Magic Industry Empire - 524. Chapter 524 Changes in Bangta City

For the people of the Lampari Kingdom, the year 3783 in the continental calendar seemed to pass very quickly.

In the eyes of the people in Bangta City, it was more like passing by in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the year, His Royal Highness Prince Eric led the Zhenbei Army to fight against the Kingdom of Sark, winning repeatedly, and then His Majesty King Lampari XIII died of a serious illness, and His Royal Highness Prince Eric suddenly changed from His Royal Highness to His Royal Highness. .

With Her Royal Highness Prince Eric ascending to the throne, Her Royal Highness Severini no longer serves as the lord of Bangta City.

The new city lord did not let Bangta City bring too many changes at first, and once made the people of Bangta City think that Bangta City would continue to develop smoothly in this way.

However, it turns out that most people think too simplistically.

In the summer, when the weather just got hot, Bangta City immediately began a series of dazzling changes.

First, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce announced that in order to respond to the call of the Kingdom Magic Industry Administration and promote the development of the magic industry in the Kingdom of Lampari, it has decided to transfer a series of magic machinery-related technologies it has mastered to the Chamber of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.

This transfer is different from the previous technology transfer and sale of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

According to the “Banta Daily” disclosure, when transferring technology to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Management Agency, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce only charged a symbolic technology transfer fee. The manpower and material resources invested in the transfer are almost the same as giving away for nothing.

Although “Bunta Daily” did not state it clearly, anyone with a brain can tell that such technology transfer is definitely not a normal phenomenon. Due to the pressure exerted by His Majesty King Eric, he was forced to agree.

One week after the Bangta Daily published this report, Naxi, the editor-in-chief of the Bangta Daily, announced his resignation and left the Bangta Daily, which seemed to confirm this speculation from the side.

When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the technology transfer, only less than half a month passed, and dozens of chambers of commerce, large and small, appeared in Bangta overnight.

Among these newly emerging chambers of commerce, ten are exactly those designated in the list previously announced by the Magic Industry Administration.

As for the remaining unknown small chambers of commerce, naturally they have more or less unclear relationships with these ten chambers of commerce.

The first appearance of these chambers of commerce has not had any impact on Bangta City. However, when the hot summer passed and the cold autumn wind blows into Bangta City, people up and down Bangta City began to feel these chambers of commerce, or Talk about the various obvious or inconspicuous changes brought about by the technology transfer of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Fuller Morgan, president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, has been upset recently.

The end of the year is approaching, which means that we are getting closer and closer to the year-end statistics that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce conducts every year.

Prior to this, President Morgan had never been upset about this matter, because the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was mainly engaged in the iron ore business, which has always been extremely stable and rarely fluctuates. His president only needs to have good statistics from his staff. After verifying the data, this task can be easily completed.

But this year is different.

In other words, it has been a little different since three years ago.

Three years ago, the creation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce drove the magic industry in Bangta City and even the entire Kingdom of Lampari. Because people’s demand for magic machinery is getting higher and higher, the demand for iron is naturally higher and higher. .

Under this huge demand, the iron ore sales of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce have skyrocketed year after year. The iron ore sales of last year alone almost equaled the total sales of the five years before the new Flying Chamber of Commerce.

And because of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Steel Plant, various kinds of steel with various characteristics quickly replaced the common cast iron that everyone used before, resulting in a large part of the iron ore produced by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce being purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Refining steel, only the remaining part will be sold to others for ordinary cast iron.

Although Xu Yi reached an agreement with Duke Joseph in private, as the demand increased, the price of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce iron ore purchased by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce inevitably increased.

In just the past year, the net profit achieved by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce through the sale of iron ore to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce reached an extremely impressive four million gold coins.

Originally according to President Morgan’s estimation, as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce began to expand last year, creating production bases in various parts of the Kingdom and putting various factories into production, the demand for iron ore from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will surely increase again. This year, the net profit obtained from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone may exceed 5 million gold coins.

At first, people were not as good as the sky. President Morgan never expected that His Majesty King Lampari XIII died suddenly this year, and the situation in Bangta City suddenly changed drastically.

Among the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, one Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce accepted part of the steel smelting technology from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and in just two months, it was established with the assistance of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Five steel mills.

Compared with the two steel plants of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the five steel plants of the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce are larger in scale and have higher production capacity. The crude steel smelted in one month is even more than three times that of the previous month of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

With so much steel being smelted, the demand for pig iron will naturally increase.

It stands to reason that with the increase in pig iron sales, President Morgan, who is the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, should be happy, but he is not happy at all, but extremely upset.

