"Lord, do you have no money on you?" As soon as she entered the Falling Rain Forest, Yanis, who had been silently leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, glanced back at Xu Yi, flipped over her body for a while, and took out a handful of gold coins and handed it to Xu Yi. "Here, I only have so much on me now, you can use it first. ”

Xu Yi was stunned and glanced at the gold coin held in Yanis's slender hands, then looked up at Yanis's serious expression, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you just tell Patriarch Sluby that you don't have any money? Annis replied with a look of course.

Xu Yi finally understood what she meant, and pushed her hand back with a smile, and said, "Yanis, what I said about no money, to be precise, it's not that I personally have no money, but that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has no money, do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah, the Chamber of Commerce is out of money?" Yanis's eyes widened in surprise, then she looked down at the dozens of gold coins she was holding in her hand, and shook her head: "Then this little money is probably not enough." Why don't you tell the elder to borrow a little from the elder last time? ”

Looking at Yanis with an innocent face, Xu Yi couldn't help but be a little funny.

"Janis, it seems you still don't understand what I mean. The Chamber of Commerce I'm talking about has no money, it's just that there is no liquidity for the time being. This means that if the Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of money, it will not be able to come up with cash. And if the Chamber of Commerce really needs money urgently, a few thousand gold coins are far from enough. ”

"What then? What if you really need to use the money and you can't get it. Wouldn't our Chamber of Commerce be in great difficulty?" Annis was a little anxious. "Grown, haven't you thought of anything?"

"Rest assured. It's not as strict as you think, it's just a matter of short-term capital turnover. Besides, as long as it takes a while, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally be able to make enough money. Xu Yi waved his hand and comforted.

"Oh, that's good. Yanis's expression softened at this time, and after thinking about it, she asked suspiciously: "But Lord Lord, why did the Chamber of Commerce suddenly run out of money? I remember that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been very profitable in the past few months." Last time, I heard Director Sebas say that the Chamber of Commerce had earned more than 100,000 gold coins in the last month alone. ”

"You didn't notice how much money he said we spent, right?" said Xu Yi. "Sue you, our Chamber of Commerce has indeed made a lot of money in the past few months, but it has spent more. Don't say anything else. More than 300,000 gold coins have been invested in the Falling Rain Valley alone, plus more than 100,000 yuan has been spent on the construction of the Falling Rain Highway, and then another 100,000 yuan has been invested in the construction of the road between Bangta City and Kalmar City. Coupled with some miscellaneous investments, as well as the chamber of commerce's monthly fixed expenses, now the chamber of commerce may not even have 20,000 gold coins on its books, which can really be regarded as no money. ”

Yanis stuck out her tongue: "It turns out that there are still 20,000 gold coins, I thought I didn't even have a gold coin." ”

Xu Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that Yanis had been by his side for several months, why did she still look like she was not stunned by the world?

Could it be that the elves are really like the legends. Is it extremely difficult to make changes because the life span is too long?

Thinking of this, Xu Yi couldn't help but look up at the still dark Falling Rain Forest in front of him, thinking that if the elves were really like this. Then Elder Elucia's idea that the elves can coexist with humans is only afraid that it will be difficult to realize.

"That's my concern as well. Elder Elucia nodded slightly. "That's why I want Janis to stay with you all the time. For the Human Traders are the most versatile and flexible of your human beings. If Yanis can get along with you normally, she can learn from you that human beings are flexible. Then I'm sure the other elves will be able to do the same. ”

"The question is...... I don't think Janis seems to be much different now than when I first met her, but I think she's a little more innocent than she used to be. Xu Yi frowned.

"Nope. Contrary. Compared to when she lived in the tribe, Yanis has changed a lot. Elder Elucia smiled and shook her head, "In the past, Yanis was a very simple child. For all things there will only be very simple considerations. And now, according to what you just described, she has learned to not show up when she hears you say that she has no money, but waits until she enters the Falling Rain Forest to express her thoughts to you. It can be said that she has learned to distinguish the occasions that are important to you humans. ”

Xu Yi was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that this is a skill that almost all humans are born with, how could it be that it became a table that seemed to be worthy of praise when it was put on Yanis?

