Chapter 1023 - Problems That Must Be Faced

Although the first batch of Purandal drag racing parties appeared on the streets of Bein, fortunately, the number of magic cars on the streets is not very large, and the city streets have been renovated to become very spacious, so their drag racing competition has not caused any bad consequences, but their cars have now been registered with the traffic police, and the next time they violate the traffic rules, they will be severely punished.

At the urging of Saxophone, his driver finally grabbed the first place, and after Sachs threw out a handful of bills to reward him, he immediately got out of the car and rushed into the store, waving the money in his hand and shouting: "I want to buy Optimus Prime!" All in stock! ”

"I'm sorry, sir."

The salesperson apologized and said lightly: "You're late, the car has been sold out." ”

Sold out!?

Like a thunderbolt on the head, Sachs was dumbfounded: "What about Hercules?!" ”

"Sold out."

"Where's Donkey Kong!?"

"It's sold out too."

The salesperson smiled: "All the trucks in this batch have been sold out, please hurry up next time, or order in advance now, we will notify you as soon as the vehicle arrives." ”

It's good to make a reservation!

Without hesitation, Sachs took out his Star Diamond Bank crystal card and the three-star card of the Datang Chamber of Commerce: "I want to order four Optimus Prime!" Five Hercules! Ten Little King Kongs! ”

"Okay, your total consumption is 7 million gold, according to the current eight-fold activity, the discount price is 5.6 million gold, your membership card can enjoy a discount, and then 9 discounts, so the final price is 5.04 million gold, first charge you 40,000 gold deposit, the balance is paid at one time when you pick up the car, no problem, right?"

When he heard the salesman say 7 million gold, Saxophone's liver trembled, even if it was him, it was very painful to take out 7 million gold in one breath, but after the salesperson continued to talk about the discounted price, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart was immediately relieved.

In the past, he never felt that there was any special benefit to this three-star Lord card in his hand, after all, a nine-percent discount was really not a discount, but when the price base of the purchased things was large, a nine-percent discount saved him a full 560,000 gold, which is equivalent to giving him five small King Kong and 60 high-grade magic crystals for nothing!

And it's a discount!

His Majesty Don is simply too generous, I really love him to death!

"Nope!"

Sachs hurriedly asked, "Am I the first to book?" ”

"Well, that's right."

"In other words, if a new car arrives, will it be a priority to notify me?"

"That's right, sir."

Immediately, Sachs was overjoyed: "That's it, sign the contract!" ”

Although I didn't grab the first batch of purchases, I was able to make the first batch of orders! Not leading, but not lagging behind!

When Sachs paid the money to sign the contract, he saw that the other people who came one after another had made the same choice as him, and immediately laughed proudly.

What about your bookings? Now it is obvious that the production capacity of the Datang Chamber of Commerce is insufficient, even if you have booked, I will give priority to pick up the car when the goods arrive, and you will all stare at me in the back!

The same situation as here in the mountain city of Bein is playing out all over the Illus Empire, and after understanding the comparison of the advantages of trucks and carriages, those chambers of commerce are almost crazy to buy them, even the expensive Optimus Prime heavy trucks are completely sold out in the blink of an eye.

In other words, on this day alone, the Optimus Prime heavy truck alone has brought more than 80 million gold to the Datang Chamber of Commerce!

The material cost of Optimus Prime is only 50,000 gold, and the R&D cost is almost negligible, that is to say, the net profit brought by the sale of this 100 Optimus Prime heavy trucks has reached more than 75 million gold!

This terrible profitability not only frightened Aurelia but also Fiona.

"Although I know that the things you make are very profitable, this heavy truck is too profitable!"

Fiona couldn't help but sigh: "I now regret continuing to implement the 20% discount activity, if there is no 20% discount activity, the profit will rise by almost 20 million gold!" ”

"You're really in the eye of money."

Don En flipped through the silver: "Again, don't forget that the money is all printed by us!" Our task is to sell the product to them to make their money, and then spend the money where it should be, and that's what makes sense. ”

"Understood, understood, my majesty!"

Fiona gave him a blank look, and then continued to look at the report with joy, no matter how many times she looked at it, the beautiful numbers on it made her feel very happy.

"Oh, yes."

At this time, Fiona suddenly remembered something: "Brian is looking for you, you go and see what is going on with him, he is waiting for you at the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute." ”

"He's looking for me?"

