Magic Industry Empire - 786. Chapter 786

Seeing the resentment on President Cruise’s face, Xu Yi could only smile bitterly.

After Ambassador Hakanin won the approval for the construction of the road, Xu Yi was still very happy. He felt that he had finally knocked on the door of the Candela Empire. From then on, he would be able to let them realize the convenience brought by the road. The influence of the Lampari Kingdom also affects the Candela Empire.

However, he did not expect that when the Amli Chamber of Commerce was laying roads in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire, it had been subject to various strange obstructions. The main problem was the work of officials in the southwestern province of the Candela Empire. The efficiency was extremely low, and it took a long time to requisition a small piece of land at will, which caused great delays in the construction period.

Moreover, those officials are extremely corrupt. According to President Cruise, in the first six months alone, the Amli Chamber of Commerce paid more than 300,000 gold coins for this, almost worth the road. Half of the investment is expected.

Moreover, most of the actual investment in the construction of this road came from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and a small part came from the Amli Chamber of Commerce. The Candela Empire did not issue even a single copper coin, but in the end, it was necessary to fully enjoy the various conveniences and benefits brought by this road. For the Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Amli Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed an extremely loss-making business.

This has made President Cruise always dissatisfied with the Candela Empire. However, this road has been half built and has great symbolic significance, so no matter how dissatisfied, he can only bite the bullet and continue to do it.

Xu Yi thought for a while, and could only helplessly pat President Cruise on the shoulder, and comforted: “After all, it is the first road, so be patient. As long as this road is repaired, I don’t believe that the Candela Empire will not They discovered the various benefits that this road has brought them. As long as they want to continue to build the road in the future, they will definitely have to find your chamber of commerce, and you will be able to get back as many grievances as you have suffered on this road.”

President Cruise snorted coldly: “I’m not as optimistic as you. In my opinion, this Candela Empire is almost dead from bone to skin. Even if they can realize the convenience brought by the road, we may not be able to learn from it in the end. What are the benefits?”

Xu Yi squinted his eyes slightly, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth: “At that time, I’m afraid they won’t be able to choose.”

President Cruise gave Xu Yi a surprised look.

He smelled a very dangerous breath from Xu Yi’s words, but where did this breath come from?

The Candela Empire is one of the two great empires on the Sainz Continent. Xu Yi always has the courage of the lion heart and the leopard. What else does he want to do with the Candela Empire?

Xu Yi waved his hand, stopped the topic, stretched out his finger and clicked on the bottom red line.

“In fact, compared to the line of communication that runs through the Candela Empire, I think this line of communication that connects the southernmost point of the entire continent is much more difficult. Cruise, do you feel confident?”

Cruise glanced at the thick red line extending from the Duchy of Stantin, along the southern section of the Sainz continent near the edge of the endless sea on the map, looking east, and finally straight to the east coast of the continent, and smiled bitterly.

“I said Xu Yi. I thought that the plan proposed by the guy from Nozdorme Business United Kingdom when he first came to find him was really whimsical. I didn’t expect you to take it seriously. Did you forget what I said last time? In theory, it is entirely possible to build such a highway that runs from east to west on the mainland, but the biggest problem is that the funds that need to be invested are too large. Didn’t I calculate with you last time, I want to build this road successfully , The total investment is even more than 50 million gold coins. How much money… even if we sell both of our chambers of commerce, we can’t get it out.”

“So I said last time, I don’t expect to complete this project in one or two years.” Xu Yi shrugged. “Moreover, the three lines of communication that I plan to pass through the mainland can’t be completed in a short while. If I have to be in order, I hope to be able to establish this line of communication first.”

Seeing Xu Yi’s finger on the top red line, President Cruise heaved a sigh of relief.

“It looks like you are not really crazy. Yes, in comparison, this line of communication is the most promising to be completed at present. There is already ready road traffic in the Duchy of Stantin, the Kingdom of Lampari, or Duchy of Drake. Net, we just need to pave the road in the Falk Kingdom. As for the Maro Empire…it depends on the cooperation between you and the Maro Empire.”

Facing President Cruise’s questioning gaze, Xu Yi smiled and nodded: “I have confidence in the Marquis of Southgate. If nothing else, there should be a message from him soon.”

“I hope so.”

After the two discussed the road traffic routes in the three plans for a while, President Cruise left.

After Xu Yi sent him away, he returned to the map and looked at it for a while, then took out a pen and clicked it on the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but it extended westward and drew a blue line into the endless The sea, and then all the way south, bypassing the southern waters of the Duchy of Stantin, the Kingdom of Ruelson, and the Candela Empire, and finally connected to the United Kingdom of Nozdormu on the east coast.

