Volume 2 Chapter 98 Extravagant worries
Just saying that Great Magician Camilla did this for advertisement was far from being enough.
When Xu Yi specially announced at a press conference held by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that Great Magician Camilla would be joining the magic research facility, becoming the top grade research staff for the facility, it caused all the reporters to jump out of their seats in shock.
And when the newspapers spread this news as fast as possible, everyone’s first reaction to this piece of news was disbelief.
What kind of person was a Great Magician, how could he work for a company?
This was definitely a joke!
But when this news was confirmed, everyone was speechless in shock.
What concept was a Great Magician?
On this Sines Continent that hadn’t had a Great Magus in many years, this was the strongest magician under an Arch Magus!
Even in the two super large empires, a Great Magician was someone that was aloof and was respected by everyone.
In a small kingdom like the Lampuri Kingdom, because there were no Arch Magi, the five Great Magicians represented all the magicians in the Lampuri Kingdom.
It could be said that any Great Magician was an important existence in the Lampuri Kingdom, there were even many people who felt that Great Magicians were on the same level as the king.
So when Great Magician Camilla announced that he was joining the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, this created a large shock in the Lampuri Kingdom.
Not only did all the magicians in the Lampuri Kingdom care about this matter, everyone in the kingdom that learned of this matter focused on it.
And in this matter, the other lead was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and naturally it attracted everyone’s attention.
Although the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had some fame because of their new magic machines, before this, there weren’t many people who understood the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
This was because even if people bought the Frestech Brand magic machines, not many cared about what the company that made the magic machine was called.
But with this matter, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s name spread to every corner of the Lampuri Kingdom.
Think about it, even the Great Magician was willing to work for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so this company had to be incredible!
If one was to measure based on advertising effect, with the news of Great Magician Camilla joining the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, the most direct effect the Frestech Chamber of Commerce received was that in less than half a month, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce received countless orders for their magic machines.
And for some magic machines that had a wide range of uses, the orders during this time was more than the total orders over the past three months!
Even the Magic Fan and the Magic Refrigerator that were out of season, they instantly received a large amount of orders.
It could be said that just with this decision from Great Magician Camilla, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had earned a shocking profit of over a million gold coins!
Speaking of advertisements, were there advertisements with this kind of terrifying effect?
Of course, with the output potential of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, it would take quite a bit of time to digest these orders. So strictly speaking, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce couldn’t earn this much in a short period of time.
Of course, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had become famous all over the Lampuri Kingdom because of this matter.
The ones that came to place orders with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce were actually merchants from Phoenix City, that was to the northeast of the kingdom and over seven hundred kilometers away from Banta City!
The benefits the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gained were not just that. Putting aside the most direct benefits, because of the sudden decision from Great Magician Camilla, it attracted the curiosity of the magicians of the Lampuri Kingdom and even of the entire Sines Continent.
Just what kind of attraction did this Frestech Chamber of Commerce have? It could even get a Great Magician to work for them?
Before Great Magician Camilla was a special magic advisor for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce which wasn’t anything special. There were many companies that wanted to give Great Magicians titles and hope that relying on this title, they could receive some support from the Great Magician.
Even if the title the Frestech Chamber of Commerce gave Great Magician Camilla was a bit strange, it was still within the acceptable range.
But it was completely different from Great Magician Camilla joining the Frestech Chamber of Commerce because like this, it meant Great Magician Camilla was being employed by the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. He would become the official employee of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
Although there would be no company that was arrogant enough to treat a Great Magician as a subordinate, but for the Great Magician to do this, this was without a doubt lowering his status.
It had to be known that even if the king of the Lampuri Kingdom wanted a Great Magician’s help, he had to be polite and show his respect for the Great Magician. Not to mention a small company?
After this news spread, the magicians of the Lampuri Kingdom and other countries of the Sines Continent headed to the small Banta City, looking for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of charm the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had that could cause Great Magician Camilla to make this decision.
And among them, there were some magicians that had the same thought.
“This Frestech Chamber of Commerce can even get a Great Magician to join, so it should be attractive enough to me, right?”
So in the half a month after the press conference, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce received countless magicians.
After making sure what kind of conditions and treatment the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would give them, there were many magicians that were neutral who were moved. They expressed their wishes to join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magic research facility.
Even those First and Second Grade Magicians who weren’t strong enough to join the magic research facility asked about whether the Frestech Chamber of Commerce was recruiting magicians to draw Magic Arrays on magic machines. They all showed their willingness to join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory.
There were some low level magicians that joined the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory before shared their experiences. The magicians knew that by doing some simple work at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s factory, they could earn over twenty gold coins a month.
This income was something that many low level magicians never even dreamed of before.
In an instant, Xu Yi’s problem of lacking magicians was solved just like that and there was even a bit of an excess.
Actually there were just too many magicians that came to Banta City to ask about the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. With the current scale of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they couldn’t take all these magicians. After some careful consideration from Xu Yi, he declined the requests of some magicians to join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce.
For Xu Yi who had been worried about finding magicians to work at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce before, this was quite the extravagant action.
It would have been fine if Xu Yi didn’t reject them, but because he did, it made those people who had little understanding of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce feel it was a very special place. That gave them the confidence in rejecting those people who came to apply, so it made them even more enthusiastic.
As for this situation, it was quite a headache for Xu Yi because he really wanted to take all these magicians in and prepare them as reserves.
But with the current output scale of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, they didn’t need all these magicians and raising them for nothing would be a large burden.
Moreover, for Xu Yi, in the magic research facility, the quality of the magician was more important than the quantity of magicians when it came to staff members.
There were quite the number of magicians that applied to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. The strongest of them was even a Seventh Grade Magician, who was a bit stronger than Xu Yi.
Of the remaining magicians, most of them were Third Grade or lower magicians. Only a small half of them were Fourth Grade or higher, who were qualified to join the magic research facility.
Compared to recruiting a hundred Fourth or Fifth Grade Magicians, Xu Yi would rather recruit a Great Magician who was on the same level or higher than Great Magician Camilla.
Of course, this was a wish that wouldn’t come true.
Great Magician Camilla chose to join the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, other than going back to Mildan Village and seeing the improvements to the lives of the villagers, most of it was because of Still and Xu Yi’s relationship.
Otherwise, with his status as a Great Magician, joining a company would just require a single word from him and all the companies would line up for him to choose.
So Xu Yi gave up this fantasy and worked to solve this problem.
These magicians came to a small city like Banta City with great difficulty, so if he didn’t seize this chance to keep them here, it would be too much of a pity.
So Xu Yi used his identity as the president of the Banta City Magic Machine Business Union to hold a meeting. He talked to the representatives of the other companies, hoping that they could use this chance to recruit magicians to their companies.
There were over ten companies that were producing magic machines that were worrying about their lack of magicians, so they already wanted to recruit these magicians before Xu Yi even said anything.
They thought that these magicians would all head to the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so it wasn’t good for them to make a move.
But with what Xu Yi said, how could these companies still hold back?
In less than a month, of all the magicians that came to Banta City, as long as they were interested in studying magic machines, they were all taken in by the large companies.
In the final report by the City Lord’s Manor, with the wave attracted by Great Magician Camilla joining the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, Banta City had suddenly gained over three thousand magicians!
Of course, this was not all good news.
For example, her highness Seveni who had arrived in Banta City again scared Xu Yi with the first thing she said after meeting him.
“Xu Yi, you hired all these magicians, could it be that you want to use them to revolt?”
