Although the sudden appearance of Agnis, a female elf, shocked Steele and Vivian, no one knew about it except the two of them, so naturally it did not have much impact.
People in Bangta City are still living their normal lives, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still making steady progress step by step according to the pace set by Xu Yi.
The development of the Magic Forging Machine Tool is proceeding smoothly.
With the full assistance of the Great Magician Camilla, the research on the core power magic array of a series of magic forging machine tools has progressed rapidly. Among them, the Great Magician Camilla is responsible for the most important positioning and preliminary improvement of the magic circle, and extends to All the detailed changes were left to the Magic Tower's men to study.
Because Camilla Magic Tower had already cooperated with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on several research projects before this, even though the research task was relatively arduous this time, it was still carried out in an orderly manner, and Xu Yi was very satisfied with the progress.
In line with the research progress of Canby and other dwarves on the appearance and structure design of magic forging machine tools, if nothing unexpected happens, Xu is sure to complete the research and development of this series of magic forging machine tools within the estimated month, and in a shorter period of time It will be officially put into use within a short period of time.
Although it may take a little longer than the guarantee in front of Sevigny, according to Xu Yi's estimation of the production capacity of magic forging machine tools, as long as these magic forging machine tools are also put into use, then the first batch of 3,000 farmland magic forging machines on the order The machinery can be completed more than a month in advance, leaving enough time for the Agriculture Department to arrange and deploy these farmland magic machines.
Of course, in Xu Yi's view, the development time for the magic forging machine tool is still too short.
Although there is a foundation of mechanical theoretical knowledge that has been refined over many years from the earth, so that the research on magic forging machine tools can avoid the most time-consuming theoretical research, but the magic forging machine tools developed in such a short period of time will definitely There are various flaws.
Xu Yi knew this well. But he had no choice.
Xu also had to do this in order to complete the orders from His Majesty the King and the Department of Agriculture within the specified time.
Although the current hasty research and development that speeds up the process is completely a waste of a large part of the research funds in Xu Yi's opinion, as long as this opportunity can be grasped, wasting some funds is not unacceptable.
Moreover, through this development of a series of magic forging machine tools. Whether it is the great magician Camilla and the magicians under him. It's Canby and the dwarf craftsmen in the Magic Machine Tool Shop, all of whom have accumulated extremely sufficient experience.
This laid a solid foundation for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's continued research and development in the future. In the future, as long as Xu Yi continues to invest manpower and material resources, the technology mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in magic machinery will only gradually improve.
What Xu Yi valued even more was that under his influence, the magicians and dwarf craftsmen who participated in the research and development gradually developed a systematic theory of magic machinery.
Xu Yi traveled from the earth. Of course we know the importance of theoretical foundations for industrial systems.
The magic industry that Sainz currently has on the continent can actually be regarded as the product of his efforts, and the foundation is not solid.
If one day Xu Yi cannot solve the problems encountered when developing magic machines, then it can be said that absolutely no one in this world can solve them.
Therefore, when Xu Yi participated in research and development, he would always instill his mechanical theoretical knowledge into others, clearly point out the key points of combining this knowledge with magic, and give a complete explanation.
All he did was hope for someone else. More qualified magic mechanical engineers can appear on the Sainz continent.
In addition to the busy and intense research and development work, although this period was also very busy, the happiest person was none other than Heinze.
Following the sales of more than 5,000 units of heating and cooling magic air conditioners in Bangta City and several nearby cities. As soon as the newly launched magic table lamp was launched, it once again set off a buying frenzy.
Unlike the heating and cooling magic air conditioners, which are priced at up to twenty-five gold coins and are mainly aimed at wealthy families, the magic table lamps are extremely exquisite in style and are even praised as works of art by many people. Each one is priced at only one gold coin and is aimed at... All families.
As for the price of a gold coin, most people who saw the appearance of this magic lamp on the four large billboards outside the city thought it was very reasonable.
Some of them even think that the price is too low, because in the eyes of these rich and stylish people, this magic table lamp is simply a work of art and cannot be priced as an ordinary commodity.
Besides, the magic crystal lamps that had appeared on the continent of Sainz before were not only far inferior in style to this magic desk lamp, but the effect was also much inferior.
Those magic crystal lamps are priced at hundreds of gold coins, so even if this magic table lamp may not reach such an exaggerated price, it should be sold for at least dozens of gold coins, right
Of course, some people think the price is low, while others think it is high.
Of course, some people whose families are not rich feel that a gold coin is still a big expense. Although this magic lamp looks really good, people can't help but want to buy it, but when they think of taking out a gold coin to buy a mere lamp, they still feel uncomfortable. Undecided.
But later, "Bangta Daily" reported on the newly launched magic desk lamp of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as usual, but used data to conduct actual analysis and changed these people's minds.
In an average family, if candles or oil lamps are used as night lighting, then each room will cost between five and ten copper coins per night, and the cost per month will be about two to three silver coins. .
And if you use a magic desk lamp, it will only consume one low-level magic crystal in a month, and it will consume no more than sixty copper coins.
This number is not obvious when viewed in one month or two months, but if calculated in years, using a magic desk lamp can save more than 20 silver coins every year compared to using candles or oil lamps.
It only takes four years to save a magic desk lamp.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce provides a three-year warranty for the newly launched magic table lamp, which means that if there is any non-human damage to the magic table lamp within three years, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will promise to repair it.
In other words, if you buy a magic desk lamp, you don’t have to worry about it for at least three years.
