Heinz looked at the fatty looking around the workshop and his heart was filled with confusion.
"Hey, Xu Yi, what is this fellow doing?
How can you let him look around the workshop?
Wouldn't we have no secrets like this? "
Seeing that the fatty actually wanted to try operating the Magic Thread Rolling Machine, Heinz finally couldn't help asking this to Xu Yi.
"Secrets?" Xu Yi pretended to be surprised as he looked at Heinz.
"What secrets?"
"Nonsense, of course it's the production process of the Magic Fan. This is our company's secret!" Heinz anxiously said.
Heinz anxiously said, "If these things were revealed, wouldn't other people be able to make the second generation Variable Speed Magic Fan like us!"
"Heinz, you're too nervous."
Xu Yi patted Heinz's shoulder and signaled for him to relax. Then he pointed at the slaves working on the Magic Fan in the workshop and said, "Look, there are all these people in the workshop, do you think there are any secrets?"
"How is that the same? They are all our employees!" Heinz's eyes widened.
Heinz's eyes popped out, "Then again, they are all Viscount Leslie's slaves. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare casually reveal these things."
"The problem is that these things will be revealed sooner or later, right?"
Xu Yi gave a shrug and said with a relaxed look, "Then again, I never thought of keeping these things a secret because it isn't important at all."
"How could it not be important?!" Heinz couldn't help but wave his arms.
Heinz couldn't help waving his hand, "Even if we can't keep it in the end, we can keep it for a bit longer. That means we have a bit more advantage over others, so isn't this important?"
Xu Yi gave a shrug. He thought that it would take too much effort to explain his big ideas to a small minded fellow like Heinz, so he didn't explain at all. He directly came to the side of chairman Farsak who was already preparing to operate the Magic Thread Rolling Machine.
"Hei, chairman Farsak, operating this machine is quite dangerous, so I suggest that you don't try it so easily."
Chairman Farsak turned his head and gave a laugh to Xu Yi, "Relax, I've been watching from the side for a while, there's no problem."
Seeing that he was this excited, Xu Yi didn't want to ruin his mood. He watched from the side and if he found something wrong, he could pull him away at any time.
However, although chairman Farsak looked fat, he was very nimble. After watching from the side for a while, he operated the Magic Thread Rolling Machine very well and quickly finished processing a screw.
Seeing the incomparably fine threads of the screw after it was processed, chairman Farsak couldn't help praising it.
"Great!
This is really great!
Chairman Xu, although this is a small thing, if it was made by a blacksmith, it would take him an entire day to make this small thing. However, with this machine, it only takes less than a minute to make it!
...........
. "Xu Yi laughed. He thought that you haven't seen the might of the advanced CNC machines from earth, otherwise your chin would have fallen off from shock.
"Chairman Farsak, now that you've finished looking at this workshop, what do you think?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
Hearing this question, chairman Farsak fell silent. He shook his head to look at the situation of the workshop for a while before saying with a sigh, "Chairman Xu, I have to say, your workshop has really opened my eyes.
I thought that making a Magic Fan would be a very complicated matter, but after coming to your workshop to take a look, I've found that making a Magic Fan is actually this simple. It's just some workers without any special skills, but they can easily and orderly assemble a Magic Fan.
To be honest, I never thought that your small workshop would have such a high efficiency.
Let me guess, your workshop can produce over three hundred Magic Fans in a single day, right? "
Xu Yi gave him a thumbs up, "Chairman Farsak, your eyes really are sharp.
That's right, this workshop can indeed produce over three hundred Magic Fans each day.
Of course, this is only limited to the second generation Variable Speed Magic Fan. As for the first generation Magic Fan, because of the design problem, it can't produce this much. "
Xu Yi didn't tell him that the workshop's working hours were strictly controlled to eight hours each day. If they worked overtime, it wasn't a problem to produce five hundred Magic Fans each day.
Only Xu Yi had a high requirement for quality, so he strictly controlled the output and didn't make up the numbers.
Chairman Farsak turned back to look at the machines being controlled by the slaves and said in a thoughtful voice, "Chairman Xu, if I had to say something, the core of your workshop should be these machines, right?"
Xu Yi nodded with a faint smile, "Chairman Farsak, your eyes really are unique.
How about it?
What do you think of these machines? "
"What do I think?" Chairman Farsak suddenly revealed a bitter smile.
"Chairman Xu, before I came here, I was very confident in cooperating with you. I even thought that you would obediently cooperate with me because there would only be benefits for you and no harm at all.
But now that I've seen the machines over the past few days, I've found that our positions have been reversed.
I have to admit, you've already taken the initiative.
To be honest, I don't like this feeling at all. "
Xu Yi laughed, "Chairman Farsak, you're too modest. Since we're cooperating, there isn't any difference in status and there isn't any initiative.
