"30%?"
Elder Elucía's expression changed. After thinking about it, she asked, "Chairman Xu, can I ask, how serious are the losses to your company?"
"According to the contract we signed before, our New Flyer has delayed the production of a small part of the Magic Fan, causing a batch of orders not to be completed on time. Therefore, we have to pay the other side a penalty of three thousand gold coins." Xu Yi replied.
Elder Elucía revealed a sincere look of apology, "I'm sorry, Chairman Xu. I will think of a way to make up for the losses we've caused to your company."
Xu Yi looked at elder Elucía for a while before slowly shaking his head. He said with a sigh, "Elder Elucía, actually a loss of three thousand gold coins isn't much to our company. Compared to this, your tribe's losses are much bigger."
Elder Elucía looked at Xu Yi in surprise, "Why do you say this?"
"First, this time because there were defective products from your Nightsong tribe, according to the contract, the losses from these defective products should be borne by your Nightsong tribe.
According to the rules of us human merchants, you should compensate our New Flyer with enough gold coins. "
Elder Elucía said with a simple nod, "That is right, but our tribe doesn't have enough gold coins right now ….."
"We'll talk about this in the future."
Xu Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Second, this time our New Flyer has asked your Nightsong tribe to help our New Flyer produce twenty thousand Magic Fans, but there are over 30% defects in the products you've delivered.
According to the rules of humans, our company will have serious doubts about your Nightsong tribe's abilities. Even if we have similar orders in the future, we won't consider looking for your Nightsong tribe to complete them. "
Elder Elucía was silent for a while before she said with some difficulty, "I understand. This is a matter of credibility."
It was undoubtedly a very difficult decision for an Elf to admit that her tribe had a reputation problem in front of the Humans, who they all thought had no credibility to speak of. However, Elder Illusia still admitted it very honestly.
Xu Yi couldn't help but admire Elder Elucía. If it weren't for finding a way out for the Nightsong tribe and the entire elven race, she would never have put down the pride of the elves and frankly admitted the shortcomings of the elves.
"The last point is the most important one.
From this plastic shell production, I've found that there is a large problem with your Night Song Tribe, or rather the elves. That is … … "After saying this, Xu Yi stopped. After hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything.
Elder Elucía smiled faintly. "Please don't hold back. Just say it."
Xu Yi looked at her, paused, and then nodded. "Okay, then I'll just say it.
The problem is that the elves' personalities are generally very casual.
Or to put it in a more direct way, it's very … undisciplined. "
After saying that, Xu Yi looked at Elder Elucía nervously.
He wasn't sure how the other party would react if she heard him criticize her entire race so rudely.
However, Elder Elucía's reaction was beyond his expectations.
After hearing this evaluation, Elder Elucía was stunned for a moment, then she fell into deep thought for a long time.
She thought for more than half an hour until Xu Yi's legs were a little numb. Elder Elucía seemed to have suddenly woken up. She smiled apologetically at Xu Yi and said, "I'm sorry. I suddenly thought of something from a long time ago and got a little distracted."
"A long time ago?" Xu Yi was secretly speechless.
According to Elder Elucía's age, the long time ago she was talking about was probably a few hundred years ago.
That was really a long time ago...
"Chairman Xu, regarding your evaluation just now, I carefully thought about it and suddenly realized that the word 'discipline' has never existed in the language of the elves.
This word appeared later, and we learned it from you humans.
But... we elves have never understood the meaning of this word. "Elder Elucía said with a heavy expression.
Xu Yi was a little confused. "Didn't understand the meaning of this word?
What does that mean? "
"In other words..." Elder Elucía had a bitter smile on her face.
"We elves have never had any discipline from the beginning."
Xu Yi was stunned.
In the rumors about the elves on the Sines, the most adjectives were beautiful, elegant, mysterious, powerful, and arrogant... But no one had ever associated the word 'discipline' with the elves.
Regarding the reason why humans were able to seize the dominance of the continent from the elves thousands of years ago, the humans later concluded that it was time for the continent to change owners. Humans were born at the time, and with their unique creativity and strong learning ability, they finally controlled the entire continent.
