Xu Yi left the research room of Camilla the Great Magician in disgrace.
When he saw the magic air conditioner just now, Xu Yi remembered that when he was studying the magic air conditioner, he had consulted the great magician Camilla several times and got a lot of suggestions on how to improve the frost-cold magic circle from him. If this is an extension, , inviting the Archmage Camilla to be your research consultant, then with the Archmage’s super magical strength, many problems can be easily solved.
When Xu Yi found the great magician Camilla, the discussion was quite harmonious at first. Even the great magician Camilla agreed to Xu Yi's request and could help him complete some magic that he could not complete with his magical strength. However, when Xu Yi proposed that he could pay some gold coins as a reward, the great magician Camilla suddenly changed his face, slammed the table angrily, pointed directly at the door and told Xu Yi to get out, without even giving him a chance to explain. he.
"Does this great magician Camilla have any grudge against Qian?" Xu Yi couldn't help but wonder.
Although he had long known that the great magician Camilla didn't like the combination of magic research and business, he never thought that he would dislike it to this extent.
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing with a sad face? Who owes you money?" A clear voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"No one owes me money. Besides, I'm only twenty-seven years old. Please don't always call me uncle." Xu Yi glared at Steele angrily.
One night passed, and there was no sign of the loss last night on Steele's face, and she had returned to the appearance of a young and energetic girl.
Of course, her weight loss was still obvious, but there was no way she could completely recover overnight.
"Who told you to always say that I am a child?" Steele snorted, looked at the great magician's exclusive research room behind Xu Yi, and asked in a low voice: "What? Did you make grandpa angry?"
Xu Yi depressedly told Steele about the situation he had just met, which caused her to laugh loudly without any scruples.
"Haha, you deserve it! You already knew that my grandfather didn't like this, but you still insisted on asking for the reward in front of him. Didn't you ask for it?"
"Oh, how did I know that he would hate him so much." Xu Yi sighed and couldn't help but ask: "Steele, what is the reason why the great magician is so opposed to it? There are obviously other great magicians. None of them will refuse.”
"Want to know?" Steele showed a sly smile. "You can't do it without paying a price."
Xu Yi shrugged and glanced at the sky outside the magic tower: "It's not time for dinner yet, how about I invite you out for afternoon tea?"
After ordering two cold drinks at a snack bar near the Magic Tower, Steele told Xu Yi the whole story.
It turns out that the great magician Camilla had brought several apprentices before, and had high hopes for two of them. He felt that as long as they worked hard, they would become powerful magicians sooner or later, and they might even surpass him.
But later on, none of these apprentices could withstand the temptation of money. They were hired by several large chambers of commerce at a young age with high salaries and became one of the guards of those chambers of commerce. From then on, they abandoned their magic research and did not return for so many years. No progress.
Archmage Camilla felt very sad about their situation, and at the same time hated the actions of those chambers of commerce. Over time, they gradually formed this attitude.
"Since grandpa saw your magic fan, he originally thought that your magic talent was also very outstanding and had great expectations for you. But in the end, you not only refused him to accept you as an apprentice, but also started your own chamber of commerce. Of course He was very disappointed. Let me tell you, if grandpa hadn't still had hope for you, and your magic power was indeed improving, he would have kicked you out of the magic tower long ago. How could he still let you in? You can see him at any time, and even help you solve magic problems? Now you come to discuss some business cooperation with him, do you think he can't be angry? So you really don't believe me when I say you deserve it."
Regarding Steele's final summary, Xu Yi could only smack his lips and had nothing to say.
"What a pity. I originally wanted to invite the Great Magician to be the chief researcher of our Chamber of Commerce. I even wanted to invite him to endorse our Chamber of Commerce's products. According to what you said, isn't it hopeless?" Xu I have no choice but to say so.
"Are you dreaming?" Steele glared at Xu Yi, and then asked curiously: "But what do you mean by chief researcher and endorsement? Why have I never heard of it?"
"The chief researcher... actually helps me do some research on magic arrays that are needed for magic machines. Because your grandfather is a great magician and the strongest, of course you can become the chief directly. Well, what the chief means is, That’s number one, boss, you should understand.”
"What about endorsement? This is the first time I've heard this word. What does it mean?"
