A carriage slowly drove out from the west gate of Bangta City, gradually accelerated, and drove quickly towards the western suburbs of Bangta City.

In the carriage, Xu Yi and Heince were sitting opposite Heince. Heince was holding a rough map of Bangta City in his hand, explaining something to Xu Yi.

"Look, this large area is all the territory of Viscount Leslie, and it should be nearly a thousand hectares in total, more than half of which are unreclaimed wastelands. Viscount Leslie promised us that we could choose a piece of them to rent them."

Xu Yi just glanced at the map, then stretched out his finger and clicked on the map: "No need to choose, it's here."

"Here?" Heince observed the place Xu Yi pointed out, thought for a while, and frowned: "This place is not closest to Bangta City, and there is nothing nearby, so I'm afraid it's not very convenient to live."

Xu Yi shrugged and chuckled, "Nothing is better, so it's easier for us to plan well. You know, drawing pictures on a piece of white paper is much simpler than drawing pictures on a piece of paper covered with patterns."

"But in this way, the cost will probably be higher than expected." Heinze still frowned.

"Initial investment is a must." Xu Yi nodded and drew a circle on the map. "Actually, if possible, I even want to rent all this large wasteland."

"This large area?" Heinzer said astonished: "That's not possible. Just renting a hectare of land, we have to hand over Viscount Leslie 100 gold coins every year. If we rent such a large area... not to mention tens of thousands of gold coins a year, we still need a few thousand gold coins. Besides, we only need a small workshop now, so why do we need such a large area?"

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Hiyince, are you satisfied with just opening such a small magic fan factory?"

Haiyince looked at Xu Yi in shock. Could it be that this guy has greater ambitions?

Just yesterday, Xu Yi found Heinze and told him that he didn't have to worry about finding a suitable site to rent in Bangta City, because Xu Yi had a fancy to a vacant land outside the city and planned to build a factory on this vacant land to produce magic fans with all his might.

During this period, Xu Yi asked Heinze's nephew Alex to assist him in a small market survey. Based on the survey results, Xu Yi initially judged that the demand for magic fans in Bonta City should be between 3,000 and 5,000 units, and now only less than 500 units have been sold, which means there is still a huge market of thousands.

And this number is only limited to Bonta City. Although the family conditions in various rural areas outside Bonta City are not as good as Bonta City, they will inevitably have certain demands for magic fans.

If the radiation range of Bangta City is included, Xu Yi boldly estimated that the demand for magic fans would even exceed 10,000 units!

It is precisely because of this number that Xu Yi made up his mind to expand production.

To significantly increase production, renting warehouses in Bangta City was obviously too limited, so Xu Yi directly targeted the outskirts of the city and prepared to build a magic fan factory directly.

After research, what he finally saw was this territory belonging to Viscount Leslie in Bonta.

Of course, if you want to expand production, besides the site, the most important thing is actually people.

Xu Yi looked down at the stack of materials in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Half of this stack of materials is thirty personal information, and the other half is thirty contracts.

These things were what he gained after going to Baron Riktor's Magic Academy.

After his efforts to convince, Director Hiller finally allowed Xu Yi to recruit students to work for him at Baron Riktor Magic Academy, but Director Hiller also said that he would not publicly support it, but he just did not object.

Then after some hard work in the college, Xu Yi finally successfully recruited 30 students who met the requirements.

These students' magic level is not high, at least no one can compare to Xu Yi.

However, as students of Baron Rictor Magic Academy, they play the basic knowledge of magic circles very firmly and have some experience in drawing magic circles.

Although Xu Yi has specially transformed it into the wind spiral array, it is more complicated, and it is just a low-level wind spiral array, and the difficulty of drawing is not particularly high.

Xu Yi recruited these students, and the only thing they could do was to complete the work of drawing the magic circle.

Although this is a simple and boring job, it requires certain magical strength.

When he made the five hundred magic fans before, Xu Yi asked his colleagues in his laboratory to help complete it. However, he was preparing to complete the production of nearly 10,000 magic fans, so it was obviously impossible to rely on ten colleagues alone.

In comparison, hiring these thirty students is far more appropriate than finding those ten colleagues.

First of all, these thirty students did not have the reserve of a magician like those ten colleagues. They did not hesitate and signed a contract with Xu Yi, which gave them a clear employment relationship, so that Xu Yi would not have to worry about it affecting production.

