Chapter 54 The Discipline of the Elf Race
"Thirty percent?" Elder Elushia's expression changed, and he thought about it and asked: "President Xu, can I ask, how serious is the loss to your Chamber of Commerce?"
"According to the contract signed before, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce delayed the production of a small number of magic fans, resulting in a batch of orders that were not completed within the deadline, so we paid the other party a penalty of 3,000 gold coins." Xu Yi replied.
Elder Elushia showed a sincere apology on his face: "I'm sorry, President Xu, I will find a way to make up for the loss caused to your Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Yi stared at Elder Elushia for a while, then slowly shook his head and sighed: "Elder Elushia, in fact, the loss of three thousand gold coins is nothing to our Chamber of Commerce. In comparison, it is Your tribe has suffered even more."
Elder Elushia looked at Xu Yi in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"First, this time because the products delivered by your Night Song tribe have defective products, then according to the contract, the losses caused by these defective products should be borne by your Night Song Tribe. According to the general trend of our human merchants As a rule, you should also pay our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce enough gold coins for this."
Elder Elushia simply nodded and said, "That's right, but our tribe doesn't have enough gold coins to repay for the time being..."
"We'll talk about this later." Xu Yi waved his hand and said solemnly: "Second, this time, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce entrusted your Yege tribe to help our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce complete the production of 20,000 plastic casings for magic fans, but you delivered them. However, there is a defective rate of more than 30% in the products. According to the rules of human beings, our chamber of commerce will have serious doubts about the ability of your Night Song tribe. Even if there are similar orders in the future, I will basically not consider coming again. Find your Nightsong Tribe to complete it."
Elder Elushia was silent for a while. It was a little difficult to say: "I understand, this is a reputation issue."
It was undoubtedly a very difficult decision for an elven tribe to admit that their tribe had a reputation problem in front of a human they had previously agreed that they had no reputation to speak of, but Elder Elushia admitted this very honestly.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Elder Elushia in her heart. If it wasn't for the sake of finding a way out for the Nightsong tribe and even the entire elf tribe, she would never let go of the arrogance of the elf tribe and be honest about the shortcomings of the elf tribe.
"The last point, but the most crucial point. From the production of the plastic casing this time, I discovered a big problem with your Nightsong tribe, or the elves, and that is..." Having said this, Xu Yi But he stopped, hesitated for a long time, and didn't say anything.
Elder Elushia smiled slightly: "Please don't be hesitant, just say it directly."
Xu Yi glanced at her, paused, and then nodded: "Okay, then I'll just talk about it. This is the problem. The elves generally seem to be very casual. Or to use a more direct word to describe it, it is very ...no discipline."
After speaking. Xu Yi looked at Elder Elushia nervously.
He wasn't sure how the other party would react to hearing such unceremonious criticism of their entire race.
However, Elder Elushia's reaction was far beyond his expectations.
After hearing this comment, Elder Elushia was stunned for a while, and then fell into deep thought for a long time.
After thinking deeply this time, he actually thought about it for more than half an hour, until Xu Yi's legs were a little numb, and Elder Elushia seemed to wake up suddenly, and Xu Yi smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I suddenly think about things from a long time ago, and I am a little distracted."
"A long time ago?" Xu Yi was speechless.
According to Elder Elushia's age, what he said was a long time ago, maybe it was the past hundreds of years ago.
That's really long ago...
"President Xu, I carefully recalled your comment just now, and suddenly realized that in fact, in the language of our elves, the word discipline has never been used. This word appeared later, and it was learned from you humans. .But...we elves have never understood the meaning of this word." Elder Elushia said solemnly.
Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "I don't understand the meaning of this word? What does it mean?"
"That is to say..." A bitter smile appeared on Elder Elushia's face. "We elves have no discipline from the beginning."
Xu Yi was stunned for a while.
In the rumors about the elves on the Sainz continent, the most adjectives are beautiful, elegant, mysterious, powerful, arrogant... But no one has ever linked the word discipline with the elves.
As for the reason why human beings were able to win the dominance of this continent from the elves thousands of years ago, the human beings later concluded that it was time to change the owner of this continent, and human beings came into being, relying on unique creation. With his strength and super learning ability, he finally took control of the entire continent.
