This public auction, which attracted the attention of countless people and eventually attracted dozens of large and small chambers of commerce in the Lampari Kingdom to gather in Bangta City, was actually just a scene performed by Xu Yi and the royal family of the kingdom.

Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could not come up with an exaggerated amount of two million gold coins, and it was indeed as everyone thought, there was no qualification to apply for a huge loan of five million gold coins from the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.

The loan of five million gold coins was actually a loan applied for by His Majesty the King in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two million gold coins used in the auction of the first mine naturally flowed back to the hands of His Majesty the King, and in the end, with the three million gold coins that could not be spent, they were directly returned to the Chimera Chamber of Commerce.

In this auction, after the settlement, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not spend a penny at all, and His Majesty the King only paid a negligible interest of 20,000 gold coins from the short-term loan of 5 million gold coins.

Compared to the 2.3 million gold coins from the sale of the second mine, this is really not worth mentioning.

Of course, according to the contract between Xu Yi and His Majesty the King, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was supposed to obtain two mines, and now although one of them finally fell into the hands of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is still one mine that has been auctioned off by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce.

However, in the plan of Severny and Xu Yi, this has already been dealt with.

It would be good if Xu Yi could buy the second mine at the right price, but when Chairman Morgan directly threw out harsh words at the auction, Xu Yi chose to give up after careful consideration.

In this case, Sevini gave Xu Yi two options.

First, according to the contract's valuation of 1.3 million gold coins for the second mine, His Majesty the King directly paid 1.3 million gold coins to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Counts as payment for the next Farmland Magic Machinery order.

The second is to choose another iron mine of comparable scale in the kingdom and give it to Xu Yi, so that it is no different from the previous contract.

However, Xu Yi told Sevigny another plan. That is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce leased a part of the land to the royal family of the kingdom, and used the rent of this part of the land as payment.

As for the land area. Xu Yi's initial request was for the size of ten Bang Ta cities.

Sevigny's answer to that was......

"President Xu, are you crazy?"

Of course, Xu Yi is not crazy, on the contrary, he is very sober.

It was precisely because he was very sober that he proposed to lease the land from the royal family, instead of wanting to get the territory directly, as before.

Because Xu also studied the history of the Lampari Kingdom for this purpose, and then found that since the founding of the country, although the royal family of the Lampari Kingdom has promoted new nobles, it has never divided even an inch of land.

It can be seen that the royal family of the Lampari Kingdom attaches great importance to the ownership of land.

Xu also did not think that he was qualified to make an exception for the royal family to give him a land parcel. So after thinking about it, it was decided to settle for the next best thing and lease the land from the royal family.

The same is a lease, but a lease from the royal family is very different from a lease from a nobleman.

First of all, the royal family is the ruler of the kingdom of Lampari, and owns more than 70% of the kingdom's territory except for the territories of various nobles.

If you lease it from the royal family, you can be more generous and ask for a large area to be leased.

And if it is leased from the nobles, even from the Stark family, which is currently the largest in the territory, it is impossible to lease an area that Xu Yi is satisfied with.

Secondly, the royal family is undoubtedly much better than those nobles in terms of stability.

If it is to lease the territory to the nobles. The nobles only need to change their minds at will, and they can guide the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to all kinds of passivity.

And the royal family, as the ruler of the kingdom, is more concerned about reputation than the nobles, and more about dà bureaus. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to change the established policy.

The reason why Xu Yi is so eager for his own territory is that the main pressure actually comes from the latter point.

Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is leasing the domain of Viscount Leslie. Although Xu Yi now has a good relationship with Viscount Leslie, and Viscount Leslie himself is also the majority shareholder of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Usually there are no problems, but Xu also doesn't expect much from the relationship.

This can be seen from the three hundred slaves that Viscount Leslie had inserted into the production workshop of the household magic machinery some time ago.

It's obvious. The three hundred slaves did not belong to Viscount Leslie, and Viscount Leslie himself seemed to be dissatisfied with the placement of these three hundred slaves, so much so that he had privately hinted that Xu Yi should not treat them as real workers, and not to give them access to all the technology in the workshop.

But no matter how unwilling Viscount Leslie was, these three hundred slaves still entered the workshop, and after more than a month of study, a large number of slaves have now mastered considerable skills.

