"A total of one hundred and thirty seven?"
Xu Yi had a headache as he looked at the order Heinz gave him. He didn't know if he should be happy or worried for a while.
The hot sales of the Magic Fan didn't exceed his expectations. In this kind of hot weather, everyone hoped that there would be something that could cool them down. However, the large scale Frost Array was too expensive for most people, so with the appearance of the Magic Fan, it satisfied their needs.
Thinking about it, compared to the large scale Frost Array that cost thirty gold coins and the monthly maintenance cost of over a hundred gold coins, the Magic Fan that only needed two gold coins to purchase and didn't cost more than one gold coin a month was without a doubt much cheaper.
Even if the effect of the Magic Fan couldn't compare to the large scale Frost Array, as long as it could cool people down a bit, it would be enough to relieve the heat.
But no matter what, Xu Yi never would have thought that in just a single day, Heinz would receive a total of one hundred and thirty seven Magic Fans.
Moreover, according to what Heinz said, there were even more people who didn't have the determination to buy because they hadn't seen the real thing. Once there was enough Magic Fans, the sales volume would far surpass one hundred and thirty seven.
"Dear Xu, no matter what, you have to make one hundred and thirty seven Magic Fans as soon as possible. This is related to our future reputation!"
If Heinz's attitude towards Xu Yi before was considered normal politeness, now he was looking at Xu Yi like he was looking at a mountain of gold. His voice was filled with a strong expectation and even a trace of flattery.
"Of course, if it's possible, you can make as many Magic Fans as you can!
Believe me, there will be many people in Banta City who need this Magic Fan!
Even if no one in Banta City wants it, I believe that there will be people in other cities who need it! "
Xu Yi couldn't resist Heinz's fanaticism, but thinking of the seven gold coins and silver coins Heinz had just given him, his heart was filled with passion.
"Alright, I will do my best to complete it!"
But while it was easy to agree, it was very hard to actually do it.
To complete the one hundred and thirty seven Magic Fans, it was impossible to rely on just Xu Yi alone.
Even if he was very familiar with making Magic Fans, if Xu Yi was alone, it would take him at least three hours of non-stop work to make a Magic Fan. Multiplying that by one hundred and thirty seven, that was an entire four hundred and eleven hours, which would take him half a month!
After sending Heinz off, Xu Yi carefully considered it. He first went to the blacksmith shop that he had ordered the Magic Fan casings from before and placed an order for two hundred casings before rushing back to the Carmilla Magic Tower.
He took advantage of the lunch break to meet Heinz. When he returned to the research room, his colleagues happened to be there.
In front of everyone's surprised gazes, Xu Yi specially brought back a large bag of cold ale. When he came in front of Rem, he didn't reach out to take it. Rather he asked with a frown, "Hey, Xu Yi, just say it if you have something.
My mom taught me that after eating something given to me by others, my mouth will become soft. If you don't say anything, I won't drink your ale. "
Hearing Rem say this, the colleagues who were prepared to take the ale all put it down and looked at Xu Yi with curious gazes.
Rem's reaction surprised Xu Yi. He looked at Rem and revealed a smile. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he raised his voice and said, "Everyone, I do have something that I need everyone's help with.
Of course, this ale is just a small gift, it doesn't count for anything. Everyone can relax and drink it, I didn't add any poison in it. "
Xu Yi's relaxed words made everyone laugh. He immediately continued, "As for asking everyone to help, naturally there will be a reward. This can be considered a bit of extra income, I wonder if everyone is interested?"
"How much is the reward?"
"What is it?"
"How long will it take?
Will it be busy? "
… …
Everyone was concerned about different things, but they were all very concerned about the reward.
Helping Great Magician Camilla with his magic research, although there was a monthly reward, it was fixed and not much. So when these colleagues knew that there would be a reward, they all cared about it.
"This job shouldn't be hard for everyone and it won't take much time. As for the reward, it depends on how well you finish. The more you finish, the more you'll receive.
The specifics are like this ….. "
When they heard Xu Yi explain that they only needed to draw a simple Revolving Wind Array, everyone let out a sigh of relief. For them, drawing a low level Revolving Wind Array didn't take much time and wasn't difficult at all.
But when they heard Xu Yi say that they would receive ten silver coins for each Revolving Wind Array they completed, everyone's enthusiasm surged. Even the silent Wella was a bit moved.
