Chapter 39 The Port of Going to Sea
Naturally, these words cannot be said directly to Patriarch Weilun, because the reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hired these farmers is because of the agreement signed with Patriarch Weilun, which is to help Patriarch Weilun solve the living problems of 5,000 people in his territory. .
Moreover, according to Xu Yi's investigation and Cantona's private knowledge, although these 5,000 people work here and receive the salary offered by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they are actually counted as the territory of the Weilun Patriarch. The people of Shang, and even more than half of their salaries had to be turned over to Patriarch Wei Lun.
Therefore, Patriarch Wei Lun can teach this lazy worker unscrupulously, but Cantona still wants to defend him no matter how dissatisfied he is with this lazy guy.
After all, for Patriarch Wei Lun, killing one person has no effect at all, and it's a big deal to change another person.
As for Cantona, although this person is lazy, after all, he has gradually become familiar with the operation of the farmland magic machinery through more than half a month, and is regarded as a skilled worker.
Even if he is dissatisfied with the work attitude of these local farmers, he can at least play a role. If someone else comes, he will have to start from scratch.
Looking at Patriarch Wei Lun's fat face, Cantona felt a hint of emotion in his heart.
Such a hideous, cruel and lustful garbage noble, but because he controls this land, he can now get a lot of income from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce every year.
In addition to the annual rent of 300,000 gold coins and 30% of the grain harvest, the monthly salary of each of these 5,000 workers is hardware coins, a total of 25,000 gold coins a month, and he has to take away at least 20,000 gold coins. More than 200,000 gold coins a year.
Do a rough general ledger. Just relying on renting out these 100,000 hectares of land. The annual income of Patriarch Wei Lun is about 600,000 gold coins.
Think of this huge number. Cantona couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
If this money is not given to Patriarch Wei Lun, but used elsewhere, how many things can be done...
But Cantona is also very clear that this can also be regarded as the entry fee for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to knock on the door of the Principality of Standing.
But probably only a big man with great courage like Xu Yi would really dare to make such a determination, right?
At least, Cantona himself did not dare.
"President Cantona, I still have a question." The voice of Patriarch Velen pulled Cantona back from the wandering.
"Huh? Do you have any questions, Patriarch Wei Lun? Please ask directly." Cantona responded and hurriedly laughed.
Patriarch Wei Lun pointed to the various farmland magic machines that were busy in the field and asked, "These farmland magic machines should all be produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? I don't know... President Xu is willing to sell these things to me. How about some?"
Cantona laughed: "Of course. Patriarch Wei Lun. Do you think President Xu asked us to bring so many farmland magic machines just to reclaim this land? Let me tell you the truth, Xu Hui Chang told me in private, to seize every opportunity to publicize the benefits of these farmland magic machines, it is best to use them in every noble territory in the Duchy of Standing. Do you think he will sell them?"
Patriarch Wei Lun suddenly laughed: "It's fine if you're willing to sell it. Very good, President Cantona, please help me inform President Xu, and say that I want to buy 1,000 each of various farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , I hope he can help me solve this problem as soon as possible.”
Cantona smiled and shook his head: "I don't need to tell him, President Xu will be here in a few days. Wouldn't it be better for you to tell him in person?"
"Oh? President Xu is really coming?" Patriarch Wei Lun suddenly looked surprised. "Great! After President Xu arrives, I must treat him well!"
Seeing Patriarch Wei Lun's fleshy face huddled with laughter. Cantona couldn't help shaking his head slightly, thinking that it was no wonder Patriarch Wei Lun was so happy when he heard that Xu Yi was coming.
In other words, whoever hears that the person who can bring him 600,000 gold coins every year is coming, will definitely be as excited as Patriarch Wei Lun.
After discussing with Cantona about the issues on this land for a while, Patriarch Wei Lun left with his subordinates and the maid Shi Shiran satisfied. Cantona thought about it, and then walked towards the seaside.
The coast next to this piece of land gradually changed its appearance at this time. In addition to building a breakwater about 10 meters away from the coastline, a road was built directly from this large piece of land. All the way to a port under construction by the sea.
This coast is a small bay that just blocks the monsoons and huge incursions, forming a natural harbour on the coast.
When Xu Yi asked Cantona to bring people here to reclaim the rented land, he also asked the Amri Chamber of Commerce to send a construction team to build a port here.
Now more than half a month has passed, the port has begun to take shape, and a steel frame has been erected for a wharf leading to the deep sea.
