Volume 2 Chapter 190 - The past Agnes was very proud (1/2)
All the large and small companies of Banta City were currently anxious over the actions that Count Stagg had taken after taking over as City Lord. While everyone was worrying, the Falling Rain Valley that was sixty kilometers away from Banta City was bustling, it was a scene filled with vitality and vigor.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce wasn’t affected by being forced out of Sandton Manor, everyone was busy with their work just like before.
The company was operating very smoothly. Not to mention the company’s leader Xu Yi not feeling anything, even the ordinary workers were very calm, without the slightest bit of unrest.
This wasn’t strange.
Perhaps to the other companies and citizens of Banta City, Sandton Manor was a very important place for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Now that Count Stagg was hostile towards Xu Yi and forced the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to move, causing them to lose this important base, which was a serious attack on Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce which would create large losses.
In reality, Sandton Manor was far from being as important as other people had thought.
In the beginning, Sandton Manor was indeed very important to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had been forced away from Viscount Leslie’s territory. They only had a single magic machine workshop and the household magic machine workshop left.
Although Sandton Manor wasn’t big, it was equal to all of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s production base, so it was clear how important it was.
However, after developing for a year and making progress in the Falling Rain Valley, the main production base of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already been shifted to the Falling Rain Valley.
In the current Falling Rain valley, just the number of household magic machine workshops had already reached eight.
When the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced household magic machines, they put them all in the same factory. The space was very crowded and the environment could be considered bad.
Now that the workshops in the Falling Rain Valley had been completed, Xu Yi provided a workshop for each household magic machine.
For example, there was a specific Magic Fan factory in charge of making Magic Fans.
This Magic Fan factory was even bigger than the two workshops at the Sandton Manor combined. The space and environment were naturally much better.
So when the Falling Rain Valley gradually started producing products, the two workshops at the Sandton Manor hadn’t been producing as much.
Under Xu Yi’s instructions, it had gradually changed into the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s machine development center.
It was different from the magic research facility that studied Magic Arrays that powered these magic machines, this development center was in charge of how the machines were designed.
Camby and the other dwarven magic mechanical engineers had made amazing progress at Sandton Manor, just this year’s agricultural magic machines had a total of thirteen improvements.
This year’s Banta City’s spring harvest went very smoothly and it went by even faster than last year, this development center had the greatest merit for this achievement.
So that meant that the machine development center was also very important to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, but its importance was different from the production lines. The production line’s most important parts were the workers, location, and the machinery. If they were forced to move, it would greatly impact the normal work of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
But for the development center, the most important thing was the data they had received from their experiments.
These things wouldn’t be affected by the move and at most it would just delay them by a day or two.
So in short, although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was being forced out of Sandton Manor, it didn’t affect their work at all.
Rather because the workers of the machine development center were dwarves, now that they were at the Falling Rain Valley, allowing them to be with their dwarven friends and family in the Falling Rain Valley, it made Camby and the other dwarven workers much more enthusiastic.
Among these people, the only ones affected who didn’t seem to adapt that well were the researchers of the magic research facility.
The magic research facility used to be in Banta City, so they could stroll around in Banta City in their free time.
But the Falling Rain Valley was a full sixty kilometers from Banta City. Even though the Fersen Carriage Company had opened a public transport line on Xu Yi’s request, it wasn’t convenient to go back and forth.
But even if they didn’t adapt that well, not a single researcher had a complaint.
After all, it was rare to see Xu Yi have such a strong stance on them moving. The researchers were already used to working for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic research facility and if they lost this hard earned job by angering Xu Yi, it was not something that anyone was willing to accept.
Moreover, life in the Falling Rain Valley was not as they imagined, being boring just because it was far away from Banta City.
On the contrary, after Xu Yi’s investment that spared no expense, adding in the highest quality construction work from the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and the beautiful decorations from the elves of the Night Song Tribe. With over four thousand dwarves that had settled here, the current environment of the Falling Rain Valley was something that everyone praised.
There were many researchers who weren’t satisfied with working in such a remote place, but once they got out of the horse carriages, they were immediately sucked in by the environment and forgot all their complaints.
