"In the next year, our main research and development goal, in addition to the magic ship, the most important is the magic airship. ◇↓Ding◇↓Dian◇↓Xiao◇↓ said,"
As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Evita.
Everyone knows that Evita has always been mainly responsible for the research and development of magic airships.
Evita nodded slightly: "President, I will pay close attention."
"Not just hurry up, I want to make specific demands of you." Xu Yi said seriously. "Evita, tell me, where is the development progress of the magic airship now?"
Evita pondered for a moment and replied: "The specific data is that the magic airship we are currently developing can have a maximum load capacity of 17 tons, a maximum load volume of 36 cubic meters, and a maximum sailing speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and the maximum one-way non-continuous sailing distance can exceed 930 kilometers.”
After hearing Evita's introduction, everyone else showed admiration.
Although I don't know much about the magic airship, judging from the data reported by Evita, this magic airship obviously has very good performance.
More importantly, the magic airship flies completely in the sky. Based on this alone, it is much superior to the magic locomotive and magic ship.
It is obviously for this reason that the president values the magic airship so much.
"Well, it's not bad." Xu Yi nodded, but his expression was not very satisfied. "But it still doesn't meet my requirements. Evita, my requirement is that the one-way non-endurance distance of the magic airship can exceed 1,500 kilometers, and the speed needs to exceed 100 kilometers per hour. Can you do it?"
"Speed 100 kilometers per hour?" Everyone was stunned.
Even the magic car powered by the fire magic engine newly developed by the Chamber of Commerce. The top speed is currently only over 80 kilometers per hour.
The president actually asked the magic airship to reach a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. Is this too much to ask for
However, Evita just thought about it for a moment and nodded firmly.
"no problem."
"Okay." Xu Yi was satisfied, smiled and motioned for Evita to sit down, and then turned to Canby. "Evita is confident, what about you Canby?"
Canby grinned: "As long as the Magic Research Institute can design the model, our Magic Machine Tool R&D Center will have no problems."
Xu Yi smiled and motioned to Kennard for him to continue.
Although everyone here is a senior executive of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they are not aware of the situation of the entire Chamber of Commerce. But I don't fully understand it. Now after listening to Kennard's work report, I have a general understanding of the current situation of the entire chamber of commerce.
They didn't know it until they understood it. Once they understood it, everyone was surprised to find that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had become such a huge chamber of commerce without even realizing it. Several countries including the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Luersun.
This is something that even the first-class chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom would find difficult to achieve.
However, their surprise had only just begun. When Kennard finally named Sebastian to make the annual financial report, everyone's surprise turned to shock.
The financial report done by Sebas shows. This year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's total profit in the field of household magic machinery alone exceeded 10 million gold coins.
In terms of applying magic machinery, it mainly focuses on engineering magic machinery and magic locomotives, with a total profit of more than six million gold coins.
As for the magic machine tools, it brought a profit of about 1.8 million gold coins to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, there are also profits of more than one million gold coins from additional commodities such as bicycles, cement, fertilizers, etc.
If we include the profits of up to 4 million gold coins created by the five steelmaking plants this year, the total profit earned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year has actually reached an astonishing more than 2,300 gold coins. Ten thousand gold coins!
This number surprised everyone.
When the year-end summary report was made last year, the total profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had just exceeded 10 million gold coins.
Unexpectedly, just one year later, the total profit has more than doubled!
This speed of development is simply unbelievable!
"President... We... Even if we are in the Lampali Kingdom, we can probably be regarded as a first-class chamber of commerce?" After a moment of silence in the conference room, Ankato swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
"Nonsense!" Heinze scolded, with a proud look on his face: "The largest chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom should be the Falcao Chamber of Commerce. It is good to earn 10 million gold coins a year. I dare say that if our chamber of commerce It is definitely the most profitable chamber of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom!”
Seeing the excited looks on several people's faces, Xu Yi smiled and shook his head.
"Don't be too happy. It's true that our chamber of commerce is making a lot of money now, but if we really want to compare it with those old chambers of commerce, it's still far behind. After all, our establishment time is too short, and our foundation is still too weak."
"President, what are you referring to?" Canby asked doubtfully.
