On the last day of the new year 3783 in mainland China, "Bangta Daily" published a message in a relatively prominent position on the second page.
"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce signed a tripartite long-term cooperation agreement with the Principality of Mirando and the Principality of Luersun. According to this agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will provide a series of technical support to the Principality of Mirando and the Kingdom of Luersun. The state-owned joint venture will build several household magic machinery factories, while the Principality of Mirando and the Kingdom of Luersun will open their domestic mineral resources to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce... "
Although many people noticed this news when they read the "Bangta Daily", overall, this news did not cause much sensation in Bangta City.
After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been unable to produce magic machinery in the Lampali Kingdom for more than half a year due to the ban from the Magic Industry Administration. Also, due to the new regulations of the Commerce Department, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has significantly reduced its sales to The number of magical machines in the Lampali Kingdom.
For the people in the entire Lampali Kingdom and even Bangta City, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has almost disappeared from their world for more than half a year.
Although the product service centers set up by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in various cities in the Kingdom are still working, and some research institutions and a factory that produces canned fruits are still retained in Bangta City, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still remains in the lives of most people. What came down was probably the only household magic machinery they had purchased before. People are forgetful. After more than half a year, most people in the Lampali Kingdom have gradually forgotten about this chamber of commerce that has led countless trends in the kingdom.
Probably only in Bangta City, many people would occasionally think of it and feel a little nostalgic for the New Flying Merchant Association in their hearts.
President Pompeii of Filson's Horse and Carriage Shop. Perhaps he is one of the people who misses the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the most right now.
Although he is very dissatisfied with the fact that the city government is forced to purchase the magic motorcycle produced by the Rafale Chamber of Commerce as a bus. But given that there are still profits to be made from the Bangta City urban public transportation system. And continuing to maintain this city's bus system will be extremely helpful in improving the reputation of Filson Car and Horse Racing. Therefore, after careful consideration, President Pompeii did not choose to give up in the end. Instead, in accordance with the regulations of the City Lord's Palace, All were replaced by magic motorcycles produced by the Rafale Chamber of Commerce.
However, in less than four months since all bus replacements were completed, President Pompeii made detailed statistics and found that not only did he not make any money on the city's bus system, but he also lost money. The loss exceeded 50,000 gold coins.
And before that. Although Feilson Coach and Horse Racing Company set the bus price at an extremely low price because it followed the wishes of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and Xu Yi's advice, it was still able to make a profit. Although the profit is not much, I still make some 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins every month.
But now there is a sudden loss, and the amount of the loss is not small. After making statistics, Filson Motorcycle Company found that the reasons for this result are all due to the same point, that is, the quality problem of the Rafale medium-sized passenger magic locomotive. .
Last month alone, the 374 Rafale medium-sized passenger magic motorcycles owned by Filson Motorcycles suffered a total of 176 major and minor damages. For this reason, an additional maintenance cost of up to 23,625 gold coins was invested.
Because of such high-frequency damage, the entire Bangta City urban bus system has also been greatly affected. There are often situations where temporary replacement is necessary.
For this reason, Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing Shop paid an additional operating expense of at least three thousand gold coins.
In addition, the damage can range from large to small, and some may even cause several serious accidents.
The most serious one was when a Rafale medium-sized passenger magic motorcycle traveling from Bangta City to Nancheng New District suddenly lost control completely and crashed directly into a shop on the street.
Although no one was killed because the speed of the car was not fast, as many as 13 people were seriously injured and 24 people were slightly injured.
For this reason, Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing Company paid a total of more than 5,000 gold coins for medical treatment and compensation expenses.
Altogether, in the last month alone, Filson Vehicles and Horses Co., Ltd. spent nearly 40,000 gold coins on the city's public transportation system.
Leaving aside profits, the net loss even exceeded 20,000 gold coins.
This has been the case for several consecutive months, which has led to President Pompeii always feeling that the current city bus system is simply a burden to Filson Vehicles and Horses.
However, maintaining this city's bus system will not only enhance the reputation of Filson Car and Horse Racing in Bangta City, but also obtain certain policy preferences from the city government, which will receive a lot of care. Therefore, even though it is obviously losing money, President Pompeii But he has never made up his mind to give up, and has been struggling to maintain it.
However, a new regulation issued by the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago forced him to make up his mind.
This city's public transportation system, Filson Bus and Horse Line, can no longer survive.
The content of this regulation is very simple. It is to announce that starting from tomorrow, the special subsidies provided by Bangta City’s finance for Bangta City’s public transportation system will be cancelled.
