Looking at Baron Lofeller, Xu Yi had a faint smile on his face.
In fact, Mage Bucarus was right. In the past six months, Baron Lofeller did have all sorts of reasons to feel bad about New Flyer's investment here. He even blatantly asked for bribes from the person in charge of New Flyer, which left a very bad impression on Xu Yi.
But this guy had a good point. As long as his greed was satisfied, no matter what New Flyer wanted to do, he would do his best to support it.
New Flyer was able to complete the project in this small town in half a year, so he could be considered to have contributed quite a bit. If there was a new mayor, both sides would have to adjust to each other again. Baron Lofeller might not be as useful as the current one.
Moreover, although he frequently asked for bribes, his appetite was actually quite small.
So far, half a year had passed, and the value of everything New Flyer had invested in him did not exceed five thousand gold coins.
For a mayor who held such an important position in a small town, this price could be said to be very cheap.
If every person with real power like him in the Mirando Duchy could be so easily satisfied, then Xu Yi would be quite happy.
"Baron Lofeller, it's nice to see you again.
When Phil went back to report last month, he praised you greatly in front of me. He said that with your help, the work of our rare earth smelting factory was very smooth. He said that it was very reassuring to work with you. "Xu Yi said with a smile.
Baron Lofeller obviously knew what Xu Yi meant. He quickly put on a face full of smiles and shook Xu Yi's hand tightly. He said with great enthusiasm, "Thank you for Factory Manager Phil's affirmation of my work. It is our honor that New Flyer is able to invest in our Ampriston Town.
As the mayor, I am very happy with the changes your company has brought to our town. Of course, I will help you with your work. "
Xu Yi laughed, "Our company's motto is to lead a place to become rich when we invest.
I mentioned this to Duke Mirando when I discussed this with Sir Bucarus, and I personally made this promise to Duke Mirando.
But based on the current situation, we are far from reaching our goal. "
"How so, how so. Our town has already changed quite a bit, sir Bucarus was just praising this." Baron Lofeller turned to look at Magician Bucarus with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
Magician Bucarus narrowed his eyes to look at Baron Lofeller before giving a soft snort. He then turned to Xu Yi with a smile and a nod, "Yes, Chairman Xu. Since the last time I came here, it has only been less than two months.
But in such a short time, Ampriston Town has undergone a huge change. I can't help but be amazed by the power of your Chamber of Commerce. "
Xu Yi's words, "This isn't anything.
I said, this is just the beginning. this is.
Your excellency Bucares, you've been to Banta City before, so you should know what Banta City has become.
My goal is to turn Ampriston Town into the next Banta City. "
Magician Bucarus immediately shook his head, "How can this place compare to Banta City?
To me, Banta City's prosperity can even compare to the largest cities of the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire.
There are even many strange things in Banta City that no other place on the continent has.
Ampriston Town is just a normal town in our Mirando Duchy, how could it compare? "
Baron Lofeller on the side also said in an emotional voice, "That's right, I went to Banta City to take a look before and it really left me with many surprises.
The current Banta City, in my opinion, has already surpassed all the other cities on the continent by an era. "
Xu Yi looked at Baron Lofeller in surprise. This fellow who "didn't know anything and only knew how to make money" in Phil's words could actually say that Banta City surpassed all the other cities on the continent by an era. It seemed like he wasn't completely useless.
"But ….. Chairman Xu, to be honest, I've been to Banta City several times before and the current Banta City ….. is clearly much worse compared to before.
After your New Flyer left Banta City, Banta City's prosperity dropped quite a bit. "
Magician Bucarus said with knit brows, "I really don't understand what your Lampari Kingdom is thinking, actually forcing your New Flyer away. This is simply ….. simply stupid to the extreme!"
Hearing Magician Bucarus' impolite evaluation, Xu Yi revealed a smile before shaking his head, "That is their decision, I won't comment.
Alright, your excellency Bucarus, let's not discuss these unpleasant things and talk about proper business. "
Magician Bucarus nodded before looking at Baron Lofeller.
Baron Lofeller immediately understood and said to the two of them with a smile, "I'll go take a look at the situation on the road, you can slowly chat."
