Chapter 129 Fiscal Deficit
The army of the Kingdom of Lampari defeated the powerful defense line built by the Maro Empire. When he stepped forward to the Maro Empire with the steps that made countless people on this continent frightened, the main base of the New Air Chamber of Commerce in the Duke of Stantin was a different scene.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the protagonist of one of the two camps, the chaos outside the world and the tense wars that took place everywhere on the mainland did not have much impact on the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Because it is the New Year stage, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still decided to take a holiday more than a week before the New Year, making the main base not as busy as usual. Even the roar of magic machines in various factory workshops has become much smaller.
But this does not mean that the New Air Chamber of Commerce is really not affected.
As the protagonist of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce camp, it is also the main factor that provides various military magic machinery to cooperative countries, assisting them in defeating the attacks of the two empire camps, and even helping the Lampari Kingdom complete the counterattack. Now it can even invade the Marlow Empire. The New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly plays the most critical role in this war that swept the entire continent.
Not to mention anything else, just to provide sufficient military magic machinery and related ammunition supplies to the Kingdom of Lampari, the New Air Chamber of Commerce directly built a new production base dedicated to the production of military magic machinery within last year.
The new base was completed at the beginning of last year. Then, as the situation on the Siones continent gradually deteriorated and eventually turned into a full-scale war, the new base was fully started in the second half of last year, and it was constantly vigorously creating various military magic machinery.
It is precisely because of Xu Yi's super vision two years ago that the strategic partners of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, such as the Rupern Kingdom of Rupern Kingdom, Nordzdom Commercial United Kingdom, and other countries, have sufficient military magical mechanical supplies, so that they can withstand powerful attacks from the two empires on the front battlefield.
After Xu Yi personally set up a game, he attracted the Raduka Magister and the Offalian Magister. After successfully testing the newly developed comprehensive anti-magic field specifically targeting enemy magicians, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce solved the most serious problem for these strategic partners, which is the threat of the magister.
This was fully reflected in the previous battles between the Kingdom of Lampari and the Marlow coalition.
The Marlow Empire directly killed a magician in the Battle of Greehuce Mountains, and then lost two magicians in one breath in the border defense battle. This is equivalent to telling everyone that the magician is no longer the invincible representatives in people's minds. He no longer has the powerful ability to determine the situation of the battle.
In other words, after the Lampari Kingdom killed three magicians in the Maro Empire in these two battles, everyone understood that only the military magic machinery provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could determine the outcome of the war.
Ordinary magicians can't do this, and even the most powerful magicians can't do it.
In order to continue to strengthen this understanding in people's minds, although the annual leave of other departments of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still ongoing as usual this year, the departments related to military magic machinery have been forced to work overtime in the New Year for the first time.
Of course, because overtime is special in the New Year, the Chamber of Commerce pays three times the usual salary for workers who are forced to work overtime, so all the workers who stayed to work overtime are happy.
Besides, wars are happening everywhere else on the mainland now. Instead of taking risks, it is better to stay in the main base of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, which is currently the safest in the entire continent.
There are even many employees from other departments who are unwilling to leave after the holiday and choose to stay directly.
In addition, many employees brought their families who were not originally in the Principality of Stantin to the Principality of Stantin and decided to settle here.
Xu Yi of course welcomed this.
The most dissatisfied with the Seines continent was that due to the serious food problem, the population seemed extremely sparse compared to the earth, especially the Celestial Empire, which made it difficult for the New Air Chamber of Commerce to recruit enough personnel for development.
If more and more people settled in the Principality of Stantin, he could use the resources of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce nearby to cultivate a large number of suitable talents for the New Flight Chamber of Commerce.
In the long run, it is beneficial.
He even wanted to catch a bunch of people and stuff them into the military magic machinery production base now. He worked hard to work on a large number of military magic machinery orders put forward by various countries, including the Kingdom of Lampari.
However, this is unrealistic.
Military magic machinery is extremely powerful and the corresponding requirements are extremely high.
Especially at present, the most urgently needed all-round anti-magic field devices for magicians are not tolerated by mistakes. They require a lot of magic to understand deeply. At least people with a deep understanding of the magic circle are qualified to participate.
This kind of talent cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.
Xu Yi directly caught a group of graduates from the first batch of graduates of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and worked while training, which could not meet the current large number of needs. Where can we find enough talents in this area in a short while?
Every time I think of this, Xu Yi can't help but sigh in his heart.
Although the proportion of magicians on the Continent of Sainz is extremely low, if we look at the absolute number, it will exceed 100,000, which is not a small number at all.
