Although Kompany's cottage is a small, somewhat cramped hut as before, the interior is completely new.

Not only have the walls been repainted, but the ceiling has also been re-installed with wooden planks, at least it still looks presentable, and it is no longer as shabby as before.

Once inside, Kompany saw Saya munching on a piece of snack at the table, slapped him aside, and invited Winnie and Joshua to sit down.

"What about your sister?" Kompany asked Winnie as he sat down.

"My sister said she was going to prepare a nice dinner for us, so she went grocery shopping. Winnie replied.

"Nonsense!" Kompany frowned. "Leave the guests at home and run to buy groceries by herself, doesn't she know to wait until I get back?"

Winnie smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, brother-in-law, you don't know that sister, she can't hold back anything she thinks." I told her that I and Jo Xiu'an were not guests at all, so we didn't need to be so polite, and she still had to go grocery shopping. There's no need at all. ”

"No, you've only come back once in a few years, and this time it's brother-in-law...... It's the first time I've come here, so of course I'm going to have to entertain him. Speaking of this, Kompany glanced at Joxiu'an's neat and high-end clothes, and his expression was a little embarrassed. "It's just...... We don't have any good things to entertain in this place, so don't mind you. ”

"Brother-in-law, you are too polite. Perhaps because they met and exchanged identities, Joxiu changed the honorifics in his mouth. It's a little closer. "Winnie and I don't care about the people who eat. Besides, you and your sister are Winnie's closest relatives. That's my family. between family members. Why bother so much? ”

Kompany scratched his head, laughed twice, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Winnie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Okay, brother-in-law, let's stop talking this nonsense. To answer my question, how are you going to arrange Havat?"

Kompany was relieved to hear about his eldest son. After thinking for a while, he replied, "There's nothing to arrange, right? This kid can't be a magician, so I'm going to let you let him learn the craft of magic machinery, and when he grows up, he can also enter my current factory, it will be good." ”

"It's not going to work. Winnie immediately shook her head. "I talked to my sister just now, brother-in-law, your idea seems to be okay now, but you can't guarantee that this factory in town will not be there in the future, so you can't put all your hopes on it. ”

Kompany was stunned: "Why is this factory not here?"

"This ......" Winnie frowned and thought for a moment, and pushed Joshua beside her. "I can't tell me, you can sue my brother-in-law. ”

Joshua smiled. After a little hesitation, he spoke, "Brother-in-law." I've heard that the main products of the factory are only two magic machines, the magic fan and the magic stove, and they haven't changed in the last few years. Is that so?"

"Well, it's always been both. How, is there a problem?" Kompany asked rhetorically.

"It's okay for the time being, but not necessarily in the long run. Joxiuan seemed to be considering how to use words, and paused before continuing: "After all, the two magic machines of magic fans and magic stoves are the lowest-end products of household magic machines, and they can indeed sell well near Arafat Town now, but they may not be in a few years. ”

"Because in recent years, all the countries on the continent have been vigorously developing the magic industry, and the Falk Kingdom is no exception. So if nothing else, there will only be more and more chambers of commerce and factories that produce household magic machinery in the future. Magic fans and magic stoves, two low-end household magic machines with low technical content, will be able to be manufactured in a lot of factories. Then this factory will face very strong competition in the future, and it is very difficult to say whether it can continue to guarantee the current profits......"

"What do you mean...... Will the factory not be able to sell what it produces in the future?"

"I'm not sure, but it's possible because the competition is only going to get stronger. Jo Xiu'an nodded. "Our elder said that any competition on this continent in the future will actually be a competition in technology in the final analysis. If you don't overpower others on a technical level, then you will only face the fate of being eliminated in the end. ”

"Your elders?" Kompany was stunned.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Brother-in-law, Jo Xiu'an is an employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the president he said is President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Oh, yes, I know, I know. Kompany nodded. "Since it was said by a big man like President Xu, it must be true. Kompany frowned again. "But Joxiu'an, according to what you say, this factory will not go out of business...... So what can I do......

"I'm not saying it's going to go out of business, it's just that it's possible. Joshua coughed lightly. "Of course, it's good to be able to prepare in advance. This goes back to what Winnie said about Havat's arrangement, brother-in-law, you want Havat to learn the craft of magic machinery, which is a good idea, but you can't just focus on the factory in Arafat's town, you should look a little further. ”

"What do you mean......"

