Volume 4 Chapter 32 Private elf guards
Xu Yi didnât already didnât know how many people had asked if he was crazy.
Since he announced that he was giving up his noble title at the high level member Frestech Chamber of Commerce meeting, everyone who knew him well would always ask him this question.
Even those people who didnât know him well and were only acquaintances, even thought they didnât ask him directly, it was easy to guess that they were thinking the same in their hearts.
When he told them that he agreed to City Lord Kamadoâs countless request, deepening their cooperation with the kingdomâs magic machine industry management department. After transferring a series of the magic machine technology only their company owned, not just Seveni called him crazy. Even his subordinates that admired him and followed his orders to the best of their abilities also looked at him with doubt.
Was sir chairmanâŠâŠreally crazy?
Otherwise with sir chairmanâs wisdom, how could he not see the serious consequences for agreeing to the requests of the department?
It wasnât exaggerated to say that although the department was just having the Frestech Chamber of Commerce give a portion to the ten companies, it could be seen that from now on, the department would have more requests and even force orders onto them.
When that time comes, Xu Yi who had lost his noble status and the two strong backers of Lampuri Thirteenth and her highness Seveni, how would he be able to resist King Eric and the large nobles behind him?
To be more precise, Xu Yi agreeing to this condition was no different from submitting the Frestech Chamber of Commerce into the hands of the greedy nobles!
This was what everyone could see, it was impossible that Xu Yi couldnât see this, so why did he do this?
Among the people who knew Xu Yi, other than a few didnât understand a few things and were unwilling to ask him like Stil or Great Magician Camilla, or those that followed Xu Yi blindy like Agnes or Vivian, the only one who understood and supported Xu Yiâs decision wasnât human.
âActually I think that your choice is vey smart, I donât understand why your subordinates worry so much.â
There was a confused look on elder Illusiaâs face that was like that of a young girl.
âSince the biggest backers of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce have disappeared from the Lampuri Kingdom, it is impossible to develop as easily as before. Isnât choosing to withdraw and finding another path a very normal thing?â
Xu Yi gave a shrug and said with a faint smile, âThereâs a saying in my hometown, itâs that the observer can see clearly and those too close to the problem are muddled. Elder Illusia, you are an elf, so you can see things more clearly in our human society. Rather the subordinates of our company, because their benefits are closely linked to the company, of course they canât see the true meaning behind my decision.â
âPerhaps this is it.â Elder Illusia gave a nod before looking at Xu Yi with a bit of curiosity, âYou say that your subordinates are muddled, then what about you? If oneâs talking about benefits related to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, no one can compare to you, right? Why can you see this clearly and make such a straightforward decision? No matter what, arenât you considered a part of this?â
Xu Yi smiled, thinking that he wasnât considered a part of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, he wasnât even considered a part of this world.
This was the natural psychological advantage of transmigrating, it was hard to clearly state it.
âItâs because the goal Iâm chasing is bigger than anyone has imagined.â Xu Yi gave a vague explanation with a smile. He looked around before saying, âLetâs not discuss this insignificant matter, letâs talk about the real business. Elder Illusia, in the conditions City Lord Kamado put forth from the kingdom parliament and the management department, it also includes the plastic processing factory your Night Song Tribe owns. Their request is that your Night Song Tribe masters would share the plastic processing techniques, what is your opinion on this matter?â
âImpossible.â Although elder Illusiaâs reply was calm, there was a strong conviction in it, âThese techniques are things that only our Night Song Tribe possesses, we canât give it to them easily.â
Xu Yi smiled, looking like he wasnât surprised.
âGood, then according to the message from City Lord Kamado, since the Night Song Tribe isnât willing to share the technology, the Night Song Tribeâs factory will not be considered a part of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce. According to the laws from the kingdomâs parliament, because the Night Song Tribeâs factory do not belong to any human companies, they are no longer acknowledged by the kingdomâs business department and must be demolished within a certain deadline.â
âWhat about the Moon Shadow Tribeâs fertilizer factory?â Elder Illusia asked.
âItâs taken care of the same.â
âThe greedy ones among you humans really are greedy.â Elder Illusia revealed a taunting smile, âItâs no wonder chairman Xu contacted us to prepare ahead of time, you already expected the reaction of these humans.â
âI was just preparing for a rainy day.â Xu Yi said, âIn short, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce canât protect ourselves now, so of course you guys also need to prepare ahead of time.â
âUn, it isnât hard to prepare for this, butâŠâŠâ Elder Illusia slightly knit her brows, âChairman Xu, are you certain about us creating a factory in the Black Rice Wasteland? That is the territory of the beastmen, it wonât be convenient. In my opinion, it is better to build the factory in the Falling Rain Forest, the humans canât bother us there for now.â
âBut you wouldnât be able to go out as easily, right?â Xu Yi asked back, âElder Illusia, I think that you are very clear on the importance of industrial development. Itâs no doubt safe in the Falling Rain Forest, but because transport is inconvenient, it will hinder the transport of raw materials and products, so it will be quite bad for the development of your factory.â
Elder Illusia thought for a bit before nodding.
