"Two hundred thousand gold coins?"
Xu Yi looked at King Teruc in surprise. He couldn't help shaking his head as he said with a sigh, "Your majesty, you really are a big spender.
Of course, this ambassador Hakanin's appetite is really big. "
"He always had a big appetite," King Teruc said with a smile.
King Teruc smiled, "But this two hundred thousand gold coins is completely for you."
"For me?" Xu Yi was even more surprised.
"Your majesty, I don't have that much face ….. It's worth you spending two hundred thousand gold coins to solve this matter."
"Two hundred thousand gold coins might be a lot for others, but is it a lot for you?" King Teruc looked at Xu Yi with a gaze of deep meaning.
"Chairman Xu, if my estimates aren't wrong, your New Flyer's profits last year should be at least five million gold coins, right?"
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, not denying it at all.
"I admit that our New Flyer's profits aren't bad, but we also spent a lot.
Moreover ….. Your majesty, how is this related to you being willing to spend two hundred thousand gold coins? "
King Teruc shook his head, "Chairman Xu, I think we shouldn't waste time talking nonsense here.
Since you want me to show my sincerity, then I've already shown it.
Although two hundred thousand gold coins might not be much for you, for me and even for our Kingdom of Ruhr, this is not a number that can be casually thrown out.
I've already shown enough sincerity, then what about you, Chairman Xu? "
Xu Yi was a bit surprised in his heart.
Although from the information Kennard had gathered on this King Teruc and his observations on the Kingdom of Ruhr, Xu Yi could infer that this King Teruc was a very ambitious and far-sighted king, so he deliberately used this chance to test King Teruc and the Kingdom of Ruhr's attitude towards the New Flyer.
However, Xu Yi didn't expect King Teruc to express his attitude to Xu Yi in such a straightforward manner.
It was like King Teruc had said, in this matter, he had paid two hundred thousand gold coins to calm ambassador Hakanin's anger. This was indeed a very high level of sincerity to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi thought for a while and stopped smiling. He nodded at King Teruc and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have to say that I am very surprised by your attitude.
Actually, I came here with a very nervous heart because I'm not sure what you're thinking. "
"Do you understand now?" King Teruc smiled.
"Yes.
I am a merchant, so from these 200,000 gold coins, I can clearly feel Your Majesty's sincerity.
Obviously, I must respond to your sincerity. "
Xu Yi paused and asked, "Your Majesty, please tell me your thoughts, or just tell me your request."
"What if I ask you for the military magic machine technology?" King Teruc asked with a smile.
"That's impossible." Xu Yi firmly shook his head.
"We can't transfer this technology right now, there is no room for discussion."
"Is that so?" King Teruc gave a soft snort.
"Chairman Xu, don't forget, you are in my royal palace right now. As long as I give the order, I can easily capture you.
Do you think that using your life to exchange for the military magic machine technology is possible? "
"Impossible."
Xu Yi didn't look like he was threatened by these words at all, rather he said with a relaxed smile, "Your Majesty, you wouldn't do this because what you really want is not as simple as the military magic machine technology."
"Do you think you understand me very well?"
King Teruc slightly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Chairman Xu, don't look down on your own value.
In my opinion, the value of a single person like you is even greater than our kingdom's two armies. "
"Oh?
I really have to thank Your Majesty for this, "Xu Yi said with a smile," But because of this, you won't threaten me with my life, right? "
King Teruc gave a snort, "You are right.
You are far more useful alive than dead.
At the very least, I don't want you to die before I squeeze all the value out of you. "
Xu Yi laughed and spread out his hands, "Alright then, I am here now.
Your Majesty, how do you want to squeeze all the value out of me? "
King Teruc looked at Xu Yi and put on a smile again. He slightly shook his head and said, "As expected, I can't treat you as an ordinary merchant.
Alright, let's not talk nonsense and get down to business.
Chairman Xu, regarding the two cooperation projects proposed by New Flyer, I would like to represent the Kingdom of Ruhr to agree to them, but the specific details need to be discussed again. "
"Thank you for your agreement.
But Your Majesty, what are the details that you want to discuss? "
"The specific details will be up to your company to discuss with the relevant departments of the kingdom. I will only give you a general idea."
Xu Yi nodded, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
"First, it is regarding the rental of Nissi City's port.
