Chapter 132 Year-End Bonus

This public auction, which attracted the attention of countless people and eventually attracted dozens of large and small chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom, gathered in Bangta City. That's it.

Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can't come up with an exaggerated amount of 2 million gold coins, and as everyone thinks, there is no qualification to apply for a huge loan of 5 million gold coins from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.

The loan of five million gold coins was actually a loan applied for by His Majesty the King in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two million gold coins that were used in the auction of the first mine naturally flowed back to His Majesty's hands, and in the end, together with the three million gold coins that could not be spent, they were directly returned to the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.

In this auction, after the settlement, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not spend a penny at all, and what His Majesty paid was only the negligible interest of 20,000 gold coins generated by the short-term loan of 5 million gold coins.

Compared to the 2,300,000 gold coins earned from the sale of the second mine, this is really nothing.

Of course, according to the contract between Xu Yi and His Majesty the King, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce should have acquired two mines. Now, although one of them has finally fallen into the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through this means, there is still one mine that has been acquired by Falcao. Chamber of Commerce auction.

However, in the plan of Sevigny and Xu Yi, this has also been dealt with.

It would be great if Xu Yi could buy the second mine at a suitable price, but when President Morgan directly threw out harsh words at the auction, Xu Yi chose to give up after careful consideration.

In this case, Sevigny gave Xu Yi two options.

First, according to the valuation of the second mine of 1.3 million gold coins in the contract, His Majesty the King directly paid 1.3 million gold coins to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Counts as payment for subsequent Farmland Magic Machinery orders.

The second is to choose another iron mine of a similar scale in the kingdom and find a way to give it to Xu Yi. This is no different from the previous contract.

However, Xu Yi told Sevigny another plan. That is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce leases a part of the land to the royal family and uses the rent of this part of the land as payment.

As for the land area, Xu Yi's initial request is the size of ten Bangta cities.

And Sevigny's answer to this is...

"President Xu, are you crazy?"

Of course Xu Yi wasn't crazy, on the contrary, he was very awake.

It is precisely because he is very sober that he proposes a plan to lease land from the royal family, instead of directly acquiring the territory as before.

Because Xu Yi has studied the history of the Lampari Kingdom for this purpose, and then discovered that since the founding of the country. Although the Royal Lampari royal family has promoted new nobles, they have never sealed even an inch of land.

It can be seen that the royal family of the Lampari royal family attaches great importance to the ownership of the land.

Xu also didn't think he was qualified to let the royal family make an exception to give him land, so after considering it, he decided to take the next step and lease the land from the royal family.

The same is the lease, but there is a big difference between leasing the territory from the royal family and leasing the territory from the nobles.

First of all, the royal family is the ruler of the Lampari Kingdom, which owns more than 70% of the kingdom's territory excluding the territories of the various nobles.

If you rent it from the royal family, you can be more generous and ask for a large area to rent.

And if it is rented from the nobles. Even from the Stark family, which currently has the largest territory, it is absolutely impossible to lease an area that would satisfy Xu Yi.

Secondly, the royal family is undoubtedly much better in terms of stability than those nobles.

If it is to lease territory from nobles. The nobles only need a random change in their thoughts, which can lead to various passives of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

As the ruler of the kingdom, the royal family pays more attention to the reputation and the overall situation than the nobles. Under normal circumstances, it will not easily change the established policy.

The reason why Xu Yi is so eager for his own territory is that the main pressure actually comes from the latter point.

Now the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce leases the territory of Viscount Leslie. Although Xu Yi has a good relationship with Viscount Leslie, and Viscount Leslie is also the major shareholder of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is usually no problem. But Xu also doesn't have much expectations for this relationship.

This can be seen from the three hundred slaves that Viscount Leslie inserted into the home magic machinery production workshop some time ago.

Obviously, these 300 slaves did not belong to Viscount Leslie, and Viscount Leslie himself seemed to be dissatisfied with the placement of these 300 slaves, so he had hinted in private that Xu Yi should not put these 300 slaves in. Three hundred slaves were treated as real workers, not to mention giving them access to all the technology in the workshop.

But no matter how unwilling Viscount Leslie was, these three hundred slaves still entered the workshop, and after more than a month of study, a large number of slaves have now mastered considerable technology.

