The New Flyer's factory in Banta City had two large workshops that took over three thousand square meters and two small workshops that took over a thousand square meters. Adding in the office and the warehouse, the total area was over five thousand square meters.
Counting it all, they had already used over half of the one hectare rented, so there wasn't enough space left for the New Flyer to develop.
So even if everyone in the company was shocked when Xu Yi proposed moving, the leaders of the company agreed to this decision after Xu Yi's analysis.
Of course, they couldn't avoid a few complaints.
For example, when Camby heard Baron Belil's request, he spat out in disdain, "Pei!
Humans really don't care about honesty! "
The human leaders of the company led by Xu Yi could only swallow their spit and had nothing to say.
Moving an entire factory was a large and complicated project, especially since the New Flyer's factory had all kinds of production magic machines. Any one of them weighed several hundred kilograms or even a ton, so it wasn't an easy matter to move them.
It was a good thing that the New Flyer's factory had several hundred dwarves. With the dwarves' strength and physique that surpassed normal humans, they could really move these large fellows that could only be moved by heavy machinery on earth into the horse carriages.
Otherwise, if they relied on manpower, it would take a lot of effort just to move these production magic machines.
For this move, not only did the New Flyer mobilize all their employees, they also hired all the free labour in Banta City.
This was far from enough, Count Samo had even sent out five hundred Banta City guards to help with this move.
Seeing the dwarves and large human men with bare arms, sweating as they moved these large fellows onto the large horse carriages, Xu Yi couldn't help feeling a bit of regret.
If he could have developed the Magic Crane ahead of time, perhaps it wouldn't have been this troublesome.
Of course, no one would have thought that Baron Belil's request would come this suddenly. Even if Xu Yi had prepared his heart ahead of time, it was impossible for him to prepare everything.
For now, he could only try his best to remind the people in charge of the relocation to pay attention to the various things that needed to be paid attention to when moving large machinery and equipment, and try to minimize the losses as much as possible.
Xu Yi shook his head, "Not only will these magic machines be damaged from moving them around, just the fact that your New Flyer has stopped production for a few days is already a large loss."
The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's chairman Munn Cruz who had heard the news saw this lively scene and gave a sigh. He said in a regretful voice, "I wanted to rush you and have you finish the order for our company's Magic Concrete Mixers, but now it seems like it'll be a bit late."
Xu Yi shrugged and said, "I can't help it. I can't predict it either."
President Cruz looked at Xu Yi and suddenly lowered his voice as he mysteriously said, "Hey, Chairman Xu, I heard that your New Flyer's sudden decision to relocate was forced out by that newcomer, Baron Belil?"
Xu Yi looked at him and calmly said, "President Cruz, you can't speak nonsense.
This is the decision our New Flyer made for our future development, it isn't related to Baron Belil at all. "
Seeing Xu Yi's expressionless appearance, president Cruz laughed and didn't ask anything else.
Actually, anyone who knew a bit about this matter in Banta City was clear on this matter, but since Xu Yi and the New Flyer chose to remain silent, others wouldn't take the risk of offending Baron Belil or even the Stagg Family.
If it wasn't for the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and the New Flyer being close and chairman Cruz having a good relationship with Xu Yi, he wouldn't have asked this question at all.
"Right, Chairman Xu, I haven't asked you yet, where are you prepared to move to?" After a bit of silence, chairman Cruz couldn't help asking this.
"According to my original plan, of course I wanted to move to the Falling Rain Valley. Once and for all, I wouldn't need to worry about land for the factory.
But chairman Cruz, isn't the road to the Falling Rain Valley only half finished? "Xu Yi asked back.
Chairman Cruz glared at him, "What?
You think we're too slow?
This is already the fastest speed I've personally supervised, it's impossible to go any faster.
You have such high requirements for quality, so if I increase the speed and can't guarantee the quality, it would be strange if you didn't cause trouble for me. "
Xu Yi waved his hand with a smile, "No, no, no, you're mistaken, I don't think it's slow.
On the contrary, it's only been a month and we've already finished half of the road. In fact, it's very fast, so fast that I'm a bit worried about the quality of the road.
Of course, I have full trust in chairman Cruz and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, I believe that you won't make any mistakes in the quality of the road.
The reason why I asked this question is because even if I want to move all these big guys to the Falling Rain Valley, I don't have any way to do it.
Do you think those broken dirt roads that don't even have stone pads can safely transport these big guys in? "
Chairman Cruz shook his head without hesitation, "Definitely not.
It's spring now, the time of year when it rains the most. Those broken dirt roads are now covered in mud, if these big guys were to press on them, the carriage wheels would definitely sink in and wouldn't be able to move. "
"That's right.
So even though we're moving, we won't be moving far away. We'll be moving to Sandton Manor, which is a bit further away from here. "Xu Yi said.
"Sandton Manor?" Chairman Cruz thought about it before looking at Xu Yi in surprise.
