Magic Industrial Age

The Raymond family's current income can be clearly divided into three major parts.

The first part is the output value during the promotion of magic industrialization, including mining, railway transportation, machinery production, secret medicine sales, the arms industry, and so on.

It is mainly concentrated in the industrial zone and the mines in the Dome Mountains.

This is also the business scope of the Raymond Magic Energy Group, a proper cash cow, still showing vigorous vitality and rapid development.

The second part is the family's traditional industries.

Including perfume manufacturing, gold and silver arbitrage, grain income, commercial trade taxes, the Siren Harbor family's merchant ships, Silver Sea trade protection, and so on…

Although this part of the income is not as good as the profits of the magic industrialization, it is relatively fixed and is the basic foundation of the Raymond family.

It is worth mentioning that, except for operating costs, this part of the income basically belongs to the Raymond family and does not need to be distributed to others.

However, with the silver amber stone vein, the value is undoubtedly high, and the estimated future income is extremely considerable.

The problem is that the Flower Collar can only provide limited products to the Siren tribe.

After all, one is underwater and the other is on land, and many things cannot be popularized or are not applicable.

Moreover, the Siren tribe is so small, and the population is so small, that the consumption power is actually quite limited.

The result is that after the profits are distributed, the Siren tribe still has a large sum of money, with nowhere to spend it!

This is very embarrassing!

However, Loy had already mentioned a solution before. On the one hand, study the needs of the Siren tribe, deepen services, and improve and innovate new products.

On the other hand, it is to urge the Siren tribe to expand.

Loy has had many communications with the Siren King, and the content of the chat involves many aspects.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Loy is also instilling many ideas in the other party.

For example, in addition to the simplest war, economic intervention is also possible for external expansion.

As long as the other tribe is dependent enough on you, it is equivalent to being your vassal.

Another example is the increase in its own population. The method of raising children and cultivating them yourself is much slower.

But if you are strong enough and have a platform that is brilliant enough, you can attract people from other tribes to join automatically.

If the conditions are good, even those alien powerhouses can be driven by you.

That's right, Loy wants the Red Scale Siren tribe to be middlemen and dump his products into the underwater world.

Although the Siren King is still hesitating, it is clear that he has been tempted and is asking more and more details.

Getting back to the point, the above three major sections are the entire income of the Raymond family.

Of course, in reality, Loy personally has additional income.

The Loy Fitz Group in Auckland City is also a big earner. The annual income it can obtain even exceeds the traditional income of Flower Collar.

And when all these are added together, the total is between 1.9 million and 2 million gold Thalers, which is definitely an extremely exaggerated astronomical figure.

Of course, Loy is never a miser. Money has to be spent to generate benefits.

In his plan, he will keep 500,000 gold Thalers as a reserve fund for emergencies.

He will invest all the others in various projects.

Education expenditure is the main item, and it cannot be seen in the short term, but it must be done.

There is also the preparation of the First Legion of Flower Collar. All full-time young warriors are developing in the direction of magic musketeers, and they must also be equipped with a last-place elimination system…

This expenditure is also extremely exaggerated. Even Loy only dared to set a scale of a thousand people.

There is also the expansion of the railway lines covering the entire Flower Collar, the construction of modern management models, personnel wages and benefits, and various miscellaneous expenses!

After calculating, Loy suddenly felt that this money was not enough, and his speed of making money was still a bit slow.

However, at this time, you can't fight alone, and you have to make full use of private capital.

Just after the dividend meeting, a group of vassals and knights had a lot of money in their hands and were at a stage where they had money but didn't know how to spend it.

In addition, at the meeting at the beginning of the year, Loy also encouraged them to start their own businesses. Many people saw the opportunity and asked Loy for people, land, technology, and policies.

In order to support them, Loy really gave a lot of convenience. For this reason, he even specially set up a development department, led by Maruna, to solve various practical problems for them.

It was also under his encouragement that the first private enterprise, 'Zeke Iron Foundry', was built.

As soon as you see this name, you know that this is the property of the Zeke family, and it was prepared by the Grand Knight Alfonso Zeke.

Okay, this Grand Knight still prefers to study the art of war and guns, but when Phil Zeke speaks, he can't help but take the lead.

However, the actual person in charge is his third son, Neo Zeke.

Neo Zeke is not very old, only in his twenties. Because the family property does not include him, he is motivated.

Before, he was one of the first students in the study class opened by Loy, and he came into contact with magic machinery,

After that, with the support of his father, he went to Philante Magic Academy to study through Loy's channels.

Although the time was short and he didn't learn much profound knowledge,

However, as a young man who felt the charm of machinery, he was very active, attending classes during the day and working in the Lightninger Magic Machinery Factory at night.

