Chapter 7: The Endless Voyage of the Wind
"You're saying you're willing to give me 180,000 Mora a month and provide me with new and interesting stories, and I only need to pay 50% of the proceeds from my storytelling?"
Bard Roach asked in surprise as he looked at Xia Wei in front of him.
You must know that his monthly income is only 150,000 Mora, and the young merchant from the Solstice in front of him is willing to give him 180,000 yuan for nothing, and also provides new and interesting stories.
If you calculate carefully, his income has tripled, and it is definitely not a loss!
What made Roach most unbelievable was that a Solstice merchant would make such a loss-making deal.
"Let me add, in addition to these, you also enjoy a variety of employee benefits, year-end bonuses, weekends and weekends, group travel..."Xia Wei said a lot more, which made Roach's jaw fall to the ground.
"Are you telling the truth? Is it really such a good thing? Rocky still suspected that he was dreaming.
"I don't have to lie to you, but you need to sign a contract, and you will be responsible for compensating me for my losses if you violate the provisions of the contract." Xia Wei said indifferently.
He asked Agatya to fetch a piece of paper and a pen, write and draw on the paper, and finally drew up more than a dozen contract regulations.
Seeing this, Luo Qi couldn't help but be vigilant, could it be that the Solstice merchant in front of him wanted to trick him into breaking the contract and then get a high amount of compensation? Sure enough, the people of the Winter Kingdom are all such virtuous.
Luo Qi carefully took the paper from Xia Wei's hand and read it carefully with a scrutinizing gaze.
But after reading it, he was shocked, there was no problem with this treaty, it was basically for him to fulfill his obligations and protect Xia Wei's own interests, and there were no little tricks in it that harmed him.
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, unlike other Solstice merchants, I won't do things that harm others for my own benefit." Xia Wei said calmly.
"It's really great! When can I start work? Seeing Xia Wei's sincerity, Luo Qi let down his vigilance a little.
"You can start tomorrow, but the story I promised won't be given to you until seven days later, no problem, right?" Xia asked with a smile.
"No problem, no problem, no problem at all!" Arch thanked him and left the deer hunter after making sure there was nothing else to do.
Xia Wei put Agasya in the position where Roach had just been, and then said, "Agasya, I want you to recruit nine more bards like that in Mondstadt, and let them sit in different areas of Mondstadt, on the same terms as I just promised, can you do it?" ”
"It can be, it's just... Aren't you really going to lose money by doing this? Agaxia was a little skeptical about Xia Wei's decision just now, how could the bard make money?
Xia Wei smiled relaxedly, and after a month, he should give me Mora, and I don't have to give him Mora.
"Why? Didn't you promise 180,000 Mora? And also signed a contract..."Agatya couldn't understand Xia Wei's words.
Xia Wei didn't answer directly, but just replied with a mysterious smile, "You'll know when the time comes." ”
After lunch, Xia Wei returned to the house that Agaxia had purchased in Mondstadt to write the story, and Agaxia was an efficient employee in Mondstadt looking for the employees Xia Wei needed.
Under extremely favorable working conditions, from the very beginning, Agaxia took the initiative to find these bards to find Agaxia.
So much so that she was now standing in the square of the Mondstadt Fountain, scrutinizing the dozen bards in front of her.
In the end, she picked out a few with better looks, better voices, and proficient in musical instruments.
There's no way that women are born to like to look good, although these people are not as handsome as the apprentice, but it is enough to make the apprentice barely satisfied.
One of the most satisfying was a bard named Wendy, who seemed to be very popular in Mondstadt, cheering him on by far more than any other bard.
"I heard that you are very popular, so you don't lack Mora at all, so why did you come back to run?" Agaxia asked curiously about the green-clothed young man beside her.
"The Mora I earned is not enough to buy a few bottles of good wine, how can I live without wine!" Wendy held the bottle in her hand with a lamenting expression.
Now Agasya immediately understood that this guy was an alcoholic, and since this was the case, there was no need to communicate more.
After reminding Wendy seven days later, Agatya left early in the morning when she came to wait at the deer hunter's door.
Wendy, who stayed here, sat on the edge of the fountain and shook the bottle in his hand, "I'm looking forward to the stories you promised... And the people who wrote the story, don't let me down. ”
In a carriage in the distance, Diluc, dressed in a black trench coat, took in everything he had just done, and he asked the coachman outside, "What did those bards gather there just now?" ”
The coachman explained in a respectful tone, "A merchant from the Solstice sent his subordinates to recruit these bards..."
The coachman told Diluc what he had just heard.
Memories of five years ago came back to my mind, and the voice of the mysterious masked man seemed to linger in my ears.
"Do you think it's feasible for me to write some stories and license them to the bards?"
"What if I recruit these bards as employees and work with them? I provide stories, they hand over half of their income, and find someone to manage them specifically. How's that? ”
Diluc was silent, and after a long time, he exhaled deeply and said, "Find the owner of the woman just now, provide an investment of 10 million Mora, don't leak my information, and don't ask for anything in return." ”
The coachman was shocked, and he asked in disbelief, "Master Diluc, you're not kidding!" ”
Diluc's face was expressionless, "I'm never joking, you just do what I say." ”
"Yes, Master Diluc, I see." The coachman did not question again, but slowly drove the carriage.
Diluc sighed as he looked at the back of Agasya leaving, "I have the same thoughts as you... Then invest a little, and I hope you can see it too..."
Time passed quickly, Xia Wei stretched his waist and stood up from his desk, after an afternoon of hard work, he successfully wrote the first ten chapters of Breaking the Sky that he had read before, hoping that this story would shine in Teyvat.
At this time, Xia Wei's door was suddenly knocked again, and it was still Agaxia.
"Mr. Xia Wei, your request has been completed, and they will be waiting for you at the door of the Deer Hunter Restaurant in seven days." Agaxia said respectfully.
"Okay, I see, it's efficient." Xia Wei simply agreed, and then sorted out the paper on the table and put it away, then he thought of something and asked, "Oh yes, how are things handled in the machinery factory?" ”
