Sevini looked at the statistical report in his hand and frowned slightly.
"It seems that there will be an influx of more immigrants into Bangta City this year than last year. This is only a rough count of the immigrant population in the first half of the new year, but it shows that more than 50,000 immigrants have entered Bangta City, and this is not even Excluding many people who cannot be counted, it may be close to 100,000 people."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Is there anything wrong with this? Bangta City is now short of manpower everywhere. Just relying on the local residents of Bangta City will definitely not be able to meet such a large manpower gap. It will definitely require the addition of outsiders. Don't forget "At its peak last year, there were more than 200,000 foreign residents in Nebangta City."
"But judging from the current trend, this year the number may far exceed 200,000. Maybe... it may exceed 300,000." Sevini shook his head and said with a worried look.
"The more, the better." Xu Yi shrugged indifferently. "Not only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I think all the chambers of commerce in the city will be very happy about this situation. There is no way, there are too few manpower available." Novel
Sevini glared at her: "You don't need to take care of it. Of course you feel relaxed. You know, the total population of Bangta City is less than 100,000, but now there is an influx of 200,000... or even 30 "Thousands of people come from other places, and as a city lord, I really feel a lot of pressure."
"It's a good thing to be stressed." Xu Yi laughed. "Dear Your Highness, the greater the pressure, the more outstanding your abilities will be, won't you? Think about it. If Bangta City will have an influx of more than 300,000 foreigners this year. Then the total population... is even possible Beyond Anvilmar City?”
Sevini nodded slightly: "Yes. According to last year's statistics, the permanent population of Anvilmar City is about 200,000. If you include the foreign population, it will probably remain at about 400,000."
"So, if you can lead such a city to develop peacefully and normally, that would be an admirable thing. If you can do this well, I think even those who oppose you can only treat you I admire your ability in handling government affairs. This will be very helpful for you to ascend to the throne." Xu Yi said seriously.
"Ascending the throne?" Sevini smiled bitterly. He glanced at the report in his hand again and sighed softly: "In this preliminary statistical report of foreign population, we can find a very strange problem. That is, this year's foreign population is estimated to come from the northwest and northern provinces of the kingdom. To be precise, , is from near the border of the Kingdom of Sac.”
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and snorted softly: "Although the status of the civilians on the northern border is not high, it does not mean that they are fools. Instead of staying there and being exploited by a certain prince to the point where they can no longer survive, If your life may be in danger in the future, it is better to find a way to escape there, and our city of Bangta is one of the best options.”
Sevini glanced at Xu Yi. He looked a little surprised: "Have you received any news from somewhere?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, I am not particularly concerned about this issue. It's just a few days ago. The relatives of two researchers from our Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute moved from the northern border and planned to settle in Bangta City. I saw them When I arrived, I asked them about the situation in the north and why they wanted to move to Bangta City, so I learned a little about the situation. "
"Two researchers? Are they Dean Evita and senior researcher Akali?" Sevini asked.
Xu Yi was stunned: "Your Highness, you know this very clearly."
Sevini smiled softly, and did not answer the question in Xu Yi's eyes. Instead, he pointed to the report in his hand and continued to ask: "President Xu, the number of immigrants who may pour into Bangta City this year may exceed Three hundred thousand. In addition to the two hundred thousand people who already worked in Bangta City last year, are you sure you can absorb the extra one hundred thousand people?"
Xu Yi frowned: "This should be something you, the city lord, should consider. What does it have to do with me?"
Sevini showed a sly smile: "Who told you, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to be the closest partner of the City Lord's Mansion, and President Xu, you are the most capable helper to me, the City Lord?"
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly: "Sir, City Lord, are you relying on me?"
"So what?"
Seeing Sevini's rare playful smile, Xu Yi rolled his eyes and stood up.
"This matter concerns the entire Bangta City. We cannot just let our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce resist, and the group of guys outside can't let it go either."
The two left Sevini's private office and came to the largest conference hall in the city lord's palace.
At this time, sitting separately in the conference hall were representatives of the presidents of various chambers of commerce in Bonta City, including not only President Cruz of the Amri Chamber of Commerce, President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and Sarank. Presidents of very large chambers of commerce such as President Lanke of the Chamber of Commerce and President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce, as well as many smaller chambers of commerce.