But regarding the failure of the elves, it was rarely mentioned.
Now that he heard Elder Elucía's words, Xu Yi suddenly seemed to have grasped something.
But Elder Elucía didn't give Xu Yi more time to think. She suddenly stood up and said to Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, please come with me.
Let's go see how our clansmen are making these plastic shells, and how there is a 30% defective rate. "
Looking at Elder Elucía's back as she walked out the door, Xu Yi suddenly felt a trace of a cold aura that he had never felt before from her.
After leaving the Night Song Tribe's settlement that was surrounded by a few big trees and walking for less than 100 meters, a large open space the size of a standard football field appeared in the Falling Rain Forest.
And in this open space, there were more than a hundred elves busy at this time.
Looking from the left, one could see strong male elves running out of the forest from time to time, holding a large glass bottle in their hands. They came to the left side of the open space and poured the contents into a large porcelain jar.
Steam rose from the large porcelain jar, and the rosin of the resin kept coming out.
As the temperature gradually increased, the green light representing the magic array at the bottom of the large porcelain jar kept flashing. The impurities inside the resin were gradually separated and floated on the surface.
When all the impurities were taken care of, the elves on the side took out the impurities and poured the resin from the large porcelain jar into another container.
There were also elves that added an unknown light blue powder. After being stirred, the light yellow liquid became a bit viscous and the colour gradually turned into a light blue.
Finally under the guidance of the other elves, the resin was poured into a mold that had already been prepared. After a period of natural cooling, it formed a Magic Fan shell.
Although the entire process seemed rough, with the special magic of the elves, the final plastic shell was even better than the ones made by the plastic factories on earth.
Moreover, because of the nature of the elves, after the resin was turned into a plastic shell, it could still maintain the fragrance of the resin. It wasn't like the special smell of normal plastic.
There didn't seem to be any problems with this process, as the elves finished their work in an orderly manner.
But if one looked at it for a while, they would find that there would be some elves who would stop working and walk around, even singing and dancing.
The other elves didn't find this situation strange at all. There was even an elf that was a bit too excited when adding the additives to the material, as he threw in a large amount.
However, he actually allowed this batch of raw materials to enter the next step of the process. As a result, the final plastic shell that was made was obviously deformed.
When he looked at the final step of the formation process, he found something even more shocking.
A few elves who seemed to be bored actually gathered around the shell that was gradually taking shape in the mold. After discussing for a while, one of the elves picked up a branch from the ground and began to draw on the shell that had yet to take shape.
When he finished, perhaps it was because they felt that the pattern he drew was very beautiful, but the elves happily clapped their hands.
Xu Yi's face couldn't help twitching a few times.
Although he had already guessed from the high defect rate of more than 30% that the elves weren't very strict when producing these plastic shells, he never would have thought that these elves would be so casual in the proper production process!
If it were the human workers in the New Flyer factory, Xu Yi would definitely not say anything and fire all of them!
He turned his head to look at Elder Elucía and found that her face was still calm, but her furrowed brows revealed that her mood was definitely not good.
The two of them were under the influence of Elder Elucía's Shadow Hiding Technique, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the elves.
But looking at the behavior of these elves, it really wasn't a pleasant feeling.
"Chairman Xu, in your company's factory, how do the human workers work?" Elder Elucía suddenly asked.
Xu Yi looked at the elves in the distance who didn't seem to be serious at all and shook his head, "I don't know, but it's definitely not like them."
"Is that so?"
Elder Elucía pondered for a moment and continued, "Chairman Xu, actually, I don't really understand what discipline means.
Before, I didn't think that there was anything wrong with the way our clansmen were acting, but after talking with you today, I found that it is indeed wrong.
But how to change it, I don't know.
Chairman Xu, do you have any good ideas? "
"Do you really want to change them?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes."
"Then it's simple, teach them to me.
There is a very simple way to change them, and that is … … "Xu Yi's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile.
"Special training."
