Volume 5 Chapter 66 - First build a harbour (1/2)

The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom’s investment situation had many shortcomings in Xu Yi’s eyes, but the most important one was the traffic problem.

Not to mention the Lampuri Kingdom that had roads that connected all the cities and all the towns together, even the Rudson Kingdom, the Drake Duchy, and the surrounding countries that only had a few main roads wasn’t something the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom could compare to. The traffic situation in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom was actually worse than most countries of the Sines Kingdom.

The reason was that they were in the southeast corner of the continent. The climate was hot and damp all year round and the land was covered in forests, while there was plenty of rain. It caused the earth to be quite soft and wasn’t good for transportation.

Although the thirteen companies including the Huayue Chamber of Commerce used their powerful finances to build several stone and soil roads across the kingdom, these weren’t that good to begin with. Also, because it was hard to maintain it in this climate, they really weren’t that much better.

Not to mention that to Xu Yi, the longest road was only two hundred kilometers long and five meters wide, which meant that it couldn’t handle the task of transportation at all.

So the first issue that he had for Gaza was hoping that the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom could solve this problem.

Gaza wasn’t surprised by the issue that Xu Yi raised, but he was helpless.

When he went looking for vice chairman Riley, he wanted to contact the Amrit Chamber of Commerce and have them come to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom to build roads.

When Gaza had gone to the Mirando Duchy last year because of a business trip and experienced the benefits the roads had brought to the Mirando Duchy, he had been moved by this strange new thing.

If the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom could also have these cement roads, it meant that they wouldn’t need to be worried by their transportation situation.

As a qualified merchant, Gaza was clear on how important proper transport was to a company.

So after finding vice chairman Riley, he had promised that wide plan to him, but he wasn’t surprised that he was rejected by vice chairman Riley.

What a joke!

Building a road that connected the continent’s west and east coasts? How could that be a problem a trivial Amrit Chamber of Commerce and a Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom could solve?

Not to mention that they had to avoid the giant Candra Empire. They didn’t even have the ability to solve the most basic problem of funding.

Gaza had then taken a step back, hoping that the Amrit Chamber of Commerce could enter the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom to build roads, helping them solve their transportation problem.

But after the Amrit Chamber of Commerce had considered it, they had rejected this proposal.

In the end, the main business of the Amrit Chamber of Commerce was in the Lampuri Kingdom and it was over five thousand kilometers away from the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.

This distance with the current technological level of the Sines Continent was a distance that couldn’t be touched.

Even if the Amrit Chamber of Commerce could bring their workers and their magic machines to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, it would be very hard to transport the most important materials needed in paving these roads.

A distance of over five thousand kilometers, the cost to transport any goods would reach a point that people would be unable to accept.

The Amrit Chamber of Commerce had explained the costs in detail to Gaza and Gaza had to admit that their worries were correct.

But now that Xu Yi had finally come to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, the first problem he raised was the transport problem.

This made Gaza very helpless.

The Amrit Chamber of Commerce wasn’t willing to help even if they wanted to solve this problem.

To invite the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to invest and let the thirteen companies enter the magic machine industry, Xu Yi had raised strict conditions on the transport problem.

This was a road to death.

On the contrary, Xu Yi had relaxed look after expressing his problems with the road situation.

After looking at Gaza with a smile for a bit, Xu Yi suddenly said, “Chairman Gaza, it isn’t actually that hard to solve this problem. You just need to build a deep sea harbour first.”

Gaza was stunned, “Deep sea harbour? How is this related?”

“Of course it is.” Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “Without a proper deep sea harbour, how could our company’s large scale transport ships bring goods over?”

Gaza was stunned before his eyes trembled.

“Chairman Xu, you…..You’re saying…..your Frestech Chamber of Commerce is really willing to invest?”

“Yes, I’m very interested in investing here, otherwise why do you think I would come all the way here?” Xu Yi asked back.
