Because it was in the southwest of the Lampari Kingdom, it was the city closest to the south. So compared to the other cities of the kingdom, Banta City entered summer a bit earlier.
When Xu Yi came to Banta City two years ago, it was the beginning of June and the streets of Banta City were as hot as summer.
When Banta City entered June this year, the weather quickly became hot.
But compared to the other cities of the kingdom, this kind of weather also created a rather special environment for Banta City.
It was just June and a large pile of summer fruits in Koror Village had already ripened, entering the harvest season.
Just like before, the beginning of June was a good day to pick Sand Pears and Star Fruits. Many of the villagers of Koror Village were the same as before, being busy in their orchards during this time, seizing the time to pick fruits.
But what was different from before was that the fruits picked in the past would be sent to Banta City to be sold or they would be sent further to Karma City or Saltan City to be sold. But this year, the Sand Pears and Star Fruits picked by the villagers of Koror Village were all sent to the new canned fruit factory by the village, not even being sent out of the village.
Because of the canned fruit factory, all the fruits in Koror Village were bought by New Flyer at last year's market price before they ripened and they were all turned into canned fruit.
After the Sand Pears and Star Fruits were sent to the factory, they would be boiled first. After they were boiled, they would be placed in glass jars that were tightly sealed with iron lids.
As the fruits were sent to the factory, the sweet fragrance of the boiled fruits floated out of the workshop, enveloping the entire Koror Village in an enticing sweet fragrance.
Stiel took a deep breath of the sweet air and couldn't help praising, "This smell is too good, I want to keep living here."
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, "It's fine if you just smell it for a bit, but if you stay here all day, do you believe that not long after, you'll feel disgusted when you see fruit?"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Stiel doubtfully looked at Xu Yi before taking a deep breath beside the pot of canned fruit, revealing an intoxicated look.
"How can I be sick of such a fragrant smell?"
Xu Yi chuckled and joked, "Then do you want to stay here and work for a week? Let's see if you'll get tired of it."
Still wrinkled her delicate little nose and wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but a fat middle aged man wearing a white factory uniform on the side said with a smile, "Sir chairman is right.
Madame Stiel, no matter how good the smell is, if you stay here all the time, you will feel a little nauseous.
Look, the workers are all wearing masks now. Firstly, it's because the president strictly requires hygiene. Secondly, it's to reduce the smell. "
"Really?"
Stiel glanced at the workers who were working in the canning workshop. Sure enough, she saw that all the workers were wearing a large mask over their mouths. Out of curiosity, she also asked for a mask and put it on. She then sniffed around.
Seeing Stiel looking around with interest, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile. He didn't accompany her, but asked the middle-aged man who spoke just now, "Factory Manager Will, the factory has been open for almost half a month. Do you think it's going smoothly?"
Factory Manager Will laughed and replied, "In the beginning, because we didn't have any experience, there was a lot of trouble. But with the president's help, these troubles are nothing.
Now the whole factory is going very smoothly. The workers are very enthusiastic. "
"That's good.
Then do you think we can complete the first batch of orders from the Walmart Chamber of Commerce this month? "Xu Yi asked again.
Hearing this question, Factory Manager Will hesitated.
"This … Right now, we can only make less than two thousand cans of canned fruit a day. But the Walmart Chamber of Commerce's first order is a hundred thousand cans … I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult …"
"If it's difficult, then find a way to overcome it." Xu Yi said bluntly.
"This is the first batch of orders from the Walmart Chamber of Commerce. If there's a problem in the first cooperation, it will affect future cooperation.
So Factory Manager Will, you have to think of a way to improve the efficiency of the workers. "
"Of course, of course." Factory Manager Will nodded repeatedly.
"Since it's the president's order, I will do my best to complete it."
"This has nothing to do with whether it's my order or not." Xu Yi shook his head lightly.
"Although this canned fruit factory is under our New Flyer's name, the workers in the factory are all villagers from Koror Village, Kambia Village, and Yulan Village. Moreover, the canned fruit used is from Koror Village. If the factory's efficiency is good enough, the three villages will benefit the most, especially the villagers of Koror Village.
So no matter what, just for the benefit of the villagers of your village, you have to do your best. "
"I understand!" Factory Manager Will nodded vigorously.
"President, I will do my best and think of a way to run this factory well!"
