Copernicus city.

Renault opened the contract and signed his name "Swish", then he stood up and said with a smile:

"Mr. Frisf, Mr. August, congratulations to both of you for becoming partners of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce!"

The two new partners bowed deeply and said respectfully:

"Your Excellency Renault, please rest assured that we will fulfill the contract seriously."

A waiter came over with a tray on which were several wine glasses filled with wine.

Renault took a glass of wine and held it up:

"I wish you two prosperous business!"

Frisf and August hurriedly raised their glasses and clinked glasses with Renault with all their faces.

"Ding...ding..."

Accompanied by the crisp sound of collision, Renault drank the wine and began to brainwash the two people endlessly:

"Two, the purpose of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce has always been a win-win situation. The so-called'win-win' means that each other can obtain sufficient benefits from each other without loss..."

So far, Haichaoling has signed 26 partnership agreements, and all the contract orders add up to a total of more than 300,000 Kinnars. This is only an order for civilian goods.

If it is considered military commodities, such as weapons, armors, hot air balloons and other equipment, the total sales are close to 600,000 Kinnars.

According to the forecast of the Department of Commerce, the annual sales of monthly calendar year 746 exceeded 1 million Kinnars, which is a certainty.

For this reason, all factories in the territory are operating at full speed and are fully supplying goods. Although many factories have undergone a round of expansion, the problem of insufficient production capacity still exists, and the Government Affairs Department has to start a new round of expansion without stopping.

Another important constraint is labor.

According to the latest statistics, Haichaoling has a total population of more than 36,000 people, of which more than 80% of the working population, but the problem of labor tension has not been alleviated.

In every director-level meeting, the request that Miss Archon heard the most was "we need manpower", which also gave her a deep understanding of what Renault once said:

"...A complete industrialization system must have enough population to support it, and the higher the technological level of industrialization, the greater the demand for population..."

"...In the Iron Age, tens of thousands of people were enough to support an industrial system, but in the age of Magic Machinery, I think it takes at least 5 million people to support a primary industrial system..."

"...If the magic machinery industry is to be developed to an advanced stage, we need a population of more than 10 million people..."

When Miss Archon heard the huge numbers of "5 million" and "10 million" at first, she almost thought Renault was joking.

Is there a mistake? The entire human world has a population of more than 20 million. No, after the fall of the Mushan Kingdom and the Fox Kingdom, the total population has been less than 20 million. According to him, is this planning to annex most of the human world?

However, after personally experiencing the progress of industrialization, she suddenly discovered that 10 million... does not seem impossible...

Angela has only a vague understanding of the reasons, but Renault, as a traveler, knows very well that the essence of industrialization is a high degree of social division of labor.

With the advancement of technology, the industrial chain will continue to derive and expand, the division of labor will become more and more refined, and the demand for human resources will inevitably increase.

Take the magic vehicle as an example.

The first-generation magic car is extremely simple, just a magic motive and 4 wheels. The carriage is hand-built by carpenters, and it is especially convertible. When it rains, you must drive with an umbrella.

The second-generation magic car has a brand new chassis, including steering system, suspension system, transmission system, braking system, the carriage is made of steel plate, and the number of parts has been doubled.

Correspondingly, to manufacture these parts, more equipment, more factories, and more people are needed.

As a result, the expansion of the industrial chain has brought about the expansion of personnel. Originally, a few hundred people could make a car, but now it needs thousands of people.

The three-generation magic car under development has a more complicated structure. The body manufacturing will introduce "stamping" and "welding" processes instead of an iron box with several steel plates connected together.

The Department of Industry is preparing the first generation of stamping production lines and welding production lines, using assembly line production to manufacture "body in white", and the corresponding painting factory is also being designed.

In addition, according to Renault's plan, the third-generation magic car has the concept of "internal and external decoration" for the first time, which includes a series of components such as glass, foam seats, wooden instrument panel, rearview mirror, Nima rubber carpet and so on.

In the future, all of this will land, and the third-generation Magic Car will be officially mass-produced. Even according to the most conservative estimate, the entire automotive industry chain will require 10,000 people.

So, what if it is a fourth-generation or fifth-generation car with a more complex structure?

Even according to different functions, different vehicles can be derived, such as hatchbacks, sedans, SuVs, MPVs, and heavy and light trucks. How far will the industry chain expand by then?

Renault didn't know.

But he can refer to the experience of another time and space.

In China on the earth, the annual output of passenger cars exceeds 20 million, and the number of employees in the industry is as high as 30 million. In the alien world, if the scale is reduced by 20 times, the output is 1 million, and the number of employees will reach 1.5 million.

Renault hopes that one day, every family in another world will own a magic car, which will be blocked on the expressway during the holidays. It will be blocked to death, and there will be no place to go to the toilet.

He has no doubt that he can definitely see this day.

Anyway, Renault is an upright person, and he can be promoted to master in the future. It is not a dream for a life span of 300 years. He does not believe that he has been in the industry for a hundred years and cannot do that.

In the world of mechanical dogs, nothing is impossible!

Goode suddenly hurried into the reception room and interrupted Renault's brainwashing:

"Your Excellency, the Duke of Byron sent a servant to send an invitation letter, inviting you to be a guest at the Duke’s Castle tomorrow morning. He has a new order and wants to discuss the price with you."

"What order?" Renault was taken aback.

"Weapon orders, the Duke is forming a new aristocratic coalition and intends to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment." Goode replied.

After hearing the words "weapon and equipment", Frissf and August in the reception room suddenly showed obvious envy on their faces.

Everyone knows that the arms trade is extremely profitable, especially for such orders from the military. The total amount is often astonishing, with tens of thousands of Kinnars at every turn, enough to support any chamber of commerce.

Renault thought for a moment and gave a positive answer:

"You go and tell the servant that I will arrive at the Duke's Castle on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Goode took his orders immediately.

Thinking of the first arms deal with Duke Byron, Renault couldn't help but shook his head.

The Duke is definitely a very cunning old fox. In the last transaction, the Duke deliberately found a competitor and desperately lowered the price, but that time he successfully fooled the Duke and got the order.

But this time, this old guy won't be fooled easily anymore. If he wants to successfully get the order, I am afraid he will have to make a big discount.
