Victor didn't give an answer to Riley's question.
However, Riley made a response to Victor's suggestion that the workers should pay attention to their rest after careful consideration.
The workers on the construction site didn't need to work under the hottest sun. Now, Riley would give them an extra two hours of lunch break at noon every day, so that they could get enough rest and avoid the hottest part of the day.
However, this move wasn't welcomed by the workers. Instead, it was opposed by many people.
The reason for the workers' objection was simple.
Because according to the normal rules, since the working hours were reduced, the corresponding salary would be reduced.
Originally, although the workers were tired, they could get a high salary of at least 25 gold coins a month, which was much higher than the workers at other construction sites of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.
This was because in order to complete the project as soon as possible, New Flyer gave a high price to the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, which made the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's budget very sufficient.
Secondly, the work here was really hard. If the workers weren't paid enough, of course, not many of them would be willing to accept it.
But since the workers accepted the job, they were originally here for the high salary. Although they could have more rest time now, it was meaningless to reduce their salary.
However, under Riley's enforcement, the workers' objection couldn't really become a reality. They could only accept the arrangement.
Fortunately, even if they had two more hours of rest at noon, their salary was only reduced from 25 gold coins to 22 gold coins a month, which was still very high. The workers didn't resist.
However, the workers became obedient, but the doubts in Riley's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Victor's words before had been lingering in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of them.
It was hard to say whether the Magic Industry Academy could continue to be built.
What was going on?
This question was finally answered a week after Victor left.
It was a hot day as usual. At noon, Riley asked the workers to stop their work. After making some arrangements, he found a shady place to have a good sleep after lunch.
But just as he was lying on the cold chair and his body hadn't completely relaxed, he heard the noise of tires rolling over stones in the distance.
Looking over, he found three Magic Sedans quickly driving over from the distance.
Riley glanced at it and frowned slightly.
If he wasn't wrong, the pure white Magic Sedan in front should be Xu Yi's personal Magic Sedan. This meant that Xu Yi had personally come this time?
Riley stood up and walked over, feeling puzzled.
What was Xu Yi doing here in the middle of the day?
Moreover, there were three Magic Sedans and a medium sized passenger Magic Car behind them, this lineup really wasn't small.
After a while, the four cars stopped outside the construction site and Xu Yi came out of the first Magic Sedan.
The one who came out of the first Magic Sedan with him was a man who looked rather old. He was wearing a purple robe in this hot weather, tightly wrapping himself up.
Based on the style of his robe, this man should be an old magician.
The one who also came out of the first Magic Sedan was Victor, the manager of the New Flyer, as well as another magician.
As for the two Magic Sedans and the medium sized passenger Magic Car, there were also large amounts of magicians wearing different kinds of magic robes. There were only a few workers from the New Flyer among them.
"Chairman Xu, you are … …" Riley came forward with a doubtful look.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile and gave an introduction to the old magician beside him.
"Sir Alex Ferguson, this is the manager of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, Riley.
Look, this large area is the responsibility of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce and it's already starting to take shape. "
The old magician called Sir Alex Ferguson looked around and nodded, as a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"To think that such a large area could be turned into such a state in less than two months.
Manager Riley, your Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce really is amazing. "
Hearing Xu Yi introduce this old magician as a Great Magician, Riley was surprised. Hearing his praise, he quickly gave a slight bow and said with a respectful smile, "Being able to receive the praise of your excellency Great Magician, it is our Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce's honour."
Sir Alex Ferguson gave an un sound before turning to look at the other magicians who were being led around the construction site by the other workers from the New Flyer. He asked Xu Yi, "Chairman Xu, after this magic machine industry academy is finished, how many students can it take?"
"The first batch will take in three thousand. When everything is ready, I think that this academy will be able to take in over ten thousand students."
"Oh?
Ten thousand?
That really is a large amount. "Sir Alex Ferguson gave a soft laugh.
"But Chairman Xu … Before building this academy, why didn't you give me a heads-up?"
Manager Riley on the side raised a brow and looked at Great Magician Ferguson with a strange gaze.
