The delegation from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom stayed in the Principality of Standing for half a month. ,
During this period, they not only inspected the Principality of Standing, but also had a lot of contacts with many chambers of commerce in neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Lulxun.
In just this half month, as many as sixteen chambers of commerce from surrounding countries have confirmed their intention to invest in Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and more than thirty chambers of commerce have expressed the same interest. .
This result made the Nozdormu Business United Kingdom delegation very satisfied, saying that the trip was very fruitful.
Of course, everyone understands that if it weren’t for the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s transportation fleet, which gave the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the ability to transport personnel and materials to places more than 5,000 kilometers away, such cooperation would simply not be possible. .
It should be said that this kind of cooperation is extremely beneficial to both parties.
Because the distance was too far, the two sides had almost no communication before, so through this contact, both sides discovered that the other side had many resources that they could only dream of.
If this cooperation goes smoothly, both parties will benefit greatly from it.
For example, the Principality of Standing produces a large amount of high-end, rainforest-specific wood, while the Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu has numerous swamps. In addition to producing many rare plants and trees, which can be used to extract many precious medicinal materials and magic materials, It also produces a wide variety of rare animals, which also contain extremely high value.
It was precisely because the large number of special products brought by the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom's delegation attracted the attention of many chambers of commerce that they finally made up their minds to cooperate with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
And in all related cooperation, it is the focus of everyone's attention. Of course, it is a matter of cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the United Kingdom of Nozdormu Commerce.
According to the message brought by the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom delegation. The Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu has fully built two deep-water ports that can accommodate large magic ships. This also means that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can easily transport large quantities of materials and related personnel to the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
So within this half month, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also reached a number of agreements with the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
According to the agreement, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will first invest in the construction of a steel mill, a fertilizer processing plant, and a farmland magic machinery processing plant in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and first help the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom solve the most basic food problems. Production issues.
Afterwards, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will establish a small household magic machinery production base in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom.
However, this production base is not entirely owned independently by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but is jointly invested and built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and seventeen other small household magic machinery chambers of commerce in the Lampali Kingdom.
Among them, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only provides one organizational name. Not only is there no specific production, even the Xinfei brand household magic machines are only sold in small quantities.
This approach is actually equivalent to completely handing over the market of Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to other chambers of commerce.
Correspondingly, the other seventeen Household Magic Machinery Chambers of Commerce have promised to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to strictly abide by various standards related to household magic machines specified by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, these seventeen chambers of commerce are also responsible for assisting the Amri Chamber of Commerce in infrastructure construction work such as road paving within the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, and assisting the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom in related infrastructure renovations.
And this is actually the most important reason why Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gave up the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, a market it created.
Quite simply, there is a shortage of manpower.
Although there are still many noble lords in the Lampali Kingdom who use their slaves to exchange steel-making technology with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the number of noble lords in the Lampali Kingdom is limited. The number of noble lords willing to trade slaves for technology was even more limited, so except for the early days, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce took in a large number of slaves. After that, there were fewer and fewer, and recently there was none.
This caused the manpower growth of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to stagnate again, forcing Xu Yi to give up many plans that required heavy manpower investment.
Originally, he planned to build a complete new Flying Chamber of Commerce sub-base in Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, striving to bring the entire Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom under his control, and use this sub-base as the basis to build the new Flying Chamber of Commerce. The influence of the Flying Chamber of Commerce expanded, eventually affecting the entire southeastern corner of the Sainz continent.
However, the problem of manpower shortage limited his idea, forcing him to take the initiative to give up the market of Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom in order to cooperate with other magic machine chambers to jointly create this plan.
In Xu Yi's mind now, the problem of lack of manpower has become the biggest problem that bothers him the most.
He had countless development plans for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but he was always limited by manpower and had to put them on hold. This always made him feel helpless that he had no place to use his energy.
However, the Principality of Standing is only a small country after all. The total population of the entire principality is less than one million, of which the available labor force is only less than 400,000.
Of course, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot get all these 400,000 people into its own hands, because after all, there is still a lot of labor left to do other necessary work.
