The Angola dwarf tribe is less than a hundred kilometers away from the Noma dwarf tribe led by Chief Shluka. After receiving the news that Xu Yi had arrived, representatives of the Angola dwarf tribe arrived early the next morning.
To Xu Yi's surprise, the leading representative turned out to be Chief Mento of the Angola dwarf tribe, and the two representatives next to Chief Mento were also the two most respected elders in the Angola tribe.
Seeing this lineup, Xu Yi naturally knew that the Angolan tribe attached great importance to this negotiation, so he became more cautious.
However, the negotiation process was even more unexpected.
The entire negotiation process was actually very simple. After Xu Yi proposed the conditions that he had prepared to the Mento clan leader and the two elders, the three of them showed unabashed excitement and almost thought nothing of it. He agreed without thinking, causing Xu Yi to instantly have the illusion that he must have set the conditions too well.
However, this condition was proposed by Xu Yi based on the treatment originally proposed to the Shluka clan leader. Apart from the promise to build a road from here to the Angola tribe, there were no more preferential conditions.
This is actually Xu Yi's view of the dwarves with a human heart. Dwarves are a very honest and even honest race, and their way of dealing with things is very different from humans.
Xu Yi used human negotiations as an inference and felt that Chief Mento would probably bargain, and then the two sides would talk for a while before the negotiation was successful.
Who knew that Patriarch Mento and the two elders were very satisfied with this condition and did not even think about bargaining.
Of course, there is a reason why Chief Mento and the two elders agreed so readily.
The Angola tribe is not far away from here. As dwarf brothers of the same tribe, the two sides naturally have frequent exchanges, so they know the situation of the Noma tribe very well.
In the past, the Noma tribe and the Angola tribe were brothers, and the living conditions of both sides were not very good.
But since a human came here more than two months ago, the dwarves of the Angola tribe discovered that the living conditions of the dwarves of the Noma tribe had suddenly improved.
Originally, because Xu Yi took away a hundred strong dwarves from the Noma tribe, the dwarves of the Angola tribe thought that the Noma tribe could not survive, so they finally decided to sell their brothers to humans to make cattle for them. Horse, but found that this was not the case at all.
From what we have learned, we know that the dwarves who were taken away are now working in human factories. Not only do they eat well and sleep well, they also receive a reward of up to eight gold coins every month!
What’s more, there’s even wine to drink in the factory! It’s also the precious wine from Sage Manor!
Seeing helplessly that the compatriots of the Noma tribe are gradually getting rid of their poverty-stricken life. Not only do they have enough food, but also brand-new clothes, and even the tribal houses have been renovated. Naturally, the dwarves of the Angola tribe are a little restless. Living.
After learning that all these changes were due to the human being named Xu Yi, Patriarch Mengtu had the idea of meeting Xu Yi.
If this human being named Xu Yi can help the Angola tribe like he helped the Noma tribe and change the lives of the tribesmen, then he, the patriarch, will truly make a difference.
Unexpectedly, Shluka came to the door before Chief Mengtu could make up his mind and put Xu Yi's needs straight to the point.
When he heard that Xu Yi wanted to recruit a group of dwarf craftsmen, Chief Mento agreed instantly without even thinking about it.
Compared with the Noma tribe, the Angola tribe is still larger, with a total population of almost twice that of the Noma tribe.
The Noma tribe can provide one hundred dwarf craftsmen, but the Angora tribe can provide two hundred.
Even the leader of the Mento tribe gritted his teeth and directly proposed to Xu Yi that he could provide three hundred adult tribesmen to work in the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The leader of the Shluka tribe on the side was suddenly startled: "Monto, are you crazy? How many adults are there in your tribe in total? You let 300 people leave the tribe in one breath. What will happen to the life of the tribe in the future?"
Chief Mengtuo and the two elders looked at each other and laughed: "No problem, it's not like all the clansmen left in the clan can't move. It'll be a little harder at most. Besides, President Xu has just negotiated with us. As long as the clan members work in the factory for a period of time, the wages will be relaxed a lot, don’t you think so, President Xu? "
Xu Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Clan Chief Mento, please rest assured that our New Flying Chamber of Commerce will cooperate happily with the dwarves and will never default on remuneration. But what Chief Shluka said just now is very reasonable. Chief Mengtu, if you If you send three hundred people in one breath, the life in the tribe will definitely be greatly affected..."