"Many aspects." Xu Yi replied with a smile. "If we want to catch up with those established chambers of commerce, or even enter a huge empire like the Candela Empire in the future, and compete with the top-notch chambers of commerce on the entire continent in the Candela Empire, we still have a lot to add and strengthen. So don't look at earning The more money we make, the more money we need to spend.”
Having said this, Xu Yi clapped his hands hard, motioned Sebas to sit down, and continued in a loud voice: "After talking about the good things about the Chamber of Commerce, now it's time to summarize the bad things about the Chamber of Commerce. Let's talk about it casually. Let's talk about the current situation of the Chamber of Commerce. What areas need to be improved? Don’t be polite, just say it.”
Everyone looked at each other.
After being silent for a while, Evita was the first to raise her hand.
"Well, Evita, you go ahead."
Evita nodded slightly and said seriously: "President, I hope that the Chamber of Commerce can continue to recruit more magicians to enter the institute, and it is best to recruit more high-level magicians. Because our Chamber of Commerce is currently developing large-scale magic Mechanical requirements for power and other aspects are getting higher and higher, and low-level magic arrays can no longer meet the requirements, so senior magicians continue to contribute to the research of advanced magic arrays."
"Okay, this is a very reasonable request. If possible, I would like to recruit more magicians at the level of great magicians to enter the magic research institute. It is even possible to have magicians at the level of magisters willing to come. Better."
Everyone looked at each other again.
President, are you talking in your sleep
A magician at the level of a great magician already has a very high status in most countries. How could he join a chamber of commerce at will
As for the Magister? He was a top figure in both the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire, so how could he come to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to participate in research work.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now able to have a magician like Camilla, as well as the existence of three great magicians: Truchi, Reina and the dwarf Lumi. It is an outlier among all chambers of commerce in the entire continent. Xu Yi Wanting more is simply a fool's errand.
But then I thought about it, even Xu Yi himself was a great magician, and he was also extremely rare among the chambers of commerce in the entire continent, so this idea didn't seem to be difficult to understand.
Evita had great confidence in Xu Yi, smiled and nodded, which was regarded as approval of Xu Yi's answer.
With Evita taking the lead, others also let go of their worries and began to speak to Xu Yi one after another.
However, compared to Evita's request to recruit more senior magicians, the requests made by others are much simpler.
To sum it up, it’s actually just one word, money.
So in the end, a statistics was made on the requests and questions raised by these people, and the financial director Sebas came up with a number.
"Mr. President, if we want to solve these problems, the Chamber of Commerce will have to invest at least five million gold coins next year."
Everyone was shocked.
It’s not that I didn’t know, but after doing some calculations, I realized that the demands they made would actually cost so much.
Xu Yi did not show any surprise. He pointed at Evita and Canby with a smile and said: "Increase the budget of the Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center by 30%. The Chamber of Commerce will have higher budgets in the next two years. To meet the development requirements, technology research and development must continue to improve.”
No one made any comments.
Xu Yi has always had strict requirements and strict treatment in research and development, and at the same time, he has spared no effort in investment.
The Magic Research Institute and the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center are almost two very special departments within the Chamber of Commerce, and their status seems to be inherently higher than other departments.
However, Xu Yi valued what they won at this time, so no one would have any objections.
After everyone stopped, Xu Yi suddenly pointed to the far end of the conference table.
"Except for these, multiply the original budget of the Chamber of Commerce Guards by five."
"ah?"
Everyone, including Hart, the captain of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team who also participated in the year-end summary meeting but had not spoken yet, opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief on their faces.
The original budget of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards is extremely sufficient. According to the budget plan just announced by Sebastian, the budget of the Chamber of Commerce Guards next year will be as high as 300,000 gold coins, far exceeding that of any chamber of commerce guard that has a cooperative relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. team budget.
But Xu Yi now said that he would multiply the original budget by five, which would be a full 1.5 million gold coins!
God be upon you! The total profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in a year is more than 20 million gold coins, which is good, but it suddenly spent 1.5 million gold coins on the Chamber of Commerce Guards. This is comparable to the army budgets of the Lampali Kingdom and the Luersun Kingdom. Not much different.
President, what on earth does he... want to do? (To be continued...)
