Regarding this, Xu Yi's suggestion to Seveni was to first advertise it and then give them some preferential policies.
The publicity was quite simple because the « Banta Times » was biased towards the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, because of Hannas, they firmly stood on Seveni's side. Since Seveni took over as the City Lord, they spared no effort in publicizing Seveni's name.
Adding in the fact that Seveni had a good reputation in the hearts of the Lampari Kingdom's citizens and had a high prestige, in less than two months after taking over as Banta City's City Lord, she had already established a very high prestige and a very good image in Banta City.
As for the actual policies, Banta City had an advantage that the other cities in the Lampari Kingdom didn't have. It was that it had been designated a special economic zone two years ago, so it had some special policies.
Adding in Seveni's status as the princess, she had even more privileges.
So after Xu Yi proposed some preferential policies, Seveni quickly decided to announce some policies to encourage business development in Banta City.
For example, the most important thing for the companies in Banta City was the tax policy. Seveni directly announced that the City Lord Manor would reduce the business tax and in order to encourage the development of the magic machine industry, she would also reduce the business tax for all the companies that produced magic machines. At the same time, she would give these companies some priority.
Although many people secretly accused Seveni as the new City Lord of being biased towards the New Flyer, with the announcement of this policy, no matter what company it was in Banta City, whether they were producing magic machines or not, they would all quickly enter the magic machine industry.
Some companies that were only experimenting with the magic machine industry before were now openly announcing that they wanted to enter the magic machine industry, developing new magic machines.
Of course, the slogan was one thing, but the actual effects were another.
Last month, there was a large pile of Magic Fans with different brands that appeared in Banta City, whether it was their outer appearance or inner structure, it was because of this policy.
But among these Magic Fans, most of them weren't qualified products in Xu Yi's eyes.
By relying on these substandard products, these merchant guilds could advertise that they were also producing magic machines and enjoy the business tax reduction policy.
Xu Yi naturally couldn't accept this situation.
This policy was to encourage the development of the magic machine industry in Banta City, but it was used by these companies to take advantage of this loophole.
Whether it was to help Seveni or for the healthy development of the magic machine industry, Xu Yi had to solve this problem.
But like he said to Seveni, to get these companies that only cared about benefits back on the right path, other than punishment, the most important thing was to give them enough benefits.
Xu Yi thought for a bit before turning to the large map of the Lampari Kingdom on the wall of the study.
There were more red dots on the map than before and there were also red dots that appeared in places far away from Banta City, which meant that the companies that were related to the magic machine industry had spread in every part of the Lampari Kingdom.
This large change had occurred in the past two months and the main reason was the appearance of the Magic Car.
With the efforts of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, there were currently over two thousand kilometers of roads in the Lampari Kingdom and it was still increasing at a rate of over fifty kilometers per month.
Now that all the cities in the Lampari Kingdom were connected by roads, the flow of traffic was completely different from before.
With the appearance of the Magic Car, because the Magic Car's capacity and transport speed far surpassed horse carriages, whether it was finished magic machines or magic machines, they could be easily transported to any city in the Lampari Kingdom. This greatly increased the development of the magic machine industry in the Lampari Kingdom.
According to the statistics from New Flyer last month, the sales of the household magic machines produced by New Flyer in Banta City had dropped. The sales of the Xinfei Brand Magic Fans had dropped by 30% compared to last year.
But if the total sales were included, it was more than double last year's sales!
The extra close to twenty thousand Magic Fans were naturally sold to the other cities of the Lampari Kingdom.
Just like New Flyer, the other magic machine companies in Banta City also sold their products to other cities and their sales had also increased.
According to the statistics from the last Banta City Magic Machine Business Association, in this summer, the various companies of Banta City had sold over one hundred and thirty thousand Magic Fans of various brands!
The sales locations included all the cities in the Lampari Kingdom!
Other than New Flyer, there were several companies whose Magic Fans were only a bit weaker than the Xinfei Brand Magic Fans, but their prices were much lower, so they were sold to the surrounding countries of the Lampari Kingdom.
