This particular object is Viscount Leslie.

Viscount Leslie has been on Paradise Island for ten years with the rest of the Stark family, and has already brought Paradise Island under his control.

With the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the current Paradise Island has already developed a good magic industry, and because of Xu Yi's proposal, Viscount Leslie positioned the main development direction of Paradise Island in the shipbuilding industry and marine fishery.

Paradise Island now has four ports, three shipyards, and is capable of building at least five large cargo magic ships and more than twenty frigates per year, which is even enough to match the output of several shipyards in the main base of the New Flying Chamber.

Most of these ships were supplied to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and a few were kept by Viscount Leslie for his own use.

Equipped with the marine military magic machinery provided by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Viscount Leslie has developed over the years and has controlled a huge fleet of eight large cargo magic ships and twenty-seven magic frigates.

These eight large cargo magic ships, together with other small cargo magic ships, form a fleet with extremely strong transportation capacity, which can not only afford the trade between Paradise Island and the Sainz continent, but also accept the shipping requirements of many countries and chambers of commerce on the Sainz continent.

The shipping of the Leslie Chamber of Commerce is second only to the reputation of the Xinfei Transport Chamber of Commerce, and even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sometimes hires the ship of the Leslie Chamber of Commerce to help complete the shipping.

It can be said that after Leslie arrived on Paradise Island, he found a new world, allowing him to give full play to his abilities. Space to stretch your fists and feet.

And he did a great job. Keep Paradise Island in order.

Last year. Xu Yi was invited by Leslie to visit Paradise Island once, and found that the island was a far change from the desolate and backward situation when it was first discovered.

Although it is only an island with a total area of just over 20 square kilometers, Leslie has built a complete road network on the island, and has also built a ring road along the coast, making the island extremely easy to get around.

At the same time, he also strictly divided the various areas of the island, the industrial area and the living area were completely separated, and all the buildings were specially planned. Be neat, tidy and beautiful.

Then he specially invited a group of elves to come over and re-plan the vegetation on the paradise island, so that the entire island was bathed in a patch of grass and green, whether it was looking down from the sky or standing on all parts of the island, it looked fresh and pleasant.

Xu Yi even felt that choosing to settle on a paradise island was a complete enjoyment.

And according to the information provided by Leslie, the residents of Paradise Island have not only solved the problem of food and clothing for a long time, but the average annual income of each person has exceeded 100 gold coins, and everyone has lived a good life with abundant food and clothing. It's simply not the same world compared to before.

Because of this. Although Leslie and the Stark family led by him were later rulers, they won the support of all the inhabitants of the island and had a high reputation on the island.

After Xu Yi saw the situation on Paradise Island with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the life here is now truly worthy of its name, it is like heaven.

And another meaning of his emotion is that he has worked the Sainz continent for twenty years, although it has brought great changes to the Sainz continent, such as the Duchy of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari, the lives of the people in these two countries have been greatly improved, but what is really close to his ideal state is the paradise island that only began to develop later.

Of course, Paradise Island is small in size and small in population, as long as you choose the right industry and develop it carefully, it will be much easier to change.

And because Paradise Island is so small, it has limited room for development and is very fragile.

In the unlikely event that it loses its advantage in the shipbuilding industry in the future, Paradise Island will be instantly beaten back to its original shape.

Xu is also clear about this, and Leslie is certainly even more aware of this.

So Leslie has been looking for more development space and a way out for Paradise Island, and he suddenly visited Xu Yi in person last month and asked Xu Yi to share some of his military magic machinery technology, which is also what he did.

Leslie was not willing to build only the magic ship for the new flying chamber of commerce, or tried to build the magic ship and the new magic warship on this basis.

Xu Yi agrees with his idea, but it is specific whether he supports it...... Xu Yi was very hesitant.

Obviously, if Paradise Island really has the ability to build all kinds of magic ships independently, then it can be said that it has a long-term iron rice bowl, ensuring that Paradise Island does not have to worry about running out of money in the future.

In addition, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can also have a more powerful partner, and it can also allow the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to get more supply of magic ships, which will be of great help to the development of the Demon Cloud Continent and the development of more new continents in the future.

But what Xu Yi is worried about is that Paradise Island may be able to be close to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and cooperate happily under the leadership of Leslie, and even continue to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time in the future because of the situation, but if the situation changes in the future, there is friction between Paradise Island and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, or even a direct conflict of interest, then this current partner may directly become a powerful enemy.

Personally, Xu is very willing to help Viscount Leslie, but from the perspective of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is obviously more in his interest to continue to treat Paradise Island as his foundry.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce grew, he encountered more and more of this dilemma.

