Chapter 3 Infrastructure Promotion Department

Viscount Rexos looked at the greeting card in his hand, full of doubts in his heart.

"Infrastructure Promotion Department of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? What the hell kind of place is this?"

Turning over the greeting card, seeing the emblem of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce stamped on the back of the card, Viscount Rexos hesitated, and asked the butler beside him: "You said that there is another person who came with him who used to be here?" Someone who worked here as a servant?"

The butler nodded slightly: "Yes, Lord Viscount. This servant is called Kompany. When he was in the house, he was very serious and responsible, so I still have some impressions. He is from our town. I I guess it should be fine.”

"That's it..." Viscount Rexos flipped through the greeting card twice and waved his hand. "Then invite them in."

"yes."

After a while, Joshua and Kompany, led by the butler, walked into the living room of Viscount Rexos's manor on the outskirts of the small town of Arafat.

Seeing Viscount Rexos sitting on the main seat, Kompany immediately saluted him respectfully.

"The villain has seen Lord Viscount."

Joshua An looked at Viscount Rexos with great interest, and then bowed slightly.

"I have seen Lord Viscount."

Viscount Rhysos glanced at Kompany, and immediately lost interest in sizing him up. He turned his head and scanned Joshuaan up and down. He saw that he was well-dressed, elegant, and with a confident smile on his face, which showed that he was not an ordinary man. character, he pointed to the guest seat next to him: "Please sit down."

After Joshua sat down, Kompany hesitated for a moment, then carefully sat down next to the chair. But kept looking down at the ground. He didn't dare to look up at Viscount Rexos.

in his mind. The mayor, Viscount Rexos, is already considered a big shot. He never thought that one day he would be treated as a guest by the mayor.

Seeing the two sitting down, Viscount Rexos groaned for a moment, raised the greeting card in his hand, and asked Joshua: "You claim to be the manager of the infrastructure promotion department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, why have I never heard of it?" Have you ever had such a department in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Joshua An smiled slightly: "Because this department was only established in August last year. Before that, it was only in trial operation in the Principality of Standing and the Kingdom of Lampari. This year, it is the first time to enter the Kingdom of Falk. Sir Viscount, before you It’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of it.”

"Really?" Viscount Rexos looked at Joshua suspiciously. "Then what is this... Infrastructure Construction Promotion Department, what exactly does it do? The name sounds really weird."

Joshua took out a document from the bag he brought with him and handed it to Viscount Rexos.

"The so-called infrastructure promotion department is the department that is mainly responsible for the promotion of infrastructure construction. I am one of the promotion managers of this department. I am currently mainly responsible for the promotion of the Principality of Drake and the Kingdom of Falk."

Viscount Rexos took the document and glanced at it, but didn't look at it carefully. He frowned and asked, "Then what kind of infrastructure are you talking about? Why is your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce promoting it?"

"Infrastructure construction is a very broad topic. If it is subdivided, it can be roughly divided into five categories: transportation, energy supply, education and training, medical care, and sports culture. If it is further subdivided, it is specifically..."

"Okay, okay. Don't subdivide it." Viscount Rexos frowned and waved his hands again and again. "I said. Why do I sound so confused about the things you said? I can barely understand transportation, isn't it the slogan that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Amley Chamber of Commerce have been saying, what is it called? Oh right, 'If you want to be rich, build roads first'? Right?"

"Yes. But transportation is not just about building roads, it also includes river transportation and sea transportation, as well as railway transportation that our chamber of commerce is currently studying and air transportation that should be implemented in the future. And in order to ensure the smooth flow of these transportation , the necessary follow-up maintenance and logistics creation is also a problem that must be solved, so..."

"Stop!" Viscount Rexos interrupted Joshua again. "You have said so much, what is the connection with your coming to me this time?"

Joshua pointed to the document handed to Viscount Rexos with a smile.

"Master Viscount, this is the cooperation plan formulated by our department to promote the infrastructure construction in various places, please read it."

Viscount Rhysos frowned and glanced at him, before seriously flipping through the document in his hand.

Although the document was not thick, it took Viscount Rexos half an hour to read it all.

After reading it, he pondered for a while, and then said to Joshua again: "I have two questions."

"Excuse me."

