Chapter 76
Everyone's faces were a little strange when they heard this voice.
Because it was Baron Billy that made this sound.
As soon as Baron Billy arrived in Bonta City, he drove the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce out of his territory and proved to everyone the breaking relationship between him and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
However, when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce moved to the Sangqidun Manor as a whole, Baron Billy unexpectedly settled down and did not seek trouble for Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as everyone imagined.
Based on this situation, everyone involuntarily speculated that Baron Billy's driving the New Air Chamber of Commerce out of the territory was instructed by the Stark family, not his original intention.
But now here, Baron Billy suddenly made such a clear opposition, which surprised everyone.
Xu Yi glanced at Baron Billy, without any anger, and smiled and said, "Of course, this Bonta City is not my own, so if you can successfully transform Bonta City, you will enjoy the benefits of all the people in Bonta City."
Baron Billy snorted again: "Everyone enjoys the benefits? President Xu, are you lying to the children? I think it's only you and your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who enjoy the benefits? Otherwise, why are you so active?"
Xu Yi looked at Baron Billy, thought for a while, and asked again: "So, Baron, are you against this overall renovation project?"
Baron Billy looked at Xu Yi coldly: "Don't try to mess with me. This overall renovation project was proposed by the city lord, of course I will not object. But I will not express support either."
Everyone's faces were even more strange. I thought you were so wonderful.
Since it was proposed by the city lord, if you don’t show support, it is actually equivalent to opposition. What else do you explain?
Xu Yi's reaction was also very good.
After hearing Baron Billy's answer, he simply nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
He had no intention of discussing this issue with Baron Billy!
Baron Billy was obviously a little surprised, but since Xu Yi made such a statement, if he still took the initiative to get up and get involved, it would be a shame, so he could only shut up and say nothing.
Xu Yi then introduced several other pictures to everyone, without exception, these were the scenes outside the Bangta City after the complete transformation project that Xu Yi had imagined.
Seeing the beautiful scenes drawn on these paintings, everyone in the audience couldn't believe it.
After all, compared with the now dirty city of Bangta, the city of Bangta in these paintings is really too beautiful, and even the city of Anweimar is pale in comparison.
However, everyone still hopes that Bangta City can really become what these paintings are depicted. If it becomes true, Bangta City will become an excellent residence that everyone envies.
After demonstrating these renderings, Xu Yi immediately turned to the topic.
He knew very well that for the people in the audience, no matter how good the things depicted in the painting were, they were not as important as the benefits they gained from them.
So after introducing the renderings, he began to explain the significance of the overall transformation plan for Bangta City.
After talking about the various benefits brought by the concentration of industrial and living areas, it can be clearly seen that the representatives of the chamber of commerce below the stage shone with their eyes, obviously sniffing business opportunities from what Xu Yi said.
Although most of the nobles did not consider these, they were also a little moved when they heard the scenes described by Xu Yi.
After Xu Yi spent more than half an hour talking about some specific plans, the expressions on everyone in the audience were no longer as confused as before, and it was obvious that they had begun to turn all kinds of thoughts.
Seeing this situation, Count Samo couldn't help but smile and smiled at Xu Yi with an admiration.
This kid is really good at discovering benefits that most people can enjoy in one thing, which makes the things he handles more easily acceptable.
The banquet lasted for a whole night, and when it was over, Xu Yi felt that he was dry and dry.
At the banquet, representatives of the chamber of commerce and nobles kept coming to Xu Yi to inquire about the details of the transformation, and wanted to get some specific information from Xu Yi so that they could know what specific benefits they could get from it.
Xu Yi had to answer one by one and also helped the other party analyze.
Although everyone seemed satisfied when the man left in the end, Xu Yi had a hard time salivading for this, and in the end even his throat became a little dry and painful.
"Oh, I will never do such thankless things again." After accepting the praise from Count Samo and saying goodbye to him, Xu Yi couldn't help thinking.
It was already late at night. Xu Yi looked up at the moon and star in the night sky. He gave up the idea of riding in the carriage and walked towards his home in the city.
