Magic Industrial Age

Luo Yi's words were no less than a bolt from the blue, causing a huge commotion in the council hall.

Some people looked at each other in dismay, some whispered to each other, some were puzzled, and some remained unchanged...

Although they received the old aristocratic education, their information channels must be richer than ordinary commoners, and they have some understanding of companies, factories, and groups.

But how could that be connected with the old aristocracy?

Luo Yi also wants to meet some group company with the honor of an earl, which is even more unreasonable!

However, the benefits brought by the war have also become apparent. At least Luo Yi's current prestige is high enough that no one dares to point fingers at him to question or scold him.

Until the Grand Knight Commander Alfonso Zek stood up, he asked: "Earl, what exactly is this Raymond Mana Group?"

"I want to promote the popularization of mana machinery in the Flower Collar, but, I think, this is not just my own business!

It is a matter for me and you, and even all the people of the Flower Collar to participate in.

I want everyone to feel the benefits and huge benefits brought by mana machinery, so naturally, everyone can respond more actively.

Therefore, the Raymond Mana Group came into being."

Luo Yi got up and walked to the whiteboard. He uncovered the covering black cloth to let everyone see the words on it.

There, at the top was written Raymond Mana Group, with six branch lines branching out from it.

At the end, there were railways, mines, smelting, textile, medicine and machinery.

Furthermore, there are specific situations, and the largest number is naturally mines.

Several mines that Flower Collar is currently mining, including iron ore, copper ore, gem mines, and wasteland stone mines are all there.

The smallest number is naturally medicine, smelting and machinery, which represents the three factories in the industrial zone.

Medicine and mana machinery are okay, and there is already output, but the steel plant under 'smelting' is still under construction, but, in terms of valuation, Luo Yi set the highest for this steel plant.

As for textiles, Luo Yi's valuation of the two most mature factories is not high.

Luo Yi didn't know where to get a wooden stick, pointed at the whiteboard, and said to everyone: "This is my effort these days. I have subdivided and valued the various industries in the Flower Collar, and then, displayed them.

You have gained military exploits, and you can exchange them for the secret knowledge, high-level breathing methods, magic potions, etc. you need, or you can choose to purchase shares in different industries."

"In other words, you are equivalent to investing with military exploits. When the industry grows stronger, the remaining profits after excluding the operating needs will be distributed to you according to the shares!"

"In other words, as long as you invest, you are equivalent to the original shareholders of these industries."

There is a saying: the world is bustling for profit, and the world is hustling for profit!

Why do old nobles have to guard their titles and territories?

That is of course because of profit!

Even the lowest-level knight, guarding a knight's territory like a village, lives a life where people serve him with food, drink, and excretion.

If you want them to give up land and population casually, they will fight you desperately!

However, when you can bring them greater benefits, and then let them give up land and population, they will weigh the pros and cons.

Except for a few greedy people, I am afraid that they can make choices that are beneficial to themselves.

This is Luo Yi's method, which is still the simplest way to divide the cake.

But simple does not mean useless, as long as it can solve the problem, it is a good way.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is that these industries can really make money!

After Luo Yi finished speaking, all the vassals' eyes lit up, as if they saw the bright yellow gold coins shining.

But there was more hesitation. Luo Yi could see his hesitation and said: "If you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask them now?"

Grand Knight Commander Alfonso was the first to raise his hand. He asked: "Earl, does this so-called original shareholder only have the right to dividends?

What I mean is, can you only get gold coins?"

"I understand what you mean, gold coins are just gold coins, but you can exchange gold Thalers for what you want.

For example, magic potions, secret knowledge, magic items, these are your own choices."

"Then can we participate in the internal affairs management? For example, if I invest in the railway, can I also manage a station?"

This time it was Cody Isaac, one of the four third-order transcendents, his words made many people prick up their ears.

Luo Yi shook his head simply: "This is not possible!

The rights of shareholders, in addition to dividends, also include the right to make suggestions and the right of first refusal to purchase shares, but do not include actual participation in management."

"The reason is simple, if you don't understand and interfere blindly, you will lose everyone's money.

However, the industry does need talents, so, your military exploits have a second function, family children training."

"If you participate in the corresponding industry, you are qualified to send your descendants, such as your children, non-inheriting younger sons, and illegitimate children, to me.