Even for a small chamber of commerce in the city, such as the United Irish Chamber of Commerce, which was less than two years old, Vice President Kaovach also appeared at the conference table as a representative.
Of course, his position was arranged in a corner and was not conspicuous at all.
Seeing Sevini and Xu Yi walking into the conference room, all the representatives of the chamber of commerce presidents who were originally talking about each other stopped.
Gazing across Xu Yi and Sevini, there was no surprise on everyone's faces, but a knowing smile flashed across their faces.
Xu Yi and Sevini have a close relationship, which is something everyone in Bangta City knows very well.
Although today's meeting was proposed by Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny in the name of the city's main palace, the Bangta City New Year Business Planning Council was convened, so representatives of almost all chambers of commerce of a certain size in Bangta City were convened.
But of course she would communicate privately with Xu Yi in advance, and no one would have any objection to Xu Yi's special treatment.
Not to mention that the entire Bangta City urban renovation project is the responsibility of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, just because last year the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually surpassed the old super chambers of commerce in Bangta City such as the Salak Chamber of Commerce, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and the Armani Chamber of Commerce, and became the Bangta City Chamber of Commerce. As the chamber of commerce that pays the most taxes in the city, Xu Yi is eligible for this privilege.
Although there were people sitting around the conference table and the room was packed, the first seat closest to the left of the chairman's seat was vacated by everyone's tacit understanding.
Xu Yi sat down in this position unceremoniously, smiled and greeted several representatives of the president around him, and then turned to look at Sevigny.
Sevini, who was being stared at by everyone around her, showed no signs of nervousness. She had been the city lord of Bangta City for half a year. She has now fully adapted to the position of city lord. When facing the representatives of the major chambers of commerce, she felt extremely relaxed. She is calm and does not look like a young girl in her early twenties at all, but more like a mature politician.
"Happy New Year to all presidents and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce." Sevigny first said a blessing, then took out the documents he had prepared and asked his assistant to distribute them, and began to give a brief speech.
Although the speech was not long, the content was not simple.
In this brief speech, Sevigny praised the major chambers of commerce in Bonta City for their contributions to Bonta City last year, and then encouraged everyone to continue their efforts in the new year.
Next, she started making specific requests.
For example, within the new year, the city government requires major chambers of commerce to give priority to ensuring credibility and not to cause any damage to the reputation of Bangta City as a whole.
Secondly, she also asked all major chambers of commerce to actively participate in the joint construction of Bangta City and play more of their social responsibilities.
At this point, Sevini emphatically praised the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and took the initiative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to donate one hundred medium-sized passenger magic motorcycles to the city government to strengthen Bangta City's urban public transportation. A compliment.
After hearing Sevigny's speech, the presidents and representatives of various chambers of commerce present immediately expressed that they would also learn from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Among them, President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce offered to build an aid station outside the city to proactively provide help to Bonta City residents who encountered difficulties.
President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce offered to provide a set of winter clothing and bedding for all elderly people over the age of 60 in Bangta City, and would also provide support for the elderly who have no one to support them to ensure their basic life. .
As for other chambers of commerce, they have also proposed different levels of free funding based on the size of their own chambers of commerce, which can be regarded as responding to Sevigny's call.
After saying this, Sevigny quickly introduced the topic to pragmatic issues.
The first point is how to digest the large influx of foreign population in Bangta City.
Hearing this question, the presidents and representatives of the major chambers of commerce all laughed easily.
Everyone said that no matter which chamber of commerce is now very short of people, everyone hopes that the more immigrants will flow into Bangta City, the better.
Not to mention 100,000 more people than last year, even if it was 200,000 more, everyone unanimously expressed that they were completely confident to eat them all.
However, at this time, Xu Yi raised a question.
"Everyone, please calm down first." Xu Yi stood up and looked around. When everyone was quiet, his eyes focused on him, and he continued seriously: "I understand everyone's desire for manpower, and I also know that all chambers of commerce in the city are facing The fact that there is a shortage of people. But I think... everyone has overlooked a very important issue. "
Everyone looked at each other, and President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The problem is that population is not equal to manpower." (To be continued...)
