The year 3783 in the continental calendar seems to have passed particularly fast for the people of the Lampari Kingdom.

In the eyes of the people of Bonta City, it was more like a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of the year, His Royal Highness Prince Eric led the Zhenbei Army to crusade against the Kingdom of Sark, and won many victories, and then His Majesty King Lampari XIII died of serious illness, and His Royal Highness Prince Eric suddenly changed from His Royal Highness the Prince to His Royal Highness the King.

With the accession of His Royal Highness Prince Eric to the throne, Her Royal Highness Princess Severny is no longer the Lord of Bonta City.

The new lord didn't bring much change to the city at first, and for a time the people of the city thought that the city would continue to develop like this.

However, it turns out that most people are overthinking.

As the summer season begins, the city of Bonta immediately begins a series of dizzying changes.

First of all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced that in order to respond to the call of the Kingdom Magic Industry Administration and promote the development of the magic industry in the Lampari Kingdom, it decided to transfer a series of magical machinery-related technologies it has mastered to the Chamber of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.

This transfer is different from the previous technology transfer sales of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

According to the disclosure of the "Bonta Daily", when transferring the technology to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only charged a symbolic technology transfer fee, and if the manpower and material resources invested by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to carry out the technology transfer smoothly after the combination were combined, it was almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Although the Bonta Daily did not say it explicitly, anyone with a brain can see that such technology transfer is by no means normal. It is clear that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is under pressure from the Magic Industry Administration. Or to put it directly under pressure from His Majesty King Eric. Forced to agree.

A week after the report was published in the daily Bonta newspaper, Naxi, the editor-in-chief of the daily Bonta newspaper, announced his resignation and left the daily newspaper, which seemed to confirm this speculation.

Less than half a month after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the technology transfer, dozens of large and small chambers of commerce in Bangta City were added overnight.

Ten of these new chambers of commerce were the ones designated by the Magical Industry Administration in the list previously announced.

As for the remaining unknown small chambers of commerce, they naturally have more or less unclear relationships with these ten chambers of commerce.

The initial appearance of these chambers of commerce had little impact on the city of Bonta City. However, when the hot summer passed and the cold autumn wind blew into Bangta City, people up and down Bangta City began to feel the various obvious or non-obvious changes brought about by these chambers of commerce, or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Fuller Morgan, president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, has been upset lately.

The end of the year is approaching, which means that the year-end statistics that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce conducts every year are getting closer and closer.

Prior to this, President Morgan had never been bothered by this matter, because the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was mainly engaged in the iron ore business, which had always been extremely stable and rarely fluctuated. He, the president, only needs to verify the number of his subordinates, and he can easily complete this work.

This year, however, is different.

Or rather. Since three years ago, it has been a little different.

Three years ago, because of the creation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the magic industry in Bonta City and even the entire Lampari Kingdom was driven, because people's demand for magic machinery was getting higher and higher, and the demand for iron was naturally higher and higher.

Under this huge demand, the iron ore sales of the Falcau Chamber of Commerce can be said to have skyrocketed every year, and the iron ore sales of last year alone are almost equivalent to the total sales of the five years before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce appeared.

And because of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce steelmaking plant, all kinds of steel with different characteristics quickly replaced the ordinary cast iron that everyone used before, and a large part of the iron ore produced by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to refine steel, and only the remaining part will be sold to others for ordinary cast iron.

Although Xu Yi had reached an agreement with Duke Joseph in private, as the demand increased, the price of iron ore purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Falcao Chamber of Commerce inevitably became higher and higher.

In just the past year, the net profit achieved by the sale of the iron ore mine by the Falcau Chamber of Commerce to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce reached an extremely considerable four million gold coins.

Originally, according to President Morgan's estimate, with the expansion of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year, the establishment of production bases and the commissioning of various factories in various parts of the kingdom, the demand for iron ore by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must have increased significantly again, so the net profit of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce alone this year may exceed five million gold coins.

At first, people are not as good as heaven, and President Morgan never expected that His Majesty King Lampari XIII died suddenly this year, and the shape of Bangta City suddenly underwent drastic changes.

Among the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magical Industry Administration, one of the Rockefeller chambers of commerce received some of the steel smelting technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and in just two months, with the assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, five steelmaking plants were built in one go.

Compared with the two steelmaking plants of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the five steelmaking plants of the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce are larger and have higher production capacity, and the crude steel smelted in one month is even more than three times that of the previous month of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

With so much steel smelted, there is naturally a lot of demand for pig iron.

It stands to reason that President Morgan, who is the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, should be happy about the increase in pig iron sales, but he is not happy at all, but is extremely upset.

