Chapter 167 Marquis Southgate's Worries

Three days later, the Marquis of Southgide, Xu Yi and others returned to the Principality of Stantin.

If the Marquis Southgide was just having a leisurely attitude when he came here for the first time, then his goal would be quite clear when he came again this time.

After another detailed investigation of the automatic water supply system that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce has basically been fully deployed in the Stantin Duke, he signed the first agreement with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce without hesitation.

The content of this agreement is to introduce an automatic water supply system from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Marlow Empire.

Of course, because this is only the first tentative cooperation, the scale of the agreement is not particularly large. Marquis Southghede just hopes to introduce the automatic water supply system to the small town in his private territory, with a total coverage area of ​​about five square kilometers.

According to estimates, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide Marquis Southgate with five sets of magic water pumps, as well as supporting automatic water supply pipelines and gas valves and other facilities. The total transaction amount was negotiated by both parties and finally determined to be 48,000 gold coins.

If the same agreement is signed with the Kingdom of Lampari or the Kingdom of Rulson, the total transaction amount will actually be two or three thousand gold coins lower than this price. The reason is that the Marlow Empire is far away from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. The cost of transporting these magic pump units and supporting facilities before installing them is much higher than that in the Kingdom of Lampari and Rulson.

So although the price is higher, the profits earned by the New Air Chamber of Commerce have actually dropped a little.

However, since this is the first cooperation between the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Southghede, it can also be regarded as the first cooperation between the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the Marlow Empire, and its representation is of great significance, it is normal to give some discounts.

And in fact, with the large-scale assembly of automatic magic machines in various factories within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the cost and time consumed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to produce most magic machines has been greatly reduced.

Even if some discounts are given, the profits obtained by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are actually much higher than those in the previous two years.

The automatic water supply system was something that the Marquis of Southgide had determined when he first came, so naturally the two parties signed the agreement very smoothly.

However, regarding the road that Marquis Southeged attached great importance to and the magic communication network that Xu Yi only recommended to him this time, Marquis Southeged still made up his mind after a detailed investigation.

However, it is not easy to say about the magic communication network. After all, Marquis Southgide can continue to use his territory for experiments, so he also successfully signed an agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to introduce a magic communication network involving a total amount of up to 76,000 gold coins.

On the road side, Marquis Southgide knew very well that it would not make much sense to pave the road on his territory. So after a tripartite talk with Xu Yi and President Cruise, the representative of the Amri Chamber of Commerce, he decided to put it aside for the time being. After he returned to the Marlow Empire, he tried to persuade the Marlow Empire Parliament to approve the construction of a road connecting the Falk Kingdom and the capital of the Marlow Empire, Anglo.

If nothing unexpected happens, while this road is successfully built, the road built by the Amrits Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Falke will also be completed at the same time, so that the Kingdom of Falke and the Marlow Empire can be connected to the highway transportation network that is now located in the southwest of the Synes continent, making it extremely convenient for both sides to travel.

The straight-line distance between Angelo City and the main base of the New Air Chamber of Commerce is even more than 3,000 kilometers. This time, the Marquis of Southghede came all the way from Angelo City. It took nearly a month to reach the unexpected city of Ferroyce, the main city of Drakh's Principality, which had been more than 1,300 kilometers.

When they arrived at Ferrois and headed to Anweimar, the king of King Lambari, more than 800 kilometers away, they only spent one day on the way.

This is the huge difference between having a road and not having a road.

If there is a road that can lead directly to Angelo City, then it will take only a few days to get from Angelo City to the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to infrastructure, Marquis Southgide last time had seen the convenience brought by the various household magic machinery produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, so how could he let it go?

So this time he signed an agreement directly with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. He planned to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to build several household magic machinery assembly factories on his private territory.

He even voluntarily gave up two mines in his territory and decided to jointly mine with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to share various mineral resources.

But he also made a request that these mineral resources could not flow out of the Marlow Empire, so Xu Yi finally decided to jointly invest with him to open a steel mill and a non-ferrous metal smelting factory in his private territory. The metal mines were melted on site and then sent directly to various household magic machinery factories jointly invested by both parties.

