Volume 6 Chapter 48 - Investment involves risks (2/2)

Xu YI revealed a faint smile, “Your majesty, please be assured. The Magic Rockets are currently being assembled, if nothing goes wrong, the first batch of two thousand should be transported in three days.”

“Three days?” King Teruc looked at the east before giving a slow nod, “That is acceptable. The Candra Empire should be spending several times to prepare, they won’t be in a rush to start the war again.”

“If they still can’t learn to be discrete after this defeat, I really will be too disappointed in the Candra Empire.” Xu Yi said with a smile.

“It’s it better if they’re dumb?” King Teruc took a sip of tea and paused before continuing, “That way it’s easier for us to win this war and your Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s military magic machines will shine even brighter. Wouldn’t we both be satisfied with these results?”

Xu Yi spread his hands and gave a shrug, “I’m worried that if they are too dumb to understand the situation here, it will be very hard for us to open the market in the Candra Empire in the future.”

“Your worries are unnecessary.” King Teruc shook his head and pointed to the east, “The eyes of the entire continent are on this battle, everyone has recognized the role of the military magic machines. I’m certain that when this war is over…..Oh, no, it should be before this is even over, there will be many people looking for your company to buy military magic machines. Chairman Xu, how are you planning on dealing with this?”

“If I said that I wanted to sell to the Candra Empire first, would your majesty believe me?”

King Teruc was silent for a bit before shaking his head with a smile, “Chairman Xu, this joke isn’t good. If you did do this, our Rudson Kingdom can only be defeated by the Candra Empire.”

Xu Yi gave a laugh before waving his hands, “Alright, let’s not waste time with this meaningless idle talk. Your majesty, as for us working together to build a gear factory, do you have any suggestions?”

King Teruc thought about it, “This gear factory’s location should be chosen by my side and your Frestech Chamber of Commerce shouldn’t have any nominal control over it. To put it simply, this gear factory should be independently operated by our Rudson Kingdom.”

Xu Yi was a bit surprised. After thinking about it, he slightly knitted his brows, “Your majesty, this is different from what we discussed before. If our company doesn’t have any relationship with this gear factory, if we want to continue investing in this factory in the future, there will be many problems. This isn’t good for both our sides, is it?”

“No, chairman Xu, there are many problems for our Rudson Kingdom, but there shouldn’t be any problems for your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, right?” King Teruc pointed to the east, “I actually understand your company’s worries about supporting our Rudson Kingdom, so before the situation becomes clear, I think that it is better for your company to not have any clear relationships with us.”

Xu Yi was really surprised this time. He looked at King Teruc in surprise for a bit before slowly shaking his head.

“No, your majesty. Do you know, when our company discussed this matter, there were many people who had the same idea as you and hoped that our company wouldn’t be obvious in our support of your Rudson Kingdom, but I rejected this. Do you know why?”

King Teruc narrowed his eyes to look at Xu Yi, “Why? No matter what perspective you consider this from, the Rudson Kingdom can’t fight the Candra Empire. Even if it was me, before the first fight, I also wasn’t confident in this. Chairman Xu, why are you so confident in us?”

“I’m not confident in your Rudson Kingdom, I’m confident in our company.” Xu Yi said with a faint smile, “Or to put it from another angle, as a merchant, the income that comes from investing in your Rudson Kingdom is greater than investing in the Candra Empire. If we supported the Candra Empire, although they could easily defeat the Rudson Kingdom, that does not mean that the Candra Empire would place importance on our company. Moreover, once the Rudson Kingdom was destroyed, the Stantine Duchy would be facing the Candra Empire, which is not what I want to see.”

King Teruc was silent for a bit before slowly nodding, “I understand what you mean, but chairman Xu, doing this, your company……Or perhaps I should say that you are taking too many risks. Is this really worth it?”

Xu Yi gave a shrug, “A merchant who isn’t willing to take risks isn’t a good merchant.”

“But chairman Xu, are you certain the people of your company are willing to take the same risks as you?”

Xu Yi pointed at his feet, “I think……that what is below explains everything.”

King Teruc turned to look at the motorcade that was gradually moving further away and he gave a nod.

“If your majesty isn’t assured in my sincerity, then this thing will definitely make you much more confident in us.”

Xu Yi slid over a box to King Teruc with a smile.

King Teruc’s eyes narrowed as he took the box without hesitation.

When he opened the box, he found a blueprint, as well as a mold that was made from metal.

King Teruc picked up the Magic Repeating Crossbow arrows that he had just put down and put them perfectly into the mold, without a single deviation.
