Chapter 100 Orchid and Herbs Build a Community

Sevigny came to Bonta City many times this year, but except for the first time, he only stayed for a few days and left every time he came.

This time is no exception.

After three days of negotiation with Maiconli, Sahas and Xu Yi, Sevigny and the two left Bangta City.

This negotiation actually did not have a formal result, because Sevigny did not reject the conditions proposed by Xu Yi, but he never let go.

However, Xu Yi behaved very generously. Although Sevigny never agreed to the conditions he proposed, he still assured Sevigny that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce would fulfill the previously signed agreement and deliver a series of magic powers required by the military arsenal on time. Machine tools and equipment, and the contract for those slaves was prepared the day before the three of Sevigny left, and a transfer agreement was signed with Sevigny on the spot.

From the date of the signing of the agreement, those slaves who will go to work in the arsenal can already be regarded as the private property of Sevigny.

Xu Yi's approach was so straightforward that both Sevigny and McConley were a little embarrassed.

If it wasn't for the conditions proposed by Xu Yi, they really couldn't agree, I'm afraid that Sevigny and McConley would not have the slightest hesitation to sign the final agreement.

In fact, neither Sevigny nor McConley knew that Xu Yi proposed this condition and never expected them to agree.

According to Xu Yi's understanding, not only all iron ore mines in the Lampari Kingdom are basically under the control of the Joseph family, but according to the agreement between the first king of the kingdom and the Joseph family, even if the kingdom's military expands Lampari in the future The territory of the Kingdom of Li, then the land that was beaten down would also be regarded as the territory of the kingdom, and the iron ore in it would still be considered part of the agreement.

So even if Sevigny and McConley wanted to agree to Xu Yi's condition, they couldn't get around the mountain of the Joseph family.

But Xu Yi deliberately put forward such conditions that they knew they couldn't agree to, and to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than asking the sky to pay back the money on the spot.

Sevigny and McConley did not agree to Xu Yi's conditions, because the conditions proposed by Xu Yi included iron ore and had to face the obstruction of the Joseph family.

But Xu Yi's condition refers to all minerals, and all minerals. But not only iron ore, but also various non-ferrous metal ore.

Although the Joseph family controls the iron mines in the Lampari Kingdom, and also controls almost all the copper mines under the tacit consent of the successive kings, other non-ferrous metal mines are not valued in the entire Sainz Continent. Naturally, it was not taken seriously by the Joseph family.

Xu Yi didn't seem to have that much resistance to obtaining the mining rights or even the dominance of non-ferrous metal veins.

Of course, if you want to mine under the eyes of the Joseph family in the Kingdom of Lampari, you will obviously encounter all kinds of difficulties, so although Xu Yi clearly has the distribution map of the various mineral veins provided by the five dwarves , but the first target is the non-ferrous metal veins on the black rice wasteland.

And the second goal, he simply put it abroad.

In fact, the Kingdom of Lampari and the Kingdom of Sark have been in constant disputes on the northern border. The territories controlled by both sides are advancing and retreating. After so many years, no one party has really controlled any area for a long time, let alone really turned the other party's territory into its own.

Therefore, the condition proposed by Xu Yi, after careful consideration by the three of Sevigny, found that it was actually similar to empty talk.

So the three strongly opposed Xu Yi's proposal at first. Later, he said that he could continue to negotiate, but he needed to go back and study it carefully before making a decision.

This result was within Xu Yi's expectations, and it was the result that he had planned.

His purpose is not to be able to directly achieve the final goal this time, but to hope that through the conditions put forward this time, the Kingdom's military can include the new flight chamber of commerce into its own consideration. If it encounters similar things in the future, it can be considered. Go to Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So when they said goodbye to the three of Sevigny, the three of Sevigny were all smiles because Xu Yi agreed readily. Xu Yi didn't see the slightest bit of loss, but also showed a bright smile.

After watching the convoy of Sevigny and his party go away, Kennard, who also came to see him off, suddenly whispered to Xu Yi, "President, what do you think of Her Royal Highness?"

Xu Yi was slightly taken aback: "How about what?"

"That is to say... Do you think Her Royal Highness is a... um, someone worth following?" Kennard asked with some flickering words.

Xu Yi looked at Kennard, who had an unnatural expression, and smiled lightly: "I don't know whether to follow or not. But as far as I know about Her Royal Highness, she is a person who has the same ideals as me. We They all hope to improve the lives of people in the kingdom with the power in their hands, so they are working in the same direction. I think as long as Her Royal Highness does not change her mind, I will always support her."

Kennard did not expect Xu Yi to answer so clearly, and looked at Xu Yi for a while in surprise. Zheng Se nodded and said, "I also have the same pursuit, so President, I will try my best to help you."

Xu Yi laughed and waved his hand: "Okay, we are people who do real things, don't talk about these empty words. You said you would try to help me, but what about the salary structure adjustment plan you said? It's more than half the past. It's been almost three and a half months, and I haven't seen the plan. Are you telling me now that you've worked hard?"

Kennard immediately called out with a bitter face: "President, you can't blame me. I was about to finish the statistics, and I was going to make a detailed plan. I didn't expect that the great magician Camilla suddenly made such an amazing decision, which led to There has been a huge change in the employees in our chamber of commerce, and all the statistics I did before were in vain."

"Then when do you think this plan will be handed over to me?" Xu Yi continued to ask without any hesitation.

