More than half a month has passed since the New Year, and the noisy Bangta City has gradually returned to its usual scene from the hustle and bustle during the New Year.
The factory of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the western suburbs also started to operate again as early as a week ago and returned to a lively and intense working state.
Heinze pushed open the door of the office and saw Xu Yizheng standing in front of a wall in the office, thinking about something in front of a map of the Lampali Kingdom hanging on the wall.
Xu Yi asked for this map from the city lord some time ago. He seemed to like this map very much and would look at it like this for a while every day.
Heinze discovered that the map had changed a little bit today.
When he first hung up the map, Xu Yi painted a ball of fiery red a little west of Bangta City.
When Heinze asked why he did this, Xu Yi told him that it represented that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce was here, so it was painted in red to represent that the flames of the magic industry were ignited here.
And now Heinze discovered that Xu Yi also painted a group of fiery red on the south side of Kalma City not far to the upper right of Bangta City on the map. The area was much larger than the group outside Bangta City.
Heinze glanced at the extra red mass, smiled and asked Xu Yi, "What? Has it been negotiated?"
Xu Yi nodded: "Well, we just talked with the representative of Count Anaris and reached an agreement on renting land in Kalma. The next step is for our Chamber of Commerce to send people to conduct on-site inspections and finalize it. According to the arrangement With Count Narris paying attention to this matter, I think it should go smoothly. By the way, Count Annaris' representative just invited me to go to Kalma City for an on-site inspection as soon as possible. I told him that I would arrange a time to go there within a week. Kalma City is very close to Bangta, and it won’t take much time to go back and forth, but it will always take a lot of time to inspect, so you and Canby must make preparations.”
Seeing Heinze nodding in agreement, Xu Yi sighed again, pointed at the extra red ball on the map and said: "But there is still a very important issue before us. Invest and build a factory in Kalma City. It's not difficult. As long as you invest enough money, the planned factory can be easily established under the care of Count Anaris. But the problem is that we have no way to send the corresponding people to manage it. It is said that the Chamber of Commerce has opened a new market. As the president, I should take the lead, but now there are a large number of orders for farmland magic machinery from the Agriculture Department that I have to keep an eye on. There are still many things that I can only deal with, and I can't get away. I don’t feel at ease if I find someone else, it’s really difficult.”
A look of hesitation flashed across Heinze's face, he paused, and suddenly said: "Let me go."
Xu Yi looked at him in shock: "Are you going?"
"Yes." Heinze nodded vigorously. "Xu Yi, I've thought about it. The Chamber of Commerce has more and more things to deal with now. We can't always let you, the president, handle it personally. Sooner or later, you will be too busy. As the vice president, I have to do it no matter what. Let me share some of the responsibility for you. So let me be responsible for the investment and construction of the factory in Kalma City. "What do you think?"
Xu Yi looked at Heinze thoughtfully for a while, then smiled and said: "You have managed the household magic machinery production workshop so well. You have already shared a lot of work. But since you are willing to take on more work, of course I strongly welcome it. But Heinze, haven't you always told me that you would like to spend your whole life peacefully in Bangta City and not want to go anywhere else? Why did you suddenly..."
"These days, I have been thinking about what you said on New Year's Eve. Every time I think of what you said about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which has opened factories all over the continent, and our Xinfei brand can be seen everywhere. I feel very excited. I want to do something about this idea. Xu Yi, I know that I am not a forward-looking person like you, so I can't help you with the decision-making of the Chamber of Commerce. What I can do and be good at are some trivial things. I think there won't be any problems when I go to Kalma City to invest and build a factory. The main thing is that I need someone to do these trivial things. job. I think I’m quite suitable for it, what do you think, Xu Yi?”
"I also think you are quite suitable." Xu Yi couldn't help but smile. "But Heinze, you are mistaken. Although these tasks are indeed trivial, they are also very important. If these actual trivial matters are not handled well, then the development of our chamber of commerce will be based on empty talk. You can I'm happy to step forward and help me share these things. But Heinze, if you leave, who will leave the workshop to you?"
"Don't worry about this. Do you remember the worker named Ancato I mentioned to you last time?"
"Ankato?" Xu Yi thought for a while and said suddenly: "Is it the worker who took the initiative to deal with the conflict between the workers last time?"
