Chapter 129 Urban Transit is a Benefit

The newspaper reporters in Bangta City and several surrounding cities suddenly discovered that since they went to Anweimar City and came back, President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seemed to rarely appear in front of them again.

Not only do they rarely accept interviews, but even the last press conference on the sale of cement production technology was presided over by General Manager Kennard, and he didn't even show his face.

Even after several months, Xu Yi still did not show up at the product launch conference held by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce again, and the general manager Kennard was still hosted.

And what made the reporters extremely disappointed was that in the past, every time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce held a product launch, it would announce a shocking big news outside the release of the product, so they originally heard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce held a product launch conference, and there should be big news, but Xu didn't see it, and the big news didn't even have a shadow.

Although this magic water heater released by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at the press conference deserves attention, because with this thing, you will have hot water at any time when you want to take a bath in winter, and it is not so troublesome, and it is a very good thing that is very close to the season but extremely practical.

But this new product is not released again, and at the same time, there is no big news to accompany it, which always makes these reporters feel that something is missing.

What's more, Xu Yi has been absent from important press conferences and product launches in a row, and he has not appeared in public much casually recently, and many things have been handed over to General Manager Kennard to handle, what is the reason for this?

Could it be ...... Is he going to take a back seat?

"It's, I'm not even thirty years old, I'm very young. What kind of second line?" Xu Yi shook his head at Henas on the other side, and said with a smile: "These guys have really been reporters for a long time. Oversensitive, right?"

Haynas came to Bonta City with Newman and Ankru this time, naturally not to give them a ride. Rather, he made a special trip to inspect the city of Bonta.

On the surface, he wanted to do a series of reports in the Lampari Weekly under the title "The Year in Bangta City", which was dedicated to the various changes that took place in Bangta City during the year.

Privately, it can also be regarded as accepting the commission of His Majesty the King to conduct a survey and positive publicity for the city of Bonta, paving the way for His Majesty the King to designate this place as a special economic zone of the Kingdom of Lampari in the future.

Of course, this work could not be completed in a day or two, so although Newman had already returned to the Ruerson Kingdom now, and Ankru had also returned to the Duchy of Stantin under Xu Yi's persuasion, Hainas still stayed.

Today, Henas found Xu Yi. In addition to asking Xu Yi about this issue that everyone is concerned about on behalf of his colleagues in Bangta City and several surrounding cities, it can be regarded as an exclusive interview with Xu Yi because of this series of reports.

Now seeing Xu Yi's disapproving face, Henas immediately asked: "Then why did you hand over the press conference and product launch to Kennard to preside?

Xu Yi glanced at him and asked rhetorically: "Then you sue me, why don't you go around to cover and run the news by yourself now, but leave it to the reporters under your command to do it?"

"Nonsense, so much news, can I run over?" replied as a matter of course, "Of course, I have to leave it to my subordinates to do things like this." I save that time. You can do something more important. ”

So, that's my answer. Xu Yi spread his hands. "I finally found Kennard as a great general manager, so why don't I take the opportunity to give him more things to do and help me take the pressure off. Isn't that stupid?"

Henus laughed: "That's right." But Xu Yi, compared to you, Kennard has too little news to offer. Your peers in Bunta City and the surrounding cities are disappointed that you don't show up. ”

Xu Yi smiled dumbly: "Are you guys Kwakkennard? He is the general manager of our Chamber of Commerce, and he does real work. There's no news I want to see the most. It's not a good thing to be like me and be haunted by all kinds of news all the time. ”

"That's where we stand differently from you. Haynas shrugged. continued: "Okay, don't talk about that. Let's talk about the next steps in the overall renovation of Bonta City, which you are responsible for. After this interview with you, the first installment of my series will be over, so in order for me to get off to a good start, you need to give me something appealing this time. ”

"What's so hard about that, Bonta City is full of new and attractive things right now, just say two. Xu Yi easily understood.

"Let's take an example. Heinas took out a pen and paper and prepared his posture for the record.

"Uh...... It's too much, and it's not easy to say for a while......" Xu Yimo rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "By the way, didn't you go to Sanqiton Industrial Zone yesterday to visit, I think you should be in the carriage of Filson, right?"

