Magic Industry Empire - 818. Chapter 818

In the end, Duke Macaros did not make up his mind.

However, he did not confirm the purchase of farmland magic machinery, but it did not affect his idea of buying some household magic machinery.

After all, after coming to the private manor of the Marquis of Southgate and seeing the magical effects of the various household magic machines that Xu Yi brought this time, no matter how stubborn he is, he must admit that these things are indeed very useful.

Since only a small amount of money can bring so much convenience to your life, why not do it?

Of course, this so-called “a little bit of money” is only for Duke Macaros.

In fact, this time he bought a full seven sets of all kinds of household magic machines from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but he spent a total of 3,600 gold coins.

For the civilians of the Maro Empire, this figure is still a huge amount that they will never earn for a lifetime.

“My lord Marquis, can I ask about the average annual income of the people in your territory?” After Duke Macaros left, Xu Yi suddenly asked the Marquis of Southgate.

“Why are you asking this question?” The Marquis of Southgate was a little strange.

“I just want to use this to estimate your approximate consumption level here.”

The Marquis of Southgate glanced at Xu Yi with a strange look in his eyes.

“Chairman Xu, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. To be honest, although the people in my territory are already a group of people in the empire, they are compared to those under the name of your New Flying Merchants Association. , But it’s still far from it. It’s ashamed to say that, as their lord, I can barely guarantee that they can live normally every year, but I can’t make their lives improve in a real sense.”

Xu Yi smiled and shook his head: “Lord Marquis, this is not your fault. What’s more, if you brought our New Flying Chamber of Commerce here this time, then you will be able to let them live a better life.”

“Sure?” The Marquis of Southgate gave Xu Yi a deep look. “President Xu, you are very confident.”

“Of course, if I don’t even have this confidence, I won’t come at all?” Xu Yi smiled and continued to ask: “Master Marquis, I know the average income of the people in your territory is about How much is it, it can be a very important help for my future planning, please let me know.”

“Really?” The Marquis of Southgate frowned, thought about it, sighed, and shook his head: “Actually, your question… is really difficult to answer. As I said just now, these people on the territory also do it every year. Just barely able to live on, you have to talk about income…they actually have no income at all.”

“So…then I probably know what to do.” Xu Yi nodded, and suddenly stared at the Marquis of Southgate, and said sternly: “My lord, now we can talk about the various houses in this magical industrial base. The issue of factory employees was discussed.”

“The people in our territory must be the main force. There is no room for negotiation.” The Marquis of Southgate responded almost without thinking.

“Of course, this is what we said before, and I don’t mean to change it. Now the question I want to discuss is, how do you plan to deal with the salaries of these employees, Lord Marquis?”

The Marquis of Southgate was taken aback: “What do you mean?”

“I mean, as a lord, you have the right to order your people under your name to enter the factory and work, just like they are farming the farmland on your territory, then our chamber of commerce does not need to pay them another salary, and You only need to pay your lord the cost of hiring them. What do you think?” Xu Yidao.

The Marquis of Southgate frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked: “President Xu, I remember that whether it is the employees of your new flying chamber of commerce or other magic interest-calculating chambers of commerce, all the employees are paid by the chambers of commerce. Bar?”

“Yes. But before that, there were still many magic machinery commerce associations that were run by the noble lords of various countries themselves, and then adopted the method of ordering the people on the territory to enter the factory to work, so the salary paid to the employees was omitted. .”

“Then why is it gone now?”

“Because these chambers of commerce have all been eliminated.” Xu Yi responded with a smile. “Facts have proved that a model like this is difficult to inspire employees’ enthusiasm for work, resulting in some gaps in the quality and performance of the magic machinery produced, so it was eventually eliminated by our new flying chamber of commerce and other magic machinery chambers. This industry.”

“Enthusiasm for work…” The Marquis of Southgate squeezed his chin for a while, nodded and said: “I understand what you mean. President Xu, if I let the people under my name enter these factories as individuals What will you do if you accept employment?”

“That’s very simple, just like us in the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Stantin, treat them as our ordinary employees, give them corresponding salaries, and provide them with some necessary welfare measures. But… …”

At this point, Xu Yi paused.

“If they accept our employment in this way, they should be regarded as workers under the names of our chambers of commerce. As long as the management power is in the hands of our chambers of commerce, even if you are their lord, you cannot directly deal with them. Interference, anything needs to be approved by our chambers of commerce.”

