Volume 3 Chapter 66 - Why can’t you sell it publicly? (1/2)
In the conference room facing the other three chairman, Xu Yi didn’t speak definitively.
“It isn’t impossible to transfer the Magic Car technology, but not right now.” Xu Yi said with a serious look, “Three sirs, although the Magic Car is a magic machine, it is much more complex than the other magic machines that our company has developed. It includes many different kinds of technology, some of which our company hasn’t fully developed yet, so there’s no meaning in me transferring it to you right now.”
Chairman Rank said with a faint smile, “We are not that greedy. Chairman Xu, actually we didn’t want you to transfer the Magic Car technology to us this time, we just hope that since we are all old friends, you can put us on the same starting line as the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the Fersen Carriage Company. Don’t treat us too differently.”
Xu Yi looked at chairman Rank and said with a smile, “Chairman Rank, I think…..you should be clear on the reason why I have a special relationship with the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the Fersen Carriage Company.”
Their expressions changed and chairman Rank’s smile became a bit awkward.
Last year when Count Stagg took over as City Lord and began aiming at Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi announced that he would withdraw from the Business Union. The other companies had remained silent and only the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the Fersen Carriage Company had followed Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of commerce. Chairman Cruise even went crazy at the meeting and scolded the other companies for being petty people who swayed with the wind.
Because the companies of the Business Union led by chairman Rank didn’t support Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they wouldn’t be able to receive the same treatment from Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi directly pointed this out and the three of them couldn’t refute this.
As for chairman Morgan and chairman Vincent who represented the Falcao Chamber of Commerce and the Armani Chamber of Commerce that cooperated on a deeper level than the Sarank Chamber of Commerce, they had even more awkward looks.
Because of this matter from before, their companies had many cooperations with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so normally they always claimed to be partners when speaking privately to Xu Yi.
However, at this critical moment, these two partners displayed less conviction than the Amrit Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Cruise.
It was better for chairman Morgan. He had a bad relationship with Xu Yi at first and only after the Jole Family and Xu Yi reached an agreement did he start treating Xu Yi better.
The Armani Chamber of Commerce had a deep cooperation with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, even building the production base on the Black Rice Wasteland with the Armit Chamber of Commerce, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of how they were cooperating on the Black Rice Wasteland last year, where Xu Yi supported them in various aspects, chairman Vincent couldn’t help feeling ashamed.
But chairman Vincent was a man with decades in the business world, calming down after a minute. He instead used this point to say to Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, we were indeed wrong in the past, but this matter is over. Don’t we have a good cooperation now? Since we can cooperate in other matters, I believe we can also cooperate on this matter, don’t you think?”
Chairman Rank and chairman Morgan looked at chairman Vincent, thinking that this fellow really could react fast.
But business deals were like this, there were only ever benefits. Friends and enemies meant nothing, deals were made based on the situation.
When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce took the mine from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, chairman Morgan and Xu Yi were like mortal enemies. After the Jole Family and Xu Yi reached an agreement, their relationship slowly became better.
Moreover, just two months ago, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce opened a non-ferrous mine and a non-ferrous smelting plant in Cramer City with the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. Now when chairman Morgan saw Xu Yi, he would smile more and became more considerate.
Comparatively, chairman Rank treated Xu Yi with the same friendly tone with a bit of politeness. Since they weren’t close and they didn’t hate each other, it didn’t really change.
“Un, I agree with chairman Vincent, but I’m sorry, what I said just now is the truth. It isn’t that I’m not planning on spreading the Magic Car technology, the timing isn’t right.” Xu Yi paused for a bit before deciding to put it more straightforward for them, “If I can be a bit rude, the Magic Car technology is above the level of your magic machine technology right now. Even if I give you the technology, you wouldn’t be able to digest it at all and it would be useless.”
Xu Yi’s words were rather impolite and the other three chairmen couldn’t help knitting their brows.
Chairman Morgan gave a soft snort and asked in a deep voice, “You mean that our companies aren’t qualified?”
“This is a bit much, but…..it’s the truth.” Xu Yi nodded without any courtesy, “In terms of technology, there can’t be any lies. Your companies have obtained the production methods for the Magic Fan, the Magic Kettle, and other magic machines from our company, so I believe you should be clear on this. Although these magic machines seem simple, the technology contained is very deep. Even with the same material and same manufacturing standards, there are still differences in the end product produced.”
The three chairmen were silent, but they couldn’t help nodding.
Xu Yi was completely right. Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had released the Magic Fan and the Magic Kettle production method, so now there were many other companies that produced the two in Banta City.
Because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce said they wouldn’t produce the Magic Kettle, there is no difference.
