After leaving Banta City for over ten days, when he came back, Xu Yi found that the foundation of the new workshop that hadn't even been finished had already taken shape. There were many workers working on the construction site, creating a lively scene.
There were all kinds of sounds coming from the two workshops beside the construction site. It was clear that these two workshops were also working in full swing.
When Xu Yi jumped out of the horse carriage, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's manager Wayne Riley who was directing the workers saw him and immediately came forward with a wide smile.
"Chairman Xu, you're finally back!"
Manager Riley looked over the people coming out of the horse carriages before pointing at the half finished wall of the new workshop behind him with a proud look, "Look, did we build it fast enough?"
Xu Yi nodded, "It's fast enough, but this fast, is the quality good enough?"
Manager Riley looked like he had been insulted as he said in a dissatisfied voice, "Chairman Xu, you're wronging me too much.
This project was personally given to me by our chairman, how could we not guarantee the quality?
From beginning to end, in order to ensure that the workers weren't careless at all, I was watching over this place the entire time. "
Xu Yi patted his shoulder with a smile, "Since there is manager Riley's guarantee, I'm assured.
Then let me ask, how long do you think it will take to finish the new workshop?
And how long will it take to officially use it? "
Manager Riley thought for a bit, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be finished in half a month. As for officially using it ….. that's hard to say.
It's already winter and it's starting to get cold, so the walls won't dry easily. I'm afraid it'll take some time. "
"It still needs some time?" Xu Yi knit his brows.
"If I want to officially use it within this month, do you think it's possible?"
"This month?
It's that rushed? "Seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, manager Riley thought about it before nodding.
"If Chairman Xu is in a rush to use it, I can think of a way to quickly dry the walls.
But this will affect the entire building and reduce its lifespan. "
Xu Yi smiled. "No matter how much we reduce it, it shouldn't collapse in three years, right?"
Manager Riley's face immediately turned red. "Chairman Xu, are you joking?
How could the house built by me, Riley, collapse in three years?
Let alone three years, even if it's thirty years, I can guarantee that it won't have any problems! "
Xu Yi laughed and shook his head. "It won't take as long as thirty years. It might even take less than three years because I'm going to replan this place soon. This new workshop might be demolished and rebuilt within three years."
Manager Riley looked at Xu Yi in astonishment.
Since he only planned to use the workshop for three years, why did Xu Yi insist that the quality of the new workshop must be good enough?
Could it be that New Flyer had too much money and nowhere to spend it?
"Manager Riley, I still have to ask you for something.
I don't have much time in the next few days, so I'll have to trouble you to tell chairman Cruz for me that I have something to discuss with him. I'll have to trouble him to tell me when he has time and we can set a time to meet. "Xu Yi then said.
Manager Riley nodded in response.
Xu Yi gave manager Riley a few more requests before arriving in front of the magicians who were curiously looking at the two workshops in front of them.
"Everyone, what you're looking at now are the two factories of our New Flyer.
Although they look quite simple, the various magic machines are made in these two factories.
Right now, these two factories can produce over ten thousand gold coins worth of magic machines for our New Flyer each month, bringing large amounts of profit to our company. It can be considered the foundation of our New Flyer.
If these two factories were destroyed by someone, I might have to go hungry. "
Xu Yi gave two laughs, but he found that the magicians in front of him didn't have any smiles on their faces. Rather they all knit their brows, as if they weren't satisfied with the scene they were seeing.
The reason why they agreed to Xu Yi's suggestion and followed him to Banta City was because Xu Yi had described New Flyer as a beautiful place. Who would have thought that when they came here, this New Flyer would only have two small workshops.
For a company of this scale, what kind of future could they have?
Xu Yi looked over and easily guessed what everyone was thinking. He didn't say anything else as he called out to everyone and led them to the household magic machine workshop.
The magicians behind him hesitated a bit before following him.
After all, they had come all the way here, so they had to make a decision after seeing it clearly.
When everyone entered the workshop, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
This small workshop, which was probably less than a thousand square meters in size, was actually packed with people. After a rough count, he estimated that there were close to two hundred people inside.
Not a single one of these two hundred people were idle, they were all busy working without stopping for a second.
Among them, the ones that attracted the most attention were the dozens of strange-looking iron lumps placed in each corner.
As the workers beside the machine operated, the iron lumps let out various roaring sounds. Then, the various iron parts that the workers put in changed their appearance.
As soon as these parts were made, they were immediately sent to another group of workers. These workers didn't stop as they skillfully assembled these parts before sending them to the next group of workers.
