Chapter 34 Changes in Bangta City
The 3783 year of the Mainland calendar seemed to have traveled very quickly for the people of the Lampari Kingdom.
In the eyes of the people of Bangta City, it seems that it has passed in the blink of an eye.
At the beginning of the year, His Highness Prince Eric led the Zhenbei Army to attack the Kingdom of Sakh and won many victories. Then, His Majesty King Lampary XIII died of serious illness, and His Highness Prince Eric suddenly changed from His Highness to His Majesty the King.
As Prince Eric ascended the throne, Prince Sevini no longer served as the lord of Bonta City.
The new city lord did not bring much changes to Bonta City at first, and once made the people of Bonta City think that Bonta City would continue to develop smoothly.
However, it turns out that most people think too simply.
As summer begins, when the weather just gets hot, Bonta City immediately begins a series of dazzling changes.
First, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced that in order to respond to the call of the Kingdom Magic Industry Administration and promote the development of the Kingdom of Lampari's magic industry, it decided to transfer a series of magic machinery-related technologies it mastered to the Chamber of Commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration.
This transfer is different from the previous technology transfer and sale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the disclosure of the Bonta Daily, when transferring technology to the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce only charged a symbolic technology transfer fee. If the manpower and material resources invested by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in order to successfully transfer technology will be almost equivalent to free gifts.
Although the Bonta Daily did not say it clearly, anyone with a brain can see that such a technology transfer is by no means normal. It is clearly because the New Air Chamber of Commerce was forced to agree under the pressure of the Magic Industry Administration, or directly under the pressure exerted by His Majesty Eric.
A week after the Bonta Daily published this report, Nasi, editor-in-chief of Bonta Daily, announced his resignation and left Bonta Daily, which seemed to indirectly confirm this speculation.
When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced the technology transfer, dozens of large and small chambers of commerce appeared overnight in Bangta City.
Among these newly emerging chambers of commerce, there are ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration previously announced.
As for the remaining unknown small chambers of commerce, they naturally have more or less unclear relationships with these ten chambers of commerce.
The initial appearance of these chambers of commerce did not have any impact on Bonta City. However, when the hot summer passed and the slightly cold autumn wind blew into Bonta City, people all began to feel the obvious or insignificant changes brought about by these chambers of commerce, or the Xinfei Chamber of commerce, this technology transfer.

Fuller Morgan, president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, has been a little upset recently.
It is approaching the end of the year, which means that the year-end statistics that the Falkao Chamber of Commerce will be conducted at the end of each year are getting closer.
Before this, President Morgan had never been upset about this matter, because the Falcao Chamber of Commerce mainly engaged in iron ore business, which has always been extremely stable and rarely fluctuated. As the president, he only needs to verify the data he has recorded and can easily complete this work.
However, this year is different.
Or, it has been a little different since three years ago.
Three years ago, the creation of the New Air Chamber of Commerce led to the magic industry in Bangta City and the entire Lampari Kingdom. Because people's demand for magical machinery is getting higher and higher, the demand for iron is naturally getting higher and higher.
Under this huge demand, the iron ore sales of the Falkao Chamber of Commerce can be said to have skyrocketed year by year. The iron ore sales of last year alone are almost equivalent to the total sales of the new airline chamber in the five years before the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And because of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce steel mill, various steels with various characteristics quickly replaced the common cast iron that were commonly used in the past, resulting in a large part of the iron ore produced by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce being purchased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to refine steel, and only the remaining part will be sold to others for ordinary cast iron.
Although Xu Yi privately reached an agreement with Duke Joseph, as demand grew, the price of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce purchasing the Falcao Chamber of Commerce iron ore inevitably increased.
In just one year, the net profit achieved by selling iron ore to the Falcao Chamber of Commerce reached an extremely considerable four million gold coins.
According to President Morgan's estimate, as the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce began to expand last year and created production bases and various factories in various parts of the Kingdom to be put into production, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce's demand for iron ore will probably increase significantly again. Then the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's net profit alone in the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce this year may exceed five million gold coins.
At first, man's calculations were not as good as God's calculations, but President Morgan never expected that His Majesty King Lampary XIII suddenly passed away this year, and the situation in Bonta City suddenly changed drastically.
Among the ten chambers designated by the Magic Industry Administration, one of the Rockefeller Chambers of Commerce received some steel smelting technology from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and in just two months, with the assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, built five steel mills in one breath.
Compared with the two steel mills of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the five steel mills of the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce are larger in scale and have higher production capacity. The crude steel smelted in one month is even more than tripled in the previous month of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
With so much steel smelting, there is naturally a lot of demand for pig iron.
Logically speaking, the sales of pig iron have increased, and President Morgan, as the president of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, should be happy, but he was not happy at all, but was extremely upset.