Cooperation is everyone taking what they need and achieving a win-win situation, don't you think? "
"Win-win?" Chairman Farsak's little eyes that were squeezed by his fat lit up.
"This word sounds very new, but it's very reasonable.
That's right, the most perfect result of cooperation is a win-win situation.
But Chairman Xu, how do you think we should cooperate to achieve this win-win situation? "
Xu Yi pointed at the machines with a grin, "Chairman Farsak, I wonder if you're interested in buying a few of these machines back?"
Chairman Farsak was shocked, "Chairman Xu, you … you mean … you're actually willing to sell these machines to me?"
"Why wouldn't I?" Xu Yi spread out his hands.
"If I don't want to sell you these machines, then why do you think I brought you here?"
"But these machines …" Chairman Farsak rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "All right, since you, Chairman Xu, are willing to sell them, I'm naturally very happy to buy them.
But Chairman Xu, I'm afraid these machines alone aren't enough to constitute a cooperation between us, right? "
"Of course, it's not just the machines, there's also the manpower.
I believe that you won't be able to find workers in Saltan City who can control these machines, so not only will I sell them to you, I'll also help you train workers. I'll also teach you how to assemble the second generation Variable Speed Magic Fan in this workshop, until your factory can smoothly operate like this workshop.
What do you think of these conditions? "
Chairman Farsak narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Xu Yi for a while before suddenly saying, "Chairman Xu, you're not joking?"
Xu Yi said with a faint smile, "Would I joke with you at this time?"
Chairman Farsak nodded. After thinking for a bit, he slowly said, "Chairman Xu, I have to say, these conditions are just too generous. I even suspected that you were lying to me for a moment.
Giving such generous conditions, your request shouldn't be low. How about you tell me about it? "
"My request ….. It isn't high, but it also isn't low. It all depends on what chairman Farsak thinks." Xu Yi replied.
"Oh?
There's still such a strange request?
Chairman Xu, please speak. "
"My request is … …"
… …
Two days later, chairman Farsak finished his discussion with Xu Yi and sat in a horse carriage leaving Banta City.
Watching the horse carriage disappear into the horizon, Heinz said with knit brows, "Xu Yi, is this really alright?
Although we can earn ten silver coins for each Magic Fan they make, like this, we're giving up on Saltan City. If we really calculate it, wouldn't our losses be even bigger?
Not to mention that we're giving away all the Magic Fan technology we have right now, so there will be many Magic Fan factories like them in the future. When the time comes, our space for development will be greatly limited. "
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and said with a shake of his head, "No, Heinz, you should look at the long term.
The Magic Fan is something that isn't hard to imitate, so it won't last long.
If we want to keep taking the lead, we need to keep looking for new things and changes. This is based on our continuous research.
As long as we can keep taking the lead in terms of technology, we can keep taking the lead.
There is something I can tell you right now, you have to remember it. "
Heinz looked at Xu Yi with rapt attention. He knew that every time Xu Yi said something in this tone, it was very important.
"A third rate company makes a product.
For a company like chairman Farsak, even if they build a factory, it will only be a third rate company that makes Magic Fans. It won't have that much of an impact. "
"A second rate company makes a brand.
I've already explained the concept of a brand to you before, but I think you still can't understand it.
You and I have worked together for this long and you still can't understand it. Then in this Sines world, perhaps there aren't many people who understand the meaning of a brand.
Perhaps they know, but they don't know how to do it.
And this is what our Frestech Chamber of Commerce is doing right now.
The Xinfei brand is at least a very reputable brand in Banta City. As long as we don't do anything that ruins our own reputation, this brand can continue. "
"The last and most important thing is that a first rate company is the standard.
This is the goal I'm working towards right now, but this goal is very hard and we might need to spend a long time before we can reach this goal.
But once we reach this goal, our New Flyer can be said to be standing on the Sines.
Chairman Farsak might think that buying those magic machines from me is very profitable, but in my opinion, he has already fallen into my standard.
Even if the Farsak Chamber of Commerce is stronger than us, they will still be thrown far behind us in the end. "
Heinz looked at Xu Yi, not understanding why he had such strong confidence.
In terms of scale, the Farsak Chamber of Commerce that was one of the best in Saltan City was several dozen times bigger than their small New Flyer. Not to mention surpassing them, it would be hard to even approach them.
But although he didn't understand Xu Yi's words, Heinz felt that they were very powerful. At least this proved that Xu Yi already had a long term plan in his mind, so his actions shouldn't be messing around.
Seeing Xu Yi's confident face, Heinz's heart skipped a beat.
"Perhaps this fellow will really make New Flyer one of the top companies in the Sines world."
