As the scale of the factory expanded, Xu Yi naturally had to deal with more and more things. As a result, he spent more and more time in the factory. Later, he simply built another small building. as an office.
Xu Yi led the two girls Akali and Evita into the office, cleaned them first, and then poured a glass of water for them. Then he sat down and began to look at the two of them seriously.
The two girls should be about the same age as Steele. The girl named Akali seems more lively, while Evita is much quieter.
This can also be seen from their attire.
Although they are all wearing magic robes, the hem of Akali's magic robe is higher than her knees, completely exposing her two calves. It is obviously specially modified.
In addition, the magic robe on her body is also decorated with some small decorations, which makes the whole person brighter and more vivid.
On the contrary, the magic robe on Evita completely maintained the traditional style. It was quite satisfactory. The hem almost did not reach the heel, and there were no other modifications.
The only difference is probably a small light blue flower on her chest, which fully reflects the fact that Evita is still a girl after all.
While Xu Yi was looking at the two of them, Akali and Evita were also looking at him curiously.
In the letters Steele wrote to them, President Xu Yi was described many times.
According to Steele, this President Xu Yi should be a "somewhat handsome uncle". However, when the two of them met Xu Yi for the first time, they only saw a dusty guy with a dirty face. I can't see clearly, so how can I tell that he's handsome
However, when Xu Yi received them, he took the time to wash his face. After revealing his true face, the two of them agreed with Steele's evaluation.
Well... the first half of the review to be precise.
This Xu Yihui is indeed handsome, with regular features, raised eyebrows, clear eyes, and a straight nose. But he is still very young. He looks only a few years older than them. How does he look like an uncle
Compared with Akali who mainly focused on Xu Yi's appearance, Evita's attention was more focused on Xu Yi's movements.
Evita has always believed that what reflects a person's true character often comes from his subtle behaviors.
So from the first time she met Xu Yi, Evita was observing these. She wanted to judge what kind of person Xu Yi was by observing these subtle movements.
If it was as good as Steele said in her heart, then she would consider staying and working here.
Otherwise, even if Steele pulled them over, they would have no choice but to apologize.
The results of the observation made Evita very satisfied.
When they met for the first time just now, Xu Yi deliberately kept a little distance from the two of them because he was covered in dust to avoid dirtying them. This action alone made Evita have a good impression of him.
After arriving in this office, Xu Yi was not in a hurry to talk to the two of them. Instead, he went to another small room to clean himself and change clothes at the same time, which showed his respect for the two of them.
Later, when he brought the water to the two of them, Evita paid special attention to his fingers and found that not only did this man have long fingers, but his nails were also trimmed extremely neatly, with no trace of excess exposed between the nails. It was even cleaned very clean, which shows that he was very careful and thorough in the cleaning just now.
Because of these, Evita's evaluation of Xu Yi increased by another ten percent.
In addition, Evita was still observing Xu Yi's various actions.
The small movements that accompany a person's walking, bending, waving their arms, or even speaking often reveal the person's true character, which is difficult to conceal.
Through this period of observation, Evita initially judged that President Xu Yi should be a careful and cautious person, but at the same time have a cheerful and generous personality.
"No wonder he was able to successfully open a chamber of commerce and develop it so fast." Evita secretly admired it in her heart. "Steele admires him so much because he has many advantages."
"You two, can I ask you a question first?" Xu Yi suddenly said.
"Just ask, we will answer your questions." Akali said with a smile. "Of course, if Mr. President you ask some too personal questions, don't blame us for regretting it."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that Akali was really lively.
"This question is really a bit personal, because I want to ask, since you graduated from Lampali Royal Academy like Steele, so you should be regarded as one of the rare magic geniuses in the kingdom, why did you choose to work with me? Woolen cloth?"
"No, no, no, Chairman, are you mistaken? We just came to take a look, and we didn't say we would definitely stay and work." Akali waved her hands repeatedly.
Evita nudged Akali slightly, signaling her to calm down a little.
After all, they were invited to come this time, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would reimburse their travel expenses, food and accommodation expenses, so they had to be polite.
