Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 462 (460): Profit Sharing and Talent (Please Subscribe)

Luo Yi's awakening did not seem to cause much of a stir, and the entire Flower Territory continued to operate as usual.

Those who need to settle accounts should settle accounts, those who need to distribute dividends should distribute dividends, those who need to cultivate should cultivate, and those who need to be busy should be busy...

Everything seems normal!
Only the higher-ups in Flower Territory knew how stagnant the atmosphere had been during the days when Luo Yi was not showing up!

The higher-ups were extremely cautious, and the lower-ranking officers dared not make the slightest mistake. The three thousand Imperial Guards remained in place, and the police department raised the alert level to its highest level.
Ang's intelligence department was mobilized to monitor everything within the territory.

In fact, the Raymond family's guardians of the Calamity work in shifts, day and night.

The invisible atmosphere was almost frozen, but most people didn't know why.
All of this suddenly eased after Luo Yi woke up, appeared, and handled government affairs.

Everything returned to normal, as if the previous tense atmosphere was all an illusion.

This is the current state of Flower Territory: the vast territory is developing rapidly, but it lacks the stability and order that comes with time.

As a result, all safety rested on Luo Yi's shoulders.

If he were to encounter even the slightest problem, the vast territory, which had been painstakingly built up to such a favorable situation, could very well crumble.

This is why everyone is eager for an heir!
It's only because Lilia is pregnant; otherwise, countless people would be trying to get women into Loy's bed by now.

Furthermore, most of the women selected had been pregnant and successfully given birth to healthy babies.

Even so, you can't blame them for their selfishness; everything they do is for the good of the territory.

This is why having a successor is so important!
We've digressed a bit. Getting back to the point, after Luo Yi woke up, the Flower Territory returned to normal as quickly as possible.

Although the outside world is still chaotic, it doesn't affect this territory, so it doesn't matter.

In January of the New Divine Calendar 315, the main task of the Flower Clan was still to distribute dividends.

After the accounts for the past year were settled, the huge profits had to be distributed to each person according to their shareholding and the profits of different subsidiaries.

If we exclude Roy, the most common one is of course the red dragon Virgil.

He already owns nearly 10% of Raymond Magic Industries, and not just in a subsidiary, so naturally he earns the most.

Luo Yi made several trips to deliver the goods to Gintil, filling six large storage bags in total.

The red dragon Virgil didn't leave his house for three whole days. He transformed into his original form and lay comfortably rolling around in the ocean of Gintir.

It was during this time that Luo Yi realized that the dragons' obsession with gold was not simply a matter of bloodline desire.
Furthermore, these precious metals are the best supplements for them.

The red dragon Vergil is old. If he wants to go further, he must cross the limit of lifespan and become an ancient dragon.

And this gold is the best material for cultivation, bar none.

Of course, during this time, Virgil the Red Dragon was also quite smug.

In his circle, his catchphrase has become "I have so much gold that even a maze can't hold it all," which has earned him countless eye-rolls.

However, it did have some effect.

It is said that there are one or two legends who are interested in coming to see!

Resources are scarce for natural disasters, but even more scarce for legendary ones. Moreover, they lack high-end resources, and it is quite difficult to buy them.

However, no matter where you go or what world you're in, gold is a hard currency, and if you have enough, you can still buy most of what you need.

Of course, legends are legends, each with its own base of supporters. Even if someone wants to come and see for themselves, it won't be that quick!

Luo Yi was quite happy about this.

His only request was that the treatment after he arrived would be negotiable, but everyone would have to fight him!
In addition, everyone else also received their share.

Some have more, some have less; it depends on the development of different industries.

For example, investing in a magic textile factory may yield considerable returns, but compared to other industries, it is not as profitable.

Unfortunately, as a beginner in mechanics, the textile industry is almost the starting point for everyone who gets involved in the magic energy industry.

Nowadays, the Norman family, the Freud family, the Bonaparte Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia have all entered this industry.
If you're constantly struggling, your profits will naturally be much lower.

Meanwhile, steel mills, iron foundries, machining factories, and medicine workshops were all operating at full capacity, with demand exceeding supply, making them incredibly wealthy.

But there's nothing we can do about it; it's a matter of personal perspective, and we can't blame anyone else.

