After entering September, it was getting closer and closer to this year's fall harvest.
The people of Banta City were surprised to find that although the agricultural promotion policies of the City Lord Manor didn't change on the surface, there was a large change in the implementation process. They were no longer suppressing all business in the city like before, rather they were secretly announcing a series of normal policies that promoted the development of Banta City's businesses.
For example, just a week ago, the City Lord announced a new policy. He announced that he would continue the renovation plan of Banta City. According to the plan Satsuma Count had when he was the City Lord, he would completely renovate Banta City and turn it into a new beautiful city.
The people of Banta City were clear that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was the main contractor of Banta City's municipal renovation project. Since Count Stagg took over as Banta City's City Lord, it was clear that he was targeting the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so he gave the order for this municipal renovation project.
Now that Count Count Stark had suddenly changed his mind and continued with this plan, it seemed to everyone that this was the City Lord Manor.
This was simply slapping his own face.
However, after seeing the measures of the City Lord Manor, everyone found that this Count Stark still cared about his face very much.
Because according to the rules of the City Lord Manor, although the renovation plan would continue, it wouldn't be mainly carried out by the New Flyer like before, rather it would be led by the City Lord Manor. The New Flyer was just one of the companies that the City Lord Manor worked with in this renovation project.
In other words, Count Stark wasn't planning on giving the New Flyer special treatment like Satsuma Count before. Rather he was acting aloof, treating the New Flyer as a normal company that could receive orders from the City Lord Manor.
As for the New Flyer's reaction?
The New Flyer didn't react at all.
As for the policies of the City Lord Manor and the policies that were clearly loosening the restrictions on business in Banta City, the New Flyer didn't react at all.
There were many companies in Banta City that became active again because of Count Stark's loosening, but the New Flyer didn't have any intention of returning to Banta City to develop. Rather in the middle of September, they announced several unrelated important news in the « Banta Times ».
The first was that the New Flyer was planning to work with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, the Renekton Chamber of Commerce, and the Armani Chamber of Commerce to invest in the Black Rice Wasteland. The first phase of the project was to build a small production base on the Black Rice Wasteland. It would include a household magic machine factory, a mining magic machine factory, and a large textile factory for the Armani Chamber of Commerce.
The second was something that the New Flyer had been planning for half a year. The three mines and a canned fruit processing factory in the Principality of Constantine had entered the investment phase and would start construction by the end of the year.
The third was an agreement between the New Flyer and the Kingdom of Ruhr. They would build a factory to produce agricultural magic machines in Mandira City to the north of the Kingdom of Ruhr near the Lampari Kingdom's border, which would satisfy the large demand for agricultural magic machines in the Kingdom of Ruhr.
The fourth was the most shocking one. It was that the New Flyer had announced a five year plan in the « Banta Times ».
According to this plan, in the next five years, the New Flyer would first build production bases in Karma City, Saltan City, Canberra City, and Norton City in the first two years. This would allow the New Flyer to expand the range of their magic machines.
Then in the next three years, the New Flyer would use this experience to build factories in various parts of the Lampari Kingdom, allowing the magic machines to cover the entire Lampari Kingdom.
It had to be said, this five year plan was filled with ambition. It was completely different from the stable style of the New Flyer before, taking one step at a time.
Not to mention that with the three pieces of news from before, it proved that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had suddenly changed their style. They were leaving Banta City and investing in various places, as if in the blink of an eye, they were expanding in all directions.
Faced with this situation, everyone had a trace of doubt in their hearts. The New Flyer had only been established for two years and didn't have a deep background. Although they were developing quickly and their strength wasn't bad, if they wanted to expand like this, wasn't it too impatient?
"No, I don't think we're in a rush." Kennard looked at the reporters under the stage with a faint smile and slowly shook his head.
He had hosted the New Flyer's press conferences many times, so when he faced these reporters, he wasn't as nervous as the first time.
"On the contrary, our company has deeply researched all the plans and only released them after ensuring that they were feasible.
This five year plan is the result of our research. "
"But CEO Kennard, your New Flyer's previous investments ….. were just small ones. Now that you want to invest in various places, even investing in the Black Rice Wasteland, the Principality of Constantine, and the Kingdom of Ruhr, I'm very doubtful if you can support this large consumption."
"If you're talking about funding, then I have to tell you that there isn't a problem." Kennard's smile was filled with confidence.
