Chapter 144: Spread
The Duke of Windsor's sudden change in attitude surprised Xu Yi, but at the same time, he felt reasonable.
At the end of the day, no one is going to get along with interests.
The magical industry has developed to a certain extent within the Candela Empire, and everyone can see the huge benefits hidden in this new industry.
Originally, the province of Tular was only the lowest coastal province in the Candela Empire, which was notoriously poor, but after the introduction of a large number of magical machinery and the ensuing magic industry through the developed maritime transportation of Tongguò, it immediately became one of the top five developed provinces in terms of fiscal revenue.
Moreover, the benefits brought by the magical industry in the province of Tular are not only reflected in the financial revenue, but also in the fact that the entire province of Tular has changed.
One of the main ones is the large number of job opportunities that have been brought to the province of Tular.
Because almost all of these chambers of commerce involved in the magic industry are extremely demanding chambers of commerce, when a large number of factories are opened, almost everyone with good hands and feet in the province of Tular can find a job and no longer have to worry about making a living.
Even the manpower of the province of Tular could not meet the needs of these chamber factories, so much so that countless people from the neighboring provinces flocked to the province in search of jobs.
Many of these people are from the southern provinces.
Having witnessed the tremendous impact of the magical industry on the province of Tural, the Duke of Windsor would not have been worthy of sitting in the position of Governor of the Southern Province for so many years if he did not know how to make changes.
The only thing that worries him is actually the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the two sides have formed a deep feud before. He came to the door this time. I'm afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not agree to cooperate so smoothly.
However, Xu Yi's attitude greatly surprised the Duke of Windsor.
He didn't even wait for the Duke of Windsor to speak. Xu Yi actually broke his intention, and showed a very enthusiastic attitude, and offered to let the two sides cooperate.
Xu is so active and enthusiastic, even if the Duke of Windsor still has some mustard in his heart, he is instantly forgotten.
He has been on the field for nearly half a year in the province of Tular and several surrounding provinces, and has deeply experienced the huge impact that the magic industry can bring, and is convinced that this new gadget brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is definitely a powerful force that can change the entire Sainz continent.
If he doesn't make random changes, then I'm afraid he will lose the opportunity completely. It is even possible to be obsolete by the times.
As the patriarch of the House of Windsor and the governor of the southern provinces of the Candela Empire, if he does not know how to change, he will probably become a historical sinner of the House of Windsor and the southern provinces.
With the idea of conforming to the trend of the times, personal feuds are nothing at all.
As a result, Xu Yi only stayed in the province of Tular for three days, but he had already signed a private agreement with the Duke of Perezco and the Duke of Windsor at the same time.
Under the agreement, which will not be made public, the Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with both the Tural and Southern provinces.
Of course, because of the awkward relationship between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and in order to take care of the Duke of Windsor's face, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not directly enter these two provinces to invest. Instead, they will first set up a chamber of commerce within the Candela Empire that has nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and belongs to the Candela Empire, called the "Tunan Chamber of Commerce"
This Tunan Chamber of Commerce is actually just a leather bag company. The funds are fully injected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is actually responsible for the various investment businesses carried out by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the two major provinces.
According to the agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a farmland magic machinery factory in Tular Province through the Tunan Chamber of Commerce, and specialize in supplying the two provinces with continuous farmland magic machinery.
In the future, two small magic industrial bases will be built in the province of Tular and the southern province, which will produce not only household magic machinery, but also some factory magic machinery, which will be mainly used for infrastructure renovation projects in the two provinces.
This was one of the requests that Xu Yi made to the two dukes.
He made it clear to the two dukes that in order to develop the magic industry smoothly and truly enjoy the convenience brought by the magic industry, the first thing that needed to be solved was the backward infrastructure problem in the two major provinces.
And the most important of these infrastructures is road transportation.
Therefore, not long after Xu Yi left, the president of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, Cruise, was invited by the Duke of Perezco to enter the province of Tular and sign a road construction agreement with the Duke of Perezco and the representatives of the southern provinces left by the Duke of Windsor.
This agreement, unlike the private agreement signed by Xu Yi, was an official agreement that officially stamped the seal of the governor of the Tural and southern provinces.