Xu Yi of course knew very well that these 300 slaves should have been inserted by the Stark family behind Viscount Leslie.

From this, we know that Viscount Leslie is bound to be influenced by the family behind him.

So no matter how good his relationship with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is, he can't decide everything.

So Xu also wants to avoid uncontrollable situations, and of course wants to have his own territory.

Even if the lease of the royal family's land is also limited by people, in any case, it is much better than the current situation.

So even if Sevigny couldn't help but scold Xu Yi for being crazy, Xu Yi still insisted on this request.

At Xu Yi's insistence, Sevigny finally decided to report Xu Yi's plan to His Majesty the King.

As for whether Xu Yi will get his wish, Sevigny can't guarantee it.

The closing work of the auction took Xu Yi a while. After he completed all the formalities and successfully completed the work of taking over the mine in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the time quietly did not feel that it was the end of December.

Sainz Continent also celebrates the New Year, and the New Year, of course, has a holiday.

Although there are still a lot of unfinished orders from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. but no matter. Xu also couldn't ask the workers to continue to work overtime during the New Year period.

After consultation with Heinze, Camby and others. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally decided to start the holiday on December 25th and end on January 7th.

On December 20, the two workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were filled with joy again.

Because the New Year holiday announced by Xu Yi was longer than that of most chambers of commerce in Bangta City, once it was announced, it naturally received strong support from all workers.

What makes the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even more happy is that Xu Yi announced that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not only pay everyone's salary for this period of time before the new year, but also pay no one an extra month's basic salary. As a year-end bonus!

Before this, no one knew what the year-end bonus was!

After hearing Xu Yi personally announce the news. Almost all the workers are going crazy with joy!

Because according to the information announced by Xu Yi, most workers can not only get the salary of the previous month, but also the salary of the most half of the month, and even the basic salary of the whole month!

In this way, any worker can receive a salary of more than 30 gold coins before the Chinese New Year!

Even workers with higher wages and more overtime can receive a high salary of more than 40 gold coins, or even close to 50 gold coins!

For these workers who could only earn three to four gold coins per month before they entered the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can be considered a huge sum of money!

With this money. These workers from poor families no longer have to worry about their family's livelihood every time they celebrate the New Year as before.

Thinking that I can go home with a lot of gold coins, and let my parents and wives live a particularly solid and prosperous New Year. The workers looked at Xu Yi with gratitude.

At this moment, Xu Yi's image in their minds became extremely tall.

But not all workers were so excited, the biggest exception being the three hundred slaves that Viscount Leslie had inserted.

Unlike the 100 slaves who had already been transferred to Xu Yi's name, these 300 slaves, Viscount Leslie, had specially explained that they could not give them any preferential treatment, so even if Xu Yi felt a little sorry, he still couldn't give them any favors. They also get paid.

Even trying to give them some material compensation was a lot of scruples. In the end, Xu Yi had no choice but to buy some small things that might be used in the New Year and send them to them as a commendation for their work.

However, even if it was such a small thing with a total value of less than a gold coin, these slaves felt like they were hot to the touch. If it wasn't for Xu Yi's strong ordering of their subordinates, I'm afraid no one would dare to accept it.

In addition to these three hundred slaves, the nine magicians who were mainly responsible for drawing the magic circle were not as excited as the other workers.

These magicians have only been in the New Flying Merchants Association for less than a month. They have no sense of identity here, and naturally they will not be as excited as those workers.

Second, the magicians were much more knowledgeable than the workers, so how could they be easily moved.

Of course, it would be a lie to say that you are unhappy.

Although they have only worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for less than a month, because their work efficiency is much higher than those of the students, after the settlement, the salary they received actually exceeded 20 gold coins!

If it is a full month, their monthly salary will be close to or even more than thirty gold coins!

For these magicians who are not even second-level, this is a high salary that is enough to make them happy.

This day, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not work as usual, but finished some work in the morning and cleaned up the two workshops.

At noon, they had a dinner together, and after a good meal, they began to pay their wages.

After a lot of tossing like this, the whole day passed like this.

After finally making the final arrangements for the workers this year, Xu Yi and the leaders of the chambers of commerce such as Heinze and Camby came to Bangta City. The Institute where Tower and Akali are located.