Secondly, after Xu Yi asked the ten colleagues to assist in completing 500 magic fans, each colleague paid five gold coins and one magic fan. However, he discussed with them that after each person completed the magic circle drawing of a magic fan, he would pay them two silver coins, and the cost could be said to have dropped significantly.

In fact, when Xu Yi offered this reward, he was still worried that these students would feel that it was too low, but he did not expect that when the students heard this reward, they were all very excited, and even praised Xu Yi for being generous.

The last and most important point is that compared with the colleagues in the laboratory, these students who are still studying in the Magic Academy have not yet formed a mindset, and they do not have so many prejudices about the application of magic.

In them, Xu Yida can instill his knowledge of mechanical engineering from the earth and let them learn from scratch.

If several students who are talented in magical and mechanical theory can appear, it will be a valuable asset.

If there are more and more such magicians in the future, then the creation of a complete industrial system on the Continent of Sainz by Xu Yi is no longer just a dream...

The carriage suddenly bumped suddenly, shaking Xu Yi from his seat, and immediately interrupting his imagination about the future.

"It's almost here." Heinze, who was standing beside him, reminded.

Xu Yi opened the curtains and looked out and found that the carriage had left the road extending west from Bangta City and embarked on a small rural dirt road with a bumpy and not flat at all.

Feeling the violent trembling caused by the carriage, Xu Yi couldn't help but frown.

“This road condition is too bad.”

Heinze smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, this place is a wasteland that no one has cultivated. It would be great to have such a path that makes the situation of a carriage."

"This is not possible. Heinze, if I wanted to build a flat road from the place we were bound to the road just now, how much would it cost?"

"Build the road?" Heinze was stunned, lowered his head and gestured on the map, and replied with a wry smile: "This is not cheap. Even if it is just the simplest way to renovate the road, it will probably cost hundreds of gold coins." After a pause, he couldn't help but say: "Actually, although this road is a little bumpy, it's enough to pass the carriage. We don't need to spend money to rebuild the road, right?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "No, this road must be repaired. The magic fan itself has low craftsmanship content and may not require high transportation conditions, but our subsequent products will become more and more sophisticated. With this kind of road condition, it is easy to have problems during transportation."

Haiyince curled his lips and found that he didn't know much about what Xu Yi said about "craft content", "sequence flattening", "precision", etc., and he couldn't continue to persuade him for a while.

However, now Xu Yi is the leader in these things, and he has no right to make decisions, so he thought about it and gave up persuasion.

The carriage continued to bump on the lower road for a while and slowly stopped.

Xu Yi and Haiyince jumped out of the carriage. Looking around, they found that it was indeed desolate. There was almost nothing else on the surrounding land except for the weeds.

Seeing this desolate appearance, Heince couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and Xu Yi was not surprised at all.

On the earth, he has visited countless industrial areas to be developed, and those industrial areas are even several times more desolate than here. After formal development, it will soon become a prosperous area.

Although this place is very desolate now, he believes that as long as he can continue to develop and invest, it will sooner or later become prosperous.

"Is it Mr. Xu Yi and Mr. Heince?" A thin old man emerged from somewhere.

"Hello, Brunei butler, I am Heinze, this is my partner Xu Yi." Heinze quickly met. "Xu Yi, this is Mr. Brunei, the housekeeper of Viscount Leslie."

Xu Yi looked at the unpretentious old man and bowed to him.

Brunei rolled his eyes with more white and less black eyes, looked at Xu Yi for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, since you are here, let's have a good look. Lord Viscount said that although he does not intend to reclaim this place, since it is his territory, it cannot be handed over to others for use. No matter what you want to do on this land in the future, you must first notify Lord Viscount. Do you understand?"

Looking at Brunei who looked tall and arrogant, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

If it were on Earth, if you met a developer like yourself who was willing to pay for this wasteland, the landowner would not be happy.

On the Continent of Synes, Viscount Leslie had already collected his own money. The Brunei butler looked so arrogant, as if this land was not rented by Xu Yi, but was rewarded by Viscount Leslie.

Xu Yi naturally didn't show any expression on his face, but he just nodded to show that he knew, and then went around to investigate.

The inspection results made Xu Yi very satisfied. The land was in good geology and extremely flat terrain, which was very suitable for building factories.

More importantly, just next to this land, there is a river about ten meters wide, and there is a small forest on the other side, which is very convenient for all materials and water use.

The only drawback is that the transportation is inconvenient, and of course this is also under Xu Yi's consideration.

Renovating roads to ensure traffic is the first element in establishing factories and mines.