In addition, the education level of these labor forces in the Principality of Standing is generally not high, and the overall quality is far less than that of the people recruited in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Kingdom of Luersun, so it is not very helpful to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Now the total number of employees of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has exceeded 150,000, but less than half of them are from the Principality of Standing, the remaining half are mainly from the Kingdom of Lampali, a small part are from the Kingdom of Luersun, and the rest are from various Interracial employees.
It is of course impossible for the population of the Principality of Standing to skyrocket in an instant, so in order to increase the available labor force, Xu Yi copied the vocational skills training colleges previously built in Bangta City, and also opened a large number of vocational skills training colleges in the Principality of Standing. .
Unlike the vocational skills training academies in Bonta City, these vocational skills training academies in the Principality of Standing are completely free. The only requirement for students is that they must join the New Flying Chamber of Commerce after graduation.
In fact, such conditions are not a restriction for most people, but a temptation, because working in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is what many people dream of.
Therefore, after the opening of these vocational skills training colleges, not only countless people from the Principality of Standing actively signed up, but also many people from the Kingdom of Lampali, the Kingdom of Luersun, and the farther away Principality of Drake, the Principality of Mirando, and even the Principality of Norton. After hearing the news, I came all the way to receive training.
In the first phase of these vocational skills training colleges this year, more than 30,000 people signed up.
I believe that as long as we give them two or three more years and wait until all these students have completed their studies and graduated, the personnel problem of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be greatly alleviated.
But before that, Xu Yi still had to worry about manpower issues.
But at this moment, an unexpected situation happened, which gave Xu Yi a glimmer of hope.
After staying in the Principality of Standing for half a month, the delegation of the United Kingdom of Commerce from Nozdormu, together with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce transport fleet and a bunch of inspection representatives sent by the Chamber of Commerce, set off with a large amount of preliminary construction materials. The Principality of Standing, returned to the Commercial United Kingdom of Nozdormu.
After they left, Xu Yi immediately ordered the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team to launch an attack on the Crusk Kingdom.
As Hart said, the so-called Kingdom of Crusk is actually just a large pirate collective formed by a group of pirates, which is completely different from a real country.
When the New Flying Chamber of Commerce attacked the Crusk Kingdom, they faced nothing more than groups of pirates.
As for the fighting power of these pirates...
Perhaps they were slightly stronger than the pirates Leslie encountered in the southern waters of the Luersun Kingdom and the southern waters of the Candela Empire, but they were undoubtedly not enough when facing the powerful escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi didn't care much about the specific battle process, because he knew very well that with the powerful firepower provided by frigates that were far ahead of this era and a variety of military magic machines, it was absolutely impossible for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce frigates to fight in the entire endless sea. There is nothing comparable to it.
And the reality was just as he expected.
From the beginning of the operation, all the news coming back from the front were good news.
The second fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet, commanded by Hart himself, was invincible on the endless sea, easily defeating all the maritime forces of the Crusk Kingdom.
Among the messages Xu Yi received, in addition to all the changes in the number of ships sunk every day, there was basically one message repeated every day - the escort fleet had won again.
In less than twenty days after starting the operation, the Second Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet commanded by Hart visited almost every island within the territory of the Crusk Kingdom without encountering any real obstacles.
Among them, all the ships of all the pirate groups under the Crusk Kingdom did not even touch the edge of the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Twenty days later, the Second Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet never encountered any resistance. The Marines successfully landed on the Crusk Island, known as the capital of the Crusk Kingdom, and captured Crusk with the same ease and smoothness. Crusk Palace on the island, and captured the current king of Crusk Kingdom alive.
Xu Yi was not surprised by this result. The only thing he cared about was why the so-called Crusk Kingdom wanted to die and suddenly came to attack the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet.
But among the news sent back by Hart, there was one message that caught his attention.
The captured King of Crusk stated that the Kingdom of Crusk was actually formed by a group of slaves who could not bear the torture of the noble lords and were exiled overseas.
Now that they have been captured by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as Xu Yi is willing to bypass the lives of all the people in the Crusk Kingdom, they are willing to resume their status as slaves and return to the name of the lord Xu Yi. (To be continued...)
