Using the power of the magic industry to drive a new entertainment industry in Sines wasn't something Xu Yi came up with on a whim.
When he first transmigrated to this world and felt that this world's entertainment was extremely poor compared to Earth, Xu Yi already had the idea of using magic to change the entertainment model of this world.
The magic piano model he made in the Senkaiser Academy was a small experiment.
Later, with the creation of the New Flyer and the popularization of magic machines on a large scale, Xu Yi's idea became stronger and stronger.
It was just that he couldn't find a good and suitable idea to push this matter forward.
This time, because of the illusion magic array he learned from Elder Undine, after developing the Magic Illusion Projector, Xu Yi was inspired and immediately extended countless ideas from the entertainment industry on Earth.
Building a film and entertainment base would make it more convenient to shoot more illusion films.
As for where this film and entertainment base would be built, after some consideration, Xu Yi decided to cooperate with the Azshara Tribe and build it here.
Firstly, the illusion magic array was learned from the Azshara Tribe, so when building the film and entertainment base here, when shooting illusion films, it would be much more convenient to use the Azshara Tribe's mastery of the illusion magic array.
Secondly, this could be considered as an attempt by Xu Yi to strengthen the relationship between the Azshara Tribe and human society and to promote further integration between the elves and humans.
According to Xu Yi's plan, if everything went well, this film and entertainment base would inevitably become a very famous place in the future. It would attract the attention of countless people just like the film and entertainment bases on Earth.
The Azshara Tribe wasn't ready to welcome a large number of humans yet, but as long as this film and entertainment base was built, as the illusion films became more and more popular, the Azshara Tribe would sooner or later accept the participation of humans and truly integrate with human society.
After explaining to Elder Undine in detail the role of this film and entertainment base and the various benefits it could bring to the Azshara Tribe, Elder Undine pondered for a moment, but didn't immediately agree. Instead, she said that she would seriously consider it.
Xu Yi was very satisfied with this answer.
Having been in contact with the elves of the Nightsong tribe and the Moon Shadow tribe for a long time, Xu Yi believed that he knew the elves very well.
The elves were generally arrogant. If they were unwilling to do something, they would definitely reject it without hesitation.
Since Elder Undine had promised to consider it, it meant that she was already tempted.
As for how to persuade him, that would be left to Stiel.
After all, Xu Yi had only made suggestions regarding the film and entertainment base and the promotion of the entire Sines entertainment industry. The specifics were left to Stiel and her New Moon Chamber of Commerce.
As for Xu Yi himself?
Of course, he had to focus more on New Flyer and the development of the magic industry.
Through the cooperation of the Azshara Tribe and the Kingdom of Ruhr, the biggest benefit that New Flyer obtained was that the Kingdom of Ruhr had greatly increased the share of mineral resources they provided to New Flyer.
This greatly satisfied the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's increasing demand for products. With the Frestech Chamber of Commerce expanding their production scale and popularizing the automatic production magic machines, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's production capacity quickly increased.
In the final month of year 3785, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had produced a total of seven thousand two hundred and nineteen Variable Temperature Magic Air Conditioners. Compared to the three thousand one hundred and five of this year's first month, their production had more than doubled.
The Xinfei Brand household magic machines didn't need to worry about sales in the surrounding countries, they could sell as much as they produced. Now that their production had greatly increased, naturally their profits had greatly increased.
In the final month, New Flyer had earned a net profit of one million one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins from the household magic machines. Whether it was compared to the beginning of the year or the same period last year, this was a large increase.
At the end of the year, New Flyer's total profit for December had reached a shocking two million four hundred and thirty thousand gold coins. Calculating the total profit for the year, it easily broke the prediction of twenty million gold coins at the beginning of the year, reaching two million six hundred and seventy thousand gold coins.
With such terrifying profits and shocking profits, it meant that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had become a first class company in the surrounding countries, surpassing countless old companies.
In terms of influence, New Flyer was even more outstanding.
Whether it was the Lampari Kingdom that had a deep relationship with New Flyer, the Kingdom of Ruhr that had recently deepened their cooperation, the Drake Duchy, the Mirando Duchy, and the other small countries, or even the Sack Kingdom that had conflicts with New Flyer before, they all rushed to cooperate with New Flyer.
Even if Xu Yi didn't cause a stir in these countries with a stomp of his foot, at least the words he said right now were things that no one could ignore in these countries.
Not to mention that New Flyer had a large influence on these countries with the magic machine industry. Just based on New Flyer itself, it was already a power that couldn't be ignored.