The reason is very simple, the purchase price given by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is too low.
The price of iron ore sold by the Falkao Chamber of Commerce to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is already discounted because Xu Yi and Yuese agree that it has agreed. This year, it has just exceeded ten gold coins per ton.
However, the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce's bid for the Falcao Chamber of Commerce was cut in half at once, only a ton of hardware coins!
This price is even lower than the price of iron ore sold by the Falcao Chamber of Commerce before the emergence of the New Air Chamber of Commerce!
However, President Morgan has no right to choose. The Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce needs it. He must sell it.
As for the reason? Of course, it is because behind this Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is the Stark family, the arrogant nobles in the kingdom. There is even the shadow of His Majesty King Eric.
Even Duke Joseph could not compete with this force.
Regarding this situation, Duke Joseph had given instructions to President Morgan more than a month ago to sell President Morgan to the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce for a ton of hardware coins.
Because of this low price, President Morgan is very clear that the number must be ugly after this year's year-end statistics come out.
However, Duke Joseph had no choice but to do anything about this, so he was naturally powerless.
The only thing he could do was to curse Xu Yi in his heart.
"This idiot! Why do you have to transfer the steelmaking technology? Now, the price per ton of steel produced by the Rockefeller Chamber of Commerce is 10 gold coins lower than that of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Let's see how your New Flying Chamber of Commerce can continue to open a steelmaking plant!"
However, no matter how much he scolded, when he thought of Xu Yi, even President Morgan, who didn't like Xu Yi at the beginning, couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion and longing.
"Where did this guy go? Could it be that he really wants to give up the great foundation he has built in Bonta City?"

President Pompei, who was in chariots, was even more upset than President Morgan.
President Morgan was just upset that the Falcao Chamber of Commerce's profits this year will decline compared to last year, but President Pompei was upset that Filson might lose money this year!
Since he started working with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce and focusing on public transportation and long-distance freight transportation, Filson's profits have been growing rapidly.
Just last month alone, Filson's car company put aside all expenses and had a net profit of more than 200,000 gold coins.
If this trend continues, Filson's total profit this year will most likely exceed the 2 million gold coins last year, or even touch the three million gold mark.
But all this instantly turned into a bubble after an order from the City Lord's Mansion.
The content of this order is very simple. Specifically, it is to strengthen the management of Bangta City. The City Lord's Mansion will incorporate the public transportation system in Bangta City into the management of the City Lord's Mansion.
At first glance, this order is fine, but in actual implementation, one of it made President Pompei extremely angry.
According to the regulations of the City Lord's Mansion, since the public transportation system is under the management of the City Lord's Mansion, there must be certain norms and standards.
Of course, this statement is fine. The problem is that the standard mentioned by the City Lord's Mansion stipulates that the Bangta City public transportation system currently operated by Filson's Carriage and Horses Store must be comprehensively rectified, and all the magic locomotives under Filson's Carriage and Horses Store that are being used as participating in the public transportation system must be replaced with the magic locomotives designated by the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the magic motorcycle designated by the City Lord's Mansion... of course it is not a new flying license plate.
Among the ten chambers of commerce designated by the Magic Industry Administration that accepted the technology transfer of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, one Rafari Chamber of Commerce fully accepted some of the magic locomotive production and casting technology transferred by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
With the strong help of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, the Rafarley Chamber of Commerce built the first Rafarley medium-sized passenger magic locomotive in just two months.
At first, President Pompei was a little surprised that since the Rafarley Chamber of Commerce had accepted the technology related to magic motorcycles, why did the first one build a medium-sized magic bus, but it was not the most profitable magic sedan.
But when this order from the City Lord's Mansion appeared, he immediately realized.
The Rafari Chamber of Commerce has clearly colluded with the City Lord's Mansion and has been prepared for a long time!
However, no matter how much I know, President Pompei has no choice but to do so.
What can he use to resist the order issued by the Lord's Mansion of Bangta City, which represents the will of His Majesty King Eric?
Staring at the investment evaluation and analysis report he calculated after several days of comprehensive dressing up Rafarreli magic motorcycles, Pompei will sweat a little on his forehead.
If you obey the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, Filson's carriage and horse carriage will therefore invest at least more than two million gold coins for preliminary preparations.
Moreover, according to the requirements of the City Lord's Mansion, Filson's carriage and horse carriage must pay a deposit of 500,000 gold coins to the City Lord's Mansion every year because of contracting the city bus system of Bangta City.
In this way, not only will it definitely lose money this year, but it is probably impossible to recover the initial investment from this in the future.
After a while, President Pompei suddenly threw the evaluation analysis report heavily on the desktop and shouted angrily.
"Fuck! Since I can't continue, I'll stop doing it!" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
