Hogan's report was successfully sent to Xu Yi five days later.
Xu Yi carefully read through the report and didn't immediately reply.
The magic machine industrial base in Stratholme City wasn't exclusively invested by New Flyer. There were also other companies from the Lampari Kingdom that had shares. Moreover, it involved the Marquess Of Southguard and the nobles of the Malor Empire that he had introduced. Therefore, Xu Yi couldn't make the decision alone.
Moreover, this matter involved the Beastmen. If it was a normal human, they wouldn't have any misgivings about waging war against the Beastmen. However, Xu Yi had always maintained a cooperative attitude with other races.
Moreover, New Flyer already had a very harmonious cooperative relationship with the Beastmen in the Black Rice Wasteland. The Beastmen played a huge role in the various departments of New Flyer, so naturally, Xu Yi didn't have any prejudice against the Beastmen.
Franklin's proposal to attack the Beastmen tribes in the northern part of the Malor Empire and capture them as slaves was something that Xu Yi didn't agree with.
Through his experience with the Beastmen in the Black Rice Wasteland, the Beastmen were a race that could be moved by benefits. They weren't much different from humans.
If he could make contact with the beastmen tribes to the north of the Marlow Empire, it wasn't impossible to do the same as the beastmen tribes of the Black Rice Wasteland. He could recruit the beastmen tribes and make them work for the magic machine industrial base.
In this report, what Xu Yi cared about the most was Franklin's suggestion of attacking the beastmen tribes and even enslaving the beastmen in those tribes.
Xu Yi was very suspicious of Franklin's motive for taking the initiative to make this proposal.
According to Xu Yi's inference, this proposal wasn't Franklin's idea. Instead, it came from the Marquess Of Southguard or even the Malor Empire behind the Marquess Of Southguard.
Unlike the Kandla Empire, the Malor Empire hadn't personally witnessed the performance of New Flyer's military magic machines on the battlefield. Therefore, they didn't have a good impression of it.
Although the Malor Empire's military had indeed purchased a portion of the military magic machines from New Flyer and New Flyer was gradually delivering them, the Malor Empire's military was still in the initial stages of understanding the military magic machines.
Then it wasn't strange that they were trying to instigate the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to make a move and directly experience the use of the military magic machines on the battlefield.
Of course, this was only Xu Yi's conjecture and not necessarily the Malor Empire's military's real thoughts.
However, in Xu Yi's opinion, this wasn't impossible.
After all, showing the power of the military magic machines to the Malor Empire would be very beneficial for New Flyer to continue to promote the military magic machines to the Malor Empire, as well as for the Malor Empire to pay more attention to New Flyer.
Therefore, in conclusion, it didn't matter how they treated the Beastmen tribes in the north of the Malor Empire.
After understanding this, Xu Yi gathered the upper echelons of New Flyer and had a brief recollection of this matter. Then, as the president of New Flyer, he sent a letter to the Lampari Kingdom's merchant guilds that had invested in the magic machine industrial base outside of Stratholme City. Finally, he wrote a private letter to the Marquess Of Southguard to explain his plans.
After doing all this, Xu Yi conveyed his final decision to Hogan.
While this order for Hogan was still on the way, Xu Yi had already left the New Flight Commerce Main Base and entered the Kingdom of Ruhr.
However, he wasn't here to meet with King Teruc or the important figures of the Kingdom of Ruhr to discuss cooperation.
Because this time, he brought his entire family, including Liz, Linda, Agnes, Tvisti, Freya, Sandy, and Harvey to the Azshara Tribe located in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
Because his youngest son was still young, he was left in the Principality of Constantine and was accompanied by Betty and Carol.
As for the main reason for coming to the Azshara Tribe this time, it was because of Elder Undine's invitation. Moreover, Stiel had led her subordinates to film a documentary about the history of the elven race and hadn't returned home for half a month. Xu Yi brought his family and children here to reunite with her and also bring the children out for a trip.
Apart from this, Agnes and Tvisti came from the Nightsong tribe and the Moon Shadow tribe respectively. Coming together this time could be considered another official contact between the three elven tribes, the Nightsong tribe, the Moon Shadow tribe, and the Azshara Tribe. Therefore, when Agnes and Tvisti entered the Azshara Tribe, they received a warm welcome from Elder Undine.
Of course, the one that made Elder Undine the most warm was still Xu Yi.
After meeting, Xu Yi and Elder Undine casually chatted for a bit before changing the topic to the elven town outside.
"Elder Undine, when I came in from outside, I found that the flow of people in the town has decreased quite a bit compared to last time." Xu Yi said in a worried voice.
Elder Undine nodded with a faint smile, "That's right.
