Chapter 61: I Want to Be President

Today is the seventh day of May, and it is not a special day for the Duchy of Stantin or the entire Sainz continent, because it is neither a holiday, nor any special events happen, and there is no difference from ordinary days.

But for Xu Yi, this day was a little special.

Because...... This is the day he crossed over into this world.

Moreover, May 7 of this year is exactly 20 years since he traveled into this world.

I remember this day ten years ago, that is, when Xu Yi had just traveled to this world for ten years, Xu Yi deliberately came to a pure place by himself, calmed down and stayed alone for a while, in order to remember his years on the earth.

However, this year, after 20 years, he does not have much remembrance.

After staying in this world for a long time, when he thinks about the years on the earth, in addition to a trace of missing his relatives on the earth, in fact, he will not even have any sad and sentimental emotions at all.

Now he is a complete Sainz mainlander, with his family, his career, and his ideals here.

Even many times when he thinks about it, he feels that it is actually more meaningful and rewarding to work hard to help this world create a complete industrial system and strive to achieve comprehensive industrialization than to live a mediocre life as an ordinary researcher in an institute on the earth.

You see, now walking on the streets. Flat roads and magic locomotives that run fast on the roads are everywhere. It shows a huge shift in the way people in this world are transported.

The highways are lined with tall, sturdy buildings of more than 10 storeys or even taller. Combined with the various household magic machines in the room, it marks an equally great change in the living conditions of the people of this world.

The people walking on the street are full of energy, red faces, and extremely healthy, which shows that people have improved their diet.

As for the clothes they were wearing, they were even more colorful and varied, which was not the same as the gray-and-white clothes that Xu Yi had just seen when he crossed into this world.

It can be seen that people have also undergone a great change in clothing.

Basic necessities of life. The four basic human needs have improved dramatically over the years.

And the cause of these improvements is undoubtedly the credit of the magic industry brought by Xu Yi.

At the very least, in the countries of the Duchy of Stantin and the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, people can only praise the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and thank them for the great change they have brought to their lives.

Xu Yi was very satisfied with this, so he decided to stop his pace of moving forward a little on this special day.

"Daddy, look, it's Mommy!" shouted Freya as she suddenly pointed to the front right.

Xu Yi looked in the direction that Freya was pointing and saw a huge magical illusion. It was just the projection of Steele's figure.

"Well, it's Mom. Freya. Test you, do you know where your mother is now?" Xu Yixiao asked.

Freya nodded her chin, tilted her head in thought, and clapped her hands vigorously.

"I know, Mom went to the Lampari Kingdom three days ago, and she's Aunt Sevigny by her side, so she must be in Anvimar City now, right?"

"Yes, you're good at logic. Xu Yi praised her with a smile, and looked up at Steele, who was smiling in the magical illusion and reading a statement.

Steele did go to the Lampari Kingdom three days ago, and she went to the Lampari Kingdom this time to discuss with the Lampari Kingdom to increase the coverage of the magic illusion projection device, and strive to make it possible to see the magic illusion not only in all cities in the Lampari Kingdom, but also in all towns and villages.

Judging by the fact that she will now stand with Sevigny and read the statement, this negotiation between her and the Lampari Kingdom should go very well.

Of course, at present, the major cities in the Lampari Kingdom already have magic illusion projection devices, and they have been well received, and now the Crescent Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay out of their own pockets to increase the coverage, and the Lampari Kingdom naturally has no reason to refuse.

After all, this thing can bring a richer entertainment life to the people of the Lampari Kingdom, and at the same time, it can also allow the Lampari Kingdom to announce some upcoming policies to the people through the regular broadcast of the "News Weekly", which is far more efficient than sending official documents one by one, and then letting the city lords of each city find their own ways to publicize them.

According to what Steele said before leaving, because of the huge effect of this magical illusion projection device arranged by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, not only the Lampari Kingdom, but also many other countries are negotiating this cooperation with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.

Even the two empires have long handed out olive branches to the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, warmly welcoming the Crescent Chamber of Commerce to the two empires to inspect and invest.

The reason why the Crescent Chamber of Commerce is so sought after by various countries is that in addition to the huge publicity convenience that the magic illusion projection device can bring, there is also a very important reason, that is, countries do not need to invest in it, because the Crescent Chamber of Commerce arranges magic illusion projection devices in various cities single-handedly and does not need other investment.

This would seem foolish to many, because even if you put aside the huge cost of setting up the large magic illusion projection installations in each city, it costs a lot of money just to maintain the manpower that each city is responsible for managing and running the magic illusion projection installations.

The Crescent Chamber of Commerce did this, and in many eyes it looked like throwing gold coins into the water.

Even many people secretly speculated that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce must be behind the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to support it, otherwise it would be impossible for the Crescent Chamber of Commerce to support such a huge investment.

And as the Crescent Chamber of Commerce spreads this stall bigger and bigger, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can only continue to invest money in this bottomless pit.