As for the specific accounts, Luo Yi still adhered to the principles of 'fairness, impartiality, and transparency' and placed them all in the council hall.

Anyone who has objections can check the accounts themselves. Any errors found will not need to be overturned; the lord's manor will simply make the necessary corrections. It's worth noting that this time, apart from the red dragon Virgil, the profit distribution will be a combination of specially made magical gold scrolls and cash.

Cash accounted for 30%, while magic gold coins accounted for 70%.

The reason for doing this is simple: the amount is too large, and it would be easy to cause problems if it were actually paid out.

To be honest, ever since the Empire and the Allied Forces went to war, Loy stopped putting all his money into the Seven Gods Bank.

Ultimately, there are always differing opinions, and it's hard to say whether someone might have ulterior motives. As long as the benefits are big enough, credibility is worthless.

Therefore, the secret vault of the Flower Territory has long been filled with gold, and even the Raymond family's treasure vault has been utilized.

The territory has money, but the actual amount distributed would be far too large.

Therefore, Loy paid 70% with magic gold coins. Of course, if needed, these gold coins could be exchanged for gold tirs at the lord's manor at any time.

In fact, from this perspective, the establishment of a bank is also imminent.

After much deliberation, Luo Yi was still troubled by his lack of funds and the absence of professional talent.

In Flower Territory, only Butler Hoover and Ms. Mira could oversee the establishment of the bank, but these two had too many things to do and were simply too busy to manage.

In the end, Loy decided to first try to find a group of bankers and professionals from within the Habsburg Empire through various channels!
Frankly speaking, such a high-profile dividend distribution has its downsides.

The flower-themed company is already attracting attention, and this dividend distribution, even with little information leaked, caused a sensation.

Too much wealth can attract wolves and tigers.

Of course, there are some advantages as well.

On the one hand, having more money on hand leads to more investment activities.

Private enterprises in the flower-themed sector sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

On the other hand, the sight of immense wealth led those previously hesitant powerful individuals to finally begin appearing at the Lion Manor in Flower Territory.

February of the year 315 of the New Divine Calendar can be seen as a month in which the Flower Territory's strength surged.

First, there were those who tried to break through their limitations in seclusion. Some failed, while others successfully took a step forward.

For example, Grand Knight Commander Thor's second breakthrough, his last gamble, still ended in failure.

He was getting old after all, his health was declining, and he had also lost his knightly spirit.

If mages need talent and intellect, then warriors often need that fearless, reckless spirit to forge ahead.

Unfortunately, Thor's spirits had been almost completely worn down. In other words, he was well-prepared, and although his strength was greatly diminished, he still survived.

As for Alfonso Zeke, he successfully took that step, becoming a fourth-order Cataclysm.

He was already at the peak of the third tier before Luo Yi arrived.

In the past two years, resources have been plentiful, and investment in itself has been generous, with countless magical potions consumed to solidify the foundation step by step.

Moreover, the battle aura he cultivated was inherited from Iron Knight Phil, and he had accumulated a wealth of experience, plus a customized version of the awakening potion...

These favorable conditions combined made the creation of a fourth-order natural disaster a natural outcome.

At this point, Loy had six fourth-tier Calamities under his command, officially surpassing the five under Count Karl Raymond.

Of course, that's not all!
Vincent Ackerman and Tanya the female tyrant also began their final adjustments before their breakthrough. Loy even arranged for several powerful beings from the Calamity Realm to give them lessons.

We'll discuss the key points and experiences involved in achieving breakthroughs.

It wasn't that Luo Yi was unwilling to make the time, but his breakthrough wasn't universally applicable, and teaching him might easily backfire.

As for those who broke through to the extraordinary level at the second stage, there were even more.

The result of this concentrated outbreak was that within a month, the Flower Territory gained six more Tier 3 Transcendent beings, five of whom were from the Imperial Guard.

This is just the beginning; many more people will continue to cultivate and break through.

To be honest, achieving a fourth-tier natural disaster requires some luck, but achieving a third-tier transcendental status with sufficient resources has a pretty good chance.

As for the only non-military breakthrough fighter, it was none other than Ang, the intelligence chief of Loy.

Of course, this is only part of the talent pool for Flower Leader; many more outsiders await Luo Yi's assessment.
