Freeman was leading a group of people to think of a way to fix the bridge. Three hundred kilometers away in the Marquess Of Southguard's territory, it was also bustling with activity.
There were seventeen large and small Magic Excavators working at the same time, digging out deep holes in the wasteland that the Marquess Of Southguard had set aside for the magic machine industry base. Then they used Magic Forklifts to flatten the uneven areas, quickly turning this place into an easy to operate construction site.
Chairman Cruz was standing at the construction site, watching the progress of the project with a focused look.
Actually, for this kind of construction project, since the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and the New Flyer started working together, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had done this countless times, so they were already familiar with it.
Even if he as the chairman wasn't here, the five most experienced construction teams under him could definitely finish this beautifully and there definitely wouldn't be any problems.
However, Chairman Cruise still came and stayed at the construction site every day to supervise the work.
Even when there was a storm, he didn't leave the construction site. He waited for the storm to pass with his workers and then immediately directed the construction to continue, showing how important this project was to him.
Of course this could be understood since this was the second large project the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had in the Malor Empire other than the road from the southwest province to the Falk Kingdom, so naturally they had to place importance on it.
Moreover, this project was different from paving roads. It was helping the New Flyer and the other companies that came to the Malor Empire to invest in the New Flyer to build factories and worker residences. This was the old profession of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, construction.
The Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce was naturally responsible for paving roads and had already received the approval of the Marquess Of Southguard. Then in terms of construction, chairman Cruz had to display the strong advantage of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, trying to enter the construction market of the Malor Empire.
The Malor Empire was one of the two empires of the continent. Whether it was the size of its land or its population, it surpassed the Lampari Kingdom and the surrounding countries by several times. There was no doubt that this was a large market that made people drool.
If they could smoothly enter and control this market, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce had hopes of becoming a first class company on the continent.
Thinking of this, chairman Cruz felt a bit of gratitude towards Xu Yi.
If it wasn't for Xu Yi finding a chance to cooperate with the Marquess Of Southguard and bringing in the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, it was unknown when the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce would be able to enter this market.
Of course, the ones who needed to be most grateful to Xu Yi were the other companies that responded to the call of the New Flyer, especially the smaller magic machine companies.
With the strength of the New Flyer, it was completely possible for them to take over all the industrial planning of the magic machine industrial base in the Marquess Of Southguard's private territory. However, Xu Yi took the initiative to call for the other magic machine companies in the Lampari Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ruhr to invest in the Malor Empire. It could be said that he was giving them the meat in his bowl to eat.
However, even so, there were still some companies who questioned New Flyer's move. They felt that New Flyer had no confidence in investing in the Malor Empire, so it needed to rope in other companies to share the risk.
But this laughable question was immediately refuted by a large group of magic machine companies. Soon, there were over a hundred magic machine companies that applied to New Flyer, hoping that they would respond to the call of the New Flyer.
In the end, Xu Yi personally sent twenty three representatives to the Marquess Of Southguard's private territory to inspect it. Other than one company that withdrew, the remaining twenty two companies all expressed their willingness to invest here.
As for why that company withdrew … …
Chairman Cruz turned to look at the narrow dirt road that was hard to walk on after the storm to the southwest and he couldn't help giving a sigh as he shook his head.
In the Lampari Kingdom and the surrounding countries, they were already used to having flat roads everywhere. Suddenly coming to a place with such poor traffic, it really was hard to adapt. It was no wonder that company's representative didn't have confidence in this environment and announced their withdrawal.
Thinking of this, chairman Cruz thought for a bit before taking large steps with difficulty. He came to the side of a young man who was staring at a Magic Excavator.
"Hey, your excellency Baron, there's something I want to discuss with you."
The young man immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Chairman Cruz, I've said it many times, please just call me Franklin.
Speak, what is it? "
This young man was the Marquess Of Southguard's eldest grandson Franklin Southgate. He was only nineteen this year, but he already had the title of baron. He was chosen as the third generation head of the Southgate Family and had been carefully trained since he was young.
