Chapter 5 Mass Production

"A total of one hundred and thirty-seven?" Xu Yi looked at the reservation form that Heince gave him with a headache, and he didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed for a while.

The popularity of the magic fan was not unexpected, in this extremely hot weather, everyone expected something to bring them a touch of coolness, but setting up a large frost circle was too expensive for most people, and the appearance of the magic fan just met their needs.

Come to think of it, compared to the cost of setting up thirty gold coins for a large Frost Circle and the maintenance cost of up to hundreds of gold coins per month, the purchase cost of only two gold coins and the magic fan cost no more than one gold coin per month are undoubtedly too cheap.

While the effects of the Mana Fan can't be compared to a large Frost Circle, it's enough to cool people and relieve the heat a little.

But no matter what, Xu Yi didn't expect that just one day later, Heinze had received a full 137 orders for magic fans.

And according to Heinze, there are many more people who have not seen the real thing, so they have not made up their minds to buy, and once the supply of magic fans is sufficient, I am afraid that the sales volume will far exceed the number of one hundred and thirty-seven.

"Dear Xu, no matter what, please do your best to make these one hundred and thirty-seven magic fans, this is about our reputation in the future!" If Heinze's attitude towards Xu Yi before was just ordinary politeness, then now he looked at Xu Yi with a gaze like looking at a mountain of gold, and his tone was full of strong expectations, even mixed with a hint of flattery. "Of course, if you can, you can make as many magic fans as you can! Believe me, there must be many people in Bonta City who need this magic fan! Even if no one in Bonta City wants it, I'm sure there will be people in other cities who need it!"

Xu Yi was a little overwhelmed by Heinze's fanaticism, but when he thought of the seven gold coins and the handful of silver coins that Heinze had just handed him, a passion also surged in his heart.

"Okay, I'll do my best!"

However, it is easy to agree, but it is very difficult to operate.

If you want to complete the pre-order for these 137 magic fans, Xu Yi alone will definitely not be able to do it.

Although he is already very skilled in the process of making a magic fan, Xu Yi's words alone, it takes at least three hours of non-stop work to complete a magic fan, multiplied by one hundred and thirty-seven, that is a full four hundred and eleven hours, and it takes more than half a month!

After sending Heinze away, Xu Yi thought about it carefully, first went to the blacksmith shop where he had ordered the magic fan shell before, directly placed an order for two hundred fan shells, and then hurried back to Camilla's Magic Tower.

He took advantage of his lunch break to meet Heinze, and when he returned to the laboratory, his colleagues happened to be there.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Xu Yi distributed a large bag of frozen ale wine that he had brought back, but when he arrived in front of Rehm, he did not reach out to pick it up, but frowned and asked, "Hey, Xu Yi, just say something directly." My mother taught me that after eating something that someone else gave me, my mouth would soften, and if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't drink your ale. ”

Hearing Rem say this, a few colleagues who had taken the ale wine and were about to put it in their mouths also put it down one after another, and looked at Xu Yi curiously.

Rem's reaction surprised Xu Yi slightly, he glanced at Rem, smiled, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, so he raised his voice and said, "Everyone, I do have something I want to ask you for help. Of course, these ales are just a little meaning, nothing is counted, everyone can drink it with confidence, I didn't add poison to it. ”

Xu Yi's relaxed words caused a chuckle, and he immediately continued: "As for asking everyone to help, naturally there is also a reward, well, how much can it be regarded as a piece of extra money, I don't know if everyone is interested?"

"How's the pay?"

"What the hell do you do?"

"How long will it take?

......

The direction of everyone's concern is slightly different, but they are all concerned about the reward.

Under the command of Grand Magician Camilla, he assists him in magic research, although there is a monthly remuneration, but it is very fixed and not much, so these colleagues are still very concerned after knowing that there is a remuneration.

"This job shouldn't be difficult for everyone, and it doesn't take much time, but as for the reward, it depends on the specific completion situation, and the more you complete, the more you will be paid. Here's how it ......"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xu Yi explain that they only needed to depict a simple Wind Whirlwind Circle, for them, it really didn't take much time to depict a low-level Wind Whirlwind Circle, and there was no difficulty at all.

After hearing Xu Yi say that he could get a reward of ten silver coins for completing a whirlwind circle, everyone was instantly enthusiastic, and even Wella, who had been silent, was a little moved.

