Naturally, these words cannot be said directly to the leader of the Weilun clan, because the reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hired these farmers was originally because of the agreement signed with the Weilun clan leader, which can be regarded as assisting the Weilun clan leader to solve the living problems of the five thousand people in his territory. .
Moreover, according to the results of Xu Yi's investigation and the facts that Cantona learned privately, although these five thousand people work here and receive salaries from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are actually still counted as the territory of the Wei Lun clan leader. The people on the throne even had to hand over more than half of their salaries to Patriarch Wei Lun.
As a result, the Weilun patriarch could teach this lazy worker a lesson unscrupulously. On the contrary, Cantona, no matter how dissatisfied he was with this lazy guy, still had to defend him.
After all, for the leader of the Wei Lun clan, killing one person would have no impact at all. At worst, he would have to find someone else.
As for Cantona, although this person is lazy, after all, he has gradually become familiar with the operation of farmland magic machinery through more than half a month, and he is considered a skilled worker.
No matter how dissatisfied he is with the working attitude of these local farmers, he can at least play some role. If it were another person, he would have to teach him from scratch.
Looking at the fat face of Patriarch Wei Lun, Cantona felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Such a disgusting, cruel and lustful garbage nobleman, but because he controls this land, he can now get a lot of profits from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce every year.
In addition to the annual rent of 300,000 gold coins and 30% of the grain harvest, each of these five thousand workers has a monthly salary of five gold coins. In total, he has to take away at least 20,000 gold coins a month. More than two hundred thousand gold coins a year.
Do a rough general ledger. Just relying on leasing these 100,000 hectares of land. Patriarch Wei Lun's annual income is around 600,000 gold coins.
Think of this huge number. Cantona couldn't help but feel heartache.
If this money is not given to Patriarch Wei Lun, but is used elsewhere, how many things can be done...
But Cantona also knows very well that this can also be regarded as the entry fee for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to knock on the door of the Principality of Standing.
But probably only a big man like Xu Yi with great courage would really dare to make this determination, right
At the very least, Cantona himself would not dare.
"President Cantona, I have another question." The voice of Chief Wei Lun brought Cantona back from his fugue.
"Huh? Chief Wei Lun, do you have any questions? Please ask directly." Cantona reacted and smiled quickly.
Chief Wei Lun pointed to the various farmland magic machines that were busy in the fields and asked: "These farmland magic machines should be produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? I don't know... President Xu is willing to sell me some of these things. Woolen cloth?"
Cantona laughed: "Of course. Chief Wei Lun. Do you think President Xu asked us to bring so many farmland magic machines just to reclaim this land? To tell you the truth, Xu Hui The chief has told me in private that he should seize every opportunity to promote the benefits of these farmland magic machines, and it would be best if every noble territory in the Principality of Standing uses them. Do you think he is willing to sell them?"
Chief Wei Lun suddenly laughed: "As long as you are willing to sell it. Very good, President Cantona, please inform President Xu for me and say that I want to purchase 1,000 units each of various farmland magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , I hope he can help me solve this problem as soon as possible.”
Cantona smiled and shook his head: "You don't need me to tell you, President Xu will be here in a few days. Wouldn't it be better for you to tell him in person then?"
"Oh? President Xu is really coming?" Chief Wei Lun suddenly looked surprised. "Great! When President Xu comes, I must entertain him well!"
Seeing Patriarch Wei Lun's fleshy face squeezed into a ball with a smile. Cantona couldn't help but shook his head slightly, thinking that it was no wonder that Chief Wei Lun was so happy when he heard that Xu Yi was coming.
Anyone who heard that someone who could bring him 600,000 gold coins a year was coming would definitely be as excited as Patriarch Wei Lun.
After discussing the issues on this land with Cantona for a while, Chief Wei Lun left with his men and maid Shi Shiran satisfied. Cantona thought about it and walked towards the seaside.
The coast next to this piece of land gradually changed its appearance at this time. In addition to building a breakwater of more than ten meters high about one kilometer away from the coastline, a road was also built directly from this large piece of land. It is connected all the way to a port under construction on the seaside.
This coast is a small bay, which just blocks the monsoon and huge invasion, forming a natural harbor on the coast.
When Xu Yi asked Cantona to bring people here to reclaim the rented land, he also asked the Armley Chamber of Commerce to send a construction team to build the port here.
Now more than half a month has passed, and the port has begun to take shape. A steel frame has been erected for a pier leading to the deep sea.
According to Director Riley of the Armley Chamber of Commerce who is responsible for the project here, only cement concrete pouring is needed, and the port can take initial shape.
