Volume 4 Chapter 36 - Another Great Magician (1/2)

On the surface, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce hadn’t changed compared to before, but the people who knew about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce knew. Actually when his highness Eric announced that he was taking the throne, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had already planned to move out of Banta City.

Although there were various Frestech Chamber of Commerce factories in the Falling Rain Valley, with all kinds of different equipment that didn’t seem to change on the surface, most of the important personnel and material had always been controleld by Xu Yi. In a planned method, they had moved the headquarters in the Falling Rain Valley bit by bit.

Perhaps others didn’t understand that meaning of Xu Yi’s actions because to many people, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was the factories and the equipment inside.

Only with this equipment could the Frestech Chamber of Commerce be considered a company, producing all those kinds of novel Frestech Brand magic machines that were welcomed by all.

Without this equipment, wouldn’t the Frestech Chamber of Commerce be empty?

However, to Xu Yi, it was the exact opposite.

The equipment of the company wasn’t important to him, the most important thing would always be people.

The so-called “people” were him the chairman to the workers down below, they were all more important than the equipment.

Xu Yi always believed that no matter what the Frestech Chamber of Commerce turned into, he could found a brand new Frestech Chamber of Commerce at any time if the people were there.

If he spoke even a bit bolder, as long as he was there, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce existed.

Of course, the staff other than Xu Yi had scales in Xu Yi’s mind.

To him, the workers were the foundation of a company, but workers could be recruited and trained, so they weren’t as important.

Compared to them, the researchers and the magic mechanical engineers, those were the really important personnel.

Technology was the base of industry, so these researchers and mechanical engineers represented technology.

With them, even if Xu Yi gave the important technology of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to those ten companies, he wasn’t worried at all.

Because the other companies can take their technology away, but without a good enough research team, they will never make any real breakthroughs and would never be able to surpass the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.

When Xu Yi talked to the director Dino Russell, he actually meant this.

Of course, not all the researchers were willing to accept Xu Yi’s plan of leaving Banta City and the Falling Rain Valley that they had lived in for so long and restart at the Frestech Farm in the Stantine Duchy.

Xu Yi didn’t force them and asked for everyone’s opinions. He separated the magic research department, creating a branch in the Falling Rain Valley and the Frestech Farm in the Stantine Duchy.

According to Xu Yi’s plans, the Falling Rain Valley magic research department would research more in depth into their existing technology, but they would no longer conduct research on new technology.

As for the Stantine Duchy branch, they would focus on developing new magic machines and new technology.

Although it was split like this, making both sides happy, it inevitably weakened the Frestech Chamber of Commerce magic research facility.

For example, for the two research teams under Akali, more than half of the people in these two teams wanted to stay in the Falling Rain Valley, so there were only less than ten researchers that followed Xu Yi to the Stantine Duchy. She could only focus on the magic resonance technology that she cared about the most and couldn’t study anything else.

So Xu Yi was faced with an important problem, or perhaps it was a problem that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce always faced. But in this situation, it became more serious.

This problem was the lack in research staff.

Even if the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had fame in the Lampuri Kingdom and the magic machine industry was now approved by most people in the kingdom, to most magicians, studying magic and the magic machine industry weren’t related. The place where magicians could realize their true value was studying profound magic.

This was something that even the researchers that had worked for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce for several years now didn’t change their opionion on, not to mention other magicians.

In this situation, Great Magician Telucci announcing that he would become a researcher would wihtout a doubt be a strong stimulant to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, making Xu Yi very excited.

Although Great Magician Camilla joining the magic research facility had created a stir in the Lampuri Kingdom, to most people, it was because Xu Yi was Still’s husband. He was Great Magician Camilla grandson in law, so it wasn’t strange for Great Magician Camilla to work in the magic machine industry.

Now that Great Magician Telucci also announced this, it meant something completely different.

Great Magician Telucci didn’t have a granddaughter to marry to Xu Yi……

The more important thing was that a Great Magician joining the magic research faciltiy meant that there were two Great Magicians there. Although it was just one person, it meant something completely different.
