Volume 2 Chapter 109 - Stealing food from the tiger???s mouth (1/2)

Although Xu Yi wasn’t willing, he had to admit that major MacConley was right since there were things that he had already done. Moreover, the people who should have known already knew, so no matter what kind of attitude he had and no matter how much he wanted to avoid starting things, it was no use.

Moreover, he had to do the things that he had to do.

Major MacConley had specially invited him over, naturally it was not because he needed help solving these technical problems. It was like Xu Yi had said, for these simple technical problems, he just had to spend some specialists over.

Naturally it also wasn’t just to explain or even warn Xu Yi because if it really was for that, it would have been better for the two of them to talk alone.

Other than this, the main thing was to have Xu Yi representing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce reach some kind of agreement with the army headquarters.

First they had to take care of the slaves that Xu Yi had transferred to Seveni. Like this, the workers that were chosen from the slaves would belong to Seveni, which means that the backbone to the factory would be firmly held in Seveni’s hands.

Next was the order the army headquarters had major MacConley make with Xu Yi again.

This order included magic machine production lines for weapons and armours, over a hundred thousand tires, and the logistics department wanted the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to develop certain magic machines with some abilities.

There wasn’t a short delivery time tied with the order for the special magic machines. Strictly speaking, it as just an order for development, hoping that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce could develop the corresponding magic machines that would satisfy the needs of the logistics department.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was very experienced in this aspect because there were companies like the Armani Chamber of Commerce, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and the Amrit Chamber of Commerce who had made these requests before.

The only difference was that the request of the army headquarters’ logistics department was a bit special.

For example, major MacConley hoped that a Magic Trebuchet could be developed to replace the giant wooden trebuchets that were very unwieldy that the royal army was currently using.

When Xu Yi heard this request, he already thought of several good choices. He just needed to tell Camby and the other dwarves back in the magic machine workshop to research a few things and he would be able to create a product.

So he very quickly signed this agreement with major MacConley.

When major MacConley saw how quick and confident Xu Yi was when it came to signing this, naturally he was very happy.

With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce signing this contract, it would be of great help to the logistics department because although the things the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced were expensive, compared to how it cost thirty gold coins for a single set of armour from the Jole Family, it was without a doubt cheaper.

The more important thing was that working with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it helped the logistics department with their poor financial situation. Not only could they meet the basic equipment requirement for the frontline, they could also increase the quality of the equipment and raise the battle strength of the soldiers.

If it wasn’t for the fact that major MacConley didn’t have enough authority, he would have directly broken the deal from before they had with the Jole Family and would work with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

As for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and Xu Yi, by signing this contract, first they would be able to earn a large amount of profit.

Even though it seems like they were supplying the army headquarters because of Seveni’s support, so Xu Yi had given them a preferential price, just based on the hundred thousand tire order, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would earn a profit of over two hundred thousand gold coins.

If the other orders were added in, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be earning over three hundred thousand from these orders.

Other than the direct money profits, in providing equipment to the army and becoming their supplier, it would help raise the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s position in the kingdom.

The Jole Family could become one of the top families in the kingdom, other than controlling the iron business, they also relied on this iron business to become the supplier to the army. Like this, it was equal to controlling the lifeline of the kingdom.

Of course, now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had inserted their foot, it was like stealing food from the tiger’s mouth and would get a reaction from the Jole Family.

But this was something that Xu Yi already expected.

Talking to the Jole Family was something that Xu Yi had planned before coming to Anvilmar City, so he told Vincent that he would be visiting.

But before this, Xu Yi had another matter that he had to settle.
