When the army of the Kingdom of Lampali powerfully defeated the strong defense line built by the Maro Empire and advanced into the interior of the Maro Empire with steps that made countless people on this continent tremble, the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing was filled with people. Another scene.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the protagonist of one of the two camps, the disturbances from the outside world and the tense wars taking place across the continent do not seem to have had much impact on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because it is the New Year period, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still decided to take a holiday more than a week ago as usual, so the main base is not as busy as usual. Even the roar of magic machine tools in various factory workshops It's also much smaller.
However, this does not mean that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has not been affected in any way.
As the protagonist of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce camp, he also provides various military magic machines to the cooperating countries to help them defeat the attacks of the two imperial camps, and even helps the Lampali Kingdom to complete its counterattack. Now it can even invade the final part of the Maro Empire. The main factor, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly played the most critical role in this war that swept the entire continent.
Not to mention anything else, just to provide the Kingdom of Lampali with enough military magic machinery and related ammunition supplies, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly built a new production base specializing in the production of military magic machinery last year. .
The new base was built at the beginning of last year, and as the situation on Sainz's continent gradually deteriorated and eventually turned into a full-scale war, this new base could be said to be under full construction in the second half of last year, and it was vigorously manufacturing various weapons all the time. Military-like magic machine.
It was precisely because of Xu Yi's foresight the year before that that the strategic partners of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, such as the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Luersun, and the United Kingdom of Nozdormu Commerce, had sufficient supplies of military magic machinery. , making them capable of withstanding the powerful attacks of the two empires on the frontal battlefield.
After Xu Yi personally set up a trap that attracted Magister Laduca and Magister Offalian, and successfully tested the newly developed all-round anti-magic field specifically for enemy magicians, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is even more... These strategic partners solve the most serious problem - the threat of magisters.
This was clearly demonstrated in the previous battle between the Lampali Kingdom and the Malo Alliance.
The Malo Empire directly killed one magister in the Battle of Grisius Mountains, and then lost two magisters in one go in the border defense battle. This was tantamount to telling everyone. Magisters are no longer the invincible representatives in people's minds, and they no longer have the powerful ability to determine the situation of the battle.
In other words, after the Lampali Kingdom killed three magisters from the Malo Empire in these two battles, everyone understood. Only the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can determine the outcome of the war.
Ordinary magicians cannot do this, not even the most powerful magician!
In order to continue to strengthen this understanding in people's minds, although the annual holidays of other departments of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will continue as usual this year, the departments related to military magic machinery are forced to work overtime during the New Year for the first time.
Of course, working overtime during the New Year is special. The Chamber of Commerce offered three times the usual wages to workers who were forced to work overtime, so all the workers who stayed and worked overtime were very happy.
Besides, wars are happening everywhere in other parts of the continent. Rather than risking the road, it is better to stay at the main base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to be the safest on the entire continent.
There are even many employees from other departments who are unwilling to leave after the holidays and directly choose to stay.
In addition, many employees brought their family members who were not in the Principality of Standing to the Principality of Standing and decided to settle here.
Xu Yi certainly welcomes this.
His biggest dissatisfaction with Sainz Continent is that due to the serious food problem, the population is extremely sparse compared to the Earth, especially the Celestial Empire, making it difficult for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to recruit enough manpower for development.
If more and more people settle in the Principality of Standing, he can use the resources of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce nearby to train a large number of suitable talents for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
In the long run, it's all beneficial.
He even wanted to grab a bunch of people right now and stuff them into a military magic machinery production base. Working hard for a large number of military magic machine orders from various countries, including the Kingdom of Lampali.
However this is unrealistic.
The power of military magic machinery is huge, and the corresponding requirements are also extremely high.
Especially the all-round anti-magic field device that is most urgently needed on the battlefield, especially for magicians, cannot tolerate any mistakes. It requires a lot of deep knowledge of magic, and at least only those who have a deep understanding of magic circles are qualified to participate. Go in.
This kind of talent cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.
Xu Yi directly grabbed a group of graduates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and worked while training, but it was not enough to meet the current large demand. Where could he find enough talents in this field for a while
Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart every time he thought of this.
Although the proportion of magicians on Sainz's continent is extremely low, if we talk about the absolute number, it must be more than one hundred thousand. Not much at all.
If half of the more than 100,000 magicians... no, even just one-third, even one-quarter or even one-fifth worked for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he would not worry about talent issues all day long.
And among these magicians. What Xu Yi felt most regretful were the three magisters who died in the previous battle with the Lampali Kingdom's army.