"The first question, from the perspective of this plan, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will help your partners complete various infrastructure constructions, including helping them build roads, hospitals, and even schools... Who will pay for that? Even if it’s just our small town, if you want to get all the things mentioned in this plan, you will have to spend at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins? Listen to what you just said, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce It’s not just in our place to make these things, so no matter how rich your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is, I’m afraid you can’t handle it?” Viscount Rexos asked suspiciously.

"Master Viscount, your concerns are very reasonable. Indeed, it is impossible for our Chamber of Commerce to have such ample financial resources to cover all expenses..."

"Do you want me to pay?" Viscount Rexos looked at Joshuaan warily. "Tell you, don't look at me as the mayor and viscount, but you asked me to hand out hundreds of thousands of gold coins at once... That's too much for others."

"Of course I won't let you, Lord Viscount, bear the burden." Joshua was not at all surprised by Viscount Rexos's reaction. He had seen too many such things when he was promoting in various places before. "In terms of capital investment, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is responsible for part of it, and the rest will be raised through other means. In addition, your country's parliament will also provide part of the financial support. As for the viscount, you only need to give some support when necessary. "

Viscount Rexos was stunned: "You said the Kingdom Council will also pay? Have you obtained the approval of the Kingdom Council?"

"Yes." Joshua rummaged through the bag again, took out another document and handed it to Viscount Rexos.

Seeing the emblem representing the Kingdom Council of the Falk Kingdom on this document, Viscount Rexos’ expression became serious, and he took the document from Joshuaan’s hand and read it carefully twice to confirm that there should be no After falsifying, he couldn't help but glared at Yue Xiu'an in dissatisfaction.

Since this guy has an official document issued by the Kingdom Council, why didn't he take it out immediately? It made him suspicious for a long time here.

"Cough... Now that the Kingdom Council has clearly expressed its support, I will of course follow the Kingdom Council's opinion. But..." Viscount Rexos deliberately elongated his voice. "Joshua Ann... Manager, what are you going to do specifically? If it is as you said just now, what kind of transportation will be able to..."

"Energy supply." Joshua An gently reminded.

"Yes, if the energy supply and all those things are produced, I'm afraid it can't be done in a day or two, right? There must be a sequence, right?"

"Of course." Joshua nodded with a smile. "Master Viscount, based on my inspection of the town of Arafat in the past two days, I feel that... since the town of Arafat is now connected by a road, there is no need to worry about other aspects of infrastructure construction. First, it needs to be solved. The problem is actually mainly focused on education and training.”

"Education and training?" Viscount Rexos looked at Joshua with some doubts. "What do you mean by the education and training you're talking about?"

"It's very simple." Joshua pulled Kompany who was sitting next to him and had been silent. "You see, this is my wife's brother-in-law Kompany. He now has two children. The older one is ten years old this year, and the younger one is almost six years old. But they have never been to school since they were young, and they have not accepted any training related to education and vocational skills.”

"Isn't this normal?" Viscount Rexos wondered.

This Kompany looked like an ordinary civilian, how could he let his children go to private education.

Regardless of whether he has that much money, first of all, he has no such qualifications at all.

Receiving education is a power that only nobles can have!

"No, it's not normal." Joshua straightened his face and shook his head seriously for the first time. "Viscount Rexos, a person who has been educated since he was a child, and a person who has not received the corresponding education, the value that can be created when he grows up is completely different. If you go to the town of Arafat, you can develop better , People's lives become more prosperous, so it is most necessary to increase investment in education."

Viscount Rexos was confused.

Letting a few civilian children receive so-called education and training can make the town of Alafau develop better? Make people's lives richer?

There is no such exaggeration.

Viscount Rexos didn't hide his thoughts at all, so Joshua saw the suspicious look on his face, and of course understood what he was thinking.

However, he did not intend to convince Viscount Rexos simply by words, the purpose of coming this time was only to obtain his approval.

"Master Viscount, maybe you can't understand the meaning of this matter now, but I believe you will understand in the future. In addition, our chamber of commerce has formally reached an infrastructure promotion cooperation agreement with the Falk Kingdom Council. Now after my inspection , decided to use the small town of Arafat as the first trial of our chamber of commerce’s plan in the Kingdom of Falk, and I hope that you, as the mayor of the small town of Arafat, will give you enough support for this plan.”

Viscount Rexos looked at the document signed by the Kingdom Council in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I will have a detailed discussion with you after I send an official document to the parliament for consultation."

"Okay." Joshua smiled and got up. "Then, Lord Viscount, I will visit again in half a month, and I will have a detailed discussion with you then." (To be continued...)
