Volume 6 Chapter 45 International call
“Do you really think that having Leslie do this will make the Candra Empire think it is unrelated to your Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”
“No, I definitely don’t think this unless the Candra Empire is filled with idiots.”
“Then why did you do this?”
“I just gave the Candra Empire an excuse. If our Frestech Chamber of Commerce was openly supporting the Rudson Kingdom, how could the Candra Empire pull down their face to cooperate with us in the end?”
“You’re that confident in the Rudson Kingdom?”
“I am just confident in the products of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce.”
“Even if the other side is a giant like the Candra Empire?”
“Yes.”
“Then……I wish…..Alright, I wish the Rudson Kingdom the best of luck. Anyway, our Lampuri Kingdom doesn’t want an unfriendly neighbour like the Candra Empire right next to us.”
“It’s the same for our Stantine Duchy.”
“So that’s why you insisted on supporting the Rudson Kingdom?”
“That is only a part of it. The most important reason is to take advantage of this war to advertise our company.”
“Xu Yi, you really are crazy……”
“Many thanks for your praise, many people all say this.”
“But I’m very happy talking to a crazy person like you, especially when we’re two thousand kilometers away, which makes me even more happy.”
“Is that so? Then you’re welcome to talk to me whenever you have nothing to do.”
“Good, I’ll come and talk to you in the night and I’ll choose when Still is by your side.”
Hearing Seveni’s voice coming from the Magic Communicator with a bit of playfulness in her laughter, Xu Yi helplessly rolled his eyes.
This should be an era defining significant moment, the first real long distance international call on the Sines Continent. In the end, it was turned into a call used for gossipping which really made him a bit speechless.
Two months ago, the magic communication network was finally finished in the Stantine Duchy. At the same time, the special communication line to Anvilmar City was also just finished and it was connected just last week. This was their first formal test call.
This morning, Akali who was responsible for this had pulled Xu Yi to the communication room to let him have the first call with Seveni who was two thousand kilometers away in Anvilmar City. It was to let this call that had historical value become even more significant.
But he never thought that after their talk about the war between the Rudson Kingdom and the Candra Empire which could be considered important, what came after next was trivial matters between men and women.
“Relax, Still wouldn’t mind and…..Still has been busy during this time, she only has a few days of the month to be by me.” Xu Yi replied with a sigh.
“Un, I know, she’s been in our Lampuri Kingdom during this time. As for during this time……she seems to be promoting the New Moon Chamber of Commerce’s Magic Illusion Entertainment Technology in the Falk Kingdom?”
“Yes, after the Falk Kingdom’s market opens, her next target is the Marlow Empire.”
“Then that means won’t she be even more and more busy in the future? And she would have less and less time to spend with you?”
Xu Yi was silent for a bit before calmly saying, “This is her choice, I support her.”
Seveni on the other side was silent for a bit, but when she spoke, she changed the topic.
“Alright, Xu Yi, let’s not talk about this. It’s hard enough to talk to you, so let’s discuss the heavy magic machine industry companies in our Lampuri Kingdom that you mentioned last time?”
“Alright, I already told you the difference between heavy and light industry last time. Your Lampuri Kingdom’s magic machine companies are all light industry companies, but to build a complete magic machine industry, you can’t just depend on light industry. The most important thing is heavy industry. As for heavy industry, I suggest that you first train some companies that can smelt alloys, then once you have a steady supply of steel and other metal alloys……”
……
The first call ended just like that and it lasted for over an hour.
When Xu Yi came out of the communication room that Akali built, he suddenly realized that if this was on earth, for an international call like this without any special plans, it would cost a shocking amount to have a call that lasted an hour.
But thinking about it, for this single call between him and Seveni, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Lampuri Kingdom had spent over three million gold coins.