Joxiu turned his head to look at Winnie, and when he saw that she nodded, he turned his head to Kompany and said, "Brother-in-law, I have discussed with Winnie and my sister just now, I have a better arrangement for Havat here, I hope you can agree." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Brother-in-law, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce founded a training academy for ordinary people three years ago in the practical use of magic, which specializes in teaching ordinary people to learn the basic use of magic, and also trains them to master all kinds of knowledge that combines magic and machinery. Students who graduate from this academy will be directly recruited by our new flying chamber of commerce, and strive to train a new generation of magical mechanical engineers. So I think that if Havat can be admitted to this academy, then he will very likely to work in our new flying chamber of commerce in the future. That's anyway. It's better than staying here. It's much better to get into that factory, isn't it?"

"If you can get in, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will of course be countless times stronger. But...... You just said magic...... Havat has no magical talent at all?" Kompany, still confused.

"Nope. According to the research results of our Chamber of Commerce's Magic Research Institute four years ago, anyone actually has a talent for magic, but some people are more obvious, so it is easy to manifest it, and they have the opportunity to become a magician. Most people's magical talents are not obvious, and they need a certain amount of guidance and teaching to be able to show them. Our Chamber of Commerce created this specialized training academy to test this theory. Havat may not have a talent for magic for the other magicians, but for the researchers at our Chamber of Commerce's Institute of Magic. Not necessarily. ”

"You're saying it's possible for Havat to learn magic?" Kompany's eyes lit up.

"Possibly. But the magic he learned is probably not the same as the magic you understand, brother-in-law. ”

"I know, it's the new type of magic that the newspapers often talk about for magical machines, isn't it?" Kompany asked.

There was a look of surprise on Joshuaan's face.

"Brother-in-law, you actually know this...... Ah, I don't mean to be offended......"

Kompany laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know what you mean." It's strange for a crude person like me to know this. And this thing is also something I overheard someone else talking about when they read the newspaper, and if you want me to read the newspaper by myself, I don't even recognize the words, haha......"

Yue Xiu'an's expression moved: "Brother-in-law, when it comes to not knowing words...... Saya must be six years old this year, right?

Kompany immediately shook his head: "No one has ever taught him. Of course he didn't recognize it. ”

"Is there a place in the small town of Afarat where you can learn to read?"

"Yes, yes, but it's a private classroom set up by the mayor of the town, Viscount Rysos, for the children of the town's nobles. Except for the children of the nobility. If the commoners want to go in and study, they have to pay 300 gold coins a year, and I don't have that much money. ”

"That'...... Brother-in-law, do you think anyone would want to come if there was a school in the town dedicated to teaching children to read and write, and only ten gold coins were charged a year?"

Kompany was stunned: "I only accept ten gold coins a year, don't say ten, even if it is twenty, as long as there is such a school, I will throw these two boys into everything! Damn, because I can't read, I have suffered a lot." Even if you want to learn more advanced knowledge of magic machinery, it is particularly difficult to pass the advanced technician certificate. I don't want these two boys in my family to suffer the same loss!"

It seemed that Kompany had suffered so much from this that he couldn't even resist exploding foul mouth.

Joxiuan didn't mind at all, but the smile on his face was even brighter.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to sue me first, do you agree with me and Winnie to take Havat away and let him enter the magic practical skills training academy of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Kompany looked at Joxiuan suspiciously: "After graduating from this academy, you can work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how easy is it?"

Jo Xiu'an smiled slightly: "I have a special quota, you don't need to worry about this." ”

"That's ......"

Kompany frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded heavily.

"Okay! It's a rare opportunity, of course I agree......! In that case, Havat is going to your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which is so far from here......"

Winnie on the side reached out and grabbed Kompany's arm and shook it: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this." The academy will provide them with special accommodation, and Joshua and I will also take care of him, so there will be no problem. If you miss him, we can send him back every year during the Chinese New Year. Or simply you and your sister go to see him, now it will take less than two days to take a car from here to the main base of our Chamber of Commerce, which is very convenient. ”

Kompany pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, when your sister returns, I will discuss it with her." ”

"Okay, then put this matter aside. "Josh Andao. "Brother-in-law, I will go to visit Viscount Resus early tomorrow morning, would you like to accompany me?"

Kompany looked at Joshua in a daze, thinking that the two of them were still discussing the arrangement of this kid Hawatt just now, why did the topic suddenly jump to asking to see the mayor of the town?

The span between that is a bit too big.

And...... It's just that Joxiu An's going to see the mayor of the town, why do you want to go with you? (To be continued......
