Reporters from newspapers in Bangta City and several surrounding cities suddenly discovered that since his trip to Anvilmar City and back, President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seemed to rarely appear in front of them.
Not only are they rarely interviewed by them, but even the last press conference as important as the sale of cement production technology was actually conducted by general manager Kennard, and he did not 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, and the host was still General Manager Kennard.
Moreover, the journalists were extremely disappointed that in every previous product launch of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a shocking news would be announced in addition to the product launch, so they originally heard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would hold a product launch this time. , there should be big news, but Xu Yi didn't see it, and the big news didn't even show up.
Although the 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, without so much trouble, it is very close to the season and extremely practical nice one.
However, this new product was not released by Xu Yilai, and there was no big news accompanying it, which always made these reporters feel that something was missing.
More importantly, Xu Yi has been absent from important press conferences and product launches in a row, and he has not appeared in public recently. Many matters have been handed over to general manager Kennard. What is the reason for this
Could it be... is he planning to take a back seat
"That's nonsense. I'm not even thirty yet. I'm very young. Why should I be relegated to the second line?" Xu Yi shook his head at Heinas opposite him and said with a smile: "These guys have really been reporters for a long time. Is it too sensitive?”
Hainas came to Bangta City with Newman and Unkru this time. Naturally, he was not here to see them off, but came specifically to inspect Bangta City.
On the surface, he wanted to do a series of reports in the "Lampali Weekly" titled "This Year in Bonta City". Dedicated to reporting on the various changes that have taken place in Bonta City during this year.
Privately, it can be regarded as accepting His Majesty the King's commission to conduct an investigation and positive publicity for Bangta City, paving the way for His Majesty the King to designate this place as the Lampali Kingdom Special Economic Zone in the future.
Of course, this work cannot be completed in a day or two, so even though Newman has already returned to the Kingdom of Luersun, and Angkru also returned to the Principality of Standing under Xu Yi's persuasion, Heinas still stayed. Come down.
Today Hainas found Xu Yi. In addition to asking Xu Yi on behalf of his colleagues in Bangta City and several surrounding cities about this issue that everyone is concerned about, it is also an exclusive interview with Xu Yi for this series of reports.
Now seeing Xu Yi's disapproving look, Heinas immediately asked: "Then why did you leave the press conference and product launch to Kennard? You didn't show up at all?"
Xu Yi glanced at him and asked: "Then tell me, why don't you go everywhere to interview and run news yourself now, instead of leaving it to your reporters?"
"Nonsense. With so much news, can I run through it?" Heinas replied matter-of-factly: "Of course I have to leave things like this to my subordinates that can be done by my subordinates. I can save this time and Do something else that’s more important.”
"So, this is my answer." Xu Yi spread his hands. "I finally found an outstanding general manager like Kennard, so why don't I take the opportunity to give him more things to do and help me share the pressure? Wouldn't that be stupid?"
Hainas laughed: "That's right. But Xu Yi, compared to you, the news Kennard can provide is too little. His colleagues in Bangta City and the surrounding cities never show up to you. Very disappointed.”
Xu Yi burst into laughter: "Are you praising Kennard? He is the general manager of our chamber of commerce. He does real work. There is no news that I want to see most. If he really wants to be like me It’s not a good thing to be surrounded by all kinds of news all the time.”
"This is the difference between our positions and yours." Heinas shrugged and continued: "Okay. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the next step of the overall renovation project of Bangta City that you are responsible for. Done This exclusive interview with you will end the first issue of my series of reports, so in order for me to get off to a good start, you have to provide me with something attractive this time.”
"What's so difficult about this? Bangta City is full of new and attractive things now. Just two of them are enough." Xu Yi said easily.
"Then give me an example first." Heinas took out a pen and paper and prepared to record it.
"Uh... there are just too many. It's hard to say at the moment..." Xu Yi rubbed his chin, thought for a moment and said, "By the way, didn't you visit Sangqidun Industrial Zone yesterday? I miss you. It should be a carriage from Filson Carriage Company, right?”
Haynes nodded: "Indeed. Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered. Did your chamber of commerce reach any agreement with Filson Cars and Horses? I saw several Filson Cars and Horses on the road. The carriages kept running back and forth from Sanqidun Industrial Zone to Bangta City, and I even saw some of them running even though they were not full of people. Isn’t this a waste?”
