Chapter 122 Long-Term Planning

Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not idle.

Developing the maritime trade route between the Principality of Standing and the Candela Empire in the southern part of the Endless Sea is of great significance to the future strategic planning of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but this is far from the only thing that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs to do.

It can even be said that the importance of this matter in Xu Yi's mind cannot even be squeezed into the top three.

Because even if it is also developing the internal market of the two empires, in comparison, there is no conflict with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Maro Empire, which has no worries about introducing the magic machinery industry into the country, has done much better in this regard. .

While the Candela Empire was still arguing and hesitating over the purchase of farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Maro Empire had requested the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to purchase a large number of farmland magic machines for the fifth time last month.

In the first half of this year alone, official orders from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Maro Empire reached 85,000 units of various farmland magic machines, with a total amount of more than 5.7 million gold coins.

At the same time, there are still a large number of orders from the people of the Maro Empire, that is, the nobles.

Although the total number is still far behind the huge official orders of the Marlow Empire Ministry of Agriculture, the growth rate is astonishing.

Before the autumn harvest last year, the orders for farmland magic machines from the various nobles of the Marlow Empire, including Marquis Southgate, were only 2,000 units. After the spring harvest in the first half of this year, the number suddenly soared to more than 20,000. Taiwan, the total amount broke through two million gold coins at once.

And as the acceptance of these farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce within the Maro Empire became higher and higher, more and more nobles also began to order various farmland magic machines.

According to the statistics and estimates of the marketing department of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, by the end of this year. This number will most likely exceed 50,000 units. The total amount was close to four million gold coins.

If so. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may sell more than 10 million gold coins just by selling farmland magic machinery to the Maro Empire.

Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to bear part of the freight to the Maro Empire, thus increasing the cost, but with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's consistent high profits, the net income from it will at least exceed four million gold coins.

In addition to farmland magic machines, all kinds of household magic machines are also rapidly becoming popular in the Marlo Empire.

Seeing that summer is about to enter, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has received more than 7,000 orders for magic air conditioners and magic refrigerators from the Maro Empire, with a total amount of more than 200,000 gold coins.

This number is very small compared to the millions or even thousands of gold coins of farmland magic machines. But this is only an order from several Marlow Empire nobles who are familiar with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including Marquis Southgate.

Judging from the various messages received by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's office in the Maro Empire during this period of time, once summer really enters, orders in this area will definitely skyrocket.

Coupled with other types of household magic machinery, the total amount of orders from the Maro Empire in this regard is estimated to be at least more than two million gold coins.

Calculated in this way, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only started to develop the market in the Maro Empire in the second half of the year before last. In less than two years, this market has brought the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more than five million gold coins this year. .

And this is only a small part of the market in the Maro Empire. If it is as mature as the Lampari Kingdom, the benefits that this huge market will bring to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly be extremely amazing.

The reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will formulate different plans for the different situations of the two empires. Of course it is because these two empires are the two most important countries on the Sainz continent.

But for Xu Yi, who is determined to spread the magic industry all over the continent of Sainz, this is of course not enough.

So in addition to a series of development plans for the two empires. What Xu Yi paid more attention to was how to simultaneously develop other countries on the mainland.

A few years ago, because the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom came to the door on its own initiative, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce created a route connecting the southeastern corner of the mainland, including the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, through the waterway opened in the southern waters of the Endless Sea. country channel.

Now that several years have passed, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has laid a solid foundation in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and the magic industry brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has also affected the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and several surrounding countries. had a noticeable impact.

Last year, Neval led the first fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet from the Principality of Standing to the north. The original main purpose was to explore the sea passage connecting the northern seaport of the Maro Empire. The small countries got in touch and successfully aroused the interest of these small countries in magical machines.

According to the plan, next week, Neval will lead the first fleet of the transport fleet to head to the port of Stratholme in the north of the Maro Empire again.

This time, apart from delivering a batch of goods to the port of Stratholme, the most important task Neval is responsible for is to strengthen exchanges with these small countries along the way.

