Things from Another World - Chapter 1023

[1023. Chapter 1021 Problems that must be faced]

Although the first drag racing parties in Purandal appeared on the streets of Bein, fortunately, there are not many magic cars on the streets now. In addition, the city streets have become very spacious after reconstruction, so their drag racing competition It didn’t cause any bad consequences, but their cars have now been registered with the traffic police. The next time they violate traffic rules, severe punishment will definitely be waiting for them.

Under Sax’s urging, his driver finally won the first place. After Sax threw a handful of banknotes to reward him, he immediately got out of the car and rushed into the store, waving the banknotes in his hand and shouting: “I want to buy Qingtian Pillars! I want all the cars in stock!”

“Sorry, sir.”

The salesperson said apologetically, “You’re late, the car has been sold out.”

Sold out!

?

As if a thunderbolt hit his head, Sachs was dumbfounded: “What about Hercules?!”

“Sold out.”

“Where’s Little King Kong!?”

“Also sold out.”

The salesperson smiled: “This batch All trucks have been sold out. Please come early next time, or place an order in advance now. We will notify you as soon as the vehicle is delivered.”

It’s also good to make a reservation!

Without hesitation, Sachs took out his Star Diamond Bank crystal card and Datang Chamber of Commerce’s Samsung card: “I want to reserve four Optimus Primes! Five Hercules! Ten Little King Kongs!” “

Okay, you have a total of The consumption is 7 million gold. According to the current 20% discount activity, the discounted price is 5.6 million gold. Your membership card can enjoy the discount and then a 10% discount. Therefore, the final price is 5.04 million gold. We will charge you a 40,000 gold deposit first. , the remaining balance will be paid in one lump sum when you pick up the car, no problem?”

When he heard the salesman say 7 million gold, Sax’s liver trembled, even if he took out 7 million in one breath Jin was also in pain, but after the salesperson continued to explain the discounted price, he let out a long sigh of relief and felt immediately at ease.

In the past, he never felt that the Samsung Lord Card in his hand had any special benefits. After all, the 10% discount was not really a discount. However, when the price base of the purchased items was large, the 10% discount saved him a full 56. Ten thousand gold is equivalent to giving him five small diamond cars and 60 high-grade magic crystals for free!

And it’s even discounted!

His Majesty Tang En is so generous, I really love him to death!

“No!”

Sachs asked hurriedly: “Am I the first to make a reservation?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That is to say, if a new car arrives, will I be notified first?”

“That’s right. Sir.”

Sachs suddenly beamed with joy: “That’s it, sign the contract!”

Although he didn’t get the first batch of purchases, he still managed to get the first batch of orders!

We are not leading, but we cannot lag behind either!

When Sachs handed over the money to sign the contract, he suddenly smiled proudly when he saw other people arriving one after another making the same choice as him.

What about your reservation?

Now it is obvious that the Datang Chamber of Commerce has insufficient production capacity. Even if you have made a reservation, when the goods arrive, I will be the first to pick up the car. You all stand behind me and stare at me!

The same situation as here in the mountain city of Bein is happening all over the Illrus Empire. After understanding the advantages of trucks and carriages, those chambers of commerce are almost crazy to buy, even the expensive Optimus Prime heavy truck. It was completely sold out in the blink of an eye.

In other words, on this day alone, the Optimus Prime heavy truck alone brought in more than 80 million gold for the Datang Chamber of Commerce!

The material cost of Optimus Prime is only 50,000 gold, and the research and development costs are almost negligible. In other words, the net profit from selling these 100 Optimus Prime heavy trucks has reached more than 75 million gold!

This terrifying profitability not only frightened Alleria, but also Fiona.

“Although I know that everything you create is very profitable, this heavy-duty truck is too profitable!”

Fiona couldn’t help but sigh: “I regret continuing to promote the 20% off discount now, if not With the 20% discount event, the profit will increase by almost 20 million gold!”

“You really have an eye for money.”

Tang En turned over the silver: “Once again, don’t forget that we print the money! Our mission It makes sense to sell products to them to earn their money, and then spend the money where it should be spent.”

“I understand, your Majesty!”

Fiona rolled her eyes at him, and then continued happily Looking at the report, no matter how many times she looked at it, the beautiful numbers on it made her feel very happy.

“Oh, right.”

At this moment, Fiona suddenly remembered something: “Brian is looking for you. Go and see what he wants. He is waiting for you at the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute.” “

He is looking for me. ?”

