Chapter 27:26: Negotiation (Please read)
Butler Hoover contacted him and finally decided to set the negotiation date for three days later.
December 2, 310 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 get a superficial understanding of all aspects of magic.
But the class time is limited.
The college's management 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 training.
The result is that the students in the college are clearly polarized. Some of them study hard to death, while others enjoy college life.
Basically, in the first grade, everything was relaxed and happy; in the fourth grade, it was a life-and-death struggle, day and night.
Luo Yi is one of the rare people who has been "rolling" 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 Mrs. Cassidy prepared.
Although the old lady mainly runs a rental house, she is also 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 himself along the street.
I have to say that a good car is different. Wherever it passes, pedestrians and carriages almost automatically give way for fear of being bumped into.
There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at the Xiangsheli Magic Energy Textile Factory again.
The same gate, the same brightly lit workshop, and almost the same personnel. The only difference is that both sides are much more serious this time.
Maruna Marquez wore a custom-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 a little 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. Besides, we might see each other more often in the future."
"Hahaha, I hope so. Please come in, 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 past.
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 and a little fat. He was standing at the door of the workshop, looking out secretly with a curious look. He was wearing dirty work clothes.
In fact, there are a few people as curious as him, but he is the only one who meets Oliveira's eyes.
Oliveira's eyes were like 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 atmosphere immediately became more impressive.
As for Roy and Marquis, they sat facing each other around a small silver round table.
Marquez took out his pipe and the person next to him filled it with tobacco and lit it.
He took two puffs, and then sparks flickered and smoke rose, obscuring his face.
It seemed that he wanted to show his calmness and composure 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 that moment, until a moment later, Maruna Marquez finally couldn't help it.
He tapped his pipe against his shoe and said, "Master Loy, Mr. Hoover should have conveyed my opinion to you. That is my greatest sincerity.
What do you think? "
"Of course I'm not satisfied, otherwise, why would I come?"
Marquis's mouth corners fell, and the smile on his face slightly retreated. He asked, "Then I'd like to hear what you think?"
His tone was quite aggressive, but Keluo Yi remained indifferent and said, "First of all, I admit that your assessment is fair. Considering the brand and assets of the Xiangsheli Magic Energy Textile Factory, 40% of the shares at 1,200 gold tyres is indeed not expensive.
"It's a good deal, with a return on investment of two years and a profit of three. But why can't Mr. Maruna borrow money for such a good deal?"
Marquis's face immediately drooped. He said, "Master Luo Yi, I am sincere. Are you here to tease me?"
“How could that be!”
Luo Yi slowly put down the teacup and asked, "However, I'm afraid Mr. Maruna has not had an easy time during this period, right?
The family has shrunk 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?"
Marquis 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 make fun of 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's eyes. "Oakland City, the territory of the Marquis family, has been inherited for 231 years. It is considered the Marquis family's core territory."
"But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the great Emperor, Hohenzollern III, has made up his mind to promote magical 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 wouldn't have dared to invest all of their wealth to start this magical machinery factory and run it so successfully."
Everyone likes to hear good words, especially when they are spoken by your "opponent". Marquez's expression became much better.
He sat down angrily and said, "It seems that Master Luo Yi has done a very thorough investigation."
"Since this is a business deal, 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 Hohenzollern III's reforms."
"Some time ago, I heard that Baron Marquis was reprimanded by His Majesty, and it even became a laughing stock among the aristocratic circles."
“Oakland City is the fiefdom of your Marquis family, but this consul is from a royal family.
, a powerful man who came from a military background, who does things almost unscrupulously.
What do you think is the purpose of his coming here?"
"You actually see all of this very clearly and thoroughly, so you're thinking about breaking the impasse and bringing in additional forces."
"The Duchy of Normandy, 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 just wanted to appear 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 seen through, the performance was meaningless, and the denial was even more meaningless.
He stretched his body again, as if taking off all disguises.
"Since Young Master Luo Yi knows everything, why don't you put forward some conditions?
I believe that since you are here, you must get it. 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 1,000 gold tyres!"
Even though he was prepared, Marquis still jumped up again: "You're asking for too much! This is absolutely impossible!"
As for the magic industry, how can we miss the starting point of everything, the textile industry?
