Volume 7 Chapter 64 - Chimera Chamber of Commerce stirring up trouble

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s countermeasures…..There weren’t any countermeasures.

At least to an outsider, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce should have taken some sort of action after losing someone as important as Kennard, that way they could guarantee that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t be too impacted.

However, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce didn’t make any special moves after Kennard’s press conference. They just announced that they had several projects that they were working on with Kennard’s newly formed Dawn Chamber of Commerce and everything else went along as usual.

The various companies under the Frestech Chamber of Commerce name continued producing and selling their products normally. Their products were welcomed all over the Sines Continent and sold all over.

As for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce itself, other than Xu Yi announcing an unknown person named Glarus taking over Kennard’s position as the second CEO of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, there were no other visible changes.

This phenomenon surprised many people.

Kennard’s importance to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was clear. Now that he had suddenly left, it was impossible to say that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t be affected at all.

Perhaps…..there was no effect now, but they would be able to see it in the long term?

The people who had these guesses started to care more about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

In the beginning of October, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce suddenly sent a cooperation agreement to the Frestech Household Magic Machine Chamber of Commerce and the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce, hoping for all three sides to work together. They would work together on the household magic machine network plan that the Frestech Household Magic Machine Chamber of Commerce proposed three years ago to the southwest province.

This plan would be to use the magic communication network laid down by the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce to link all the Frestech Brand household magic machines, creating a household magic machine network.

The foundation of this network would be the breakthrough that Akali’s team had just made in the communication network technology.

The magic communication network was only developed for communication, but after Akali’s team had worked on it for a long time, they found that the magic signal wasn’t just used for communication and could be used in many different places.

After studying the magic fluctuations going through magic space and then being changed by the Magic Array many times, Akali’s team had already been able to send images through magic signals.

If they went further with this, it might be possible to create a whole new magic network that was just like the communication network on earth.

With this foundation, it was simple to pass down some simple orders with the magic communication network.

So the actual role of this household magic machine network was to connect all Frestech Brand household magic machines in an enclosed network, allowing it to draw on a single energy source. This would help the family save a lot of space, while also saving on their consumption.

At the same time, if the house was equipped with magic communication equipment, they could connect to the Frestech Magic Network with this equipment. Then they could rely on this magic network to obtain many new functions.

The most simple of this was long distance communication. For more complicated functions, they could directly receive magic illusion signals from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, watching the Magic Illusion Films on their family’s Magic Illusion Projector.

It sounded very troublesome, but to explain it simply, it would be like installing a telephone and a TV in a household, allowing them to make calls and watch programs through the magic network.

Of course, because this household magic machine network was only designed to work with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it would only work for the Frestech Brand household magic machines.

But the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had also announced that as their research in this field developed, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would be able to provide a simple transfer box. It would allow the other brands of household magic machines to connect to the magic network without any obstructions.

Of course, that was on the premise that the other brands would use the same standard as the Frestech Brand.

Before Akali’s team finished developing this, in the past three years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been trying to promote the construction of the magic network in the Stantine Duchy.

So far, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce has invested twenty three million gold coins. They had successfully completed building the household magic machine network in all the cities and towns of the Stantine Duchy.

In theory, for anyone in the Stantine Duchy, they could talk to anyone else in the Stantine Duchy.

The households that were connected to this network could watch the New Moon Chamber of Commerce’s latest works at home. With the Magic Illusion programming that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce provided, it reached the same level of entertainment in a normal household on earth.

However, before Sancheli made a major breakthrough in the multi thread magic synchronization research, the magic network was limited and wasn’t very convenient, so Xu Yi had controlled its speed of development.

Until about six months ago when Sancheli made another breakthrough in the technology that Xu Yi finally authorized him in applying his technology to the magic network. The current magic communication network in the Stantine Duchy could take over ten thousand magic signal requests at the same time.

Although it was far from being able to compare to the standard on earth, it was truly a large increase in the foundational capacity.

So the Frestech Chamber of Commerce started promoting it in the Stantine Duchy and after a month, the magic network in the Stantine Duchy had already started taking shape.

It was at this time that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce suddenly asked to cooperate with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce which was quite surprising.