According to Riley, the director of the Amley Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of the project, the port only needs to be poured with concrete and concrete, and the port can be initially formed.
However, the Amley Chamber of Commerce for this new type of cement and concrete dock has no relevant construction experience at all, and the construction of the dock is inherently difficult, so Director Riley is not optimistic about the progress.
Fortunately, Xu Yi did not rush, and gave a construction period of up to five years.
This made Cantona and Riley's director express great confusion when chatting privately.
Since Xu Yi is not in a hurry, why did he want to build this wharf so early?
More importantly, how will the construction of this terminal here help the new pilots? The New Flying Chamber of Commerce doesn't even have a boat...
What's more, even if there are boats, there are so many inland rivers on the Sainz Continent. Why do you want to run into the endless sea where there are dangers hidden everywhere?
During the time when the two came to the Principality of Standing, although they had seen many local fishing boats go out to sea, they were only no more than ten kilometers away from the coast. dare not go.
"Who knows... President Xu's vision is far from the two of us. Maybe he has other plans." Director Riley shrugged, his face indifferent. "Anyway, we just use his money to do things for him. As for what he is thinking. We don't need to care. At least I have known President Xu for more than two years. I have never seen him make a loss. Stupid thing, and this time will be no exception."
Cantona glanced at Director Riley unexpectedly, thinking that although he admired President Xu very much, he couldn't compare to Director Riley's almost blind admiration.
"Don't look at me like that, even our President Cruise admires President Xu very much now, so don't doubt Cantona." Director Riley said with a sigh: "Look, if not President Xu has the ability. You Cantona Chamber of Commerce is such a small chamber of commerce. How could it be possible to wrap up this entire 100,000 hectares of farmland now? 100,000 hectares! How much is the total farmland of our Bangta City? more farmland than all the nobles in Bangta."
Cantona smiled bitterly: "There are enough fields, but what I'm worried about now is whether I can make money."
Director Riley rolled his eyes at Cantona: "What are you worried about? The rent for this field is not paid by the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, you just need to honestly organize people to cultivate and cultivate, and then hand in the grain that should be handed over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , the rest is your own net income."
"I'm not worried about myself, but about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Cantona shook his head. "Because I did some calculations and found that even if three crops of rice can be harvested here, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely lose money in the end. You said that you have never seen President Xu make a loss, but this matter... at least From now on, it looks like it will definitely lose money.”
"Don't worry." Director Riley patted Cantona on the shoulder: "As I said just now, President Xu must be much better than us. Now from your point of view, he may be losing money. But Losing money is two different things. Because capital represents a lot of things. President Xu may lose a little money because of this, but he will definitely gain more. It’s just that neither of us can see it now.”
Cantona glanced at Director Riley speechlessly, thinking that his confidence in Xu Yi was blind enough.
But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be his business. The Cantona Chamber of Commerce is just a very weak and small chamber of commerce. If you make a mistake in judgment, it is better to study how to develop yourself.
Thinking of this, Cantona rolled his eyes, took Director Riley's shoulders, raised his eyebrows at him, and asked with a wicked smile, "Stop talking, let's go have a drink after work tonight. I heard that the little girls here in the Principality of Standing are very good, do you want to experience it?"
Director Riley swallowed, but shook his head: "No, a batch of new materials arrives tonight, I have to arrange for someone to take over, and I have to personally see that nothing happens."
Cantona was a little disappointed: "That's such a pity, I also said that we should go to drink some wine together and deepen our relationship. Maybe we will work together in this place for a long time in the future, and it will not work if we do not have a good relationship. ."
Director Riley laughed: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. Now that things are done, we will only have more relaxation in the future. We can play as we want. If we really handle everything here, believe it or not that Wei Lun Patriarch Are you asking for us in the future? At that time, what kind of little girl do you want to experience is not just a word from Patriarch Wei Lun?"
Cantona thought for a while, then sighed: "Well, I'll talk about it later. But every time I see Patriarch Wei Lun, I always think, he's so fat, and he can't put it on those little girls. Those little girls were crushed to death..."
Director Riley smiled and was about to answer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him from a distance and stopped immediately.
Seeing the appearance of Director Riley, Cantona turned his head and found that the man who rushed over was a subordinate of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
This Cantona's subordinate rushed all the way to Cantona, and before he had time to rest, he panted heavily: "Fight... fight... fight!"
Cantona frowned: "What's the fight?"
"I... our... people, and... and that... those lazy people... got into a fight..."
Cantona was shocked.