Tang En raised the corner of his mouth: “It just so happened that I also had something to ask him about.”

Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute.

“…Due to a large number of technical support and personnel training policies, the number of our downstream manufacturers is now very large. Every day we have to export a large amount of raw materials and core components to meet their needs, which has resulted in Now our consumption of raw materials is extremely alarming, so, brother, now we are facing a very troublesome problem.”

“Oh?”

“Production capacity has increased significantly, and it is expected to continue to grow rapidly, and the consumption of raw materials has increased significantly. , now our raw ore production capacity can no longer keep up with consumption!”

“I understand.”

Tang En nodded. He had considered this issue and knew that this issue would arise sooner or later, but he did not expect that this day would come so early.

“Do you have a solution?”

Brian’s eyes lit up, and then he hurriedly closed his eyes and said with trembling lips: “…Maybe when you come back, can you put me down and talk properly?”

At this moment, Brian was tied by the rope. With his feet tied and his head hanging from the ceiling, the mage’s hands pushed him from time to time to make him spin in mid-air. Although he was only a few meters above the ground, this pure-blooded mountain dwarf was already turning his eyes and starting to Confused.

“Do you want to come down? Maybe I will consider letting you down when you know what to say and what not to say.”

Tang En curled his lips. Yes, he was deliberately punishing this loudmouthed talker. Just because he couldn’t control his mouth when he drank and spread rumors in Ellington, almost everyone is gossiping about those rumors now.

The answer to the annoying password at the Great Rift Valley camp was this guy’s idea.

Brian blinked his eyes and said with a smile: “Well, brother, I have deeply reflected on my mistakes. Don’t you see my sincerity in my shining eyes?” “

No. , I only saw eye poop.”

Tang En didn’t even bother to raise his eyelids, rubbing his chin and thinking about the raw materials.

Due to the previously launched magic drills and mine car components, Plandar’s raw ore production capacity has actually increased a lot. Compared with the initial production, it has increased by more than ten times. Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about the nearby Brussels. The iron mine, Ellington’s own iron ore, initially relied on miners to dig with iron picks to remove useless gravel and soil. Thousands of miners dug out only a few tons of pure iron ore every day.

However, after the magic drilling rig was installed and the mine was renovated, there are now fewer people working shifts every day and the work pressure is less, but the production capacity has increased nearly twenty times, and fifty or sixty tons can be transported to Ellington in one day. iron ore.

Although it is far from the mines on the earth that can produce hundreds of thousands of tons per day, looking at the current Purandar, this kind of production capacity is already quite terrifying.

Unfortunately, this amount of production capacity still cannot meet the current industrial needs of Ellington.

Especially after the industrial scale is further expanded, this raw ore production capacity will be a bit stretched.

There are currently many mines under Tang En’s name, including those owned by the Illus royal family. However, most of the mines are still in an undeveloped state, and it is difficult to form effective production capacity to supply ore in a short period of time.

Why not mine?

Let me say it again, because there is a shortage of people!

!

!

Unlike on Earth, if I use one word to describe it, Purandar is vast and sparsely populated.

Tang En had previously estimated that the size of this planet was larger than the Earth. However, after experiencing two chaos invasion wars, how many people are still on this planet?

If we roughly calculate the statistics of each race, we can have a population of 500 million!

With a population of 500 million, walking on a land that is wider than the European continent, how could there be a large number of migrant labor under the previous traffic conditions?

Generally speaking, miners working in a local mine are local residents who go to the mines to serve in the mines after reaching grade 1 to replace military service or to deduct taxes. There are very few migrant workers who specifically go to work in the mines.

How many people can a third-tier town have?

Including surrounding villages, no more than 200,000 people were killed.

Don’t think it’s small, don’t forget, the super cities of Purandal, namely Yalinks, Anthem City, Fira, Nanira, and Blood Rock City, have an average population of only about 1.5 million. It is far less than the population of third-tier cities on earth!

In other words, if we want to solve the labor shortage, we must solve the problems of low fertility rate, excessive fetal mortality, and steadily increase the population.

But this is a long-term plan, and Tang En obviously cannot wait decades before developing industry.

Although long-term plans cannot be given up, short-term plans must also be solved.

So, how to solve the existing labor shortage problem without reaping the demographic dividend?

Tang En narrowed his eyes and looked at Brian who was wandering around. A vague plan emerged in his mind…
