Magic Industry Empire - 543. Chapter 543

On the last day of 3783 in the mainland Chinese calendar, the “Bonta Daily” published a news in a relatively conspicuous position on the second page.

“The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has signed a tripartite long-term cooperation agreement with the Duchy of Milan and the Principality of Ruelson. According to this agreement, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will provide a series of technical support to the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Ruelson. The Chinese joint venture to build several home-use magic machinery factories, while the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Ruelson will open up domestic mineral resources to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce…”

Although many people noticed this news when they saw the “Bonta Daily”, in general, the news did not cause much sensation in Bangta City.

After all, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been unable to produce magic machinery in the Kingdom of Lampari for more than half a year due to the ban by the Magic Industry Administration, and because of the new regulations of the Department of Commerce, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has drastically reduced the number of sales. The number of magic machines in the Kingdom of Lampari.

For the people of the entire Lampari Kingdom and even Bangta City, the New Flying Merchants Association has almost disappeared in their world for half a year.

Although the product service centers of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in various cities in the kingdom are still working, and some research institutions and a factory that produce canned fruits are retained in Bangta City, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce stays in the lives of most people. What’s left is probably only the household magic machinery that they bought before.

People are forgetful. Most of the people in the Lampari kingdom have gradually forgotten this chamber of commerce that has led countless trends in the kingdom.

Probably only in Bangta City, there will be many people who occasionally think of it, and will have a little nostalgia for the new flying business in the bottom of their hearts.

Pompéry, the president of Philson, is perhaps one of the people who miss the New Flying Chamber of Commerce the most.

Although it is very dissatisfied that the city government must purchase the magic locomotive produced by the Rafali Chamber of Commerce as a bus carriage, but in view of the profit from the urban public transportation system of Bangta City, and the continued maintenance of the city’s public transportation system is important for upgrading the Philson vehicle. Ma Xing’s reputation is extremely helpful, so after careful consideration, President Pompéry did not choose to give up in the end. Instead, in accordance with the regulations of the City Lord’s Mansion, they all replaced them with magic locomotives produced by the Lavary Chamber of Commerce.

However, in less than four months from the completion of all the changes to the present, President Pompéry did some detailed statistics, but found that not only did he not make money on the city’s public transport system, but it was still net. The loss exceeded fifty thousand gold coins.

Prior to this, even though Philson’s carriage and horses had followed the instructions of Her Royal Highness and Xu Yi’s long-time advice, the price of the bus was extremely low, but it was still profitable.

Although the profit is not much, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins received every month.

But now there is a sudden loss, and the amount of loss is not small. After statistics of the Philippine Cars and Horses, it is found that the reasons for this result are all at the same point, and that is because of the quality problem of the Ravalli brand medium-sized passenger magic locomotive. .

Just last month alone, there were a total of 176 damages to the 374 Rafali medium-sized passenger magic locomotives under the name of Philson Cars and Horses. Additional investment was made for this. Cost up to 23,620 hardware coins.

And because of such high frequency damage, the entire Bangta city bus system has also been greatly affected, and there are often situations that must be temporarily replaced.

For this reason, the Philson Cars and Horses Company paid at least three thousand gold coins in additional operating expenses.

In addition, these damages ranged from large to small, and even caused several serious accidents.

The most serious of these was that a Rafali medium-sized passenger magic locomotive that drove from Bangta City to the South City New District suddenly lost control and crashed directly into a shop on the side of the street.

Although no one was killed because of the slow speed, as many as 13 people were seriously injured and 24 people were slightly injured.

To this end, Philson’s cart and horses also paid a total of more than five thousand gold coins for medical and compensation expenses.

Adding it all together, just last month alone, Philson paid close to 40,000 gold coins in additional expenditures on the urban public transportation system.

Regardless of profit, the net loss even exceeded 20,000 gold coins.

This has been the case for several months in a row, causing President Pompéry to feel that the current city bus system is simply a burden to Philson’s ride.

However, maintaining the city’s public transport system will not only enhance the reputation of Philson’s ride in Bangta, but also get a certain policy preference from the City Lord’s Mansion. This allows him to get a lot of care. Therefore, although he is clearly losing money, President Pompéry But he has not made up his mind to give up, and has been trying to maintain it.

However, a few days ago, a new regulation was introduced in the City Lord’s Mansion, which forced him to make up his mind.

In this city’s public transportation system, Philson couldn’t keep going.

The content of this regulation is very simple. It is to announce that starting from tomorrow, the special subsidy of the Bangta City Finance for the city’s public bus system will be cancelled.

