Chapter 99 Negotiations with the Military Department
Sewini's face seemed to be a little smirk, and with the seriousness in her eyes, it made people unable to tell whether she was joking.
Xu Yi quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are really good at joking. I am a loyal and law-abiding citizen. How could I think of rebellion? Besides, our chamber of commerce has only recruited less than 300 magicians this time, so how can we have the ability to rebel?"
"Do you still think there are three hundred magicians?" Sevini glared at Xu Yi lightly. "You must know that even in the Kingdom army, the number of magicians in a legion is only 500. And don't forget that there is still a great magician in your New Flying Chamber of Commerce!"
"Your Highness, you can't be so wronged by me." Xu Yi quickly called out. "Our Chamber of Commerce recruited so many magicians because of work needs, but it has nothing to do with rebellion. Even the Great Magician Camilla is only responsible for studying magic machinery in the Chamber of Commerce. Do you think I dare to direct him to rebel?"
"Of course you dare not." Sevini shook his head and then sighed softly: "But some people think you dare. Do you know that because of this, someone has already spoken in front of his father that your New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has not only recruited so many magicians, but also so many foreign tribes. It must be a bad intention. I hope that the father will be vigilant against the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce and even supervise it directly."
Xu Yi was stunned and frowned: "This person is too slandering, right? Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just doing business honestly. The recruitment of foreign tribes is just a fond of the special abilities of foreign tribes. Why are there any ill intentions? I think His Majesty the King will not believe this kind of nonsense, right?"
"Of course my father won't listen to these words. But this means that as your new flight chamber's reputation increases, someone has noticed you and wants to do something to you. I hope you can be vigilant in the future and not leave too many handles for others. For example... this time your factory recruited another 300 elves, but you have not submitted their labor certificate application to the Kingdom Council. This matter can actually be regarded as a proof of your ill-behavior."
Xu Yi slapped his head and laughed, "I've been busy all this time, and I forgot it for a while. I'll do this. I'll count the list in the past two days and then apply for a labor certificate for them. I promise not to worry about us anymore."
"It would be strange if you don't worry." Sewini sighed softly, shook his head, and took out a document from his small bag with him to Xu Yi. "I have already submitted the application for you. You just need to fill in the list and I will fill in their names."
Xu Yi took the application and looked at it, and found that all the procedures were actually very complete, only one list was missing.
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, the princess. You really take care of me. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you."
"No need for you to express it, just do what you and the New Flight Chamber of Commerce are doing in Bonta City now," Sevini smiled. "I heard that the great magician Camilla joined your New Flight Chamber of Commerce because he found that what you New Flight Chamber of Commerce did can improve the lives of ordinary people in Bonta City. This is the same for me. As long as you and the New Flight Chamber of Commerce can continue to do this, I will always support you."
Xu Yi shrugged: "Since everyone can see that what we and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are doing are good for everyone. Why do some people maliciously slander us?"
"Because this benefit has nothing to do with them, and because their position is different from yours."
Sevini responded vaguely, but did not continue to explain. He waved to Xu Yi and took Xu Yi to another hidden room in the city lord's mansion where the two met.
There were two people sitting in the room. Seeing Sevini enter the door, they immediately stood up and saluted Sevini.
Xu Yi's eyes swept over the two of them and found that the thinner ones of them revealed a sense of vigor in their every move. They stood there straight and straight, without squinting their eyes, and could recognize that he should be from the army at a glance.
Another middle-aged man with a moderate figure had a smile on his face, looking very kind, just like an ordinary businessman.
"Let me introduce it. This is Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Sevini pointed at Xu Yi and introduced it to the two.
"President Xu, I have heard of your name for a long time. I feel very honored to finally see the real person today." The middle-aged man, like a businessman, immediately stretched out his hands and held Xu Yi's right hand tightly, with a close look on his face. "Let me introduce myself. I am Major Maiconli of the Logistics Department of the Kingdom Military Department. I mainly help the soldiers in the Kingdom manage the logistics, that is, helping the brothers buy clothes they wear, eat, etc. Anyway, they are just a mess."
