The Duke of Windsor's sudden change of attitude surprised Xu Yi, but at the same time he felt it was reasonable.
In the final analysis, no one will have trouble with interests.
The magic industry has developed to a certain extent in the Candela Empire, and everyone can see the huge benefits hidden in this emerging industry.
Tural Province was originally only the last coastal province in the Candela Empire and was famous for its poverty. However, after the introduction of a large number of magic machines and the accompanying magic industry through developed maritime transportation, it immediately changed from the bottom one to the bottom. It has become one of the top five developed provinces in terms of fiscal revenue.
Moreover, the benefits brought by the magic industry in Tular Province are not only reflected in financial revenue, but also in changing the appearance of the entire Tural Province.
The most important one is the large number of job opportunities it has brought to Tular Province.
Because these chambers of commerce involved in the magic industry are almost all chambers of commerce that have extremely high manpower requirements, when a large number of factories are opened, almost everyone with able-bodied hands and feet in Tular Province can find a job. Don't worry about making a living.
Even the manpower in Tular Province cannot meet the needs of these chambers of commerce and factories, so that countless people from several neighboring provinces flock to seek job opportunities in Tular Province.
Many of these people come from the southern provinces.
After witnessing with his own eyes the huge impact that the magic industry has had on Tural Province, if the Duke of Windsor still doesn't know how to make changes, he would not be worthy of sitting in the position of Governor of the Southern Province for so many years.
The only thing that worried him was actually the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the two sides had a deep hatred before. This time he came to the door rashly. I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not agree to cooperate so smoothly.
However, Xu Yi's attitude was far beyond the Duke of Windsor's expectations.
The Duke of Windsor hadn't even waited for him to speak. Xu Yi actually revealed his purpose of coming, showed a very enthusiastic attitude, and offered to let both parties cooperate.
Xu Yi was so proactive and enthusiastic that even if the Duke of Windsor still had some grudges in his heart, they were instantly forgotten.
He has conducted on-the-spot inspections in Tural Province and several surrounding provinces for nearly half a year. He has deeply realized the huge impact that the magic industry can bring, and is convinced that this new gadget brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will definitely Hidden is a powerful force that can change the entire Sainz continent.
If he doesn't make random changes, then he may completely lose the opportunity. It may even be eliminated by the times.
As the patriarch of the Windsor family, he is also the governor of the southern province of the Candela Empire. If he does not know how to change, he may become a historical sinner of the Windsor family and the southern province.
With the idea of conforming to the trend of the times, mere personal hatred is nothing at all.
So Xu Yi only stayed in the Tular Province for three days, but he had already signed a private agreement with the Duke of Peresco and the Duke of Windsor at the same time.
According to this agreement, which will not be made public, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with the Tural Province and the Southern Province at the same time.
Of course, because of the somewhat awkward relationship between the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and to take care of the Duke of Windsor's face, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not directly invest in these two provinces. Instead, they will first use an intermediary to establish a chamber of commerce in the Candela Empire that nominally has nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and belongs to the Candela Empire, called the "Tunan Chamber of Commerce."
This Tunan Chamber of Commerce is actually just a leather bag company. The funds are fully injected by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is actually responsible for the various investment businesses of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the two major provinces.
According to the agreement, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will build a farmland magic machinery factory in Tular Province through the Tunan Chamber of Commerce to exclusively supply continuous farmland magic machinery to the two provinces.
In the future, two small magic industrial bases will be built in the Tural Province and the Southern Province respectively. In addition to the main production of household magic machinery, some factory magic machinery will also be produced, mainly for use in the two major provinces. infrastructure renovation projects.
This is one of Xu Yi's requests to the two dukes.
He made it clear to the two dukes that in order to successfully develop the magic industry and truly enjoy the convenience brought by the magic industry, the first thing that needs to be solved is the backward infrastructure problem in the two major provinces.
Among these infrastructures, the most important one is road transportation.
Therefore, not long after Xu Yi left, President Cruz of the Armley Chamber of Commerce was invited by Duke Perezco and also entered the Tural Province, and the southern province where Duke Perezco and Duke of Windsor stayed. Representatives signed a road construction agreement.
This agreement is different from the private agreement signed by Xu Yi before. It is an official agreement officially stamped with the seal of the governor of Tular Province and the Southern Province.
According to the agreement, Tular Province and Southern Province will invest 1.2 million gold coins and 1.7 million gold coins respectively to build four highways connecting the two provinces, with a total mileage of more than 1,200 kilometers.
