Magic Industrial Age

Strictly speaking, outsiders are forbidden from entering the arcane factories.

The security department, led by Leon Vasquez, has fully taken over the security issues of the industrial zone.

Although there are no clock-in or clock-out operations, everyone has their own work card with a personal portrait, and special procedures are required to enter and exit.

This is really not formalism!

Many of the arcane factories in Flower Collar have leading-edge technology, which even factory owners in the Habsburg Empire crave and go crazy for.

Loye didn't care before, but after Leon Vasquez took over, he actually joined Ang and caught two spies who were stealing technology.

They all entered Flower Collar for work through the recruitment of Loye Fitz Arcane Group, and have worked in processing machinery factories, military factories, and magic potion factories.

It is said that they are also well-established and have bright futures, but unfortunately, someone offered a high price, which tempted them to have other ideas.

And those who hired them were all factory owners from the Habsburg Empire, one with a military background, and one who seemed to be a front man for a Calamity-grade mage.

Loye actually knew that this kind of thing was unavoidable, and he never thought of completely monopolizing it.

Of course, even if he had this idea, the Empire would not allow it.

Moreover, after contacting His Majesty Saint Bartholomew, Loye realized how powerful real mechanical mages are.

If they are willing, they can completely start reverse engineering, and the imitations will definitely not be too bad.

Therefore, instead of strictly guarding against outsiders, it is better to iterate the technology internally!

As long as I am always one step ahead, I will always be in control.

From this perspective, Loye doesn't really care about technology leaks.

But having said that, the attitude towards the outside world cannot be like this.

Loye appeared very angry, and then directly found Lord Robin Walter, the Imperial Master.

After communicating, Lord Robin Walter reported the matter to the country, and it is said that the two factory owners were severely punished!

Of course, only they were severely punished, and the people behind them were naturally unscathed.

In this kind of thing, naturally the front man takes the blame.

However, after this incident, Leon Vasquez's security department established its prestige, and various policies were implemented.

At the same time, training is also done regularly to talk about the importance of technology confidentiality.

Of course, it is naturally no problem for Regan Lightninger to visit, and Loye also accompanied him once,

But after the New Year, it was a matter of dividends, he was really too busy to get away, so he let Lilia go.

Lilia was willing to spend more time with her father, but the problem was that Regan ran too diligently.

A businessman has business in his eyes, and can find business opportunities everywhere.

And here, Regan Lightninger seemed to have discovered a new continent, shocked beyond words.

However, after he ran too many times, Lilia couldn't stand it anymore.

The main thing is to calculate the accounts for December, and to make a complete statistic of the income for the whole year of last year.

Not to mention those branch projects, the net profit of the Raymond Arcane Group alone was as high as 1.54 million gold Thalers.

Of course, this cannot be an integer, but in front of this huge number, the decimals behind those decimals are really not important.

As soon as the news came out, even though many people were psychologically prepared, they were stunned on the spot.

For some knights whose annual income is less than hundreds of gold Thalers, this wealth is an astronomical figure.

The problem is that it is no longer unattainable, but also has a share for them, within reach.

In the first three days of January of the New God Calendar 314, the accounts were completely counted, and then they were publicized in the council hall.

All vassals and knights of the Raymond family are qualified to consult.

Dozens of thick account books are placed there, and accountants can check the accounts at any time, accurate to each month, the income and expenditure of each transaction.

Of course, almost no vassals pay attention to these accounts.

The reason is simple, it's too detailed, they don't understand, and those complicated numbers, adding and subtracting, give them a headache.

They only need to know the specific benefits of each factory under each major category.

Then, take out their equity book, tap on the numbers above, and calculate a rough estimate!

Accurately speaking, most people can't calculate it, and they pull professional accountants to help.

The result is that the exclamations of 'Wow' seem to have never stopped.

Originally, Loye set the publicity period to be seven days.

To find fault, you always have to give them some time, but as a result, in just two days, a group of vassals and knights couldn't help it.

They sought out Loye, analyzed the pros and cons from various angles, and bluntly said that seven days was too long and delayed things.

So, three days, three days is definitely enough.

Loye also followed the good advice, ended the publicity period early, and then prepared a dividend conference in the military camp.

He originally planned to be in the council hall, but later found that even if all the tables and chairs inside were moved out, it was still not big enough, so he directly changed to the square of the military camp.