At first, he was able to stick to his original philosophy without hesitation, continue to open up technology sharing, and promote the common development of all.

However, the scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has even developed into a super-large Chamber of Commerce with a total of nearly 300,000 employees, and any decision he makes will directly involve the fate of these nearly 300,000 employees, and he can no longer be willful.

"Is there a way to help Paradise Island get better development at the same time? Won't it harm the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Xu Yi frowned and thought about it.

Actually, if Leslieken accepts it. It has been a partner of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Help the new flying chamber of commerce to do all kinds of OEM, and Paradise Island can also prosper for a long time.

But Leslie's ability is strong enough and his ambition is not small, and he is certainly not willing to accept this arrangement.

He is now making this request, apparently with a more ambitious goal in mind.

Even he bluntly told Xu Yi that in order to achieve this request, he could completely open all the human and material resources in Paradise Island to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which shows how determined he is.

"But it's just the resources of a paradise island. How can it be compared to such an important technology as military magic machine technology?"

Xu Yi thought about it for a long time, but still felt embarrassed.

If you agree, I am afraid that it will be a little unfavorable for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the long run.

But if you don't agree, it will make Leslie feel bad now, and it will still be unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

How to grasp the middle degree is a difficult problem to grasp.

"Tuk Tuk—"

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Cindy, come in. Xu Yi shouted without looking back.

The door was pushed open, and Cindy walked in, and saw Xu Yi staring at the map on the wall, showing a knowing smile.

Elders often stare at maps and think about important questions. She wasn't surprised.

"What's going on?" what did those guys from the logistics department say?" Xu Yi suddenly asked.

They said that since this was the order of the elder, they would strictly follow it. Cindy replied.

"Didn't say anything else?"

"Nope. ”

"Huh. Count them as acquaintances. It's okay to complain, and it's okay to give opinions, but things have to be done, and this is the iron law of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Xu Yi said with a smile, then turned around and saw that Cindy was still holding a thick document in her hand, and said in surprise: "What is this?"

Cindy immediately handed the document to Xu Yi.

"This is an issue of the report sent back by the Southern Airship Exploration Team, please take a look at it, Lord Elder. ”

"Oh, news came back so soon?"

Xu Yi took the document and opened it, and saw a huge title in front of him.

"The Southern Continent has been confirmed!"

Xu Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly took a closer look.

This so-called Southern Airship Exploration Team is one of the other exploration teams that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has recently sent out outside the Sainz Continent after confirming the existence of the Demon Cloud Continent, and is specifically responsible for heading towards the southern part of the Sainz Continent to explore.

For the sake of efficiency and safety, these exploration teams are directly equipped with magical airships.

Although such a long-lasting endurance is not as good as that of the sea fleet, with the performance of the current magic airship, a cruise has been able to break through a long distance of 5,000 kilometers.

And if no new continent is discovered within a range of 5,000 kilometers, then there is little point in continuing to explore, because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not have so many financial and human resources to develop another continent for the time being.

To Xu Yi's surprise, less than two months after the exploration team was dispatched, there was already clear news coming back, and the first news was such a big news.

In this report, the exploration team described in detail the flight of their team to the south.

In the first month, according to Xu Yi's arrangement, they kept circling around the southern waters of the Sainz Continent to expand their exploration range as much as possible.

However, during this month, they only found the endless sea and the islands dotted on the sea.

Although some of these islands are very large, they are far from being a whole new continent.

It wasn't until the beginning of the second month that they finally discovered a continent that could not be seen at a glance on the sea more than 3,000 kilometers away from the Sainz continent.

Later, after a week of exploration, they determined that this continent was a real continent, not a relatively large island, because they flew along the coastline of the mainland for nearly a week without seeing another edge of the continent.

Upon confirmation of this, the exploration team immediately wrote an advance report on the observations made so far.

In the future, they will continue to explore the continent further and determine more detailed information.

Hui also noted a sentence in the report.

"I don't know what's going on, but the continent seems to be so hot that it's like it's summer, and after we got off the magic airship, everyone was forced to wear a single suit. If the winter here is already so hot, then by the time the summer comes, the heat is unimaginably hot, and it is not suitable for human habitation. ”

After seeing this sentence, Xu Yi couldn't help laughing.

The southern continent is not winter, but summer.

The reason why the Sainz continent has entered winter and the climate is very cold, but the weather on that continent is very simple, because that continent is basically at the other end of the equator of the planet at your feet, and the season is of course completely opposite to the Sainz continent north of the equator.

Flipping to the last page of the report, there is also a sketchy map sent back by the exploration team.

Xu Yi glanced at the map twice, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, a solution has been found. (To be continued......)
