Magic Industry Empire

"This..." Major McKelly opened his mouth, and for a long time he took a long breath and smiled bitterly: "Xu Huichang, this price... is too expensive..."

"Is it expensive?" Xu also shook his head. "Major, I thought that after you read the drawings, you should be very clear about the power of this magic trebuchet. With such a powerful power, do you think this magic trebuchet might be cheap?"

"I know this, but..." Maiconli's face was full of helpless smiles. "This price is still too high. I don't want you to say that our logistics department's budget for this year is less than 300,000 gold coins, and less than 100,000 of them are used in military equipment. If it is not with your new flying business association Cooperating to build an arsenal, the cost of supplying armor weapons has dropped several times, so I can't even get more than one copper plate."

Xu also could not help but shook his head, thinking that the Kingdom of Lampari was really poor. The annual financial income was less than two million gold coins. The military expenses were only 300,000 gold coins. It was simply pitiful.

So little money is enough to ensure that the daily expenses of the military are already stretched. It is no wonder that Major Macquarie will spit up every time he sees himself.

However, sympathy is sympathy, and this price is not a copper coin.

"Major, although I want to help you, the cost of this magic trebuchet is too high. If you don't say it, it takes more than three tons of steel to make a magic trebuchet. And this new steel The sales price of our chamber of commerce is up to 100 gold coins per ton. In addition to the material cost, labor costs are a big expense, and the most important thing is the research and development expenses. In order to develop this magic trebuchet. Our Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute The magicians, along with the Camilla Grand Sorcerer, and the magical mechanical engineers at the Magic Machine Tool R&D workshop have spent more than two months on this day, forgetting to eat and sleep every day, even working overnight. Think... Is the price of one thousand gold coins high?"

"It is not high." Major McKelly nodded and sighed: "But Xu is the president. The problem is that our military department does not have so much money. With the remaining budget this year, the military is probably the most. It’s good to buy only three."

"If you want to buy it, you don't have to spend gold coins..." Xu also whispered something.

Major McKelly took a look at Xu Yi and his expression was complicated.

After thinking for a while. He waved his hand: "Don't say this first. Even if you want to buy it, you have to wait until your Chamber of Commerce takes out the real thing and let the big people on the top see the actual effect before they really feel tempted. We are discussing other things now. It’s still too early.”

Seeing that Major McKelly did not intend to talk deeply, Xu also stopped this topic with interest.

Of course, apart from opening this topic, Xu also had a more important purpose for this trip. After seeing Major Macquarie carefully collect the drawings, Xu also extended his hand directly to him.

"Major, I promised that you have done it, then what do you promise me?"

"follow me."

Major McKelly waved to Xu. Take him out of the office and go straight to the training ground outside. Stretching his hand and waving a straight man outside the training field.

The big man ran over and made a clean and negligent ceremony to Major Macquarie. He watched Major Macquarie, and even his eyes were not squinting at Xu.

Look at his awkward physique, straight posture, perseverance and the deep scars on the exposed skin, obviously it should be a veteran of the battlefield.

"Come, Xu Huichang, I will introduce you to him. His name is Hart. He is a veteran who has just retired this year. Since the army, Hart has been fighting **** the northern battlefield and the Sark kingdom. The combat experience is absolutely Enriched. Most importantly, he also served as an instructor of the Northern Army, and he has also led a group of brothers. If he is to be the captain of your Chamber of Commerce Guard, it is definitely the most suitable candidate." Maiconli The major pointed to the big man.

When he heard Major Macquarie, Hart turned his head and looked at Xu Yi.

The two men just slammed together, and Xu also suddenly numb the scalp, and a murderous murderous smothered his face, almost making him a goose bump.

Xu also raised his eyes and took a deep breath, which barely calmed himself down and tried to face Hart as much as possible.

Hart's eyes were extraordinarily bright, and Xu did not avoid his own eyes. He seemed to be slightly stunned, and then his face passed a smile of appreciation.

"You are the president of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Hart took the initiative to reach out. "It’s a lot better than I expected."

Xu also reached out and shook his hand. He smiled and asked: "What should I look like in your imagination?"

"In my imagination, businessmen are garbage that only has money in their eyes!" Hart was unceremonious. "If it is not for the major to find me, and to assure me that you are not the same as other businessmen, I will not come to see you at all."

Major McKelly suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Hou Hui, Hart is this character, you don't have to know him."

