Chapter 33 Technology R&D is the Key
"Sir, do you still need to ask the elders for such an obvious fact?" Yanis looked up at Xu Yi with confusion. "If I hadn't agreed with you, it would be impossible for the tribesmen to come to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. For example, if I hadn't really accepted you, how could I stay by your side?"
"You are different from them." Xu Yi shook his head. "You are the first elf I came into contact with. The reason why I was with me was that I had to come from Elder Ellihia and stayed by my side for so long. If even you don't agree with me, I will have to review my character."
Yanis smiled: "No need to review it. Lord, although your heart is not as pure as Sister Steele and Vivian, it is also very outstanding among humans. Anyway, I like to stay by your side. If you drive me away, I will be unhappy."
Xu Yi couldn't help shave her nose: "Do you want to stay by my side all the time? Sooner or later, you will get married like other elves, and then you will have your own life."
Yanis rolled his eyes, suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly: "By the way, when it comes to this, I suddenly remembered it. Lord, didn't you tell me last time that the elves and humans are absolutely impossible to unite? But I asked the elder, and she told me that there is no possibility of union between the elves and humans. On the contrary, before the racial war, many elves and humans could even give birth to children, which are the legendary half-elves."
"What then?" Xu Yi gave her a blank look. "These half-elves must not be accepted by the elves, right?"
"Well... it seems like this. But this is what happened thousands of years ago. It's different from now. Lord. In short, what you said before is wrong, we can combine. And I'm sure that the remaining half-elves children will definitely accept it. So you don't have to worry."
"I'm not worried!" Xu Yi rebuked, and raised his index finger and hit Yanis's forehead hard. "I said you are thinking about what these things are done all day long at such a young age? Don't you feel shy?"
"Shy? Why should we be shy?" Yanis touched his forehead with confusion. "The combination of opposite sex and racial reproduction are normal topics. You are a human male, and I am a female of the elves. Is there anything to be shy about discussing the possibility of union between us and the reproduction of offspring? And the president, I have said it many times. I am in my 80s! I am much older than you!"
Xu Yi was completely defeated by Yanis, who looked innocent and couldn't help but sigh and hold his forehead.
"Okay, you don't feel shy, I feel shy. In short, don't discuss this topic so loudly in front of so many people, okay?" Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the crowd around him with strange eyes, and glared them back. "If you really care about this issue, next time I will go to Elder Elhuya with you and discuss it carefully."
"Okay. I have many questions to ask the elders for advice." Yanis clapped his hands happily and agreed readily.
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly and turned around and waved to Vivian who was looking at this place in the distance.
"Come on, Vivian, bring Yannis to Kennard and explain some of your design ideas to the officials sent by the Magic Industry Administration over there. Today is the first time that the Magic Industry Administration officially came to our New Flight Chamber of Commerce for inspection. You must receive it seriously."
"oh."
Vivian pulled Yanis, who was still not satisfied, just left. A middle-aged man who looked very ordinary but dressed properly, could tell at a glance that he came to Xu Yi's side.
"Are they the two of the best designers in your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? They are so young and promising." The middle-aged man looked at the backs of Vivian and Yanis who were leaving and sighed softly.
"It's nothing. They just have been in contact for a long time. It's just that practice makes perfect." Xu Yi responded calmly and turned to look at the middle-aged man. "When talking about outstanding designers, I think those ten chambers of commerce must have the help of many outstanding art masters in the kingdom, and they will definitely not be inferior to the two of them. Am I right, Director Russell?"
Deno Russell, the current director of the Magic Industry Administration, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "President Xu, you should understand better than anyone else that art masters and designers are different things. The beautiful elf lady Yanis is not only a designer, but also an art master recognized by everyone in the kingdom. But none of those art masters can be called designers."
"This is simple, so they can participate in design more. Over time, they will naturally become designers." Xu Yi said.
Director Russell looked at Xu Yi and smiled and said, "President Xu, it seems that you are still a little dissatisfied with the transfer of technology."
Xu Yi glanced at him and shook his head slowly: "No, I'm not dissatisfied. But after all, these things were developed by myself and I suddenly had to hand them over to others. I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Director Russell laughed: "I understand President Xu's feelings, but we have to look forward to anything, right? Although your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has handed over these technologies, it seems that you are at a disadvantage. But no matter how much technology transfer fees that the ten chambers of commerce have to pay for accepting these technologies, just by participating in the magic industry, it will bring great promotion to the entire magic industry. I think President Xu, you won't understand, right?"
