Freya indeed had so much fun in the Forest of Falling Rain that when Xu Yi appeared in front of her to pick her up, she even cried and refused to leave.
After Xu Yi and Yanis promised many times that they would often bring her to play in the future, Freya reluctantly agreed to go with Xu Yi.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly at Elder Elusia: "I don't think you need to worry about Freya's relationship with you, Elder. Instead, I should worry about whether Freya will be more partial to the elves when she grows up."
Elder Elusia smiled slightly: "Children are the most innocent. Whoever treats her well will be kind to her. But when she grows up, it will be different. After all, Freya is a human being, and she will be kind to anyone who treats her well. She will consider issues from a human perspective, so President Xu doesn’t have to worry. I just hope that she can treat us elves as equals like you, President Xu.”
"Don't worry, she is my daughter." Xu Yi responded with a smile.
This time when he came to the Forest of Falling Rain, in addition to picking up Freya, Xu Yi also had another task, which was to discuss the new cooperation project between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Yege Tribe with Elder Elushia.
The Yege tribe has made new breakthroughs in their research on plastic processing. They are now able to produce a new type of plastic product with extremely high strength and hardness. At the same time, due to the wonderful effect of the elves' magic, this new material also has a certain degree of durability. The high-temperature performance can even replace the role of steel to a certain extent, so it was named "tempered plastic" by Xu Yi.
This kind of tempered plastic can be used on most of the magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Replace certain parts.
Not only can it reduce the cost of these magic machines. It can also reduce the weight of these magical machines. Reduce some energy consumption.
Take the simplest magic fan as an example. Now, in addition to the key core components inlaid with the magic array, the rest can even be made of a large amount of ordinary plastic and a part of tempered plastic. Therefore, the weight of the magic fan can be reduced by three By as much as one-third, the cost can be reduced from about one gold coin to about eighty silver coins.
Although it doesn't seem like much, just think about it. In the summer just passed, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold a total of more than 700,000 magic fans in various countries. You can know that just relying on this change of material can save the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a full hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
And because of the super plasticity of tempered plastic, the appearance of magic fans can become more diverse. By next summer, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be able to launch more types of magic fans, which will naturally become more popular.
The discussion between Xu Yi and Elder Elusia mainly focused on this tempered plastic cooperation project.
According to statistics compiled by Kennard, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has initially proposed processing requirements for approximately 300,000 tons and as many as 76 types of tempered plastic parts.
The problem is that with the current production capacity of Yege Plastic Processing Plant, it can even meet the general plastic needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce. It is already very reluctant, and it is simply impossible to spare enough manpower to complete such a huge tempered plastic processing order proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi was naturally aware of this situation. So this time I came to discuss with Elder Elusia. In addition to discussing this cooperation project, there is another important thing, which is to help Yege Plastic Processing Factory increase its production capacity.
Although Yege Plastic Processing Factory was previously mixed with other factories of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and learned part of the management model of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's subordinate factories, thus greatly improving production efficiency, in Xu Yi's view, it is still far from enough. .
"Elder Elusia, according to my observation, just through the management level, Yege Plastic Processing Factory can increase the production efficiency by at least 30% or more. If you are willing to strengthen the management of the factory, let the elven brothers If the sisters work harder, I think the benefits gained by the Yege tribe will be much higher than they are now," Xu Yi said sincerely.
Elder Elusia nodded lightly: "I understand. But President Xu, the nature of our elves is to pursue freedom. In fact, the current management in plastic processing plants has made many people feel that their nature has been suppressed. If it is further strengthened, , I think it will be intolerable to many tribesmen.”
Xu Yi said in astonishment: "Is this unbearable? Compared with the work intensity of the workers in the factories affiliated to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Yege Plastic Processing Factory is already a lot worse."
"There is no way, this is the nature of our elves. Although I have forced them to change a lot, it is difficult to suppress the nature of the people. President Xu, the reason why I chose to cooperate with your chamber of commerce to open this plastic processing factory is In order to allow the tribesmen to live more happily, but if the tribesmen live a depressed life because of this factory, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?" Elder Elusia asked in return.
Xu Yi shook his head, a little helpless.
As a human, it was difficult for him to understand the so-called free nature of the elves.
But since Elder Elushia has officially explained this problem to him, it proves that this problem is actually quite serious.
If you continue to force me, you might actually get into trouble.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi suggested: "Then let's do it. Elder Elusia, we still choose to strengthen the management of Yege Plastic Processing Factory, but it is not mandatory, but like the factories affiliated to our Chamber of Commerce, Remuneration is determined based on work performance. If you are willing to accept high-intensity work, you will work more, and you will receive more rewards accordingly. If you are not willing, it doesn't matter, but the reward will be relatively less. What do you think? "
Elder Elusia frowned slightly: "But all the profits from this factory are currently jointly managed and distributed by the clan members, and there is no difference in how much the reward is."