Because of the conflict with Count Wein and the loss from the Sack Kingdom's sneak attack, Xu Yi had greatly increased the investment in New Flyer's guards after stabilizing the situation in the Principality of Constantine.
At the end of the year, the New Flyer's guards had gone from just over two thousand people to over six thousand people.
Among the extra four thousand people, there were eight hundred dwarven warriors, one thousand and five hundred beastmen warriors, and the rest were human warriors recruited from various places.
As for the elven warriors ….. Although there were quite a few elves from the Nightsong tribe and the Moon Shadow Tribe that responded to the New Flyer's recruitment, they didn't join the New Flyer's guards. Rather they joined Xu Yi's subordinates, being considered Xu Yi's personal guards.
There weren't many elven warriors, only three hundred of them, but because the elven warriors were known for their individual strength in the Sines, to many people, they were much stronger than the eight hundred dwarven warriors and the one thousand and five hundred beastmen warriors.
So just based on the warriors of various races that the New Flyer's guards had and Xu Yi's thousand personal guards, the New Flyer had a strength that couldn't be ignored.
And with the military magic machines that the New Flyer made, as well as the powerful understanding of these military magic machines that they had trained for a long time, their battle strength was naturally even more terrifying.
In the surrounding countries, there was a common understanding.
Even if the New Flyer only sent out a thousand guards, it would be enough to easily defeat ten thousand soldiers from the other countries.
This was because the guards of the Xinfei merchants had already surpassed this era, they weren't on the same level as the armies of the other countries.
But in Xu Yi's eyes, this was far from enough.
"Everyone look, these red dots are the islands that the guard fleet has discovered on the endless seas that are worth developing, there are a total of thirty seven of them."
In the conference room of the New Flight Commerce Main Base, Xu Yi was standing in front of a giant wooden board, pointing at a giant map on it as he spoke.
"According to Leslie's report, these islands have all kinds of good mineral resources and rich magic materials, so they are worth developing. The most important thing is that these islands aren't under anyone's control."
Heinz, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, laughed and said, "Of course. These islands are at least a few hundred kilometers away from the coast. Which country would be so bored as to come so far and develop them?
Not mentioning anything else, just transporting people and goods is very risky, so the cost is too high. "
"Un." Xu Yi nodded.
"But this isn't a problem for us.
Now that we have five large transport Magic Ships, we can easily transport people and goods to these islands.
But we have a serious problem, which is that we don't have enough people. "
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other with helpless looks.
Even if the company had been recruiting workers since last year, because of the strike, Xu Yi had fired eighteen thousand workers at once, causing the company to suffer heavy losses. Even now, they still hadn't been able to replenish their losses.
The New Flyer's production capacity had increased and the most important reason was that Sancheli had made a breakthrough with the automatic production magic machines, which replaced many of the jobs that needed manpower.
But there were many steps in the production of magic machines that couldn't be replaced by the automatic production magic machines, so the New Flyer was still suffering from a lack of manpower.
Moreover, the lack of manpower that Xu Yi mentioned wasn't just the workers, but also the guards.
To develop on these islands that were several hundred kilometers away from the coast and over a thousand kilometers away from the New Flight Commerce Main Base, it was necessary to arrange guards.
But to arrange guards for thirty seven islands, even if they only arranged a hundred guards on each island, they would need close to four thousand guards.
If they really arranged this, what about the defenses of the New Flight Commerce Main Base, the transport fleet, and the factories in other places?
These places also needed large amounts of manpower and were indispensable.
"The manpower problem can't be solved in a short period of time, so for this situation, I've decided to use another method to solve it." Xu Yi continued.
Everyone focused and looked at Xu Yi.
Sir President's ideas would often be a little whimsical, making people feel that it was inconceivable. It would even make people wonder if he was crazy. However, it had been proven many times that his ideas would always have a good effect, and the final result would always be good.
"Since it isn't realistic to send enough guards to each island, then we'll give up on this idea.
"My plan is to set up defensive measures on these islands, but not to assign specific personnel to guard them.
As for the main guards, they will be placed in the guard fleet. "
"Although we currently have a guard fleet led by Leslie, that is far from enough.
My request for the guard fleet is that they need to be able to control this sea area.
Specifically, I want this sea area to become our New Flyer's back garden.
The final goal is to use this chain of islands and the guard fleet to control this sea area, turning this sea area into our New Flyer's sea kingdom! "
"Peng!"
Xu Yi slapped the map of the sea area on the wooden board and the expressions of everyone in the conference room changed.
Sir chairman's ambition ….. wasn't it a bit too big … …