"Good, I believe in you."
Xu Yi smiled and patted Factory Manager Will's shoulder. He then warned, "Of course, before increasing the production efficiency, you have to prioritize the quality.
You have to know that this factory produces food. If it's not hygienic and safe, people might die. "
Seeing Xu Yi's solemn tone, Factory Manager Will accepted the order.
After a few more words, Xu Yi and Stiel went to visit the canned food factory with Factory Manager Will. Only then did they leave Koror Village. They took the carriage onto the Falling Rain Road and headed towards the Falling Rain Valley.
Stiel turned around and looked at Koror Village that was far away from the carriage. She asked Xu Yi, "Why didn't you go anywhere else? Why did you choose to come and inspect this canned food factory?
If I had to say, this canned fruit factory should be the place that has the least to do with magic machines under the company's name. "
"It's precisely because it looks like it has the least to do with magic machines that I chose to inspect it." Xu Yi smiled as he answered.
"Since I have already announced that I will let go of everything and will no longer interfere with the company's management, then I have to show it.
But if I don't do anything at all and really go on a honeymoon with you, I'm afraid that the people in the company will be worried. "
"Hmph, what's there to be worried about? Are they the only ones who can have a holiday, but you can't?" Stiel pouted.
"It's not a question of whether I can have a holiday or not. It's related to confidence.
If I really don't do anything at all, I'm afraid that others will think that I'm really going to let go.
Then I'm sure that a lot of people in the company will lose confidence in the company. There will be big problems. "Xu Yi said.
"I didn't know that you were so narcissistic." Stiel poked Xu Yi's cheek with a finger.
"Chairman Xu, based on your tone, it seems like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce can't do without you?
Aren't you too arrogant? "
"I am that arrogant." Xu Yi laughed.
"Do you dare to not admit that I'm telling the truth?"
Stiel rolled her eyes. She wanted to refute Xu Yi, but she found that she couldn't refute him at all.
Because what Xu Yi said was the truth.
It wasn't a problem if the New Flyer lacked anyone, but it definitely couldn't lack him as the chairman.
It wasn't exaggerated to say that Xu Yi could be compared to the New Flyer.
This company that had been established for less than two years could develop this quickly, becoming an important company in Banta City in such a short period of time. It even had a certain amount of influence in the Lampari Kingdom because of Xu Yi's role that couldn't be replaced.
Without anyone else, the New Flyer could still operate normally, but without Xu Yi, it would definitely be like Xu Yi said, there would be a large problem.
Seeing Stiel's speechless expression, Xu Yi laughed. He pinched Stiel's cheek and said, "So, I want to make my attitude clear to everyone, so that Kennard can smoothly take over the management matters. I also want everyone to understand that I am still our New Flyer's chairman.
This is actually very hard to grasp, but after thinking about it, I found that inspecting the canned fruit factory was a very good choice.
Because the canned fruit factory isn't related to our company's main business, the magic machines, if I inspect this place, it won't affect Kennard's main business.
Moreover, didn't you notice?
When I said those words to factory head Will, there wasn't a single word related to management. "
Stiel tilted her head and thought about it. She found that Xu Yi was right.
But after thinking about it, Stiel couldn't help but frown. She softly sighed and said, "Why do you have to make it so troublesome?
Actually, everyone knows that you are the only chairman of New Flyer. No matter what you do, it won't reduce your prestige in everyone's hearts.
Aren't you tired of thinking about it so much? "
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders, "It's because I'm tired that I'm thinking of ways to increase Kennard's prestige.
Only when Kennard can truly share the management matters for me will I have enough time to do other things.
You see, if it was in the past, how could I have so much time to accompany you all day?
Don't you feel happy? "
Stiel revealed a sweet smile. She kissed Xu Yi and said softly, "Of course I'm happy.
How can I not be happy that you can relax a bit and not be pressured by a pile of things like before? "
Xu Yi smiled and kissed her back. He looked out the window in the direction of the carriage, but he sighed in his heart.
Although on the surface, it seemed that he could free himself from those tedious management matters and have more time and energy.
But in reality, as New Flyer continued to grow, there were more and more things that he had to face and solve as the chairman, and they were also more and more complicated.
Moreover, most of these matters involved a lot of things. If he didn't handle them properly, it might cause a big problem.
Compared to before, he wasn't much more relaxed.