But the failure of the elves is rarely mentioned.
Now hearing Elder Elushia's words, Xu Yi seemed to have suddenly caught something.
It's just that Elder Elushia didn't give Xu Yi more time to think. She suddenly stood up and said to Xu Yi, "President Xu, please come with me. Let's see how those clansmen are making these plastic casings. , and how did the defective product rate exceed 30%."
Looking at the back of Elder Elushia walking towards the door, Xu Yi suddenly felt a chill in her body that she had never felt before.
Leaving the Yesong tribe's settlement surrounded by a few big trees, and walking out for about 100 meters, a large open space the size of a standard football field appeared in the Forest of Falling Rain.
In this open space, there are more than one hundred elves busy at this time.
Looking from the left, you will see a strong male elf running out of the jungle from time to time, holding a large glass bottle in his hand, coming to the left of the open space and pouring it into a huge porcelain jar.
The hot air rose from the large porcelain jar, and the resinous rosin kept bubbling out.
As the temperature gradually increased, the green light that represented the magic circle in the lower part of the large porcelain jar kept flashing, and the impurities inside the resin were gradually separated and floated on the surface.
After all the impurities were processed, the wizard next to them took out the impurities and poured the resin in the large porcelain jar into another container.
Another elf added an unknown bluish powder into it, and after constant stirring and tumbling, the light yellow value that was originally dissolved became a little viscous, and the color gradually turned light blue.
Finally, under the guidance of the rest of the elves, these prepared resins flowed into the molds that had been prepared, and after a period of natural cooling, they formed a molded magic fan shell.
Although the whole process looks rough and simple, under the special magic of elves, the final plastic shell is of better quality than those processed by plastic factories on earth.
And because of the nature of elves, these resins are processed into plastic shells, which can still maintain the fragrance of the resins, instead of having a unique odor like ordinary plastics.
At first glance, there is no problem in the entire processing process, and the elves are completing their work in an orderly manner.
But if you watch it for a while, you will find that from time to time, some elves who are working will stop working, walk around, and even sing and dance.
The rest of the elves were not at all surprised by this situation. There was even one elves who seemed to be a little too excited when adding additives to the raw materials, and threw a large amount into them.
And he actually let this batch of raw materials enter the next process, and the final plastic shell was obviously deformed.
If you look at the final forming process, you will find something even more surprising.
Several elves, who seemed to be idle and bored, actually surrounded the shell that was gradually forming in the mold. After discussing it for a while, one of the elves then picked up a branch on the ground and placed it on the shell that was not fully formed. Start gesturing.
After he finished the action, perhaps because he thought the pattern he drew on it was beautiful, the elves clapped happily.
The muscles on Xu Yi's face couldn't help twitching twice.
Although he had already guessed from the high defective rate of over 30% of the plastic casings, the elves must be not very strict in the production of these plastic casings, but he never thought that these elves were in serious production. In the process, it will actually come to this point casually!
If it were the human workers in the factories of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as in the situation just now, Xu Yi would definitely dismiss all these guys without saying a word!
She turned her head and glanced at Elder Elushia, and found that her face was still calm, but her frowning brows still revealed that her mood at the moment was definitely not much better.
Both of them are under the influence of Elder Elushia's hidden shadow technique, but don't worry about being discovered by the elves over there.
But looking at the performance of these elves in this way is really not a pleasant feeling.
"President Xu, how do the human workers work in the factory of your chamber of commerce?" Elder Elushia asked suddenly.
Xu Yi glanced at the elves in the distance who didn't look serious at all, and shook his head: "It's not clear, but it's definitely not like them."
"Really?" Elder Elushia pondered for a moment, then continued: "President Xu, in fact, I don't really understand what discipline means. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the clansmen looked before, but After talking with you today, I found that this seems to be wrong. But I don't know how to change it. President Xu, do you have any good solutions?"
"Do you really want to change them?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes."
"That's easy, teach them to me. There is a very simple way to change them, and that is..." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yi's mouth. "Special training." (To be continued..)