Xu Yi haha ​​smiled: "It doesn't matter, I like this straightness. If a soldier like Hart can be the captain of our Chamber of Commerce Guard, I believe that no one will dare to take the initiative to provoke our Chamber of Commerce."

Since both Xu Yi and Hart are satisfied, this meeting is a success.

Under the witness of Major McKelly, Xu also signed an agreement with Hart to hire him to serve as the captain of the new Flyer Guard.

In addition to Hart, Major McKelly also recruited Xu to recruit a total of 200 retired veterans similar to Hart.

These veterans are elite soldiers who have fought in battles. After retiring, they will become the targets of the major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari.

If it weren't for the relationship with Major Macquarie, it would be impossible for Xu to want to get two hundred such veterans in one breath.

Of course, compared to the deep cooperation between the military and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, this requirement can only be regarded as a little bit of a price paid by the military.

After finishing this matter, Xu also left the military. I met again with the Marquis of Joseph.

I came to Anweimar at the time of last year. Xu Yi and José José talked about mining the non-ferrous metal veins in the Kingdom of Lampari.

It’s a few months now. Preparations for both sides have been basically completed, and a non-ferrous metal vein near the city of Karamay has been explored through the dwarves of the Norma tribe and decided to mine.

According to the previous agreement between the two parties, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Joseph family had originally planned to cooperate to open a steel mill near the city of Karamay.

Now that this non-ferrous metal vein has been discovered, Xu has simply expanded the steel-making plant to have the functions of special steel and non-ferrous metals required for the smelting of military equipment.

In this way, the scale of the steel mill can be compared with the steel mills in the rain valley from the beginning.

Even for the Joseph family, the start-up of this steel mill is a very meaningful thing. So for the visit of Xu Yi, the Marquis of Joseph was very cautious.

The negotiation process between the two sides is also very smooth.

The Marquis of Joseph did not reveal too much of his intentions on the surface, but for the adults who are so important in the Kingdom of Lampari, sometimes they can agree on their own opinions as long as they do not clearly indicate their opposition.

Xu also did not expect him to bargain with himself in the bare land like President Morgan. Just after he learned his basic intentions from him, he had already achieved his goal.

The only accident, perhaps it should be that Xu also met Vincent when he left the Marquis.

When I saw Xu Yi, Vincent's face became very exciting.

The last time I was beaten by my father in the face of Xu Yi. After being forced to ask him to apologize to Xu Yi, even Vincent would not be reconciled and angry. However, he also clearly knows that Xu has not been a character with him at all. Even if he hates Xu, he does not dare to really do anything to Xu.

So Vincent just stunned Xu and glanced at him, and he passed by him, but he did not see it.

Xu also naturally does not care about this guy, just smiled and left the Marquis.

This time I came to Anweimar City. Xu also only stayed for three days, and met with Major Macquarie, Marquis Joseph and Essenck Magician.

In addition to important transactions with Major Macquarie, the meeting with Marquis Joseph and the Essenck Grand Sorcerer is only a further confirmation of the previous cooperation, only because of the arrival of Anweimar City. Visiting.

Xu also wanted to take the opportunity to meet with His Royal Highness Servini. It would be best to ask the King to kneel down, but he was told that the Queen's Palace went down to the northern border to inspect it. I don't know when it will come back.

In general, this trip to Anweimar City for Xu Yi, in addition to reaching the most important purpose of his trip, to solve the problem of the escort, did not achieve too much results.

However, from the reaction of Major McKelly, Xu can also be sure that as long as the new Feishang Association can actually make the magic trebuchet, and let the big men of the military really see the great power of the magic trebuchet, then this thing will definitely There are sales channels.

Although Xu also said that it is basically correct to Major McKelly, the cost of the magic trebuchet is very high, but it is still slightly exaggerated.

According to the budget, if the R&D cost is calculated, the cost of a day's magic trebuchet should be between 600 and 700 gold coins.

R&D costs are mainly reflected in mass production. Once the R&D is successful, it will be quickly distributed by mass production and will not occupy such a large proportion.

According to this calculation, the new Feishang Association can obtain a huge profit of more than two hundred gold coins or even nearly three hundred gold coins as long as it can sell a magic stone trebuchet.

The only obstacle is that the military has no money...

But for Xu, this is not a big problem.

Money, Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not so tight.

In comparison, many things that can't be bought with money are the most important. (To be continued.)
