Not every person of the Sack Kingdom was like the officers of the army headquarters, being forced to work with the New Flyer like they had eaten a bitter fruit.
At least most people of the Sack Kingdom welcomed the arrival of the New Flyer.
After the New Flyer set up a service center in Tucklin Town, the people of the Sack Kingdom could buy the most authentic Xinfei Brand household magic machines through this service center. They could also obtain the legendary New Flyer's new and perfect after-sales service that was like a spring breeze.
This was a service that was hard to obtain from other companies before.
For the people of Tucklin Town, the arrival of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a joyous matter worth celebrating.
When mayor Puyo welcomed the Lampari Kingdom's caravan on behalf of Tucklin Town, even if the New Flyer wasn't the main character, whether it was mayor Puyo or chief Alvin, they had introduced the New Flyer as the most important thing.
It was very simple, the New Flyer not only wanted to set up a service center in Tucklin Town, they would also choose a place outside Tucklin Town to build a household magic machine production base.
According to the plan, this production base would take up at least fifty thousand square meters. There would be a Magic Fan factory, a Magic Air Conditioner factory, a Magic Refrigerator factory, and a Magic Lamp factory.
Like this, the Xinfei Brand household magic machines would be produced in the Sack Kingdom, which would reduce the Sack Kingdom's tariffs. It would reduce the price in the Sack Kingdom and benefit many people.
But what the people of Tucklin Town cared about wasn't this, rather it was the job opportunities that would come with this production base.
According to the plan revealed by the New Flyer's chairman Xu Yi at the welcoming ceremony, after the initial four factories were built, they would recruit at least five thousand local workers.
Five thousand!
Adding up all the people in and out of Tucklin Town, there were only three thousand people.
The initial four factories of the New Flyer production base could take in all the people of Tucklin Town and it was far from being enough.
This didn't just mean that the people of Tucklin Town wouldn't have to worry about jobs, it would even benefit the people of the surrounding area.
This was the job of the New Flyer.
It had to be known, in the surrounding countries, working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was a dream for almost everyone.
Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's wages weren't the highest, the various benefits that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's workers enjoyed were things that the other companies couldn't compare to.
As for the companies in the Sack Kingdom, they weren't even worthy of carrying shoes for the Xinfei merchants!
As soon as the news spread, Tucklin Town and the surrounding areas were in an uproar. Countless people flooded into Tucklin Town and expressed their desire to work in New Flyer through the New Flyer product service center.
But the response they received was that they would only announce the recruitment after the first Magic Fan assembly factory was built, so they hoped that everyone wouldn't be in a rush.
Of course, people shouldn't be too disappointed.
This was because even though the New Flyer still needed some time to start recruiting, the other companies that came with the New Flyer had already started recruiting.
The fastest was the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
The caravan sent by the Lampari Kingdom this time included all the major companies of the Lampari Kingdom. The New Flyer had a cooperation with the Lampari Kingdom, so they weren't an exception.
Among these companies, the one that the Sack Kingdom attached the most importance to was the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
According to the agreement, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce would help the Sack Kingdom build a main road network. The first road would start from Palermo Town in the northern province of the Lampari Kingdom that was closest to the border between the two countries. It would pass through the Muerto Mountains and Tucklin Town before finally connecting to the Sack Kingdom's capital, Nordham City.
Once this road was built, it would mean that the Lampari Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom would have a direct connection for the first time.
Whether it was its political significance or its practical use, it was very important.
So the Sack Kingdom attached great importance to this road. Not only did chief Alvin accompany chairman Cruz the entire time, the Sack Kingdom's parliament had also sent various people to help, ensuring that this road could be built smoothly.
Of course, building this road required large amounts of workers. Even if the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had brought large amounts of skilled workers, they still recruited large amounts of manual labour from the Sack Kingdom according to the agreement.
Just to build the first two hundred and ten kilometer road from the border to Tucklin Town, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had recruited one thousand and seven hundred workers from the Sack Kingdom at once.
Even the experienced and knowledgeable Chief Alvin was taken aback by the scale of the project.
Moreover, because the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was close to the New Flyer, they also tried their best to give benefits to the New Flyer. Even for the one thousand and seven hundred workers that they recruited, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce actually gave them work injury insurance, compensation for serious illnesses, heat subsidies, and other benefits that most people in the Sack Kingdom had never heard of before.
So when the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's recruitment notice was released, there were countless people who came to apply.
