While Eitro was carefully studying the documents on the side, the other two people from the army headquarters came to talk to Xu Yi.
Different from Eitro's specific request, the two officers from the intelligence department and the battle staff department told Xu Yi that the army headquarters wanted to cooperate with New Flyer, saying that they needed to inspect the details before making a decision.
But Baron Moff from the battle staff department gave Xu Yi a specific idea from the army headquarters, which was that they hoped that New Flyer could provide more information on the military magic machines, making it easier for the battle staff department to evaluate them.
"To put it simply, the army headquarters wants to know the specific uses of the military magic machines produced by your company, as well as how powerful they are. Also, how easy it is to use them, how easy it is to maintain them ….. and other aspects.
Only after knowing this can the army headquarters decide if they want to import these military magic machines and ….. how many they want to import.
Chairman Xu, do you understand what I mean? "
Xu Yi gave a faint smile and said with a nod, "Of course, inspecting the goods is a necessary procedure, so it's very normal.
How about this, I have two suggestions. One, you can send some professionals to our New Flyer to inspect the military magic machines and see how good they are.
After all, just looking at the data won't give you any experience, right? "
"Un, this is our initial plan.
Then what about the other suggestion? "
"There's another suggestion ….. It's more direct than your own inspection.
I can send a group of guards from our New Flyer and show you the uses of these military magic machines.
I think that this will give you a deeper understanding. "
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Baron Moff and the intelligence department officer on the side couldn't help raising a brow as their expressions became a bit strange.
This suggestion sounded very good, but the two of them felt a bit of contempt from Xu Yi's tone, which made them feel a bit uncomfortable.
Baron Moff was silent for a bit before saying, "How about this, the first suggestion was the army headquarters' plan. Now that Chairman Xu has taken the initiative to propose it, it can be considered a preliminary agreement between us. We'll just discuss the details now.
As for the second suggestion ….. I can't give you a reply now. After I report back, we'll let the higher-ups make a decision. Chairman Xu, what do you think? "
"Of course I have no problem. This is just a suggestion, the decision is in your hands." Xu Yi gave a shrug as he said this with a relaxed look.
Baron Moff and Xu Yi reached an agreement, but the intelligence department officer didn't talk to Xu Yi at all. After Baron Moff and Xu Yi finished talking, he stood up and pulled Viscount Eitro who was studying on the side, as he left.
Viscount Eitro was immersed in the data, so he was a bit impatient.
When he reacted and saw what the two of them were doing, he finally came back to his senses.
But he wasn't in a rush to leave, rather he pointed at the data in his hand and asked Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, this is a Magic Car that can easily run over mountains, when will it be made?"
"It's still in the research stage, so I'm not certain when it will be made.
But if your side has a large demand for this Magic Car, we might be able to make it ahead of time. "
Although Xu Yi didn't say it, the meaning in his words couldn't be clearer.
Of course the New Flyer could make this Magic Car, but whether it was fast or slow, it would depend on whether it could make money.
There was nothing wrong with this, so Eitro nodded to show he understood. He pointed at the data in his hand before pointing at himself and looking at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi spread his hand with a smile, "This data was prepared for your side."
Eitro took the data without any courtesy before turning to bid farewell to the Marquess Of Southguard.
"Chairman Xu, you should be staying here for a few days this time, right?" Before leaving, Baron Moff asked Xu Yi this.
"Un, around a week."
"Alright, I hope that you can let Sir Marquis contact you at any time because we will be looking for you soon."
"You're welcome at any time." Xu Yi said with a smile.
After the three left, the Marquess Of Southguard didn't discuss the military magic machines with Xu Yi at all, rather he directly pulled him to the magic machine industrial base on his territory.
This new base already had four factories in operation. They were a steel mill that belonged to the New Flyer, a steel bar forging factory that belonged to the Ireland Chamber of Commerce, a cement processing factory that belonged to the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, and a household magic machine assembly factory that belonged to a company in the Lampari Kingdom.
Other than the household magic machine assembly factory of the small company, the other three factories were all used by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to pave roads in the Malor Empire.
Because the Malor Empire hadn't decided to pave roads on a large scale, the output of these three factories were all used by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build high rise apartments on the Marquess Of Southguard's territory.
