Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 280 278: Invitation (Subscription Request)
It has to be said that the arrival of a group of old friends saved Luo Yi’s bad mood.

When there was a smile on his face, even the servants and maids at Lion Manor felt a lot brighter.

Butler Hoover prepared a sumptuous banquet, and everyone ate and drank while chatting and laughing loudly.

Their topic of conversation always revolves around the city of Oakland, the Philante School of Magic, and the events that happened there.
And those who are alive or dead.

Maruna cried!
A middle-aged man cried like a baby. He thought of his wife, the gentle and strong woman who always gave him the greatest comfort when he was tired.

But such a gentle woman died at the hands of the Bloody Mary Pirates. Whenever he thought of her, her voice, appearance and smile seemed to appear in his dreams.

Mira also talked about the past with a smile, talking about the first time she met Luo Yi.

At that time, there were three distant relatives of the Greenman family who inherited the estate, but she was the only one who chose to depend on him without hesitation after meeting Roy.

Then, there is the current Jin Tieer, the chief financial officer of Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group. If people knew about the life she spends under her, it would scare many people to death.

And her two relatives, the elder Sam Greenman, had already died.

If one suddenly obtains huge wealth but does not have the power to protect it, he will of course become the target of thieves and robbers.

I heard that he died at the gambling table. When he died, even his clothes were stripped off and he froze to death.

As for the young man Evan Greenman, he is much smarter.

He took the inheritance back to his hometown, where he became a wealthy man for a long time.

It's a pity that he failed to keep his original intention in the end. After he had a large amount of wealth, he started to show off and seek attention.

He thought that the mercenaries and detectives he hired would ensure his safety, but he didn't expect that it was the collusion between those mercenaries and detectives that cost him his life.

A fire burned his house to ashes, along with his body.

And his wealth had long been divided up among mercenaries and detectives.

This is the consequence of a poor person suddenly becoming rich. Only she chose the most correct path and moved up to a high position step by step.

Whenever she thought of this, even Mira, who was so calm, couldn't help but sigh.

Lien Vasquez also boasted about the past.

As a third-level transcendent, he had experienced quite a few battles, and had even escaped death many times.

He always used a large bow to break out of desperate situations.

However, he thought that his bravest moment was when he questioned Roy and Oliveira on Guano Island.

The ambush and being ambushed by the Bloody Mary and the Imperial warships entangled them, making him think they were being used as bait, but they were eventually taught a lesson by Loy.

Thinking about it now, his rebellious look in front of Roy and Oliveira was definitely the peak of his courage.

It has to be said that Lien Vasquez made everyone laugh with his exaggerated expressions and words, and also flattered Roy.

Then, Mrs. Linda also told an embarrassing story of her own.

At the beginning, Luo Yi bought a sacred lava crystal core with 10,000 gold tiers.

As a result, she slept for several nights with ten thousand gutierres of gold as a pillow, feeling the charm of wealth, before she reluctantly handed it over.

Thinking about it now, it’s so ridiculous!

As for Douglas Hill, he talked about the scene of his first visit to Prosperity Manor and attending a banquet.

That time, he was very aggressive and ready to cause trouble.

As the second-in-command of the Moonstone Mage Tower and the Imperial Mechanic, he gave Luo Yi a good beating.

As a result, Luo Yi won his heart with just a few words, and finally they reached a cooperation.

That was the proudest collaboration in his life, and his current status and position all started from this.

Perhaps, Luo Yi has this kind of charm that can turn enemies into friends.

Everyone's lively chat eliminated the last bit of strangeness after not seeing each other for a long time, and the laughter became louder and louder.

Even Oliveira came out from his meditation room to meet everyone, and his cold and indifferent face softened a lot.

On the second day, Luo Yi started to take everyone to visit the Flower Territory.

They walked north and arrived at the foot of the Dome Mountains. From afar, they saw mountains suddenly rising and falling on the flat land.

The mountains are stacked one upon another, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the beauty is so fascinating that you will never want to leave.

They also went east along the road and arrived at Sunset Town, where they saw the scenery of "the setting sun over the long river".

And, galloping on horseback in the racecourse.

Thousands of horses galloping and the sound of hooves rumbling is also a majestic scene.

Luo Yi also picked a warhorse with Warcraft blood for each of them and asked them to take it back to Auckland City.

They then followed the Ruhr River and saw endless fields and flower gardens, all carefully tended by the people.

It must be the right season, the fields are barren and the flowers are withered, otherwise it would be a beautiful sight that would make one linger.

In the east of the city, Loy also took them to Raymond's new school.

Those inside were all second sons and illegitimate sons sent by various families. Of course, there were also eldest sons with inheritance rights, but their number was very small.

There are more than 400 people in total, all of whom were earned through the military merits of their fathers.

Here they will learn magical knowledge, basic meditation, the basics of magical machinery, and even magic gunner training, etc.