Since the Kandla Empire tried to invade the Kingdom of Ruhr last year, the number of people coming to our elven town to play has decreased by quite a bit.
We didn't have any guests at all before and it has only gradually recovered recently, but it clearly isn't as good as before. "
Xu Yi shrugged and helplessly said, "There's no other way. Things like traveling are too affected by the overall situation.
The Kingdom of Ruhr is unstable, so there will naturally be less people who want to travel. "
"He, he, this is all thanks to your New Flyer's great assistance to the Kingdom of Ruhr, otherwise the Kingdom of Ruhr wouldn't be able to hold on and our elven town wouldn't be able to hold on either."
"That's not worth thanking." Xu Yi waved his hand.
"Elder Undine, I suggested to you before that we should promote this elven town to more places and make it into something like a chain of theme parks. What do you think now?"
"It's a good suggestion, but I don't think the time is right." Elder Undine shook her head.
"Why?" Xu Yi was stunned.
"Because there aren't many people like Chairman Xu who can accept us elves without any reservations."
Elder Undine looked straight into Xu Yi's eyes. Her expression was gentle, but her eyes were very serious as she said, "If we elves promote this ourselves, it will be very difficult to gain the approval and support of the humans. The chances of failure are too high."
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xu Yi frowned.
"We don't have the capital to give it a try." Elder Undine sighed softly.
"Chairman Xu, after you made this suggestion last time, I've asked around about the price of goods in your human world. I've found that if you want to build an elven town in another place, you'll need to invest at least seven hundred thousand gold coins.
Although our tribe has made some money recently, it's far from enough to invest in this. "
"Money is not a problem." Xu Yi shook his head.
"As long as you are willing, you can ask New Flyer for financing or direct loans at any time. I promise to help you to the best of my ability."
"No." Elder Undine shook her head softly.
"We elves don't like to owe people things, especially humans."
Xu Yi helplessly rolled his eyes, "Elder Undine, I thought that you were a very open minded elven elder, so why do you still have such rotten ideas?
You have to know that the Nightsong tribe and the Moon Shadow Tribe have asked our New Flyer for a lot of help in the beginning. Elder Elucía and Elder Lisanya didn't oppose this at all. "
"So that's why they sent Agnes and Tvisti to your side, right?" Elder Undine revealed a faint smile.
"Don't argue. If it wasn't like this, do you think our elves would easily accept marrying humans?"
Xu Yi could only be speechless at this.
It seems like elder Undine had a deep misunderstanding about Undine and Tvisti marrying him.
But her words weren't without reason.
Agnes could be said to have been in contact with him for a long time. They had feelings for each other, so they were willing to marry.
Tvisti was clearly sent to his side by Elder Lisanya and when he proposed marriage to Elder Lisanya, Elder Lisanya didn't hesitate at all. It could be seen that her original idea was for Tvisti and Xu Yi to marry.
"Other than the problem of funds, the most important problem is your New Flyer." Elder Undine then said.
"Oh?
Is there a problem with our company? "Xu Yi asked in a curious voice.
"It's not that there is a problem with your company's ability, but rather ….. your company isn't strong enough right now." Elder Undine explained.
"Chairman Xu, you can be considered one of the few humans that I can trust, so I can cooperate with your New Flyer to create the elven theme park chain you mentioned.
But the places where your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has influence right now are only the nearby two or three countries.
And in the other countries, your influence is far from enough. "
"So you don't think it's safe to open this theme park in other places?" Xu Yi then asked.
"Yes.
You humans are very fickle. If you open a theme park in another country, you could encounter a crisis at any time. "
Elder Undine's words left Xu Yi speechless.
Indeed, humans were a race that could easily change their minds.
It was like this on Earth and it was also like this on Sines.
Xu Yi had suffered a lot because of this, so of course he couldn't refute elder Undine's point of view.
Seeing Xu Yi remain silent, elder Undine revealed a strange smile. She reached into her chest and took out a document for Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, this is a proposal I made to invest in an elven town in the Principality of Constantine. Can you take a look and see if there are any problems?
This is the first time I've made a proposal based on the human model, so I hope you can help me take a look. "
Xu Yi looked at elder Undine in shock, "Weren't you just worried about encountering a crisis in other countries?"
"The Principality of Constantine is completely under the control of your New Flyer, so I'm not too worried about this problem." Elder Undine smiled.
"But you just said that you don't have money ….."
"I can't accept borrowing money from humans for now, but I can accept exchanging what we already have for funds."
"Ah?" Xu Yi blinked.
Elder Undine, you ….. want to sell me something? "
"Yes.
Our tribe has some very special things, and we also know some secrets that you humans don't know. I think Chairman Xu will be very interested. "
