Chapter 61 I Want to Be the President
Today is May 7th. It is not a special day for the Principality of Standing or the entire continent of Sainz, because it is neither a festival nor any special event. It is no different from ordinary days. .
But for Xu Yi, this day was a bit special.
Because... this is the day he traveled to this world.
Moreover, May 7th of this year happened to be twenty years since he traveled to this world.
I remember this day ten years ago, that is, when Xu Yi had just traveled to this world for ten years, Xu Yi deliberately came to a clean place by himself at that time, calmed down and stayed alone for a while, To commemorate my years on earth.
However, this year, which has passed through twenty years, he doesn't have much meaning to remember it.
After staying in this world for a long time, when he thinks of the years on earth, he will not even have any sentimental emotions at all, except for a little miss for his relatives on earth.
Now he is already a complete Sainz mainlander, who has his family, his career, and his ideals here.
Even when he thinks about it a lot of times, he will feel that compared to being an ordinary researcher in a research institute on earth and living a mediocre life, it is more difficult to travel to this world after traveling to this world. It is more meaningful and fulfilling to strive to help the world create a complete industrial system and to achieve full industrialization.
You see, walking on the streets now, you can see flat roads and magic locomotives running fast on the roads everywhere, indicating that people in this world have changed dramatically in their transportation methods.
On both sides of the road, tall, solid buildings with more than ten floors or even higher can be seen everywhere. With the various household magic machines in the rooms, it marks the same huge change in the living conditions of people in this world.
And the people walking on the street are full of energy, their faces are glowing red, and they look extremely healthy, which shows that people have improved their diet.
As for the clothes they wear, they are even more colorful. There are various styles, which are completely different from the gray and white clothes that Xu Yi saw when he traveled to this world just now.
It can be seen that people have also made great changes in clothing.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the four basic needs of human beings have been greatly improved in these years.
resulting in these improvements. There is no doubt that it is the credit of the magic industry brought by Xu Yi.
At the very least, in countries such as the Principality of Standing and the southwest corner of the Sainz continent, when people mention the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, they can only praise it, thanking the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the huge changes they will bring to their lives.
Xu Yi was very satisfied with this, so he decided to do it on this special day. Pause for a moment to move forward.
"Dad, look, it's Mom!" Freya suddenly pointed to the front right and shouted loudly.
Xu Yi looked in the direction Freya was pointing at, and saw Steele's figure projected onto a huge magical phantom.
"Well, it's mom. Freya, let me test you, do you know where mom is now?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Freya nodded her chin, tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands vigorously.
"I know! Mom went to the Kingdom of Lampari three days ago. Aunt Seweney is with her, so she must be in Anvilmar now, right?"
"Yes, your logical ability is good." Xu Yi praised her with a smile, and looked up at Steele who was reading a statement while maintaining a smile in the magical illusion.
Steele did go to the Kingdom of Lampari three days ago. She went to the Kingdom of Lampari this time to discuss with the Kingdom of Lampari to increase the coverage of the magical phantom projection device, and strive to achieve Lampari's Not only all cities in the Li Kingdom, but even all towns can see magical illusions.
Judging by the fact that she will now stand with Seweney and read the statement. This negotiation between her and the Lampari Kingdom should go very smoothly.
Of course, at present, all major cities in the Lampari Kingdom already have magical phantom projection devices, and they have received unanimous praise. Now the New Moon Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay for it to increase coverage. Naturally, the Lampari Kingdom has no reason to refuse.
After all, this thing can bring a richer entertainment life to the people of the Lampari Kingdom. At the same time, it can also allow the Lampari Kingdom to announce some upcoming policies to the public through the regularly broadcast "News Weekly", which is far more efficient. It is much higher than sending out a copy of the official document, and then letting the City Lord's Mansion of each city find a way to publicize it.
According to what Steele said before he left, because of the great effect of the magical phantom projection device arranged by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, it is not only the Kingdom of Lampari. In addition, many countries are negotiating this cooperation with the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
Even the two empires have already extended an olive branch to the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, and warmly welcome the New Moon Chamber of Commerce to investigate and invest in the two empires.
The reason why the New Moon Chamber of Commerce is so sought after by all countries is that, in addition to the huge publicity convenience that the magic phantom projection device can bring, there is another very important reason, that is, no country needs to invest additionally in it, because the New Moon The chamber of commerce arranges magic phantom projection devices in various cities all by itself, no other investment is required.
This approach is simply stupid to many people, because even if the huge cost of the large-scale magic phantom projection device that needs to be installed in each city is not discussed, it is only to maintain the management and operation of the magic phantom projection device in each city. It takes a lot of money to manpower.
What the New Moon Chamber of Commerce did was like throwing gold coins into the water in many people's eyes.
Many people even secretly speculated that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce must be behind the New Moon Chamber of Commerce to provide support, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the New Moon Chamber of Commerce to support such a huge investment.
And as the New Moon Chamber of Commerce made this booth bigger and bigger, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could only continue to invest money in this bottomless pit.
But there's no way around it, who made Miss Steele, the chairman of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, the most cherished wife of Xu Yi, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, Xu Yi knew very well that these people were wrong.
