Volume 3 Chapter 84 - Expand (1/2)

For this, Xu Yi’s first suggestion was to advertise and his second suggestion was to give tangible preferential treatment.

Advertising was simple because the «Banta Times» was biased towards the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and because of Hannas, since he was also firmly behind Seveni. Since Seveni took over as City Lord, he spared no effort in advertising for Seveni.

Adding in the fact that Seveni had a good reputation and prestige in the minds of the citizens, only after being the City Lord for less than two months, she had a high prestige in Banta City already.

As for the actual policies, Banta City had an advantage that the other cities didn’t have, which was the policies that were included in determining this place as a special economic zone two years ago.

Adding in Seveni’s identity as a princess, she had more rights than others.

So when Xu Yi gave the suggestion of giving benefits, Seveni immediately announced a few plans for Banta City’s business development.

For example, what all companies paid attention to was the tax paid. Seveni announced that the City Lord Manor would reduce the business tax while encouraging growth of the magic machine industry, reducing the taxes of companies related to producing magic machines even more, while also giving them some preferential treatment.

Although many people secretly accused Seveni of using her position as the City Lord to help the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, after this was announced, all the companies in Banta City began producing magic machines, quickly entering the magic machine industry.

Some companies that had only dabbled in the magic machine industry before were now saying that they wanted to fully enter the industry, developing new magic machines.

Of course, this was just talk and the results were another thing.

There were many advertisements last month about Magic Fans with different internal and external structures, which was the result of this announcement.

But among these Magic Fans, most of them were failed products to Xu Yi.

But with these failed products, these companies could have the sign of producing magic machines, which meant that they enjoyed the reduced taxes.

Xu Yi naturally didn’t like this situation.

This policy was used to develop the magic machine industry in Banta City, but these companies were using it as a loophole.

Whether it was to help Seveni or develop the magic machine industry, Xu Yi had to solve this problem.

But it was like he had said to Seveni, if they wanted the companies that only cared about benefits to return, other than properly supervising them, the most important thing was giving them enough benefits.

Xu Yi thought for a bit before turning to the giant Lampuri Kingdom map that hung on the wall of the study.

Right now, the red dots on the map had become even more dense and were getting further and further away from Banta City. This meant that the companies related to the magic machine industry were beginning to spread to every part of the Lampuri Kingdom.

This large change had occurred in the last two months, with the main reason being the appearance of the Magic Car.

With the efforts of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce, there was over two thousand kilometers of road laid in the Lampuri Kingdom. Moreover, this was increasing at a rate of over fifty kilometers per month.

Now all the cities of the Lampuri Kingdom were connected with roads, so the circulation compared to before was like the difference between heaven and earth.

With the appearance of the Magic Cars, because the Magic Cars were much faster than horse carriages, magic machines and equipment for magic machines could be transported to every city in the Lampuri Kingdom. This had greatly increased the speed of the development of the magic machine industry.

According to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s last month stats, the household magic machine department had lost sales in Banta City. The Frestech Brand Magic Fan was selling 30% less compared to last year.

But when it came to total sales numbers, it was actually twice the amount of last year!

The extra close to twenty thousand Magic Fans were naturally being sold in the other cities of the Lampuri Kingdom.

Like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the other magic machine companies in Banta City were also selling their goods in other locations and greatly increasing their sales.

According to the stats from the Banta City Magic Machine Business Union, during this summer, the Magic Fans sold by the various brands reached over one hundred and thirty thousand units! This included sales from every city in the Lampuri Kingdom!

Other than the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the Magic Fans of the other companies were just a bit worse than the Frestech Brand and their prices were much lower, so they were selling in the countries bordering the Lampuri Kingdom.
