Volume 6 Chapter 16 Take what you need
What did the Magicians Guild headquarters want to do?
The world turned for profits.
When Great Magician Ferguson came last time, his act was considered normal. He represented the Magicians Guild in hoping that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would help the Low Grade Magicians solve their problem with their livelihoods, so he was rather courteous.
However, when he represented the Magicians Guild this time, he suddenly made it difficult for Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so naturally he had his goal.
After visiting the academy, Xu Yi had deliberately left Great Magician Ferguson out to dry for a few days. Only then did Great Magician Ferguson show that the headquarters was willing to approve of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but they had to pay a price.
So Great Magician Ferguson changed his expression and threw out the plan that the Magicians Guild headquarters had decided on.
This method was like the one that Xu Yi proposed before, or strictly speaking, it was first approving the Frestech Chamber of Commerce as a cooperating company and then they would work on arrangements for the Low Grade Magicians.
This was similar to what they discussed before, but there were differences in the plan.
In this plan, the Magicians Guild proposed that since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is using magic machine production to help the Low Grade Magicians, out of consideration for them, the Magicians Guild had to have some understanding of the fRestech Chamber of Commerce’s technology.
It seemed quite noble on the surface, but they were asking the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to share all their current magic machine technology with them, to let the Magicians Guild study them. They wanted to make sure that it wouldn’t be harmful to the Low Grade Magicians.
“So you agreed?” Seveni looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes.
It had been a week since Great Magician Ferguson left the Stantine Duchy, returning to the Magicians Guild headquarters to report. Xu Yi had come to Anvilmar City to discuss matters with Seveni and had raised this matter while he was here.
“How could that be possible?’ Xu Yi shook his head and gave a cold laugh, “The Magicians Guild headquarters actually wants us to hand over all our magic machine technology, I would only agree if I was crazy.”
“You didn’t agree? Then why did I hear that if nothing unexpected happens, the Magicians Guild should be announcing that your Frestech Chamber of Commerce will be a cooperating company next month?” Seveni asked in a confused voice.
“That is negotiations. The Magicians Guild headquarters gave a price, so can’t I bargain with them?” Xu Yi spread his hands and said with a smile, “They want all the magic machine technology, so of course they gave an initial price of everything, but they also know that this isn’t possible. So I just had to casually give them another price and they agreed.”
“Oh? Then how did you counter their offer?” Seveni revealed an interested look.
“It’s nothing, I agree to share all the magic machine technology of our company with the Magicians Guild headquarters, but…..I didn’t specify the time limit.”
Seveni was surprised before giving a laugh.
“Good Xu Yi, you really are sly. But I don’t believe that the people of the Magicians Guild headquarters can’t see that you are stalling for time.”
“Of course they know this, but I promised them that I would give at least one project that our company has to the Magicians Guild each year. Moreover, I gave them a list of all the projects that our company has right now to let them chose from, so they accepted this without any hesitation.”
“One each year?” Seveni’s mind quickly turned and she couldn’t help saying, “Hei, Xu Yi, if my guesses are correct, doesn’t your Frestech Chamber of Commerce have at least two hundred projects right now? Could it be that the Magicians Guild headquarters has to spend over two hundred years to get all of this from you?”
“No, it’s already over four hundred, so it would be more accurate to say over four hundred years.” Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
“That is strange, since it’s like this, why would the Magicians Guild headquarters agree to this?” Seveni asked in a curious voice.
“First, they don’t know what the magic machine industry is at all. Second, they don’t know the speed of the development of the magic machine industry. Four hundred years? The technologies that our company has right now would already be placed in museums and would be no longer used, so I don’t know what use they will get out of it.”