But this can't be helped, who made Miss Steele, the president of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, the most cherished wife of Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, Xu Yi knew very well that these people were wrong.

investment in this area. The Crescent Chamber of Commerce not only did not lose money. Instead, it makes a lot of money.

For the vast majority of people. The mode of making money by the Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than to make a profit from the sale of goods.

A model like the Crescent Chamber of Commerce only invests a lot of manpower and materials, but it doesn't see any income at all, it's like burning money.

But they didn't know that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce actually had goods for sale, that is, all kinds of magical illusion film modules.

As the Crescent Chamber of Commerce produced more and more magical illusion films, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce's income in this area also increased.

According to Steele. In the whole of last year, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce had made more than 700,000 gold coins in this regard.

Although this number does not seem like much, the profit in this area is actually very stable, and it will get better and better with the gradual popularity of magic illusion projectors, so it is actually a very good profit point.

And this is only a small part of all the profits of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, in fact, in the whole of last year, all the profits of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce have exceeded 8.7 million gold coins.

Although compared to the terrifying profit of more than 140 million gold coins last year, this little profit is obviously not enough, but it cannot be regarded as a loss-making business in any way.

And in the profit of 8.7 million gold coins, it occupies the lion's share. It's actually advertising revenue.

That's right, it's advertising.

The Crescent Chamber of Commerce's large-scale magical illusion projection installations in each city show illusion films at a fixed time every day. But outside of the night, it's not completely idle, but keeps scrolling through ads.

These advertisements are short phantom films produced by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce in response to various chambers of commerce and organizations, as well as special personal requests, and after the broadcast, because they are also interesting and intuitive, the publicity effect is very good.

When the Crescent Chamber of Commerce first launched this advertising service, only Xu Yi, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, commissioned the Crescent Chamber of Commerce to produce several advertising illusion films to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and also paid 300,000 gold coins to the Crescent Chamber of Commerce for advertising.

Later, when other chambers of commerce saw the great effectiveness of this kind of advertising, they followed suit.

There are now as many as seventy-six chambers of commerce that have signed advertising agreements with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, covering almost every known industry.

Through these advertisements, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce made a huge profit of 6.17 million gold coins last year.

And now that Steele has signed a new promotion agreement with the Lampari Kingdom, the coverage of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce's large-scale magic illusion projection installation has been further expanded, and the income from this will naturally increase further.

Xu also believes that when the Crescent Chamber of Commerce sets up large-scale magic illusion projection installations in every city on the Sainz continent, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce's advertising revenue alone will be jaw-dropping every year.

"Dad, Mommy is so beautiful!" Freya exclaimed as she suddenly looked at Steele in the magical illusion.

Xu Yi laughed and rubbed her head: "Of course, she is your mother." But Freya isn't bad, you're pretty too. ”

Freya shook her head with a serious expression: "No, Dad, I'm just good-looking now, but I'm not pretty. ”

Xu Yiyi was stunned: "What does it mean to be good-looking but not beautiful? ”

"Of course it's different. Freya shook her head again, blonde strands of dark brown hair swaying with the swaying of her head, making her look more agile and lively.

She is fourteen years old this year, and she has developed as early as last year, and now she has completely grown into a big girl.

With the genes inherited from Steele, Freya can be said to be a little beauty who is almost impossible to pick out the blind spots, and the return rate when walking on the street is absolutely infinitely close to 100%.

However, it is strange that she now says that she is only good-looking, but not beautiful.

"Then tell me, what's different?" Xu Yi asked with some amusement.

"Hmm......" Freya tilted her head in thought again. "Mom is beautiful because of ...... It's because she has a good temperament. Well, it's temperament. Daddy, you see, Mom, she looks confident and attractive at a glance, and people can't help but listen to her, right?"

"Really?" Xu Yi looked at Steele in the magical illusion, but didn't find anything special.

Maybe it's because he and Steele are both old husbands and wives, and they can't be more familiar with each other, so they can't have too many special feelings.

However, Freya has just grown up to be a sensible girl, so she will be more sensitive to this aspect.

"I see why!" said Freya, clapping her hands vigorously and with a look of sudden realization. "Dad, Mommy's reason why she looks so drifting...... Oh no, I should say temperamental, that's because she's the president! So Dad, I'm going to be the president too!"

"Huh?" Xu Yi looked at Steele in amazement, completely incomprehensible to the magnitude of her thinking. "Why did you come up with this idea out of the blue. ”

"Because I've wanted to be a president since I was a kid!" Freya said as a matter of course. "Dad, I have thought you are very majestic since I was a child, and now when I see my mother like this, I have made up my mind, I want to be the president! Dad, didn't you ask me what I want to do in the future? Now I have decided! I want to succeed you and become the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!"

The look on Xu Yi's face was not to mention how strange it was.

He had asked Freya many times before that, and each time he could get a different answer from her.

However, today he didn't ask at all, and Freya suddenly popped up this sentence.

I hope she didn't do it on a whim...... (To be continued......)
