Vol 2 Chapter 20: Reason for risotto

Road repairing is a very expensive thing.
On the earth, the construction of roads is mostly funded by the government, supplemented by private capital, and it is rare for private capital to be completely independent to build a road.
Because the road transportation network can be said to be a major artery of a country, the importance is self-evident. If it is not controlled by the government itself, it will easily lead to big problems.
If possible, Xu also hopes that the road network planned in his mind will be built by the Lanpari Kingdom itself.
But the fact is that the financial situation of the Kingdom of Lampari is indeed very bad. The major chambers of commerce and the great aristocrats in the kingdom may be rich, but the kingdom finance itself has no money.
Reflected in Bangta City, the head of the city, Satsuma, and the presidents of the big chambers of commerce can live an extremely luxurious life every day, but the financial income of Bangta City itself has no surplus.
It is obviously impossible to make such a distressed financial situation support the cost of road construction.
So Xu also gave up the idea of ​​letting Bangta City or Lampari Kingdom fund the construction of the road for the first time and changed it to build it.
The advice before Viscount Lesley’s departure can also be regarded as a warning to Xu Yi, which makes him have no confidence and expectation for the expansion of the factory that will continue to hold Chamber of Commerce on the territory of Viscount Lesley, or the Stark family. Therefore, it is imperative to develop the rain valley.
Although the location of the Rain Valley is good, it is just at the intersection of the Rainy Forest and the Hengduan Mountains. It can be easily connected with the Elf Dream of the Night Song Forest and several dwarf tribes including the Norma and Angola tribes. However, it is 50 kilometers away from Bangta City. If you want to develop, you must ensure transportation. Therefore, it is imperative to build a road leading to Bangta City.
The total length of the road is estimated to be about 50 to 55 kilometers. According to the price of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce cement concrete one square meter of 60 silver coins, a three-meter-wide, 15-cm thick building can be built to accommodate two carriages of parallel cement. Water concrete road. Including the cost of building the roadbed, the total price is about 130,000 to 150,000 gold coins.
It should be said that this price is not high for a road of more than 50 kilometers, but it is equivalent to all the current liquidity of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it is impossible for Xu to pay all the cash.
"That's not easy, according to the old method, pay with cement." President Cruise patted his chest and said to Xu Yidao: "We are all old friends. I trust Xu. You. Engineering, our Chamber of Commerce can help you do it first, the money can be paid slowly, I am not in a hurry, haha..."
Xu also glanced at him, thinking that he was not in a hurry.
According to the plan of President Cruise, I was afraid that he would not be allowed to spend more money on this road. In this way, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce can continue to monopolize the cement produced by the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce and continue to expand its leading position in the construction industry.
Of course, Xu will not oppose this model.
Cash is not willing to pay, and cement is an acceptable solution.
After the production of the cement workshop of the Norma tribe for a period of time, the dwarves gradually mastered the thorough production technology of cement, coupled with the gradual investment of related magic machinery such as the magic pulverizer developed by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now the cement production of the Norma tribe has been Significant improvements have been made from the previous monthly production of 3,000 tons of cement to the current 7,000 tons.
The other two cement workshops in cooperation with the Angolan tribe and the Norman tribe were put into use. The monthly cement production of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce will exceed 20,000 tons!
According to the price of one ton of cement and six gold coins agreed by President Xu and Cruise, it takes only one or two months. The new Feishang Chamber of Commerce can pay the total cost of the road project purely by cement.
Of course, if Xu also sells the cement publicly, the price will definitely exceed six gold coins and one ton, so he will get more profits.
However, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce now needs to carry out too many construction projects. It is inseparable from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce. Xu is also happy to rely on cement to maintain a good cooperative relationship between the two chambers of commerce.
In any case, the production of cement mainly uses the limestone and clay dug by the dwarves in the mountains of the Hengduan Mountains. The cost is almost negligible.
