Magic Industry Empire - 591. Chapter 591

Lord Weilun originally transferred the 240,000 hectares of land to Xu Yi. When it became Xu Yi’s private land, only the land was transferred, but the population on the land was not transferred together.

As a result, after Xu Yi obtained this territory, there were only about 17,000 employees of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce who moved over with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Although relative to the average population density on the Sainz mainland, this piece of land, which is less than 15 square kilometers, has more than 17,000 people, which is quite good.

But because most of the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are intensive industries, just a factory covering an area of less than a thousand square meters can accommodate hundreds of workers.

Adding up all the factories and living quarters, it occupies no more than 50,000 hectares.

This made the rest of Xu Yi’s territory appear extremely empty and slightly underpopulated.

The more important problem is that because it cannot get a large number of population supplements, it is extremely difficult for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to expand production and increase production capacity.

Although people from the Lampari Kingdom have been coming one after another to join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, in this year’s time, the number of people who have actually come here is less than two thousand people. In terms of the large amount of manpower demand of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Xu Yi has been a headache for the production capacity problem, in fact, the main reason is that it is concentrated on the population problem.

Human resources cannot be satisfied, and even if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce now has sufficient funds, there is no way to quickly increase its production capacity.

The reason why Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Kingdom of Ruelson and invested heavily in Milan Duo Public is to establish more production bases and increase overall production capacity.

However, the Ruelson Kingdom and the Duchy of Milan are not under the control of the New Flying Business Association. Although the cooperation between the New Flying Business Association and them is extremely close, no one can guarantee that these two countries will not change in the future.

In order to solve the manpower problem, Xu Yi previously recruited a large number of local civilians from the Duchy of Stantin to enter the New Flying Merchants Association through Lord Weilun on his territory to assist in production.

However, according to the traditional rules on the Sainz continent, since these civilians are the subjects of Lord Weilun, they belong to Lord Weilun.

The New Flying Chamber of Commerce hires these people of Lord Weilun, not only has to pay a lot of money to Lord Weilun, but also does not have the right to manage these people.

As a result, Xu Yi was reluctant to train these people in skills and post-training. He has always only allowed them to engage in the simplest tasks, instead of involving them in technical jobs.

But in this way, hiring these workers will provide much less help to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi once proposed to Lord Weilun to move a group of civilians directly from his territory to join him, but Lord Weilun flatly refused.

The population on Sainz Continent is already very tense. For all noble lords, humans are the most important resource in the territory, and Lord Weilun will naturally not agree to Xu Yi’s request.

However, according to the practice on the Sainz continent, if the citizens of the noble lord’s domain want to move, they only need to pay a certain price to leave the noble lord’s jurisdiction.

“President, do you really plan to pay for their relocation?” Sebas glanced at the few people who were walking around a new magic air conditioner newly launched by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce not far away, frowning.

“Of course.” Xu Yi nodded.

Unlike Sebastian’s disdainful gaze when he looked at the people, Xu Yi looked interested, as if these people in ragged clothes were almost like beggars hiding some treasures.

“Sir President, the Principality of Stantin is much stricter than our Kingdom of Lampari in this regard, and Prince Stantin has express regulations on this. If we really want to do this, we will only be alone. The relocation fee of, the minimum cost is one hundred gold coins. And they came from the land of Lord Weilun, Lord Weilun will definitely demand higher.” Sai Bass said again.

“What if he asks for two hundred gold coins?” Xu Yi turned his head and said sternly to Sebas: “If Lord Weilun is willing to give me all the tens of thousands of people currently on his territory, I will spend all of the money. I am willing to buy it. The problem is that Lord Weilun will definitely not do it, so we can still buy a few.”

Saibaston laughed bitterly when he said: “But the guild grows up, our chamber of commerce now has less than two million gold coins in total. How could it be possible to buy so many people?”

“So, how much you can buy.” Xu Yi smiled slightly. “What’s more, at this time, even if we give Lord Weilun a genuine gold coin, he probably doesn’t want it yet.”

“Your guildmaster is right.” Kennard, who had had a brief exchange with those people, walked over at this time and took what Xu Yi said: “Compared with gold coins, Lord Weilun needs the most. I’m afraid it is the various military magic machines provided by our chamber of commerce. I think that when the president will negotiate with him later, he should make this request.”

Sebas frowned closer.

Although he is the chief financial officer of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he is mainly responsible for financial aspects, and basically does not intervene in specific production, but he also knows the current production situation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very well. Of course, he is very clear about the situation that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is facing now.

“But if we agree to the conditions of Lord Weilun, we will have problems with other supplies, right?”

“So, in order to completely solve this situation of demolishing the east wall and supplementing the west wall, we must find a way to solve the capacity bottleneck of the Chamber of Commerce. To solve this problem, human resources are the most important factor. This time is a good opportunity. , We must not miss it.” Xu Yi said with a serious face: “In terms of finances, Sebas, you have to make specific statistics and relevant preparations. If Lord Weilun really needs gold coins, you must be able to meet the needs. As for the specifics Regarding production arrangements, Kennard, leave it to you.”

