On the last day of the year 3783 in the continental calendar, the Bonta Daily published a message in a relatively prominent position on the second page.

"The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has signed a tripartite long-term cooperation agreement with the Duchy of Mirandor and the Duchy of Ruerson. According to this agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide a series of technical support to the Duchy of Milan and the Kingdom of Ruersun, and jointly build several domestic magic machinery factories in the two countries, while the Duchy of Milando and the Kingdom of Ruerson will open their domestic mineral resources to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce......"

Although many people noticed the news when they saw the Bonta Daily, on the whole, the news did not cause much of a stir in the city.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been unable to produce magic machinery in the Lampari Kingdom for more than half a year due to the ban of the Magic Industry Administration, and because of the new regulations of the Commerce Bureau, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has greatly reduced the number of magic machines sold in the Lampari Kingdom.

For the people of the entire Lampari Kingdom and even the city of Bangta, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has almost disappeared from their world for more than half a year.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still working in the product service centers set up in various cities in the Kingdom, and there are still some research institutes and a factory for the production of canned fruit in Bangta City, in the lives of most people, the only thing left by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is probably only the household magic machinery that they bought in their homes.

People are forgetful, and most of the people in the kingdom of Lampari have gradually forgotten about this chamber of commerce that has led countless trends in the kingdom.

It is probably only in Bonta City that many people occasionally think of it and have a trace of nostalgia for the new Flyer in their hearts.

President Pomberg of the Fillson Carriage Company. Perhaps one of the people who miss the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the most now.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the city lord's palace had to buy the magic locomotive produced by the Rafali Chamber of Commerce as a bus carriage. However, there is also a profit from the Bonta City urban public transport system. And the continued maintenance of the city's public transport system has been extremely helpful in enhancing the reputation of the Filson Carriage and Horse Company, so after careful consideration, President Pompeii finally did not choose to give up, but in accordance with the regulations of the City Lord's Palace, all the magic locomotives produced by the Rafali Chamber of Commerce were replaced.

However, in less than four months since all the bus changes were completed, President Pompeiy, after making a detailed count, found that not only did he not make any money in the city's public transportation system, but also made a net loss of more than 50,000 gold coins.

And before that. Although the Filson Carriage & Horse Dealership has been following the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Queen of Sevigny and the advice of Xu Yi, the bus price is extremely low, but it can still make a profit.

Although the profit is not much, there is still a hundred or twenty thousand gold coins coming in every month.

And now there is a sudden loss, the amount of loss is not small, after the statistics of the Filson Carriage and Horse Company, it was found that the reason for this result is actually all at the same point, that is, because of the quality of the Rafali brand medium-sized passenger magic locomotive.

In the last month alone, 374 Rafali medium-sized passenger magic locomotives owned by Filson Motors and Horses have suffered a total of 176 damages. An additional cost of up to 23,625 gold coins was spent on repairs.

Because of such a high frequency of damage, the entire urban bus system of Bangta City has also been greatly affected. Often, there are situations where a temporary swap is necessary.

For this reason, Filson Carriage and Horse Company paid an additional operating cost of at least 3,000 gold coins.

In addition, these damages are large and small, and even caused several accidents that were more severe.

One of the strictest was when a Rafali medium-sized passenger magic locomotive heading from Bangta City to Nancheng New District suddenly lost control completely and crashed directly into a shop next to the street.

Although no one was killed because of the speed of the car, as many as 13 people were seriously injured and 24 were lightly injured.

For this reason, Filson Carriage and Horse Company paid a total of more than 5,000 gold coins in medical and compensation expenses.

Taken together, in the last month alone, Filson spent nearly 40,000 gold dollars in additional spending on the city's public transportation system.

Aside from the profits, the net loss was even more than 20,000 gold coins.

This has been the case for several months, and President Pomberg has always felt that the city's public transport system is a burden to Filson's car and horse company.

However, maintaining the city's public transport system would not only enhance the reputation of Filson's carriage and horses in the city of Bonta City, but also gain a certain policy tilt from the city lord's office, so that despite the obvious loss of money, President Pompeiy has not made up his mind to give up, and has been struggling to maintain it.

However, a few days ago, a new regulation of the City Lord's Mansion was introduced, which forced him to make up his mind.

In this urban public transport system, Filson is unable to hold on.

The simple nature of the regulation is to announce that starting tomorrow, the special subsidy for the city's public transport system will be abolished.

The reason given by the city lord's office is very reasonable, saying that this is to promote a level playing field of business competition in Bang Ta City, and no special financial subsidies can be given to a certain chamber of commerce.