Seeing that Xu Yi seemed to refuse, Chief Mengtuo immediately waved his hand anxiously: "No, no, no, no, no problem. Really, no problem! I know the situation in the tribe much better than you, President Xu, even if There’s no problem sending away three hundred people.”
Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of Chief Mengtuo and the two elders, Xu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Last time when he and Master Ranu came to the Noma tribe to discuss with the Shluka patriarch, he had already discovered that the living conditions of the dwarves were extremely poor. As a result, the Shluka patriarch was easily moved by the five hundred gold coins promised by Xu Yi. Now Judging from the reactions of Chief Monto and these two elders, I am afraid that this is not just a problem for the Norma tribe, but that all dwarves are facing such a difficult situation.
"Chief Mento, don't be impatient, listen to me." Xu Yi said slowly: "Actually, I have other considerations. Although our Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a large number of outstanding dwarf craftsmen to help complete the work, if we accept three hundred in one go With the current capabilities of our Chamber of Commerce, it may be difficult to arrange dwarves. For the time being, we can only arrange about a hundred dwarves."
"Only a hundred? That's too few..." Chief Mento and the two elders immediately showed disappointment.
"Listen to me." Xu Yi smiled and continued: "In addition to these one hundred dwarf craftsmen who are directly employed by the factories affiliated to our chamber of commerce, I also need to hire a group of dwarf craftsmen who are more experienced in smelting. Come to conduct material research, I wonder if Patriarch Mento is interested in this? "
"Material research? What is that?" Patriarch Mento and the two elders both looked confused.
Xu Yi glanced at the Shluka clan leader. The Shluka clan leader immediately understood, coughed lightly, and began to explain to the three of them.
After half an hour, Chief Mengtuo and the two elders showed expressions of sudden realization.
"So... what kind of materials research is this, just constant experimentation with iron-making methods?" asked the leader of the Mento clan.
"That's probably what it means. Of course, there will be many more detailed requirements." Xu Yi nodded.
Chief Mento thought for a moment and then asked: "President Xu, do you mean that you want the tribesmen from our tribe to help your New Flying Chamber of Commerce complete this... material research just like the dwarf brothers here?"
"Yes. Material research requires a lot of experiments. Although Chief Shluka has some manpower here, I think it is far from enough, so I want to find some other dwarf brothers to help complete these studies. I don't know about Monto Chief, are you interested?"
Chief Mento frowned and asked, "But what benefit can this thing... bring to our tribe?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that it would be a waste of time and energy to explain to them the value of mastering a scientific research achievement that was definitely the top in Sainz continent, so he slapped them bluntly.
"Any research result that I recognize will be rewarded with five hundred gold coins."
"Five hundred gold coins?!" Chief Mento and the two elders shrank their eyes, their faces full of shock.
When I was discussing with Xu Yi just now about the remuneration for clan members to work at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it was only eight gold coins a month. Although there were many people, the amount was not large, and it didn't sound like anything special.
Now Xu Yi actually asked for five hundred gold coins in one mouthful, which shocked the three dwarves.
Chief Mento couldn't help but glance at Chief Shluka next to him. His eyes fell on Chief Shluka's luxurious cloth that was obviously woven by a high-level human tailor, and he revealed a look of envy.
This Shluka was only wearing tattered linen clothes when I saw him three months ago, but now he has been able to change into such beautiful clothes. It is obviously the change brought about by working with the human businessman in front of him. .
Thinking of the amazing changes he saw along the way when he entered the Noma tribe, Chief Mengtuo immediately made up his mind and nodded vigorously to Xu Yi.
"Okay! It's settled!"
Xu Yi immediately showed a sincere smile and held the hands of Patriarch Mento tightly.
In fact, although Chief Mengtu was excited about the large reward promised by Xu Yi, Xu Yi himself was also very excited.
This visit to the dwarf tribe was a great harvest. It not only temporarily solved the increasingly serious personnel problem, but also unexpectedly discovered a major breakthrough in materials research.
If the dwarves of the Angora tribe can successfully develop several new alloys like the dwarves of Mulu, it will be of great help to Xu Yi's plan to promote the industrialization process of Sainz Continent.
In addition, Xu Yi also established a good relationship with the dwarves through contact with these two dwarf tribes.
Although the total number of dwarves on the Sainz continent is now small, they still have the largest number of senior craftsmen.
Maybe this has no big impact on other humans, but for Xu Yi, it is a huge wealth.
If he could completely grasp this wealth in his hands, Xu Yi would naturally feel much more confident.