"Because you are human beings, and we are elves. Elder Elucia gave a very popular but practical answer to Xu Yi's question.

Xu Yi shook his head, still unable to understand the elves' thoughts.

"Okay, Annis's changes aside, let's get down to business. Xu Yi took out the plastic shell of a new generation magic fan from his backpack and handed it over.

Elder Elucia took it and looked at it, and glanced at Xu Yi suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with this plastic shell?"

"It's not a problem on its own. But ......" Xu Yi leaned forward, pointed to a beautiful flower pattern in the upper right corner of the case, and said, "It's very problematic to compare this place with other fan shells. ”

Elder Elucia looked at the exquisitely carved flower, still puzzled.

"I don't see anything wrong with that. The flower is very beautifully carved. ”

"The flower itself is a problem. Xu Yizheng said. "Elder Elucia, when I asked your Nightsong Clan to help us make the plastic shells of this batch of magic fans, I gave you several drawings of the exterior shapes, right?"

"Hmm. Elder Elucia got up and rummaged through a box, pulling out a few drawings. "Still here. ”

"Then Elder, please take a look, is there such a flower pattern here on the shell on the drawing?" Xu Yi asked.

Elder Elucia looked at the drawings and shook his head, "Not on the drawings. ”

"So, when making the magic fan shell of zuò, the elf in charge of making zuò didn't follow the drawings?" Xu Yi asked.

"It seems so. Elder Elucia nodded, still puzzled, "But President Xu, I still don't understand what's wrong with this. Doesn't the addition of such a beautiful pattern on the shell of this magic fan make the whole magic fan shell even more beautiful?"

That's fine. But Dear Elder, this magic fan is not a separate one, but a very ordinary one of the magic fans mass-produced by our Chamber of Commerce, and there will be big problems if you do this. Xu Yi said with a stern face.

Seeing the serious expression on Xu Yi's face, Elder Elucia thought for a while, sat down again, and said to Xu Yi with a straight face: "President Xu, I don't understand what you mean, please explain in detail." ”

"Good. Xu Yi was not polite, picked up the magic fan shell and said: "Elder, if one of the magic fans has this pattern on the shell, but the other one does not, and then the price of these two magic fans is the same, then if you want to buy a magic fan, which one will you buy?"

"Obviously this one is patterned, because this one looks better. Elder Elucia replied.

"Good. In other words, if it were at the same price, this magic fan without a pattern might not be sold, would it?"

"Not necessarily, maybe there will be more of you humans who prefer not having patterns. ”

"Well, this possibility is not ruled out. But Elder Elusia, do you have to admit that the pricing of these two magic fans should be different? ”

"Yes. ”

"Then the problem is, the shell of this magic fan belongs to the same batch as other magic fan shells without patterns, and if these shells are installed on the magic fan, then there will be difficulties in the pricing of this batch of magic fans. Because people who buy fans will not accept that they can buy products of different values at the same price. Xu Yiyang raised the plastic shell in his hand. "So when our chamber of commerce actually produces magic fans, such shells are treated as defective products and are not included in the production process. ”

"Defective products?" Elder Elucia looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "President Xu, how can there be defective products in such delicate hands of our elven clan? You must have made a mistake!"

Xu Yi frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "Your Excellency Respected Elder, whether you want to admit it or not, but this is the rule of our Chamber of Commerce." Parts that do not meet the standards are defective!"

Seeing Xu Yi's solemn face, Elder Elucia was silent for a moment and nodded lightly: "Okay, since this is something that is made according to the requirements of your Chamber of Commerce, then it should be done according to your standards, you are right." ”

Xu Yi glanced at Elder Elucia to confirm that she didn't have too many unusual feelings, and then continued: "Actually, this shell is just one that I picked out that is not strict, and even the entire shape has changed, and it can't be assembled with other parts of the magic fan at all. And after the final review, this time you completed the 20,000 magic fan plastic shells, the defective products even exceeded 30%. Therefore, Your Excellency Elder, I have come here this time to ask, what is this...... What the hell is going on?" (To be continued......)