"Endorsement... it's a bit complicated to say." Xu Yi sorted out the general situation of celebrity endorsements on the earth in his mind, thought for a while and replied: "The so-called endorsement means inviting someone to be the representative of our chamber of commerce for these products. Spokesperson. Specifically, this person can be used to replace the image of certain products, and this person will be the image representative of the product. Then when everyone sees this person, they will think of the product he endorses. The spokesperson should have a good image, and it is best to have a certain reputation. In this way, by knowing this person, everyone will indirectly know about the product, which is a combined promotional method. "
"Then if the endorsed products are not good, wouldn't it damage the image of this spokesperson?" Steele immediately asked.
Xu Yiyi was startled: "You reacted quickly enough. Yes, this is a means of combining each other. The product and the spokesperson have an impact on each other. Not only will problems with the product affect the image of the spokesperson, but problems with the spokesperson will also affect the image of the spokesperson. It will affect the product, so whether it is a spokesperson or the chamber of commerce that chooses a spokesperson, it will be carefully considered.”
"It's a good idea for you to choose my grandfather as your spokesperson." Steele snorted softly. "My grandfather is a great magician and is very famous in the entire Lampali Kingdom. If everyone knew that his old man suddenly endorsed something, they would definitely ask what it was. Besides, my grandfather has always been an upright person. , the image is so good.”
"That's why I thought of asking him to be the spokesperson." Xu Yi spread his hands and said regretfully: "But judging from the current attitude of the Great Magician, I'm afraid there is no need to mention this endorsement to him. He I definitely won’t agree.”
"He'll be damned if he agrees." Steele nodded. He glanced at Xu Yi and suddenly asked: "By the way, Xu Yi, since you asked someone else to endorse you, you must pay that spokesperson, right?"
"Of course, how can anyone work for nothing?"
"Then may I ask, how much remuneration are you prepared to pay?"
"This is not necessarily the case. It depends on who the spokesperson is. Generally speaking, the greater the reputation and the better the image, the higher the remuneration will be. If it is the Great Magician, I was originally going to give him a year The endorsement fee of one thousand gold coins…”
"One thousand gold coins?" Before Xu Yi could finish speaking, Steele's eyes widened and he shouted exaggeratedly. "So much? Just an endorsement?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Steele looked at Xu Yi with a strange face. "Hey, Xu Yi, you don't seem to have sold many of your magic fans. How could you give my grandfather a thousand gold coins with just one mouthful? Do you have that much money?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "You don't understand, right? This is called advertising investment, and it is a very cost-effective investment. These one thousand gold coins seem to be a lot, but if you consider the benefits brought by the Great Magician , In fact, it doesn’t matter at all.” At this point, Xu Yi couldn’t help but sigh again. "It's a pity that the great magician won't agree at all. What I say is in vain. By the way, Steele, are there any other great magicians you are familiar with? How about introducing them to me?"
Steele frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I know a few great magicians through my grandfather, but Xu Yi, I have to tell you the truth, I'm afraid these great magicians don't like your little family. If you’re from the Chamber of Commerce, just give up.”
"I think so." Xu Yi smiled mockingly. "My Chamber of Commerce has nothing now. It's normal for those distinguished great magicians to look down on it." After putting this matter aside, Xu Yi suddenly thought of another thing. "By the way, Steele, Vivian said that before you left, you asked her to tell me and asked me to come to you. You have something to talk to me about. What is it?"
"Well, there is indeed something wrong, but now I find that the matter seems to have been resolved." Steele smiled. "Originally, I wanted to ask you if you could find something for me to do. I'm very busy with my grandpa every day and it's not interesting, but you always look busy. Maybe you can give me something to do. Find something to do.”
Xu Yi looked at Steele seriously and wondered if this guy suddenly wanted to find something to do. Did he want to heal the wounds in his heart through work
"It's okay if you want to find something to do. For example, I just said that I wanted to invite your grandfather to be the chief researcher. In fact, it is because I plan to build a magic circle research laboratory exclusive to the Chamber of Commerce in the city. If you are interested, you can come here. Do research on magic circles and help me complete new products.”
"I am indeed interested in this job, and I was indeed planning to let you arrange this type of job for me. But after hearing what you just said, I feel that another job is more interesting." Steele He narrowed his big eyes and said with a smile.
"What job?"
Steele slowly sat up straight, showed a bright and sunny smile, slightly opened his two rows of silver teeth, and said softly: "Xu Yi, what do you think, let me be the spokesperson of your chamber of commerce?"