Haynas nodded, "Yes, indeed." Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered. Did you make any agreement with the Fillson Carriage & Horse Company? I saw several Fillson Carriage Carriages on the road going back and forth from the Sandchidon Industrial Area to Bonta City. I've even seen a few of them running around when they're not full at all, and that's not a waste. ”

"You don't understand this, do you?" Xu Yi laughed. "Sue you, this is a very novel thing, you remember. You guessed it right, our Chamber of Commerce has reached an agreement with Filson Carriage and Horse Company that every hour Fillson Carriage and Horse Company will have a carriage from Filson Carriage and Horse Company to Sanchiton Manor. At the same time, there had to be a carriage from Sanchiton Manor to Bonta City. It starts at six o'clock in the morning and ends at eight o'clock. ”

"Oh my God, that's going to ......" Haynas thought for a moment, but found that it wasn't quite clear for a while. "At least a dozen wagons need to run at the same time, right?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Xu Yi shook his head. "The distance from Sanchiton Manor to Bonta City is fifteen kilometers, and now that the road has been repaired, it is about an hour to make a trip, including the time of the stop, so theoretically only four carriages are needed. Of course, to be on the safe side, the agreement I signed with Filson Carriage & Horse was to guarantee that six carriages would run at the same time. ”

"That's an exaggeration. Did you rent these six carriages for the workers of your chamber of commerce? But I see that there seem to be people from other chambers of commerce who have also got into the carriages. Haynas wondered.

"No, I just made an agreement with Filson Che right away, but it was the City Lord's Mansion who officially signed the contract with them. Moreover, neither our Chamber of Commerce nor the City Lord's Mansion contributed even a single copper coin for these six carriages, and all the expenses were borne by the Filson Carriage and Horse Company himself. Even ......" Xu Yi smiled. "For this purpose, the Filson Chariot and Horse Shop will also hand over a thousand gold coins to the City Lord's Mansion every year. ”

"How is this possible!" immediately exclaimed Haynas. "This is to provide convenience for the workers of your Chamber of Commerce in the Sandchaton Manor and those in the Sandhiton Industrial Zone, it would be good if the Fillson Carriage and Horse Shop didn't ask the City Lord's Mansion for money, how could it be that he still had to hand over the money? Could it be that President Pompei is stupid?"

"Do you think President Pompeiy will be a fool?" said Xu Yi. "Don't worry, he's not stupid at all. I tell you, although the Filson carriage and horse company has to pay money, but the daily income of these six carriages belongs to them. According to what he told me before, the profit they made on this route last month was close to 100 gold coins. ”

"A hundred gold coins a month?" Haynas frowned. "But that's not enough. In this way, it is only more than 1,000 gold coins a year, what can they leave after handing it in?"

"This thousand gold coins are not just for this line. In fact, this thousand gold coins is the deposit of Filson Carriage and Horse Company for the entire urban public transportation system of Bonta City, which is not only not much, but in fact ridiculously small. Xu Yidao.

"Wait, the city's public transport system?" Haynas patted his head, thought for a moment, and snapped. "I remember, you seem to have mentioned this to me before, so that's it...... That is to say, after the Filson Carriage and Horse Dealer pays this thousand gold coins, all the city buses in Bonta City will be handed over to them in the future, and the Filson Carriage and Horse Dealer will be responsible?"

"Yes. According to the plan, the bus route from Bonta City to Sanchiton Manor is only the first experimental bus route, and now it has been implemented for a month without major problems, and more bus routes will be gradually rolled out. The ultimate goal is to have bus lines around Bonta City covered by road wherever roads are available. ”

"Let me do the math......" Haynas looked down and thought for a moment. "If you include a place as far away as Sanchidon Manor, it would take at least twenty bus lines, right? But I still have a problem, because there are enough people in the Sandchiton Industrial Zone, so there are so many people on this bus line, and Filson Motors and Horses can still make money on this line. But there aren't so many people in the rest of Bonta City, right? Wouldn't it be a loss for Filson to contract these bus systems?"

Xu Yi snorted lightly: "The urban public transportation system is originally a municipal welfare measure, how can it be that every one of them makes him so profitable, and if he doesn't lose money, it will be cheap." But you don't have to worry about Fillson's carriage and horse dealership, as each of the planned bus routes connects to the most crowded places. For example, the next bus line to be opened is to connect Bangta City and Orchid Herb Community. Now the orchid vanilla community has expanded several times, and thousands of people have lived in it, and this line is a short distance, but I am afraid that Filson will make a lot of money again.
