Chapter 20 Carte blanche

"According to statistics, all of the 36 provinces in the Kander Empire have been laid out in magic communication networks, and the magic signal coverage area has exceeded 83% of the entire Kander Empire. It can be said that the goal of "long-distance magic communication can be carried out anywhere in the Kander Empire" has been initially achieved..."

"Wait..." Xu Yi raised his hand and interrupted Freia's report. "The coverage area is more than 83%, which means that there are still 17% of the places that have not achieved magic signal coverage. So what is the realization that 'the long-distance magic communication can be carried out in any place'?"

Freya couldn't help rolling her eyes, then immediately corrected her expression and coughed lightly, "There are places that have not yet been able to achieve magic signal coverage, either because of the complex terrain, the magic signal tower cannot be built, or because of obstacles from various local areas, the progress of the project has been delayed, and even the construction cannot be started at all."

Speaking of this, Freya paused and frowned slightly.

"It's strange to say, why is there such a situation? Some people are unwilling to accept magic signal network coverage? Don't they think it's convenient to conduct remote communication?"

Xu Yi shrugged and said helplessly: "There is no way. Even now, there are still rumors among the people that laying magic signal towers will lead to people's mental control. When we set up magic signal towers, we have not only encountered such obstacles in the Kandra Empire, but also encountered them many times in other countries."

"No? It's an era now, and there are still people who believe in this kind of thing?" Freia's eyes widened, looking incredible.

"Remember, don't overestimate the perception of ordinary people." Xu Yi explained to Freia seriously. "They are easily agitated and deceived, so it is not surprising to believe that such a fundamentally unfounded thing. In addition to this, I have also seen many more incredible things than this. You will not be surprised if you have come into contact with it in the future."

Freia tilted her head and thought for a while, but still felt a little unacceptable.

However, she knew that Xu Yi would not fool her in such a thing, so she did not continue to worry about this issue. Instead, she felt aroused in her heart and asked, "Dad, according to what you meant just now, is it that there are people with ulterior motives behind these people being controlled by them?"

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I haven't said this before. What is the truth? You can investigate it yourself in the future."

Freia snorted softly, knowing that this was another test given to her by her father.

"Okay, no matter this. According to data from various aspects, the initial project has been basically completed and the coverage of the magic communication network has been basically achieved. If our Chamber of Commerce continues to stay in the Kander Empire, due to various factors, there are actually not many things that can be changed."

"So you think now is a good time to hand over the subsequent layout and management of the magic communication network within the Kander Empire to the Kander Empire itself?" Xu Yi asked.

"From the perspective of profit, it is not the best time, but the worst time." Freia shook her head. "After these decades of cooperation, our Chamber of Commerce and the Kander Empire finally completed the magic communication network in the Kander Empire. Now is the period of large-scale promotion of magic communication to ordinary people in the Kander Empire, and it is also a key growth period for making a large amount of profits through the operation of the magic communication network. If you withdraw now, it is equivalent to giving up the foreseeable and extremely huge profits to the Kander Empire."

Xu Yi showed an admiring smile and nodded slightly, "No. So what does it mean to make this report to me now? Are you not planning to agree to the request of the Candela Empire?"

Freia giggled: "I didn't agree to the people in the Candela Empire. I just told them that they could discuss it."

"So after careful consideration, how do you plan to discuss with them?" Xu Yi continued to ask with interest.

Freia coughed lightly, righting her face and putting on a serious expression.

"Sir, after my careful research and consideration, I think that our chamber of commerce cannot withdraw from the subsequent operation of the Magic Communication Network of the Candela Empire, but we can consider handing over the subsequent laying of the Magic Communication Network to the Candela Empire."

"Well, keep going, tell me your specific thoughts."

"The subsequent laying of magic communication networks has been made very clear in my report just now. The places where magic communication networks are not yet laid are not laid. Most of them are because the terrain is too bad or the local people are opposed. In any aspect, if we continue, we will encounter great difficulties. We invest a lot of money and manpower to this, but it is difficult to convert them into actual melee combat. If we hand over this place to the Candela Empire, we can not only let our chamber of commerce get out, but also better promote the laying of magic communication networks in these places."

Freia showed a sly smile.