The corners of Donne's mouth curled: "It just so happens that I also have something to look for him." ”

Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute.

“…… Due to a large number of technical support and personnel training policies, so now the number of our downstream manufacturers has been very large, every day we have to export a large number of raw materials and core components to meet their needs, which has led to our raw material consumption is extremely alarming, so, big brother, now we are facing a very troublesome problem. ”

"Oh?"

"The production capacity has increased significantly, and it is expected to continue to grow rapidly, the consumption of raw materials has increased significantly, and now our raw mineral energy can no longer keep up with the consumption!"

"I see."

Don nodded, he had thought about this problem, and he knew that this problem would appear sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so early.

"Do you have a solution?"

Brian's eyes lit up, then he hurriedly closed his eyes, and said with trembling lips, "...... Maybe come back, can you put me down and talk properly? ”

At this moment, Brian was tied with rope and his feet were hanging headfirst on the ceiling, and the mage's hand pushed from time to time, making him spin in mid-air, although it was only a few meters above the ground, but this pure-blooded mountain dwarf was already turning his eyes in circles at this moment, and he began to be confused.

"Want to come down? Maybe I'll consider letting you go when you know what to say and what not to say. ”

Don pouted, yes, he was deliberately punishing this big-mouthed talker, just because he couldn't control his mouth as soon as he drank, and spread rumors in Ellington, which caused almost everyone to gossip about those rumors now.

The answer to that irritating password at Camp Rift Valley was this guy's idea.

Brian blinked and said with a smile: "That, big brother, I have reflected on my mistakes very deeply, don't you see my sincerity in my shining eyes?" ”

"No, I only saw eye droppings."

Don didn't bother to lift his eyelids, rubbing his chin and thinking about the raw materials.

Due to the previous launch of the magic energy drill and minecart components, now in fact, the raw ore energy of Brandal has increased a lot, compared with the initial output has increased more than ten times, not to mention, let's talk about the nearby Brussels iron mine, this Ellington own iron mine, at the beginning all relied on miners to dig with iron picks, remove useless gravel and soil, thousands of miners dig out only a few tons of pure iron ore every day.

However, after replacing the magic energy drilling rig and carrying out the mine transformation, there are now fewer people in shifts every day, and the work pressure is less, but the production capacity has increased by nearly 20 times, and 50 or 60 tons of iron ore can be delivered to Ellington in a day.

Don't look at the far difference compared to the hundreds of thousands of tons per day of mines on the earth, in the current Prandal view, this kind of production capacity is already quite terrible.

Unfortunately, this capacity is still not enough to meet the current industrial needs of Ellington.

In particular, with the further expansion of the industrial scale, this raw mineral energy is a bit stretched.

At present, there are many mines under the name of Donn, including the royal family of Illuth, but most of them are still in an undeveloped state, and it is difficult to form an effective production capacity to supply ore in a short period of time.

Why not mine?

Again, because there is a shortage of people!!

Unlike the Earth, Plandal is described in one word, which is that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Don had previously estimated that this planet was larger than Earth, but after two Chaos invasion wars, how many people were still on this planet? If you roughly count the statistics of various races, there can be 500 million people in the sky!

With a population of 500 million walking on a land that is wider than the Eurasian continent, how could there be a large number of foreign laborers under the previous transportation conditions?

Generally speaking, the miners in a local mine are local residents who go to the mine to serve in the mine after they reach the grade to replace military service or deduct taxes, and few migrant workers go to work in the mine.

How many people can there be in a third-tier town? Including the surrounding villages, no more than 200,000 people died.

Don't think it's too little, don't forget, the super cities of Plandal, that is, the cities of Alink, Song City, Fira, Nanira, and Blood Rock City, have an average population of only about 1.5 million, which is far less than the population of the third-tier cities on the planet!

In other words, in order to solve the labor shortage, it is necessary to solve the problems of low fertility, high fetal mortality rate, and a steady increase in the population.

But this was a long-term plan, and it was clear that Donn could not wait a few decades before developing industry.

Long-term plans cannot be abandoned, but short-term plans must also be addressed.

So, how to solve the existing labor shortage problem without eating the demographic dividend?

Don narrowed his eyes and looked at Brian dangling, a vague plan came to mind......
