Volume 3 Chapter 37 - We want to try (1/2)

Xu Yi looked at Freeman in surprise, “Why did you suddenly have this idea?”

Freeman touched his head and replied with a laugh, “Actually the reason is very simple, making magic machines earns more than making components…..”

Xu Yi rolled his eyes, “Making machines is more complicated than making components. You’re doing well with making components and it seems quite promising to me, so why do you suddenly want to change industries?”

Freeman looked at the doubtful look on Xu Yi’s face and carefully asked, “Then….you don’t approve of us making Magic Fans?”

“This…..” Xu Yi honestly thought for a bit before shaking his head, “It isn’t that I don’t approve since your Ireland Chamber of Commerce is your own company, I can’t make a decision for you. But I have to remind you that making complete machines and components are two different things. Although your Ireland Chamber of Commerce is rather good at making components, having a good degree of technology, there are more things to pay attention to when it comes to making machines. It has a higher demand when it comes to techniques, so are you certain you can do this?”

“I don’t dare say that we are confident.” Freeman honestly shook his head, “But I feel that we can give it a try. What do you think?”

“If you’re determined to give it a try, I will support you. But if this attempt fails, you will suffer heavy losses. Are you prepared to accept these heavy losses?” Xu Yi then asked.

Freeman gave a strong nod, “Yes, everyone is clear that to make machines, it will be very difficult. But if we don’t even dare give it a try, it wouldn’t make sense. So we have discussed it and we have decided to give producing Magic Fans a try.”

Seeing the honest expression on Freeman’s face, Xu Yi was silent for a bit before nodding, “Alright, since you have made your decision, I have nothing else to say. Speak, how do you need me to support you? Give you all the technology for making Magic Fans? Actually I don’t think that you can afford it. When we sold this technology to the other companies in Banta City, it required a hundred thousand gold coins to buy it. With your current abilities, I’m afraid you won’t have enough.”

“Un, I understand this, but chairman Xu, we don’t want to purchase all the Magic Fan related technology from you. We just wish to purchase the Magic Array technology.”

“Oh?” Xu Yi was a bit surprised, “Although the Magic Array is the core of the Magic Fan, you can’t make the Magic Fan just with this. From what I can see, for the Magic Fan, the most important thing other than the Magic Array is the design and the parts assembly.”

“We are confident in this.” Freeman said in a confident voice, “Our Ireland Chamber of Commerce has worked in components for over a year now, so everyone is confident in making suitable components. I won’t hide it from you, we have already understood the basic structure of the Frestech Brand Magic Fan. Everyone believes that as long as we work hard, we can even produce a Magic Fan that is like your Frestech Brand Magic Fan.”

“Ah, you have enough confidence.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “But Freeman, I feel that you’re making this a bit too simple. For a magic machine, it isn’t just assembling the parts, rather it includes quite a bit of knowledge on machines. If you don’t have this, I think that you’ll have difficulty when it comes to making the Magic Fan.”

“I know.” Freeman was still confident, “But I want to try it with everyone. Chairman Xu, can you give us this chance?”

Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Of course I can. To be honest, I am very happy hearing this idea from you. I won’t hide it from you, if it was possible I want more companies to have the courage to make higher grade magic machines like yours. Because only then will the magic machines industry develop even faster.”

“Really?” Hearing Xu Yi’s answer, Freeman was pleasantly surprised. He grabbed Xu Yi’s hand and forcefully shook it as he asked, “Then Chairman Xu, are you willing to give us the Magic Array technology for the Magic Fans to us?” After saying this, Freeman revealed an embarrassed look, “But…..chairman Xu, you also know that our company doesn’t have that much money. Can you….sell it to us cheap?”

“Alright.” Xu Yi nodded, “Since I agreed, I won’t make it hard on you.” Xu Yi stretched out a finger, “Ten thousand gold coins, that is the fee for our Frestech Chamber of Commerce transferring the technology to your Ireland Chamber of Commerce. How about it? Can you accept this?”

Freeman’s worries disappeared as he broke out in laughter.

“Yes, yes! Of course! It’s only ten thousand gold coins, this is too cheap! Chairman Xu, I won’t hide it from you, our initial estimates were…..” Freeman suddenly stopped.

Seeing Freeman’s expression, Xu Yi couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile, “Was it Kovac who told you not to tell me the price in your heart?”

Freeman awkwardly rubbed his hands and after hesitating a bit, he made his decision, “That kid Kovac was thinking too much, there’s nothing to hide in front of chairman Xu. Actually our estimates in the beginning were at least thirty thousand gold coins. I never thought that you would be this generous, only wanting ten thousand gold coins from us. This really is too cheap!”

Xu Yi shook his head, “Ten thousand and thirty thousand gold coins isn’t much of a difference to me. But for you guys, it’s a large difference. Since I want you to develop magic machines to another level, then I have to think of you guys as well. If you save twenty thousand gold coins, you can invest that money into research and save yourself some trouble.”

Freeman had a face filled with gratitude as he said with an emotional sigh, “Chairman Xu, I really have to say that you really are the benefactor of me and my brothers. If it wasn’t for you, me and my brothers would still be normal villagers in Ireland Village, how could we have a company like we do now that is earning several tens of thousands of gold coins a year.”
