Volu 1 Chapter 81 How about I marry you?
The horse carriage’s wheels rolled over the tiles and it made faint sounds, as it headed into the night in a relaxed manner.
The compartnt was as silent as the night outside. Akali who was always filled with words had been silent since coming into the carriage for an unknown reason, as her head was down while she was thinking sothing. Xu Yi was leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, revealing an exhausted look on his face.
This first eting with president Rank’s group could be considered both sides being happy on the outside, with both sides being satisfied with the result.
But Xu Yi as very clear that this effect was very hard to achieve.
Based on the display of president Rank and the others, they had already made up their minds. They wanted to swallow the Frestech Chamber of Comrce.
But their table manners were just too ugly, actually without even waiting for Xu Yi to agree to joining the Business Union, they proposed that Xu Yi take out the core technology of the Frestech Chamber of Comrce.
If Xu Yi didn’t have other plans, he would have slapped the table and left.
Thinking of the joyful expression president Rank and the others had when he agreed to transfer the technology, Xu Yi couldn’t help giving a cold laugh in his heart.
Those fellows, they made it sound so nice, saying that as long as the Frestech Chamber of Comrce joined the Business Union, he would be able to enjoy the many benefits and that he would be able to cooperate with the companies of the Business Union. But if one looked at it closer, they would find that they had dug a large hole for him to jump in.
If Xu Yi was really that stupid, sharing the technology of the Frestech Chamber of Comrce, with the difference in ability between a real large company and the Frestech Chamber of Comrce, they would have been swallowed not long after.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt it was strange. Properly speaking, those fellows were chairn of large companies, so their minds wouldn’t be weak, so did they really think Xu Yi was that stupid?
Thinking about it, Xu Yi understood.
Those fellows didn’t think Xu Yi as stupid, but they were certain that the conditions they gave as a large enticent to Xu Yi.
To Xu Yi’s Frestech Chamber of Comrce, being able to join the Business Union was already very prestigious matter. Being able to cooperate with those large companies, they would be incomparably lucky. If it was another small company like the Frestech Chamber of Comrce, they definitely wouldn’t reject this kind of enticent.
But why did they never consider that Xu Yi’s image of the developnt of magic machines had already surpassed everyone else on the Sines Continent. He was already thinking about creating a complete industrial system on the Sines Continent, how could he be enticed by these small enticents.
Those fellows had dug a hole for Xu Yi to jump in, but they never would have thought that Xu Yi had dug an even bigger hole for them.
The plan Xu Yi took out in the end for president Rank in the end was simple because on the paper, Xu Yi proposed that he would share the Magic Fan building technology with all the mbers of the union. If the other mbers of the union wanted to build Magic Fans, the Frestech Chamber of Comrce would support them with technology and would help the other mbers establish a production line.
The only condition that Xu Yi raised was that when the other mbers sold a Magic Fan, they would have to pay the Frestech Chamber of Comrce five silver coins each ti.
Compared to the two gold coin price of the Magic Fan and the over a gold coin profit, five gold coins weren’t even worth ntioning.
So president Rank was very surprised because he thought the condition Xu Yi raised was too simple.
Of course he was clear on the fact that asking the Frestech Chamber of Comrce to transfer their magic machine technology was a very excessive matter, so Xu Yi would definitely raise many conditions. But he never would have thought that Xu Yi would only raise this simple condition.
From what president Rank could see, Xu Yi’s plan was basically the Frestech Chamber of Comrce giving up the large market of Magic Fans.
This was because as long as the Frestech Chamber of Comrce gave up the Magic Fan production thod, with the powerful might of their companies, they could easily squeeze the Frestech Chamber of Comrce out of the market.
Even with this condition, with the Frestech Chamber of Comrce gaining five silver coins for each Magic Fan sold, compared to the large profit of the Magic Fans, these five gold coins was just the fat skimd off the soup.
After seriously reading through Xu Yi’s plan and after questioning him a bit, president Rank and the chairn of the other five large companies were all filled with zeal over Xu Yi’s plan. President Rank even imdiately announced that the Frestech Chamber of Comrce was joining the Business Union.
Although Xu Yi had only given up the technology for the Magic Fans, these people knew that president Rank wanting Xu Yi to give up all his magic machines was like the lion opening its mouth too wide. No matter how dumb Xu Yi was, he would never agree to this matter.
Having him give up this Magic Fan technology was already taking the most crucial first step.
With the first step, there could be a second and a third.
Anyway, Xu Yi had already joined the Business Union and there was ti and opportunity to slowly swallow the technologies the Frestech Chamber of Comrce had one by one.
After clinking wine glasses to celebrate, chairman Rank’s group was happy, but Xu Yi’s smile was happier.
These fellows thought that they had earned a large bargain getting this Magic Fan technology, but they never knew that in Xu Yi’s eyes, they had fallen into Xu Yi’s hole.
Actually before these fellows, there was another company that had already obtained the Magic Fan technology, which was Saltan City’s Farsak Chamber of Comrce.
