Xu Yi didn't explain many things to Yanis, mainly about the design institute.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now producing more and more magic machines, and each product has begun to be divided into different models.
For example, for the first time, there are models of bicycles, which are divided into men's models and women's models. In the next time, adult models and children's models will be launched, and each category will be continued. Divided into luxury version, fashion version, simple version and so on.
In terms of household magic machinery, Xu also plans to divide it into multiple models.
For example, magic air conditioners currently have two types: single cooling magic air conditioners and cooling and heating magic air conditioners. When they were first launched, Xu Yi only identified these two categories. But now as the Magic Research Institute deepens its research on the magic array of magic air conditioners, The power of cooling and heating can already be adjusted, so Xu Yi planned to divide it into different powers according to the specifications of air conditioners on earth, corresponding to different needs.
The same division will be applied to various other household magic machines, so this will cause a problem.
Since they are different models of products, if they still use the same appearance, it will seem too monotonous.
According to the habits on earth, different products naturally use different appearances, not only to better distinguish different models, but also to give people more visual experience.
As a result, Yanis and Vivian, who are currently responsible for designing the appearance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, are somewhat insufficient.
Vivian is still studying at Baron Rictor's Magic Academy. In fact, she doesn't have enough time to work, which means that most of the product design work is concentrated on Agnes.
Even if the elves are full of energy. But Yanis' time is always limited. So Xu Yi found Yanis. He just hopes that she can help him find a few more elves from the Yege tribe who also have appearance design talents to join the design institute to assist Yanis in completing the appearance design work.
Upon hearing Xu Yi's instructions, Yanis's face suddenly became happy.
"President, even if you don't say it, I want to prepare to ask you this question." Yanis said: "I already feel that my time is not enough. In addition to appearance design, I also have to be responsible for black rice. The greening renovation on the wasteland is really busy. ”
"Well, that's why I thought of finding someone to help you share the work." Xu Yi nodded. "Since you are here today, I will inform you in advance. Yanis, in view of your good work performance in the past, I will now appoint you as the president of the Design Institute as the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, responsible for presiding over the design institute. all the work.”
"Huh?" Yanis was startled. "You want me to be the dean? This... I'm afraid this won't work, right? President, I don't know anything..."
"As long as you know how to design." Xu Yi said with a smile. "This time, I will leave it all to you to recruit people for the design institute. So whether you can find a designer who can help you depends on your own efforts."
Yanis thought about it for a while, but she didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then I'll try my best."
"That's right." Xu Yi thought for a moment. Then he asked: "By the way, I suddenly remembered a question that I had forgotten to ask. Ordinarily, the Kingdom of Lampali is much larger than the Principality of Standing. So it makes no sense that there is a Moon Shadow Tribe with more than 3,000 elves in the Principality of Standing. There are only a thousand elves from your Yege tribe in the Lampali Kingdom, right? From common sense, there should be other elven tribes in the kingdom."
Yanis thought for a while and shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure. Because I have rarely left the Forest of Falling Rain since I was a child, and I have never heard the elders in the tribe mention this."
"Well, I'd better ask Elder Elusia about this question later."
After Xu Yi told Yanis a few more general requirements for the design institute's recruitment, he asked Yanis to leave the study, and he went to a wall in the study where a huge map hung.
This map was different from the map he had hung in the factory office before. In addition to drawing the map of the Lampali Kingdom, it also included maps of several countries surrounding the Lampali Kingdom.
For example, the Principality of Standing that Xu Yi has been to, the Kingdom of Sac, which has been at war with the Kingdom of Lampali in the north, and the Kingdom of Luersun, which Xu Yi is planning to invest heavily in.
After Xu Yi's eyes swept around the map, he finally landed on the Principality of Drak in the upper right corner of the map, which shared the same border with the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampali.
Judging from what is shown on the map, the area of the Principality of Drake is smaller than that of the Principality of Standing.
However, the Principality of Standing has special terrain and extremely remote location. Therefore, in comparison, even though the Principality of Drake is smaller, its location is actually more important.
For the Lampali Kingdom and the Sark Kingdom, this area is only less than one-fifth of the size of the kingdom, but it is extremely important.
If either party can get the support of the Duke of Drake, it will definitely gain an absolute upper hand in the confrontation between the two parties. Even if the other party is directly eliminated, it is not completely impossible.