According to the agreement, the Tular and Southern provinces will invest 1.2 million gold and 1.7 million gold respectively to build four roads connecting the two provinces, with a total length of more than 1,200 kilometers.
Once these four roads are completed, goods transported by sea from the southern part of the province of Tular, that is, from several ports on the southern coast of the Kandela Empire, will be able to travel directly to the province of Tular and the southern province by convenient road.
In the same way, all kinds of goods and goods in the two provinces can also be easily connected to the seaport by guò road, and then transported to other places by sea by guò.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of supporting transportation on the road, the two major 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 had clearly announced that no items related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would be allowed to enter the Southern Province, the two hundred taels of large freight magic locomotives ordered by the Southern Province from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were attached to an unknown Chamber of Commerce that nominally belonged to the Province of Tural.
As for how this chamber of commerce should drive a large freight magic locomotive into the southern provinces without arousing everyone's suspicion or questioning, it should be something that the Duke of Windsor considers, and it is not Xu Yi's turn to have a headache......
While President Cruise was still negotiating with representatives of the two major provinces in Tular Province for the construction of the four roads, Xu Yi had already returned to his private estate near 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 that hung on the wall of the study.
He picked up the pen and first painted the southern province of Tular in the Candela Empire red, then clicked a few times on the area representing the southern province, and after a little hesitation, he did not paint the whole area red, but just dotted some red dots casually.
He was very relieved about the Tural Province, and was sure that the Duke of Peresco was sincere enough and willing to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to jointly develop the magic industry, but for the Southern Province, Xu Yi was not so confident.
Although the Duke of Windsor also showed enough sincerity, in view of his previous appearance, Xu also felt that it would take some time to observe.
After painting these two different shades of red, Xu Yi looked at the entire Candela Empire on the map, and found that many pieces of the Candela Empire, which occupied a large area on this map, had been dyed red, which showed that the development momentum of the magic industry in the Candela Empire was extremely rapid, and it was no longer the extremely difficult situation at the beginning.
Xu is also the person who has the most belief in the magic of the magic industry, and he believes that when everyone in the Candela Empire understands the benefits of the magic industry, the Candela Empire will inevitably fall completely.
This is the trend of the times, and no one person or country can resist it.
Turning his gaze away from the Candela Empire again, Xu Yi looked at the Maro Empire, which also occupied a large area in the north, and his expression was even more satisfied.
Although the red areas in the Maro Empire are not as many as those in the Candela Empire, they are much darker, proving that in Xu Yi's mind, it is determined that in these places in the Maro Empire, the development of the magic industry is much deeper than in the Candela Empire.
The reason for this situation is that the geographical situation in the Maro Empire is special, and there are not many places suitable for the development of the magic industry. The second is that because the situation of the new flying chamber of commerce into the Marlo Empire is different, it mainly expands with the Marquis of Southgate as the central point, which seems to be extremely concentrated, but more in-depth.
Of course, if we talk about the development of the two empires, the Maro Empire is obviously much stronger than the Candela Empire because of the existence of the Marquis of Southgate, the leader, and the positive attitude of the Maro Empire.
With the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, more than thirty percent of the farmland in the Maro Empire has adopted a new type of farmland magic mechanical harvesting mode during this year's autumn harvest, and the overall efficiency has increased by more than ten times compared with previous years.
The Maro Empire, which has tasted the sweetness, has clearly expressed 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 took the initiative to propose a 5% reduction in tariffs on all products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which can be described as full of sincerity.
Don't underestimate this 5% tariff.
Last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, including the 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 types of magic machinery were not very high in the first place, at 54%.
However, if the tariff is reduced by 5% 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 the various products that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will import to the Maro Empire next year is very likely to exceed 30 million gold coins, it is a number that cannot be ignored.
What's more, because of the reduction of tariffs, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can also adjust the price slightly immediately, which is more convenient to promote in the Maro Empire, and also makes the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more competitive than the products of other Magic Machinery Chamber of Commerce.
If you consider these aspects, the benefits that the new flying chamber of commerce will gain from it are even more amazing.
However, in Xu Yi's view, this condition is still far from enough...... (To be continued......)