The reason is simple, the purchase price given by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is too low.

The price of iron ore sold by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has already been discounted because of the agreement between Xu Yi and Yuese. This year it has just exceeded ten gold coins a ton.

However, the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce’s purchase price for pig iron proposed by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was cut in half at once, only one ton of hardware coins!

This price is even lower than the price at which the Falcao Chamber of Commerce sold iron ore before the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce!

However, President Morgan did not have any power to choose. The Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce needed it, and he had to sell it.

As for the reason? Of course it is because behind this Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce stood the arrogant nobles in the kingdom-the Stark family, and even the shadow of His Majesty King Eric.

Even Duke Joseph couldn’t compete with this force.

In response to this situation, Duke Joseph had already instructed President Morgan to sell it to the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce at a price of one ton of hardware coins.

Because of this low price, President Morgan knows very well that this year’s year-end statistics will come out, and the numbers must be ugly.

However, Duke Joseph could not do anything about it, and he was naturally powerless.

The only thing he can do is to scold Xu Yi from the bottom of his heart.

“That idiot! Why do you have to transfer the steelmaking technology? It’s good now. The price per ton of steel produced by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is a full ten gold coins lower than that of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. How can I go on!”

However, cursing and cursing, thinking of Xu Yi, even President Morgan, who was displeased with Xu Yi at the beginning, couldn’t help feeling a little bit of emotion and miss.

“Where did this guy go? Does he really want to give up the great foundation he has laid in Bangta City?”

President Pompeii, who was driving Philson, was more upset than President Morgan.

President Morgan was only upset that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce’s profit this year would decline compared to last year, while President Pompéry was upset that Philson might lose money this year!

Originally from the beginning of cooperation with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, focusing on public transportation and long-distance freight transportation, the profits of the Philson Cars and Horses have been growing rapidly.

Just last month alone, Philson’s net profit has exceeded 200,000 gold coins, setting aside all expenditures.

If this trend continues, the total profit of Philson’s car and horse trade this year will most likely exceed last year’s 2 million gold coins, and even touch the 3 million gold coin mark.

But all this, after an order from the City Lord’s Mansion, vanished in an instant.

The content of this order is very simple. Specifically, it is to strengthen the management of Bangta City. The City Lord’s Mansion will incorporate the public transportation system in Bangta City into the management of the City Lord’s Mansion.

This order seemed to be no problem at first glance, but in actual implementation, there was one that made President Pompéry extremely angry.

According to the regulations of the City Lord’s Mansion, since the public transportation system is under the management of the City Lord’s Mansion, there must be certain standards.

Of course, this statement is not a problem. The problem is that the normative standard mentioned by the City Lord’s Mansion, however, stipulates that the Bangta City public transportation system currently operated by Philson Cars and Horses must undergo a comprehensive rectification, and the Philson Cars and Horses must be named The magic locomotives that are being used to participate in the public transportation system are all replaced with magic locomotives designated by the City Lord’s Mansion.

As for the magic locomotive designated by the City Lord’s Mansion…Of course it is not a new flying card.

Among the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Management Agency to accept technology transfer from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, one Lavary Chamber of Commerce has fully accepted part of the magic locomotive production and casting technology transferred from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

With the great help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Lavary Chamber of Commerce only took two months to build the first Ravalli brand of medium-sized passenger magic locomotive.

At first, President Pompéry was a little surprised. Since the Lavary Chamber of Commerce has accepted the magic locomotive technology, why did it first produce a medium-sized magic bus, but not the most profitable magic car.

But when the order from the City Lord’s Mansion appeared, he immediately realized it.

The Rafali Chamber of Commerce will collude with the City Lord’s Mansion tomorrow morning, and it has been prepared long ago!

However, if you know that you know, President Pompéry has no way of doing this.

Facing the orders from the Lord’s Mansion of Bangta City, which represents the will of His Majesty King Eric, what can he do to resist?

Staring at the investment evaluation analysis report on the full replacement of the Rafali magic locomotive that he calculated after several days in his hand, President Pompéry’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

If he obeyed the orders of the City Lord’s Mansion, Philson’s cart and horse must therefore invest more than two million gold coins for preliminary preparations.

Moreover, according to the requirements of the City Lord’s Mansion, the Philson Carriage Company must pay a deposit of 500,000 gold coins to the City Lord Mansion every year for contracting the city bus system of Bangta City.

Calculated like this, not only will you lose money this year, even if you want to recover the initial investment from this in the future, it is probably impossible.

After a while, President Pompéry suddenly threw the evaluation analysis report on the table and shouted angrily.

“Fuck! Since I can’t do it anymore, I quit!”