"Since it is the people of the Kander Empire who objected, then the Kander Empire will solve this problem. It is much easier than intervening in a foreign chamber of commerce, right?"

"From this perspective, that's right." Xu Yi nodded and asked back: "But handing over the follow-up work to the Kander Empire, it means that you have decided to agree to the Kander Empire's request and transfer the magic communication network-related technologies to the Kander Empire. Do you understand what consequences will be brought about by agreeing to this condition?"

"Of course I understand." Freia said proudly. "The transfer of magic communication network-related technologies to the Candela Empire means that our Chamber of Commerce's technology relaxation in this regard will inevitably cause the same reaction from other countries in the mainland, and ultimately let us fully liberalize related technologies."

"This means that in the future, other countries or chambers of commerce will also have the ability to lay magic communication networks, and our chamber of commerce will no longer be able to control all magic communication networks alone as we are now." Xu Yi said seriously. "Do you know how much impact this will have on our chamber of commerce?"

"Is the impact a lot? I don't think so?" Freia smiled with a relaxed expression. "Sir, you have listed the laying of magic communication networks as the same national infrastructure industry as paving roads many years ago, so in fact, this thing should have been promoted vigorously by various countries on the mainland themselves, right?"

"Then do you understand why I have not let go of relevant technologies in this area before and let various countries on the mainland promote it themselves?" Xu Yi asked again.

"It's very simple. First, all countries did not have the ability to do this before. Second, they did not have the corresponding determination."

"Then do you think it's OK now?"

"Of course. After the past ten years of rapid development, almost all countries on the mainland have made great progress in the magic industry. Large empires like the Kander Empire have long had a basically complete magic industry system. Only by obtaining corresponding technologies, they can quickly master the method of laying magic communication networks."

"Do you think they will promote it well after they get the technology?"

"Of course they will, and I'm sure they will be more willing than when our Chamber of Commerce assisted in promotion." Freia's expression was full of confidence.

"Why are you so sure?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.

"Because of profits," Freia responded immediately. "I just said that with the widespread promotion and popularization of magic communications, operating magic communication networks will generate extremely huge profits. If the Candela Empire wants to obtain these profits, or if it divides a part of it, it must master some or even all of the magic communication networks, so they must be much more anxious than us."

Xu Yi leaned back slightly, leaned his back on the sofa, and looked at Freia with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

After Freia had contacted the Candela Empire Envoy, she had conducted such in-depth analysis and consideration of the whole matter in just two days. Although it was indispensable for the assistance of other senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce, it could also fully demonstrate her outstanding abilities.

If she is willing to really calm down and plan to take over the position of president, then with her intelligence, after a period of training, she will definitely be a very suitable candidate.

The only regret is that she has not been able to calm down so far, so that the stones in the hearts of many people in the Chamber of Commerce cannot be completely implemented.

Of course, because Xu Yi had made an agreement with Freia a few years ago that she would not ask her to make a decision until she turned 25 years old, so Xu Yi would not urge her, but could only guide her as much as possible, let her get more contact with the specific affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and strive to cultivate her interest in this area.

Judging from the current results, she is not particularly disgusted with handling these matters, but she is not very interested.

If this time it would be worth it to deal with the things that the Candela Empire demanded.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi made a decision in his heart.

"Well...Freia, your analysis makes sense. I have no objection. Now, as the president of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, I grant you full authority to handle this matter and related follow-ups. As long as it is related to this matter, you do not need to ask for my opinion. Any decision of your decision represents the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. Do you understand what I mean?"

Freia blinked, not showing the excitement and joy of being entrusted with heavy responsibilities or holding power. Instead, she looked at Xu Yi with a suspicious look. After a while, she snorted softly, and she looked a little dissatisfied.

"You know that this matter is very troublesome to deal with, and it is impossible to handle it in a few months. And it is almost impossible to complete the follow-up. I am afraid that it will not be able to solve it for more than ten years, or even decades. You made this arrangement clearly because you wanted to tie me up tightly, right?"

Xu Yi spread his hands and said, "I don't mean to limit you. If you don't want to deal with it, as long as you arrange the subsequent work, you can get out at any time. Don't worry, I don't mean to use this matter to drag you until you turn 25."

Freia's eyes rolled and she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, since you have given it to me with all your power, if I cause any trouble, you can't scold me." (To be continued)
