Chapter 144 Spread
The Duke of Windsor's sudden change of attitude surprised Xu Yi, but at the same time he felt it was reasonable.
In the final analysis, no one will make life difficult for interests.
The magic industry has developed to a certain extent in the Candela Empire, and everyone can see the huge benefits hidden in this emerging industry.
The province of Tular was originally the bottom-ranked coastal province known for its poverty in the Candela Empire. However, after the introduction of a large number of magic machines and the subsequent magic industry through developed sea transportation, it immediately jumped from the bottom to the bottom. Become the top five developed provinces in fiscal revenue.
Moreover, the benefits brought by the magic industry in Tular Province are not only reflected in the fiscal revenue, but also reflected in the changes in the appearance of the entire Tular Province.
One of the most important points is the large number of job opportunities brought to Tular Province.
Because these chambers of commerce involved in the magic industry are almost all chambers of commerce that require extremely high manpower, so when a large number of factories are opened, almost every person with able-bodied hands and feet in Tular Province can find a job. Don't worry about making a living.
Even the manpower in the province of Tula could not meet the needs of these chambers of commerce and factories, so that countless people from several neighboring provinces flocked to seek job opportunities in the province of Tula.
Many of these people came from the southern provinces.
After witnessing the huge impact of the magic industry on the province of Tulare, if the Duke of Windsor doesn't know how to make changes, he is not worthy of sitting in the position of governor of the southern province for so many years.
The only thing that worried him was the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the two sides had forged a deep hatred before. This time he rushed to the door rashly. I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not agree to cooperate so smoothly.
However, Xu Yi's attitude was far beyond the Duke of Windsor's expectation.
Before the Duke of Windsor spoke. Xu Yi actually explained his intention of coming, and showed a very enthusiastic attitude, and offered to let the two parties cooperate.
Xu Yi was so active and enthusiastic, even though the Duke of Windsor still had some grievances in his heart, he was instantly forgotten.
He has conducted on-the-spot investigations in Tular Province and several surrounding provinces for nearly half a year, and he has deeply realized the huge impact that the magic industry can bring. He is convinced that this new gadget brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely Hidden is powerful enough to change the entire Sainz continent.
If he doesn't make random changes, then I'm afraid he will completely lose his chance. It may even be eliminated by the times.
As the patriarch of the Windsor family and also the governor of the southern province of the Candela Empire, if he does not know how to change, he will probably become a historical sinner of the Windsor family and the southern province.
With the idea of conforming to the trend of the times, mere personal enmity is nothing at all.
So Xu Yi only stayed in Tural Province for three days, but he had already signed a private agreement with the Duke of Peresco and the Duke of Windsor at the same time.
According to this undisclosed agreement, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with Tural Province and Southern Province at the same time.
Of course, because of the embarrassing relationship between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and to take care of the face of the Duke of Windsor, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not directly invest in these two provinces. Instead, it will first establish a chamber of commerce in the Candela Empire through an intermediary that has nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in name and is under the rule of the Candela Empire, named "Tunan Chamber of Commerce"
This Tunan Chamber of Commerce is actually just a leather bag company. The capital is fully injected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is actually responsible for the various investment businesses made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the two major provinces.
According to the agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a farmland magic machinery factory in the province of Tular through the Tunan Chamber of Commerce to supply continuous farmland magic machinery for the two provinces.
Afterwards, two small magic industrial bases will be built in the province of Tular and the southern province respectively. In addition to the main production of household magic machinery, some factory magic machinery will also be produced, mainly for use in the two provinces. infrastructure renovation projects.
This is one of Xu Yi's requests to the two dukes.
He made it clear to the two dukes that in order to successfully develop the magic industry and truly enjoy the convenience brought by the magic industry, the first thing that needs to be solved is the backward infrastructure in the two provinces.
Among these infrastructures, the most important one is road traffic.
So shortly after Xu Yi left, the chairman of the Amley Chamber of Commerce Cruise was invited by the Duke of Peresco to also enter the province of Tural, and the southern province left by the Duke of Peresco and the Duke of Windsor Representatives signed a road construction agreement.
This agreement is different from the private agreement signed by Xu Yi before. It is an official agreement officially stamped with the great seals of the governors of Tular and Southern provinces.
According to the content of the agreement, Tulare Province and Southern Province will invest 1.2 million gold coins and 1.7 million gold coins respectively to build four roads connecting the two provinces. The total mileage is estimated to be more than 1,200 kilometers.