When Baron Lofeller left and closed the door, Magician Bucarus took out a piece of paper for Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, this is the result of my research with several High Grade Magicians. Please take a look and give me some suggestions."
Xu Yi wasn't polite and opened it to take a look. He found that it was a blueprint and there was a complicated Magic Array drawn on it. There were also many diagrams and detailed explanations of this Magic Array on the side.
When Xu Yi finished looking over the blueprint and thought about it, Magician Bucarus asked with an expectant look, "How is it?
Chairman Xu, what do you think about the Wind Array that accelerates the Magic Airship? "
"Un ….. There isn't a problem with the general idea and there isn't a big problem with the Magic Array itself.
But … … "
"But?" Magician Bucarus immediately became nervous.
"But you've neglected a problem. You've only considered the problem of the Magic Array when the Magic Airship takes off, but you've neglected the mechanical aspect.
Although this idea is correct, if the Magic Airship has enough power when it takes off, it can fly faster and more smoothly, but you have to consider the mechanical aspect of the Magic Airship itself.
If you set up this Magic Array, the lifespan of the Magic Airship will be greatly reduced. "Xu Yi said.
"Is that so?"
Magician Bucarus looked at the blueprint and lowered his head to think for a bit, but he was still a bit confused.
"This ….. Chairman Xu, to be honest, we don't know much about machines, so we don't understand the situation you're talking about.
But Chairman Xu, you're an expert in this field, so since you've said this, it should be like this.
It seems like we were careless when designing it. "
Seeing the ashamed expression on Magician Bucarus' face, Xu Yi smiled and said, "This is nothing, no one knows everything when they're born.
If you come into contact with more knowledge about magic machines in the future, you'll naturally be able to consider it more thoroughly.
Also, I'll take this blueprint back with me, there are actually quite a few good points on it.
If I give it to Evita, it should be of help to her research. "
"Un, please don't be stingy with your guidance."
Magician Bucarus handed the blueprint back to Xu Yi, paused, and said hesitantly, "This ….. Chairman Xu, if we can't grasp this mechanical knowledge, is it impossible to build a joint venture factory?"
"That won't be the case." Xu Yi shook his head.
"There are many ways to build a joint venture factory.
If you're willing, we can temporarily provide the technology. The rest of the space, personnel, and other specific materials will be prepared by you. We'll only use the technology to invest and participate in the dividends. "
"Then wouldn't we not have the qualifications to come into contact with this technology?" Magician Bucarus asked with a frown.
Xu Yi gave a sigh in his heart.
The Mirando Duchy really was a small and weak duchy. When it came to transferring technology, those fellows from the Lampari Kingdom all aimed at the New Flyer's technology and requested the New Flyer to transfer the technology.
Magician Bucarus was one of the top magicians in the Mirando Duchy, but he was very careful when discussing this with Xu Yi.
But this was what Xu Yi wanted. If the Mirando Duchy acted as strong as the Lampari Kingdom, he wouldn't consider a deeper cooperation.
"Relax, for some household magic machine related technology, our company already has experience in transferring it.
If nothing unexpected happens, in just around a year, you'll be able to grasp the technology.
When the time comes, you'll have the ability to produce your own household magic machines and you won't need to consider a joint venture with our company. "Xu Yi patiently explained.
Magician Bucarus nodded, but he was still a bit confused.
"Chairman Xu, I don't understand. If you look at it from the perspective of your New Flyer, it's clear that it's better for you to keep the technology and cooperate with us.
If you really transfer all the technology to us, we indeed don't need to cooperate with you at all.
Wouldn't this be very disadvantageous for you? "
Xu Yi shook his head with a faint smile, "If you understood the things our New Flyer has done over the years, you wouldn't have asked this question.
It's hard for me to explain the specifics to you, so just treat it as me being willful. "
Magician Bucarus tightly knit his brows as he looked at Xu Yi, clearly not understanding at all.
But Xu Yi clearly wasn't planning on explaining this to him, so he didn't keep asking. He went through his bag and took out a document for Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, this is the contract for the rare earth mine and Magic Crystal mine that the duke signed for you. Please take a look."
