Perhaps it was because the gods had finally paid their salaries, but just after noon, a long-awaited rainstorm crackled down.

The raindrops the size of a little thumb not only hurt when they fell on the body, but also brought a muffled thump when they fell on the thick log roof.

"It's the first time it's raining so heavily, I'm afraid it will leak, right?" Xu Yi raised his head and looked at the roof worriedly.

"It may be a little bit of a leak, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Heinze on the side replied disappretently.

At this time, the outside room had become completely dark due to the sudden rainstorm, and it was almost impossible to see anything ten meters away through the window.

Now in this workshop, the workers have long since left, and only Xu Yi, Heinze, Sebas and Camby are left, and it is extremely empty and quiet.

The sound of huge raindrops crashing on the roof reverberated back and forth in the workshop, like beating a drum.

"No, rain leaks are a big problem. Xu Yi shook his head. "Heinze, what we produce here is precision machinery, if it is rained, it will rust at the lightest, and it will directly damage the magic array inside, and the whole machine will be damaged, so this problem must be taken seriously. ”

Heinze raised his head helplessly: "No, right? These are all iron guys, and it's okay to be caught in the rain at all." ”

The dwarf Camby also looked at Xu Yi in confusion, not understanding why he was making such a fuss.

As an authoritative dwarven craftsman, Kanby had only made more iron tools in his life than Xu Yi had ever seen, and he didn't think that those swarthy iron guys would hang up because of a little rain.

Only Sebas, as usual, did not see any change in the expression on his face.

Xu Yi was also very helpless, thinking that if this world does not talk about stainless steel, even the steel has not yet appeared, and the anti-rust technology is extremely simple, and the service life of many iron tools has been greatly reduced.

Looking back at the batch of magic fans that had been completed in the corner of the workshop, Xu Yi shook his head.

No way, he is just a mechanical engineer, although he knows some about material research, but he is not so proficient, and he can't take out the plastic formula completely, otherwise if the shell of these magic fans can be made of plastic, then it can not only prevent rust well, but also make the weight of the magic fan greatly reduced, and it can make the appearance more beautiful, and the most important thing is that it can greatly reduce the cost, and the profit obtained by then is only higher.

Fortunately, when designing these magic machines, Xu Yi had already taken into account the waterproof problem, and the core power components were strictly waterproofed, so that they should not be so easily damaged by water flooding.

Moreover, the drawing of the magic array is done by special magic materials, once the magic array is generated, then unless the material attached to the magic array is destroyed, the magic array itself is difficult to destroy, which is not too worrying.

"Even if the reasons for these products are put aside, these workshops will have to be renovated in the future, otherwise once the rain leaks, even the production of the workers will be greatly affected. Xu also insisted on his opinion. "Heinze, you can arrange it as much as you can. ”

Seeing Xu Yi insisting, Heinze could only nod and agree.

"Okay, let's put this question down first, where did we talk about just now?" Xu Yi said again.

As the main person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, the four of them stayed after the workers left, in order to have a meeting, summarize the operation of the Chamber of Commerce last month, and also plan the next development and work arrangements of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Just now Camby said that the work in their magic machine shop is very smooth, but many dwarves complained that the work is too leisurely and there is nothing to do. Heinze replied.

"Yes, a lot of brothers say that they don't do any work here and get so much money every month, so it's embarrassing. Camby scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Xu Yi suddenly laughed.

These dwarves are really honest enough, and they are not happy to let them work idlely, and they even think that their wages are too high because of this.

"Kambi, reassure them, your task is not heavy right now, and that's because the guys outside haven't realized the importance of the machine. You just have to wait, and when the Fasak Chamber of Commerce has built that factory in Saltan, I can guarantee that a large number of machine tool orders will fly in, and you will not blame yourself for being too busy. ”

Camby grinned and waved his hand nonchalantly, "How come? We dwarves are the most hard-working. As long as you have alcohol to drink, it doesn't matter how much work you do. ”

"Speaking of drinking...... Camby, although I know that you dwarves love fine wine, but try not to drink it when you are working, because the machine tools you produce require high precision, and the slightest mistake will cause serious problems, so you must stay awake when working. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is now a small Chamber of Commerce after all, and we must pay attention to the quality of products in the process of development. ”