"This..." Kennard pondered for a moment and sighed: "Now, because the Chamber of Commerce has recruited a large number of magicians who can complete the magic circle drawing and research work, and the order has increased greatly, so I will definitely recruit a lot more next time. Workers are increasing production. Then it may take some time for this salary structure statistics to be completed, and when will the plan be presented... I'm afraid I can't be sure right now."

"Then you should also give an approximate time, right?" Xu Yi said. "In addition, the salary structure adjustment does not need to wait until all workers are recruited before proceeding. The salary standard for these types of work should be determined before recruiting workers. After the recruited workers enter the factory, this standard can be directly applied."

"Well, that's what I thought too, so I've been doing it these days." Kennard took a breath and said confidently, "Give me another ten days and I'll definitely come up with the plan."

"That's right." Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"But the president. Everyone else's salary structure is easy to do, but there is one person I can't do." Kennard added.

"Huh? Who can't do it well? Could it be you?" Xu Yi asked in surprise.

"How can I compare to his old man, I'm talking about the great magician Camilla." Kennard said. "President, you are talking about a special researcher like him. How should I set the salary standard?"

Xu Yi frowned and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if you ask me this question. Last time I asked him how the old man should pay him a salary, but he came to tell me what to do, he doesn't care. I thought about it carefully. Later, I found out that this is indeed a very serious problem. Driving too low will definitely not work, but if it is too high, it seems that it will damage the confidence of other researchers in the institute too much.”

"How about this, the salary of the Great Magician Camilla should not be set particularly high, but according to the reward system of the research institute, Your Excellency the Great Magician will definitely take a lot of rewards. We might as well increase the reward amount, which can not only indirectly increase the great The salary of the magician can also increase the enthusiasm of the researchers, what do you think?" Kennard suggested.

"That's a good idea. Well, you go back and study it carefully. How should this amount be determined the most appropriate?" Xu Yi waved his hand to end the discussion.

Seeing Kennard take out a small notebook and write down what he said honestly, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a tinge of happiness in his heart.

Before Kennard came, he had to take care of many things in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Now that Kennard is the general manager, he only needs to wave his hand a lot to explain his thoughts and decisions. Kennard will naturally do it.

Although it has only been less than two months since he entered the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Kennard has already fully demonstrated his extraordinary ability.

Under his management, the entire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has moved up and down much more smoothly than before, and the efficiency has also improved a lot.

Xu Yi often sighed that he was a treasure that fell from the world, and was often worried if he suddenly left. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only afraid that there will be no successor, and it will fall into chaos.

Kennard didn't know how much he had to do when he lowered his head to write down a few words. Xu Yi had so many thoughts in his head. After recording the next work, he looked up at the sky. Xiang Xu Yi said: "President, the relocation ceremony of Lanxiang Living Community is about to start, let's rush over now."

Xu Yi raised his head and saw that the sun had already risen above his head, so he nodded and summoned the carriage that had been prepared for a long time, and drove towards the southwest of the city-state tower city.

The so-called Orchid Vanilla Living Community is actually a new living community composed of the batch of houses that the Great Magician Camilla mentioned last time.

To put it simply, it is a community that is still being built.

According to the overall renovation project of Bangta City negotiated by Xu Yi and Earl Summer, the first step is to re-plan the suburbs of Bangta City.

In this first phase of planning, three villages, including Mirdan Village, where Camilla and Steele's hometown are located, are among the demolished.

This Orchid Herb Living Community was prepared for the construction of houses for the villagers of these three villages.

When it comes to still building houses, it always reminds people of those still building houses that are found everywhere in the heaven on earth.

Almost all of them give the impression that the quality is extremely poor, the environment is not good, and in short, there are various shortcomings, so that the villagers who are forced to relocate are always very reluctant.

However, the construction of this vanilla living community is another matter entirely.

The living standards of people on the Sainz Continent are not high, and the living standards of ordinary civilians in the Kingdom of Lampari, who have just recovered from the turmoil, are even lower.

In ordinary villages outside Bangta City like Mirdan Village, most of the houses the villagers live in are small wooden huts simply spliced ​​with tattered wooden boards, or stone houses made of mixed stones and mud to build walls.

These two types of houses are not of high quality at all, and they cannot even guarantee the most basic functions of keeping out the cold. Even if it is a little heavy rain, the house will leak into a piece.

Living in this kind of house, the living environment of the villagers can be regarded as miserable in Xu Yi's opinion.

This vanilla living community was built by the Amli Chamber of Commerce. With Xu Yi's advice and financial support, the houses in the entire community were poured with reinforced concrete for the foundation and columns, and the walls were built with high-quality masonry mixed with cement bricks and ash. The whole structure is extremely strong and reliable.

And after the completion, the exterior walls of the house were painted with white lime, so that the whole house looked clean and neat from the outside. In addition, the whole house was designed by the Amley Chamber of Commerce. It looks very beautiful and elegant, it is simply excellent housing.

What's more, in addition to the houses in the community, Xu Yi also let the elves in the chamber of commerce work together and spent time greening the entire community.

After the final completion, rows of beautiful two-story cottages in the entire community were neatly arranged, surrounded by various exotic flowers and trees that ordinary people in Bangta City could not recognize at all. With a ray of fragrance, it is simply a paradise on earth.

So the villagers of the three villages, including Mirdan Village, who had various concerns about relocation, decided to relocate without hesitation, just by seeing that they were still building houses.

Even after seeing the houses being built, some villagers in other villages that were not in the relocation plan also took the initiative to request relocation.

For this situation, Xu Yi could only sigh in his heart.

Being poor has its benefits.
