The relocation of the Vanilla Orchid Community's villagers could be considered the first large action of the Banta City renovation project, which meant that the Banta City renovation project was on the right track. So when the first batch of villagers moved in, the City Lord's Manor held a grand ceremony and even Count Samo personally came to preside over it.
Other than Count Count Samo, the large companies of the city had all sent representatives to participate in the ceremony.
The New Flyer and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce who were in charge of this project were naturally the focus of everyone's attention.
When Xu Yi and Kennard arrived, the ceremony hadn't even begun yet. The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's chairman Cruz saw Xu Yi and immediately came forward to greet him.
"How is it?
Chairman Xu, this Vanilla Orchid Community isn't bad, right? "Chairman Cruz asked Xu Yi with a proud look.
Xu Yi looked at him and found it a bit funny, "I've praised it many times, why are you still asking me?
If you want to show off, look, the Lord City Lord is over there, you should go find him. "
"Ha, ha, this project was paid for by your New Flyer for our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce. Now that it's finished, of course I have to report it to the one who paid for it.
As for the Lord City Lord, he has already praised us quite a bit. "
"Since the Lord City Lord is satisfied, then it's fine."
Xu Yi patted chairman Cruz's shoulder and said with a faint smile, "Chairman Cruz, since the first project was finished well, the Lord City Lord won't give the following projects to other companies.
If this Banta City renovation project is all done by the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, you will be rich. "
"This is all thanks to Chairman Xu's trust in us."
Chairman Cruz laughed. He suddenly came closer to Xu Yi and said in a low voice, "Chairman Xu, can I ask you two questions?"
"What questions?" Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
"The first question.
This Vanilla Orchid Community was built by our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, so in front of you, I'll tell you the truth.
Your New Flyer invested two hundred thousand gold coins to build this community, right?
Our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce spent a total of one hundred and seventy thousand gold coins and earned less than thirty thousand gold coins. "
"Un, chairman Cruz, you didn't earn much on my account, so I have to express my thanks." Xu Yi said with a nod.
"I didn't want to talk about this.
The problem is that our Amrit Chamber of Commerce has indeed earned money from this community, but I still can't see how your Frestech Chamber of Commerce can earn money from this.
This time, you've invested 200,000 gold coins. I don't see how you can earn back 200,000 gold coins, "President Cruise asked in confusion.
"Could it be that you've forgotten that this residential area is much smaller than the three villages?" Xu Yi asked back.
"I do know this.
But this community is outside Banta City and the three villages are very far from each other. The closest Mildan Village is over five kilometers away from Banta City.
Based on this distance, the value of the land on both sides isn't on the same level.
I still don't think this is a profitable business. "
Chairman Cruz knit his brows to think before asking in a low voice, "Chairman Xu, everyone's relationship is this good, so if you have a special way of earning money, you can let me hear it."
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile before shaking his head and saying, "Actually there isn't anything special.
Although those three villages are indeed further from Banta City, have you ever thought that those three villages are planned for Banta City's industrial area, not far from Sandton Manor?
If nothing unexpected happened, that area would become Banta City's industrial base in the future and all the factories in Banta City would move there.
Adding in the fact that your Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce is about to build a road, do you think ….. that the value of that land will be as low as it is now? "
Chairman Cruz thought for a bit before suddenly thinking of something. His eyes lit up and he revealed an understanding smile to Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, you really do have foresight, I admire you."
Xu Yi revealed a smile before asking, "Alright, what is your second question?"
"The second question …" President Cruise turned his head and pointed at the Vanilla Orchid Living Community where countless people were entering and exiting.
"This living community received the help of your company's design department and the elves, so it was very beautiful after it was built.
Now not only is the Lord City Lord satisfied, the farmers who moved in are also very satisfied. Even the people who came to visit the city are very satisfied.
Many people even asked me if they could buy one or two of the houses and use them as their own residence.
So I want to ….. "
"You want to build another living community and sell it?" Xu Yi asked.
Chairman Cruz looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Chairman Xu, how did you know what I wanted to say?"
Xu Yi revealed a smile. After hearing what you said, it would be strange if I couldn't guess what you wanted to ask.
The real estate industry was the most popular industry in China on earth, countless people relied on this industry to become rich.
Chairman Cruz saw how popular the houses were, so it wasn't strange that he wanted to earn a bit from this.