This cooperation between the New Flyer and the Marquess Of Southguard was very important. The Marquess Of Southguard had contacted the representative of this cooperation, Xu Yi, before sending his most beloved grandson to be in charge of this project.
Chairman Cruz had been with him for half a month and after interacting with him many times, he knew that although this Baron Franklin was only nineteen, he was very careful in his actions. Moreover, there were many times when he could make decisions for the Marquess Of Southguard, so he would come to discuss anything with him.
"Look, this is just a single storm and the surrounding roads are already ruined. It's hindering the progress of our project and will greatly affect the other companies coming in.
So I feel that it's best to improve the condition of these roads first. "
Baron Franklin slightly knit his brows, "But chairman Cruz, didn't you say that it would take quite a bit of time to pave a road to ensure its quality?
Like this, it can't be done in a short period of time, right? "
"No, of course it's impossible to build a road, but it can be done in a short period of time to improve the condition." Chairman Cruz said while shaking his head.
"Oh?
What do you need to do? "
Chairman Cruz looked around and his gaze fell on a few small mountains in the Marquess Of Southguard's territory and asked, "If I'm not wrong, those mountains should be made of stone, right?"
Baron Franklin swept his gaze over it and thought for a bit before nodding. "Yes, those mountains are made of stone.
But what does that have to do with what you just said? "
"It's fine as long as they're made of stone." Chairman Cruz laughed.
"My idea is very simple. I just want to get some stones from those mountains. Then, I'll put some sand around it. That way, the roads will be much sturdier. It will be much easier to walk on than it is now.
Since we'll have to pave roads here in the future, we'll pave the roads first and it won't be a waste.
What do you think? "
Baron Franklin blinked in confusion, "I don't know much about roads, but since chairman Cruz said it like that, I think it shouldn't be a problem.
But chairman Cruz, those mountains are completely made of stone, how are you going to take stones from them? "
"Hei, this matter isn't hard at all. There are so many magic machines here, not to mention a few small stone mountains, even if they were a bit bigger, they would be flattened in just a few days."
Baron Franklin looked at the small mountains in the distance that were at least a hundred meters tall and he couldn't help opening his eyes wide as he was secretly stunned.
These were mountains made of stone. According to what he knew before, it would take over a thousand people to flatten them and several months to flatten them.
But now chairman Cruz said that he could do it in just a few days, this was just too shocking.
But in this half a month, Baron Franklin had personally witnessed the incredible abilities of the magic machines brought by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce. His understanding of them had been refreshed countless times, so it wasn't as hard for him to accept them as it was in the beginning.
After thinking for a while, Baron Franklin nodded in agreement.
"Alright, this matter shouldn't be delayed. Chairman Cruz, you should arrange for people to do it as soon as possible.
The weather isn't stable during this time and it might rain again at any time. If we can solve this road problem as soon as possible, we can save quite a bit of effort. "
"The matter of digging up these mountains, do we need to ask sir Marquis for permission?" Chairman Cruz asked in a hesitant voice.
"No need." Baron Franklin shook his head with a firm expression.
Baron Franklin shook his head with a firm look, "Grandfather has already given this matter to me.
I believe in chairman Cruz's judgement and decision, so you can be assured with your people.
If you need any other support, please tell me as soon as possible. "
Chairman Cruz took a deep breath and looked over Baron Franklin with eyes filled with praise.
"Your Excellency Baron, the Southgate Family is very lucky to have such an outstanding successor like you.
I feel that sir Marquis is very proud of you, it's no wonder he sent you to manage this project. "
Baron Franklin revealed a faint smile, "Chairman Cruz's praise is too much.
Grandfather putting me in charge of this is also a kind of training for me.
If there is anything I haven't done well, please don't be polite and point it out.
Also, please directly call me by my name. "
Chairman Cruz laughed, "Alright, Franklin, sir Marquis and Chairman Xu attach great importance to this project, so my requests will be very high. There will be many things I need to trouble you with, so don't think that I'm too annoying when the time comes."
Baron Franklin's lips split open, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"How could that be?"