The port of Nozdorme Commercial United Kingdom has been built for more than five months so far. During this period, the transport fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can make a round trip every month. So far, it has completed five successful cargo transportations and officially established a The maritime transportation route connecting the southwest coast and southeast coast of Sainz mainland.

It is too difficult to build the transcontinental coastal road in the southern part of Sainz mainland, which President Cruise said just now is almost impossible. Therefore, at present, the most reliable transportation route that can connect the east and west of the mainland is only this one. Sea channel.

Through these five transportations, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has transported a large number of personnel and supplies to the United Kingdom of Nozdorme, and has successfully established the initial cement processing plant and steelmaking in the United Kingdom of Nozdorme. factory.

According to the plan, these factories will be completed and put into production at the beginning of next year. At that time, in conjunction with the subsequent input of manpower and materials from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, a preliminary production base can be built in the United Kingdom of Nozdorme and strive to make magic machinery in the United Kingdom. Nozdormu Business United Kingdom is promoted.

Before the establishment of this production base, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was not idle either. It transported a large number of urgently needed projects and farmland magic machinery to Nozdormu Business United Kingdom through the transportation fleet, and it was also greatly affected. Welcome all kinds of household magic machinery.

Correspondingly, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce obtained a large number of local specialty herbs and animal furs and some specialty products from the United Kingdom of Nozdorme, transported them back to the Duchy of Stantin, and then resold them to surrounding countries to make a lot of money from them.

In just five shipments, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has gained a huge profit of more than two million gold coins.

Therefore, among the senior management of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this sea transportation road has been hailed as the “Golden Sea Road.”

Sweeping his gaze on the map, Xu Yi again pointed his pen on the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and once again drew a line westward into the endless sea.

This time, he turned this line northward, passing through the black rice wasteland, the western waters of the Kingdom of Sark, and then bypassing the kingdom of Aras in the northeast corner of the continent, and entering the northern waters of the entire continent.

But when the line was drawn here, Xu Yi paused, then stopped, frowning slightly.

Although Xu has never been to the northernmost country in Sainz, according to records in various books, it is extremely cold after the winter in the northernmost part of the mainland. Even the endless sea will be completely invisible. The thick ice covering the edge makes it impossible to sail at sea.

Therefore, this route is bound to not be as unimpeded all year round like the southern route.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yi moved slightly and drew a dotted line to continue extending eastward in the northern waters of the mainland, and finally stopped at a position in the middle of the northernmost part of the mainland.

This is the northern coast of the Maro Empire. If the route can be expanded here, a maritime transport route connecting the Maro Empire can be established. It will undoubtedly be more convenient to improve the relationship between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Maro Empire. connect.

After scanning the vast territory of the Maro Empire on the map, Xu Yi turned his gaze to the northeast corner of the mainland, and then drew a dotted line extending east from the northern coast of the Maro Empire, all the way to the northeast corner of the entire continent. , And then continue to protrude southward, and finally enter the United Kingdom of Nozdormu in the southeast corner, which is connected with the sea route to the south.

In this way, it is equivalent to completely enclosing the entire continent with a blue sea route.

Theoretically speaking, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce alone is sufficient to transport its goods to any coastal country on this continent by simply relying on sea transportation.

Of course, in fact, most countries on the Sainz continent are not coastal at all. If you want to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to every inch of land on this continent, it is far from enough to rely on sea transportation.

And this is the main reason why Xu Yi wants to lay three highway transportation lines that run through the entire road.

However, the laying of these three roads is too difficult. In addition to the most critical funding issue, the biggest obstacle lies in the attitudes of other countries on the matter.

Xu also was confident that the northernmost line of communication could be approved by the Kingdom of Falk, but the attitude of the Maro Empire on this matter may not be completely certain.

And the middle line of communication through the Candela Empire, with the current performance of the Candela Empire, the prospects are really not optimistic enough.

“Is this huge empire really decayed like Cruise said?”

Xu Yi frowned and looked at the Candela Empire on the map, which had a much larger territory than the Maro Empire, and couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, which awakened Xu Yi.

Turning her head and looking around, she found Teresa’s little head poking in from the door, with a cautious expression on her face.

Seeing Xu Yi’s line of sight just shot over, Teresa shrank back like a frightened little rabbit. After a while, she hesitated to reappear again.

Xu Yi squinted her eyes and looked at her, then smiled slightly and said, “Come in.”