The reason is simple, the purchase price given by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is too low.

The price of iron ore sold by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has already been discounted because Xu Yi and Yueshi have agreed together, and it has just exceeded ten gold coins a ton this year.

However, the purchase price of pig iron proposed by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce to the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was cut in half at once, and it was only a ton of hardware!

This price is even lower than the price at which the Falcau Chamber of Commerce sold iron ore before the new flyer appeared!

President Morgan, however, has no choice. The Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce needs. He had to sell.

As for the reason, of course, it is because behind this Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is the arrogant aristocracy of the kingdom -- the Stark family. There is even the shadow of King Eric's majesty.

Even the Duke of Joseph could not compete with this force.

In response to this situation, Duke Joseph had already instructed President Morgan more than a month ago to sell it to the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce for one ton of hardware.

Because of this low price, President Morgan is well aware that the results of this year's year-end statistics will be ugly.

However, Duke Joseph could not do anything about it, and he was naturally powerless.

The only thing he could do. is scolding Xu Yi from the bottom of his heart.

"This idiot! Why do you have to transfer steelmaking technology too? Now, the price of steel produced by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce per ton is a full ten gold coins lower than that of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it will be interesting to see how the steelmaking plant of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can continue!"

However, scolding and scolding, thinking of Xu Yi, even President Morgan, who was unpleasant to Xu Yi at first, couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion and longing.

"Where the hell has this guy gone? Does he really want to give up this great inheritance in Bonta City?"

President Pombéry of the Fillson Carriage Company was more upset than President Morgan.

President Morgan is just worried that the profit of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce this year will decline compared to last year, but President Pomberg is upset that this year's Filson Carriage and Horse Dealer will lose money!

Originally, after cooperating with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to focus on public transportation and long-distance freight transportation, Filson's profits have been growing rapidly.

Just last month. Putting aside all expenses, the net profit of Filson Carriage and Horse Shop has exceeded 200,000 gold coins.

If this trend continues. The total profit of Filson Motors and Horses this year will most likely exceed last year's two million gold coins, and even touch the three million gold coins mark.

But this qiē, after an order from the City Lord's Mansion, instantly came to naught.

The content of this order is simple, specifically, in order to strengthen the management of the city of Bangta, the city lord's palace will incorporate the public transportation system in the city of Bang Ta into the management of the city lord's office.

At first glance, this order seemed to be fine, but in practice, there was one that made President Pompery extremely angry.

According to the regulations of the City Lord's Office, since the public transportation system is under the management of the City Lord's Office, there must be certain normative standards.

Of course, there is no problem with this statement, but the problem is that the standard mentioned by the City Lord's Mansion stipulates that the public transportation system of Bangta City, which is currently operated by Filson Motors, must be fully rectified, and all the magic locomotives under the name of Filson Motors and Horses that are being used to participate in the public transportation system must be replaced with magic locomotives designated by the City Lord's Government.

As for the magic locomotive designated by the City Lord's Mansion...... Certainly not a new flying card.

Among the ten chambers designated by the Magical Industry Administration to accept the technology transfer of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is a Rafali Chamber of Commerce, which has fully accepted part of the magic locomotive production and casting technology transferred by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

With the help of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Rafali Chamber of Commerce built the first Rafali medium-sized passenger magic locomotive in just two months.

At first, the president of Pompeiy was a little curious, since the Rafali Chamber of Commerce had accepted the technology related to magic locomotives, why the first thing to build was a medium-sized magic bus, but not the magic car that was supposed to be the most profitable.

But when this order from the City Lord's Mansion appeared, he immediately came to his senses.

The Rafali Chamber of Commerce had already colluded with the City Lord's Mansion and had already been prepared!

But knowing is knowing, and President Pompery could do nothing about it.

In the face of the orders issued by the Lord of Bonta City, which represents the will of King Eric, what can he do to resist?

Staring at the evaluation and analysis report in his hand on the full replacement of the Rafali magic locomotive, which he had calculated over several days, a cold sweat broke out on Pompeiy's forehead.

If he obeyed the orders of the city lord's mansion, Filson would have to invest a minimum of more than two million gold coins in preparation.

Moreover, according to the requirements of the City Lord's Office, Filson Carriage and Horse Dealers must also pay a deposit of 500,000 gold coins to the City Lord's Mansion every year because of the contract for the urban bus system of Bangta City.

In this way, not only will it definitely lose money this year, but even if you want to recover the initial investment from it in the future, I am afraid it is impossible to do so.

After a while, President Pombéry suddenly threw the evaluation analysis report on the table and shouted angrily.

"Fuck! Since I can't do it, then I won't do it!" (To be continued......)
