Logistics and transportation are extremely developed on the modern earth, but on the continent of Sainz, for now, it is only limited to a small amount of personnel transportation and some cargo transportation.
As for the most critical cargo transportation, taking the Lampali Kingdom as an example, most of the time the major chambers of commerce that produce goods organize their own fleets for transportation, and the goods are basically not handed over to other chambers of commerce to help with transportation.
On the surface, it seems that the chambers of commerce on Sainz Continent do not have this habit, but from a deeper perspective, it is really due to limited conditions.
First of all, the biggest problem is the road problem.
Before the Luoyu Highway, there was no flat road in the entire Sainz continent that was smooth enough for transportation. Goods are easily subject to a lot of bumps on the road, and a lot of losses will occur during transportation alone. Therefore, the merchants who produce goods will certainly not be willing to hand over the important goods they produce to other chambers of commerce for transportation.
Because of this important problem, it is difficult to transport goods on the continent of Sainz to distant places. Due to restricted road conditions and transportation speed, they may be completely damaged on the road.
For example, although the various household magic machines currently produced by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have become very famous in Bangta City and several surrounding cities, it has taken more than two years to truly cover the entire Lampali. Kingdom, the biggest reason is the logistics and transportation problem. Secondly, there is the issue of transportation.
The main transportation capacity on Sainz's continent is horses, and the main means of transportation is horse-drawn carriages.
Not to mention the transportation speed and endurance of the carriage, the cost of just one or two horses required to form a carriage is already extremely high, and the cost of raising horses is even higher, so we want to form a fleet of carriages that can transport a large amount of goods. It's just not an easy thing.
This conditional restriction has also directly led to the development of logistics and transportation. This makes the flow of goods extremely difficult.
Xu Yi has now brought in President Cruz and President Pompeii at the same time because the Amuli Chamber of Commerce represented by President Cruz has initially solved the most important road issue, and he is about to provide the solution for Pompeii. Filson Horse Racing Company, represented by the president, solves equally important transportation issues.
"According to our experiments during the research and development process, this magical locomotive, which is powered by a wind magic engine, can provide a maximum pulling force equivalent to six horses. At the same time, it can also maintain high-frequency operation. It can maintain more than Thirty-five kilometers per hour..."
"Wait? Thirty-five kilometers per hour?" President Pompeii interrupted Xu Yi's description of the first-generation magic motorcycle with a look of shock. "So, this thing can run thirty-five kilometers an hour? It's so fast?" President Cruise on the side also looked incredulous, shook his head and sighed: "I thought Xu Yi told me about the magic motorcycle before. It’s completely bragging that it can run nearly 40 kilometers an hour after being successfully developed. I didn’t expect it to be true.”
Xu Yi glanced at the two of them angrily, thinking that the speed of 35 kilometers per hour shocked you like this. Then if you saw those F1 cars on the earth with speeds of 350 kilometers per hour or even higher, wouldn't you think so? Jaw dropped in shock
Of course, the carriages on Sainz's continent can only maintain a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour at best. It couldn't last too long, so it was no wonder that the two of them were shocked by the speed of the magic motorcycle.
"By the way, President Xu, you just said that this is an empty carriage. If it is filled with goods, it should be reduced a lot, right? How much can it keep? Is it faster or slower than a carriage?" President Pompeii thought for a moment. asked again.
"Of course it's faster than a horse-drawn carriage, otherwise why would we develop it?" Xu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, according to experimental tests, the first-generation wind-powered magic locomotive can pull items weighing no more than one ton. It can maintain a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour on flat ground and can also climb slopes with a slope of no more than 30 degrees. So... "...
Xu Yi turned to look at President Cruise: "In order to cooperate with the first generation of magic motorcycles, I would like to trouble you, the Amuli Chamber of Commerce, to minimize slopes when paving roads in the future, even if they are necessary. It is best not to have slopes. Over thirty degrees.”
"This... I'm afraid it's difficult." President Cruz was a little embarrassed. "Although most of our Lampali Kingdom is plain, there are still some mountains anyway. If you want to build a road into the mountains, it is impossible without slopes."
"Well, regarding the winding mountain highway and viaduct, I will discuss it with you later. I am just reminding you now. Anyway, the roads currently being built by your Amli Chamber of Commerce are basically in plain areas, and they will not cause much height. The slope." Xu Yi said. "And this is only the limitation of the first generation of magic motorcycles. When the development of magic motorcycles goes further in the future, this slope will not be a problem at all."
"Mountain roads and viaducts?" President Cruz's eyes immediately lit up.