In Xu Yi's view, the Magister, as the magician with the deepest understanding of magic and the most powerful magic power in the Sainz continent, only needs a little training to make them have a great impact on the magic industry. promotion effect.
The fall of three magisters. For Xu Yi, it was the fall of three top talents.
When Xu Yi received this news before, he didn't say anything, but he was extremely sad in his heart.
If these three magisters did not fall in a meaningless war in Xu Yi's opinion, but came to contribute their strength to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely make the magic industry develop faster, and also make Xu Yi's The ideal can go further.
Therefore, even though the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team outside Metro City was fully capable of killing Magister Offalian and Magister Laduca, Xu Yi still took a certain risk and let them leave.
What he does is protect high-end talents like the Magister.
However... the contradiction is that Xu Yi must let the side represented by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce demonstrate a powerful ability that can eliminate the magister from the battlefield, so that others can face this point.
So eventually some magisters fell. And three of them fell at once.
Xu Yi was deeply saddened by this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Oh, it would be great if everyone could focus on development. What a pity..." Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. He smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.
"President, what's wrong? Did we do something wrong?" Lawns, the director of the Military Magic Machinery Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who was accompanying Xu Yi, saw the strange expression on Xu Yi's face and asked quickly.
"No, I just watched the military magic machines being sent out here. I thought that they would be sent to the hands of armies everywhere. They buried countless lives with my own hands. I couldn't help but feel a little emotion in my heart." Xu Yi He shook his head.
This time it was Reuns who had a very strange expression on his face.
Why did the president become sentimental all of a sudden
Could it be that the president is actually a very sensitive and slender person
How can this be…
The chaotic thoughts running through his heart did not affect the smile on Lawns' face: "Mr. President, there is nothing we can do about this. We have never thought about conquering anyone, but those guys from the two empires can't help it. Yes. If we don’t teach them a lesson, we may never have peace in the future.”
Xu Yi smiled, knowing that Genesis had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain, waved his hand and said: "It's just a temporary emotion, it won't affect my mood. Okay. The inspection here is over, you did a good job . Continue to maintain this efficiency and strive not to make any mistakes. This year is likely to be the most important year for our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even for the entire Sainz Continent, and you are actually responsible for determining the final result. of this department..."
Xu Yi patted Lawns on the shoulder hard, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "You have a lot of courage, are you confident that you can do it well?"
Lawns immediately replied boldly: "President, please rest assured! I guarantee that nothing will go wrong here!"
"Very good." Xu Yi patted Origins on the shoulder again and signaled him to go back to work. He and several other senior officials from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who accompanied him to inspect the military magic machinery manufacturing base on the first day of the new year left. .
The group returned to the conference hall of the main base office building of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. After they sat down respectively, Sebas, the financial director of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Mr. Chairman, this is the preliminary financial budget of the Chamber of Commerce for this year. Judging from the current estimated results... I'm afraid something is not good." The expression on Sebastian's face was very serious.
This expression was extremely rare on his face.
Because the financial situation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been extremely good since its establishment, the expression on Sebastian's face always looks very relaxed.
But now. The stern expression on his face made him very serious, so much so that Xu Yi couldn't help but sit up a little straighter after hearing this, and then picked up the document.
In this financial budget document about the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce for this year, Sebas listed in detail the various funds that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce may use this year, and finally came to a general conclusion.
This conclusion was indeed enough to make Sebas show such a stern expression, because according to this conclusion. According to the various plans and investments planned by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year, if there are no obvious changes or sudden gains, then the financial situation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year will be a serious deficit for the first time in history.
This deficit is even as high as between 20 million and 40 million gold coins!
In the year-end financial report at the end of last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's full-year net profit for the same period last year suddenly dropped from nearly 200 million gold coins to less than 50 million gold coins. The gap is not small.
However, this year, according to Sebastian's prediction, there will even be a deficit!
This is the first time this has happened to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in more than 20 years since its establishment, and the first time it has a deficit is not a small amount.
It's no wonder that Sebastian has such a stern expression. After all, he is the financial director of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the person who has the most direct contact with these figures.
And he also knows best what is the reason for this possible deficit.
"President, please forgive me." Seeing Xu Yi read the entire report and raised his head again, Sebas said extremely seriously: "We should immediately stop free assistance to the Lampali Kingdom and other countries. Otherwise, if this continues, In less than two years, our chamber of commerce will go bankrupt due to serious financial burdens!” (~^~)