“Understood.” Kennard nodded. “If it doesn’t work, we can actually coordinate with the chambers of commerce on the Black Rice Wasteland and ask them to help process some parts.”

After speaking, Kennard looked at Xu Yi with inquiring eyes.

In the past, when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce made various military magic machinery, from the early stage of research and development to specific parts processing, equipment assembly, etc., it was all done by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it never let any other chamber of commerce or unrelated people interfere. .

Now Kennard puts forward this idea, which is to suggest to Xu Yi that other chambers of commerce should also be included in the military production ranks of the new flying chamber of commerce.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: “Yes. But you have to choose carefully, and give priority to those small chambers of commerce that have long-term cooperation with our chamber of commerce.”

“I’ll consider it seriously.” Kennard replied sternly.

“Well, that’s it.”

Xu Yi turned his head to look at Sebas, Sebas thought for a moment, and nodded: “Okay, Lord President, I will prepare enough working capital to prepare for this. But Lord President, Sir The second phase of the Lulu Highway project is about to start, and we must prepare an initial investment of at least 500,000 gold coins. If this is also included, then our Chamber of Commerce may not have any working capital left. In case there is any demand again , I’m afraid there will be difficulties, and even the workers’ wages may not even be paid.”

“Don’t worry about this.” Xu Yi waved his hand. “I have already contacted Newman. The Ruelson Kingdom will order a large number of household magic machines from us in the next three months. We can get enough profit from it to ensure the basic liquidity of the Chamber of Commerce.”

“But this is still a bit dangerous…” Sebas whispered and shook his head.

As the financial director of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Sebas has always felt very relaxed before.

Because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s product sales have always been high and profit margins are high, so the financial situation has always been extremely good, and there has never been any problem.

But in the past year or so, the financial situation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has become a little nervous.

This is not to say that there is a crisis in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has maintained high sales and high profits for the rest of the time, except for the decline in product sales and lower profits when it first left the Kingdom of Lampari.

But in this more than a year, the new flying business association has spent too much money.

Especially after obtaining this land from Lord Weilun, Xu Yi finally obtained a piece of land that was completely at his disposal, so he began to invest heavily in this land.

At present, on this territory, which is less than 25 square kilometers, there are 13 roads crossing vertically and horizontally, connecting almost every place on the territory.

After obtaining the territory, Xu Yi also re-planned and rebuilt the workers’ living quarters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the territory.

Now when you walk in the living area, you can see neat and beautiful houses, which look extremely spectacular.

At the same time, Xu Yi also supplied a large amount of living supplies from many other chambers of commerce, making life here extremely convenient and comfortable.

And Xu Yi also invited the elves of the Nightsong tribe and the Moonshade tribe to re-green the territory, turning the whole territory into a vibrant and beautiful scene.

Almost everyone who comes to this territory will be greatly shocked by the living environment here which is completely different from other places.

Even Her Royal Highness Severine and her personal guards, after living here for more than four months, were extremely satisfied with the place, and even lingered.

But creating such a living environment is extremely expensive.

Since Xu Yi obtained this territory, up to now, the New Flying Merchants Association has invested a total of 4.68 million gold coins in this territory.

It can be said that most of the profits obtained by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have actually been invested in the transformation of this territory.

And this is not over yet.

According to Xu Yi’s plan, there are still many areas in this territory that need to be improved.

For example, Xu Yi’s latest plan is to arrange a complete automatic water supply system for the entire territory.

To perfect this system, not only need at least 300 sets of magic water pumps newly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but also a large number of water supply pipelines.

Even if the very important water purification device adopts the green and clean plant filtration solution provided by the Yege tribe, the cost is extremely low, but the overall cost of this automatic water supply system is still extremely staggering.

According to the budget statistics made by Sebas, if you want to build this automatic water supply system according to Xu Yi’s idea, the minimum investment will be more than 800,000 gold coins.

It is precisely because a lot of money will be spent next, that Sebastian will object to Xu Yi’s “buying” of Lord Weilun this time.

“Don’t worry.” Xu Yi understands Sebastian’s concerns, but as the president, he certainly has to play with Buzz more. “This is also for the Chamber of Commerce to be able to obtain higher profits in the future. You, the treasurer, will be more confident in the future. As long as you persist, the dawn will soon be ushered in. And…I toss so many things, in the final analysis, it is to let others People live better, don’t they?”

“Well, the president is right.” Kennard also smiled: “Sebas, do you know how they answered when I asked them why they wanted to move to our territory?”

Sebastian and Xu Yi looked at Kennard with interest.

“They told me that they wanted to move here because life would be more comfortable on our territory. But what makes me a little funny is that what they value most is the automatic water supply system that you just worried about. They are. Saying that being able to drink clean and sweet water without going out of the house is simply a good life that the gods can’t live.”

Xu Yi laughed loudly when he heard the words, but Sebas remained silent. After turning his head to look at the few people for a while, he nodded slightly.
