Volume 7 Chapter 25 - Communication Coverage (1/2)

Xu Yi slightly narrowed his eyes while looking at Marquis Southgate with a strange look.

This proposition from the Lord Marquis seemed quite reasonable. The Frestech Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t need to do anything and just needed to let them use their brand, so there were no losses to them at all.

But if one looked at it closely, this was the fake brand that many factories on earth hated or it could be considered a knock off. The consequences created by this could be big or small, but there wouldn’t be any advantage to the brand being faked at all.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn’t say anything, Marquis Southgate seemed to have thought of something as he added with a smile, “I forgot to mention. Chairman Xu, out of the magic machines produced from this, your Frestech Chamber of Commerce will receive 30% of the profits. What do you think?”

Xu Yi paused before slowly and firmly shaking his head.

“No.”

Marquis Southgate was surprised.

He thought that he could discuss this with Xu Yi and even giving 30% of the profits to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was already giving Xu Yi enough face.

If it wasn’t for the fame that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had on the continent, as well as the strong influence that they had in the Marlow Empire, he wouldn’t have considered discussing this with Xu Yi and have already started producing.

In the end, it was just using the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s brand, would the Frestech Chamber of Commerce really dare to cause trouble with him?

But he never thought that Xu Yi would reject him directly, not even having a moderate tone that would leave room for discussion.

“Chairman Xu, why not?” Marquis Southgate knitted his brows to ask, “It’s just using your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s brand, it won’t have any effect. If you fear that the quality isn’t good and will affect your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s prestige, you can send people to supervise the production to ensure the quality.”

Seeing Marquis Southgate’s doubtful look, Xu Yi almost couldn’t help giving a cold laugh.

This Lord Marquis really planned on taking advantage of him. Not only did he want to use the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s brand to increase his sales, he even wanted Xu Yi to send technical staff to help him.

That way Marquis Southgate’s produced household magic machines could compare to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s products, while also having the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s brand. It would sell extremely well and one wouldn’t even need to think to imagine the profits.

The price that Marquis Southgate would pay was just 30% of the profits and some manpower that meant nothing to him.

“No, Lord Marquis, this is impossible.” Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s tone became even more firm and he revealed a look that left no room for discussion, “Only household magic machines factories that are completely controlled by our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can have our brand, other similar products can’t have it.”

Marquis Southgate knitted his brows even more, “It’s really not possible?”

“It’s really not possible.”

Marquis Southgate looked into Xu Yi’s eyes and Xu Yi didn’t turn away at all.

After a while, Marquis Southgate suddenly gave a laugh.

“Alright, since chairman Xu doesn’t agree, then forget it. Un, thinking about it now, I’ve been thinking too simply. Chairman Xu, please don’t mind.”

Xu Yi also revealed a smile, “It’s nothing. Since we’re partners, we can just say whatever ideas we have. If we can’t reach an agreement, it won’t affect our cooperation, right?”

Marquis Southgate nodded, “Un, that’s right, we still cooperate on many things, so even if it doesn\\\'t work this time, there’s still the next time.”

Seeing Marquis Southgate’s simple smile, while Xu Yi had a smile, he couldn’t help giving a sigh deep down.

Marquis Southgate suddenly making this request was clearly a probe.

And Xu Yi not giving any room for discussion would definitely affect their relationship in the end.

But Xu Yi couldn’t do anything since Marquis Southgate’s request had touched one of his principles and it was impossible for him to agree.

Being ambiguous might create a misunderstanding, so it was better to be direct and state his bottom like. It’s better to let the other side recognize this point sooner than later.