The reason given by the City Lord’s Mansion is very reasonable, saying that this is to promote a fair business atmosphere in Bangta City and cannot provide special financial subsidies to a certain chamber of commerce.

But how could President Pompéry not know, this is completely because the City Lord’s Mansion is unwilling to continue to pay for it.

The reason why this regulation has not been revised this year is entirely because this year’s financial subsidies for the urban public transport system were issued by Her Royal Highness Severini, who was also the lord of Bangta City at the beginning of the year.

If they change directly this year, it will undoubtedly be a great disrespect to Her Royal Highness.

In the new year, the City Lord’s Mansion will make changes to certain policies, and that is a matter of course, even if it is her Royal Highness Severini, it is impossible to criticize.

Obviously, President Pompéry did not have any qualifications to criticize the City Lord’s Mansion, so he could only accept it silently.

After several days of consideration and precise calculations, President Pompéry realized that if the special financial subsidies of the City Lord’s Mansion were lost, the annual net loss of Philson’s carriage system on the city’s public transportation system would be More than 200,000 gold coins, even close to 300,000 gold coins.

If in the previous two years, the annual profit of Philson’s carriage exceeded millions of gold coins, then for the sake of his reputation and the support of the City Lord’s Mansion, he could barely bear this loss.

But now the City Lord’s Mansion has made it clear that it will not support the Philson Cars and Horses, and because the ten chambers of commerce will push the freight to an extremely low price, the profit of the Philsons Cars and Horses has dropped significantly. When the settlement at the end of this year, all The total annual profit has not even exceeded 500,000 gold coins.

What’s more, owning this profit also includes the high profit in the first half of this year.

If you only count the second half of the year, the total profit is only less than 200,000 gold coins.

In this case, the Philson Cars and Horses has simply been unable to bear the huge losses caused by the city’s public transportation system.

In desperation, even if President Pompéry didn’t want to live up to the expectations of Her Royal Highness and President Xu before him, he had to give up.

Therefore, it was also the news published by Bangta Daily on the last day of 3783 in the mainland Chinese calendar. Previously, as long as it was related to the new flying business association, the report about the new flying business association would dominate the headlines, but it had to be ranked second. Edition location.

Because the news published on the front page of the headline is a hot news published by Felson through the “Bonta Daily”.

Philson Cars and Horses announced that starting next year, Philson Cars and Horses will completely withdraw from the city bus system of Bangta City!

In just one morning, the news spread throughout Bangta City.

All the people who received the news were stunned.

Philson’s carriage withdrew from the city bus system, does it mean that there will be no bus magic locomotives in the future?

But people in Bangta City have long been accustomed to taking this convenient and fast city bus magic locomotive to wherever they want to go. Now suddenly it is gone. What should I do if I want to go out in the future?

There is no problem with the rich. Most of them have bought Magic Cars from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, but what about the people who can’t afford Magic Cars? Does it all depend on riding a bicycle?

People in Bangta City have been accustomed to the city’s public transportation system for nearly two years. It suddenly disappeared, leaving a group of people at a loss.

After the confusion, many people became angry again.

At the beginning, Philson’s cart and horse ride was only under the support of Her Royal Highness Severni and President Xu. It can be considered to have taken over the city bus system in Bangta City. Now it has made enough money, actually taking advantage of Her Royal Highness Severini and President Xu Have all left Bangta City, but want to quit?

What did he take the people of Bangta City!

But after a little calm, people thought of a very crucial question.

Why does Philson’s cart and horse behavior want to withdraw from the city bus system?

For businessmen, making money is of course the first priority.

If operating a city bus system can make money, even if someone puts a knife on the neck of President Pompeii, he will not announce his withdrawal.

Because of this question, people began to re-watch the report on the incident in the “Bonta Daily”.

Although the description of this incident in the “Bunta Daily” is not very detailed, it points out two key points. Monopoly on the magic locomotive.

As long as the caring person sees these two key points and thinks a little bit, he will roughly understand the problem.

Obviously, this was once again the city lord’s protection of the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Management Agency, and the squeeze of the Philson carts and horses that had previously been closely related to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Think of the various messy things that the City Lord’s Mansion has done against the New Flying Merchants Association in the second half of the year, as well as the actions of the ten chambers of commerce. Compare the previous HH Royal Highness Severini as the city lord and when the New Flying Merchants Association was still in Bangta City. The people in Bangta City suddenly felt a stronger grievance.

On the last day of 3873 in the mainland Chinese calendar, Bangta City looked calm on the surface.

But on this day to welcome the New Year, there is no joyous atmosphere in Bangta City. Instead, under the calm surface, there is an undercurrent hidden.