Once these four roads are completed, the goods transported by sea from the southern part of the Tural Province, that is, from several ports on the southern coast of the Candela Empire, will be able to directly connect to the convenient roads and enter the Tural Province and the southern province.
Similarly, various materials and commodities in the two major provinces can also be very conveniently connected to the seaport by road, and then transported to other places by sea.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of supporting road transportation, the two provinces also ordered 200 large freight magic locomotives from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, in view of the fact that the Duke of Windsor has clearly announced that any items related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to enter the southern province, the two hundred and two large freight magic locomotives ordered by the Southern Province from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are attached to a company that belongs to Under the name of an unknown Chamber of Commerce in Tular Province.
As for how the chamber of commerce should drive the large magic freight locomotive into the southern province without arousing suspicion or questioning from everyone, that should be something that the Duke of Windsor should consider, and it is not Xu Yi's turn to have a headache...
While Chairman Cruise was still negotiating with representatives of the two provinces for the construction of the four roads in Tural Province, Xu Yi had already returned to his private manor by the sea at the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After returning home, the first thing Xu Yi did was to go to the huge map of Sainz's continent hanging on the wall of the study.
He picked up the pen and first painted the Tular Province in the southern part of the Candela Empire in red, and then clicked a few times on the area representing the southern province. After a little hesitation, he did not paint the entire area in red. , but just randomly clicked some red dots.
He is very relieved about the province of Tulare, convinced that Duke Peresco is sincere enough to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to jointly develop the magic industry, but Xu Yi is not so confident about the southern province.
Although the Duke of Windsor also showed enough sincerity, but in view of his previous performance, Xu Yi felt that it would take some time to observe.
After painting these two patches of different shades of red, Xu Yi turned his attention to the entire Candela Empire on the map, and found that many pieces of the Candela Empire, which occupies a large area on this map, have already been dyed. The color is red, which shows that the magic industry is developing extremely rapidly in the Candela Empire, and it is no longer the extremely difficult situation at the beginning.
And Xu Yi is the person who firmly believes in the magic power of the magic industry. He believes that when everyone in the Candela Empire understands the benefits brought by the magic industry, the Candela Empire will inevitably fall completely.
This is the trend of the times, and no one or any country can resist it.
Turning his eyes away from the Candela Empire, Xu Yi looked at the Maro Empire, which also occupied a large area to the north, with an even more satisfied expression.
Although there are not as many red areas in the Maro Empire as in the Candela Empire, the color is much darker, which proves that in Xu Yi's mind, it is certain that in these places in the Maro Empire, the degree of development of the magic industry is deeper than in the Candela Empire. much.
The reason for this situation is that there are not many places suitable for the development of the magic industry due to the special geographical conditions in the Maro Empire. The second is because the situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entering the Maro Empire is different, so the expansion is mainly based on Marquis Southgate as the center point, which makes the development situation particularly concentrated and deeper.
Of course, when it comes to the development of the two empires, the Marlow Empire is obviously much stronger than the Candela Empire because of the existence of the leader Marquis Southgate and the official positive attitude of the Marot Empire.
The current Maro Empire has basically achieved enough supply of farmland magic machinery. With the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, more than 30% of the farmland of the Maro Empire has adopted a new type of farmland magic machine harvesting mode during the autumn harvest this year. Compared with previous years, the overall efficiency has increased by more than ten times.
The Maro Empire, which has tasted the sweetness, has made it clear to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that it hopes to obtain the technical support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the manufacture of farmland magic machinery to help the Maro Empire fully implement the transformation of farmland mechanization.
For this reason, the Maro Empire even offered to reduce the 5% tariff on all products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which can be described as full of sincerity.
Don't underestimate the 5% tariff.
Last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including farmland magic machinery, entered the Maro Empire with a total value of 17 million gold coins.
Although the tariffs imposed by the Maro Empire on all kinds of magic machines were not very high, at 54%.
But if the 5% tariff is reduced on this basis, it is equivalent to saving more than 800,000 gold coins for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This may not seem like much, but if you consider that the total value of various products imported by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Marlow Empire next year is likely to exceed 30 million gold coins, it is a number that cannot be ignored.
What's more, because of the reduction of tariffs, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can also adjust the price slightly immediately, which is more convenient for promotion in the Maro Empire, and also makes Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's products more competitive with those of other magic machinery chambers of commerce.
Considering these aspects, the benefits that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gain from it will be even more astonishing.
However, in Xu Yi's view, this condition is still far from enough... (to be continued...)