The reason given by the city lord's palace was very strong, saying that this was to promote a fair business competition atmosphere in Bangta City, and no special financial subsidies could be given to a certain chamber of commerce.
But how could President Pompeii not know that this was simply because the city lord's palace was unwilling to continue spending money.
The reason why this regulation was not revised this year is entirely because this year's financial subsidy for the city's bus system had been issued as early as the beginning of the year by Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, who was the mayor of Bangta City at the time.
If they make direct changes this year, it will undoubtedly be a great disrespect to Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny.
In the new year, it is natural for the city lord's palace to change certain policies. Even Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny cannot criticize it.
Obviously, President Pompeii did not have any qualifications to accuse the City Lord's Mansion, so he could only accept it silently.
After several days of consideration and precise calculations, President Pompeii realized that if he lost the special financial subsidy from the City Lord's Palace. Filson Vehicles and Horses makes a net loss every year on the city's bus system alone. It will exceed 200,000 gold coins. Even close to three hundred thousand gold coins.
If in the past two years, the annual profits of Feilson Carriage and Horse Racing exceeded one million gold coins, then for the sake of reputation and the support of the city lord's palace, it could barely bear this loss.
But now the city government has made it clear that it will not support Filson Carriage and Horse Racing, and because those ten merchants have pushed the freight to extremely low prices, the profits of Filson Carriage and Horse Racing have dropped significantly. When the settlement is settled at the end of this year, all The total annual profit does not even exceed 500,000 gold coins.
Not to mention having this profit. It also includes high profits in the first half of this year.
If we only count the second half of the year, the total profit is only less than 200,000 gold coins.
Under this circumstance, Filson Vehicles and Horses Co., Ltd. is simply unable to bear the huge losses caused by the urban bus system.
In desperation, President Pompeii had no choice but to give up, no matter how much he wanted to live up to the expectations of Princess Sevigny and President Xu.
Therefore, the same news was published by "Bangta Daily" on the last day of the year 3783 in the mainland's new calendar. In the past, the report about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which would occupy the front page as long as it was related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, had to be relegated to second place. version location.
Because the news published on the front page was a piece of breaking news released by Feilson Car and Horse Racing through the "Bonta Daily".
Filson Cars and Horses has announced that starting next year, Filson Cars and Horses will completely withdraw from Bangta City’s urban bus system!
Just one morning. The news spread throughout Bangta City.
Everyone who received this message was stunned.
Filson Bus and Horse Company has withdrawn from the city's bus system. Does this mean that there will no longer be rides on the Magic Bus
But people in Bangta City have long been accustomed to taking this convenient and fast city bus magic motorcycle to get wherever they want to go. Now that it suddenly disappears, what should I do if I need to go out in the future
Rich people don't have a problem. Most of them have bought magic cars from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before, but what about those who can't afford magic cars? Does it all depend on riding a bicycle
The people in Bangta City have been accustomed to the urban public transportation system for nearly two years. Suddenly it disappeared, and a group of people were a little confused.
After being confused, many people became angry again.
At the beginning, Filson Car and Horse Racing took over the Bangta City urban bus system with the support of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and Chairman Xu. Now that it has made enough money, it actually took advantage of the support of Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny and Chairman Xu. You have already left Bangta City and you actually want to quit
What did he do to the people of Bonta City!
But after calming down for a while, people thought of a very critical issue.
Why should Filson Vehicles and Horses withdraw from the city’s bus system
For businessmen, making money is of course the first priority.
If running the city's bus system can make money, then even if someone puts a knife on President Pompeii's neck, he will not announce his withdrawal.
Because of this question, people began to re-read the report on this matter in the "Bangta Daily".
Although the description of this matter in the "Bangta Daily" is not very detailed, it points out two key points. One is that the city government canceled the special financial subsidy for the city's public transportation system, and the other is that the Rafale Chamber of Commerce in the city's public transportation system Monopoly on the Magic Motorcycle.
As long as a thoughtful person sees these two key points and thinks about it for a moment, he will roughly understand the problem.
Obviously, this is another attempt by the city lord to protect the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, as well as an attempt to squeeze Filson Carriage and Horse Racing, which had a close relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of all the messy things the City Lord's Mansion did against the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the second half of the year, as well as what those ten chambers of commerce did, before comparing Her Royal Highness Princess Sevini when she was the city lord, with the time when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was still in Bangta City. With such an appearance, the people in Bangta City suddenly felt an even stronger resentment in their hearts.
On the last day of the new mainland year 3873, Bangta City seemed calm on the surface.
But on the day of welcoming the New Year, there is no joyful atmosphere in Bangta City. Instead, under the calm surface, there are undercurrents hidden.