Xu Yi put his other hand on, held it with Major Maconli, and showed a passionate smile.
"So, everyone is actually the same. As the president, I am just responsible for managing these miscellaneous tasks for the employees in the chamber of commerce."
Major Maiconley laughed: "That's great. President Xu and I must have a lot of things to talk about."
Xu Yi smiled and thought to himself that Major Maconli was so modest, but in fact, the Military Logistics Department is the most economical part of the King's Military Department. Major Maconli can be responsible for the logistics department. Putting aside personal abilities, he must have a very deep background.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yi looked at the other person.
The man saw that he was about forty years old. Seeing Xu Yi's eyes looking at him, he did not express too much. He just nodded slightly to Xu Yi and said expressionlessly: "My name is Sakhas."
It was obvious that Sachas's personality was completely different from Major Maconli, Xu Yibing didn't say much, but just smiled and nodded, "I'm glad to see you."
Seeing that the three of them knew each other, Sevini signaled everyone to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "President Xu, this time I came to you with Major Maconli and Major Sachas, just to ask you about the arsenal. I hope you can cooperate with you."
"It's easy to say." Xu Yi nodded and looked at Major Maconley.
Judging from the expressions of the three people, the main question this time should be the head of the Military Logistics Department.
Sure enough, Maikonli coughed lightly, tidied up the expression on his face, curled his smile, and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, let me know a good news first. The arsenal built by the military headquarters has been completed now, and it is now only lacking the corresponding magic machine tool equipment and can be put into use. I would like to ask, when will the magic machine tool equipment for the production of armor and weapons that you promised to provide will be delivered?"
"In fact, after discussing and deciding to establish an arsenal with His Highness the last time, our chamber of commerce has been secretly producing corresponding magic machine tools and equipment. Now, a series of magic machine tools and equipment that have been started at the same time on both production lines can be delivered at any time." Xu Yi replied.
Maconli and Sachas looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
"Then President Xu, according to the agreement you signed with His Highness the Princess Wang, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must provide corresponding technical personnel in addition to providing magic machine tools and equipment to assist and guide the military department to master the technology and various specifications of how to use these magic machine tools. Are you ready for these technicians?" asked Maconley again.
"There is no problem in this regard. I selected the corresponding technical workers from the 100 slaves under my name, because their identities can ensure that they will not disclose the secrets. Of course, for the sake of caution, I propose to transfer these slaves to His Highness the Princess, and the Princess' Palace will control them. I believe that this will make it easier for the military to control it." Xu Yi said.
Sevini, Maconli, and Sahas all had a little shocked expression.
Maconli couldn't help but cough. In fact, Xu Yi had told Sewini that the corresponding technical workers would choose from his slaves. During this negotiation with Xu Yi, Maconli had originally planned to propose this condition on behalf of the military headquarters, but he did not expect that Xu Yi would take the initiative to propose it now.
"President Xu, I have to say, you are very wise." Maconley praised, turned to Sewini and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness, Princess?"
Sevini looked at Xu Yi deeply and nodded: "Okay, just do what President Xu said, and these slaves will be transferred to my name. However, President Xu, based on my understanding of you, you should not give me these slaves for no reason, right?"
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness the Queen, you really know me very well. Indeed, these slaves are not only my precious private property, but also very important technical workers in our chamber of commerce. Suddenly, if they are missing, it will be a huge loss for me and our chamber of commerce. If Your Highness the Queen and the Military Affairs Department do not give me some appropriate compensation, it would be a bit unreasonable."
Maiconli laughed: "President Xu is right. There is no free lunch in this world. Since President Xu has paid the price, he is qualified to make the conditions. President Xu, please offer your conditions. As long as it is not too much, now that the Queen is here, she can definitely make the decision to agree to you."
Sewini didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to express his approval.
Xu Yi looked at the three people who were a little nervous and smiled and said, "Don't worry, of course I won't mention excessive conditions. Well... this condition is very simple. In the future, all the minerals of the Kingdom military will be mined by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the territory controlled by the Sak Kingdom."
The three of them all changed their faces.
Sewini blurted out almost without thinking: "This is impossible!"