âThat is right. When we chose to settle in the Falling Rain Forest, it was because it was hard for humans to come in, so we wouldnât be harassed by humans that much there. Looking at it now, it is indeed unfavourable.â
âOther than the transport problem, there is another important problem. It is that for the plastic processing factory to become stronger, you wouldnât be satisfied with just one factory, right? In the Falling Rain Forest, you are limited by the terrain and which limit your prospects for development. This is a very realistic issue.â
âUn, I have to admit, you have more experience than me in this aspect, so you think further into the future.â Elder Illusia considered it a bit before saying with a nod, âAlright, I will let Amelud go pick a place in the Black Rice Wasteland suited for the factory. But moving to the Black Rice Wasteland and transporting plastic goods to Banta City, wouldnât the transport cost be higher because of the distance?â
âItâs very simple, just add some of the cost to the price.â Xu Yi said with a smile.
Elder Illusia looked at Xu Yi in surprise, âChairman Xu, your Frestech Chamber of Commerce uses quite a bit of plastic products in your magic machines.â
âIt doesnât matter.â Xu Yi gave a shrug, âYou just need to treat everyone equally. As for the pressure brought on by the increase in the price of plastic productsâŠâŠit isnât just our Frestech Chamber of Commerce who would feel it.â
Elder Illusia thought that Xu Yi was feeling schadenfreude, not understanding why he would be so relaxed in this situation.
After determining the matter of moving the Night Song Tribeâs factory, Xu Yi thought of another request elder Illusia had made.
Because Xu Yi gave up his title, the Falling Rain Valley had been taken back. This meant that the guards for the Falling Rain Valley that was made up of dwarves and elves had disappeared.
These guards that had two hundred dwarves and one hundred and fifty elves were no longer guards in name. The two hundred dwarves joined the Frestech Chamber of Commerceâs guards, but the elves kept the pride of the elves and didnât make the same choice.
Xu Yi had naturally wasnât requesting elder Illusia to have those hundred and fifty elves join the Frestech Chamber of Commerceâs guards, rather he hoped that they would be the Frestech Chamber of Commerceâs Black Rice Wasteland production baseâs guards.
In name, it was because the Night Song Tribeâs factory would be moving to that base, so they could be the guards for the Night Song Tribeâs factory.
As for protecting the base, they could do it since they had time.
Hearing Xu Yiâs description, elder Illusia suddenly broke out in laughter.
Xu Yi was surprised, âElder Illusia, is there something funny? I racked my brains to come up with this plan to preserve the prestige of the elven warriors, can you accept this or not?â
Elder Illusia smiled like a flower as she looked at Xu Yi, âActually, chairman Xu, you donât need to think that much. I thinkâŠ..even if you had them become your personal guards, they wouldnât reject.â
âHow could that be possible!â Xu Yi had a look of disbelief, âI thought of every way to have them become our companyâs guards, but they never agreed. Agnes also told me that it is basically impossible because it went against the principles of the elves. Since they donât want to join our companyâs guards, how could they become my private guards?â
âBecause thereâs a difference between you and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.â Elder Illusia said with a faint smile, âThe Frestech Chamber of Commerce is a human company, so naturally we elves canât completely accept it. Joining the guards of the company is becoming the forces of humans, so this would go against the principles of us elves.â
âThen why does it not violate it to become my private guards? I am a human.â Xu Yu said in a surprised voice.
âThis is different.â Elder Illusia shook her head, âAlthough you are a human, because you have solved the problem with our tribeâs water source, you have already been recognized by everyone in our tribe. Our Night Song Tribe doesnât treat you like a normal human, rather you are one of us. Becoming your private guard isnât a difficult thing to accept for the warriors of our tribe.â
Xu Yi blinked his eyes in a daze, âItâs that simple?â
âJust that simple.â Elder Illusia nodded with a smile, âChairman Xu, I think that you have never asked Furio and the others if they were willing to become your private guards, right?â
âI havenât.â Xu Yi shook his head, âI thought that they definitely wouldnât accept it, so I never thought of asking.â
âAlright, ask them now. I think that Furio and the others would be very glad to do so.â
Receiving the encouragement of elder Illusia, Xu Yi became excited.
