Volume 1 Chapter 61 (1/2)

Paparazzi

“You were introduced by Lewis?” Xu Yi looked at this young noble that Viscount Leslie had attracted in front of him. He never thought that he would hear a name that he hadn’t heard in a long time from him.

Baron Hannas gave a slight nod before saying with a faint smile, “That’s right. When he heard that I was coming to Banta City, uncle Lewis told me that I had to contact the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Uncle Lewis also said that he is very regretful that he couldn’t obtain the chance to work with you on the Magic Fan before. If your company has any other new products, he would definitely cooperate with you if there was another chance.”

Lewis’ normal looking face with an astute feeling passed through Xu Yi’s mind again.

To a large client who ordered a thousand Magic Fans right away, Xu Yi had a profound impression of him.

When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had just been made and the Magic Fan had just been researched, they didn’t enjoy the same fame as they did in Banta City and they didn’t have any fame in the surrounding cities.

Even in this situation, Lewis dared to immediately order such a large number. It could be seen that his eyes looked quite far and he was quite bold.

What Xu Yi never imagined was that he still remembered their small company after several months and even sent someone to specially contact them.

Xu Yi looked over Baron Hannas and thought that although this fellow was young, he was still a baron no matter what. Moreover, he went through Viscount Leslie to look for him, which meant that he had some status in Anvilmar City.

For such a person to call Lewis uncle, it could be seen that Lewis was indeed an important person.

“Lewis…..How was mister Lewis certain that we would have new products?” Xu Yi asked curiously.

Baron Hannas revealed a smile, “I also asked uncle Lewis this and he responded that although he had only met chairman Xu Yi once, he could tell that you were a driven person. You definitely wouldn’t be satisfied with just one product like the Magic Fan.”

Xu Yi awkwardly touched his nose and his face became somewhat embarrassed.

“Am I that easily seen through by others?”

Viscount Leslie who was accompanying them broke out in laughter, “Xu Yi, if I couldn’t see the ambition in you, do you think I would be willing to work with you?”

Xu Yi helplessly spread his hands, “Is the word ambition written all over my face?”

Baron Hannas also broke out in laughter, “Chairman Xu is truly interesting. Having ambition isn’t a bad thing, right? Since you have set up such a unique company, if you didn’t have ambition…...Un, I like the word driven uncle Lewis said. If you didn’t have drive, how could this company have lasted this long?”

“Alright, I admit it, I have ambi…..I have a lot of drive. Un, I also like this word. Our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has just been established, but I will make it the best company in all of the Lampuri Kingdom and even the Sines Continent!” Xu Yi said with a firm nod.

“I believe that.” Baron Hannas nodded with a faint smile, “But chairman Xu, I am also very curious. I’ve heard that you are an exceptional magician and based on the small Magic Plowing Machine from earlier, I can at least tell that the level of your Earth Magic Array is quite high. Since it’s like this, why didn’t you choose to continue studying magic and become a powerful magician? Why did you choose to study magic machines? I think you should be very clear that even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce becomes the largest company on the Sines Continent, as a merchant, your status still won’t be as high as a powerful magic, right?”

“You are not the first person to ask me this.” Xu Yi looked over at Viscount Leslie. Just a month ago, Viscount Leslie had asked him this same question, “This question is not easy to answer. I can only tell you that this is my personal interest.”

Baron Hannas knit his brows and was very unsatisfied with this answer.

“Chairman Xu, based on personal interest, it has urged you to give up a promising future as a magician and become a merchant instead?”

Xu Yi gave a shrug. He couldn’t just tell him his thoughts about creating a complete industrial system on the Sines Continent, right?

Even when Viscount Leslie asked him, Xu Yi only told him that compared to studying magic, he rather liked studying magic machines.

This kind of response about personal interest was not something others could understand or be satisfied with, but it was not something they could refute.
