Chapter 166 164: Ready (Subscribe and monthly ticket)
In fact, for Roy, it is almost impossible for him to enter the magic world, especially the field of magical machinery, like Douglas or Lilia.
So, fame really doesn't matter to him.
But Douglas is different!
He himself has gained a certain reputation in the magic world because of the magic forging hammer.
Now, if we could come up with a whole new set of steelmaking methods.
It ensures a huge increase in production capacity, the cost is low enough, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely high.
Thus, from producing a production line for magic steel furnaces, to building a factory to make steel in-house, from publishing various papers to having a complete set of steelmaking methods named after him...
All of this brought not only Jintiel, but also the expansion of business, the improvement of reputation, the attention of the empire, and the admiration of countless people.
Wealth, fame and fortune!
Almost all of them are contained in this magic steel furnace, which makes Douglas very tempted.
Roy's concession really won Douglas's gratitude.
Even though he felt dark inside, he felt that it was a great fortune to have a partner and friend like Luo Yi.
Of course, Luo Yi's concessions were mostly for his own benefit.
In the office of the Lightninger Magic Energy Machinery Factory, Roy and Douglas Hill had an open negotiation.
First of all, there is a deep binding of interests.
Luo Yi will conduct secondary design based on the various data of this experimental model and come up with a complete set of design drawings for the steel plant.
After he leaves, the new factory will be supervised by Douglas Hill and managed by Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group.
In terms of specific shareholding distribution, Roy holds 51% and has absolute controlling and management rights, while Douglas Hill holds 49% and is the second largest shareholder with advisory rights.
Also involved in management, mainly responsible for the maintenance and optimization of magic machinery.
If the production capacity meets the standards, at a later stage, if someone wants to buy the production line, the Lightninger Magic Energy Machinery Factory will be responsible for production.
Most importantly, Roy and Douglas exchanged equity, exchanging 2% of the shares of Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group for 10% of the shares of Douglas' industries.
In this way, the equity of both parties is completely entangled.
Luo Yi doesn't believe in human character, but he believes in conflicts of interest. Just look at the industries they currently own, and there are such huge interests at stake.
Unless the empire takes action and offers sufficiently great benefits, Douglas will not betray the country just because he thinks about his own losses.
That's a completely thankless task.
Of course, the result of such a deep binding is that Douglas cannot refuse Loiti's many requests.
First of all, Loy wanted to take away ten magic machinery apprentices, and they had to be selected from the capable personnel in the Leitninger Magic Machinery Factory.
Luo Yi thought clearly that in this era, if anyone gave up on magical machinery, he would be a fool.
Therefore, the industrialization process of the Earldom still needs to be promoted, and in order to promote the industrialization process, talents are indispensable.
Loy naturally recruited these ten people from the Lightninger Magic Energy Machinery Factory. He provided them with sufficient money, full benefits, and excellent prospects, so naturally some people would be tempted.
But Douglas will have to contribute to the subsequent talent replenishment.
A group of talents trained by the magic academy must be transferred here.
This is just the beginning. In the future, Roy will have to allocate more manpower and rely on Douglas for reinforcements.
It is worth mentioning that he is planning to select some key personnel from not only the Lightninger Magic Machinery Factory, but also the Ortiz Pharmaceutical Company and the Northern Railway Company to follow.
Next, Luo Yi planned to set up a long-distance communication magic circle from Xianhualing to Auckland City, so as to ensure that he could get the news here and convey the orders in the first time.
If possible, he actually wanted to set up a long-distance teleportation magic circle, but that was impossible.
Even if Douglas could mobilize manpower, the Habsburg Empire would not allow it.
Are you kidding?
If this kind of long-distance teleportation magic circle can be set up at will, how can the empire be safe?!
Of course, simple communication magic circles are still allowed. In fact, the empire itself has built more than one magic communication system.
However, Douglas also needs to hire people for these things, which takes time.
Luo Yi also has to truly inherit the earldom and settle down before he can continue to advance.
So, there is plenty of time!
At this time, it is not difficult to find that Luo Yi's mentality has changed since he got the holy artifact, the Proverbs Ring.
Before, he didn't care about receiving flowers, but now, he was determined to get them.
This communication lasted for an entire afternoon, and by the time both parties reached an agreement, it was already evening.
But on this day, Luo Yi felt that he had gained a lot.
As his plans were implemented one by one, Auckland City, the base, became more and more stable even in his absence.
