Chapter 4: Scaling up
Everyone was stunned.
"What does that mean?" asked President Morgan again.
"It's simple. For example, consider President Morgan of your chamber of commerce. Do you think that the work in your mine can be done by just one person?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.
President Morgan immediately shook his head: "Of course not. Although some of the work in the mine is just simple physical work, a lot of the work is still quite dangerous, and if you don't teach them first, there will definitely be problems. ā
"That's right. Let me give you another example, everyone is already familiar with magic locomotives by now, right?" Xu Yi asked again.
Everyone was smiling.
The magic locomotive has been launched for half a year, although it is not a long time, but because the magic locomotive has extremely significant and huge advantages in terms of speed, loading capacity and cost savings compared to horse-drawn cars, all the chambers of commerce in Bangta City have fully realized the benefits of magic locomotives and have now fully accepted the use of magic locomotives instead of horse-drawn carriages.
If it weren't for the fact that the production capacity of the magic locomotive production workshop of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could not keep up, then there would be almost no horse-drawn carriages in Bangta City now, and all of them would have been replaced by magic locomotives.
"Magic locomotives require a driver's license, or to put it more specifically, they need to have certain driving skills to drive. And even after obtaining a driver's license, if you want to become a skilled driver, it will also take time to become proficient in driving. So again, it's not a job that just a few people can do. Xu Yi continued.
"President Xu, I see what you mean. President Vincent took over. "You mean...... Although Bonta City will have more immigrants this year, there are not many of them that can be really useful, and it doesn't really mean anything to us chambers of commerce?"
That's pretty much what it means, but it's not right to say that it doesn't make sense at all. Xu Yi said with a smile. "For example, some simple jobs that don't require much technical content. It can be left to these new immigrants to do it. And I have just consulted with Her Royal Highness. It is intended to vigorously promote the vocational skills training system in Bonta City. Aim for everyone in Bonta City to master one or more vocational skills. This is not only good for these people, but also good for us in Bangta City. ā
"Vocational skills training?" the representatives of the presidents of the various chambers of commerce present looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Your Royal Highness, how do you plan to implement this vocational skills training system?" asked President Lanke, turning to Sevigny.
Sevini smiled slightly: "Initially, I plan to build a large-scale vocational skills training academy outside the city in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, and all of your major chambers of commerce can set up a training point in this academy to train the vocational skills that your chamber of commerce needs." ā
"And what about the trainees?" President Morgan immediately asked. "In case we put in the effort to train people. But he wants to go to another chamber of commerce, so won't we lose money?"
"If you can't get people into your own chamber of commerce during the training process, that's a kind of failure, right?" asked Sevigny with a smile.
President Morgan was slightly stunned, laughed dryly, and stopped talking.
"In addition to vocational skills training, the City Lord's Mansion will also introduce a more detailed and comprehensive vocational skill level assessment. As for the evaluation criteria, for the time being, it will be based on the vocational skill level assessment related to magic machinery launched by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the specific evaluation standards also need to be negotiated by everyone here. Sevini added.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Yi again, of course they knew it. This mention must have been proposed by Xu Yi.
However, in the eyes of everyone, this mention is very necessary.
There is a detailed and clear grading standard. In the future, when the major chambers of commerce recruit corresponding workers, they will save a lot of effort, so that they will not spend a lot of time and energy on retraining after recruiting people.
In connection with the implementation of the vocational skills training system that Severny just mentioned, it can be seen that the combination of the two will be very helpful to the major chambers of commerce in the city.
So after a little thought, everyone expressed their approval of these two proposals.
Next, Severny announced some of the commercial development plans in Bangta City that the City Lord's Mansion had determined for this year, and after a general discussion with everyone, the meeting was over.
Although the plans announced at this meeting were only some general plans and few specific plans were revealed, for the large and small chambers of commerce in the city, this was some very useful information, so that they could make adjustments and responses to the plans of the city lord's mansion this year.
In general, Sevigny, the lord of the city who took over as the Earl of Stark, maintained a positive and supportive attitude towards the commercial development of Bonta City.
This alone was enough to reassure everyone, so after the meeting, when they left the City Lord's Mansion, everyone had a sincere smile on their faces.
"Everyone, why don't you take this opportunity to find a place to get together, and everyone can continue to talk, what do you think?" As soon as he left the City Lord's Mansion, President Lan Ke suddenly said.
Everyone stopped, looked at each other, laughed in unison, and immediately agreed with President Ranke's suggestion.
So a group of people flocked to a restaurant under the name of the newly built Saranke Chamber of Commerce in the new city outside the city, and enclosed the entire restaurant.
A group of chamber of commerce presidents gathered on behalf of the party, and the theme was certainly not eating.
