The metal door slowly opened and the first thing Russell saw was Xu Yi's smiling face.
"Sir Russell, being able to see you again really makes one happy." Xu Yi came forward with a smile, while also giving a nod to the fat ambassador Hakanin.
Russell calmed himself down and walked out of the automatic magic staircase. He reached his hand out to Xu Yi with a smile.
"Chairman Xu, I'm also very happy to see you again.
Because it was our first time meeting last time, we didn't have a close conversation. I hope that we can have a good exchange this time. "
"Oh?"
Xu Yi slightly narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile, "If sir Russell is willing to have a deep exchange with me, I will very much welcome it.
I just don't know if you and the people behind you are ready for it. "
Seeing that Xu Yi was this direct, Russell didn't waste any more words. He said with a nod, "Since I'm here this time, of course I'm prepared.
Chairman Xu, I think that we will have a very good chat this time. "
"That is great." Xu Yi revealed a happy smile, as he tightened his grip on Russell's hand.
"Being able to have a friendly and deep exchange with the respected Kandla Empire's navy, that is what I wish for."
After exchanging greetings, Xu Yi invited Russell and ambassador Hakanin to the already prepared table.
After the three of them had lunch, Kennard appeared at the right time. Then ambassador Hakanin immediately bid farewell and left with Kennard.
Every time he came here, he would order a new batch of household magic machines from New Flyer.
Because the household magic machines were becoming more and more popular in Wimbledon City, ambassador Hakanin would order more and more goods every time he came to New Flyer.
Last time, the total value of the household magic machines he ordered had already exceeded 800,000 gold coins. This time, according to his plan, he wanted to order at least 1,000,000 gold coins worth of goods.
If it was said that the New Flyer's contact with ambassador Hakanin was just to find a channel to open the Kandla Empire, now ambassador Hakanin had become a very important partner of the New Flyer.
After cooperating with ambassador Hakanin many times, Xu Yi found that although ambassador Hakanin's character was normal, he was very honest when doing business, so he was a very good partner.
So under his instructions, the cooperation between the New Flyer and ambassador Hakanin became closer and closer.
Now New Flyer was not only providing ambassador Hakanin with more and more household magic machines, it was also giving him all kinds of benefits. Xu Yi was even considering giving ambassador Hakanin more cooperation content.
For example, the agricultural magic machines that the Sack Kingdom greatly desired had given Xu Yi inspiration, giving him the idea of promoting the Xinfei Brand agricultural magic machines in the Kandla Empire.
To realize this idea, ambassador Hakanin was a very good medium.
After ambassador Hakanin left, Xu Yi had all the servants leave. There was only Xu Yi and Russell left in the room.
The two looked at each other in silence for a bit before Xu Yi said, "Sir Russell, you came alone this time, so how can I believe that you can represent the Kandla Empire's navy?"
Russell wasn't surprised by Xu Yi's question, so he said with a smile, "Chairman Xu, don't you think that this question has no meaning?
Other than the empire's navy, I think that no one else would be interested in your New Flyer's guard ships.
As for me ….. Although I'm very interested, I can't afford it. "
Xu Yi shook his head, "No, sir Russell, other than the respected Kandla Empire's navy, there have been quite a few people who have expressed interest in our guard ships."
"Really?" Luo Su clearly didn't believe it.
Russell didn't believe it, "I don't think that other than our Kandla Empire's navy, there are other powers that need these guard ships."
"That might not be the case." Xu Yi refuted.
"For example, the Malor Empire's navy ….. They would definitely be very interested in these guard ships."
Russell narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xu Yi. After looking at him for a while, his expression became gentle and he let out a soft sigh. He shook his head and said, "Alright, Chairman Xu, time is precious, so I don't think we should waste time on this meaningless conversation.
I can clearly tell you that I am representing our Kandla Empire's navy this time, hoping to buy your New Flyer's guard ships. "
Xu Yi also smiled, "If you are sincere in buying, then I would certainly welcome you.
Sir Russell, how many ships do you intend to buy?
I have to say in advance that our chamber of commerce's current production capacity is limited. If your demand is too high, I'm afraid we won't be able to satisfy your request in a short time. "
Russell's face twitched slightly. After a pause, he said with a trace of dejection, "I don't think Chairman Xu needs to worry about this.