Xu Yi smiled coldly in his heart.
Technology transfer fee?
When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce previously publicly sold technologies including magic stoves, magic electric furnaces, magic air conditioners and other household magic machinery, any chamber of commerce that wants to obtain related technologies must pay a minimum technology transfer fee of 100,000 gold coins.
And what about these ten Chambers of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration?
The most technology transfer fee is only 30,000 gold coins!
And these 30,000 gold coins even include a complete set of magic machine tool production lines!
If it really comes down, these technologies are almost the same as those given to them for free by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
The so-called technology transfer fee, in Xu Yi's opinion, is clearly just a fig leaf. It's just a proof that these guys want to be bitches but still have to set up a archway.
Xu Yi did not object to the so-called promotional effect brought by these ten chambers of commerce after participating in the magic industry.
Behind these ten chambers of commerce are the shadows of old and famous nobles in the kingdom. With such solid support, and now coupled with the technology provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, these ten chambers of commerce will inevitably enter the ranks of magic industry in a short time and accelerate the overall development of the magic industry.
More importantly, because of the joining of these ten chambers of commerce, the stubborn and conservative nobles who had previously opposed the magic industry would naturally no longer stick to this position. Instead, they would turn around and support the development of the magic industry.
For example, one of the conditions Xu Yi had proposed to King Eric through the City Lord of Kamadu was to adjust the special trade tax on magic machinery.
After Xu Yi transferred some of the technology, this condition was quickly responded.
Just half a month ago, the commercial tax reform in Bangta City was abolished on the grounds that "experimental evidence is not applicable."
Because of this relationship, many Magic Industry Chambers of Commerce in Bonta City, which were already on the verge of bankruptcy and some small chambers of commerce engaged in parts processing, were quickly resurrected, and the entire Bonta City seemed to be revitalized in an instant.
However, Xu Yi is still not optimistic about their prospects.
These ten Chambers of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration will inevitably enjoy various policy deviations and discounts in the future. These chambers of commerce without any foundation in Bonta City want to compete with them, and they simply hit the stone with eggs.
Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be difficult to survive in their attacks.
The reason why they have not simply swallowed the New Air Chamber of Commerce is entirely because they have not digested the various technologies of the New Air Chamber of Commerce. Leaving the New Air Chamber of Commerce is still valuable.
Every time I think of this question, Xu Yi can't help but sigh in his heart.
It is really difficult for business to completely get rid of political influence.
Fortunately, he had figured out this principle long ago and made preparations in advance.
What we are doing now is just for his dream of creating an industrial system.
Leaving some magical industry sparks to Bangta City or the Kingdom of Lampari is all he can do now. As for whether this spark can continue to flourish and start to set off like the previous Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when leading the development of the magical industry, it is not something Xu Yi can decide at the moment.
After looking at Director Russell deeply, Xu Yi said seriously: "I believe that after those ten chambers of commerce have joined the ranks of magical industries, it will inevitably lead to the thriving magical industry in the Kingdom of Lampari. But I have a saying, I hope Director Russell, you can tell me to the heads of those ten chambers of commerce."
Seeing Xu Yi speaking solemnly, Director Russell's expression became cautious.
"Please say it."
"Transferring the technology that our Chamber of Commerce has mastered is not something that is unacceptable for me. In fact, before that, our Chamber of Commerce has transferred a lot of related technologies for the production of magic machinery."
"Well, I understand. When I talked with many people in private, I admired Director Xu, your selfless behavior." Director Russell nodded.
"What I want to say is that it is certainly no problem to obtain mature technologies that have been successfully developed from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. This is also the fastest and most convenient way. But have you ever thought about a question: Once all the technologies mastered by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are taken away, what should we do next?"
Director Russell smiled awkwardly and said, "I understand what you mean by President Xu. President Xu, you have always emphasized that the development of the magic industry cannot be separated from the research and development of technology. I think the ten chambers of commerce also understand this truth very well, so there is no need to worry about it. Besides, there is also the New Flying Chamber of Commerce led by President Xu, right?
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, you don't understand, they don't understand either. Technical research and development is just a sentence, but in fact, it is not as easy as you think. To put it bluntly, no chamber of commerce can compare with our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, regardless of the personnel, theoretical foundation and the most basic workers."
Director Russell frowned: "So President Xu, do you have any good suggestions?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I have no suggestions, only... I wish you good luck."
Seeing Xu Yi's face smiling and unhappy expression, Director Russell couldn't help but change his face slightly. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