"Okay, just do it." Thinking of this, Xu also nodded, which confirmed the cooperation between the two sides. "Right, President Cruise, I heard that the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Morgan, found you and said that I want to cooperate with your Amrit Chamber of Commerce to conduct research on magic machinery?"
President Cruise swayed with a disdainful gesture: "Cut. This guy is more than looking for me. I am afraid that he has been looking for a somewhat competitive chamber in Bangta. But he promised that he has almost nothing because everyone I know that in the research of magic machinery, I am afraid that no one can match your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it is not as good as it is. It is better to do what you are good at. You say yes, Xu Huichang?"
"This is a good statement." Xu also nodded, but a sneer in his heart.
It is said that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce rejected the invitation of the Falcon Chamber of Commerce to cooperate in the study of magic machinery, but if the Amley Chamber of Commerce is completely interested in researching the magic machinery, it is not believed to be killed.
Now that the city of Bangta includes the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, which does not intend to cover up its intentions, almost all powerful chambers of commerce have begun to invest more and more in the study of magic machinery.
Not only for the huge profits brought by magic machinery, but also to be able to master the magic machinery related technology, and to develop magic machinery according to their own needs.
Now, in the big chamber of commerce in Bangta City, the magic machinery produced by the new Feishang Association has been used without exception.
Take the Falcao Chamber of Commerce as an example. Just last week, President Morgan also personally presented Xu’s order for 10,000 small magic drilling machines.
At the same time, President Morgan also showed a strong interest in the magic impact crusher that Xu also showed, and said that once the trial is successful, it will make a large number of orders to the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce again.
The price of a small magic drilling machine is seventy-eight gold coins, and 10,000 units can be a full set of seven hundred and eighty thousand gold coins.
The magic impact crusher Xu also proposed a price of up to 260 gold coins. If you want to order a lot, you will definitely spend a lot of gold coins.
If these two mine magic machinery Falcao Chamber of Commerce can develop and develop on their own, they will undoubtedly save a lot of gold coins.
In the same situation, apart from the Falcon Chamber of Commerce, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce is as good as other chambers of commerce.
All chambers of commerce want to get rid of this situation of being profitable by the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, but after using the magic machine, everyone has to admit it. These magical machines are so easy to use that they are inseparable from these magical machines.
Since it is inseparable, the only way left is to research and develop on its own, and strive to master the technology of producing these magical machines on its own, and is no longer subject to the new Flyer Chamber of Commerce.
Only so far, in addition to some achievements in the magic fan that Xu also took the initiative to hand over some of the technology. In other magical machines, especially large-scale magic machines, other chambers of commerce can be considered as no progress.
These thoughts flashed through my mind. Xu also resisted the funny laughter in his heart. He took the shoulder of President Cruise and said kindly: "Of course. We are good partners, if the Amrit Chamber of Commerce is really right. If you are interested in researching magic machinery, President Cruise can come directly to me and talk about it. As long as I can help, I will try my best to help."
"Really?" President Cruise suddenly blinked, then he woke up and smiled slyly. Shaking his head: "No, our Amley Chamber of Commerce is still honestly building a house and building it. Magic machinery is a complicated thing. You can only play with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. I will not. Let's make this fun."
Xu also smiled a little, no longer continued this topic, and instead discussed with President Cruise the specific plans and plans for the construction of this road.
After talking with President Cruise, it was nearing the twilight time. Xu also refused the invitation of President Cruise to dinner. He walked to a large courtyard in the south of Bangta City.
In view of the joining of five students of Evita and Akali. The small building where the two had lived before was obviously not suitable for the Magic Research Institute, so Xu also bought the courtyard in the name of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
The courtyard was the original residence of a Viscount in the city of Bang Ta, because the prince left the city of Bang Ta, and this was empty and was bought by Xu.
The courtyard covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, including three small buildings and several huts. In addition to allowing the ten employees of the current Magic Research Institute to conduct research work at the same time, it also provided five students from Evita and Akali. Additional accommodation.
Xu also entered the courtyard gate. Just smelled a scent.
