Volume 1 Chapter 81 (1/2)

How about I marry you?

The horse carriage’s wheels rolled over the tiles and it made faint sounds, as it headed into the night in a relaxed manner.

The compartment was as silent as the night outside. Akali who was always filled with words had been silent since coming into the carriage for an unknown reason, as her head was down while she was thinking something. Xu Yi was leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, revealing an exhausted look on his face.

This first meeting with president Rank’s group could be considered both sides being happy on the outside, with both sides being satisfied with the result.

But Xu Yi as very clear that this effect was very hard to achieve.

Based on the display of president Rank and the others, they had already made up their minds. They wanted to swallow the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

But their table manners were just too ugly, actually without even waiting for Xu Yi to agree to joining the Business Union, they proposed that Xu Yi take out the core technology of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

If Xu Yi didn’t have other plans, he would have slapped the table and left.

Thinking of the joyful expression president Rank and the others had when he agreed to transfer the technology, Xu Yi couldn’t help giving a cold laugh in his heart.

Those fellows, they made it sound so nice, saying that as long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce joined the Business Union, he would be able to enjoy the many benefits and that he would be able to cooperate with the companies of the Business Union. But if one looked at it closer, they would find that they had dug a large hole for him to jump in.

If Xu Yi was really that stupid, sharing the technology of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, with the difference in ability between a real large company and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they would have been swallowed not long after.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt it was strange. Properly speaking, those fellows were chairmen of large companies, so their minds wouldn’t be weak, so did they really think Xu Yi was that stupid?

Thinking about it, Xu Yi understood.

Those fellows didn’t think Xu Yi as stupid, but they were certain that the conditions they gave as a large enticement to Xu Yi.

To Xu Yi’s Frestech Chamber of Commerce, being able to join the Business Union was already very prestigious matter. Being able to cooperate with those large companies, they would be incomparably lucky. If it was another small company like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they definitely wouldn’t reject this kind of enticement.

But why did they never consider that Xu Yi’s image of the development of magic machines had already surpassed everyone else on the Sines Continent. He was already thinking about creating a complete industrial system on the Sines Continent, how could he be enticed by these small enticements.

Those fellows had dug a hole for Xu Yi to jump in, but they never would have thought that Xu Yi had dug an even bigger hole for them.

The plan Xu Yi took out in the end for president Rank in the end was simple because on the paper, Xu Yi proposed that he would share the Magic Fan building technology with all the members of the union. If the other members of the union wanted to build Magic Fans, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would support them with technology and would help the other members establish a production line.

The only condition that Xu Yi raised was that when the other members sold a Magic Fan, they would have to pay the Frestech Chamber of Commerce five silver coins each time.

Compared to the two gold coin price of the Magic Fan and the over a gold coin profit, five gold coins weren’t even worth mentioning.

So president Rank was very surprised because he thought the condition Xu Yi raised was too simple.

Of course he was clear on the fact that asking the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to transfer their magic machine technology was a very excessive matter, so Xu Yi would definitely raise many conditions. But he never would have thought that Xu Yi would only raise this simple condition.

From what president Rank could see, Xu Yi’s plan was basically the Frestech Chamber of Commerce giving up the large market of Magic Fans.

This was because as long as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gave up the Magic Fan production method, with the powerful might of their companies, they could easily squeeze the Frestech Chamber of Commerce out of the market.

Even with this condition, with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gaining five silver coins for each Magic Fan sold, compared to the large profit of the Magic Fans, these five gold coins was just the fat skimmed off the soup.

After seriously reading through Xu Yi’s plan and after questioning him a bit, president Rank and the chairmen of the other five large companies were all filled with zeal over Xu Yi’s plan. President Rank even immediately announced that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was joining the Business Union.

Although Xu Yi had only given up the technology for the Magic Fans, these people knew that president Rank wanting Xu Yi to give up all his magic machines was like the lion opening its mouth too wide. No matter how dumb Xu Yi was, he would never agree to this matter.

Having him give up this Magic Fan technology was already taking the most crucial first step.

With the first step, there could be a second and a third.

Anyway, Xu Yi had already joined the Business Union and there was time and opportunity to slowly swallow the technologies the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had one by one.