In terms of investment in this area, the New Moon Chamber of Commerce not only did not lose money, but instead made a lot of money.
For the vast majority of people, the way the chamber of commerce makes money is nothing more than selling goods to earn profits from it.
A model like the New Moon Chamber of Commerce only invests a lot of manpower and materials, but does not see any income at all, it is simply burning money.
But they don't know. The New Moon Merchant Guild actually sells products, which are all kinds of magic phantom film modules.
As the New Moon Chamber of Commerce produced more and more magical illusion films, the income of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce in this area also increased accordingly.
According to Steele, for the whole of last year. The New Moon Chamber of Commerce's profit in this regard has exceeded 700,000 gold coins.
Although this number does not seem to be much, but considering that the profit in this area is actually very stable, and with the gradual popularization of magic phantom projectors, the prospects will become better and better, so it is actually a very good profit point.
And this is only a small part of the profits of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, in fact, the entire year of last year. The combined profits of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce have exceeded 8.7 million gold coins.
Although compared with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's terrifying profit of more than 140 million gold coins last year, this profit is obviously not enough, but it can't be regarded as a loss-making business anyway.
Among the profits of 8.7 million gold coins, advertising revenue actually accounted for the bulk.
That's right, an ad.
The large-scale magical phantom projection devices set up by the New Moon Chamber of Commerce in each city will play phantom movies at a fixed time every night, but outside of the night, it is not completely idle, but will continue to scroll and play advertisements.
These advertisements are all short phantom films produced by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce in response to the requirements of various chambers of commerce and organizations as well as special individuals. After the broadcast, they are equally interesting and intuitive. So the publicity works well.
When the New Moon Chamber of Commerce just launched this advertising service, only Xu Yi, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, entrusted the New Moon Chamber of Commerce to make several advertising-like phantom videos to promote the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Moon Chamber of Commerce paid 300,000 gold coins for advertising.
Later, after other chambers of commerce saw the great effectiveness of this kind of advertising, they followed suit.
There are as many as seventy-six chambers of commerce that have signed advertising agreements with the New Moon Chamber of Commerce, covering almost all known industries.
Through these advertisements, the New Moon Chamber of Commerce earned a huge profit of 6.17 million gold coins last year.
Now that Steele went to Lampari Kingdom to sign a new promotion agreement, the coverage of the New Moon Chamber of Commerce's large-scale magic phantom projection device will be further expanded, and the income from this will naturally increase further.
Xu also believed that after the New Moon Chamber of Commerce installed large-scale magic phantom projection devices in every city on the Sainz continent. The New Moon Chamber of Commerce's annual advertising revenue alone is jaw-dropping.
"Dad, Mom is so beautiful!" Freya suddenly looked at Steele on the magic illusion and exclaimed loudly.
Xu Yi laughed and rubbed her head: "Of course, she is your mother. But Freya is not bad either. You are also very beautiful."
Freya shook her head with a serious expression: "No, Dad, I'm just good-looking now, but I'm not pretty."
Xu Yi was stunned: "What does it mean to be good-looking but not beautiful? Isn't that the same meaning?"
"Of course it's different." Freya shook her head again, her blonde hair with a few strands of dark brown swayed as her head swayed, making her look more lively.
She is fourteen years old this year. It had been developed as early as last year, and now it has completely grown into a big girl.
Relying on the genes inherited from Steele, Freya can be said to be a little beauty with a standard that can hardly pick out any dead spots, and her rate of turning heads when she walks on the street is absolutely infinitely close to 100%.
However, she now says that she is only good-looking, but not beautiful, which is really strange.
"Then tell me, why is it different?" Xu Yi asked a little funny.
"Hmm..." Freya tilted her head and thought for a while. "Mom is beautiful because...she has a good temperament. Well, it's her temperament. Dad, look, my mother looks full of confidence and charm at a glance, and people can't help but listen to her. ,do you think so?"
"Really?" Xu Yi looked at Steele in the magical illusion, but found nothing special.
Perhaps it was because he and Steele were already old couples, and they were so familiar with each other that they couldn't have too many special feelings.
On the contrary, since Freya has just grown into a sensible girl, she will be more sensitive to this aspect.
"I understand why!" Freya suddenly clapped her hands vigorously again, shouting with a look of sudden realization. "Dad, the reason why mom looks so beautiful... oh no, it should be said that she has temperament is because she is the president! So dad, I want to be the president too!"
"Ah?" Xu Yi looked at Steele in astonishment, completely unable to understand the magnitude of her thinking. "Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"
"Because I wanted to be the chairman since I was a child!" Freya said naturally. "Dad, since I was a child, I thought you were very imposing. Now that I saw my mother like this, I made up my mind. I want to be the president! Dad, didn't you ask me what I want to do in the future? Now I have decided! I I want to succeed you and become the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!"
Not to mention how weird the expression on Xu Yi's face was.
He had asked Freya about this topic many times before, and he could get different answers from her each time.
However, today he didn't ask at all, and Freya suddenly popped out this sentence.
I hope she didn't come on a whim...(~^~)
