Chapter 122: Long-term planning
Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not idle.
The development of the sea trade route between the Principality of Stantin 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 it is far from the only thing that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs to do.
It can even be said that this matter is important in Xu Yi's mind, and he can't even squeeze into the top three.
Because even if it is also developing the internal markets of the two empires, compared to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is no contradiction with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Marlo Empire, which does not have much concern 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 to purchase farmland magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Maro Empire had already made a request to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the fifth time last month to buy a large number of farmland magic machines.
In the first half of this year alone, the official orders from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Maro Empire for various types of farmland magic machinery were as high as 85,000 units, with a total amount of more than 5.7 million gold coins.
At the same time, there were also a large number of orders from the people of the Maro Empire, that is, the major nobles.
Although the total number is still far less than the huge orders of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Maro Empire for the time being, the growth rate is extremely amazing.
Before the autumn harvest last year, the orders for farmland magic machinery put forward by the major nobles of the Marlo Empire, including the Marquis of Southgate, were only more than 2,000 units, but after the spring harvest in the first half of this year, the number suddenly soared to more than 20,000 units, and the total amount suddenly exceeded 2 million gold coins.
And as the acceptance of these farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce became higher and higher within the Maro Empire, more and more nobles began to order all kinds of farmland magic machines.
According to the statistical estimates of the marketing department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, by the end of this year. This number will most likely exceed 50,000 units. The total amount is close to four million gold coins.
If that's the case. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce will sell the Farmland Magic Machinery to the Maro Empire alone, and the total amount of sales will probably exceed 10 million gold coins.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to bear part of the freight to the Maro Empire, thus increasing the cost, with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's consistently high profits, the net income from it would be at least more than four million gold coins.
In addition to the farmland magic machinery, all kinds of household magic machines are also quickly becoming popular in the Maro Empire.
Seeing that it is about to enter the summer, the orders for magic air conditioners and magic refrigerators received by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Maro Empire have totaled more than 7,000 units, 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 the farmland magic machinery. However, this is only an order from several nobles of the Marlo Empire, including the Marquis of Southgate, who are more familiar with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Judging from the various messages received by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Maro Empire Office during this time, once it really enters the summer, orders in this area will definitely skyrocket.
Coupled with all kinds of other household magic machines, the total amount of orders from the Maro Empire in this regard is estimated to be at least two million gold coins.
In this way, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only started to explore the market in the Maro Empire in the second half of the year before last, and now it is less than two years, and the income that this market has brought to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year has exceeded five million gold coins.
And this is only a small part of the market in the Maro Empire, if it is developed as maturely as the Lampari Kingdom, the benefits that this huge market brings to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are undoubtedly extremely amazing.
The reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will make different plans for the different situations of the two empires. Of course, because these two empires are the two most important countries on the continent of Sainz.
But for Xu Yi, who is determined to spread the magic industry throughout the Sainz continent, this is certainly not enough.
So in addition to a series of development plans for the two empires. Xu also attaches more importance to how to develop other countries on the mainland simultaneously.
A few years ago, thanks to the initiative of the United Kingdom of Commerce of Nozdorm, the new flying company opened a shipping route to the southern waters of the Guò Endless Sea, creating a passage connecting the countries in the southeastern corner of the continent, including the United Kingdom of Commerce of Nozdorm.
Now, a few years later, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has laid a solid foundation in the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom, and the magic industry brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has also had a significant impact on the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom and several surrounding countries.
Last year, Neval led the First Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Transport Fleet from the Duchy of Staten to the north, originally with the main purpose of exploring the sea passage to the northern seaports of the Maro Empire, but along the way, he made contact with several small countries along the way, and successfully aroused their interest in magical machines.
According to the plan, next week, Neval will lead the First Fleet of transport fleets to the port of Stratholme in the north of the Malo Empire.
This time, in addition to delivering a batch of goods to the port of Stratholme, Neval's most important task was to strengthen exchanges with the small countries along the way.
If it goes by the way, Xu Yi is willing to build several small magic industrial bases in these small countries.
In addition, in addition to this sea passage, the Kingdom of Sark has reached a private agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to open a land passage along the west coast of the Kingdom of Sark to the Chamber of Commerce of the New Flying Kingdom, so that the Chamber of Commerce of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can directly enter the coastal land west of the Kingdom of Sark through the Guò Black Rice Wasteland, and then unblock all the way to the Kingdom of Angela in the north of the Kingdom of Sark.
A sea route, combined with this land route, would make it easier for the new flyers to have direct contact with several countries in the northwestern corner of the Sainz continent.
In this way, judging from the map, the only people who are not easy to get in touch with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now are only a few countries in the east and northeast of the Sainz continent.
And this is indeed a difficult problem for Xu Yi.
Because 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 New Flying Chamber and the Candela Empire, this is obviously a very unrealistic option.
Then it is not feasible on land, so you can only consider the sea route.
However, if you take the sea route, it is almost equivalent to walking around the entire Sainz continent, and the time and other costs required will skyrocket.
And if the distance is too far, it will also cause a big obstacle for the new flying chamber to respond at any time.
Before it was difficult to solve the big problem of crossing the Candela Empire for the time being, and for the sake of longer-term consideration, Xu Yi's solution after careful consideration was to directly establish a base belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the corresponding place, which was equivalent to letting a clone go over and dealing with various affairs that were too far away from the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce nearby.
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 enough self-protection ability, and also ensure that there is a smooth connection between the main base and the sub-base, so that the sub-base can survive smoothly, develop and grow, and complete the responsibilities of the sub-base.
However, with the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is not enough to support a sub-base that is even more than 5,000 kilometers away from the main base.
So this involves a thing that Xu Yi values the most in his heart, and in his opinion, it is the most basic thing to change this continent and this world, and it is also something that must be solved 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 is also the problem that most affects his promotion of the industrialization process of the Sainz continent, which is that the infrastructure on the Sainz continent is really poor.
Of course, this can't be blamed on the continent itself, because before Xu Yi crossed over, this continent was originally only in a situation similar to the semi-feudal and semi-slave period on the earth, except for the possession of magic, which is a form of civilization that is very different from the earth, it is extremely backward in other aspects, so naturally there is no so-called infrastructure.
Now, after years of planning and the strong cooperation of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce, at least in terms of transportation, including the Kingdom of Lampari, the Duchy of Constantine, the Kingdom of Ruerson and several other small countries around it, have been greatly improved.
The first is the paving of roads, the total length of roads in the kingdom of Lampari alone has exceeded 50,000 kilometers this year, not only every city is connected by roads, but even every township is also connected by roads, which has made the road situation change dramatically.
Secondly, there is the means of transportation.
This, with the massive popularity of various passenger and cargo magic cars of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, has basically completely replaced the traditional horse-drawn carriage in these countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz continent.
Combined with the extensive paving of roads, the time required to travel between these countries has increased dramatically compared to the previous levels, and the level of comfort 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 movement very common, and it is also more convenient for these new magic industry chambers of commerce, including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which require a large number of people, to recruit.
Over the years, the countries in the southwestern corner of the continent of Sainz have each formed a magical industrial zone around several centers.
Compared to the two emerging regions of the Candela Empire, these magical industrial areas are more complete and mature in all aspects.
According to Xu Yi's plan, in the future, this continent will be full of such magical industrial areas, and the influence of the magic industry will touch the entire continent.
And the key to achieving this, in addition to transportation, there is another equally important factor, and that is communication. (To be continued......)
