Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 27:26: Negotiation (Seeking follow-up reading)
Butler Hoover contacted him and finally set the negotiation time for three days later.

December 310, 12 of the New Divine Calendar, was also Sunday, and the Magic Academy gave students a day off.

Philante School of Magic is also unique. There are so many courses to learn and the exposure is very broad. You can only have a superficial understanding of all aspects of magic.

But the class time is limited.

The management of the college is also very relaxed. There are many activities after class and two days of rest a week.

But the problem is that graduation is extremely difficult.

Credits are just the basis. In addition, there are papers, assessments, defenses, and practical experience.

The result is that the students in the college are clearly polarized: either they study hard to death or they enjoy college life.

Basically, in the first grade, everything was relaxed and happy; in the fourth grade, it was a life-and-death struggle, regardless of day or night.

Luo Yi is a rare person who has been studying hard since the first grade. Even on weekends, he maintains his original schedule.

He gets up early when he should, goes to college when he should, and trains when he should, almost regardless of rain or shine.

As for the lack of a teacher's guidance, all we can say is that he never asked for a teacher's guidance.

However, although he got up early today, he stretched his body on the first floor, practiced the [Cheetah Breathing Method·Accumulation] for a while, and then had a hearty breakfast.

Mrs. Cassidy prepared white bread, sausage, bacon and fragrant milk tea today.

Roy and Oliveira each ate enough for two people and almost finished all the food prepared by Mrs. Cassidy.

Although the old lady mainly runs a rental house, she is very happy that her food is so popular.

When they left the rental house, Butler Hoover had been waiting for a long time in his carriage. The carriage was naturally the luxurious version left by Count Raymond, which was a big hit wherever it went.

Roy and Oliveira got in the car, and Butler Hoover drove the car himself, driving along the street.

I have to say, a good car is different. Wherever it passes, pedestrians and carriages will almost automatically give way for fear of being bumped into.

There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory again.

The same gate, the same brightly lit workshop, and almost the same personnel. The only difference was that both sides were much more serious this time.

Maruna Marquez wore a tailor-made gentleman's suit, which looked straight and smooth, and his hair was combed back and meticulously groomed.

The factory executives behind him were all dressed very neatly. If you didn’t know, you would think they were going to a party.

However, Maruna's eyes were still somewhat absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.

When the carriage approached, he looked up and saw the luxurious carriage and the lion emblem engraved on it. His eyes immediately brightened.

"Master Luo Yi, long time no see!"

"Mr. Maruna, it's not too long, and maybe we'll see each other more often in the future."

"Hahaha, I hope so. Please come in and we'll talk inside."

"please!"

"please!"

After a few pleasantries, everyone walked inside. This time they went to the factory director's office. A group of people walked by.

However, when he reached a certain position, Oliveira suddenly turned his head and his eyes seemed to be locked on someone.

The man was about forty years old, a little fat. He stood at the door of the workshop and was secretly looking outside. He seemed curious and was wearing dirty work clothes.

In fact, there are a few people as curious as he is, but he is the only one who catches Oliveira's eye.

Oliveira's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and the man he stabbed immediately lowered his head, as if in panic.

But Oliveira just looked at him deeply, and nothing happened. He turned around again without stopping.

The fat man didn't raise his head until they all went up to the second floor and entered the factory director's office.

There was panic and fear in his eyes, but more of it was resentment.

Factory director's office.

All the outsiders were cleared out, leaving only two people on Marquez's side, one tall and one short, both of whom were his right-hand men.

On Loy's side, Butler Hoover and Oliveira were fighting on both sides, and the situation immediately became more serious.

As for Roy and Marquis, they sat facing each other around a small silver round table.

Marquez took out his pipe, and the man next to him filled it with tobacco and lit it.

He took two puffs, and sparks flickered, smoke rose, and covered his face. It seemed that he wanted to show his calmness in this way, but unfortunately, the more he tried to hide it, the more obvious it became.