After taking their respective seats, everyone found their own target and began to talk eagerly.
There are many people who want to find Xu Yi as soon as possible, but Xu Yi found President Lanke as soon as possible.
"President Ranko, I have a new mention for the channel you mentioned last time to sell things to the Sark Kingdom. ā
As soon as Xu Yigang spoke, President Lanke was stunned.
He did mention this to Xu Yi before, but Xu Yi didn't care about it at the time, he thought Xu Yi was not interested, so he didn't mention it again.
Unexpectedly, now Xu Yi not only took the initiative to mention this, but also said that he had a new mention yƬ?
Could it be that he has no new channel for the Sark Kingdom?
"I did get a little bit of a new channel, and the key point was in Sewell. Xu Yi nodded.
"Thurwell City?" President Ranko was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering the time he had taken a year ago. Xu Yi went to the city of Thurwell.
The city of Sevel was originally one of the cities in the north of the kingdom closest to the border of the Kingdom of Sark. Xu also found some sales channels to open up the Kingdom of Sark there. It doesn't seem surprising either.
"Okay, what's new for you?"
A slightly strange smile appeared on Xu Yi's face: "President Lanke, I would like to ask, what is the scale of the goods that your Chamber of Commerce sells to the Sark Kingdom through this channel every year?"
President Lanke frowned slightly, and wanted to say that this is a trade secret of the Saranke Chamber of Commerce, how can he sue you lightly.
But seeing the strange expression on Xu Yi's face, President Lan Ke thought about it. Ying said: "In a year, it will be about the scale of 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins, which is not much, it can only be regarded as one more way." ā
Xu Yi nodded, not surprised, the smile on his face became stronger.
"So President Ranko, have you ever thought about making this larger......? Two million to three million gold coins a year?"
President Lanke looked at Xu Yi in amazement, staring at the slightly strange smile on his face for a while, and his heart moved.
"What, President Xu, do you have anything to mention?"
Xu Yi smiled. Approaching President Ranko, they began to talk in a low voice.
After a while. President Ranko left with a look of disbelief and surprise in charge, and the vice president of the United Chamber of Commerce of Ireland, who had been waiting for him, immediately rushed over.
"President Xu......" Kavacs had an extremely exaggerated, flattering smile on his face. "Can I say a few words to you?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly and looked at him calmly.
Xu Yi has always had the impression that this Kavacs is very treacherous, so he has never liked it very much.
If it weren't for the fact that he was Freeman's most capable assistant, Xu Yi wouldn't have wanted to see him at all.
Kavacs was obviously very clear about Xu Yi's attitude towards him, and seeing Xu Yi's cold reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and after laughing dryly, he continued: "President Xu, I came to you today mainly to discuss two things with you. ā
"Well, let's talk about it. Xu also responded indifferently.
"This ...... The first thing is...... Our chamber of commerce received a lot of orders from other cities some time ago. Of course, it's all about all sorts of magical mechanical parts. Kawakis said.
"That's a good thing. Xu Yi nodded. "I have always said to Ferriman that I hope that your Irish United Chamber of Commerce will be able to move out of Bonta City, and preferably to promote the parts you produce to every part of the Lampari Kingdom. Now there are out-of-town cities that have come to place orders with you, proving that you are doing a good job. ā
"Thank you, President Xu, for your support. Kavacs nodded again and again, paused, but his face showed a look of embarrassment. "However, because of these orders, our chamber of commerce also encountered a problem......
Xu Yi glanced at him: "What? Are you worried that you can't cope with it?"
Kavacs was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Hmm...... Yes. With the current production capacity of our Chamber of Commerce, it is currently very difficult to complete the orders of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and we are not able to cope with more orders......"
"You just said that you have already received a lot of orders from other cities?" Xu Yi interrupted him.
Kavacs hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly: "Yes...... But President Xu, don't worry, we will definitely give priority to completing your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's orders. And definitely with the best materials, the best workers!"
"I'm not worried about that. Xu Yi shook his head. "But listening to what you mean, after completing this batch of orders from our Chamber of Commerce, do you seem to have any new ideas?"
Kawacs laughed dryly, turned his head from side to side, and then said to Xu Yi with an embarrassed face: "This...... President Xu, we have finally received a lot of orders from other cities in the Kingdom, so we really want to seize this opportunity to promote our Chamber of Commerce to the entire Lampari Kingdom. Didn't you keep telling us that you want the magic industry to take root in more parts of the kingdom, and that if the parts produced by our chamber of commerce are sold elsewhere, it will definitely be very helpful to you, and ......"
"Let's just say it, are you planning to stop the supply of parts to our Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi interrupted him again. (To be continued......)