Actually, when Xu Yi and Samo Count discussed the overall plan for Banta City, they had considered this matter.
But whether it was Samo Count or Xu Yi, they didn't plan on relying on real estate to earn money. They just wanted to replan Banta City, creating a living community in the outskirts of Banta City, separating it from the industrial area.
So if chairman Cruz wanted to use the Vanilla Orchid Living Community to build houses to earn money, Samo Count wouldn't agree.
"Is that so?" Hearing Xu Yi's response, chairman Cruz was disappointed.
"I thought that with all the people in Banta City, this business would be very promising.
Ai, but since the Lord City Lord isn't willing to agree, we can only forget about it. "
Seeing the disappointed chairman Cruz, Xu Yi had an idea as he said, "Actually, it isn't impossible."
Chairman Cruz revealed a look of joy, "What do you think we should do?"
Xu Yi thought about it before saying, "The Lord City Lord just doesn't want you to take the planned living area and hinder Banta City's renovation plan, but outside of the planned area, there are many loopholes you can exploit.
For example ….. the private territory of the nobles. "
Chairman Cruz was stunned, "Noble territory?
That is their private territory, how could they agree to me building houses there? "
"Whether they agree or not, it depends on whether there are benefits for them or not.
You can tell them that as long as they build houses with you, they can earn large amounts of money. Which noble do you think will reject you? "
Seeing chairman Cruz fall into deep thought, Xu Yi laughed. He thought that as long as chairman Cruz was moved, he would definitely be able to move many nobles in the city.
When the private territory of the nobles was covered in commercial housing, at that time, it wouldn't be considered private territory anymore. When the houses were built, they would be marked as public.
Chairman Cruz didn't have much time to think because the ceremony was about to begin.
First Count Samo came on stage to give a long speech, giving a general introduction to the Banta City renovation plan of the City Lord Manor. He mentioned that the relocation of the three villages including Mildan Village was the first step of the Banta City renovation plan and there were other measures to follow.
After the basic introduction, it was time for Xu Yi and chairman Cruz to give their speeches.
Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to give a long speech like Samo Count. They just expressed that the New Flyer and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce would support the Lord City Lord's decision, doing their best to complete the tasks the Lord City Lord gave them … …
When everyone had spoken, Count Samo officially announced the start of the relocation.
Next was the first batch of 100 households that had been prepared long ago. With the help of the city guards, the villagers moved the pots and pans, bedding, pillowcases, tables, beds, chairs, cabinets, and other daily necessities that they had brought from their previous homes into their assigned houses.
During this process, there were countless reporters who had been notified ahead of time that were looking for targets to interview.
For a moment, the scene became extremely lively. Everyone, including the villagers, had happy smiles on their faces. It looked very harmonious.
When this scene fell into Xu Yi's eyes, it made him think of a popular phrase from earth, putting on a show.
That's right, it was the City Lord Manor that notified these reporters. Count Samo wanted to use this ceremony to put on a show, letting everyone know that the Banta City renovation plan couldn't be stopped and would definitely continue.
Although Xu Yi knew the importance of putting on a show, he wasn't used to this. After simply answering the questions of the reporters, he pushed the general manager Kennard out and had him accept the interviews. He secretly snuck out and came to the Academy of Magic in the city.
Compared to when there were only Evita and the other ten researchers, the current Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce had recruited thirty four magicians in the last wave and had expanded by several times.
Originally, other than providing a place for Evita and the others to conduct research, the research institute was also able to provide housing for Cecilia and the others. Now, there wasn't even enough space for each researcher to have their own research room. Because of this, the new researchers had to squeeze into the same research room.
Of course, compared to the working environment of many magicians before, this Academy of Magic was already much better, so there weren't any researchers that complained.
Of course, even if they did, they wouldn't dare say it because Great Magician Camilla also worked at the Academy of Magic.
Compared to his excellency Great Magician, what did they count for?
But even if no one complained, Xu Yi was still considering buying a place outside the city and building a New Flyer research center.
If he gathered all the researchers of the company there, it would make it easier for everyone to work together.
But there weren't many places like this, so he had to let these magicians squeeze in here for now.
When Xu Yi walked through the door of the research institute, he saw Akali walking in.
Seeing Akali's angry appearance, Xu Yi couldn't help being surprised.