Just outdoors, set up a high platform, and then pour boxes of gold Thalers on the ground, and let specialized accountants pile them into small hills.

In the sun, the gold is shining, dazzling, and it looks very vulgar!

Really, unbearably vulgar!

However, it is very eye-catching, not to mention the knights, even several Calamity-grades can't take their eyes off it.

Loye stood aside, watching everyone's reaction, and nodded in satisfaction.

He naturally did this scene on purpose!

He can also quietly send the money to everyone's hands, but that cannot reflect the importance of the dividend conference.

Giving money, you have to give it openly!

Give it with great fanfare!

Give everyone full of passion!

The process of personally handing over boxes of gold Thalers is the best reward for the loyalty and courage of these people.

Loye believes that as long as this dividend conference is over, with his order, he can make this group of people howl and launch an attack on any enemy.

Even if the front is the abyss of hell, they dare to hold a heavy machine gun to fire a shuttle.

It took a full hour to set up the venue, and Loye naturally had to go up and say a few words.

He is someone who doesn't like nonsense, so he directly gets to the point: "Today's dividend conference, I just want everyone to understand why Earl Karl Raymond had to promote arcane machinery?

Why do I still firmly develop the arcane industry after taking over the territory?"

"These gold Thalers are the reason!"

"Because time is limited, I can't send them out one by one, so those with income below one thousand gold Thalers, go to the finance department to collect it yourself.

And those above one thousand, I will announce it here!"

"First, Knight Lance Walter, you participated in the Frost Moon Canyon battle, fought bravely against the enemy, and achieved fruitful results;

Later, on behalf of me, you went to the City of Auxerre, and showed the power of my Lion family in the Senate, with outstanding achievements.

You own shares in the arcane machinery processing plant, accounting for..., the income of the machinery processing plant last year was...,

In total, your dividend is 1,120 gold Thalers."

In the gap between Loye's speech, Mira directed the manpower to pack the gold Thalers into boxes.

When Knight Lance Walter walked up with an excited face, Loye handed over a box of gold Thalers without saying a word.

Visibly, his hands were shaking when he took the box!

Then came the second, Tier 3 Transcendent Knight Jall Turner: "You also participated in the Frost Moon Canyon battle, and once killed a Transcendent of the same tier...

The shareholding is..., the dividend is..."

"Take it!!"

Jall Turner was even more sensible, he knelt on one knee, hammered his chest with his hand, and roared loudly: "Thank you, the great Lion King, your order is where I point my sword!"

This seemed to be a start, and everyone behind had to say a few auspicious words, or directly swear!

And among all the people, the one with the most income is the Grand Knight Commander Vincent Ackerman.

There is no way, although he fought the Frost Moon Canyon battle with a mentality of atonement, but you cannot deny that he led the remnants, stood in the canyon castle, and fought the Week family to the death for a long time, resisting wave after wave of charges!

If he had been defeated and escaped at that time, the battlefield would have been in Flower Collar, and I don't know how much damage it would have caused.

Therefore, in that battle, he was the first to contribute!

And he, I don't know if he really has some luck, or if he has some knowledge himself, he exchanged his military exploits for shares in the steel mill.

In fact, the arcane processing machinery factory is also very profitable, but the training of skilled workers takes time, and the output is relatively limited.

Therefore, the most profitable in the whole year of last year was the steel mill, and the furnaces of steel ingots produced, it is better to say that they are all gold Thalers.

Even if Flower Collar can't consume it all, it can be sent to the Habsburg Empire, and it won't be unsalable!

Then, when it came to Vincent Ackerman, his income was as high as more than 5,000 gold Thalers.

As soon as the amount came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!

Vincent Ackerman was also flamboyant, he held the box in one hand, raised the other hand, and said loudly: "Tonight, the best cabaret in Brussels City, I'll cover it all!"

"Everyone come, let's not go home until we're drunk!"

"I'll pay for the wine!"

In just an instant, the cheers seemed to lift the entire military camp.

Loye looked up and saw that in the whole audience, some people were excited and their faces were flushed, some people were so envious that their expressions were distorted, and there were countless people secretly gritting their teeth and swearing in their hearts...

Even more, a strong force of faith surged in, incomparably pure.

At this moment, he was even more satisfied.