"If I remember correctly, you bought this Sandton Manor three months ago, right?
Could it be that you expected this situation three months ago? "
"It would be bragging if I said that I expected this situation.
But ….. it's not wrong to prepare a bit ahead of time. "Xu Yi replied with a smile.
"There's already a temporary factory built in this manor. Although the environment is a bit simple, it's not a problem to maintain normal production.
So chairman Cruz, you don't need to worry too much, your Magic Concrete Mixers won't be delayed.
Don't forget, the Sandy River renovation project and the Falling Rain Valley road construction project both need the help of these Magic Concrete Mixers.
And these two projects are very important to me. "
Chairman Cruz looked at Xu Yi like it was his first time seeing him.
Sandton Manor was Viscount Sandton's private manor. Because Viscount Sandton's family had financial problems, Viscount Sandton had put this manor up for sale three months ago. In the end, it was bought by Xu Yi for a high price of three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins.
The people of Banta City thought that Xu Yi must have gone crazy.
Although this Sandton Manor was backed by a river and had a quiet environment, it was quite good to buy a manor for leisure. However, it was over fifteen kilometers away from Banta City, so it was a bit remote.
Moreover, the manor was less than two hectares. Even if the interior was well built by Viscount Sandton, it was impossible for it to be worth three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins.
According to the valuation of the nobles of Banta City, this manor should be worth around two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
But when this manor was being publicly auctioned, Xu Yi had suddenly charged out and participated in the auction.
Perhaps it was because they were dissatisfied that a normal merchant like Xu Yi wanted to buy this manor, but there were several nobles who competed with Xu Yi. The price kept rising and finally it reached a shocking three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins.
Three months ago, the people of Banta City valued the New Flyer at five hundred thousand gold coins, but Xu Yi had taken out three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins to buy a trivial manor. Naturally everyone thought that Xu Yi must have gone crazy.
Even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's products always sold well and they had a high profit margin, making the Frestech Chamber of Commerce have more liquid funds than normal companies, taking out three hundred and seventy thousand gold coins at once was equal to emptying the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's treasury.
To the other merchants and chambers of commerce, such an approach was the height of stupidity.
Even if many people thought that Xu Yi wanted to buy a piece of land for the New Flyer, this price was still a bit high and wasn't a wise choice.
However, Xu Yi insisted on doing this.
Chairman Cruz was very confused by this and tried to persuade Xu Yi, but Xu Yi had already made up his mind and didn't listen to him at all, forcefully buying this manor.
Today, three months later, when the New Flyer was faced with the problem of having to move, chairman Cruz suddenly realized that Xu Yi's decision to buy this manor was a wise and farsighted decision.
Actually if it was just buying the manor itself, this manor that was only two hectares could only be valued at a hundred thousand gold coins or even less.
But because Viscount Sandton's family was lacking funds, when he sold the manor, it was rare to see the land being sold as well.
Because the Lampuri Kingdom had never given land since it was founded, any piece of land belonging to a noble was very precious and wouldn't be easily taken out for sale.
If Viscount Sandton didn't have any other choice, he wouldn't have made this decision.
Adding in the fact that the land was being sold, this made the manor's value jump from a hundred thousand gold coins to around two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
It was because of this that Xu Yi met such a large obstacle when bidding for this manor, spending over a hundred thousand more than the estimated price to buy it.
Of course, looking at it now, this auction was very profitable for the New Flyer.
Having their own land, not only did it have a strong symbolic meaning, it also meant that the New Flyer could get rid of the restrictions of the Stagg Family's land.
At the very least, they wouldn't be forced to move just because of a few words from Baron Belil.
Thinking of this, chairman Cruz couldn't help revealing a trace of admiration as he looked at Xu Yi.
With a chairman who had such foresight and was willing to make decisions on key issues, the New Flyer would definitely develop more smoothly than anyone could imagine.
For the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, being able to have a partner like this was a very fortunate thing.
Chairman Cruz rolled his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Chairman Xu, you can be assured. Not only do you attach importance to the Sandy River project and the Falling Rain Valley road project, I also attach importance to them.
If our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce can smoothly complete these two projects, it means that our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce has two projects that other companies don't have the ability to complete.
Just based on this, I should thank chairman Xu from the bottom of my heart.
If it wasn't for your selfless help, our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce would have had this kind of opportunity and advantage. "
"Chairman Cruz is too polite. This is also because your Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce worked hard enough to grasp this opportunity." Xu Yi said.
Chairman Cruz laughed and was about to say a few more polite words to Xu Yi to pull their relationship closer, when he suddenly saw several horse carriages slowly approaching.
The horse carriage in the middle had the City Lord's Manor's symbol and the horse carriage behind had the Stagg Family's symbol.
Chairman Cruz immediately closed his mouth and pointed in the direction of the horse carriages to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi turned to look and revealed a faint smile, "Sir City Lord also invited Baron Belil over, is he planning on having him laugh at my current sorry state?"