Seeing the serious expression on Xu Yi’s face, the Marquis of Southgate frowned deeply.

Xu Yi’s words are quite straightforward, meaning that if they follow Xu Yi’s plan, the employees who enter the factory will belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce. The Marquis of Southgate is in the majority Time can’t intervene.

To put it simply, Xu Yi is striving for a certain degree of dominance for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce that come here to invest.

And if the Marquis of Southgate did not agree, Xu also gave the consequences, that is, the employees’ enthusiasm for work may be affected, which will affect the work efficiency and the quality of the magic machinery produced.

Under Xu Yi’s gaze, the Marquis of Southgate pondered for a long while, then slowly shook his head.

“Chairman Xu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to agree to your request. It is my lord’s responsibility to manage the people on the territory, and I also have the responsibility to guide them, so at any time, I cannot take my people Leave it to others to manage.”

Xu Yi was calm on the surface, but sighed deeply in his heart.

He was very disappointed with this answer.

I originally thought that the Marquis of Southgate was very enlightened, so he might be more enlightened in this kind of thing, but I didn’t expect that he would be the same as most noble lords in this world. Control of everything.

Of course, Xu Yi is not surprised by this answer.

During the development of the New Flying Merchants Association in recent years, Xu Yi has contacted many noble lords and deeply understands the ideas of the noble lords on this continent, knowing that they will never be affected by the actual benefits. Change this idea easily.

With the vigorous development and standardization of the magic industry industry driven by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce over the years, this has improved slightly in the Lampari Kingdom and neighboring countries, but for the Maro Empire, which is one of the two continents’ two major empires. For the nobles, it is not so easy to change.

Xu Yi hesitated a little, and replied: “If your Lord Marquis chooses this way, that’s fine, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce will be equivalent to hiring people directly from you in the future, and the commission will also be directly handed over to you, but not It’s time to sign private employment agreements with those hired workers. What do you think?”

The Marquis of Southgate nodded slightly: “Well, that’s it. But there is no need for commission or anything. You only need to guarantee the lives of these people. Anyway, you factories have to pay corresponding taxes to me, right?”

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that the Marquis of Southgate might not want the commission because he rejected his proposal just now, but this was not in line with Xu Yi’s plan.

“No, Lord Marquis. Taxes are taxes, and commissions are commissions. This is not to be confused. You already have a lot of tax deductions when you build a factory on your private land. If you cancel the commission, you will suffer too much. ”

The Marquis of Southgate laughed: “Even if I suffer some losses, it is nothing. The most important thing is that you can cooperate with me to improve the environment on the territory. If it can be built like Bangta City or even the headquarters of your new Flying Chamber of Commerce The look there, then even if I exempt your taxes, it won’t be a big deal.”

“You can’t make a joke, Lord Marquis. If I take it seriously, your annual loss will definitely make you regret it.” Xu Yi smiled. “In short, from my businessman’s point of view, any transaction and cooperation should be established on a fair basis, otherwise this transaction and cooperation will not last for a long time. In order for us to be able to cooperate for a long time in the future, so at the very beginning When the time comes, it’s better to make the next fair agreement, are you right?”

The Marquis of Southgate smiled bitterly and shook his head: “Well, since President Xu insists on it, I’ll charge some commission. Well…it’s the first time I have done this kind of thing. I really don’t know how to charge. President Xu Say it, just give me a decent price.”

“Well, every employee every year…” Xu Yi stretched out three fingers. “Thirty gold coins, what do you think?”

The Marquis of Southgate visited the New Flying Chamber of Commerce twice and stayed there for nearly a month in total. It was clear that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce paid more than one hundred gold coins a year to its employees.

In comparison, the commission for thirty gold coins a year is obviously far behind.

But the two have made it very clear just now that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce only hired people from the Marquis of Southgate this time, and cannot have the right to manage these employees. Naturally, it is better than if they hire privately. Much worse.

Although the price difference is a bit big, it is reasonable.

The Marquis of Southgate groaned for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

“Okay, it’s the price. But there is another question, President Xu, according to your estimate, how many people do you need to hire?”

A sly smile appeared on Xu Yi’s face, and then he stretched out a finger.

“Not much, probably only 10,000 people will be enough at the beginning.”

“Ten thousand?!”

The Marquis of Southgate stared at Xu Yi with wide eyes, and was speechless for a long while in surprise.
