Magic Industry Empire - 722. Chapter 722

Xu Yi’s ambition is not big, and it is not a problem for the others in the New Flying Business Association.

Even on the contrary, the senior officials of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are more willing to know that their president has such ambitions.

From another perspective, the word ambition is also called ambitious.

Compared to following a leader who has no ambitions, and the goal is limited to the president in front of them, of course they prefer to follow a leader who has ambitions and long-term goals.

Only in this way, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will continue to maintain the current situation and continue to develop at a high speed. It will not only become a super-class chamber of commerce in several neighboring countries, but also a super-class chamber of commerce on the entire Sainz continent.

The stronger the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce becomes, the higher level of their chambers of commerce will naturally be able to follow the Chamber of Commerce to obtain more amazing benefits.

What’s more, even if you don’t consider the perspective of actual benefits, just following the guild leader and achieving the goal of spreading magic machines across the continent is already attractive enough, isn’t it?

The last month of 3875 in the mainland calendar passed quickly. As soon as the new year passed, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce once again openly recruited a large number of workers to the outside world.

This is not surprising. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has been desperately recruiting workers in the past two years and has never relaxed the demand in this area.

However, the recruitment this time is slightly different from the past, mainly focusing on recruitment in the resource collection industry.

Moreover, there is a very significant condition in terms of recruitment conditions, that is, the workers who hope to apply for the job are willing to stay away from their hometowns and go to work thousands of kilometers or even two thousand kilometers away.

At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stated that the initial conditions of the work were very difficult, and it was not easy to go home. It must be able to endure hardship and endure loneliness.

Such a request has attracted the attention of many people, because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce previously gave its employees very good conditions, but now it has shown that this job is very difficult, which is really very rare.

But what these conditions require, compared with the salary indicated in the job advertisements published in major newspapers, immediately becomes less important.

A minimum of 300 gold coins per year!

Although such a salary is not a particularly high salary in the current Bangta City, it can be regarded as a real high salary whether it is in the Kingdom of Lampari or the Kingdom of Ruelson.

You know, since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce fired more than 18,000 workers at one time, it caused other chambers of commerce to compete for these workers, raising the average salary of the magic industry to an astonishing level, but for ordinary workers, it was two a month. Ten gold coins is already a very good income.

What’s more, although the salary of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has never occupied an absolute advantage over other chambers of commerce, it has always far exceeded all other chambers of commerce in terms of various benefits.

According to the private statement, working in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, even if you only get ten gold coins a month, is much better than getting 20 gold coins a month in other chambers of commerce.

Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer the newly recruited workers an annual salary of three hundred gold coins. This not only breaks the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s own conventions, but even has a sudden impact on the salary level of the entire magic industry industry.

As soon as the recruitment news was published, it immediately sparked countless people flocking to the recruitment sites set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in various surrounding countries.

However, one month after the New Year, the number of personnel recruited by the New Flying Merchants Association was only less than two thousand, which was far below the initial expectations of the New Flying Merchants Association.

This made Xu Yi a little disappointed, and some did not understand it.

Although it is a bit uncomfortable to work on an unknown island on the endless sea that is a full one or two thousand kilometers away from home, it is not so unacceptable.

More than 20,000 people came to apply, but in the end only 2,000 people were willing to go, which is less than one-tenth, which is really too few.

And even if it is two thousand people, not all of them can be achieved.

Xu also attaches great importance to the resource development of these islands in the Endless Sea, as well as the corresponding sea area control plan. The workers sent in the past require not only trustworthiness, but also certain special qualities.

For example, to be able to endure loneliness, to have the ability to live normally on an island with harsh conditions, etc…

According to Xu Yi’s estimation, it is not bad for a quarter of the newly recruited 2,000 people to go to those islands in the end.

The real main force has to be selected from the old workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself.

But even if it is selected from the old workers, not many workers are still willing to accept such a transfer.

Of course Xu Yi can force them to work on those islands, but from the perspective of stability, Xu Yi is not willing to do so.

“It seems that the progress of this plan can only be postponed backwards.” Xu Yi looked at Kennard’s recruitment progress report and couldn’t help sighing.

Kennard on the side took a look at Xu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: “Mr. President, in fact… If you are willing to raise the salary level in this area, for example, from an annual salary of three hundred gold coins to four. Hundred gold coins, I don’t think it will be a problem in terms of manpower.”

“No.” Xu Yi shook his head very simply. “To formulate such a salary, not only considers the overall salary level of our chamber of commerce, but also considers the salary level of the entire industry. If we set too high all of a sudden, it will be very difficult for other chambers of commerce.”

