After seeing Count Birmingham leave in the Magic Sedan through the window, Kennard held the report in his hand as he passed through two corridors. He came to the other corner of the Banta City City Lord Manor that was prepared for this industry forum.
After opening a very normal door, he saw Xu Yi sitting behind a large table with his head down, like he was looking over some documents.
Xu Yi's new secretary, the elven girl Cindy from the Nightsong tribe was standing on the side, looking over some documents in her hands.
"You sent away those people from the Assyrian Duchy?" Xu Yi asked without looking up.
"Un, Count Birmingham just left." Kennard replied before coming over to give him the report.
"He said that he would discuss this with the Assyrian Duke after going back and try to give sir chairman a satisfactory explanation."
"It seems like he isn't that stupid." Xu Yi looked up and revealed a faint smile.
"To be honest, when I said that we would take revenge on the Assyrian Duchy, I was just trying to scare them.
There are several countries between us and the Assyrian Duchy, there really aren't any benefits if we go that far to attack them. "
"I understand." Kennard also revealed a smile.
"This time, I just wanted to give a warning to those people who have bad ideas about our company.
But sir chairman, through this matter, I feel that we need to pay attention to this matter.
After receiving the report, I've made a rough count.
In the past five years, there have been many researchers that have left our company's Academy of Magic. Just last year alone, there were thirty seven researchers that left. "
"How many researchers does the Academy of Magic have in total?" Xu Yi asked back.
"A total of one thousand three hundred and seventy four." Kennard replied.
"Then thirty seven isn't considered high." Xu Yi raised his hand and cut off Kennard.
"I know what you want to say, you're just worried that the loss of our company's researchers will become serious.
But in fact, judging from the current situation, this loss isn't serious. Instead, it seems to me that it's already very mild.
In fact … I'm also very disappointed, because this means that the other countries and companies still don't really value the magic machine industry, to the extent that they don't value the most precious researchers of our company. "
"No, they must have taken it very seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kidnapped the researchers this time," Kennard retorted.
"Alright, let's take it that they're paying attention to us, but it's still not enough." Xu Yi rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
"Well, I'm going to focus on these things in the next few days on the industry forum."
Kennard didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mr. President, are you trying to remind others to kidnap our Chamber of Commerce's researchers?"
"No, of course not." Xu Yi thought about it and turned to Cindy, "Cindy, write it down.
He asked the Academy of Magic to work with the Military Magic Machinery Research Institute to jointly develop a more sensitive magic signal transmitter and receiver and equip every researcher with it.
I want to make sure that when our company's researchers meet an accident, they can immediately send out an alarm, so we can organize a rescue as soon as possible. "
"Yes." Cindy took out her notebook and wrote down this order word for word.
"Other than that, Kennard ….. Regarding the distribution of the company's guards and the corresponding plans, you have to pay close attention.
This time it was Winnie and Jothean's luck that was good. There was a Magic Airship that passed by and received their signal for help, so they were able to save them in time.
If it was anywhere else, they wouldn't be this lucky and we might never see them again. "
"Un ….. This is indeed a big problem."
Kennard knit his brows to think for a bit before saying with a bit of difficulty, "But sir chairman, we can send guards to countries that are strategic partners to patrol, but for countries like the Kandla Empire, the Malor Empire, or even some large kingdoms, they definitely won't be willing to accept an army that isn't under their control stationed in their territory."
"So I want you to first count the countries and regions that can do this and then make a plan that covers as much as possible.
Of course ….. the best method is to increase the distance of the magic signal, but this is a technical problem and can't be solved for now ….. "Xu Yi thought about it before waving his hand.
"Forget it, you take care of that first, we'll take care of the other things slowly."
"Un.
Then sir chairman, as for the Assyrian Duchy, what are your specific thoughts? "Kennard asked.
"What kind of price do you want the Assyrian Duchy to pay?
How should I reply to them? "
"Remember three things." Xu Yi raised three fingers.
"First, I need the Assyrian Duchy to show the right attitude, you should understand this better than me.
Second, we need specific compensation.
It's for Joshian and Winnie, as well as for our company's officials.
Third, there are some follow-up plans that will depend on the situation, so there's no rush for now. "
"Okay." Kennard nodded his head and noted it down.
After explaining these, Xu Yi fell into deep thought again.
Kennard waited patiently for a while. Then, Xu Yi suddenly tapped the table with his fingers. It seemed like he was asking Kennard, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself.
"You say … even an inconspicuous small principality like the Principality of Assyr has taken the risk to do such a thing. Should I be more generous in this industry forum …"
Kennard and Cindy looked at each other. For a while, they didn't know how to react.

A week later, the fifth Sines Magic Industry Forum came to a successful end.
This Sines Continent's magic machine industry forum was without a doubt a very successful meeting because according to the statistics, in this industry forum, after the representatives of the various countries and companies discussed with each other, there were over four thousand large and small cooperation projects. The amount of orders involved was a shocking one and six billion gold coins and the total amount of cooperation was estimated to be over four billion gold coins.
In the history of the Sines Continent, although there had been similar business gatherings before, there had never been a business gatherings that had gathered this many countries and companies. There had also never been a business gatherings that had involved such a shocking amount of transactions.
When the Sines Magic Industry Forum was held last year, the total transaction amount was only less than 500 million gold coins. Now that a year had passed, this number had increased by several times.
Just based on this, everyone understood that the magic machine industry forum held by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a powerful business conference with practical significance.
Moreover, this also proved from another angle that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had developed the magic machine industry with a large amount of potential.
Almost as soon as this data was published in the newspapers by the industry forum, there were countless companies related to the magic machine industry that appeared in Sines.
Even the Chimera Chamber of Commerce that had always been aloof on the continent and was also the largest company on the continent announced that they would be investing in the magic machine industry in the Kandla Empire. This meant that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce couldn't hold back and would be joining the most popular industry.
For the various countries and companies that participated in this industry forum, their biggest harvest wasn't the transactions that were made, but rather the policies that New Flyer announced on the industry forum.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's chairman Xu Yi had represented the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to announce on the industry forum that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be releasing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's magic machine technology in the next two years. This included the agricultural magic machine technology that countless countries and companies had developed, as well as the production magic machine technology.
Xu Yi promised that the New Flyer would set a public price for these two technologies. Any country or company that needed this technology, or even an individual could buy it.
Moreover, the New Flyer would follow the usual practices and ensure that the users who bought this technology could grasp it, allowing them to make agricultural magic machines and production magic machines.
Of course, according to the usual practices, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would only release the basic low end technology and wouldn't sell the mid to high end technology.
According to what Xu Yi said, this was to let the other countries and companies work hard to develop their own technology, allowing them to have their own technology.
Through everyone's research, the magic machine industry could develop faster in the Sines market.
Regarding Xu Yi's public statement, most people snorted in disdain in private.
Pei!
What letting others work hard to develop their own technology, isn't it just because your New Flyer is afraid that if you sell your high end technology, others will catch up to you and you won't be able to sell your New Flyer products?
This was just basic business knowledge, but Xu Yi said it in such a dignified manner, it really made people feel disgusted!
However, no matter what they thought, everyone cheered for Xu Yi's decision on the surface.
In the end, the New Flyer had most of the magic machine technology. If the New Flyer didn't announce it and relied on the other countries and companies to develop it, it would be hard to imagine the amount of time, effort, and money it would take.
Compared to this, even if it wasn't cheap to buy the technology from the New Flyer, it was still much more worth it.