Combining theory and practice, he really trained himself.

It is obviously difficult to force him to invent and create, but if he manages and recruits personnel and arranges production, he can get started very quickly.

He first selected a place in the industrial zone, rented a factory building, and then laid out lapis lazuli and equipped it with a universal power engine.

Then, he introduced a lot of professional talents from the empire with high salaries and high benefits, and also asked his classmates to help, which can be regarded as solving the talent problem.

In addition, the Zeke family already runs the largest blacksmith workshop in Flower Collar, and he has transferred enough blacksmiths and blacksmith apprentices to join.

Finally, he purchased five magic hammer forging machines from the machinery factory under the Raymond Magic Energy Group at internal prices.

So far, the Zeke Iron Foundry has been truly built.

And their products mainly undertake weapon forging.

For example, the orders obtained from Loy, the customized weapons of the Siren tribe, this alone can support their factory.

However, Neo Zeke is not a person who stops there. He also tries to forge more exquisite cold weapons and plate armor, trying to sell them to the outside world.

The latest novel is on 6 9 Book Bar!

With the magic hammer forging machine, they can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

Although Flower Collar does not need it, it is still very competitive when placed outside.

It is worth mentioning that although the Zeke Iron Foundry is the largest shareholder of the Zeke family, it actually only accounts for 51% of the shares.

The rest are shared by Vincent Ackerman, Grand Knight Sol, and others.

This can also be regarded as another way to spread the risk, and the entire preparation process is a demonstration in front of everyone.

Starting from the Zeke Iron Foundry, the other vassals immediately took action.

They also have descendants studying abroad, and they also have their own specialties and talent reserves. If they find the raw materials needed by the Raymond Group, they can naturally get orders…

In this way, in a short period of time, thirty or forty magic factories have been registered and prepared one after another.

They mainly take orders from the Raymond Magic Energy Group and provide supporting services to the group company.

For example, buy a few cutting machines to produce the felled trees into sleepers of corresponding specifications and provide them to the railway construction department.

For example, engage in the planting of special magic medicines to provide raw materials for secret medicine factories.

Business opportunities are unlimited. Relatively speaking, more is the lack of a discerning eye. Therefore, the establishment of one supporting factory after another has indeed enriched the industrial types of Flower Collar.

Although at this stage, they are almost all supporting raw material suppliers, their competitiveness is not strong, and the quality of the products they produce is far inferior to imports.

But having this beginning is excellent!

In the future, the business world is like a battlefield, and they will continue to improve and develop.

Those who are not enterprising will be eliminated, and the rest will naturally become stronger and stronger.

It is worth mentioning that during this time, Lilia's father, Regan Lightninger, has been doing very well.

In Flower Collar, everyone knows how important Lilia is and how favored she is, and no one with long eyes would put on the airs of a nobleman in front of Regan.

Of course, what really makes him receive the courtesy of a group of vassals is Neo Zeke's asking him for advice,

Moreover, it was also with his help that the Zeke Iron Foundry was quickly established.

Speaking of which, Regan Lightninger is a true businessman, and he knows all the twists and turns of the business world best.

Neo Zeke initially wanted to do a big job and make everything high-end, but he stopped him and told Neo to first solve the problem of having or not, and then think about developing and growing.

Obviously, Neo Zeke listened, and as a result, the Zeke Iron Foundry was able to be implemented so quickly.

Also from that time on, many vassals asked him for ideas, and he was not stingy with policies, which allowed the factory to spread quickly.

It can be said that he clearly saw the goals Loy wanted to achieve, and even helped push the boat.

Also from this time, Loy realized that his father-in-law was actually very capable.

However, compared to the help given by his father-in-law, Loy and Lilia's marriage had to be postponed.

The reason is simple, there is not enough time!

This is the analysis given by Butler Hoover: The wedding of an earl must invite enough important guests.

Such as Grand Duchess Afra, Marquis Floyd, and Marquis McKinley, even if they do not come in person, they will send their first heir.

They are all great nobles who have been passed down for many years, and all kinds of etiquette rules are very particular.

Whether it is reception or the wedding process, whether it is security or the preparation of food and drinks, there can be no slightest sloppiness.

Therefore, Butler Hoover can use half a month to make the Christmas celebration grand and make everyone satisfied.

But he absolutely cannot hold a qualified earl's wedding.

Okay, Loy may not care, but he also wants to give Lilia a perfect wedding,

The result is that the wedding originally scheduled for March and April was directly postponed to June.

With a full half a year of preparation, Butler Hoover dared to say that it was foolproof.
