Volume 3 Chapter 70 - Stubborn Amelud (1/2)
After leaving the magic research facility, Xu Yi went around the factories of the Falling Rain Valley, focusing on the situation of the tire factory.
Because of the appearance of the Magic Car, even if the tire factory had magic production machines developed for making tires, because there was a large demand for Magic Cars, there was a large demand for Magic Car tires.
Adding in the fact that there were many orders for many horse carriage tires and bicycle tires, the work for the tire factory was very heavy. The workers in the factory were almost always working overtime.
But compared to the people of earth who complained about overtime, the workers of the tire factory were very happy to work overtime.
Because compared to normal working hours, the wages for overtime were much higher. So including the overtime wages, the workers of the tire factory normally earned twice their monthly wage and most workers had earned close to forty gold coins alone last month.
For many of these workers who had worked as farmers before, they might not even earn as much money working for a whole year.
With the encouragement of money, their enthusiasm for work surged.
And if they stayed overnight to work overtime, they could enjoy the meals provided by the company.
It had to be known, Xu Yi was very willing to spend money on worker benefits, so the meals the company provided were very delicious and rich, so they were loved by the workers.
Not long ago, there were even workers who asked the company to build a large cafeteria in the Falling Rain Valley to take care of the three meals a day for their workers. At worst the cost for their meals could be taken from their wages, it was better than rushing home to eat every day.
Kennard had attached great importance to this request and after handing it to Xu Yi for approval, Xu Yi immediately agreed.
Right now the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was choosing a place in the center of the Falling Rain Valley, planning to build a cafeteria.
Xu Yi had a high prestige in the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. When he arrived at the tire factory to inspect their work, it was like the workers working hard were hit with stimulants and began working even harder.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yi didn’t care that much. He looked around and pulled the manager of the tire factory over to talk about the security issues and the rest of the workers. He looked over the hundred elf workers in the factory before leaving this place.
Thinking of the hundred elves working hard, Xi Yi headed towards the Night Song Tribe’s plastic processing factory.
Right now the Night Song Tribe’s factory was as busy as the tire factory.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce received an order for a thousand medium sized Magic Passenger Cars from the Fersen Carriage Company, but each Magic Car required thirteen plastic seats, so there were a total of thirteen thousand plastic seats required.
Xu Yi had given all of this to the Night Song Tribe’s factory.
Just with this order, it was enough for the Night Song Tribe’s factory to be busy for a long time.
Not to mention that the Night Song Tribe’s factory was already becoming famous in Banta City and the surrounding cities, so now there were more people finding ways to replace things with plastic, which made it easier to use and much cheaper. So the Night Song Tribe’s factory gradually had more and more orders, causing the elves to be much busier.
When he walked into the factory, he saw that even the factory manager Amelud was a part of the production line. He was personally packing the products, which made Xu Yi unable to stop himself from shaking his head before calling him to the side.
“Chairman, do you need something?” Because it was busy, Amelud hadn’t rested in a long time. He was much different compared to the handsome appearance he had when Xu Yi met him for the first time.
Xu Yi looked him over and shook his head. He pointed at the busy scene in the factory and said with a sigh, “Amelud, are you planning to continue like this?”
Amelud was surprised, “What?”
“What?” Xu Yi really wanted to hit him on his head to wake him up, but thinking that elves were stubborn, he gave up this idea, “Hey, Amelud, when elder Illusia had you take responsibility for the plastic processing factory, what did she say to you?”