In the following days, Luo Yi became increasingly busy.
On the one hand, he had to read the ancient books of the Raymond family to provide Deep Blue with enough information.
Of course, he was selective in this part, and all the historical records and secrets were put at the end.
The first choices were advanced breathing techniques, fighting skills, combat skills, advanced meditation methods and the like.
This is the most useful thing for Luo Yi, especially the advanced breathing method and fighting skills, which point out the direction for the future and can allow Deep Blue to optimize and iterate.
In other words, the analysis of the two secret sacred skills took up too much "memory", so now I can only slow down for a while.
On the other hand, a complete set of design drawings for the magic steel plant is actually a troublesome matter.
With experimental data as a basis, many shortcomings can be found, and Deep Blue can avoid some of them.
But after the design drawings were brought out, they were rejected by Douglas Hill because many aspects did not conform to the common sense of magical machinery.
Then, Loy revised it again, Douglas sent it back, revised it again, and sent it back again...
This goes on and on, and Luo Yi is really tired!
Although the design was made by Shenlan and Luo Yi didn't have to use his brain, it was Luo Yi who drew the picture!
Back and forth, over and over again, he was numb!
In addition, Luo Yi also has to socialize every day.
Various salons, banquets, communication with businessmen with whom we have vested interests, as well as handling of various trivial matters and personnel determination.
Luo Yi had to admit that there were too many things to do and he had never been so busy!
Nowadays, apart from sleeping, and practicing breathing techniques and basic meditation in the morning and evening, he has stopped all other practices.
I really don’t have time!
Sometimes, he would reflect on himself, what is the purpose of making money?
Of course, it means having enough food and clothing and having enough money to spend!
But what about now?
I'm not short of money, but I'm also too busy to stop.
However, as time went on, various matters were gradually implemented.
For example, regarding personnel issues, ten magical mechanic apprentices, ten alchemist apprentices, and ten railway construction backbones have all been selected.
There are also the thirty people led by Ang who are brave and willing to fight, and they can be considered combatants.
In addition to Loy, Butler Hoover, and Oliveira, there were a total of nearly eighty people in the team.
With so many people, safety is of paramount importance.
Hoover contacted a large mercenary group in the city of Camoti through the Raymond family's channels.
The Dragon and Beauty Mercenary Group has a romantic name, but its strength should not be underestimated. It has as many as a hundred official combatants.
This number of people might not be a big deal in other countries of the Old World, but in the extremely powerful Habsburg Empire, it is one of the few large mercenary groups.
What's more, the leader of the mercenary group is Xike Francis, a third-level extraordinary axe warrior with the title of "Barbarian".
He also has two second-level magicians under his command, and their strength is definitely impressive.
In fact, it was difficult for them to maintain their operations in the city of Kamoti, mainly because the Empire was keeping an eye on them, fearing that these violent elements would cause trouble.
Therefore, in addition to being mercenaries, they also undertake part-time detective work, so it can be said that their functions are complicated.
However, after the police department was restructured, the empire strengthened public security management and crackdown on gangsters, and their business was also affected.
This time, the order Luo Yi handed out was definitely one of the rare big orders they had, the kind that would sustain their business for a year after opening!
Therefore, the axe warrior, Sik Francis, brought all his own fighters with him, which in one fell swoop expanded Loy's team to nearly two hundred people.
In addition, Baron Miller also contributed.
He didn't know how he got through some connections, but he actually asked the Seventh Mixed Legion to send out a team of magic gunners.
There aren't many of them, only about ten, but with them guarding them, the identities they represent are different.
However, they could only be sent to the border of the Habsburg Empire and could not enter the Norman Duchy.
But as long as they are here, no one in the empire dares to take action!
In theory, the Habsburg Empire has strict control and does not allow the imperial army to be dispatched without reason. It is really incredible that it was able to succeed this time.
Miller himself said that he was just trying it out, but he didn't expect it to be approved.
In a flash, half a month passed, and just when Luo Yi was ready to leave, the Grand Duchess sent a letter.
This time it was an urging, urging Loy to quickly reach the capital of the Norman Duchy, Auxerre.
It was also at this time that news came from Deep Blue that the analysis and optimization of the two sacred skills had finally yielded results.
PS: Sorry, someone is coming over from home, so I really don’t have time tonight, so I can only update twice.
Don’t wait any longer, there will be two updates today!