From the meaning of Xu Yi's words, we can know that these two things are obviously very important in building roads. President Cruz suddenly felt itchy and wished he could have a good discussion with Xu Yi now.
But at this time, President Pompeii had already asked Xu Yi questions first.
"The magic locomotive can pull a maximum weight of one ton at a time?" The light from President Pompeii's eyes was only brighter than that of President Cruz. "By God! The two-horse cargo carriage of our Philson Carriage and Horse Shop can only drag no more than five hundred kilograms of things at a time!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "I said it before. If the power of this magic motorcycle is not as good as a carriage, then why should I spend so much effort to develop it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I know that you, President Xu, will not do meaningless things." President Pompeii nodded repeatedly, paused, with a slightly flattering smile on his face, and asked Xu Yi with a smile. : "This... that... President Xu, can I ask what price your New Flying Chamber of Commerce plans to set for this magic motorcycle?"
"We'll wait until you see the magic motorcycle. I haven't actually experienced it. I think you won't accept it no matter what price I tell you." Xu Yi replied.
President Pompeii and President Cruz looked at each other and nodded slightly, thinking that Xu Yi had expressed this attitude. I am afraid that the price of this magic motorcycle will definitely not be low.
But it’s not surprising to think about it. If the performance of this magic motorcycle is really as powerful as Xu Yi said, then the price should be higher.
"Let's take advantage of this time to discuss this logistics matter." Xu Yi brought the topic back to what he just said. "I think you all should be very clear about the importance of goods circulation, so I won't talk too much in this regard. Now I will mainly discuss how to cooperate. Come, look at the map..."
Xu Yi's finger first clicked on Bangta City, and then drew a zigzag line along Bangta City, continuing to Anvilmar City on the map.
"Look, the Amri Chamber of Commerce has completely built a connecting road between Bangta City and Anvilmar City. What's even more beneficial is that this road will also connect several cities along the way. So now If you start from our city of Bonta to Anvilmar City, you can take the road all the way, which is much faster and more comfortable than before. President Pompeii, you are better than me and President Cruz in this regard. It’s much clearer, right?”
"Yes." President Pompeii nodded. "Compared to before, many more people are now willing to take our carriages to travel between Anvilmar City and these cities, because the time is saved by nearly half compared to before, and it takes more than three days. It only takes about a day, and guests generally report that riding in a carriage is much more comfortable than before.”…
"Look, this is the importance of solving transportation problems. So what about the freight situation?" Xu Yi asked again.
"For freight..." President Pompeii shrugged helplessly. "Large chambers of commerce basically have their own fleets, so they generally don't turn to our carriage company. As for small chambers of commerce... even if they have goods that need to be transported at once, it won't be much. It's not cost-effective to help them transport them."
"Then if your company, Feilson Carriage and Horses, can provide faster and faster transportation, will those big chambers of commerce be willing to let you transport the goods?"
"Of course they will!" President Pompeii replied proudly, but then immediately became discouraged. "But President Xu, even if the magic motorcycle you mentioned is very strong, other chambers of commerce will probably buy magic motorcycles to form their own fleets, so why do they have to come to us?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "It was you who I found first. This is the advantage of your company, Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing. Could it be that you have the advantage of being one step ahead, can't you seize this opportunity?"
President Pompeii's eyes suddenly lit up: "President Xu, tell me, how should we seize this opportunity? What are our advantages over others?"
"There are many places where you can take the lead." Xu Yi replied: "For example, you can completely serve as a chamber of commerce that specializes in logistics and passenger transportation, so just in terms of the number and scale of magic locomotives, it will be higher than others. The Chamber of Commerce is much stronger because you can handle all kinds of business more flexibly.”
"Yes, I understand. No matter whether the goods need to be transported are large or small, we can take them all. Is there anything else?" President Pompeii continued to ask with a look of anticipation.
"For example, because you have purchased a large number of magic motorcycles from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, you can get a priority cooperation relationship between us and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can provide all-round services for your magic motorcycles. For example, we can provide you with all-round services. Cultivating qualified magic motorcycle drivers is one of them.”
"Driver?" President Pompeii and President Cruz were both stunned. "what is that?"
"To put it simply, the person responsible for driving the magic motorcycle is similar to the carriage driver. But..."
The expression on Xu Yi's face suddenly became a little strange.
"Because the operation requirements and dangers of magic motorcycles are relatively high, drivers who drive magic motorcycles also need to pass certain assessments before they are allowed to drive. I have written a letter to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, asking her to propose a proposal to the Kingdom Council , passed a resolution requiring all drivers who drive magic motorcycles to have a driving qualification certificate issued by our New Aviation Chamber of Commerce, referred to as a driver's license."
