thirty thousand gold coins!
And this thirty thousand gold coins even included a set of production magic machines!
If they really calculated it, this technology was no different from New Flyer giving it to them for free!
The so called transfer fee was clearly just a fig leaf to Xu Yi. It was just a proof that these fellows wanted to be whores, but they still wanted to show off their chastity.
As for the promotion brought by the ten companies participating in the magic machine industry, Xu Yi didn't oppose it.
These ten companies had the shadows of the old nobles behind them. With this kind of solid backing and with the technology provided by New Flyer, these ten companies would be able to enter the magic machine industry in a short period of time and speed up the development of the magic machine industry.
The more important thing was that because of these ten companies joining, the conservative nobles who opposed the magic machine industry before would no longer insist on this position and would instead support the development of the magic machine industry.
For example, one of the conditions that Xu Yi proposed to King Eric through City Lord Kamado was to adjust the special business tax for magic machines.
After Xu Yi transferred a part of the technology, this condition quickly received a response.
Just half a month ago, Banta City's business tax reform was abolished on the grounds that "experiments proved that it wasn't suitable".
Because of this, there were many magic machine companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy and some small component processing companies that were revived. It was like Banta City was instantly filled with vitality.
But Xu Yi wasn't too optimistic about their prospects.
These ten companies appointed by the department would enjoy all kinds of preferential policies in the future. If these companies without any foundation in Banta City wanted to compete with them, it was like throwing eggs at a rock.
Even if it was the New Flyer, it would be hard for them to survive in this pincer attack.
The reason why they hadn't swallowed the New Flyer was because they hadn't digested the technology of the New Flyer yet, so there was still value in keeping the New Flyer.
Whenever he thought of this problem, Xu Yi couldn't help giving a sigh in his heart.
If business wanted to break free from the influence of politics, it really was too hard.
It was a good thing that he had already thought of this and made preparations ahead of time.
What he was doing now was nothing more than his dream of creating an industrial system.
Leaving a spark of the magic machine industry for Banta City or the Lampari Kingdom was already all that he could do right now. As for whether this spark could continue to flourish like when the New Flyer led the development of the magic machine industry, that wasn't something that the current Xu Yi could decide.
After taking a deep look at chief Russell, Xu Yi said with a serious look, "I believe that after those ten companies join the magic machine industry, the magic machine industry in the Lampari Kingdom will definitely flourish.
But I have something that I hope that chief Russell can pass on to the people in charge of those ten companies. "
Seeing how serious Xu Yi was, chief Russell's expression also became serious.
"Please speak."
Chief Russell nodded, "Transferring the technology that our company already has isn't something that is hard for me to accept.
In fact, before this, our company has already transferred many magic machine related technologies. "
"Un, I understand.
Regarding chairman Xu's selfless actions, when I talked to many people in private, they all expressed their admiration. "Chief Russell said with a nod.
Chief Russell said with a nod, "What I want to say is that it isn't a problem to directly take the developed technology from our New Flyer, this is also the fastest and most convenient method.
But have you ever thought of a problem? Once you take all the technology from our New Flyer, what will you do next? "
Chief Russell said with an awkward smile, "I understand Chairman Xu's meaning.
Chairman Xu, you've always emphasized that the development of the magic machine industry can't be separated from research and development. I think that those ten companies also understand this, so there's no need to worry.
Then again, there's still the New Flyer led by Chairman Xu, right? "
Xu Yi shook his head, "No, you don't understand, and they also don't understand.
Research and development is just a phrase, but in reality, it isn't as easy as you think.
To put it bluntly, no matter if it's personnel, theoretical foundation, or the most basic workers, there isn't a single company that can compare to our New Flyer. "
Chief Russell frowned, "Then Chairman Xu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Xu Yi smiled faintly, "I don't have any suggestions, only … … I wish you good luck."
Seeing the fake smile on Xu Yi's face, chief Russell's expression couldn't help but change.