Of course, Xu Yi knew very well that these three hundred slaves should have been planted by the Stark family behind Viscount Leslie.

And from this point, it is known that Viscount Leslie must be influenced by the family behind him.

So although he had a good relationship with Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he couldn't decide on a qiē.

So Xu also wanted to avoid uncontrolled situations, and of course wanted to have his own territory.

Even if the lease of the royal family's land is also limited by people, in any case, it is much better than the current situation.

So even if Sevigny couldn't help but reprimand Xu Yi for being crazy, Xu Yi still insisted on this request.

At Xu Yi's insistence, Sevini finally decided to report Xu Yi's plan to His Majesty the King.

As for whether Xu Yi will get his wish, Sevini does not dare to guarantee it.

The finishing touches on the auction took Xu Yi a while, and by the time he had completed all the formalities and successfully completed the work of taking over the mine in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the time had quietly not felt that it was the end of December.

The Sainz continent is also going to celebrate the New Year, and the New Year, of course, has to be a holiday.

Although there are still a lot of unfinished orders in the new flying chamber. But in any case, Xu Yi could not ask the workers to continue to work overtime during the New Year.

After consulting with Heinze, Camby and others. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce finally decided to start the holiday on December 25 and end on January 7.

December 20th. The two workshops of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were full of joy again.

Because Xu Yi's announced New Year holiday was longer than that of most chambers of commerce in Bangta City, once it was announced, it was naturally strongly supported by all workers.

What made the workers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even happier was that Xu Yi announced that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not only settle everyone's salaries during this period before the New Year, but also give no one an extra month's basic salary as a year-end bonus!

Before that, no one knew what a year-end bonus was at all!

After hearing Xu Yi personally announce the news, all the workers were almost crazy with joy!

Because according to the information announced by Xu Yi, most workers will not only be able to get last month's salary, plus this half of the month's salary. Add even a whole month's basic salary!

In this way, any worker can receive a salary of more than 30 gold coins before the Chinese New Year!

Even workers with higher wages and more overtime can receive a high salary of more than 40 gold coins, or even close to 50 gold coins!

For these workers, who may only earn a maximum of three or four gold coins per month before joining the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money!

With this money, these workers from poor families no longer have to worry about their family's livelihood every time they celebrate the New Year.

I thought that I could go home with a lot of gold coins and let my parents and wives have a particularly down-to-earth and hearty New Year. The workers' eyes when they looked at Xu Yi were suddenly full of gratitude.

At this moment, Xu Yi's image in their minds became extremely tall.

However, not all workers would be so excited, with the biggest exception being the three hundred slaves that Viscount Leslie had inserted.

Unlike the 100 slaves who had been transferred to Xu Yi's name, these 300 slaves, Viscount Leslie, had specifically explained that he could not give them any preferential treatment. So even if Xu Yi felt a little reluctant in his heart, he still couldn't pay them a salary.

Even if he wanted to send them some material compensation, he had a lot of scruples, and in the end, Xu was helpless. I could only buy some small things that might be used for the New Year and send them to them as a recognition of their work.

However, even if the total value of such a small thing was less than a gold coin, these slaves held it as if their hands were hot. If it weren't for Xu Yi's strong order to their subordinates, I'm afraid that no one would dare to accept it.

Except for these three hundred slaves. The nine magicians who were mainly responsible for drawing the magic circle were not as excited as the other workers.

First, these magicians have only been in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce for less than a month, and they still don't have any sense of identity here, so naturally they won't be as excited as those workers.

Second, after all, the magicians are much more knowledgeable than the workers, so how can they be easily impressed.

Of course, to say that you are unhappy is also false.

Although they have only worked in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for less than a month, because their work efficiency is far higher than that of those students, they have actually received a salary of more than twenty gold coins!

If it's a full month, their monthly salary will be close to or even more than thirty gold coins!

For these magicians, who are only the highest level two, this is a high salary that is enough for them to be happy with.

On this day, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not work as usual, but finished some work in the morning and cleaned up the two workshops.

At noon, we had dinner together, and after a good meal, we began to pay salaries again.

After a lot of tossing and turning, the whole day passed.

After finally taking care of the final arrangements of the workers this year, Xu Yi came to Bonta City with Heinze, Camby and other leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked them to go to the restaurant first to take up a seat, and he came to the research institute where Evita and Akali worked.
