Compared to the secretive cooperation between the Kandla Empire's navy and the New Flyer, which could even be considered sneaky, the other empire of Sines was much more open.
The New Flyer's first fleet's exploration of the northern seas ended when they arrived at Stasom Harbour. This meant that there was finally a sea route between the Principality of Constantine and the Malor Empire.
After entering spring, the ice in the northern seas gradually melted. The New Flyer's first fleet that had been in Stasom Harbour for close to two months brought large amounts of ores from Stasom City and the surrounding areas back to the Principality of Constantine.
After the New Flyer's first fleet left, there was a motorcade of large transport Magic Cars and traditional horse carriages that headed to the north of the Malor Empire.
Most of the goods in this motorcade came from the New Flyer and the other magic machine companies that had invested in the Malor Empire. A small part came from the large Malor Empire companies, as well as the nobles of the Malor Empire led by the Marquess Of Southguard.
According to the plan drawn up by the New Flyer, in the next few years, they would use the northern sea route to build a new magic machine industrial base around Stasom Harbour, transferring goods through Stasom Harbour.
The Marquess Of Southguard and the other nobles of the Malor Empire were very interested in this plan, so they joined in after being invited by the New Flyer.
"Manager Hogan, this place is just too barren. Not only are there few people, there are few resources and it's so cold that people can't stay outside at all. Why is your New Flyer interested in this damn place?"
Hogan turned to look at Viscount Seymour Makaros, who was wrapped in a fur coat and only half of his face could be seen. He thought to himself that the chairman's evaluation of this fellow was not wrong at all.
This fellow was simply a good-for-nothing.
It was already early spring and even if Stasom City was in the northernmost part of the continent, it was already past the coldest winter. There was even a bit of warmth coming from the sun above, but this fellow was still afraid of the cold like this. He really was useless.
Looking at Baron Franklin Southgate standing straight beside him, he was only wearing a thin coat with a thin sweater underneath. He didn't show any fear in the cold wind, rather he had an excited and expectant look on his face. The smile on his face was as bright as the sun shining down from above.
The Marquess Of Southguard and Duke Makaros were good friends, so why was there such a clear difference between their descendants?
This really made people wonder if there was a problem with the education of Duke Makaros' family … …
"Ke ….. Lord Viscount, this place just looks barren, but according to the dwarven investigation team our company sent out, just in the area under Stasom City's jurisdiction, there are two large iron mines with excellent mineral deposits. There is also a good copper mine and non-ferrous metal mine. Adding in the two Magic Crystal mines under our eyes, the mineral resources here aren't barren at all."
Seymour raised his foot to tap the ground that had softened a bit because of the spring breeze, as he revealed a look of disbelief.
"In this broken place, there are actually rich mineral resources under it?
Why can't I see it? "
Hogan rolled his eyes at Seymour in his heart. He thought that for a playboy noble like you, how could you compare to a professional dwarf master in mineral exploration.
Of course, he still had a smile on the surface, "When the professional mining magic machines arrive in a few days, you'll be able to personally see them open the mine."
Seymour gave a large yawn into the sky before waving his hand, "I'm not interested in seeing you mine.
Tell me, when will Stasom City's running water be ready?
Franklin and I might have to stay in this damn place for two years. If we don't even have running water, we'll go crazy. "
Franklin on the side looked away from the sea and the harbour before saying with a faint smile, "Seymour, before the New Flyer appeared, we never had running water, but we still came here."
"Che, before is before.
I could only hide in the villa on the mountain when it was hot in the summer, but now that I have the Magic Air Conditioner, I can stay wherever I want, I'm not even afraid of winter. "
After saying this, Seymour paused before turning to ask Hogan, "That's right, Hogan, let's not talk about those professional mining magic machines. Can you give me a few Magic Air Conditioners first?
Otherwise, the weather will become hot in a few months and I can't take it without a Magic Air Conditioner. "
"This is a small problem, the Lord Viscount doesn't need to worry."
Hogan said with a smile, "Actually, solving this problem is a bit related to the question you just asked me. Our New Flyer is already prepared."
"Oh?" It wasn't just Seymour, even Franklin looked over with an interested look.
