Chapter 3 Population Is Not Equal to Manpower
Sevini looked at the statistical report in his hand, and frowned slightly.
"It seems that there will be more migrants in Bangta City this year than last year. This is just a rough count of the migrant population in the first half of the new year, but it shows that more than 50,000 people from other places have entered Bangta City, and this is still It does not include a lot of people who cannot be counted at all. If they are all counted, it may be close to 100,000 people."
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Is there anything wrong with this? Bangta City is short of manpower everywhere now, and relying on the local residents of Bangta City will definitely not be able to meet such a large manpower gap, and it will inevitably require the addition of foreign population. Don't forget , last year when Nei Bangta City was at its peak, there were more than 200,000 migrants."
"However, judging from the current trend, this year may well exceed the figure of 200,000, and maybe... it may even exceed 300,000." Sevini shook his head and said worriedly.
"The more the better." Xu Yi shrugged indifferently. "Not only our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but I think all chambers of commerce in the city will be very happy about this situation. There is no way, there are too few available manpower."
Sevini glared at her: "You don't need to take care of it, of course you feel relaxed. You must know that the total population of Banta City is less than 100,000, but now it has poured in 200,000...or even 30,000. Hundreds of thousands of people from other places, as the city lord, I really feel a lot of pressure."
"It's a good thing to be stressed." Xu Yi laughed. "Dear Your Royal Highness, the more pressure you have, the more outstanding your ability is? Think about it. If there will be more than 300,000 foreign residents in Bangta City this year. Then the total population... even Possibly beyond Anweimar City?"
Seweini nodded slightly: "Yes. According to last year's statistics, the permanent population of Anweimar City is about 200,000, and if the foreign population is added, it will probably remain at about 400,000."
"So, if you can lead such a city to develop peacefully and normally, that would be an admirable thing. If you can do this well, I think even those who oppose you can only treat you I express my admiration for your government affairs handling ability. This will be very helpful for you to ascend the throne." Xu Yi said seriously.
"Ascension to the throne?" Sevigny smiled wryly. Glancing at the report in his hand again, he sighed softly: "In this preliminary statistical report on the foreign population, we can find a very strange problem. That is, all the foreign population measured this year are from the northwest and northern provinces of the kingdom. To be precise, , is from the Kingdom near the border of the Kingdom of Sark.”
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and snorted softly: "Although the status of the commoners on the northern border is not high, it doesn't mean they are idiots. Instead of staying there and being exploited by a certain prince so that they can't even live, If your life may be in danger in the future, it is better to find a way to escape from there. And our Bangta City is one of the best choices."
Seweini glanced at Xu Yi. The expression was a little surprised: "Did you receive any news from?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, I didn't pay special attention to this issue. It's just a few days ago. The relatives of two researchers of our chamber of commerce Magic Research Institute relocated from the northern border and planned to settle in Bangta City. I saw them By the way, I asked them about the situation in the north and why they moved to Bangta City, so I know a little bit about it."
"Two researchers? Dean Evita and senior researcher Akali?" Seweini asked.
Xu Yi was taken aback: "Your Highness, you know it quite clearly."
Sevini smiled lightly, and did not answer the doubts in Xu Yi's eyes, but pointed to the report in his hand and continued to ask: "Then President Xu, the number of immigrants who may flood into Bangta City this year may break through. 300,000. Except for the 200,000 people who already worked in Bangta City last year, are you sure you can digest the extra 100,000 people?"
Xu Yi frowned: "This should be something you, the city lord, should consider. What does it have to do with me?"
Sevini showed a sly smile: "Who made your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the closest partner of the City Lord's Mansion, and President Xu, you are the most powerful helper for me, the City Lord?"
Xu Yi shook his head helplessly: "I said, Lord City Master, are you relying on me?"
"So what?"
Seeing Seweini's rarely playful smile, Xu Yi rolled his eyes and stood up.
"This matter concerns the entire Bangta City. We can't just let our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and a chamber of commerce fight hard, and the group of guys outside can't let it go."
The two left Seweney's private office and came to the largest conference hall in the Santo's Mansion.
At this time, it was the representatives of the presidents of various chambers of commerce, large and small, in the conference hall who were seated separately in the conference hall, including not only Chairman Cruise of the Amley Chamber of Commerce, President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, Sarank President Lanke of the Chamber of Commerce, President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce, and other super-large chambers of commerce, including many smaller chambers of commerce.