The current city of Bonta is indeed very different from the same period last year.
At this time last year, because the autumn nights had already started to get colder, as late as now, everyone in Bonta City had returned to their homes to rest, and there were no people on the streets.
But now it is already late at night, there are still many small shops on both sides of the streets of Bangta City that remain open, with bright lights inside and various noisy sounds coming from time to time.
Even on the street, there are also small stalls selling midnight snacks, and various aromas appear from them, attracting people who have not yet rested to take out a few or dozens of silver coins from their pockets to enjoy a delicious midnight snack.
Compared with the tranquility of this time last year, the current Bangta City has become very lively even at night, just like the densely populated cities in the Heavenly Kingdom on Earth.
There is only one reason for this situation, that is, people.
The city of Bonta originally had only about 50,000 people, but now it accommodates more than 200,000 people.
So many people squeezed into this small city, of course, have brought great changes to it.
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing as he watched a young man and woman walking to a night market stall embrace each other and sat down.
This situation is exactly the same as life in those cities on earth.
The only difference is probably that there are no street lights in Bangta City, and both the shops and night market stalls can only rely on magic lamps to illuminate.
Thinking of the street lights, Xu Yi's heart moved and raised his head and looked upwards.
Although the city of Bonta is old and difficult to transform as a whole, it is still very likely and necessary to make some improvements.
For example, street lights are very common in cities on earth, but are basically not available in cities on the Synes continent, which are actually very practical.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi immediately estimated the cost of a street light in his mind.
Because magic lamps do not need additional power supply like those street lamps on the earth, they only need to erect a shelf high enough and hang the magic lamp up, and the corresponding cost will be much less.
But this will lead to several problems.
The first problem is that although Avita and Akali have made new breakthroughs in the research of remote magic transmission technology, the magic power of the magic crystal can be transmitted as far as three meters away through special methods, the transmission of this distance is not stable enough, so in fact it can only be in the experimental stage and cannot be actually used.
The demand for street lights is more than three meters, so it is very problematic to hang the magic lamp on a high shelf, where the switch is set.
Moreover, because of the unified power supply, street lights on the earth can remotely control the unified switch, but with the current technology of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this is definitely not possible.
If the switch is placed directly on the lamppost, it will be difficult to prevent some bored guys from pressing the switch at will.
Although a closed space is specially set up on the lamp post and a lock outside can prevent this situation from happening, it is very troublesome to just switch these street lights when no one is on or off for a fixed time.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi found that there were too many problems, which made him feel a little headache.
"Oh, after all, it's still insufficient technology." Xu Yi sighed in his heart. "If Evita and the others can completely complete the remote magic transmission technology, the transmission distance can be infinitely large, and the magic power of the magic crystal can be transmitted at will as freely as electricity, it will be much more convenient."
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi could only sigh helplessly.
After all, magic is not electricity, and it is impossible to transmit it through just a simple wire.
But if this problem is not solved, you will often face various difficult problems like those found when considering street lights.
"How to solve it?" Xu Yi quickly fell into a concentrated thought, but suddenly forgot to look at the way.
"Bang--"
Xu Yi hit the iron pillar used by a shop on the street to hold up the tent at the door, and immediately gasped in pain, and even Venus was in front of him.
The sound of his impact was particularly huge, instantly attracting the attention of everyone who was enjoying midnight snacks in street shops and night market stalls.
Seeing Xu Yi covering his head with a painful look on his face, everyone couldn't help laughing and started to laugh.
The girl among the young couple that Xu Yi saw just now even secretly pointed at Xu Yi, smiling at his male companion and whispering something.
However, after a moment, many people recognized this person who was walking on the road and actually hit the pillar was President Xu of the famous Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Bangta City!
Just when people were stunned, Xu Yi suddenly jumped up from the ground and laughed wildly in front of everyone's eyes as if they were looking at madmen.
"Haha...I'm so stupid! Why do I have to use magic instead of electricity? Am I a fucking stone? Haha, there is clearly such a simple way, haha..."