Following this, the other companies of the Lampari Kingdom that came with the New Flyer and the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce announced that they would be investing in various factories in Tucklin Town, creating a wave in the Sack Kingdom in a short period of time.
"Go to Tucklin Town!"
This was the consensus of almost everyone in the Sack Kingdom.
The normal citizens wanted to go to Tucklin Town to find good jobs, the merchants wanted to go to Tucklin Town to find more business opportunities, and the nobles wanted to go to Tucklin Town to learn and see if they could pull these companies to their territory.
As for the high level members of the Sack Kingdom, they were all focused on Tucklin Town.
This cooperation in Tucklin Town was just an attempt for the Lampari Kingdom, but for the Sack Kingdom, it was a rare opportunity.
The Lampari Kingdom had changed because of the new magic machine industry led by the New Flyer, increasing their national strength in just a few short years.
If the Sack Kingdom could grasp this chance, they might be able to suppress the Lampari Kingdom again.
So when the Lampari Kingdom's caravan came to Tucklin Town, this town that didn't have any fame in the Sack Kingdom had become the center of attention of the entire Sack Kingdom. Countless people came from all over the Sack Kingdom and in less than half a month, this small town had become an incomparably prosperous place.
"Hey, Seveni, don't you feel that this situation is like Banta City in the past?" Xu Yi put down the « Lampuri Weekly » in his hand and asked Seveni who was sipping warm water this question.
The peace negotiations between the Lampari Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, as well as the actions of both sides, the « Lampuri Weekly » had followed the entire process.
As for the various changes in Tucklin Town, the « Lampuri Weekly » had described them in detail and even made a bold prediction. They said that Tucklin Town would become the industrial and economic center of the Sack Kingdom in the future, even having a position that wouldn't be inferior to the royal capital, Lordaeron City.
This prediction seemed a bit exaggerated now, but based on the development of Tucklin Town, it wasn't impossible.
Because this situation was indeed very similar to Banta City in the past.
However, when Seveni heard Xu Yi's question, she put down her teacup and shook her head.
"It only looks like it on the surface, but it's actually very far from it.
Banta City had your New Flyer in the past, so it became the first real magic machine industry city on the continent.
As for this Tucklin Town ….. I don't believe that you'll give them the core technology. "
Xu Yi laughed, "Of course."
Then he changed the topic, "But speaking of core technology, Seveni, what do you think of my proposal?"
Seveni slightly knit her brows. After thinking for a bit, she said with a nod, "Adding classes related to the magic machine industry in the various schools isn't bad, but this is teaching theoretical knowledge, it's not as attractive as directly teaching technical knowledge.
In the end, if you learn the technology, you can enter the magic machine companies as a high level worker and earn quite a bit.
But if you learn theoretical knowledge ….. how can you see the results? "
"That depends on how determined you are." Xu Yi said with a faint smile.
"Right now, other than our New Flyer, the other magic machine companies don't invest enough in magic machine industry research. They don't attach importance to it at all, so naturally other people don't attach importance to it.
Our company attaches importance to talents in this field and gives them high wages, but just our company alone isn't enough to change everyone's thoughts.
If your Lampari Kingdom can invest in this, it will be completely different. "
"Of course I understand the importance of theoretical research.
The problem is ….. how do you want me to attach importance to it?
If we just add classes in the schools and there aren't any benefits to attract people, I don't think there's any meaning. "
"This is very simple. As long as you're willing, we can start with the first step of training people.
For example, our Frestech Chamber of Commerce has set up a special bursary fund in the schools of the Lampuri Kingdom, specially providing funds for students studying the magic machine industry and giving them a chance to work for our company after they graduate.
What do you think? "
Seveni gave a soft snort, "You're clearly using the resources of our kingdom's schools to train people for your company, you think I can't see through this?"
Xu Yi laughed, "This is mutual benefit.
If these people are trained, it doesn't mean they'll stay in our company to work.
As long as the Lampari Kingdom's companies can attract them, it wouldn't be strange for them to come back to the Lampari Kingdom, right? "
Seveni was silent for a bit before giving a sigh and shaking her head, "Forget it, I know that you can use all kinds of reasons to convince me, so why would I argue with you.
Alright, it's decided like this.
I will propose this to the kingdom's parliament and if it passes, I will urge the schools to implement this policy as soon as possible.
But Xu Yi, I need your New Flyer to cooperate. "
"This is something I proposed, how could I not cooperate." Xu Yi replied with a smile.