According to the plan proposed by Marquis Southgheed, his ultimate goal was to copy all the current model of the New Air Chamber of Commerce to his private territory and build his private territory into a "modern magical industrial base" like the New Air Chamber of Commerce's main base and Bonta City.

This noun was of course taught to him by Xu Yi.

"Marquis, I admire your vision and grandeur. At this point, I think you represent the attitude reflected in the Marlow Empire is much more open than the Kander Empire. I believe that you and the Marlow Empire will definitely benefit from this open attitude."

Xu Yi saw Marquis Southgide sign his name on the last agreement reached by both sides, and then pressed the seal, showing a satisfied smile.

These days, he accompanied the Marquis of Southgide to conduct investigations, and had to continue to negotiate and negotiate, but he was really exhausted.

Now, it can finally be considered as the dust has settled, which makes everyone feel relieved.

Marquis Southgide was also a little tired, but a bright light appeared in his eyes, and he obviously felt uneasy.

"Haha, President Xu, our Malo Empire is of course much stronger than the decadent Kander Empire. If you want to find someone to cooperate with us, our Malo Empire is definitely a choice that is countless times better than the Kander Empire."

If Marquis Southgheed was just curious about the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce when he first knew those amazing household magic machinery, then after the in-depth understanding and investigation of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce last time and this time, he had already deeply felt the powerful power and unmeasurable potential contained in the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.

He is very sure that the emergence of the New Air Chamber of Commerce has deeply affected several countries in the southwest corner of the mainland, and will definitely affect other countries in the future.

If the Marlow Empire awakens late in this regard, it will most likely put itself in a state of backwardness.

Through his observations of these countries last and this time along the way, especially the Kingdom of Lampari, which was most influenced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, he was very convinced of this.

But he was not sure that he could convince the stubborn guys in the empire, so he did not intend to convince them, but instead intended to use reality to convince them directly.

As long as you bring things like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Marlow Empire and let everyone see the powerful charm contained in these magical machinery with their own eyes, then he doesn't need to convince him at all, and countless people in the empire will inevitably flock to it.

Thinking of this, the Marquis Southgide glanced at Xu Yi and sighed in his heart.

In fact, compared with changes in infrastructure and household magic machinery, he cared more about the military magic machinery that he had been hearing rumors but never saw instances.

According to the rumor, the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is said to have extremely powerful power, which can easily increase the combat effectiveness of an army by several times.

The reason why the Kingdom of Lampari can now easily suppress the Sak Kingdom that had suppressed them for hundreds of years is said to be because the New Air Chamber of Commerce provided them with a large number of military magic machinery.

Marquis Southgheed certainly hopes to introduce such an important thing to the Marlow Empire at one time and under feasible conditions.

However, Xu Yi has always been tight-lipped about this. Even if Marquis Southgide pretends to mention it accidentally, Xu Yi will immediately change the topic.

After exploring Xu Yi's attitude, Marquis Southgide had to temporarily put aside this idea.

This is the first time that the two sides have cooperated with each other, so Xu Yi should be cautious.

After the cooperation between the two sides has been long, Marquis Southgide believes that there will definitely be a chance to discuss military magic machinery with Xu Yi.

As Xu Yi himself said, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is also a chamber of commerce. Compared with his identity as a great magician, it pays more attention to his identity as a merchant. Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has built military magic machinery, it will definitely think of selling it.

As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to sell it, of course everything is easy to say.

Among these considerations, there was a problem that had always troubled the Marquis of Southgide, which made him feel a little uneasy.

The last time he came to the main base of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, he accidentally met Remitor Russell, deputy chief of staff of the Naval Command of the Candela Empire.

Marquis Southgide had been directly against this guy on the battlefield before, and he also knew that he was listed by the Marlow Empire as one of the people in the Candela Empire who needs to be wary of. He knew that he would never be the kind of guy who would run around without any trouble.

Then the last time he appeared at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he must have had some purpose.

What Marquis Southgide was worried about was that his purpose was probably related to the military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It is even possible that the Candela Empire has reached some agreements with the New Air Chamber of Commerce on military magic machinery.

If this is true, it would be a bit bad.

However, looking at Xu Yi, who always smiled, Marquis Southgide still suppressed the doubts in his heart.

The future is long, but we cannot hurry up. (To be continued)