"Don't you understand this?" Xu Yi laughed. "Let me tell you, this is a very novel thing. Remember it. You guessed it right. Our chamber of commerce has reached an agreement with Filson Cars and Horses, requiring Filson Cars and Horses to collect the goods every hour. There is a carriage going from Filson Coach House to Sankeyton Manor, and at the same time there must be a carriage going from Sankeyton Manor to Bonta City, starting at six in the morning and ending at eight o'clock."
"Oh my God, that has to be..." Heinas thought for a while, but found that he was not very clear for a while. "At least a dozen carriages need to be running at the same time, right?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Xu Yi shook his head. "The distance from Sanqidun Manor to Bangta City is fifteen kilometers. Now that the road has been repaired, the trip down, including the time for stops along the way, takes about an hour. So in theory, only four carriages are needed. It can meet the requirements. Of course, for the sake of insurance, the agreement I signed with Filson Carriage Company guarantees that six carriages will 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 saw that there seemed to be people from other chambers of commerce also getting on the carriages." Heinas asked puzzledly.
"No, I just reached an agreement with Filson Cart immediately, but it was the City Lord's Mansion that officially signed the contract with them. And neither our Chamber of Commerce nor the City Lord's Mansion paid even a single copper coin for these six carriages. All the expenses were It's all the responsibility of Feilson Car and Horse Racing Co., Ltd. Even..." Xu Yi chuckled. "Filson Carriage and Horse Racing will have to hand over one thousand gold coins to the city lord's palace every year for this."
"How is this possible!" Hainas shouted immediately. "This is to provide convenience to the workers of your Chamber of Commerce in Sanqidun Manor and those in the Sanqidun Industrial Zone. It would be nice if Philson Carriage and Horse Racing did not ask the city lord for money. How could it still have to hand over the money? Is Pompeii going to be stupid?"
"Do you think President Pompeii is a fool?" Xu Yi said with a smile. "Don't worry, he is not stupid at all. Let me tell you, although Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing Shop has to pay money, the daily income of these six carriages belongs to their carriage and horse racing shop. According to what he told me before According to the situation, last month their income from traveling on this route was close to one hundred gold coins."
"One hundred gold coins a month?" Hainas frowned. "But that's not enough. Calculating it this way, it's just over a thousand gold coins a year. What will they have left after turning it over?"
"This thousand gold coins is not just for this one line. In fact, this thousand gold coins is the deposit for Feilson Car and Horse Company to contract the entire Bangta City urban public transportation system. In my opinion, it is not only not much, but actually But it’s ridiculously few.” Xu Yidao.
"Wait, the city's public transportation system?" Heinas patted his head, thought for a while, and then let out a loud oh. "I remembered, you seemed to have mentioned this to me before, so it's like this... It means that after Feilson Vehicles and Horses Co., Ltd. paid this thousand gold coins, all city buses in Bangta City will be in the future. Will they be handed over to Filson Car and Horse Racing?"
"Yes. According to the plan, the bus line from Bangta City to Sanqiton Manor is just the first experimental bus line. It has been implemented for a month without any major problems. More bus lines will be gradually implemented in the future. Eventually The goal is to have bus lines covering all areas around Bangta City where roads are paved.”
"Let me do the math..." Heinas lowered his head and thought for a while. "If you include places as far away as Sanchidun Manor, then there will be at least twenty bus lines, right? But I still have a question, because there are enough people in Sanchidun Industrial Zone, so this Only the bus line has so many people riding on it. Filson Coach and Horse Company can still make money on this route, but there may not be so many people in other parts of Bangta City, right? Filson Coach and Horse Company also contracts these buses. Isn’t the system going to lose money?”
Xu Yi snorted softly: "The urban public transportation system is originally a municipal welfare measure. How can every one of them make him so profitable? If he doesn't lose money, it will be an advantage for him. But you don't have to take the bus for Feilson. Ma Xing is worried that each of the bus lines currently planned connects places with the largest flow of people. For example, the next bus line to be opened is to connect Bangta City and Lanxiangxianghuanjian Community. Now Lanxiangxianghuanjian Community has been expanded. It’s several times more expensive, thousands of people have lived there, and this route is short, so I’m afraid Feilson Car and Horse Racing will make a lot of money again.”