According to what Xu Yi said, this job was very simple. They just needed to draw several Revolving Wind Arrays and they would receive several gold coins. This really was easy and happy.
After Xu Yi finished explaining, of the sixteen people in the lab other than Xu Yi, ten of them accepted this job.
The ones that didn't accept included Rem and Wella, as well as the top ranked magicians in the lab.
Xu Yi only gave a gentle smile to this and didn't say anything.
He knew in his heart that these people didn't accept because they looked down on this job and even looked down on him.
But this didn't affect him at all. Being able to convince ten of his colleagues to help him was already out of his expectations.
With the help of these ten colleagues, not only would it not be a problem to complete the one hundred and thirty seven Magic Fans order, they could even follow Heinz's ideas and produce an even higher number.
###
In the following week, Xu Yi could be considered very busy.
On one hand, he had to strictly monitor the quality of the Magic Fan casing in the blacksmith shop.
As a high level mechanical engineer from earth, Xu Yi knew that when mass producing, the most important thing was to unify the specifications of the products.
However, in Sines, the blacksmiths completely relied on their own experience and skills. They didn't strictly control the specifications at all, so naturally it was impossible to unify all the products.
Xu Yi didn't have a way to deal with this for now. He could only clearly mark it on the blueprint and strictly request the blacksmiths to follow the blueprint.
On the other hand, he needed to personally teach his ten colleagues how to draw the Revolving Wind Array.
In the beginning, those ten colleagues didn't care about this at all. They thought that they didn't need Xu Yi to teach them how to draw a trivial Revolving Wind Array, they could casually draw it.
But when Xu Yi placed the modified Revolving Wind Array in front of them, they found that this Revolving Wind Array was much more complicated than they had imagined. There were many nodes and lines in the array that they couldn't understand at all.
One of the colleagues didn't want to give up and made a rough drawing. However, when Xu Yi combined the array with the Magic Fan casing, everyone found that the wind coming out of the Magic Fan was very weak, like there wasn't any wind at all.
At this time, they obediently listened to Xu Yi's arrangements and seriously learned how to draw the array.
Other than putting in large amounts of effort in these two areas, Xu Yi couldn't give up his work in the Carmilla Magic Tower.
Heinz had advised Xu Yi before about this. With the sales prospects of the Magic Fan, Xu Yi could give up his work in the Magic Tower. Just by cooperating with him to sell the Magic Fan, he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, so why did he need to make himself this busy?
Xu Yi just smiled and didn't reply to Heinz about his reason for doing this. He just insisted on going to the Magic Tower to work every day.
After a busy week, the work on the two hundred Magic Fans was finally finished. Putting aside the thirteen defective products that were produced for various reasons, there were a total of four hundred and eighty seven Magic Fans that were produced. Not only did they complete a hundred and thirty seven orders, they also sold an extra three hundred and fifty Magic Fans.
The small room Xu Yi rented became a temporary workshop during this time. After finishing work in the Magic Tower each day, Xu Yi and his ten colleagues would come here to work hard on the Magic Fan Arrays.
The atmosphere in the workshop today was different from before, there was a bit of joy and joy. This was because after finishing the work on the five hundred Magic Fans, Xu Yi had given everyone their remuneration.
Of the ten colleagues, each person finished drawing an average of fifty Magic Arrays. According to the remuneration that Xu Yi had set with them before, each person would receive five gold coins.
This remuneration wasn't that much strictly speaking, but for these low grade magicians who normally didn't have many chances to earn money, this was a very solid income.
Other than that, Xu Yi had also given each of them a Magic Fan as a thank you.
It had to be known that the Magic Fan was a hot selling product in Banta City and normal people couldn't buy it even if they wanted to.
In private, the Magic Fan that was set at two gold coins had been raised to three gold coins, which was an entire 50% increase!
If they sold the Magic Fan that Xu Yi gave them, that would be equal to an extra three gold coins!
Seeing the excited faces of his young colleagues that were trying their best to hide it, Xu Yi revealed a faint smile. He turned to look in the direction of Heinz's store.
Tomorrow was the day that Heinz set for selling large amounts of Magic Fans. This time he had used the pre-order money for the one hundred and thirty seven Magic Fans to make five hundred Magic Fans. If the sales tomorrow were very good, he would definitely earn a large amount.
But if an accident happened and the Magic Fans couldn't be sold, he would lose all of his hard-earned money.
Success?
Failure?
He could only wait until tomorrow to see the results.
