Xu Yi took Kennard to visit his first job. It was neither the magic array research and development at the Magic Research Institute nor the mechanical structure research and development in the magic machine tool workshop. It was also not the specific production in the factory. Instead, he took him to the countryside. Next to a large farmland.
This period of time happens to be the autumn harvest season, and Bangta City is no exception. As in previous years, the busy autumn harvest has begun.
However, it is different from previous years when the whole city mobilized during the autumn harvest and everyone had to be busy in the farmland. This year, the farmland magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been fully popularized in Bangta City, and because of the farmer support program, many ordinary farmers also have it. Some farmland magic machinery was purchased, so the autumn harvest tasks of all farmland in Bangta City were completed by farmland magic machinery. Not only did it save a lot of manpower, it did not delay any projects inside and outside the city, and the efficiency was much higher than in previous years.
This time Xu Yi brought Kennard to the territory of a baron in the north of the city. When the two of them arrived, there were already dozens of small magic harvesters in the farmland of the territory, each of which had chosen a piece of farmland to harvest quickly. .
Just by turning your head, you will find that a large piece of wheat is missing from the densely packed fields, and there are more bags of wheat beside the fields.
"Hey, Baron Nazir, from the looks of it, we should be able to finish the harvest today?" Xu Yi said hello to a middle-aged man in his forties standing by the field.
Baron Nazir turned around and saw that it was Xu Yi. His already smiling face immediately put on a brighter smile. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, it seems that there will be no problem after harvesting all today. Thanks to I need the help of these farmland magic machines from your Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, I may not be able to finish it all in one day even if I hire hundreds more people."
Xu Yi smiled slightly. He accepted Baron Nazir's compliments unceremoniously. He glanced at the magic harvesters that were busy in the farmland in the distance, and asked: "Is there anything wrong with these machines?"
"There has been no problem." Baron Nazir shook his head. "Besides, even if there is any small problem, now that President Cantona and his men are here, they can solve it themselves." After a pause, Baron Nazir asked strangely: "President Xu, what are you doing? Will you come to my place suddenly? And these two are..."
Seeing that Baron Nazir's eyes fell on Kennard and Sophia who were looking at the situation in the farmland, Xu Yi introduced: "These two are friends of Baron Hainas. This time they came from Anvilmar City. I came here to have fun. I came here to discuss something with President Cantona.”
"Is it related to the fact that he is taking people to other cities to assist in the autumn harvest?"
"Well, he has so many farmland magic machines going to such a far away city this time. There are a lot of things he needs to pay attention to. I have to remind him."
Baron Nazir couldn't help but said: "You can just send someone over to inform him of these matters. Why bother coming here yourself."
"There are a lot of things that need attention. I'm afraid I can't explain clearly by sending someone here." Xu Yi shook his head.
"Then there's no need for you to run over by yourself. Just inform him and ask him to come to you. You are the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You don't need to handle such a small matter yourself." Baron Nazir seemed to I don't agree with Xu Yi's approach.
Xu Yi shrugged and said with a smile: "Customers are gods. Since President Cantona and others have purchased the products of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, our chamber of commerce must provide services for them. No one is exempt from this. I am The same goes for the president.”
"Okay, President Xu, I have bought a lot of products from your Chamber of Commerce at home, so I am also your customer, that is, a god? In that case, can I call you to my home at any time? Providing services?" Baron Nazir smiled.
Of course, Xu Yi knew that Baron Nazir was joking, so he smiled slightly and replied: "It's a pity, Baron Nazr, our chamber of commerce provides graded after-sales services for products, and very few of them require me, the president, to personally take action. I don’t think you have that much chance.”
Baron Nazre laughed, pointed to a piece of farmland in front of him on the right and said: "Okay, you go find President Cantona. He is right there."
Xu Yi nodded, turned to Kennard and asked, "Do you want to see how I talked to President Cantona?"
Kennard shook his head: "What you are explaining should involve some secrets of your chamber of commerce, so I won't follow you."
"It's not a secret, but it's okay if you don't go with us. The fields are quite dirty. It doesn't matter to the two of us. It's not convenient for Miss Sophia to go down there." Xu Yi nodded and walked towards the place pointed by Baron Nazir just now.
After Xu Yi left, only Baron Nazir, Kennard, and Sophia were left in Tianbian.
Baron Nazir looked at the two of them curiously.
Xu Yi said that these two people were friends of Baron Heiners, but Baron Heiners was not here, so why did the two of them follow Xu Yi
Feeling Baron Nazir's gaze, Kennard withdrew his gaze from observing the work of the magic harvesters in the fields, smiled and nodded to Baron Nazir, briefly introduced himself, and then pointed to a farmer in the distance. Xu Yi, who was talking to the person, asked: "Your Excellency, Baron, does President Xu often handle these matters personally like this?"
Baron Nazir shook his head: "You heard what he said just now. There are not many things that need him to personally handle now. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has so many things to do now. If everything needs to be done by him personally, If you want to deal with it, even if you cut him into ten, it won’t be enough.”
