Count Revere frowned slightly as he looked at the financial report of Bonta City last month in his hand.
This does not mean that this financial report is not good-looking. On the contrary, the data above is extremely gorgeous, and anyone who sees it will be extremely surprised.
According to this financial report, the total monthly financial revenue of Bangta City last month was 460,000 gold coins, which has successfully surpassed Anvilmar City and became one of the cities with the highest financial revenue in the Lampali Kingdom.
You know, as the royal capital of the Lampali Kingdom, Anvilmar City has naturally received special attention from the entire kingdom. In addition, more than half of the kingdom's great nobles and large chambers of commerce are concentrated in it, and its financial revenue has always been high. Far beyond all other cities in the kingdom.
And if the time is forwarded eight years, before the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has emerged, Bangta City's financial revenue is negative at all, and it needs partial subsidies from the kingdom's finance every year to barely survive, although it is not the worst in the entire kingdom. city, but it was also ranked at the bottom. I never imagined that one day I would be able to surpass Anvilmar City.
However, just eight years later, Bangta City has achieved this achievement that was never imagined before. It is undoubtedly something that everyone in Bangta City should be proud of.
As the current city lord of Bangta City, and also the leader who has personally created Bangta City's glorious achievements in recent years, Count Revere is obviously more qualified to be happy and proud of it.
When he first saw this financial report, Count Revere was indeed filled with joy and felt deeply proud in his heart.
But when he saw a piece of data at the back of the report that was originally inconspicuous, his mood suddenly changed.
This data is about the monthly financial revenue growth of Bangta City.
Follow the data. Bangta City's financial revenue last month was about 460,000 gold coins. Compared with the 440,000 gold coins in March, fiscal revenue has increased by about 4%.
For Bangta City, which already has such a scale. A 4% improvement in one month is quite an achievement.
But Count Revere remembers clearly that this figure was 6% in last month's financial statistics, 8% in the previous month, and 9% in another month.
If you look at the fiscal revenue statistics for the past six months, you will find that this data is decreasing month by month.
In other words, Bangta City's current fiscal revenue growth rate is getting slower and slower.
Judging from the current trend, I'm afraid it won't be until the end of this year. The financial revenue of Bangta City will no longer increase significantly.
It may even cause regression!
"Impossible!" Count Revere immediately shook his head vigorously, instantly denying the possibility of his inner speculation.
But when he calmed down and thought about it seriously, he had to admit that this was a fact that he had to face.
The development of Bangta City has obviously entered a bottleneck period. It is difficult to achieve rapid development like when the magic industry was just emerging and growing.
To solve this problem, in addition to strengthening the multi-faceted development of Bangta City, the most important thing is to spend great efforts on the magic industry, the pillar of Bangta City.
After pacing and thinking in the office for about half an hour, Count Revere left the city lord's palace. Get in his special magic car and head to the west of Bangta City New Town.
This brand-new urban area is another new urban area in Bangta City, which the city only started developing last year.
According to Count Revere's plan, this new urban area will be built into a comprehensive urban area. It is not like the previous planning of Bangta City, which divided each urban area into areas with clearly differentiated functions.
In this comprehensive urban area, three hotels and many shops have been built. Two factories of different styles have been built on one side of the road, and a large number of residential buildings have been built by the Amli Chamber of Commerce on the other side. .
These 20-meter-high six-story residences are the latest so-called "apartment residences" launched by the Armley Chamber of Commerce, because they are already equipped with a complete automatic water supply system and warm water circulation system underground, plus complete sewers. system, making this residential area one of the most convenient residences in Bangta City.
At the same time, because the price is not particularly high, far less expensive than those villas, it has been extremely popular once it was launched.
Not far away diagonally across from this residential area, a building covering an extremely large area was rising from the ground.
This building complex belongs to the Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training Academy, which is a product of the expansion of the Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training Academy.
The reason why it can occupy such a large and well-located area is due to the strong support of Count Revere.
Although the Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training Academy was founded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, after the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left Bangta City and the Lampali Kingdom, the college fell under the control of the Bangta City Lord.