He was very curious. Why would New Flyer need to give you a heads-up when building an academy?
Even if you are a Great Magician, Xu Yi himself is also a Great Magician, so he isn't worse than anyone else.
Besides, New Flyer has two other Great Magicians, and also has Teacher Carmilla, who is one of the top magicians on the continent. Why would they need to consider your opinion?
However, Sir Alex Ferguson said this as if it was only natural. Xu Yi unexpectedly didn't refute him. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is my negligence.
But I also hope that I can prepare in advance so as to not waste time.
After all, if headquarters agrees with my plan, there will be a lot of work to be done. It's better to prepare early. "
Sir Alex Ferguson snorted softly, "But Chairman Xu, don't you think it's a bit too much to do this without the approval of headquarters?"
Manager Riley was even more surprised. He wondered where this Sir Alex Ferguson came from. How dare he speak to Chairman Xu in such a tone?
However, Xu Yi didn't mind Sir Alex Ferguson's tone at all. Instead, he continued to smile and patiently said, "So, didn't I lead you here as soon as possible?
You see, as long as this academy is built, we can immediately recruit three thousand low-level magicians to study in the academy.
Then, after two years of study, or four to five years of study, they can enter New Flyer or other magic machine companies to work. This will perfectly solve their livelihood problems. "
"I don't deny this.
But chairman Xu, I still have to say that you can't open this school without the approval of headquarters, that definitely won't do.
What are you going to do if the headquarters' council doesn't approve it? "
Xu Yi gave a sigh, but he still said with a smile, "I think that the elders at the headquarters will understand my intentions and won't make it hard for me, right?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Sir Alex Ferguson snorted coldly. He flung his sleeves and left Xu Yi behind. He also walked to the construction site and joined the other magicians who were visiting.
Seeing him walk away, manager Riley frowned and approached Xu Yi.
"Chairman Xu, what's going on?
Where did this Sir Alex Ferguson come from?
Victor said that this academy might not be able to be built. Is it related to the headquarters you were talking about? "
Xu Yi squinted his eyes and glanced at Sir Alex Ferguson in the distance. He said in a deep voice, "They are representatives sent by the Magician's Union Headquarters.
Although they can't control this magic machine industry academy in theory, if they don't agree, I'm afraid there will be trouble even if it is built. "
"Magician's Union Headquarters?"
Manager Riley looked at Sir Alex Ferguson in surprise. He thought that it was no wonder this old magician's attitude was so condescending.
However, after thinking about it, manager Riley felt a little unhappy. He couldn't help but snort coldly, "Chairman Xu, even if he is a representative of the Magician's Union Headquarters, he has no right to tell New Flyer what to do.
You can build it yourself. No wonder the Magician's Union Headquarters came here to tear it down. "
"They definitely won't tear it down.
But it is very likely that they will issue a ban on all magicians through the Sorcerers Union and not allow them to study in this academy.
If that's the case, even if we build this academy, we won't be able to recruit any students. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort? "
"They won't be so ruthless, right?" Riley widened his eyes in surprise.
"If they can do such a thing, then doesn't it mean that they can even make the magicians in New Flyer stop working for you?
That's much more powerful than this. "
"No, they won't do such a stupid thing.
Even if I said that low level magicians shouldn't be allowed to study in this academy, they won't do it openly.
But the Sorcerers Union's influence on the magicians of the continent is too great. I have to be careful. "Xu Yi shook his head and explained.
"Hmm ….. That's true." Manager Riley muttered to himself for a moment and felt a headache coming on.
New Flyer was built on the foundation of magicians. The core of the Chamber of Commerce was those magicians.
If they really offended the Sorcerers Union and caused the Sorcerers Union to target them, then their days would be very difficult.
"Then ….. Chairman Xu, what do you plan to do?
I've been listening to Sir Alex Ferguson talk for a long time, but I haven't heard him mention any specific requests. "
Xu Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Heh, if they were so eager to reveal their intentions, then I wouldn't be so worried.
Of course, does he think that if he doesn't say anything, I won't know what they want? "