According to what Xu Yi said, this job is so simple, you can get a few gold coins by drawing dozens of Wind Whirlwind Arrays, which is really easy and enjoyable.

After Xu Ye finished explaining, ten of the sixteen people in the research room except for Xu Yi took over the work.

The few who didn't say yes included Rem and Wella, as well as their colleagues who were among the top in the research room's magical strength.

Xu Yi just smiled lightly at this and didn't say anything.

He knew in his heart that these people did not agree, and most of them looked down on this work, and even looked down on him personally.

However, this did not prevent anything, and it was beyond his expectation to be able to mobilize ten colleagues to help.

With the help of these ten colleagues, not only did it have no problem to complete the pre-order for 137 magic fans, but it was even possible to complete a higher production according to Heinze's idea.

###

In the following week, Xu Yi could be called very busy.

On the one hand, he had to strictly monitor the quality of the finished fan housing in the blacksmith's shop.

As a senior mechanical engineer on the planet, Xu also knows that once mass production is carried out, the most important thing to pay attention to is the uniformity of product specifications.

However, on the Sainz continent, the blacksmiths of the blacksmith shop rely entirely on their own experience and craftsmanship to forge items, and there is no particularly strict and fine specification control at all, so it is naturally impossible to achieve all the products uniformly.

Xu Yi also had no choice but to mark clearly on the drawings and strictly require the forgers to follow the drawings to build.

On the other hand, he needed to teach the ten colleagues how to draw the Wind Whirlwind Circle.

At first, the ten colleagues were dismissive of this, thinking that where Xu Yi needed to teach them to draw a mere wind whirlwind circle, they could draw it at will.

However, when Xu Yi placed the Wind Whirlwind Circle that had been transformed by him in front of them, they found that this Wind Whirlwind Circle was far more complicated than they had imagined, and many of the nodes and formation lines they couldn't understand at all.

One of the colleagues was still unconvinced, and sketched it out, but when Xu Yi combined this magic circle with the fan shell, everyone found that the wind blowing from this magic fan was extremely weak, and it was not ordinary at all.

At this time, they obediently obeyed Xu Yi's arrangement and carefully studied and drew the magic circle.

In addition to putting a lot of energy into these two areas, Xu Yi could not give up his job in the Camilla Magic Tower.

In this regard, Heinze once advised Xu Yi that with the sales prospect of the magic fan, Xu Yi could completely resign from his job in the magic tower, just cooperating with him to sell the magic fan was enough to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, so why let himself be busy like this.

Xu Yi just smiled, and did not answer Heinze's own reason for doing this, but still insisted on working in the magic tower every day.

After a busy week, the work of 200 magic fans was finally completed, leaving aside the 13 defective products produced for various reasons, leaving 487 magic fans completely produced, not only completing the reservation of 137 units, but also 350 units.

Xu Yi's rented cottage temporarily became a studio during this time, and after completing the work of the magic tower every day, Xu Yi and his ten colleagues came here to paint the magic circle of the magic fan and continued to work hard.

The atmosphere in the studio today was different from the past, and there was a little more joy and joy, because after completing the work of the 500 magic fans, Xu Yi also promised to pay everyone.

Ten colleagues, each of whom completed the drawing of fifty magic arrays on average, according to the remuneration set by Xu Yi and them before, was five gold coins per person.

Strictly speaking, this salary is not too much, but for these low-level magicians who usually don't have much opportunity to make money, it is a very real income.

In addition, Xu also presented each of them with a magic fan as a reward.

You must know that the magic fan has become a hot-selling product in Bangta City, and ordinary people may not be able to buy it even if they want to.

Privately, the magic fan, which was originally priced at two gold coins per piece, was even coaxed to three gold coins, a full half increase!

If they sold the magic fan that Xu Yi had given them, it would be equivalent to three more gold coins!

Looking at the excited but desperately concealed faces of these also young colleagues, Xu Yi smiled slightly and turned his head to look in the direction of Heinze's shop.

Tomorrow is the day when Heince has set a large number of magic fans to be sold, and this time he used the reservation money of the one hundred and thirty-seven magic fans to directly make five hundred magic fans, and if the sales are hot tomorrow, then he will definitely make a lot of money.

But if there is an accident and the magic fan can't be sold, then it will be lost along with the blood capital.

Success or failure will only be known tomorrow.