Kennard gave a wry smile and shook his head.

He wanted to say that in fact, other chambers of commerce that are also engaged in the magic industry have never cared about this. They have been digging people from the new flying chamber of commerce with high salaries, so we don’t need to worry about it.

But after working with Xu Yi for so long, Kennard understands Xu Yi’s goals very well, knowing that he values the development of the industry as a whole, and for this reason, the New Flying Merchants Association will suffer a bit of a loss and will not care.

Moreover, Xu Ye is right. Even if it is only within the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, if the salaries of the workers sent overseas are set too high, it will inevitably affect the internal salary standards of the Chamber of Commerce and cause internal chaos.

Now the salary standard of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was re-established after the previous major layoffs, and it has only been broken after less than a year. This is obviously inappropriate.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and then smiled: “Well, actually think about it this way. There is no rush for the development of those islands. Apart from anything else, at least we don’t have so many magic ships now, do we? ”

Kennard nodded: “Yes, Lord President, we currently have only eight large cargo ships, which is not enough to support a large number of maritime cargo missions. In addition, in terms of combat magic ships, it is enough to assemble two complete ships. The fleet is also not enough in terms of training and personnel. It is too difficult to completely control the huge sea area in the southern part of the mainland.”

“Well, let’s do it. Let’s start with the development of islands off the coast of Stantin step by step, and then advance step by step to the southern waters of the mainland. At the same time, we must pay close attention to personnel recruitment and training and ship construction. We must have it as soon as possible. A strong enough frigate.”

Kennard looked at Xu Yi thoughtfully: “Is the fleet of Viscount Leslie not enough?”

“Of course.” Xu Yi didn’t have any special expressions on his face, just nodded, and didn’t explain much.

Although Leslie is now considered to be under the name of the New Flying Merchants Association’s escort, leading the New Flying Merchants Association’s escort fleet, Xu Yi is very clear in his heart that Leslie will probably not live under him for a long time.

When the time is right, he is likely to leave the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and establish his own sea fleet.

The reason why Xu Yi now handed over the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to him was because of the personal relationship between the two and because Leslie had this ability and also inherited some resources from the previous Stark family.

Now he is in charge of the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which can actually be regarded as a cooperation between Xu Yi and Leslie, because both parties need to accumulate relevant experience in the maritime fleet.

Now that the situation has changed, Xu Yi and Kennard made some corresponding changes to the overall plan.

Because before that, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has actually done detailed exploration of the seas near the Duchy of Stantin, and has done statistics and preliminary development of the islands with resources in the nearby seas, so this sea area is used as the plan. starting point.

According to Xu Yi’s plan, Xinfei merchants will set up small bases on these islands and arrange a small amount of defensive measures, and then connect these islands to serve as the first defensive island chain outside the coastline of the Principality of Stantin.

If there is a situation similar to the previous collusion between the Kingdom of Sark and Earl Veron to attack the New Flying Merchant Association, they must first break through the defense of the first island chain before they may threaten the main base of the New Flying Merchant Association.

Next, Xu Yi’s plan is to extend this first island chain all the way to the southern waters of the Ruelson Kingdom, and then to the southern waters of the Candela Empire, and finally draw a semicircle in the southern waters of the Sainz mainland, and the entire Saien The southern part of Sri Lanka is wrapped up.

To achieve this goal, obviously it is not enough to develop islands with various resources. Some islands with strategic significance should also be used.

As a result, the investment in this entire plan will become extremely amazing.

Xu Yi and Kennard roughly estimated that the total investment of this plan might be more than 100 million gold coins.

“Well, Lord President, this plan will never be achieved in one or two years. We can only take it slowly.” Kennard sighed.

Xu Yi smiled: “Of course, I never thought that this plan could be completed in a short time. In short, we just need to work hard in this direction.”

Kennard also laughed, and was about to speak when the door of the office was suddenly knocked hard.

Kennard frowned slightly and shouted, “Come in.”

The door opened, and the human secretary who served as Kennard’s assistant rushed in, with an extremely weird expression on his face. His eyes swept across Kennard and landed on Xu Yi’s face. After a hard swallow and spit, he used one. In a tone of panic, shock, doubt, etc., he said: “Yes… President President… Just received the news that Her Majesty Queen Servigny… officially announced that she was pregnant…”

Kennard opened his mouth in surprise, but didn’t say anything, just turned his head to look at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was stunned, turned his head and looked towards the direction of Anweimar City in the northeast, and remained silent for a while.