Even the vice chairman of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce, a small chamber of commerce that has not been in the city for two years, appeared at the conference table as a representative.
Of course, his position is arranged in a corner position, which is not conspicuous at all.
Seeing Sevini and Xu Yi stepping into the meeting room, the representatives of the presidents of the chamber of commerce who had been discussing a lot stopped in unison.
Their eyes swept over Xu Yi and Seweini, and there was no surprise on their faces, but a knowing smile flashed across their faces.
Xu Yi and Seweini have a close relationship, which is something that everyone in Bangta City knows very well.
Although today's meeting was proposed by Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, it was a New Year's business planning meeting in Banta City, so representatives of almost all chambers of commerce of a certain size in Banta City were convened.
But of course she would communicate with Xu Yi privately in advance, and no one would have any objection to Xu Yi's special treatment.
Don't say that the entire Banta City urban renovation project is in charge of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, just because last year the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually surpassed the Salak Chamber of Commerce, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, the Armani Chamber of Commerce and other old Super Chambers of Commerce in Banta City, and became the Banta Chamber of Commerce. A chamber of commerce that pays the most taxes in the city, Xu Yi is eligible for this privilege.
Although the conference table was full of people and filled the room, the first seat on the left hand side of the chairman's seat was tacitly vacated by everyone.
Xu Yi unceremoniously sat down in this position, smiled and greeted several president representatives around him, then turned to look at Seweini.
Concentrated by the gazes of everyone around, Sevini's expression is not the slightest bit nervous. She has been the city lord of Bangta City for half a year, and she has fully adapted to the position of the city lord now. When facing the representatives of the major chambers of commerce, she is extremely relaxed. Calm, not at all like a young girl in her early twenties, but more like a mature politician.
"Presidents and representatives of the chamber of commerce, Happy New Year, everyone." Seweini first said a word of congratulations, then took out the documents he had prepared earlier, asked his assistants to distribute them, and began to give a short speech.
Although the speech time is not long, but the content is not simple.
In this short speech, Sevini praised the contributions made by the major chambers of commerce in Bangta City last year, and then encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts in the new year.
Next, she started making specific requests.
For example, in the new year, the City Lord's Mansion requires the major chambers of commerce to give priority to ensuring their reputation and not to cause any damage to the reputation of the entire city of Bangta City.
Secondly, she also asked all major chambers of commerce to actively participate in the joint construction of Bangta City and play more of their social responsibilities.
At this point, Sevini highly praised the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and took the initiative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to donate 100 medium-sized passenger magic locomotives to the City Lord's Mansion to strengthen the urban public transportation of Bangta City. Some compliments.
Hearing Sevini's speech, the president representatives of various chambers of commerce present immediately expressed that they would also learn from Xinfei chamber of commerce.
Among them, President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce offered to build a rescue station outside the city to provide assistance to the residents of Bangta City who encountered difficulties.
President Vincent of the Armani Chamber of Commerce offered to provide a set of winter clothes and bedding for each of the elderly over 60 years old in Bangta City, and also provide support for the elderly who have no one to support them, so as to ensure their basic life .
As for other chambers of commerce, they have also proposed different levels of free funding according to the size of their own chambers of commerce, which can be regarded as responding to Seweney's call.
After saying this, Seweini quickly introduced the topic to practical issues.
The first point is how to digest and solve the large influx of foreign population that is about to arrive in Bangta City.
Hearing this question, the representatives of the presidents of the major chambers of commerce who were working together laughed easily.
Everyone said that no matter which chamber of commerce is very short of people now, everyone is eager to see more foreigners pouring into Bangta City.
Not to mention 100,000 more than last year, even if it is 200,000 more, everyone agrees that they are fully confident that they will eat them all.
However, at this time, Xu Yi raised a question.
"Everyone, please calm down first." Xu Yi stood up, looked around, and when everyone quieted down, his eyes focused on him, and he continued seriously: "I understand everyone's desire for manpower, and I also know that all chambers of commerce in the city are facing The fact of lack of people. But I think...everyone is ignoring a very important issue."
Everyone looked at each other, and President Morgan of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The problem is that population does not equal manpower." (To be continued...)