Because even for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the Stantine Duchy, they were only in the experimental stage, they weren’t able to confirm if the magic network was stable or not.

If they were to promote this in the southwest province of the Candra Empire that was over ten times bigger than the Stantine Duchy, it was just too risky.

“Sir chairman, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce stated that they were willing to provide 70% of the funding and take all the risks in this project, they just need our company to provide the technology and manpower. We wouldn’t need to manage anything and they would be in charge of building this magic network. Do you think…..this is good?” Ankhto knitted his brows as he asked Xu Yi this.

The Chimera Chamber of Commerce’s conditions were so good that he almost felt like they were cheating them. So he didn’t hold back at all and came to ask for Xu Yi’s advice.

Following him was chairman Kakaro from the Frestech Communication Chamber of Commerce. Once he heard that Ankhto was finished, he added, “Un, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce gave very good conditions when they came to discuss this with our company. Moreover, they promised that they would greatly invest in our company installing the magic communication network in the Candra Empire, guaranteeing that we can complete this as soon as possible.”

“In short……the Chimera Chamber of Commerce just told you that you don’t need to care about anything else, you just need to help them build this magic network?” Xu Yi asked back.

Ankhto and Kakaro nodded at the same time.

“Then did you tell them that our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has already spent twenty three million gold coins to install this magic network in the Stantine Duchy?”

“We did, but……” Ankhto and Kakaro looked at each other with helpless looks, “The Chimera Chamber of Commerce stated that money isn’t a problem, it wouldn’t even be a problem if they had to invest several more times than this…….”

“It’s good that they have the money……” Xu Yi couldn’t help saying in an emotional voice. Then after being silent for a bit, he asked, “Then what do you think?”

Ankhto and Kakaro looked at each other again. They knew that the sir chairman never wanted his subordinates to be hesitant and wanted them to have their own ideas, so this time was clearly not an exception.

After Ankhto thought about it for a bit, he said with a serious look, “Sir chairman, I think that this is a good chance. Although our Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already signed the contract to lay down the magic communication network in the two empires, because of how big the project was and how much it cost, the progress in the two empires has always been slow. Now that the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, this company with enough finances wants to invest, it will definitely be a great help in promoting the magic network across the two empires.”

Xu Yi nodded before turning to Kakaro.

“What about you? Do you think the same as Ankhto?”

Kakaro was silent for a bit before giving a nod, “Sir chairman, although I have my doubts about the goals of the Chimera Chamber of Commerce and that they don’t have good intentions, after carefully considering it, I feel that this is a golden opportunity that’s very hard to come by. If we miss this, it will be very difficult to lay down the magic network in the two empires just with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce alone, so……”

“So you also approve of working with the Chimera Chamber of Commerce?” Xu Yi asked with a smile.

Kakaro didn’t hesitate this time and gave a nod.

Xu Yi immediately began laughing.

“Since you two have already decided on this, what are you asking me for? I’ve already said it, now that you are your own individual company, you should make the decisions yourself and you don’t need to ask me.”

“But…..But this matter was too important, so Kakaro and I felt that we should get sir chairman’s approval.” Ankhto said.

“Actually, compared to sir chairman’s approval, we wanted sir chairman’s guidance more. Sir chairman has already taken the long approach and the Chimera Chamber of Commerce’s methods are just too strange that Ankhto and I don’t feel confident. As long as sir chairman agrees, then we will be more assured.” Kakaro said.

“Alright, stop flattering me, there’s no benefits.” Xu Yi waved his hand with a smile, “As for this matter…..of course it’s a good thing. Your judgment is correct, the Chimera Chamber of Commerce investing in erecting this magic network will be of great help. After the magic network is built, the various products of our company will find it easier to enter the Candra Empire, so this is a very good project to cooperate on.”

Hearing Xu Yi’s words, Ankhto and Kakaro’s expressions relaxed.

“But……” Xu Yi’s voice suddenly sank that made their relaxed expressions become tense again, “You have to remember, you have to find what it is that attracted the Chimera Chamber of Commerce, you have to determine what is the most appealing to them. Remember to hold onto that thing, it will be the core for your own long term development. Do you understand what I mean?”

Ankhto and Kakaro slightly knitted their brows as they fell into deep thought.
