Chapter 6 Your safety is more important than anything else
The next few days.
Ron didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home and exercised his extraordinary abilities.
I want to move up the ranks quickly.
You need to do work related to your profession, the killer has to take orders to kill, and the pastor has to pray and bless you in the church.
Naturally, the repairman has to repair the machinery and equipment.
The nature of this upgrade is determined by the otherworldly class system.
Not by combat escalation.
It is also not possible to level up by practicing any meditation methods and breathing methods.
So at the moment, Ron can only be in the workshop, holding a hammer, constantly knocking on sheet metal.
Underneath the hammer is a deformed door.
This is the door of the original father's steam car, which he had smashed in the morning and dragged to the workshop to start repairs.
40! 40! 40!
As he tapped, the folded and dented metal doors were constantly being restored.
Even if he didn't use supernatural powers.
But the hammer in his hand is a derivative transcendent tool that needs to be driven by a steam core, and naturally has a trace of transcendent characteristics.
When the knock accumulated 1,600 dollars, the door was restored to its original state.
Place the door in the corner.
The hammer in Ron's hand turned into a wrench, and just as he was about to fix the engine, there was a knock on the workshop door.
"Young master, Mr. Woolf from the Machinery Factory is here, and I have something to report to you."
The maid's voice came in from outside.
Ron reluctantly put down the tools in his hand.
That's a lot going on.
This is not the first time.
In the past few days, many people have come to the door, some have climbed relationships, some have found the Witt family to cooperate, and some have introduced girlfriends to him.
He's very irritable.
But everyone came to the door, and he couldn't help but receive it.
Apart from him, only maids and other employees were left in the house, and they were not able to receive guests at all.
"Looks like we're going to get a butler later."
Ron thought to himself on the way to the meeting room.
"Master Ron, good morning."
When Woolf saw Ron, she stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite, sit down and say, what's the matter." Ron asked directly.
"Master Ron, it's like this, the steel mills that cooperate with the family have recently reduced production, the supply to us will be reduced, and the price of steel will also increase." Woolf replied immediately.
Ron frowned.
Is this someone going to do something again?
Wasn't Bishop West's warning enough?
"What is the main reason? Is it just for us Wittur, or for everyone? ”
"It's not for the family, the western border of the Principality of the Union has not been quiet recently, and the army has engaged in several skirmishes with the army of the Principality of Andy.
This has led to a reduction in production in the western mining area, and the transportation is not very convenient, so the steel mills can only follow the production reduction and price increase, and everyone is short of steel. ”
Woolf quickly explained that he didn't want Ron to misunderstand, and it would be bad if it caused family strife.
I see.
As long as it's not specifically for the Wittur family, don't worry.
Amazing, earn a little less.
Otherwise, the price of the steam engine will be directly increased, which is not a big deal anyway.
"Well...... So what do you think should be done? Ron asked.
"Young master, I think the war on the western border may be unavoidable, we should store more steel, I estimate that the price of steel may rise in the future."
"Okay, you write me a purchase report."
"Young master, this is a procurement report."
Ron looked at the purchase report handed over by the other party, and thought to himself, this is a prepared time.
Pick up the report and look through it.
Something awkward happened.
He did not know the metal on the statement, nor did he know the price.
What kind of metal is this 'hard metal'? It cost 30,000 gold a ton.
And what is this 'light metal', the price has even reached 80,000 gold dong a ton.
Ron pretended to look at it, and then asked, "After this purchase, with the capacity of the machinery factory, how long can it be used?" ”
"Young master, there are still orders for seven steam engines in the machinery factory, and after this purchase, it is enough to complete this batch of orders.
For the next order, I am going to increase the price and attach the cost of steel price increase to the price of the steam engine. ”
"Yes, just do as you say."
Ron nodded and signed the purchase form.
Wait for the other person to leave.
Instead of going back to the workshop to repair the car, he asked the driver to prepare the car, and he was going to hire a housekeeper.
