Volume 3 Chapter 19 - Count Stagg who almost couldn’t hold on any longer (1/2)

Xu Yi didn’t talk to Agnes about much, it was mainly concerning the design department.

Now, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce produced more and more magic machines, with different models between each kind of product.

For example, the first time there were different models was with the bicycle, separated into male and female. Next there would be adult and children models and they would be divided even further, going into luxury models, fashionable models, and simple models.

For the household magic machines, Xu Yi was also planning on dividing them into different models.

For example, the Magic Air Conditioner currently had the cold version and the variable temperature version. When it was promoted before, Xu Yi had only made those two versions, but now that the Magic Air Conditioner research was getting more in depth, changing the effectiveness of the warming and cooling functions, Xu Yi followed the same division of air conditioners on earth. They were separated into different efficiencies for different needs.

The same division was used with the other household magic machines, so there was a problem with this.

Since there were different versions of the same product, if they had the same design, it would seem very boring.

According to the customs from earth, different products naturally needed different designs. Not only did it make it easier to differentiate between versions, it made them look better to people.

Like this, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s current design department that only had Agnes and Vivian just wasn’t enough.

Vivian was currently still studying at Baron Rickto’s Magic Academy and she couldn’t work long enough. This meant that most of the designs were made by Agnes.

Even if the elves were filled with energy, Agnes’ time was still limited. So Xu Yi talked to Agnes, hoping that she could find a few elf designers from the Night Song Tribe to join the design department, helping Agnes finish these designs.

Hearing Xu Yi’s request, Agnes’ face was covered in joy.

“Chairman, even if you didn’t say anything, I was prepared to raise this issue with you.” Agnes said, “I have already thought that I don’t have enough time. Other than making designs, I’m also responsible for the forestation changes on the Black Rice Wasteland, so I really am busy.”

“Un, so I thought of finding people to help you take some of this work.” Xu Yi nodded, “Since you were here today, I was just informing you of this. Agnes, based on your good performance, I as the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman appoint you the chief of the design department. You will be in charge of everything with the design department.”

“Ah?” Agnes was stunned, “You want me to be chief? This…..This isn’t right, right? Chairman I don’t know anything…..”

“It’s fine as long as you understand designs.” Xu Yi said with a smile, “The design department recruiting new staff will all be handled by you. So whether you can find useful designers will all be up to you.”

Agnes thought about it and didn’t really hesitate as she gave a nod in response.

“Alright, then I will work hard.”

“That’s right.” Xu Yi thought for a bit before asking, “Right, I suddenly thought of something that I kept forgetting. The Stantine Duchy is smaller than the Lampuri Kingdom, but the Stantine Duchy’s Moon Shadow Tribe has over three thousand elves. By that logic, your Night Song Tribe shouldn’t only have a thousand elves, right? Based on common sense, there should be other elf tribes in the kingdom.”

Agnes thought for a bit before shaking her head, “I don’t really know because I’ve rarely left the Falling Rain Forest since I was young and I’ve never heard the elders mention this before.”

“Alright, I’ll ask elder Illusia about this later.”

Xu Yi said a few more things to Agnes about recruiting people for the design department before having her leave the study. He went over to a giant map hanging on the wall of the study.

This map was different from the map he had hanging in the office of the factory. Other than the Lampuri Kingdom, this map also included the countries around the Lampuri Kingdom.

For example, the Stantine Duchy that Xu Yi visited before, the Sack Kingdom that has always been hostile towards the Lampuri Kingdom to the north, and the Rudson Kingdom that Xu Yi was planning to invest in.

Xu Yi’s eyes swept over the map before falling onto the top right corner, looking at the Drake Kingdom that shared a border with both the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom.

Based on the map, the Drake Duchy was a bit smaller than the Stantine Duchy.

But the Stantine Duchy had a special geography and it was quite remote, so comparatively speaking, while the Drake Duchy was smaller, it was much more important.

For the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom, they had less than a fifth of the area, but it was still very important.

If either side had the support of the Drake Duchy, it would mean that they would be able to obtain the advantage and it wasn’t impossible for them to eliminate the other side.

“If we can win over the Drake Duchy, with this great advantage, would the support for Seveni surpass his highness Eric?”

Xu Yi tapped his finger on Banta City on the map before drawing a line to the Drake Duchy in the upper right corner. After calculating it, he found that it was over seven hundred kilometers away.
