Volume 5 Chapter 11 - Magic Transmission Network (1/2)
Newman left.
His discussion with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t smooth, so he looked a bit worried when he left. It was clear that he wasn’t satisfied with this result.
Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce agreed to increase their investment in the Rudson Kingdom, helping them build a magic machine industrial system and they would provide more magic machine technology to the Rudson Kingdom, Xu Yi didn’t give a response to the military magic machines that King Teruc cared about the most.
Even if Xu Yi agreed that after the Rudson Kingdom’s magic machine industry was more perfected, he would consider transferring a portion of the military magic machine to the Rudson Kingdom, as for when it would be “perfected”, this was left very vague.
Not to mention that to have a foundation that was like the Lampuri Kingdom like Xu Yi described, it would take at least another three years.
To get Xu Yi’s approval, it would take at least five years.
The Rudson Kingdom couldn’t wait five years. Newman knew that even if his majesty Teruc wasn’t willing, they could only accept the solution that Xu Yi gave, which was to directly purchase military magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, ensuring that the Rudson Kingdom would be as strong as the Lampuri Kingdom.
The era was different, they couldn’t rely on swords and armour to fight anymore. They had already been pushed aside by the powerful military magic machines the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced.
If the Rudson Kingdom didn’t increase their strength, it wouldn’t take long before they would be thrown far behind by the Lampuri Kingdom.
If there was a large difference in strength between the two sides, the so-called “alliance” wouldn’t have any meaning.
Ambassador Hakanin also left, but he was different from Newman when he left.
Compared to Newman, ambassador Hakanin was very satisfied when he left.
Although he received the same reply from Xu Yi as Newman when it came to the military magic machines, the Candra Empire didn’t care about this and ambassador Hakanin cared even less.
Rather what he cared more about was that Xu Yi agreed to give him a large amount of household magic machines.
In his private deal with Xu Yi, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would sell household magic machines at 90% of the regular price for a total of thirty thousand units, reaching an amount of seven hundred and forty thousand gold coins.
In the calculation that ambassador Hakanin made, if he could sell all thirty thousand units when he returned to the Candra Empire, with how much the nobles and merchants wanted these novel household magic machines, he would be able to earn two hundred thousand gold coins.
If he was a bit more ruthless, he would be able to earn even more profit.
So when he left the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, ambassador Hakanin had a bright smile on his face.
Although his position as the ambassador of the Candra Empire in the Rudson Kingdom was high, because he had no real power, he couldn’t make that much from it.
In a single year, at most he could get forty to fifty thousand gold coins.
But with just a single trip to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he earned a large profit of twenty thousand gold coins.
Moreover, he didn’t need to do anything in this matter. Xu Yi had promised that he would send out a motorcade to transport the goods to Caraca City, even sending it to the Candra Empire.
The only condition was to have ambassador Hakanin pay for the expenses, as well as help them enter the Candra Empire.
It was natural for him to take the shipping expenses and to let the motorcade enter the Candra Empire was naturally an easy matter for ambassador Hakanin, so he agreed to this condition very easily.
After everything was settled, ambassador Hakanin only needed to return to Caraca City and wait.
When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s transport motorcade arrived, they would follow ambassador Hakanin to the Candra Empire and he could sit at home counting his money.
Ambassador Hakanin was filled with joy, but Xu Yi’s joy wasn’t less than his.
After discussing with Newman who represented the Rudson Kingdom, although they didn’t obtain the military magic machines, they did settle a cooperation to deepen their cooperation on the magic machine aspect.
With the favourable conditions King Teruc had given, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be earning large profits whether it was investing in magic machine factories or stores.
For example, the Rudson Kingdom had decided that magic machines would be another kind of goods that would receive a new kind of tax system. It would no longer be taxed with the normal system.
With this system, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would pay 5% less tariffs and also save 3% on taxes when selling magic machines in the Rudson Kingdom.