Right now, the Farsak Chamber of Comrce with the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s help had already established a Magic Fan production line and it could be said they had many of the core technology for the Magic Fan. Moreover, they had sold over three thousand Magic Fans last sumr, earning a profit of over three thousand gold coins.
And this as profit earned while being suppressed by the Leo Chamber of Comrce. Now that the Leo Chamber of Comrce had many serious quality issues, the Farsak Chamber of Comrce’s Magic Fan sales would increase by a large amount next year.
On the surface, it seed like the Farsak Chamber of Comrce who had grasped the Magic Fan technology was already earning a stable profit from the Magic Fan technology. It seed like the Frestech Chamber of Comrce had lost a large market in Saltan City because of this.
But Xu Yi saw this as a completely different matter.
The Farsak Chamber of Comrce’s Magic Fan production line completely relied on the magic production machine the Frestech Chamber of Comrce gave them. Just based on selling these magic production machine, the Frestech Chamber of Comrce had already earned several hundred from the Farsak Chamber of Comrce. And compared to this sale, adding in the maintenance and repairs for these magic production machines, they could earn even more profit.
The more important thing as that because the Farsak Chamber of Comrce used the magic production machines the Frestech Chamber of Comrce provided, it ant the Magic Fans produced by chairman Farsak were all produced by the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s standards.
For example, there were two kinds of screws currently being used in the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s second generation Variable Speed Magic Fan. A small three centiter screw and a large five centiter screw. The Magic Fans produced by the Farsak Chamber of Comrce used these to kinds of screw because their Magic Thread Rolling Machines ca from the Frestech Chamber of comrce, so they couldn’t change the shape of the screws at all.
Not to ntion that Xu Yi had carefully designed the Magic Fan, so casually changing it would cause large problems.
In short, the Farsak Chamber of Comrce was earning a large profit from these Magic Fans, but they were conforming to the Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s standards because of these Magic Fans. If they couldn’t rely on themselves to make any large technological breakthroughs, they would be led by the nose by the Frestech Chamber of Comrce.
But how could breakthroughs in technology be as easy as talking about them?
Xu Yi could design these magic machines with the powerful chanical engineering knowledge and practical knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years from earth. The Sines Continent didn’t have this kind of foundation at all, so how could they compare with Xu Yi on this matter at all?
Now that president Rank’s group wanted to obtain the magic machines technology from the Frestech Chamber of Comrce, naturally Xu Yi would not reject them.
Of course it was impossible giving them all the technology related to magic machines at once, so Xu Yi had to throw a rich bone like the Magic Fan technology to satisfy their hunger first.
They would definitely be very satisfied gnawing their teeth on this bone, but as for whether they can take their teeth out or not…...Xu Yi wouldn’t promise anything.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn’t help laughing.
Akali who had her head down as she thinking about sothing suddenly heard Xu Yi’s strange laughter and couldn’t help looking at him. She asked in a curious voice, “Sir chairman, what are you suddenly laughing at?”
“Ah? Ah…..nothing, I was just thinking about sothing.” Xu Yi ca back to his senses and rubbed his face. He looked at Akali and suddenly rembered that this little girl had been silent the entire ti, so he couldn’t help being curious, “That’s right, what are you thinking about? You’ve been quiet the entire ti, it’s not like your normal style.”
“I…..” Akali opened her mouth, but she suddenly gave a sigh and looked down. After a while, she said in a depressed voice, “Sir chairman, I just suddenly felt that there is a large difference between my life and rich people’s lives, but I also envy them. What do you think I should do……”
Xu Yi couldn’t help smiling, it seed like Akali had been enticed by the banquet.
As a normal girl from a normal family, Akali had seen the lives of rich people since she was a young girl. Being stimulated by this banquet wasn’t strange at all.
Thinking about it, Xu Yi answered, “There are to thods. One is to find a way to make yourself rich and the other is to marry a rich person, which will you choose?”
Akali looked up at Xu Yi in a daze before saying with a frown, “Sir chairman, you really are straightforward. I thought that you would comfort by saying that the lives of rich people aren’t that good and they also have many things that trouble them, but I never thought you would use such ugly words.”
Xu Yi gave a shrug, “Good words are things that little boys say to little girls. Although it’s the truth, as an old man who is already twenty seven and is called an uncle by Still, I feel that saying things like this doesn’t have any aning at all.”
Akali couldn’t help laughing and rolling her eyes at Xu Yi before asking, “Then this uncle, what words do you think have aning?”
Xu Yi thought about it before saying with a serious look, “No matter what, we have to admit that rich people are better off in terms of material compared to normal people. It is very normal for you to envy them, it is normal for humans. But, unless you are born into a rich family or money falls out of the sky, allowing you to enjoy a rich person’s life, you can only use the two thods I told you about. Which one will you pick?”
Akali looked over and suddenly gave Xu Yi a sweet smile.
“Sir chairman, how about I marry you?”
