Volume 1 Chapter 75 (1/2)

Invitation from the Business Union

After visiting the Angola Tribe, Xu Yi stayed for another half a day and gave some information on material research to chief Siluka and chief Monto before finally leaving.

Camby didn’t leave with him and chose to remain.

After chief Monto prepared the hundred dwarves, Camby would lead them back.

As for Xu Yi, naturally he needed to head back to Banta City first to prepare some things.

Because there was a road leading to the main road from Norma City, the travel schedule didn’t require an entire day’s travel like before. However Xu Yi left the Norma Tribe at noon and when he arrived in Banta City, it was already turning dark.

Even though it was a bit late, Xu Yi directly headed to the factory outside the city.

Although it was already under the cover of night, the two factories were brightly lit up and it was clear they were working overtime.

During this time, working overtime had already become a habit for the two workshops.

The dwarves in the magic machine workshop were all working hard on the agricultural magic machines the nobles had made orders on. As for the household magic machine workshop led by Heinz, they were all working until dark because of how popular the Magic Rice Cooker was.

Actually there were some interesting developments with the Magic Rice Cooker.

Xu Yi had designed the Magic Rice Cooker because of a sudden idea that had appeared in his mind, he didn’t think that much about it back then. When the Magic Rice Cooker was made, he found that there was a serious problem. It was that the staple food source around Banta City was grains and the bread made from those grains were the staple food around Banta City.

The Magic Rice Cooker’s abilities were very simple right now, it could only be used to cook rice and it couldn’t be used to cook bread at all. So unlike what Xu Yi had expected, the sales inside Banta City weren’t that high.

After realizing this problem, Xu Yi immediately changed his strategy. He marketed the Magic Rice Cooker to the surrounding cities, especially selling large amounts in Karma City that was famous for their rice paddies.

This chance in their plan was very appropriate. After seeing how convenient it was to cook rice with the Magic Rice Cooker, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce immediately received large amounts of orders.

Just in Karma City alone, from the companies that worked with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on the Magic Fans before, their orders added up to a total of over seven thousand.

Adding in the orders from other cities, as well as the demand from Banta City, the task the household magic machine workshop faced now was having to make over sixteen thousand Magic Rice Cookers in a month!

Even if it was much easier to make Magic Rice Cookers compared to Magic Fans, which made it much faster to make, this was still a very tiring task.

But for a fellow like Heinz who only knew how to worry about not having any work to do, this was a very happy thing for him.

During this time, Heinz had been in the workshop daily supervising everything, even sleeping in the workshop at night, rarely returning to Banta City. There were many times when Heinz’s wife had come looking for him and they had started arguing in front of Xu Yi.

But Heinz became very excited every time the factory was filled with work, so how could he have the mind to listen to others.

After Xu Yi found that talking to him didn’t work, he just let him do what he wanted.

Heinz as the factory manager went all out, so the workers under him naturally couldn’t be lazy.

There was no need to mention the hundred slaves he borrowed from Viscount Leslie, even the hundred workers recruited after all worked very earnestly. Whenever one entered the workshop, they would always see a bustling working scene.

Of course, the reason why the workers were so full of zeal was that Xu Yi had told them through Heinz that they would receive overtime pay!

This was a very new thing for them.

For these workers, they had never heard of the concept of working overtime before.

In their knowledge, since they came to work here, they did whatever the boss told them to do, or they wouldn’t receive their wages.

But the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had opened their eyes.

Because the Magic Rice Cooker hadn’t been sold yet, so the workshop’s work wasn’t too heavy, so they strictly followed the work schedule of eight hours a day.

The workers were confused back then. Clearly there were many things to do still, so why was their rest time each day for so long?

There were many workers who were even unsettled by this. Such a strange company, could it be there was a problem?