If half of these more than 100,000 magicians could... no, even if only one third, or even one quarter or even one fifth of them worked for the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, he would not have been worried about becoming a talent all day long.
Among these magicians, what Xu Yi felt the most regretful was the three magicians who fell in the previous battle with King Lampari.
In Xu Yi's view, the magician, who is currently the most profound magician and has the most powerful magic power on the Synes continent, only needs a little training to help them promote the field of magic industry.
The fall of three magicians is the fall of three top talents for Xu Yi.
When I received this news before, Xu Yi didn't say it, but felt extremely sad.
If these three magicians did not fall in the war that Xu Yi thought was meaningless, but came to contribute their own strength to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely make the magic industry develop faster and allow Xu Yi's ideal to go further.
So even though the New Air Chamber of Commerce guards outside Melo City were fully capable of killing the Magisters of Offalian and Laduka, Xu Yi still took a certain risk and let them go.
What he does is to protect high-end talents like the magician.
However... the contradiction is that Xu Yi must let the representative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce show a powerful ability that can eliminate the magician from the battlefield so that others can face this.
So in the end, a magician died, and three fell at once.
Xu Yi was deeply saddened by this, but he was helpless.
"Oh, it would be great if everyone could develop with all their hearts. What a pity..." Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
"Sir, what's wrong? Are we not doing well?" Lawns, the head of the military magic machinery department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who was with Xu Yi, saw the strange expression on Xu Yi's face and asked quickly.
"No, I just watched the military magic machinery being sent out here, and thought that they were going to be sent to the hands of the troops everywhere. I buried the lives of countless people with my own hands, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion in my heart." Xu Yi shook his head and said.
This time, the expression on Lawns's face became very strange.
Why did the president suddenly feel sad?
Will adults actually be a person with a very sensitive and delicate mind?
How is this possible...
The messy thoughts in his heart did not affect the smile on Lawns' face and said, "Sir, this is impossible. We have never thought about conquering anyone, but those guys from the two empires refused. If we don't teach them a lesson, we will probably never have peace in the future."
Xu Yi smiled and knew that Lawns had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a moment of emotion, and it won't affect my mood. OK. After the inspection here, you have done a good job. Continue to maintain this efficiency and strive not to make any mistakes. This year is likely to be the most important year for our New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce and even the entire Synez continent. The final result is actually the department you are responsible for. So..."
Xu Yi patted Lawns on the shoulder hard, stared at his eyes, and said seriously: "You are very brave. Are you confident to do it?"
Lawns immediately replied: "Please rest assured, I promise that there will be no errors here."
"Very good." Xu Yi patted Lawns on the shoulder again and signaled him to go back to work. He and several other senior executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who accompanied him on the first day of the New Year left.
The group returned to the conference hall of the office building of the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. After seating, Sebas, the financial director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xu Yi.
"Sir, this is the preliminary fiscal budget of the Chamber of Commerce this year. Judging from the current estimate results... I'm afraid something is wrong." Sebass' expression on his face was very serious.
This expression is extremely rare on his face.
Because the financial situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been extremely good since its establishment, the expression on Sebass' face always seems very relaxed.
However, now, the grim expression on his face made him very serious, so that Xu Yi couldn't help but sit up a little straight after hearing this. Then he picked up the document.
In this fiscal budget document for the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce this year, Sebass lists in detail the various funds that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce may use this year and finally draws a rough conclusion.
This conclusion is indeed enough to make Sebass show such a serious expression, because according to this conclusion, according to the various plans and investments scheduled by the New Air Chamber of Commerce this year, if there is no obvious change or riotous returns, the New Air Chamber of Commerce's fiscal situation will have a serious deficit for the first time in history.
The deficit is even as high as between 20 million and 40 million gold coins
In the year-end financial report at the end of last year, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual net profit of nearly 200 million gold coins in the same period last year fell to less than 50 million gold coins, and the gap is not small.
However, according to Sebas' estimate this year, there will even be a deficit.
This is the first time this has happened in more than 20 years since the establishment of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, and the first deficit has occurred, it is not a small number.
It's no wonder that Sebas showed such a serious look. After all, he is the finance director of the New Air Chamber of Commerce and the person who is most directly exposed to these numbers.
And he knew best what the possible deficit was.
"Sir, please be honest." Seeing Xu Yi looking at the complete report and looking up again, Sebas said extremely seriously: "We should immediately stop free aid to countries such as the Kingdom of Lampari. Otherwise, if this continues, it will not take two years, and our chamber of commerce will go bankrupt directly due to serious financial burdens."
