Volume 3 Chapter 110 Observing our standards

The Solaga Art Hall was in the west of Anvilmar City. It was the largest hall and was used to display various pieces of art, like paintings or sculptures, but today, the products displayed within didn’t seem like they were related to art……
“Who says it’s not related!”
The manager of the Solage Art Hall Anlisol waved his hand as he loudly refuted the reporters from the «Anvilmar Morning News».
“Take a look at the incomparably finely made household magic machines from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, look at how beautiful their designs are, how graceful the lines are, and how soulful the structure is. You can feel a strong artistic sense from every part of it! Do you know, each household magic machine is related to the master of the arts, the elf clan, and you dare say that it is unrelated to art!”
“But these household magic machines are things that normal people use in their daily lives, how could they be considered works of art?” The young female reporter still firmly asked this.
Anlisol waved his hand and gave a cold snort, “Who told you that art is separate from life? Let me tell you, it’s the exact opposite! In my daily life, there is the greatest work of art! Do you see the fruit trees outside the window? Every leaf on them is a unique masterpiece in my opinion! Also the chair on the side, look at the unique design it has……” There were only a few reporters gathered around manager Anlisol, but there were countless reporters that surrounded Xu Yi which really left no room around him.
“Chairman Xu, what is the goal of your Frestech Chamber of Commerce in holding this magic machine production technology exchange?” A reporter from the «Anvilmar Times» asked in a loud voice.
Xu Yi nodded in acknowledgement to the reporter and replied with a faint smile, “The production technology exchange is of course to exchange technology. Our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s main business is magic machines, so the technology we’re exchanging is naturally the technology for producing magic machines.”
“Chairman Xu, since you said this is an exchange, does that mean that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce is planning on taking out magic machine production technology that they solely own?” Another reporter asked in a loud voice.
Xu Yi looked at the surrounding reporters and could see the hope in their faces. With a faint smile, he gave a slight nod, “That’s right.”
Hearing this response, all the reporters instantly became excited.
Although through the advertisements and reporters about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce posted in the «Anvilmar Times» and the «Lampuri Weekly», everyone knew that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was planning on selling magic machine production technology, only after Xu Yi admitted it did people feel like it was real. Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a company that had only been established for three years, during these three years, their speed of development shocked everyone.
Using the appraisal of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce from the «Anvilmar Times», it was basically a miracle!
In just over three years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce became a top class company in Banta City with connections in the Stantine Duchy, the Black Rice Wasteland, and the Rudson Kingdom, starting out with nothing at all.
At the same time, the various magic machines produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had penetrated every aspect of the kingdom, entering every household.
No matter which household you walked into right now, you would find at least one or several magic machines produced by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, with the drive of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, a small remote town like Banta City had become a pivotal large city to the kingdom. It had even gradually become the economic center of the entire kingdom.
According to the stats from the kingdom’s labour department, the local and foreign workers in Banta City had surpassed a shocking three hundred thousand!
In Banta City, there were people from all different cities of the Lampuri Kingdom. There were even dwarves, elves, and beastmen workers, becoming the most advanced city in the kingdom.
Even the people who lived in Anvilmar City who felt superiority over others since they lived in the capital, when Banta City was mentioned, they revealed a bit of yearning.
The reason for these changes was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce having this ability is naturally because of the magic machines they produced.
Before this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had transferred the technology for the Magic Fans and the Magic Kettles. Just with these two pieces of technology, it was like mushrooms sprouting after the rain, as large and small companies producing the Magic Fan and the Magic Kettle appeared all over the kingdom.
And just with the Magic Fan and the Magic Kettle, it supported countless people and countless workers that worked for these companies.
And now, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was transferring technology for other magic machines!
The reporters surrounding Xu Yi could imagine that after this news was spread, many people in the kingdom would go wild.
“Chairman Xu, may I ask what kind of technology your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is planning on transferring? Could it be that any kind of technology would be transferred?” A reporter asked in a loud voice.
“No, of course it’s not all our technology.” Xu Yi shook his head, “Currently our company is considering transferring technology for household magic machines. As for the other pieces of technology, we’re not planning on transferring them for now.”
Hearing this response, the reporters were a bit disappointed, but after thinking about it, they became excited again.
“Chairman Xu, you said that you’re not planning on transferring them for now. Does that mean your company will consider transferring them in the future?”
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “There’s nothing impossible in this world.”
“Hong!”
The reporters exploded again.
This response from Xu Yi clearly meant that there was a possibility in the future.
Everyone understood that the household magic machine department was not a very important part of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. In contrast, the production magic machines and the other technology they weren’t transferring for now were more important.
“Then chairman Xu, in this technology transfer, will it be the same as the Magic Fan and the Magic Kettle? You will only not only transfer technology, but also provide guidance?”
“No, this time our company will be even more thorough compared to before.” Xu Yi’s face sunk a bit, “In fact, after transferring the technology for the Magic Kettle and the Magic Fan last time, I was very dissatisfied with the development. So in order to pursue better results, our company will have higher requests and standards when transferring other household magic machine technology.”
The surrounding reporters were stunned.
“Higher requests and standards? What does that mean?”
“To be precise, I hope that the other companies will observe the standards of our Frestech Chamber of Commerce and won’t make random changes.”
Xu Yi’s words were a bit impolite, causing the reporters to be a bit surprised.
After a bit of silence, a reporter raised his hand to ask, “Chairman Xu, can I take that to mean that when other companies want to buy technology from your Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they have to follow the standards you give them when they produce magic machines?”
“That’s right.”
“Then what if the other companies want to make a breakthrough with this technology? Doesn’t this restrict them? I remember you saying before that you encouraged other companies to conduct more research, you even said that you would be happy if another company surpassed your Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that your thoughts have changed?”
“No, observing standards and making breakthroughs don’t contradict. The standard is for people in the same industry to develop together, saving time and effort, so it is a very important thing. To give an example, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s Frestech Brand Magic Fan currently uses three types of screw bolts, which is the current standard. If a company uses another model of screw bolt, the companies that produce screw bolts will have to conduct new research which would be an unnecessary waste of time and effort.” Xu Yi explained.
“Then chairman Xu, why can’t other companies set the standard, why must it be your Frestech Chamber of Commerce?” A reporter asked in an unconvinced voice.
After asking this question, that reporter found that the other reporters were all looking at him like he was an idiot.
This idiot!
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce was the undisputed boss of the magic machine industry, who would decide the standard if not them?
Xu Yi said with a faint smile, “Currently speaking, other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the other companies don’t have the ability to make other magic machines. So only our Frestech Chamber of Commerce is qualified to create this standard. If the other companies don’t want to follow it, I can only say sorry.”
The reporter who had asked this question gave a low growl, but he didn’t dare say anything else.
After asking these basic questions, the reporters turned their attention to the details of the technology transfer.
At this time Xu Yi moved back and Akali and Evita who were already prepared on the side came up to the stage.
For technical questions, of course it would be answered by technical staff.
