Book 6: Chapter 115: Breaking the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s monopoly
After learning of the news that Arch Magus Alaster had left, Xu Yi immediately went looking for Arch Magus Camilla.
"Grandfather, Arch Magus Alaster agreed?" Xu Yi asked with a hopeful look.
"How could it be that easy?" Arch Magus Camilla rolled his eyes, "He is an Arch Magus, every single move he makes is closely watched, so how could he do whatever he wants."
"Then it sounds like it didn’t work?" Xu Yi’s expression was filled with disappointment.
"It isn’t a complete no." Arch Magus Camilla shook his head, "Although Alaster didn’t clearly say it, based on what I could see, it isn’t a problem to ask him to work on this research project, but it should be impossible for you to have him do anything else. Anyways, don’t think that you can buy him from the Marlow Empire for just fifty thousand gold coins a year."
Xu Yi couldn’t help laughing, "Grandfather, aren’t you underestimating me? If it’s only fifty thousand gold coins a year for an Arch Magus, I would buy as many as I could."
"But you’re only giving me ten thousand gold coins a year." Arch Magus Camilla rolled his eyes.
"This……" Xu Yi looked at Arch Magus Camilla before breaking out in a laugh, "Grandfather, you’re a different matter. The entire company knows who you are and as long as you want, you can take as much as you want. But you did remind me of this, giving you only ten thousand a year is my mistake. You are now an Arch Magus, it wouldn’t be right if we took out some money for your salary. Un…..How about this, your salary will be increased to fifty thousand gold coins a year, how about that?"
Arch Magus Camilla was surprised before waving his hand, "I was just joking, what are you giving me all this money for? I have everything I want in the company and I have no need for money, so you might as well use that money for something else."
"This money is also an advertisement, so please don’t decline it." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Advertisement? I say, Xu Yi, don’t think too much. Although Alaster might agree to help us with the research, it’s impossible to hire him into the company, so give up this idea." Arch Magus Camilla said with a serious look.
"I never hoped that we would be able to hire Arch Magus Camilla and never want to hide any other Arch Magi, but this can be considered a signal for the other magicians of the continent. As long as you’re willing to work with our Frestech Chamber of Commerce, we’ll give you a proper reward. The higher the rank, the greater the reward. Moreover, with the example of Arch Magus Alaster, I’ve found a new method of cooperation."
"New method of cooperation?"
"Grandfather, you should know it. Hasn’t our company been cooperating with Great Magician Eisenkel the entire time?"
"Eisenkel?" Arch Magus Camilla let out a snort as his eyes filled with disdain, "This fellow has taken so many gold coins and resources from our company, but he hasn’t developed anything useful yet. I urge you to stop cooperating with him."
"Let’s not talk about whether he has had any results yet, but this type of investing from our company, inviting magicians with power to cooperate with us in developing things is quite good. For example, as long as Arch Magus Alaster agees, there will be another Arch Magus participating in studying the high energy output system, which will save quite a bit of time. Don’t you think so?"