The initial learning should be more complicated, mainly through cramming education, to determine in which areas these people are more talented or more interested!
After three or four months, when they have learned the basics of meditation, they will have to study it in depth.

At that time, you will no longer be in school, but will have to fill different positions.

Roy is short of outstanding talents.

Therefore, he adopted the method of forcing the growth of this group of people, with theoretical knowledge taking a back seat and skills being learned through practice. Of course, although that was the case, the teaching materials were provided by the Habsburg Empire, and the soul-fixing spices required for basic meditation were also sufficient.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to get started with meditation even in three to five months.

Of course, this is not enough. Roy has actually been making every effort to expand the number of workers.

Even though there are not so many positions and so many people needed at this stage, we can still start training first.

These people, in fact, are not like the subjects of the Habsburg Empire. Most of them have not received basic education, and their training has to start with literacy and arithmetic, which is not easy and takes longer.

Of course, the population of Flower Territory is still relatively abundant. Decades of stable rule by Count Karl has led to an overpopulation in the territory.

At this stage, Loyi's goal is to transform this excess population into workers.

Before the full-scale industrialization process was launched, there was no need to touch the population of the nobles on the land, which could also ease the conflict.

It must be said that Luo Yi had never been so serious and looked at his territory so comprehensively. Now that he was leading his old friends, he could take a good look at the actual situation of the area he ruled.

Of course, the most important thing is the factories, railways, mines that are still under construction, as well as the textile mills and secret medicine factories that have already begun to make profits...

Douglas, Linda, Maruna, Mira, all of them are engaged in work related to the magic energy industry.
Naturally, the part they understand best and are most interested in is the magic energy industry.

They each had their own evaluation angles and ideas, and they gave Luo Yi a lot of suggestions.

For example, Mrs. Linda helped streamline the processes at the secret medicine factory and established standards for each link, helping to improve the quality of the secret medicine.

For example, Douglas Hill spent a long time around the unbuilt steel plant and provided a set of process manuals for departments, workstations, and even specific operations.

This is what he summarized from the steel plant in Oakland City. It is all the experience accumulated bit by bit during the actual operation.

It seems that any manager can do these things, but in fact, they take a lot of time and energy.

As for Mira, she was busy behind the scenes with Butler Hoover, helping to sort out the complicated accounts.

Maruna ran around between several factories, relying on his status to severely crack down on the laziness of the employees.

Don’t think these are nothing. In fact, there is a saying that details determine success or failure.

Luo Yi is just one person after all, and cannot carry out in-depth management. Only with them around can the rules and regulations be implemented in depth.

And this is actually the reason why Luo Yi called them over. It is one thing for old friends to get together, but he also needs everyone's help.

Lion Manor,

Second floor, study.

Sofa area.

"Sit down, sit down, sit down!"

Roy waved his hand and asked Maruna, Mira Greenman and Lien Vasquez to sit down.

Then he personally poured three cups of black tea and pushed them in front of them.

The three of them felt flattered and straightened their backs unconsciously.

Luo Yi asked: "These days, you have also seen many things about the Flower Territory. I want you to tell me what you think?"

"this?"

The three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Luo Yi didn't give them a chance to shirk responsibility and directly called out, "Maruna, you go first?"

“If you ask me, even though everything is still under construction, as long as they are completed one by one, we can make a lot of money!

Gentil, who makes a lot of money, still from the Habsburg Empire!"

"I know all this, Maruna. I want you to ask questions, not flatter me! Tell me something useful..."

Maruna made a bitter face: "Then I told the truth?"

"Don't ink!"

“I think these factories have no management at all, that Xike Cruz is too busy and too high up.

What we need to do now is to delegate management to lower levels, select capable supervisors and factory managers, and clarify responsibilities at all levels.

If there is a production problem, the responsibility will be pursued at every level, otherwise, big problems will arise sooner or later.”

"That makes sense!"

Luo Yi nodded and looked at the next person: "Mira, what do you think?"

“The accounts are fairly clear, and Butler Hoover’s ability is unquestionable, but he is responsible for too many things.

The daily management of the manor, the hosting of banquets, the income and expenditure of the entire territory's wealth, the specific arrangements and implementation of various affairs, as well as the recruitment, training, and arrangement of personnel...

Oh my God! It's only because Butler Hoover is so energetic. If it were me, I wouldn't even have time to sleep."

"Lian Vasquez, what about you?"

Lien Vasks said a little embarrassedly: "I am a warrior. I don't know much about the magic industry!"

"But you must have your own ideas, so just tell me, it's okay."

“I think every factory is a labor-intensive industry, with many people working in a small factory.

If there is no security room to maintain order, all kinds of things will probably happen, such as petty theft, fighting and the like.

Also, the public security in Brussels is still based on the traditional city guard model, which is actually a bit backward.”

Luo Yi nodded in agreement: "You are all right, so, are you willing to stay and help me?"