But how could President Pombéry not know that it was all because the City Lord's Mansion was unwilling to continue to pay for it.

The reason why this regulation was not amended this year is entirely because this year's financial subsidy for the city's public transport system was already issued at the beginning of the year by Her Royal Highness Sevigny, who was still the mayor of Bonta City at the time.

If they change it directly this year, it will undoubtedly be a great disrespect to Her Royal Highness the Queen of Severny.

And in the new year, the City Lord's Mansion will change certain policies, and that is a matter of course, even Her Royal Highness the Princess of Severny will not be able to blame.

Obviously, President Pombéry did not have any qualifications to criticize the City Lord's Mansion, so he could only accept it silently.

And after a few days of deliberation and precise calculations, President Pombéry realized that if the special financial subsidy of the city lord's palace was lost. Filson Motors & Horses is a net loss on the city's public transport system alone every year. It will be more than 200,000 gold coins. Even close to 300,000 gold coins.

If it was in the previous two years, the annual profit of the Filson Carriage and Horse Shop exceeded one million gold coins, then for the sake of reputation and the support of the City Lord's Mansion, it could barely bear this loss.

But now the city lord's mansion has made it clear that it will not support the Filson Carriage and Horse Dealer, and because the ten chambers of commerce have pushed the freight to a very low price, the profit of the Filson Carriage and Horse Shop has dropped significantly, and when the settlement is made at the end of this year, the total profit for the whole year has not even exceeded 500,000 gold coins.

Not to mention having this profit. It also includes the high profits in the first half of the year.

If you only count the second half of the year, the total profit is only less than 200,000 gold coins.

In this case, Filson could no longer afford the huge losses caused by the city's public transport system.

In desperation, even if President Pombéry did not want to live up to the expectations that Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny and President Xu had expected of him, he had to announce that he had to give up.

As a result, the news published by the same "Bangta Daily" on the last day of the new year 3783 in the mainland had to be relegated to the second page of the report about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which used to occupy the front page as long as it was related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Because the news published on the front page was a powerful news published by Filson's daily newspaper Bonta Daily.

Filson Motors and Horses announced that starting next year, Filson Motors and Horses will fully withdraw from the urban public transportation system of Bonta City!

Just a morning in the morning. The news spread throughout the city of Bonta.

Everyone who received this message was stunned.

Filson Motors and Horses withdrew from the city's public transportation system, does it mean that there will be no bus magic locomotives to ride in the future?

But the people of Bangta City have long been accustomed to taking this convenient and fast city bus magic locomotive to get anywhere they want to go. Now it's suddenly gone, what should I do if I want to go out in the future?

Rich people are fine, most of them have bought magic cars from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce before, but what about those who can't afford to buy magic cars?

The people of Bonta City had been accustomed to the city's public transport system for nearly two years, and suddenly it was gone, and a group of people were a little dazed.

After the confusion, many people became angry again.

At the beginning, it was only with the support of Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny and President Xu that it was able to single-handedly take over the city bus system of Bonta City, and now it has made enough money, and it actually wants to quit while Her Royal Highness Queen Sevigny and President Xu have left Bonta City?

What did he do to the people of Bonta City!

But after a little calm, people thought about a very important question.

Why did Filson withdraw from the city's public transport system?

For businessmen, making money is, of course, the top priority.

If there is money to be made by running a city bus system, then even if someone puts a knife on the neck of President Pompeiy, he will not announce his withdrawal.

Because of this question, people began to re-watch the report on the incident in the daily newspaper Bonta.

Although the description of this incident in the daily newspaper Bonta is not too detailed, it points out two key points, one is the abolition of the special financial subsidy for the city's public transport system by the city lord's government, and the other is the monopoly of the Rafali Chamber of Commerce on the magic locomotive of the city's public transport.

As long as you see these two key points and think about it a little, you will roughly understand the problem.

Obviously, this is another protection of the City Lord's Mansion to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, as well as the oppression of Filson's carriage and horse shop, which was closely related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before.

Thinking of the various messy things done by the City Lord's Mansion against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the second half of the year, as well as the actions of the ten chambers of commerce, comparing the previous appearance of Her Royal Highness Queen Sevini as the city lord and the appearance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce when it was still in Bangta City, the people of Bangta City suddenly had a stronger resentment in their hearts.

On the last day of the year 3873 in the continental calendar, Bangta City appeared to be calm on the surface.

But on this day of the New Year, there is no joy in the city of Bangta, but there is an undercurrent hidden beneath the calm surface. (To be continued......)