"How is it related?"
"You just said that not only is this place barren, because of the cold in the winter, people can't take it?" Hogan asked with a smile.
"That's right, what about it?
Could it be that your company has a way to solve this problem? "
"Of course," Hogg replied confidently.
Hogan said with a confident voice, "Sir chairman has already considered that this place is too cold and winter will affect the progress of the factory, so we have already planned this ahead of time.
When our company is building the magic machine industrial base here, we will use the geothermal energy here and our company's newly developed magic machine heating system to provide the entire magic machine industrial base with winter heating. It will ensure that the people living and working in the magic machine industrial base won't be affected by the cold and can focus on their work. "
Seymour and Franklin looked at each other in blank dismay, "Magic machine heating system?
What is that? "
"This ….. It's very troublesome to explain it in detail, the two of you ….."
"Then I'll explain it briefly." Seymour waved his hand impatiently.
Seymour waved his hand impatiently, "To put it simply, the principle of this thing is the same as the Magic Air Conditioner. It uses magic to generate heat and then uses machinery to transfer the heat to where it needs to be, changing the temperature.
Look, the Magic Air Conditioner is this direct … … "
"Alright, alright, I got it, there's no need to say anything else."
Dicardo waved his hand to cut off Hogan's explanation. After giving another yawn, he turned to Franklin and said, "I woke up too early today, so I'm very sleepy.
Franklin, watch over this place for now, I'll come back after sleeping for a bit. "
Franklin nodded with a faint smile, "Alright, you can go."
Seeing Seymour get into his beloved flame red Magic Sedan and drive off, Hogan couldn't help knitting his brows.
Seymour and Franklin were here because they were the representatives of the Marquess Of Southguard and Duke Makaros.
If they were willing to cooperate, with the powerful influence the Southgate Family and the Makaros Family had in the Malor Empire, many things would become much easier.
But now that Seymour was lazy and didn't want to care about anything, it really gave Hogan a headache.
"Manager Hogan, Seymour has hated trouble since he was young, so you don't need to care about him. If you need our help with anything, you can come find me." Franklin suddenly said.
Hogan turned to look at Franklin and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
It was a good thing that other than Seymour, there was also Franklin.
Compared to Seymour, Franklin was also a noble. Whether it was knowledge, demeanor, or responsibility, he was countless times better than Seymour.
When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce established the magic machine industry base on Marquis Southgate's territory, it was said that Franklin had represented Marquis Southgate in contacting the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and the other companies. He had helped with this matter and had received the praise of everyone.
It's said that because of his excellence, the Southgate Family had already selected him as the successor to the family head.
Now that the Marquess Of Southguard had sent him here, it could be seen how important this magic machine industrial base was to them.
Of course, the Marquess Of Southguard had invested one million and four hundred thousand gold coins in this base, so it was normal to place some importance on it.
"Alright, Lord Baron."
Hogan paused before adding, "Actually, Lord Baron, there aren't many things here that you need to personally participate in.
Most of the time, you just need to supervise.
There are only a few times when you need to contact the officials and nobles of Stasom City and the surrounding areas, so you need to personally come out. "
"I understand." Franklin smiled and nodded.
Franklin nodded with a faint smile, "If you need me to come out, please don't be polite."
"Alright." Hogan replied before looking around and knitting his brows again.
"What?
Is there a problem? "Seeing the expression on Hogan's face, Franklin immediately asked this.
"Ke ….. Lord Baron, our company has a complete plan for this place, so there isn't a problem overall.
Look, this place is rich in resources, the terrain is open, and there is a harbour that is a transportation hub, so it is indeed a good place to build a base.
But ….. haven't you found a very serious problem? "
"Oh?" Franklin raised his hand to stop Hogan from continuing his explanation.
"Let me take a guess."
He walked around for a bit, looking into the distance from time to time. After knitting his brows to think for a bit, his brows suddenly relaxed and his eyes lit up. He asked Hogan with a smile, "If my guess isn't wrong, the serious problem you mentioned should be the problem of manpower, right?"
Hogan's eyes opened wide in surprise and he couldn't help giving Franklin a gesture of praise.
"Lord Baron, your eyes really are sharp!"