"Our New Flyer's foundation isn't as deep as those old companies, but our company's profits have always been good, so there definitely won't be a problem in terms of funding."
The reporters under the stage couldn't help secretly nodding.
People could doubt the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's various problems, but no one doubted the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's finances.
This was because since the New Flyer was established, each product they released would create a wave of sales, which brought a large amount of income to the New Flyer.
Moreover, because the New Flyer kept innovating in terms of technology, each product of the New Flyer kept being updated. Even if it was the Magic Fan that had been around for two years, the New Flyer kept improving it, so the magic machines they released before still had quite a bit of sales.
For example, in the middle of summer this year, the New Flyer released three different Magic Fans at once.
One was a small Magic Fan that could be placed on a table like the previous Magic Fan. There weren't many changes, but the material and appearance had been improved, making the new Magic Fan lighter and more beautiful.
The second was a Magic Fan with a longer base that could be placed on the ground and moved around at will.
The advantage of this Magic Fan was that because it had a base to support it, the angle could be adjusted, so there was more freedom.
The third was a ceiling Magic Fan that hung from the ceiling.
Compared to the previous two Magic Fans, the ceiling Magic Fan was directly hanging from the ceiling, so there was no freedom at all. But compared to the previous two Magic Fans, the ceiling Magic Fan was much more powerful, so naturally the wind it blew out was much stronger.
If there was a ceiling Magic Fan hanging from the ceiling of the living room, once it was turned on, the entire living room would be blown by the wind.
In this summer, the sales of the first Magic Fan were the same as last year, only increasing by a bit. However, the sales of the last two Magic Fans exploded.
According to the information the « Banta Times » obtained from the New Flyer, in the three months of summer, the New Flyer's floor Magic Fan had sold one hundred and sixty thousand units and the ceiling Magic Fan had sold over eighty thousand units.
Combining the floor Magic Fan's price of six gold coins and the ceiling Magic Fan's price of eight gold coins, just from these two Magic Fans, the New Flyer had earned a terrifying one and a half million gold coins in sales.
Even if the New Flyer didn't reveal their true profits to the « Banta Times », according to their estimates, the New Flyer had earned a large profit of at least five hundred thousand gold coins from these two Magic Fans.
And this was just the Magic Fan. In this summer, the Xinfei Brand Magic Air Conditioners and Magic Refrigerators produced by the New Flyer also sold well. Adding in the stable sales of the other household magic machines, the lowest profit for the New Flyer in terms of household magic machines was over a million gold coins.
As for the production magic machines that were as important as the household magic machines, although the New Flyer didn't give any specific data, there were many magic machine companies that appeared in the other cities of the Lampari Kingdom and the production magic machines they used were all provided by the New Flyer.
Just based on this, it could be seen that the sales volume of the New Flyer in terms of production magic machines wasn't inferior to the household magic machines.
Combining these two statistics, one could easily come to a conclusion. It was that the New Flyer didn't have any financial problems.
"No, I'm not doubting the funds, rather I'm doubting the manpower."
The reporter who asked this question kept asking, "Mister Kennard, when I interviewed Chairman Xu before, I asked him several times why the New Flyer's magic machines were so popular, but the New Flyer never thought of expanding to other places to promote their magic machines. He said that the time wasn't right and that they lacked manpower.
But now that your New Flyer has suddenly announced that you're investing in all these places, could it be that the manpower problem has been solved? "
"It's a pity that the manpower problem is still a very big problem and it hasn't been solved yet." Kennard gave a sigh as he said in a regretful voice.
"Then isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to make such a rash plan?"
Kennard revealed a faint smile, "Sir chairman said that there will definitely be problems, but rather than waiting for the problem to be solved, it's better to move forward and solve the problem.
If we don't take the initiative to seize the opportunity, it won't jump into our hands. Our New Flyer made this five year plan to give ourselves pressure and urge us to work hard to develop. "
The reporters under the stage couldn't help secretly nodding.
"Chairman Xu really is a bold chairman, I deeply admire him." That reporter couldn't help praising him with a nod.
"Many thanks for your praise, I think that sir chairman will be very happy when he learns of this."
Kennard said with a smile, "Alright, other than announcing the five year plan, I also want to announce something else.
In a month, our New Flyer will be holding the Xinfei Road Bicycle Race outside Banta City. I hope that people who are interested in this will participate. "
All the reporters under the stage were stunned.
Road Bicycle Race?
What kind of thing was this … …