"Yes, that's him." Heinze nodded and said with an expression of appreciation on his face: "I have observed this guy for a while and found that he is down-to-earth and has a flexible mind. He also has some prestige among the workers, so I promoted him to team leader more than a month ago to assist me in workshop management. Now after this period of inspection, I think he is very good. If I leave, you can promote him to deputy workshop supervisor, who will be mainly responsible. I think he should be able to handle the entire production work in the workshop.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "It seems that you are very satisfied with this Ankato. Well, since you personally recommended it, then he has been chosen. When you go back, reveal it to him and let him prepare in advance."
"Don't worry. I know how to do it."
Now that Heinze had volunteered, Xu Yi simply waved his hand and left all the investment and construction of factories in Kalmar City to Heinze.
In fact, compared to Xu Yi, Heinze is much older after all, and he is more sophisticated than Xu Yi in terms of human relations. If he is asked to handle such specific matters, the effect may be better than Xu Yi's.
However, through this incident, Xu Yi discovered an old problem of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is the shortage of talents.
Although Heinze discovered leadership talents like Ancato among the workers this time, Xu Yi predicted that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would develop at a rapid pace in the future, and it would be impossible to keep up with the demand just by discovering talents from within. .
Therefore, Xu Yi added the recruitment of management talents to the recruitment process carried out by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to expand production.
Of course, talents don't appear that easily, so Xu Yi can only wait slowly.
However, the production work of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not allow any waiting at all.
After the construction started in the New Year, the completed new workshop was officially put into use. After the dwarves of the Magic Machine Tool Workshop moved into the new workshop that was more than ten times larger and brighter, their enthusiasm for work seemed to increase.
In just one week, the Magic Machine Tool Workshop completed the production of 500 small magic harvesters.
According to this progress, it will probably take less than two months to complete the first batch of 3,000 farmland magic machinery orders from the Department of Agriculture.
Of course, the reason for such terrifying speed is that Canby and other dwarves had completed the research and development of the magic forging machine a few years ago.
Now a whole machine tool production line for producing small magic harvesters has been arranged in the new workshop. The production of this small magic harvester does not have to be made by dwarves as before, and the efficiency has naturally been greatly improved.
I saw pieces of iron plates being cut, punched, and polished into appropriate shapes under the action of the magic forging machine, and then flexibly assembled by the dwarves into small magic harvesters. I had just arrived in Bangta City in the morning. Sevini, who came to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce factory, was very satisfied. He couldn't help but nod in admiration and said to Xu Yi: "President Xu, to be honest, my confidence in you was not sufficient before. Because I came to Bangta City Finally, I saw with my own eyes that the efficiency of your chamber of commerce in producing farmland magic machinery is not very high, so I am very doubtful about whether your chamber of commerce can complete the order. You said before that as long as the magic forging machine tool is developed, the efficiency will be greatly improved. I am still very doubtful because. Before seeing these magic forging machines, I couldn’t imagine what kind of tools could suddenly increase workers’ productivity by ten or even dozens of times.”
"So what happens now that you see it?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
"I'm... shocked. Yes, I'm shocked." Sevigny said with emotion. "I didn't expect that these magic forging machines could be so powerful. You see, it may take a blacksmith a whole afternoon to make an iron plate into the right shape purely manually. However, using these magic forgings It’s really eye-opening for me that machine tools can be used in just a blink of an eye.”
Xu Yi laughed, came to the pile of iron plates that had been stamped and stacked, scratched the edges with his fingers, and said to Sevigny: "Miss Sevigny, efficiency is only one of them, and the other more important point is It's a standard. You see, almost every piece of these iron plates has the same shape, with almost no difference. If it were made by blacksmiths, it would never be as neat as this. And this difference is whether it can be done. The biggest difference is in large-scale and streamlined production.”
Sevini frowned slightly, looked at Xu Yi, and said with some confusion: "President Xu, these things you said... I actually don't understand many of them. Can you explain it to me specifically?"
"Of course there is no problem with this. But Miss Sevigny, if you want to learn this knowledge, you need to pay tuition. What are you going to use to pay for it?" Xu Yi joked.
"Tuition?" Sevini showed a sly smile. "President Xu, there is good news about renting land. I wonder if it will be enough to pay for the tuition?"