Xu Yi didn't mind at all. He laughed and continued: "Well, let me put it another way. Since you are here, you must be interested in the work here, right? What I am asking now is, what should I show? What kind of thing can keep you two here?"
"This is not easy. As long as you pay us thirty gold coins a month, we will definitely stay without saying anything." Akali replied carelessly.
Xu Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this. Steele is also currently a researcher at the institute. Her monthly remuneration is only fifteen gold coins. It is impossible for me to offer you double her high remuneration."
"President, please don't listen to her nonsense." Evita finally couldn't help but interjected. "Steele has made your conditions very clear in your letter. We are here this time just to see what kind of work we will be asked to do here. If we think the content of the work is suitable, then we should choose Stayed."
This time it was Akali who glared at Evita.
Why is this guy so low-key? Wouldn't he be at the mercy of this president for a while
"Work content? I happen to have a few drawings here. You can have a general understanding of the work by taking a look at it." Xu Yi bent down and took out a few drawings from the cabinet on his desk and handed them to the two of them.
Akali and Evita took several drawings out of curiosity, looked at them, and found that these drawings were filled with magic circles.
However, unlike the standard magic arrays they learned at Lampali Academy, these magic arrays are just rough compositions, and some requirements are marked next to the drawings.
For example, the drawing Evita was looking at was originally supposed to be a whirlwind circle, but there were three requirements on the drawing.
The first is to require this whirlwind array to reduce the speed of the whirlwind. The second is to require that this whirlwind array needs to be supported by magic crystals to ensure normal operation for at least ten hours. The third is to require that the wind rotation speed generated by this whirlwind array remains stable.
These three requirements seemed very simple at first glance, but when Evita thought about it carefully, she couldn't help but frown.
Changing the magic circle is not a difficult task. Evita felt that she could do any of the requirements, but the three requirements together made her feel very difficult.
"President, is Steele usually changing the magic circle based on these requirements?" Evita asked Xu Yi.
"Well, more or less. Of course, I usually make the request, and then the two of us work together to figure out how to make changes." Xu Yidao. "Look at these drawings and see if you have any suggestions for changes?"
Evita and Akali looked at each other, thinking that this should be a test for the two of them.
The two of them didn't hesitate, asked Xu Yi for pen and paper, and started studying the drawings.
Seeing the two people's concentration, Xu Yi smiled, filled the cups in front of them with water, then informed them and left the office, leaving this quiet space to the two of them who were immersed in thought.
Outside the office, a large number of buildings have been erected on the originally blank wasteland.
In addition to the magic fan production workshop that was first built, there is also a larger building made of stones.
This is the magic machine tool production and research workshop where those dwarf craftsmen usually work.
When he first established this workshop, Heinze was very puzzled because he had no idea about the term "magic machine tool" and had no idea what it did.
But when Xu Yi signed a contract with President Fasak some time ago and sold him five magic machine tools, Heinze immediately changed his attitude.
Because according to Xu Yi, the total cost of these five magic machine tools was only twenty-seven gold coins, but he sold it to President Fasak for a full two hundred gold coins!
The profit is actually as high as eight times!
What's more, the sale of these magic machine tools is just the beginning. In the future, whether it is repairing or replacing parts for the five machine tools, President Fasak can only solve it at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Even the training of personnel to control the machine tools will require the assistance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. .
And these things also require payment. As for the pricing... Even Heinze, who always felt that he was evil enough, felt that Xu Yi was too evil after reading the contract.
Xu Yi had only one sentence to explain this.
"There is no way, this is the power of monopoly."
However, even so, President Fasak still had a good conversation with Xu Yi, and even looked at his expression as if he had taken advantage of him.
So Heinze could only sigh in his heart that Xu Yi's talent for making money was beyond his reach.
Also because of the huge profits from the sale of the five magic machine tools, the magic machine tool production and research workshop suddenly became popular.
The dwarves who received praise and encouragement were all very enthusiastic during this period. In addition to eating and sleeping, they spent almost every day in this workshop, claiming to do their best to complete the tasks assigned by Xu Yi.
Of course, the most direct reason is Xu Yi's promise - to successfully develop a magic harvester, each person will be rewarded with a gold coin.