When the Marquess Of Southguard was inspecting the Lampari Kingdom and the Principality of Constantine, he saw these high rise apartments built exclusively by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce in many cities and was very fond of them.
Therefore, when he invited the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build the road in the Southwest Province, he also invited the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build some similar apartments on his territory.
It should be said that construction was the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's main business, while road paving was a side business.
Therefore, after accepting the job of building apartments on the Marquess Of Southguard's territory, in less than a year, a total of six apartment buildings with six floors were erected on the territory.
According to the plan, these six apartment buildings could accommodate 218 households.
The Marquess Of Southguard gave these apartments to his loyal subordinates as rewards, which was welcomed by everyone.
For these people who could only live in normal wooden houses before, now that they could live in such a high place and have such a spacious, bright, and flat house, it was like they had come to another world.
Because the apartments were well received, the Marquess Of Southguard immediately gave an order to the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to build twenty apartment buildings. At the same time, he accepted the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's proposal to build a villa area by the river on his territory.
Now the cement, steel, and other products produced by these three factories were all used on the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's construction site.
As for the household magic machine assembly factory, it could be considered a cooperation project between the New Flyer and the Lampuri Kingdom.
This factory in name belonged to a magic machine company that wasn't that famous in the Lampari Kingdom, but this factory actually belonged to Queen Seveni.
This factory would produce all the magic machines that all the magic machine companies in the Lampari Kingdom could produce, but during production, the magic machine companies in the Lampari Kingdom that participated in this cooperation would provide the parts and workers. In the end, the products would have the brands of these companies on them.
To put it simply, these companies would move their equipment production lines here and create a large household magic machine assembly factory that could produce large amounts of household magic machines at the same time.
The first benefit of this plan was that every household magic machine could be quickly assembled here, making it easy for the various magic machine companies in the Lampari Kingdom to enter the Malor Empire's market.
The second benefit was that they only needed to assemble here, so they only needed to ship the parts from the Lampari Kingdom. Therefore, when they passed the border, they would have to pay much lower tariffs compared to the entire household magic machine, saving quite a bit of cost.
As for the various household magic machines that New Flyer would produce?
Xu Yi wasn't worried about this because the Xinfei Brand household magic machines were far above the other brands, so he didn't need to worry about the high end market that belonged to them being stolen.
Not to mention that he had already signed a supply agreement with several large nobles of the Malor Empire including the Marquess Of Southguard, involving over three hundred thousand Xinfei Brand household magic machines. The total amount was over a million gold coins, far surpassing the profits of this factory that hadn't been formed yet.
The Marquess Of Southguard came with Xu Yi this time because he hoped that Xu Yi could build a household magic machine factory that belonged to New Flyer on his territory.
This was because the various Xinfei Brand household magic machines that he had ordered from New Flyer were very popular among the nobles of the Malor Empire, allowing him to earn a profit of one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins in one go.
The Marquess Of Southguard was very clear that since Xu Yi had come to the Malor Empire, New Flyer wouldn't always let him do the purchasing for them. Therefore, he hoped that New Flyer could build a factory on his territory.
This was because according to the relevant tax laws of the Malor Empire, all industries on the private territory of nobles had to pay taxes to the nobles that they belonged to.
If New Flyer built a factory here, then it would definitely provide a large amount of taxes for the Marquess Of Southguard.
The Marquess Of Southguard pointed at the large open space in front of him and said to Xu Yi, "You see, Chairman Xu, if you build a factory here, the Empire won't levy additional taxes on you. And as the Overlord, I can guarantee that New Flyer will only levy the lowest tax rate. What do you think?"
Xu Yi revealed a smile and didn't comment on this.
Of course, he was very clear about the Marquess Of Southguard's thoughts, and he also agreed with what the Marquess Of Southguard had just said. Building a factory here could save a lot of taxes.
But there was one factor that made him worried.
If a factory was built here, it would inevitably cause the relationship between New Flyer and the Marquess Of Southguard to become extremely close.
For New Flyer who wanted to enter the Malor Empire, this was a good thing. But for the current New Flyer, it might not be a good thing.
The reason was very simple. The private territory of the Marquess Of Southguard was still too small.