If it goes well, Xu Yi is willing to build several small magic industrial bases in each of these small countries.

In addition to this sea passage, the Sac Kingdom has reached a private agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open a land passage on the west coast of the Sak Kingdom to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can directly pass through the Black Rice Wasteland. Enter the coastal land in the west of the Kingdom of Sark, and then go all the way to the Kingdom of Ahn'Qiraj in the north of the Kingdom of Sark.

A sea route, combined with this land channel, can make it easier for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to establish direct contact with several countries in the northwest corner of the Sainz continent.

In this way, judging from the map, the only place where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not easy to get in touch with is only a few countries in the east and northeast of the Sainz continent.

And this is indeed a difficult problem for Xu Yi.

Because judging from the map, it is undoubtedly more convenient and direct to enter these countries by land, and the distance is also close.

But this is bound to pass through the Candela Empire, and with the delicate relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire, this is obviously a very unrealistic choice.

If it is not feasible on land, we can only consider the sea route.

However, if the sea route is used, it is almost equivalent to walking around the entire Sainz continent, and the time and other costs required will skyrocket accordingly.

And if the distance is too far away, it will also cause great obstacles to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's response at any time.

Before it is difficult to solve the big problem of crossing the Candela Empire for the time being, but also for longer-term considerations, Xu Yi proposed a solution after careful consideration, which is to directly establish a base belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the corresponding place. A clone went over to deal with various affairs that were too far away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

To put it another way, it is to open a sub-base...

However, it is not so easy to open a sub-base, because first of all, you must ensure that the sub-base has sufficient self-protection capabilities, and you must also ensure that there is a smooth connection between the main base and the sub-base, so that the sub-base can go smoothly. Survive and grow stronger to fulfill the responsibilities of the sub-base.

However, with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not enough to support a branch base that is even more than 5,000 kilometers away from the main base.

So this involved the most important thing in Xu Yi's heart, and in his opinion, the most basic thing to change this continent and the world, and it was also something that had to be resolved first.

The name of this thing reflects this, because it is called "infrastructure".

In Xu Yi's view, what really hinders the development of this continent, and also the problem that most affects his promotion of the industrialization process of Sainz Continent, is that the infrastructure on Sainz Continent is really poor.

Of course, this continent itself cannot be blamed, because before Xu Yi traveled here, this continent was originally in a state similar to that of the semi-feudal and semi-slavery period on the earth, except for the fact that it possesses magic, a form of civilization that is very different from that on the earth. , and other aspects are extremely backward, so naturally there is no so-called infrastructure construction.

Now after many years of planning and the strong cooperation of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, at least in terms of transportation, including the Kingdom of Lampali, the Principality of Standing, the Kingdom of Luerson and several other small countries around Substantially improved.

The first is the paving of roads. The total mileage of roads in the Kingdom of Lampari alone has exceeded 50,000 kilometers this year. Not only are every city connected by roads, but even every town is also connected by roads, which has caused the road conditions to change dramatically. General changes.

Second, is the means of transportation.

In this regard, with the popularization of various passenger and cargo magic cars of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the traditional horse-drawn carriages have basically been completely replaced in these countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent.

Coupled with the large-scale paving of roads, if you travel among these countries now, the time you need to spend on the journey has been greatly improved compared to before, and the comfort level has also been greatly improved.

Because of the convenient transportation, people in these countries are more willing to leave their homes and go to distant places than before, making population mobility very common, and it is also more convenient for those companies that require a lot of manpower, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The New Magic Industry Chamber of Commerce is recruiting.

With the development of these years, these countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent have each formed a magic industrial zone around several centers.

Compared with the two emerging areas of the Candela Empire, these magic industrial areas are more complete and mature in all aspects.

According to Xu Yi's plan, in the future, such magic industrial zones will be spread all over the continent, spreading the influence of the magic industry to the entire continent.

The key to achieve this, in addition to transportation, there is another equally important factor, that is communication. (To be continued..)