The next batch of workers performed another series of operations that dazzled everyone. After these parts were assembled, they changed their appearance again.
The parts were put together one by one and when the last group of workers put in some strange looking nails, these parts finally turned into a rectangular iron box.
"This ….. It seems to be that Magic Air Conditioner?" A magician suddenly pointed at the iron box and said in an uncertain voice.
"Magic Air Conditioner?
What is that thing? "The surrounding people immediately asked.
"The night before we left Anvilmar City, I was a guest at Viscount Launch's house. He had people put this thing in the room and said that it was a new thing that he had bought, it was called the Magic Air Conditioner." That magician explained.
"Speaking of this, it really is amazing. The room was very cold back then, but Viscount Launch put a Magic Crystal in the Magic Air Conditioner and turned it on, causing the Magic Air Conditioner to blow out a warm breeze. Not long after, the room was warmed up and I couldn't even wear a coat in the end.
If it was up to me, this Magic Air Conditioner's effects are even better than the large scale Flame Array! "
"Impossible, right?" Another magician couldn't help refuting.
"It costs that much to lay down the large scale Flame Array and this thing's effects are even better than the large scale Flame Array, isn't it too expensive?"
That magician shook his head, "It isn't expensive.
I heard Viscount Launch say that his Magic Air Conditioner only cost thirty five gold coins.
The more important thing is that this thing consumes very few Magic Crystals.
We stayed at Viscount Launch's place for an entire night and this thing only relied on a small Magic Crystal to support itself, it didn't change at all. "
"It can't be, right?" The others were even more surprised.
"Then isn't this thing much stronger than the large scale Flame Array?"
"That's right, I heard Viscount Launch say that this Magic Air Conditioner not only blows out warm air, it can also blow out cool air. It can even be used in the summer."
Feeling everyone's surprised gazes, that magician couldn't help feeling a bit smug. He began proudly telling everyone about what happened at Viscount Launch's house that night.
Xu Yi on the side couldn't help revealing a strange smile.
"Thirty five gold coins?
This Victor, he really knows how to raise the price. "
When he was discussing this with Xu Yi, Victor had told Xu Yi that he would set the price of the Magic Air Conditioner at thirty gold coins per unit. Who would have thought that from this magician's mouth, he would actually raise the price!
But Xu Yi didn't care if he raised the price or not. Anyway, he had given Victor a fixed price of twenty five gold coins per unit, so if Victor could sell it at a high price, that was his skill.
Seeing the magicians talking, Xu Yi didn't care about them and came to Heinz who had been giving him countless looks.
"Hey, Xu Yi, these fellows seem to be magicians. Could it be that you pulled them from Anvilmar City?" Seeing Xu Yi come to his side, Heinz immediately asked this in a low voice.
"Un.
I just don't know how many of them will decide to stay. "Xu Yi said with a nod.
"Let me see.
One ….. Two ….. There are a total of thirteen people. Even if they all stay, it's too little. "Heinz was a bit disappointed.
"The number isn't important, the important thing is that they stay." Xu Yi revealed a smile, not being as disappointed as Heinz.
Xu Yi shook his head, "Even if a single magician chooses to work for our Frestech Chamber of Commerce in the end, it is a major breakthrough because it has a large symbolic meaning. With one, there will be a second, a third, and even more."
Heinz carefully looked over the magicians who were still loudly discussing and knit his brows, as his disappointed expression didn't decrease at all.
"These fellows seem to be Primary and Second Grade Magicians, right?
What use can they have?
They aren't that much stronger than students. "
Xu Yi couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You think that those high level magicians would agree to come to our small company that doesn't have any fame at all?
Let me tell you, I already spent quite a bit of effort to convince them to come here.
Alright, our company isn't even the number one company in Banta City, so don't have such high expectations.
Although these people's magic power is normal, at least they don't have to spend so much time studying like the students. Moreover, they are much more experienced in arranging Magic Arrays, so their efficiency is much higher than the students'. "
Hearing Xu Yi's explanation, Heinz finally revealed a faint smile.
"Un, that's right.
The students are too unstable, I can't be assured if I rely on them.
If we can hire more magicians to replace the students in the future, it's worth it even if we give them a higher wage.
That's right, how much are you giving them? "
Xu Yi crossed his index fingers, "At least ten gold coins a month, the exact amount depends on the output."
Heinz revealed a surprised look, "It can't be, right?
Only ten gold coins a month and these noble magicians are willing to come with you? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "There's no other way, magicians are also people and need to eat."
