Chapter 106 Shopping
In front of President Lundes and Vice President Wilson, Xu Yi cited examples of the construction of Bangka Highway and Bangsa Highway.
According to the detailed data given by Xu Yi, the transportation costs of the same goods from Bangta City to Kalma City and Saltan City were reduced by 34% and 38% respectively compared with the construction of these two highways.
This also includes the toll on the road.
For a world like Synes, where transportation is not well developed, transportation costs are the biggest obstacle to the circulation of goods. The Walmart Chamber of Commerce, which mainly sells groceries, has a deeper understanding of this than any other chamber of commerce.
So when Xu Yi said the two numbers 34% and 38%, President Lundes and Vice President Wilson were both surprised.
After confirming that Xu Yi's data was not a joke, President Lundes made a decision almost immediately. The Walmart Chamber of Commerce will definitely invest in the construction of roads.
It is not difficult to guess from his expression that the Walmart Chamber of Commerce will probably not be as simple as building a road.
"Hey, Xu Yi, answer me, why don't you agree? I think this proposal is good." Seeing that Xu Yi was thinking and did not answer for a long time, Steele couldn't help but urge.
"Ah? Ah... This is too troublesome to explain. Besides, this matter cannot be decided by me alone. At least I have to go back to Bonta City to discuss with President Lanco and others, so I just told President Lundes that he would consider it myself." Xu Yi responded simply, quickly changed the subject and asked, "Don't just ask me, I want to ask you, did you say that your great magician would take me to a meeting of the Magician Union today? Why is he not here now?"
"Oh, there was a man from the Magician Union who came to find Grandpa, and then Grandpa went out with him." Steele replied.
"Then didn't he leave any explanation? For example, if I asked me to wait for him here or what?" Xu Yi asked.
Steele shook his head: "Grandpa didn't say anything. Seeing that he was leaving in a hurry, I don't know what happened."
"I'm leaving urgently?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled. "He has only been here from Bangta City for a few days. What urgent matters can the magician union here have to be handled?"
"I don't know." Steele shrugged. "Grandpa is a great magician after all. If something big happens to the Magician Union, since he happens to be in Anweimar City, he will definitely notify him."
Xu Yi thought for a while and found that there was too little information and there was no way to judge, so he had to give up.
"What should we do now? I have reserved this morning, but now that the Great Magician has something to do, I'm fine." Xu Yi spread his hands.
"Isn't that just right?" Steele smiled and took Xu Yi's arm, pulled him out the door. "It's rare that we both came to Anweimar City together. And we just happened to have free time. If we didn't go out for a walk together, it would be in vain. Let's go, I'll take you to have a good walk around Anweimar. Viscount Leslie said that when you came last year, you were busy with all kinds of things and didn't have time to hang out. It's really pitiful that I finally came here but didn't have time to play. Today, let me take you to enjoy the scenery of Anweimar City!"
Xu Yi was pulled out by Steele with amusement and tears.
Because today is the first day of the Magician Union qualification certification assessment. All the magicians who participated in the first day of the assessment went to the qualification certification assessment site outside the city. Even the magicians who did not participate in the assessment will mostly go to see the fun, so the city does not see the figures of magicians everywhere like yesterday, and it is relatively quieter.
Of course, as the capital of the Kingdom of Lampari, Anweimar City is extremely lively at any time, and no matter where the two of them go, they are almost crowded.
Steele studied at the Royal Academy of Lampari for four years and stayed in Anweimar City for four years, and was very familiar with it.
Under her leadership, the two tried their best to avoid the most crowded places, walked back and forth in the streets and alleys in Anweimar City, and then entered a small shop next to the road. They picked up the unique mutton puppets and commented, and then rested on the banks of the Rhine River passing through the city, while admiring the red leaves falling on the river bank. They then pulled the painter who set up a stall on the street and asked him to paint a portrait of the two of them.
Seeing Steele having fun, Xu Yi simply let go of all the mixed thoughts and accompanied Steele to and from the city happily.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was young on Earth and was pulled out to go shopping together by his female colleagues.
After the two of them wandered around the city, Xu Yi suddenly asked Steele that she wanted to go to the Royal Academy of Lampary where she studied.
Steele's eyes rolled: "I think you are not going to visit the academy, but to see the students who are learning magic inside? I honestly tell me, are you planning to bring all the students from the Royal Academy to our Chamber of Commerce to work for you?"
Xu Yi laughed: "I have this idea, but they graduated from the highest institution in the kingdom, so I'm afraid they don't look down on our small chamber of commerce."
"That's not necessarily." Steele snorted softly. "Look, even the top students in the academy like me are still working for you now? Besides, there are Evita and others the same? Tell you, our chamber of commerce treats researchers so well. I think not only the students of Baron Riktor Magic Academy want to work in the chamber, but the students of the Royal Academy of Lampari are the same."
"It would be great if this is the case. But now I think that letting these students work in the Chamber of Commerce is probably not the best choice." Xu Yi shook his head. "If possible, I really want to run a college that specializes in instilling the theoretical knowledge of magical machinery in magical machinery. Only magicians who graduate from such an academy can truly be considered a magic engineering mechanic."
"If you want to do it, do it." Steele said with a relaxed look on his face. "Anyway, you are not short of money now. With the support of the City Lord and His Highness, the procedures should be fine. At worst, letting grandpa take a position in the academy will attract many people to study in the academy."
"Well, it's good. After you said this, I really think this idea is feasible. Okay, when I go back this time, I will discuss this matter with the Lord of the City. As for now, let's go to visit the Royal Academy of Lampari. I'm very curious about how they cultivated a girl like Steele."
"Hmph, I am born with beauty and I don't need to be trained at all." Steele snorted cutely, and pulled Xu Yi's hand and was about to walk towards the direction of the Royal Academy of Lampary in the east of the city, but suddenly stopped.
Xu Yi was a little surprised and pulled Steele, who was still standing there, but saw her looking at the diagonally opposite the road in a daze, as if she was stunned.
Xu Yi followed her gaze and saw two young men and women standing on the other side of the road.