"If we can win over the Principality of Drak, then with this huge advantage, Sevini will receive more support than His Royal Highness Prince Eric, right?"
Xu Yi clicked on Bangta City on the map, and then drew a straight line to the Duke of Drake in the upper right corner. After a rough estimate, he found that the distance was at least more than 700 kilometers.
Of course, this distance is nothing on earth, but on the Sainz continent, where transportation is not developed, it is a distance that can be regarded as almost unreachable.
It is indeed unrealistic for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to go so far in one step and radiate its influence to the Principality of Drake, which is 700 kilometers away.
After making some calculations in his mind, Xu Yi clicked on a few more points on the map.
The cities represented by these points are all on the straight line from Bangta City to the Principality of Drake. If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can develop step by step and first develop in these cities, and then advance step by step, it is very likely that it will eventually enter Germany. The Principality of Lac.
"In the final analysis, it is a bit unrealistic to want to develop in other countries before the foundation of the Lampali Kingdom has been laid."
Xu Yi sighed, and his eyes finally fell on the city of Anvilmar on the map.
"It would be great if Sevigny inherited the throne now. With her support for the magic industry, our development in the Lampali Kingdom will be much faster. It will also save me the headache of how to travel to other countries every day. Lay the foundation.”
It's a pity that Xu Yi is not good at this aspect, and it can be said that he is almost powerless.
Even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed very well now, it is not enough to intervene in the political situation of the Lampali Kingdom.
"The only thing we can do now is to let the new city lord know the taste of failure."
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the pained expression on Earl Stark's face just now when he agreed that the city lord's palace would bear the cost of three thousand farm magic machines.
In the past two years, with the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the development of Bangta City has been driven, and the tax revenue of Bangta City has increased significantly. Last year, even after paying its due share to the kingdom's finance, I was able to make a balance. A huge sum of over one million gold coins.
This money is already very considerable for the small city of Bangta City, but under Xu Yi's suggestion, Earl Satsuma used all the money to improve the municipal construction of Bangta City and long-term planning for Bangta City. superior.
In actual terms, when Count Satsuma was still serving as the city lord, although Bangta City had a lot of financial revenue, the money spent was only more.
When Earl Satsuma resigned as the city lord, if the accounts were calculated clearly, the city lord's mansion did not even have a copper coin balance. It even owed a large amount of money to many chambers of commerce in the city because various projects were started at the same time.
Taking the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as an example, the City Lord's Mansion is still in arrears with up to 170,000 gold coins.
And if we take the Amri Chamber of Commerce, which undertakes the most projects, as an example, according to what Chairman Cruise and the Chamber of Commerce told Xu Yi, the amount owed by the City Lord's Mansion is as high as 780,000 gold coins.
If all the money owed by the City Lord's Mansion were added up, Xu Yi estimated that it would at least exceed 1.5 million gold coins.
If Bangta City continues to develop at the same pace as before, in fact, although these debts may seem large, they can be paid off in just a few years.
However, it was Earl Stark who took over the position of city lord with other purposes. In order to reflect his political views and the stubborn conservatives he represented and the will of the Stark family, he had just taken over as city lord less than two months ago. time, they first forced the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to leave, and then implemented the policy of suppressing business and promoting agriculture, which caused all the chambers of commerce in Bangta City to evacuate Bangta City directly.
The reason why Bangta City had such high tax revenue in the past two years was that industrial and commercial taxes accounted for most of it.
Now that most of the tax revenue has been lost, how can the city lord's mansion have the money to meet this huge expenditure.
Although the total price of three thousand farmland magic machines is only 200,000 gold coins, which is not much, the current city lord's mansion may not even be able to get 20,000 gold coins, let alone 200,000 gold coins.
And because this is the city lord's own decision, no matter how much Earl Stark wants to target the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he will never say anything to let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce bear the cost, because this is no different from robbery.
Xu Yi was well aware of this situation, but when Earl Stark asked the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide three thousand farmland magic machines, he still agreed without blinking an eye.
In fact, in comparison, he would rather Earl Stark said that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would provide it for free.
But it's a pity that Earl Stark is not stupid enough yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer.
"Hey, I want to see how long this Earl Stark can hold on."
At this moment, there were two crisp knocks on the door.