Smell the smell, Xu also immediately affirmed that dinner tonight must be Evita's craft.
Sure enough, just walked into the hall behind the main entrance. I saw that Evita was unbuttoning the apron at the waist and preparing to sit in the house.
Seeing Xu also suddenly approached, a group of people suddenly lost.
After a while, Akali jumped up and excitedly said to Xu: "The president, how come you?"
Xu also smiled slightly: "I have no place to eat, so I ran for dinner."
After glanced at the table full of dishes, Xu also pointed to one of the dishes with some blackened dishes and smiled: "Let me guess, this dish should be made by Akali, right? ?"
When Akaliton stunned Xu Yi’s eyes, he said coldly: "Sorry, the president will grow up, you guessed it wrong."
"Oh? Is there anyone else besides you, can you make a dish that should be used for stir-fry?" Xu also pretended to be surprised.
The people at the table suddenly laughed.
"President, you really guessed wrong. This dish is made by Cecilia, but it is not a matter of Akali." Bella smiled.
"Ah?" Xu also looked at the blushing Cecilia. I really couldn’t think of this taciturn. He thought that even the girls who were more than twice as quiet as Evita would actually cook more than Akali. rotten. "This is really amazing. I thought that the quiet girls would cook like Evita, and there are exceptions."
Cecilia’s head hangs a little lower, just holding the bread in her hand and not saying a word.
"The president, you should not bully Cecilia, she is very shy." Claire with a black natural curly hair smiled: "In case she can't think of it tonight, then ran into my room and cried, then I can find the president and you have to pay for it."
Cecilia jerked her head up and slammed her hand on Claire's shoulder, shouting: "You will cry!"
Seeing the appearance of Cecilia, everyone couldn't help but laugh even louder.
I found that Lian Xiuqi, who has never had a good face, couldn’t help but sneer, and Xu couldn’t help but feel gratified.
It seems that after this period of work and getting along, these young people have fully adapted to life here.
And because of their vitality and talent, the new Flyer will be able to develop amazing magical machines again and again.
These young people may not be clear about themselves, but Xu is sure.
As long as they work hard enough, they will become powerful magic mechanical engineers in the future and become a vital part of the magic industry system.
Looking at the young face, Xu also suddenly found a problem.
"Right, Wella? Why didn't you see her? Did she go out to eat?" Xu asked.
In order to facilitate the research work, the hospital was bought behind, and Xu also let Weiner move from the office of the factory to work here.
Because Wella is now alone in Bangta City, her food and shelter and Cecilia and others are settled in a courtyard.
"Vina sister went out before dinner, saying that she was going to meet someone, but did not say when to come back." Evita answered.
"See a person?" Xu also wondered.
After returning from Saltan City, during this time, Weiner was not even willing to go out of the door. She didn't want to see the acquaintances in Bangta City. How did she suddenly go to see someone today?
"Sister Weina may go out to meet her boyfriend, we will not wait for her." Akali waved her hand. "President, you can sit down and eat, just as Evita does a little more today. But why don't you go back to dinner today? Vivian?"
"There is activity in the college today, Vivian stayed in the college for dinner and didn't come back. Otherwise, why do you think I am coming here for dinner?" Xu also replied casually and sat down with doubts.
"This is not right. If you want to find a place to eat rice, you should go to Stil's house. You are now Steele's boyfriend, go to her for a meal, and Steele must be very welcome." Bella Road .
Sitting in the opposite side of Xu Yi, Qiu Qi was stiff, looked up and looked at Xu Yi, and looked at a complicated look in his eyes, and then lowered his head and ate quietly.
"I thought, but Steele went to Kalmar City today to give us a publicity for the Chamber of Commerce. I still can't have a candlelight dinner with the Camilla Magi?"
The people laughed again.
The laughter just stopped, and the footsteps suddenly sounded.
Xu also looked back and saw that Weiner and one came side by side.
After seeing the person next to Weina, Xu also suddenly glimpsed.
"Rem? How come you are back?"