If you look at it this way. It's obvious that buying a magic table lamp is much more cost-effective than continuing to use candles and oil lamps.
What's more, whether you use candles or oil lamps, they will produce odor and oil fumes, which are not good for the human body. The magic desk lamp uses a magic circle to produce light and does not produce any oil fumes. It will not cause any harm to human body.
And the light of the magic desk lamp is much brighter than candles and oil lamps. A candle and an oil lamp can only illuminate a space of less than three square meters, and if you choose a magic table lamp. But it can light up every corner of the room!
As soon as this report in "Banta Daily" was published, people who were originally hesitant about buying a magic table lamp immediately put aside their hesitations and decided to buy it.
So the Magic Table Lamp was launched for just one week and already sold a total of 20,000 units!
This is just the sales in a small city like Bangta City!
And coupled with the orders that have been signed in Bangta City. This number even reached the terrifying over 40,000!
You know, the total population in and outside Bangta City is less than 50,000, which is equivalent to almost one person per person in Bangta City!
Of course, the main reason is that many slightly more generous families not only buy one magic table lamp, but also buy several more for common use in several rooms.
In addition to Bangta City, merchants in several surrounding cities who have long had cooperative relationships with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were naturally not to be outdone and also placed a large number of orders.
If all the orders currently held by Heinze in other cities are added together. The total number has even exceeded 50,000!
To sum up, in this week alone, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has earned a huge income of nearly 100,000 gold coins just by relying on this small magic lamp.
Each magic lamp costs one gold coin. The cost is only a mere thirty silver coins.
After all the calculations, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's net profit from the magic table lamp was actually close to 70,000 gold coins!
And this is only within a week. As time goes by, with the current popularity of the magic table lamp, this sales volume will increase greatly.
According to Xu Yi's estimate... No, Xu Yi couldn't make a correct estimate of the sales volume at all, because even he didn't expect that this magic table lamp would be so popular.
It's no wonder that although Heinze is extremely busy every day, he always smiles from ear to ear.
Before this, although Heinze thought that the magic lamp developed by Xu Yixin was indeed very beautiful and should sell well, he never expected that the sales volume of the magic desk lamp would be so terrifying.
As a veteran grocer in Bangta City, he couldn't understand why people in Bangta City would rush like crazy to buy such a mere lamp that could only be used for lighting.
"It's very simple, because people have a herd mentality. The more people buy, the more people want to buy, otherwise, they will appear to be out of touch with the crowd." Sevigny held a magic lamp in his hand and looked at it carefully After a while, he couldn't help but admired: "I have to say, this magic lamp is so beautiful. No wonder many masters in Bangta City called it an excellent work of art. Even at yesterday's banquet, several people The famous art master in Bangta City scolded you and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in front of Count Satsuma."
Xu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Why did you scold me?"
Sevini tilted his head and thought for a while, then chuckled and said: "Those masters think that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually mass-produced such a nearly perfect work of art as a commodity and sold it in large quantities, and allowed such a precious treasure to become widespread. It’s everywhere, it’s a blasphemy to art!”
Xu Yi shrugged: "Art does not mean being separated from the public. These masters are too paranoid."
"No, they are not paranoid, but they have always believed that art is elegant and should be separated from the general public and can only be appreciated by a small group of elegant people. What your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has done has just shattered their There is a sense of superiority, no wonder they become angry." At this point, a slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of Sevini's mouth. "Actually, if this magic table lamp wasn't so beautiful and artistic that people couldn't deny it, I'm afraid those masters would pretend to be dismissive of it even if they admitted it in their hearts."
Xu Yi didn't expect that Sevigny would give such unkind comments to those masters, because no matter from which point of view, Sevigny should be more than just an ordinary Agriculture Department official, and should have a background of Extraordinary, he belongs to the elegant circle mentioned by those masters.
"By the way, Xu Yi, the person who designed this magic table lamp shouldn't be from your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? Where did you find such a master with such profound skills?" Sevini suddenly asked: "Other than that Outside, the paintings on the four signs outside the city were also painted by this master, right? I can see that the magic lamp on that painting is exactly the same style and design as the one I have, and should be by the same person. hand."
Xu Yi nodded: "It is indeed the same person, and he is not from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. But if you want to ask who it is... then I can only apologize."
"Can't you say it? That's a pity. Although I don't like those so-called masters, I still agree with their evaluation. The artistic value contained in that painting is much higher than that of this magic lamp. It's almost The masters unanimously commented that just relying on that painting is enough to rank this person among the masters of painting." Sevigny suddenly smiled. "Of course, in my opinion, the reason why that painting is so outstanding and the effect is so good is that, in addition to the magic lamp, the intoxicatingly beautiful girl on it is also a key reason. I heard that the girl is called Si Tire, the granddaughter of the great magician Camilla? "
Xu Yi glanced at Sevini in surprise: "You actually even heard about this?"
"This is not something that is difficult to find out. When I inquired accidentally last time, I found out that Steele is so famous in Bonta City. But if you think about it carefully, this is also a normal thing. She looks so good. She’s so beautiful, and she keeps appearing on the billboards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It’s hard not to be famous.” Sevini rolled his eyes and asked again; “But what I’m more interested in than this is that I heard about Steve. Is your relationship unusual?"
Xu Yi's mind drifted to Steele's weird look that night after hearing Yanis' answer. He laughed twice and said: "Miss Sevigny, you came to see me today because you have other important things to discuss." Right?"
Sevini pursed his lips and smiled, but did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he paused and said seriously to Xu Yi: "President Xu, I came to you today to inform you of bad news."