Luo Yi, on the other hand, was really relaxed. He held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and seemed to be enjoying it very much.

The huge office was very quiet at this moment, until a moment later, when Maruna Marquez finally couldn't help it.

He tapped his pipe against his shoe and said, "Master Loy, Mr. Hoover should have brought my opinion to you, which is my greatest sincerity.

What do you think? "

"Of course I am dissatisfied, otherwise, why would I come?"

Marquis's mouth corners fell, and the smile on his face slightly retreated. He asked: "Then I would like to hear what your opinion is?"

His tone was very aggressive, but Keluoyi still said indifferently: "First of all, I admit that your evaluation is fair. Considering the brand and assets of Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory, 40% of the shares are priced at 1200 gold tyres, which is indeed not expensive.

It takes two years to recover the investment and three years to make money. This deal is very cost-effective. But why can't Mr. Maruna borrow money for such a cost-effective deal? "

With that, Marquis's face immediately drooped. He said, "Master Luo Yi, I am sincere. Are you here to tease me?"

"How could that happen!"

Luo Yi slowly put down the teacup and asked, "However, I'm afraid Mr. Maruna has not had a good time during this period, right?
The family has withdrawn its power and is unwilling to provide much support, while external pressure continues to come, with creditors coming to the door every day.

Mr. Maruna probably hasn't experienced that feeling in many years, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Marquez stood up in a flash, and the collision between his boots and the chair caused the chair to fall over completely.

With red eyes, he said, "Master Luo Yi, if you are here to amuse me, you can leave now."

"Entertain you? I don't have time for that!"

Luo Yi raised his head slightly and looked directly into Marquis' eyes: "Oakland City, the territory of the Marquis family, has been inherited for 231 years. It is considered the base of the Marquis family."

"But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the great Emperor Hohenzollern III has made up his mind to promote magic energy machinery, and has even made many efforts and reforms to this end."

"I believe Mr. Maruna Marquis is wise and has great foresight. Otherwise, a branch of your family would not have dared to invest all of their wealth to open this magic machinery factory and run it prosperously."

Everyone likes to hear good words, especially when they are said by your "opponent". Marquez's expression became much better.

He sat down angrily and said, "It seems that Master Luo Yi has investigated it very clearly?"

"Since we are talking about business, we must be absolutely sure."

Luo Yi said this, and then whispered: "It's a pity that no matter how unique your vision is, you can't get the support of the Marquis family.

As an old noble family, the interests of the Marquis family are highly tied to their territory and population, and are bound to have huge conflicts with the development of magical machinery.

Therefore, you are a stumbling block on the road of reform of Hohenzollern III."

"Some time ago, I heard that Baron Marquis was reprimanded by His Majesty, and even became a topic of conversation among the aristocrats."

“Oakland City is the fief of your Marquis family, but this consul is from a royal family.

, a powerful man who came from a military background, who would do anything to achieve his goals.

What do you think is the purpose of his coming here? "

"You actually see all of this very clearly and thoroughly, so you want to break the situation and bring in additional forces."

"The Norman Duchy, the Raymond Family, a thousand-year-old noble family, can give you enough support!"

At this moment, Marquez had completely calmed down, or rather, he was extremely calm to begin with, but he was acting very agitated.

Only in this way can others believe that he has been pushed to the limit and has shown his utmost sincerity.

Everything is for business.

However, at this moment, when all the inside stories were revealed, there was no point in performing, and even less meaning in denying.

He stretched his body again, as if he had taken off all his disguises.

“Since Master Luo Yi knows everything, why don’t you put forward some conditions?
I believe that since you are here, you must have it, and I also want to see how big your appetite is. "

"I want absolute control, 60% of the shares. From now on, this magic power plant will belong to the Raymond family.

For this, I will pay 1000 gold tyres!"

Even though he was prepared, Marquez still jumped up again: "You are asking for too much, this is impossible!"

　How can the magical industry be without the beginning of everything, the textile industry?