Camby nodded: "Okay, I'll warn them when I go back, just drink when you get off work, and don't drink when you go to work." ”

Xu Yi frowned: "A warning alone may not be enough. Let's make a system. If someone is found to have drunk during working hours, they will be fined 50 silver coins for the first time, 2 gold coins for the second time, and directly deducted from the monthly salary for the third time. ”

"That's too strict, isn't it?" said Camby. "President, those brothers are all addicted to alcohol, and I'm afraid that as soon as this rule is taken out, a bunch of people will not be able to get paid. ”

"I just know that you are a heavy drinker, which is why you are so strict. Xu Yizheng said. "In any case, the quality of the product must come first, and if there is a problem with the product produced for personal reasons, then it is also appropriate to be punished for it. ”

Seeing that Xu Yi said solemnly, Camby could only hang his head helplessly.

"Okay, I'll make it clear to them. ”

Of course, this rule is not just for the dwarven brothers. Heinze, this rule is also valid for the magic fan workshop. ”

Heinze, of course, knew that Xu Yi was trying to balance it, so he immediately responded.

"Canby, you don't have to be so downcast, there are rewards in addition to punishment. You go and tell the dwarven brothers that as long as their task is done well, I can make a large order to Thatch Manor in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and if they want to drink good wine in the future, they can apply to the Chamber of Commerce on the basis of their own merits. ”

Camby's eyes immediately lit up: "What you said is true?"

"Am I going to joke at this time?"

The frustration on Camby's face was swept away, and he burst out laughing.

"Yes, yes, this is good! I can guarantee that the brothers will be very motivated when they hear the wine from Thatch Manor!"

"That's good. Xu Yi smiled and nodded, turned to Heinze and said, "Okay, after talking about the magic machine tool workshop, it's now the turn of the magic fan workshop." ”

Heinze immediately straightened his chest and said proudly: "We don't need to worry about the magic fan workshop, those slave workers are very obedient and will definitely not make any trouble." ”

Camby immediately glared at Heinze, which was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and waved his hand, although the dwarves have been working here for a month, they are still a little estranged from humans because of their race.

It's just that this gap will take a long time to be eliminated, but there is no urgency.

"No, Heinze, the problem with the Magic Machine Shop is not on the workers' side, but on the production that follows. ”

Heinze was stunned: "There is no problem in production, everything is smooth." ”

"I don't mean the problem of whether the production is smooth or not, but have you thought about a very important question, that is, the magic fan is likely to be discontinued?"

"Huh?" Heinze was taken aback, and Huo Ran stood up. "Why is it discontinued? Why is it discontinued?"

Camby and Sebas next to him also looked at Xu Yi with puzzled expressions

The second-generation variable-speed magic fan alone has been in production for less than half a month, and more than 6,000 units have been sold, bringing a lot of income of more than 5,000 gold coins to the Chamber of Commerce.

Xu Yi pointed out the window: "Because the summer is almost over." ”

The three of them were stunned.

That's right, it's the middle of August, and summer is coming to an end, and the hot weather won't take more than a month.

And once the weather is no longer hot, people's purchase of magic fans will naturally be greatly reduced, and even close to zero.

At that time, no one will buy magic fans, and naturally there will be no need to continue production.

As soon as he figured this out, Heinze suddenly became anxious.

"What should we do then? Xu Yi, the magic fan is the most profitable thing for us now, if it is discontinued, what will we rely on to make money? You have to think of a way, otherwise, we can't wait until next summer to start work, right? But next summer, there will definitely be more messy brands of magic fans popping up, and we won't be able to sell so well when the time comes!"

Cambye pulled Heinze: "What are you anxious about, since the president has raised this question, it proves that he has already had a solution, you just have to listen." ”

Heinze shook off Camby and said angrily: "Of course you are not in a hurry! When will you have work in the magic machine tool workshop, what about us?" After that, he turned to Xu Yi and urged: "Xu Yi, do you have a solution? If so, say it quickly, I'm going to die in a hurry!"

Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to calm down.

"Of course, there are solutions. Since the magic fan can no longer be produced, then we will change to a product that is not affected by the season. ”

Hearing that there was a play, Heinze's eyes immediately lit up: "What product?"

Xu Yi smiled and took out a drawing from his arms: "Oh, this is it." ”