Your New Flyer wants to rent it for a long term, that is not a problem. But you want to rent the port to only park your New Flyer's ships. This is something that I do not agree to. "
"Oh?
Why is that? "Xu Yi asked.
"Because that is our Kingdom of Ruhr's territory. Do you understand what I mean?" King Teruc said in a deep voice.
Xu Yi thought for a bit and nodded, "I understand. Your Majesty, you think that if we follow the request of our company, we will lose our sovereignty over the port, right?"
"It's good that you understand."
"Then Your Majesty, what do you think?" Xu Yi asked again.
"If we use it as a normal port, then I don't think our company needs to ask you to rent it. What do you think?"
"Of course, we will still give your New Flyer some special privileges."
King Teruc said, "I will specially approve a few ports in Nissi City to allow your New Flyer's ships to dock there first. But when your New Flyer's ships are not there, other ships can dock there.
Then your New Flyer will only need to pay a certain amount of management fees every year.
What do you think? "
Xu Yi frowned slightly, "What if our New Flyer's ships arrive at the port and find that there are already other ships docked there?"
"That is simple. We just need to inform them in advance." King Teruc waved his hand.
"These are all details. You can discuss with the Nissi City's mayor. I will only make my own request. You can discuss the rest."
Xu Yi thought for a bit. Although he felt that this plan was not perfect, he could accept it and nodded.
"Then that is it. Our company will comply with Your Majesty's wishes and negotiate with the Nissi City's mayor.
Then Your Majesty, what instructions do you have for the second cooperation project? "
"The second cooperation project … … I don't have any opinions on this project itself. But Chairman Xu, I have a different opinion on the way your New Flyer has chosen."
"Oh?
Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with the current cooperation method? "
"It's not that I am dissatisfied.
Your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has already invested in seventeen magic machine factories in our Rudson Kingdom, as well as recruiting a total of six thousand four hundred and twenty three local workers in our Rudson Kingdom. This has solved the work problem of our kingdom's citizens and made a large contribution to improving their living conditions, so I am very satisfied with this. "
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. But this is only what we should do. It is not worthy of your praise."
"Before your Frestech Chamber of Commerce came, we didn't have these things." King Teruc shook his head.
"If it wasn't for the changes your New Flyer brought to our kingdom, do you think you would have the opportunity to stand here and talk to me today?"
"If I didn't have this value, I wouldn't be here today, right?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
King Teruc laughed and said, "Chairman Xu, you are indeed different from ordinary merchants.
Good, I don't deny your value. I appreciate the value of your New Flyer. But Chairman Xu, don't you think … … your New Flyer is too slow and too careful in our Kingdom of Ruhr? "
Xu Yi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you mean … …"
King Teruc waved his hand, "My meaning is very simple.
Our Kingdom of Ruhr is not the Lampari Kingdom and I am not your Lampari Kingdom's old Lampuri Thirteenth or this useless Eric. You don't need to have the same scruples towards our Kingdom of Ruhr because of what happened in the Lampari Kingdom. "
Xu Yi smiled and didn't say anything.
Actually King Teruc was right. It was because the New Flyer had been suppressed in the Lampari Kingdom that Xu Yi became more careful when he sent the New Flyer into the Kingdom of Ruhr. He wasn't like when he was in the Lampari Kingdom two years ago, investing in factories all over the place because he was worried that something would happen in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Seeing the expression on Xu Yi's face, King Teruc slowed down his voice and said with a serious look, "Chairman Xu, I am very clear on the value of you and the New Flyer. I am also very clear on the influence and change that the magic machine industry you represent can bring to a country.
So I am willing to take the risk of offending ambassador Hakanin and even the Kandla Empire to protect you.
I've already made my stance clear. What else do you need to worry about? "
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before looking at King Teruc and asking in a soft voice, "Alright, your majesty, what do you want me and my company to do?"
"It's very simple.
Open up all kinds of household magic machine technology to us and help train talents in the magic machine industry in our kingdom, promoting the development of the magic machine industry in our kingdom.
My goal is to make every city in the Kingdom of Ruhr as prosperous as Banta City from before! "
Seeing the glow in King Teruc's eyes and the strong confidence on his face, Xu Yi couldn't say anything for a while.