I will train them in new knowledge, including but not limited to basic meditation, knowledge of mana machinery, personnel management, and corresponding professional knowledge.

If they learn something and make dazzling enough achievements, their future will be limitless!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar, and the noise was even louder than before.

The reason is simple, the world's nobles default to the eldest son inheritance system.

Basically, the family's property, territory, and titles are all inherited by the eldest son, which can maintain the family's stable inheritance.

What about the younger sons and illegitimate children other than the eldest son?

Most of them will be sent to other noble knights to be knight attendants. If they can grow up, they may be named new knights through the battlefield.

But this road is not easy!

Most of them master some knowledge and skills and then make a living on their own, but their lives are not easy.

This kind of thing has been constantly appearing since the Old Continent was completely occupied by the human race and there was no new territory.

Even those great nobles have to worry about the future and future of their children.

But now, Luo Yi has provided them with another way out.

Cody Isaac stood up directly when he heard the words: "Earl, is what you said true?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"Then, then what about the eldest son?"

I don't know who said this, Luo Yi shrugged and said: "If you are willing, I certainly have no objection!"

"However, I am not training knights here, so if your eldest son is unwilling to become a knight, or is not qualified, send them to me.

Of course, you also have to pay attention, this training and education is exchanged for your military exploits.

Your children will gain more knowledge, better resources, and see a broader world.

However, if they don't work hard and seize the opportunity, there is no way."

A knight stood up directly, he said in a rough voice: "It's not easy, just beat them up if they don't listen, if it doesn't work, just two beatings, three beatings...

These naughty monkeys are all like this at home, Earl, don't care about our face."

His words caused everyone to burst into laughter, Luo Yi also smiled and asked: "Who else has any questions?"

A figure stood up suddenly, her strong body seemed to bring a shadow, abruptly stopping the laughter.

It was Tania Anderson, a third-order transcendent, a female knight who didn't look like a woman.

This seemingly rough transcendent powerhouse asked an extremely sharp question: "Suppose, I mean suppose, if we buy shares,

Then, the total amount of shares is increasing, even exceeding what you own, Earl.

Does that mean that you, Earl, will lose control of this industry?"

No one thought that there would be a nitpicker at this moment, and it was still Tania Anderson.

However, Luo Yi did not hesitate, he nodded and said: "You are right, theoretically, it is like this.

However, it will not actually happen."

"Because, no matter which industry, you can only buy up to 49% of the original shares, and the remaining 51% are in the hands of Raymond Mana Group company.

In other words, I have absolute control."

"Moreover, in the industries in my hands, I can guarantee its profitability and growth, but if one day it gets out of my control, it will no longer be necessary to exist."

"Then if I buy it, can I trade it?"

"Of course, that is your freedom, but remember to premium it. Otherwise, you will lose a lot if you sell it.

Moreover, you have to notify the company and inform the company of the share change."

"Then, then, then how to ensure fairness?"

"You want to ask about the accounts? Simple, original shareholders have the right to check the accounts, anytime.

Of course, it only works for the industries that you have invested in!"

"Earl, can you tell me about the specific course content that my second son will study here?"

"You all know that I studied at the Philante Magic Academy in Auckland, so the courses are mainly aimed at training mana mechanics, or mana gunners.

If they are interested in machinery, they can work in railways, machinery factories, and smelting plants.

If they also crave military exploits, they can go to the battlefield to operate mana cannons and accumulate merits.

Of course, the prerequisite for both of these is the introduction to basic meditation."

"Then why is the valuation of each industry so different?"

"This is naturally because the value and potential are different, I will give you..."

"Earl, can you predict the income of these industries?"

"A lot, a lot, a lot..."

"My question is..."

"…………"

"…………"

"………………"

It should be said that this meeting was definitely a success.

Luo Yi explained his ideas to everyone in detail, and spent a whole afternoon answering questions.

The vassals gradually understood Luo Yi's ideas from the initial difficulty in understanding.

It should be said that compared to Earl Carl's 'forced', Luo Yi's method is very particular, not only integrating them into the new system, but also helping to solve the problem of their children's future.

Even the most stubborn old nobles, at this moment, think that both earls have to promote this mana machinery,

Obviously, this mana machinery must have its advantages.

Now that there is an opportunity and a way, why not get involved and see what happens?

When this idea came up, it was like a prairie fire and could no longer be stopped.