"ah?"
After cooperating with the Yege tribe for so long, this is the first time Xu Yi knows about the profit sharing model of the Yege Plastic Processing Factory.
After working on it for a long time, all the profits from the Yege plastic processing factory were publicly owned by the Yege tribe. No wonder the elves in the factory were not very interested in work.
This big pot rice model. It certainly won't inspire any enthusiasm.
"This won't work." Xu Yi shook his head. "Elder Elusia. With all due respect, your distribution model is unreasonable. If you want the Yege Plastic Processing Factory to generate better profits and the people of your tribe to live a better life, please follow my advice. , cancel the current distribution model, and instead give each clan member corresponding remuneration like the factories affiliated to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that they can become active. "
Elder Elushia did not object, but pondered for a moment. Nodding lightly: "Actually, I have already considered this issue and have always wanted to discuss it with you, President Xu. Since you, President Xu, now think there is something wrong with this method, I can try to correct it."
"It must be done as soon as possible." Xu Yi reminded immediately.
Based on Xu Yi's understanding of the elves, the "give it a try" that Elder Elushia said might take a year or two.
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Yi's urging, Elder Elusia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will try to make corresponding changes within half a year."
Xu Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Half a year is too long. In this way, Elder Elusia, if you believe me. I will send several managers from the Chamber of Commerce to make a new one for your Yege Plastic Processing Factory. Model reform. What do you think?”
Elder Elusia thought carefully for a while and nodded slowly: "Okay."
Seeing Elder Elusia agree, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The production capacity of the Yege Plastic Processing Factory is related to a large number of practical interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and is also related to the future development of the Yege Tribe, as well as the future relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Yege Tribe. It is neither allowed nor seriously considered.
Moreover, the plastic product-related industries controlled by the Yege tribe also occupy an extremely important position in the entire industrial system in Xu Yi's mind, and Xu Yi cannot afford to miss it.
To improve the production capacity of Yege Plastic Processing Plant, in addition to strengthening the management of software improvements, there are also two hardware improvements.
First, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce develops new magic plastic processing machinery for Yege Plastic Processing Factory to improve production efficiency.
For example, in the production line used by Yege Plastic Processing Factory to produce ordinary plastics, the main device is a magic plastic hardening tank that can hold two tons of plastic solvent.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute and several elven magicians from the Yege tribe jointly researched and improved the elven-specific magic circle, which is the most important for processing plastics. Together with the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center, they successfully developed a machine that can accommodate processing of five tons. The next generation of magic plastic hardening jars for plastic solvents.
This alone has more than doubled the production efficiency of ordinary plastics.
Coupled with the improvement of other related magic processing machinery, the production efficiency of Yege Plastic Processing Factory is bound to be greatly improved in terms of mechanical hardware.
Another method is to promote personnel.
Although the total number of elves in the Yege tribe has been growing continuously in the past few years, which makes Elder Elusia extremely satisfied, at the rate of population growth of the elves, it has only increased by less than ten people in the past few years. The total population so far is only a little over a thousand, which is extremely limited.
Therefore, Xu Yi suggested to Elder Elusia that they could learn from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and recruit some people from outside the Yege tribe to work in the plastic processing factory to increase production capacity.
Or simply adopt a joint venture model like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and directly invest in the construction of new plastic processing plants elsewhere, leaving the tedious processes in plastic processing to others, and you only need to master the core technologies.
Elder Elusia was very moved by Xu Yi's proposal and claimed that she would seriously consider it.
Of course, according to the custom of the elves, Elder Elushia's so-called "think about it" may take at least half a year.
Xu Yi couldn't do anything about this.
After the preliminary discussions, it was already dark.
Xu Yi did not refuse Elder Elusia's offer to stay, and decided to spend one night in the Yege tribe before leaving.
Everything was normal at first, but after dinner, Elder Elusia suddenly pulled Xu Yi aside and quietly handed him a thin book.
Seeing the slightly strange expression on Elder Elusia's face, Xu Yi took the book in confusion.
Looking down, Xu Yi almost fell over.
On the cover of this book, the title was originally written in Elf characters that Xu Yi didn't recognize at all, but now it was re-marked next to the title in the common language of Sainz Continent.
The meaning of this mark naturally represents the name of the book.
As for the name... it's called "Research on the Specific Details of the Combination of Elves and Humans."
If combined with the various realistic and detailed picture depictions and text descriptions that you see after opening the book, this book is simply an out-and-out elf version of the Little Yellow Book... (To be continued...)