Once these four roads are built, goods transported by sea from the southern part of Tular Province, that is, from several ports on the southern coast of the Kandla Empire, will be directly connected to convenient roads and can smoothly enter Tular Province and the southern province.
Similarly, various materials and commodities in the two major provinces can also be easily connected to the seaport by road, and then transported to other places by sea.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of supporting highway transportation, the two major provinces also ordered 200 large freight magic locomotives from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, given that the Duke of Windsor had clearly announced that no items related to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would be allowed to enter the southern province, the two hundred taels of large freight magic motorcycles ordered by the southern province from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were affiliated with a company that was nominally owned by Under the name of an unknown chamber of commerce in Tular Province.
As for how this chamber of commerce can drive the large freight magic locomotive into the southern province without arousing suspicion or questioning, that is something that the Duke of Windsor should consider, and it is not Xu Yi's turn to have a headache...
While President Cruz was still negotiating with representatives of the two major provinces in Tural Province to build the four highways, Xu Yi had already returned to his private estate by the sea at the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After returning home, the first thing Xu Yi did was to go to the huge map of Sainz's continent hanging on the wall of the study.
He picked up the pen and first painted the Tular Province in the southern part of the Kandra Empire red. Then he clicked a few times on the area representing the southern province. After a slight hesitation, he did not paint the entire area red. , but just randomly clicked some red dots.
He was reassured about the Tular Province, convinced that Duke Peresco was sincere enough to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to jointly develop the magic industry. However, Xu Yi was not so confident about the southern province.
Although the Duke of Windsor also showed enough sincerity, in view of his previous performance, Xu Yi felt that it would take some time to observe.
After painting these two patches of different shades of red, Xu Yi looked at the entire Candela Empire on the map and found that many parts of the Candela Empire, which occupied a large area on this map, had been dyed The color red shows that the magic industry is developing extremely rapidly in the Candela Empire, and it is no longer the extremely difficult situation it was at the beginning.
And Xu is also the person who believes most firmly in the magic power of the magic industry. He believes that when everyone in the Candela Empire understands the benefits brought by the magic industry, the Candela Empire will inevitably fall completely.
This is the trend of the times, and no one or country can resist it.
Moving his eyes away from the Kandra Empire, Xu Yi looked to the north at the Malo Empire, which also occupied a large area, with an even more satisfied expression.
Although there are not as many red areas in the Malo Empire as in the Candela Empire, the color is much darker, which proves that in Xu Yi's mind, the level of magic industry development in these places in the Malo Empire is deeper than that in the Candela Empire. Much more.
The reason for this situation is that the Maro Empire has a special geographical situation and there are not many places suitable for the development of magic industry. Second, because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce entered the Malo Empire under different circumstances, it mainly expanded with the Marquis of Southgaard as the center point, which made the development situation particularly concentrated but more in-depth.
Of course, if we talk about the development of the two empires, the Malo Empire is obviously much stronger than the Kandra Empire because of the presence of Marquis Southgaide as the leader and the positive attitude of the Malo Empire official.
Currently, the Malo Empire has basically achieved a sufficient supply of farmland magic machinery. With the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, more than 30% of the farmland in the Malo Empire during this autumn harvest has adopted the new farmland magic machinery harvesting mode. Overall efficiency has increased more than ten times compared to previous years.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Malo Empire has made it clear to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that it hopes to obtain technical support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the manufacturing of farmland magic machinery to help the Malo Empire fully implement farmland mechanization work transformation.
For this reason, the Malo Empire even offered to reduce tariffs by 5% on all products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Don’t underestimate this 5% tariff.
Last year, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's various products, including farm magic machinery, entered the Malo Empire, with a total value of up to 17 million gold coins.
Although the tariff levied by the Maro Empire on various magic machines is not very high, it is 54%.
But if the tariff is reduced by 5% on this basis, it will be equivalent to saving more than 800,000 gold coins for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
This may not seem like much, but if you consider that the total value of various products imported by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Malo Empire next year is very likely to exceed 30 million gold coins, it is a number that cannot be ignored.
What's more, because the tariffs have been reduced, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can also adjust the selling price slightly, making it easier to promote within the Maro Empire, and making the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more competitive with the products of other magic machinery chambers of commerce.
If we consider these aspects, the benefits gained by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are even more amazing.
However, in Xu Yi's view, this condition is still far from enough... (To be continued...)