The most exaggerated one was the Sarank Chamber of Commerce. He didn't know how they found a connection, but they actually sold five thousand Magic Fans to the Sack Kingdom. This really was something that Xu Yi never expected.
Moreover, according to chairman Rank, the Magic Fan was very popular in the Sack Kingdom, so he wanted to invite New Flyer to sell the other household magic machines produced by New Flyer to the Sack Kingdom as well.
Xu Yi was very supportive of this idea of earning foreign exchange, but with the production capacity of all the magic machine companies in New Flyer and Banta City, they couldn't satisfy the needs of the Lampari Kingdom even if they added them together. So they could only delay selling to other countries for now.
Thinking of production capacity, this was something that Xu Yi was currently having a headache over.
Limited by the development of the magic machines, the production capacity of the factories in New Flyer had reached a limit, while the demand for magic machines in the outside world had greatly increased.
Adding in the convenience of the Magic Car, there was a large demand for magic machines in the Lampari Kingdom. So New Flyer's production capacity was becoming less and less, so they were forced to give up the market in many cities to other companies that produced magic machines.
Although a part of this was because Xu Yi wanted to promote the development of the magic machine industry, the fact that there wasn't enough production capacity still existed.
There were many companies that could produce Magic Fans and Magic Kettles, but this wasn't very obvious.
But for the household magic machines that other companies couldn't produce, like the Magic Air Conditioner or the Magic Refrigerator, because only New Flyer was producing them, their production couldn't keep up with the demand at all.
Now the household magic machine factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were all working overtime, but they couldn't fulfill large amounts of orders.
To solve this problem, one was to expand New Flyer's production.
But because Banta City's population was limited and their labour force was limited, Xu Yi wasn't planning on fighting for workers with the other companies, so he had been looking to other cities recently. He planned to move New Flyer's household magic machine factories to other cities.
In this month, New Flyer had built three household magic machine factories in Saltan City, Norton City, and Canberra City to share the pressure of the Falling Rain Valley's production.
When the other companies of Banta City saw the actions of New Flyer, they immediately followed in the footsteps of New Flyer, opening factories in these three cities.
Adding in the small magic machine companies that already existed in these cities, now these three cities were like Banta City from two years ago, entering a stage of rapid development.
The wages of the local workers in these three cities had soared from less than five gold coins at first, now it was over ten gold coins on average.
Even if it was far from the average wage of Banta City, compared to the average wage of these three cities before, it was already several times higher.
After these three cities, Xu Yi was planning on expanding New Flyer even further into Cramer City. After that, it would affect Anvilmar City before affecting the entire Lampari Kingdom.
If the entire Lampari Kingdom invested in developing the magic machine industry, the scene that Xu Yi dreamed of would appear even faster.
Other than expanding on his own, the other method was to find others to share the pressure.
Xu Yi decided to fully disclose the technology of the Magic Fan and the Magic Kettle to the other companies because he was considering this.
Other than disclosing these two technologies, Xu Yi was also planning on transferring the various household magic machine technologies to the other companies. In the end, there would be many companies that had the ability to produce household magic machines.
Like this, not only would it allow more companies to enter the magic machine industry, it would also force these companies to invest more in research in order to catch up to the quality of the Xinfei Brand household magic machines. This would allow the magic machine industry to develop even further.
Looking at the dense red dots on the map, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He took out a pen and drew several red lines from Banta City to Karma City, Saltan City, Norton City, and Canberra City, connecting these cities. Then he drew two dotted lines between Banta City, Canberra City, Banta City, and Sowell City in the northeast of the Lampari Kingdom, which represented where New Flyer would go next.
After doing this, Xu Yi gave a satisfied nod.
As long as he followed the plan step by step, sooner or later Banta City would be connected to many other cities in the Lampari Kingdom and the magic machine industry would spread across the kingdom.
"Du, du."
At this time, there were two soft sounds that came from the study door.