There must be a butler.
The affairs of the family, the affairs of the machinery factory, the etiquette of the nobles, the inquiry of foreign news, etc.
He didn't have time for any of these things, and there had to be a housekeeper to help him do them.
As for the issue of loyalty.
Not so in the otherworldly world.
As long as you are willing to spend money, contract scrolls can be purchased at any time, and under the constraints of the rules, there is no need to worry about loyalty.
Once the other party harms his interests, he doesn't need to take action, and the power of the rules will instantly turn the other party into ashes.
"Young master, the car is ready."
"Hmm."
Ron took a ride to the Labor and Employment Guild.
It is equivalent to a complex of the earth's labor market + labor company + part of the logistics and insurance business.
Here you can hire workers, you can post tasks, you can apply for sponsorships, and the business is quite comprehensive.
"Dear sir, how can I help you?"
Seeing Ron get out of the car, the staff at the gate of the guild hurriedly greeted him and asked respectfully.
Of course, this also has to do with the sect insignia he wears on his chest.
Those who can wear the badge of the sect are either transcendent or noble.
Ordinary people don't even think about it.
"I need to find a housekeeper with excellent business skills, not too old, of course, not too young, must have received professional training, and work in similar work is preferred."
Ron said his request directly.
"Okay, sir, please come with me to the VIP room, and we will screen and arrange the personnel you need immediately."
Led by the staff, Ron came to the VIP room to rest.
Less than ten minutes.
Seven people were taken to the VIP room where he was.
All seven of them were between thirty and forty years old, and they were all very well-dressed.
"Mr. Ron, this is their information, please take a look."
Whew......
Ron looked through the profiles of several people, all of them graduated from the housekeeper academy, and they all worked in service after that.
For example, the VIP room attendant of the auction house, the VIP butler of the high-end hotel, the VIP room attendant of the cruise ship, etc.
As for the housekeeper's work, none of them have done it.
After all, this profession is special.
Generally, there are only two ends.
Well done, keep doing it.
I didn't do it well and was killed by the head of the house.
After all, the housekeeper knows too many things, and there is no such thing as a bad way to get out.
"The conditions of several of you are okay, and I'm not too picky, so let's talk about the situation of the Witt family, you can think about it."
After reading the information, Ron briefly talked about the situation of the Witt family, mainly to tell them what the general work would be in the future.
After listening to his words, the eyes of several people lit up.
It was a great opportunity for them to become the stewards of the Wittur family.
Naturally, it is impossible to give up.
So, no one left the room, they all stood still, waiting for Ron's choice.
How to choose?
Ron looked at a few people, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Tell me what to do first if you become a housekeeper." ”
After a brief moment's thought, they began to answer his question.
"I will contact the housekeepers of each nobleman as soon as possible, re-establish the communication channel of the family, and ensure the exchange of news between the nobles."
"I'll go to the Steam and Mechanic Sect to strengthen the relationship between the family and the sect."
"I will sort out the family files and information, understand the overall family industry and situation, and then determine the focus of work."
"I'll increase my ......"
Several people answer the questions in turn.
Everyone's answer makes sense.
But the last man's words exceeded his expectations.
"I will strengthen the protection work as soon as possible, hire security personnel for the head of the family, conduct a comprehensive security inspection of the family estate, and strengthen the manor's defense force."
The idea is interesting.
"Why do you want to strengthen my protection efforts first, and tell me your reasons?"
Ron asked curiously.
The other party immediately replied seriously: "According to your previous introduction, I have found a serious problem, that is, everything in the Witt family exists because of you, so your safety is more important than anything." ”
Good.
Very good.
This sentence said that Ron's heart went to the bottom of his heart.
"Very well, Mr. Pyro, I am satisfied with your answer. If you don't have any other questions, then we can sign a contract. ”
Ron made a direct decision and decided that he would be the butler.
"Thank you for your trust, and I will do everything I can to keep you safe." Pyro again emphasized the issue of security.