Kennard nodded and asked: "Then can you tell me what does President Cantona do? Why does President Xu need to come in person to explain something to him this time?"
Baron Nazir glanced at Kennard strangely, not understanding why he was interested in these things, but after thinking about it, he still answered.
"Cantona... In fact, he was just an ordinary farmer in a village outside the city. After the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launched the farmer support plan last year, he participated in the plan and made a little money. Later, he united with a group of people who also Participating in this plan, farmers who own some magical farm machinery have formed a business association to help others harvest their fields.”
"Then Cantona has a lot of business acumen." Kennard praised.
"Hey, this guy is indeed very smart, unlike those ordinary farmers." Baron Nazir nodded. "As for why President Xu came to explain to him in person... I guess as President Xu just said, there are too many things that need to be paid attention to, and others may not be able to explain clearly. Besides, why did Cantona think of it? Going to other cities to help other cities harvest farmland is also President Xu’s suggestion, so of course President Xu should pay more attention to this matter.”
"Chairman Xu suggested that they take these farm magic machines to other cities to help complete the harvest?" Kennard was a little surprised. "I thought President Cantona came up with it himself. I actually admired him for having such a good idea."
Baron Nazre laughed: "I have said that Cantona was just an ordinary farmer before. It would be great for him to think of uniting a group of farmers to form such a chamber of commerce. How could he have thought so far ahead? Before he He just thought about doing these things in our city of Bangta and the surrounding cities of Kalma and Saltan. Later, President Xu reminded him that he should be able to receive more business if he went to farther cities, so he He will decide like this. In terms of long-term vision, how can he be as good as Chairman Xu?"
Kennard couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, Baron, you seem to have great respect for President Xu?"
"Of course." Baron Nazir said matter-of-factly. "It has only been a little more than a year since President Xu established the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but now it has developed into such a powerful chamber of commerce. This alone is very powerful. And it is also because of him. Our Bangta City Such huge changes have taken place in this year, and many people's lives have changed for the better because of him. If you ask me, I'm afraid it's not clear. If you ask the farmers in the countryside outside Bangta City, I guarantee that they will be better. I also admire President Xu. For example, if you ask Cantona, do you believe he can praise President Xu to the sky?"
Kennard nodded slightly, looked at Xu Yi who was still talking to Cantona in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought.
Even Sofia on the side couldn't help but look at Xu Yi a few more times, and then after just looking for a while, she snorted again, turned away and looked in another direction.
About twenty minutes later, Xu Yi came back.
After saying hello to Baron Nazir, he left with Kennard and Sophia, and then took a carriage to Sankiton Manor.
Just as Xu Yi's butt was touching the stool, several presidents of the small chamber of commerce in the Sanqidun Industrial Zone came to the door. They came to discuss with Xu Yi that they wanted to expand production and prepare to purchase a few more magic machine tools from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. things.
This is naturally not a difficult task. Xu Yi asked about their production and sales last month, and after knowing that they indeed had a large number of orders, he agreed.
However, Xu Yi refused the request of these presidents to produce one more kind of spare parts and ask the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to provide them with some corresponding magic machine tools and guide them on how to produce them.
"There is a saying in my hometown that you can bite off more than you can chew. In my opinion, although the quality of the parts you are currently producing is quite good and meets the usage standards, there is actually a lot of room for improvement. For example, although the bearing discs processed by President Bida are usable, the size of each round hole on the disc is not exactly the same. Last time we tested this, the biggest error was even. It reaches three millimeters," Xu Yi said seriously.
President Bida, who was named by Xu Yi, scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I will let the workers pay attention when I get back."
Xu Yi nodded: "Pay attention to improving the craftsmanship of the parts you produce. This is more important than thinking about producing one more kind of parts. You yourself should also be very clear that better quality parts will lead to more orders." Naturally, there will be more, and even the price can be increased accordingly. President Bida, if the bearing discs you produce and process can control the round hole error within one millimeter, then our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will, when purchasing, You can add one more silver coin to the original price for each item.”
President Bida's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"
Xu Yi looked at him, smiled, and didn't answer.
President Bidat immediately slapped himself hard in the mouth and spat: "Bah, President Xu, when have you ever spoken without saying anything? I was really talking nonsense. Okay, President Xu, since you agreed, then I will definitely study hard when I go back and control this error within one millimeter to satisfy you!”
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "I'm waiting for your good news."
Seeing that Xu Yi agreed to President Bida's condition, several other presidents of small chambers of commerce immediately refused to lag behind and made the same request to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi naturally does not reject anyone who comes.
As long as these small chambers of commerce can improve the craftsmanship of the parts they produce and process, they will never be stingy with such a small price increase.
More importantly, he hopes to create a competitive atmosphere among these small chambers of commerce, so that they can be urged to do their best to improve their craftsmanship.
For the industrial system, the process level of the parts processing industry is even as important as the material process.
Especially at this stage when high-precision CNC machine tools have not yet appeared. (To be continued...)
