Chapter 356: Snowball

The "Daimaru Workshop", which started as a money-making business, is no longer as humble as it was when it first opened.

The original simple and atmospheric display and sales area has been expanded a lot.

The five or six adjacent stores have been rented and transformed into a puppet service area integrating exhibition halls, after-sales, supporting facilities, finance, training, etc.

In order to make the clerks and temporary workers on duty feel at work, Daimaru even opened a low-rent leisure place for the employees who work for Daimaru to enjoy themselves.

Since the business has improved, Daimaru has a lot more money on his hands, and the pressure of debt is not so serious, and this "workshop area" has invested a lot in this "workshop area" where some future ideas are pinned.

Even if Daimaru is too busy to make rounds, he often asks trusted people to manage it on his behalf.

Considering that it is located in Shayin Village, it is extremely unlikely that it will be directly attacked by Payne Six Dao and razed to the ground by the Earthburst Celestial Star, and the industry that is being built now does not have to worry too much about external damage.

Therefore, laying a good foundation early is good for future development.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the village to promote the training of air teams and the manufacture of wing armor, Daimaru specially bought a vacant land in the prosperous area closest to the house of Kazekage and the wealthy residential area in Sand Hidden Village, and built a simple warehouse as a place for goods to be transferred.

In the future, this warehouse Daimaru plans to build a small castle building as the headquarters of the forces with Daimaru as the core.

Of course, this is only a preliminary plan.

The area is not large, but the location is good, and there are no restrictions on residential land, commercial land and agricultural land in Shayin Village, so how to arrange it in the future depends on the future development.

In the area near the center, it is unlikely that there will be a large vacant land, but this land is a bit special, it was originally a groundwater extraction plant, and it was almost abandoned two years ago because the water source was exhausted.

The village planned to lease it to a wealthy merchant in the Land of the Wind to develop it into a business building, but after the "Konoha Collapse Plan", the village collapsed, and the so-called cooperation plan naturally fell through.

What's more troublesome is that because the groundwater flowing through it is depleted, the ground seems to have signs of subsidence, and it is not easy to develop and deal with the danger of subsidence.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the village and the lack of interest in the plot, Daimaru bought it.

Naturally, the price was not cheap, and it was only after borrowing a large amount of money that the down payment on the plot was paid off after borrowing a large amount of money against the share proceeds of the "Daimaru Workshop" and the penalty clause for the manufacture of a hundred standard wingsuit armors within five years after the default.

Today, the scale of Daimaru's debts has increased more than ten times compared to before, but he can still borrow money.

Daimaru's strength, prestige and influence make everyone believe that he has the strength to pay off his debts; And in fact, it is also true, and now the "Daimaru Workshop" is far more profitable than it was before it became famous.

After the scale has expanded, the number of talents needed has also increased significantly compared to the past. That's why Shanai was angry about the apprentice being poached.

However, when Daimaru walked into the workshop, there was no sign of hurrying, because the weather was not good, there were not many pedestrians going out, there were many fewer customers today, and the exhibition area was relatively deserted.

A pale white hooded robe that covered the ninja armor on Daimaru's body, except for the forehead guard on his head, there was no sign of identity.

The few apprentices who didn't know Daimaru and some of the idle apprentices thought they were customers who had come to watch, and they were ready to come forward to greet them, but they were waved back by Aika Tsukitani.

Feeling the somewhat peaceful atmosphere nearby, Daimaru asked in a low voice:

"Just you? Where's the sand spike......"

"There is a batch of wing armor parts in the warehouse area that need to be signed! Sha Sui went over there to inspect the goods......"

Now that she has a lot of experience, Shasui and Tsukuya Aika are already the rare backbone of the workshop, and they don't need to supervise ordinary affairs personally.

Wingsuit armor is a task entrusted by the village, and although the "official order" is lucrative, it is not a small trouble if something goes wrong, so it has to be cautious.

"Are you still busy? I've heard that some apprentices have been poached......"

"I was a little scrambling some time ago, but now it's almost stable!"

Aika Tsukuya, who spoke, handed over the list of employees that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Boss, a group of people will come for an interview tomorrow, do you want to take a look?"

Daimaru waved his hand:

"You guys have ideas, I don't necessarily have time!"

As he spoke, Daimaru casually flipped through the list in his hand.

There are currently 37 people employed at the Daimaru Workshop, and there are 29 apprentices, including Saho and Aika Tsukitani.

Not counting Yame, Chi and Sana, there are two shinobi who have signed a temporary work agreement, and they can come to help in times of emergency, both of them are civilian puppeteers with ordinary family backgrounds, and they are also consumers of puppet spiders, because they can't afford to pay off the full amount, they can only take out a loan to buy it, and then work to pay off their debts.

The remaining six are all ordinary people between the ages of 17 and 25, accounting and accounting, toy puppet sales, statisticians, etc., and even a chef who specializes in cooking for employees who work overtime, most of whom have signed full-time employment agreements ranging from two to five years.

Twenty-nine apprentices, two of them are determined to leave in half a month, fourteen have already left the school, except for Sha Sui and Zhu Gu Aijia, who are in charge alone, the other eleven newcomers follow the other apprentices to accumulate experience.

This staffing is still a little thin, and it is expected that at least a dozen people will be needed to maintain a healthy operation in the future.

"It's okay, when the other people are not there, you and Sha Sui will bother more, and ...... other"

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said,

"You don't have to call me boss in the future, you two can just call your seniors. It is likely that the village will then form a department dedicated to the management and development of puppet armaments......"

In the past, puppet stylists were basically working alone, and the communication between them was not smooth.

Now it seems that the importance of puppetry is increasing, and it is very inappropriate to let it go unchecked, and there must be a special "official body" to control and promote development in a planned way.

Like before, Daimaru "talked nonsense" on stage, and few people in the audience could understand it, which was really shameless.

"Senpai? What do you mean......"

Aika Tsuya asked with a look of surprise on her face.

"Just know, keep quiet. A small number of high-level puppet stylists who can be trusted will be co-opted, supplemented by some young and potential puppeteers; There are only so many puppeteers in the village, most of them are reckless guys who are keen on fighting and killing, and there are too few who are really experienced in making puppets, so they need to be recommended for assessment! Be ready, seize the opportunity......"
