Chapter 64 Construction and Change
Although Dean Manan was drawn into his camp, the matter of the mage journal still needed the promotion of the imperial royal family and the high-ring mages of the empire to be implemented, and Xia Lin only played the role of providing ideas and improving the journal operation system.
After exchanging their ideas on various aspects of the journal with Dean Manan, the two decided on a journal structure with three editors-in-chief, four associate editors, and twelve editors.
At the same time, the scoring criteria for the included articles are also determined to be four areas, namely importance, innovation, rationality, and practicality, each area accounts for five points for a total of 20 points, and the rewards for the corresponding grades are provided by the royal family and the mage's guild.
After arranging the matter of the mage's journal, Xia Lin hurried to deal with the affairs accumulated during this time in other aspects, and the first place on his schedule was the construction work accumulated during this time.
After some activity, the Business Alliance held its first plenary meeting at the Vinia Opera House in the Southern District, at which 376 members of parliament from various chambers of commerce formally voted to approve all the proposals that had been proposed, and at the same time began to raise funds for the implementation of these proposals.
After this period of time, under the guidance of the banking system plan provided by Xia Lin, the business alliance has completed the construction of the commercial bank with the power of magic, and after the major shareholders have transferred the male servants trained by the family to bank tellers, the bank that has officially started operation has soon provided an extremely smooth channel for the economic exchanges of the members of the alliance.
With the guarantee of the princess, the two earls and many viscounts, the members of the business alliance no longer have to worry about the credibility problem, after depositing the gold lunt in the bank, they can use the amount in their own account to make business remittance transfers, compared to the previous use of gold lunde, not only convenient, but also much safer.
At the same time, banks have also begun to issue loans to qualified business alliance members to help them develop better and bring more benefits to the alliance as a whole.
Due to his lack of strength, Xia Lin basically did not intervene in the affairs of the bank, except for being consulted several times by the bank-holding nobles as the proposer of the bank concept.
However, in return, Her Royal Highness left him a 2% stake in the commercial bank.
The commercial banks have been officially built, and the five primary schools in the imperial capital, which are also located in the north, south, central and west, and the new district, will naturally start to start site selection and construction at the same time.
In addition, Xia Lin's previous new district development plan was also approved and implemented at the meeting, so the construction plan of the R&D center, schools, new buildings and subsequent new district roads all entered Xia Lin's schedule.
As a person with a background in road and bridge, Xia Lin wrote a lot of planning and construction drawings while compiling textbooks during this time, and asked Sharp Walter to recruit professional stonemasons to expand the scale of the construction team to speed up the progress of these projects.
Seeing that the construction team was getting bigger and bigger and the management was becoming more and more complicated, Xia Lin simply drafted a construction company plan and let Sharp Walter take the lead in establishing the First Construction Company of the Imperial Capital, which was fully controlled by the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and Sharp Walter served as the general manager and project manager of the company, owning 2% of the shares.
Subsequently, Xia Lin subdivided the manpower under the company's name and formed 15 construction teams with a scale of 20 people, and five construction teams were a construction team.
Among them, stonemasons with a certain level of education and young people from literacy classes were selected as managers, and Sharp, as the manager, also served as the captain of a brigade, and finally formalized this group of grass head army.
After things became normal, Xia Lin still had to solve a lot of problems, and the first thing was planning.
The industrial park is located on the edge of the slum and has a large amount of unowned land around it, but for the future development of the industrial park, Xia Lin still has to plan the location of each functional area in advance, so Xia Lin began to investigate.
Early in the morning, he took Sharp and the captains of the other two construction brigades to the fishtooth block outside the industrial park, and Xia Lin soon found that a lot of changes had taken place in this fishtooth territory, and the half-grown children who were playing on the street were gone, probably going to the city to sell newspapers to earn money.
Because working in the industrial park consumes a lot of physical energy, and the industrial park pays well, which strengthens the purchasing power of the workers, many smart people in this neighborhood have started to set up simple restaurants.
They built a number of new straw huts on both sides of the street, with simple small tables and large stones underneath, and a wooden sign next to the grass hut with the name and price of the food written on it.
Workers in cheesecloth vests sat on rocks and snorted around small tables plucking bowls of food, and business looked good.
At first glance, I thought it was an urban village in the previous life.
Xia Lin smelled the aroma of food in the air, and just before breakfast, he simply didn't go to the canteen in the industrial park, and pulled Sharp to find a place to sit down.
It didn't take long for a woman to greet her, she looked at the silk robe on Xia Lin's body attentively, and asked cautiously:
"Master Mage, what do you want to eat?"
"Give each of us a serving of rice, a portion of choppy soup, an omelette, and then a pan-fried whitebait and a yakiniku steak!"
Xia Lin ordered the dishes according to the name of the dish on the wooden sign, looked left and right at the surrounding furnishings, and felt that these small restaurants were just like the breakfast shops in the previous life, and they looked quite intimate, but they didn't know what the quality of the food was.
"Hmm...... It tastes pretty good! ”
After the food was served, Xia Lin tasted it and found that the taste here was actually okay, he was willing to put oil and salt, it tasted unique, and the business in the surrounding shops was also very good.
After roughly estimating their income against the price on the menu, Xia Lin was quite surprised.
According to the rate of 10 tables full of 40 people and 10 rounds of table turnover at three meals a day, such a small restaurant can earn more than 8 silver mar from the workers of the industrial park in one day, which can be said to be a huge profit.
"It seems that the development of Xinglan Industrial Park has also driven the surrounding economy, at least the residents of the adjacent Yuya Block, with the purchasing power provided by the employees of the industrial park, it is very easy to do something small!"
Xia Lin looked at this scene that was beginning to show prosperity and sighed.
"This is all the favor of the boss and Her Royal Highness, but those of them who open restaurants have to pay a lot of silver to the fish tooth every day, and the fish tooth people often come here to eat and drink for nothing!"
Sharp and his construction crew often eat here, and they look familiar with it.
Speaking of fish teeth, Xia Lin frowned slightly. Indeed, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing as a grey organization to allow the people at the bottom of the slum to make money.
When they earn less, they take away four or five copper pess a day, but when they earn more, it is good to have four or five silver mars a day and two left.
But in this way, Fishtooth's funds are abundant, and there must be more members who can support it, and the scale may have expanded, so I asked Sharp about the recent movements of Fishtooth, and sure enough, the members of Fishtooth on the street have become more and more recently.
It seems that these scabies diseases need to be resolved as soon as possible.
Xia Lin silently wrote down the incident and continued to eat breakfast. Now that he has the support of the business alliance, he doesn't pay much attention to these gray organizations.
When the time comes, find a few big chambers of commerce that operate the land trade industry to borrow their armed forces, and it will be very simple to deal with these gangsters, the key is to find a suitable time, not to make the locals feel dissatisfied.
As a person from the slums, Xia Lin is well aware of everyone's mixed feelings about gray organizations.
Although the industrial park has brought a better life to some locals, it will take some time to replace the entrenched gray organizations in the minds of everyone and truly become the ruler of the region.