We are only hoping to get a few guard ships to test it out.
If the results are satisfactory, then we will consider ordering more guard ships. "
Xu Yi immediately smiled, "I'm a hundred percent sure that you will be very satisfied with the guard ships."
Russell wanted to refute, but he found that he couldn't find the words to refute.
He had seen the strength of the New Flyer's guard fleet with his own eyes and was already completely convinced.
If it wasn't like this, why would he take such a great risk and forcefully pass the proposal to buy guard ships to the Empire's navy staff and submit it to the Empire's navy headquarters in his own name?
It had to be known that he would have to bear a very heavy responsibility.
If the guard ships he purchased couldn't achieve the results he stated in the report, then the consequences he would have to bear would be extremely severe.
"Alright, Chairman Xu, let's return to the topic at hand." Russell continued.
"Our side is indeed interested in purchasing guard ships, but we have great doubts about the price you are willing to pay for them.
We cannot accept a price of two million gold coins per ship. "
Xu Yi asked back with a smile, "Then what is the price that your noble side can accept?
Russell raised his hand, "If it's five hundred thousand gold coins per ship, then we can accept it."
The smile on Xu Yi's face immediately froze. The muscles on his face twitched twice before he slowly shook his head, "Impossible.
Sir Russell, although haggling is inevitable in a transaction, don't you think this kind of haggling is too excessive? "
"Then what is the lowest price you can accept?" Russell asked back.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment before he raised a finger to Russell, "Since this is the first time we've worked together, I can give you a certain discount.
How about this? I'll reduce the price by one hundred thousand gold coins per ship. That's 1.9 million gold coins per ship. What do you think? "
"Impossible. This price is too outrageous. We absolutely cannot accept it.
Five hundred thousand gold coins. In addition, we can add on some conditions. Chairman Xu, what do you think? "
"I don't think there are any conditions that can make up for the huge difference of 1.4 million gold coins per ship." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Sir Russell, I'm full of expectations for this transaction. Therefore, I hope that you can also show your sincerity."
"What if this condition is to help New Flyer successfully enter the Empire?"
Xu Yi was slightly startled. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Russell for a while before he slowly nodded, "Sir Russell, please speak clearly."
###
Last time Russell came to the Principality of Constantine, he only stayed for three days before leaving. But this time, he stayed for much longer.
After staying in the Principality of Constantine for seven days, Russell finally left with the satisfied ambassador Hakanin.
When they left, Xu Yi represented New Flyer to give Russell a Magic Boat model as a gift.
This Magic Boat model was made of light alloy. Although it was just a model, it was very delicate and very firm.
Xu Yi used his hammer to hit the model twice in front of Russell, but it actually didn't deform the model at all.
Russell happily accepted this gift because he was very clear that Xu Yi's gift to him, other than representing the deal between New Flyer and the Kandla Empire's navy, had a commemorative meaning, it was also to prove to him that New Flyer had a high level of technology when it came to making steel.
Russell had seen iron that was as pleasantly surprised as this model before, but it was the only one that was this fine and hard.
Russell believed that other than New Flyer, there wasn't a second company in the Sines that could do this.
Even the alloy used to make this model was only produced by New Flyer.
This meant that even if the Kandla Empire's navy bought the guard ships from New Flyer, it would be very hard for them to imitate these guard ships and make them themselves.
From this point of view, Xu Yi giving him this gift was a hidden warning to Russell and the Kandla Empire's navy.
The guard ships could only be bought from New Flyer, so if the Kandla Empire's navy wanted to continue making guard ships, they could only cooperate with New Flyer.
Regarding this, Russell felt a bit of humiliation and anger in his heart.
But the facts were like this and he couldn't do a thing.
Moreover, he was certain that with the high performance of the New Flyer guard ships, those fellows who had never seen them before wouldn't be able to find any reason to object once they saw them.
So the Kandla Empire's navy would continue buying guard ships from New Flyer and obediently cooperate with New Flyer.
Even if he felt a bit humiliated, Russell still believed in his heart that the empire's navy had to accept this cooperation.
Moreover, Russell even had a bit of expectation in his heart.
If they followed the cooperation plan proposed by Xu Yi, not only would New Flyer be able to achieve their goal, but the empire's navy would also be able to gain a lot of benefits.
According to Xu Yi's words, this was called "win-win".