After Count Revere took over as the Lord of Bangta City, he didn't pay much attention to this college in the first two years. But starting from last year, he began to focus on this college, not only giving land, but also investing a lot of money. Funds, in the face of vigorous enrollment in Bangta City and surrounding cities, have expanded the size of this college by four or five times.
At present, there are more than 8,000 students in this college. In addition to most of them focusing on technical worker training subjects related to various magic machines, there are also more than 400 students who are directly conducting research on the theory of magic machines. and learning.
This is a subject established under the special instruction of Count Revel. At the same time, Count Revel also instructed the Baron Rector Magic Academy to send students from the academy here to learn the theory of magic machinery.
If it were in the past, of course no students would be interested in this kind of research, but as magic machines became popular in the Lampali Kingdom and nearby countries, not only the students studying magic at Baron Rector Magic Academy were interested in learning the theory of magic machines. There is a strong interest in knowledge, and even the young magicians from Lampali Royal Academy are also actively involved.
Compared with Lampali Royal Academy, Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training College has a very important advantage, that is, this college was originally founded by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now even if the ownership belongs to Bangta City, Xu Yi I have always paid close attention to this college. Not only will I not hesitate to provide a large number of skilled workers from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for on-site training, but I will also provide the college with a lot of detailed basic theoretical knowledge of magic machinery, making it more convenient for students of this college. learn and master this knowledge.
Earl Revere came here specially today to attend a ceremony.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will donate a book to the Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training Institute. The director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Magic Research Institute, Ivita, and the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Magic Machine Tool R&D Center, Ai Dwarf Canby, will connect several members within the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. "Introduction to the Basic Theory of Magic Machinery" co-written by famous research institutes and engineers.
This book is the first true theory book on magic machinery. According to the information provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it contains a very complete theoretical basis related to magic machinery, which allows a person with no foundation in magic machinery to Master the basic theory of magical machinery after reading this book.
This book may not be important to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but it is an extremely important theoretical book for everyone involved in the magic industry outside the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Because before this, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only handed over related technologies to other chambers of commerce, but this time, it was the first time that the theoretical system was truly shared.
Therefore, this book not only has a very strong practical significance, but also has a very strong symbolic significance.
The main reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is far ahead of other chambers of commerce in related technologies of magic machinery is that they have an absolute advantage in theoretical research.
The emergence of this book means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has begun to willingly share their magical mechanical theoretical system, which will finally give other chambers of commerce a chance to catch up with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And according to the information sent to Count Revere by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will publish this book as a regular publication in the future, it will allow Bonta City to be the first to own it, and will not publish it until half a year later. Really put it into print and distribution.
In other words, compared to other people and chambers of commerce, Bangta City had half a year longer.
This was obviously the special care given by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to Bangta City, so Count Revere was very grateful to Xu Yi and came to attend the book awarding ceremony in person.
However, when Count Revere arrived at the Bangta City Magic Industrial Skills Training Academy, he was surprised to find that the person present was not Xu Yi, but his wife Steele.
After glancing at Steele's obviously bulging belly, Count Revere suppressed the questions in his heart and congratulated Steele before asking about Xu Yi's whereabouts.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Earl. Xu Yi had to temporarily cancel his trip to attend the book awarding ceremony because of something urgent. However, he specifically asked me to attend the ceremony on his behalf and apologized to Lord Earl."
"Emergency? Is it serious?" Count Revere asked with a frown.
Given the strong influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the surrounding countries, what urgent matters could make Xu Yi temporarily change his planned itinerary
"It's not too serious, but he has to deal with it himself." Steele shook his head and replied.
"That's it..." Count Revere's tone revealed completely undisguised disappointment and a trace of worry.
Xu Yi has always been a person who abides by his agreements. He doesn't think there is anything urgent at the moment that would force Xu Yi to change his planned itinerary. So the current situation only represents a very serious possibility.
Xu Yi was unwilling to come to such a significant book-granting ceremony, so perhaps Bangta City was no longer so important in his mind. (To be continued...)