However, the Armley Chamber of Commerce has no relevant construction experience at all for this new type of cement concrete wharf. In addition, the construction of the wharf is extremely difficult, so Director Riley is not optimistic about the progress.
Fortunately, Xu Yi did not rush it and gave a construction period of up to five years.
This made Cantona and Director Riley very puzzled when chatting privately.
Since Xu Yi is not in a hurry, why should he want to build this terminal so early
More importantly, how will building this terminal here help Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doesn’t even have a ship…
What's more, even if there is a boat, there are so many inland rivers on the Sainz continent, why run into the endless sea, which is boundless and dangerous everywhere
During the time when the two came to the Principality of Standing, although they had seen many local fishing boats going out to sea for fishing, the furthest they were no more than ten kilometers away from the coast. Even the most experienced fishermen would not be able to fish any further. Don't dare to go.
"Who knows... President Xu's foresight is far beyond the comparison between the two of us. Maybe he has other plans." Director Riley shrugged, looking indifferent. "Anyway, we just use his money to do things for him. As for what he is thinking, we don't need to care. At least I have known President Xu for more than two years. I have never seen him do anything that loses money. Stupid things, this time will definitely not be an exception.”
Cantona glanced at Director Riley with some surprise, thinking that although he admired Chairman Xu very much, he could not match Director Riley's almost blind praise.
"Don't look at me like that. Even our President Cruz admires President Xu very much. Cantona, don't doubt it." Director Riley laughed and said: "Look, if not Chairman Xu has the ability. How can you, a small chamber of commerce in Cantona, own this entire 100,000 hectares of farmland? How much is the total farmland in Bonta City that you have in your hands now? The farmland is much more than that of all the nobles in Bangta City."
Cantona smiled bitterly: "There is enough land, but what I am worried about now is whether I can make money."
Director Riley rolled his eyes at Cantona: "What are you worried about? Your Cantona Chamber of Commerce does not pay the rent for this field. You just need to organize people to cultivate and cultivate it, and then hand over the grain that should be handed over to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. , the rest is your own net profit."
"I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Cantona shook his head. "Because I did some calculations and found that even if we can really harvest three crops of rice a year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely lose money in the end. You said that you have never seen President Xu do anything that loses money, but this matter... at least since Now it seems like we are definitely going to lose money.”
"Don't worry." Director Riley patted Cantona on the shoulder: "As I said just now, President Xu is definitely much better than us. Now from your point of view, he may be losing money. But this It’s two different things than losing money, because capital represents a lot of things. President Xu may lose some money because of this, but he will definitely gain something else, but neither of us can see it now.”
Cantona glanced at Director Riley speechlessly, thinking that his confidence in Xu Yi was really blind.
But after thinking about it, it seems that it is none of his business. The Cantona Chamber of Commerce is just a small and weak chamber of commerce. Instead of worrying about whether a big chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will lose money, whether a big shot like President Xu will. If you make a mistake in judgment, you might as well study how to develop yourself.
Thinking of this, Cantona rolled his eyes, put his arms around Director Riley's shoulders, raised his eyebrows at him, showed a sexy smile and asked: "Stop talking about this, let's go have a drink after work tonight. ? I heard that the girls here in the Principality of Standing have very good figures. Do you want to try them out? "
Director Riley swallowed, but shook his head: "No, a batch of new materials will arrive tonight. I have to arrange for someone to take over, and I have to personally see that nothing happens."
Cantona was a little disappointed: "That's such a pity. I also said we would go have a drink together and deepen our relationship. We might have to work together here for a long time in the future. It won't work if we don't build a good relationship." ”
Director Riley laughed: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If we get things done now, we will be more relaxed in the future and can play as we want. If we really handle everything here, believe it or not, that Chief Wei Lun Are you going to ask us in the future? At that time, what kind of thing do you want to experience that is not just a word from Patriarch Wei Lun? "
Cantona thought for a while, sighed and said: "Okay, let's talk about it later. But every time I see Chief Wei Lun, I always think about how fat he is and how he can't put it on top of those little girls. Those little girls were crushed to death..."
Director Riley smiled and was about to answer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure running from a distance and stopped immediately.
Seeing the look of Director Riley, Cantona turned around and found that the man running over was a subordinate from the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.
This one of Cantona's men rushed all the way to Cantona. Before he could take a break, he gasped: "Fight... fight... the fight is about to begin!"
Cantona frowned: "What started a fight?"
"I... our... people, and... fought... with those... those lazy guys... started a fight..."
Cantona was shocked.
