Chapter 31 Spokesperson
Xu Yi left the research room of the great magician Camilla in dismay.
When I saw the magic air conditioner just now, Xu Yi remembered that when he was researching the magic air conditioner, he had consulted the great magician Camilla several times, and obtained a lot of suggestions for the improvement of the frost and cold magic circle from him. , to invite the great magician Camilla to be his own research consultant, then with the super magic power of His Excellency the great magician, many problems can be easily solved.
When Xu Yi found the great magician Camilla, the negotiation was good at first, and even the great magician Camilla agreed to Xu Yi's request to help him complete some magic that could not be done with his magical strength temporarily. However, when Xu Yi proposed that he could pay some gold coins as a reward, the great magician Camilla changed his face instantly, slapped the table angrily, pointed directly at the door and told Xu Yi to get out, not even giving him a chance to explain. he.
"Does this great magician Camilla have any grudge against Qian?" Xu Yi couldn't help but wondered to himself.
Although he has long known that the great magician Camilla does not like to combine magic research and business, he never thought that he would not like to see such a situation.
"Hey, uncle, what are you doing with your frowning face? Does anyone owe you money?" A beautiful voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"No one owes me money, and I'm only twenty-seven years old this year. Don't always call me uncle, okay?" Xu Yi glared at Steele angrily.
The night passed, and the current Steele's face no longer showed any signs of loss like last night, and he regained the appearance of a young and energetic girl.
Of course, her weight loss is still obvious, but it cannot be completely recovered overnight.
"Who told you to always say I'm a child?" Steele snorted, looked at the research room dedicated to the great magician behind Xu Yi, and asked in a low voice, "What? Did you make grandpa angry?"
Xu Yi depressedly told Steele about the situation he had just met, which caused her to laugh loudly without any scruples.
"Haha, you deserve it! You already knew that my grandfather didn't like this, and you have to ask him for a reward. Isn't this self-inflicted."
"Hey, how did I know he would hate it so much." Xu Yi sighed and couldn't help asking: "Steel, what is the reason for your disapproval of the Great Mage? None of them will refuse."
"Want to know?" Steele gave a sly smile. "You can't do it without paying a price."
Xu Yi shrugged and glanced at the sky outside the magic tower: "It's not time for dinner, how about I invite you out for afternoon tea?"
After ordering two cold drinks at a snack bar near the Magic Tower, Steele told Xu Yi the whole story.
It turned out that the great magician Camilla had brought several apprentices before, and had high hopes for two of them, feeling that as long as they worked hard, sooner or later, they would become powerful magicians, perhaps even surpassing themselves.
But later, these apprentices did not stand up to the abuse of money. They were hired by several big chambers of commerce with high salaries at a young age and became one of the guards of those chambers of commerce. From then on, magic research was abandoned. No progress.
The great magician Camilla felt very distressed about their situation, and at the same time hated the actions of those chambers of commerce. After many accumulations, they gradually formed the current attitude.
"Since Grandpa saw your magic fan, he thought that your magic talent was also very good, and he had high expectations for you, but you not only refused him to accept you as an apprentice, but also set up a chamber of commerce yourself, of course. He was very disappointed. Let me tell you, if it wasn't for Grandpa who still had hope for you, and if your magical strength had indeed been improving, I would have driven you out of the magic tower long ago, how could it be possible to let you I can see him at any time, and even help you solve magic problems? Now that you have come to discuss business cooperation with him, do you think he can not be angry? So if I say you deserve it, don’t believe it.”
Regarding Steele's final conclusion, Xu Yi could only smack his lips, but had nothing to say.
"It's a pity, I originally wanted to invite Your Excellency the Great Mage to be the chief researcher of our Chamber of Commerce, and I even hoped to invite him to endorse the products of our Chamber of Commerce. If you say so, isn't it hopeless?" Xu Also helpless.
"Are you dreaming?" Steele glared at Xu Yi, and then asked curiously, "But what do you mean by chief researcher and endorsement? Why have I never heard of it?"
"The chief researcher... In fact, it is to help me do some research on the magic circle that the magic machine needs to use. Because your grandfather is the great magician and the strongest, so of course you can directly become the chief. Well, the meaning of the chief , is number one, boss, you should understand."
"What about endorsements? It's the first time I've heard this word. What does it mean?"
"Endorsements...it's a bit complicated to say." Xu Yi sorted out the general situation of celebrity endorsements on earth in his mind, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The so-called endorsement is to invite someone to be our chamber of commerce for these products. Spokesperson. Specifically, this person can be used to replace the image of certain products, and this person can be used as the image representative of the product, and then everyone will think of the product endorsed by him after seeing this person. The person who acts as the spokesperson should have a good image of himself, and it is best to have a certain reputation, so that by knowing this person, everyone will indirectly know the product, which is a combined publicity method."
"If the endorsed product is not good, won't it damage the image of this endorser?" Steele immediately asked back.
Xu Yi was startled: "You are quick enough to respond. That's right, this is a means of combining each other. Both the product and the spokesperson have an influence on each other. Not only does a problem with the product affect the image of the spokesperson, but if there is a problem with the spokesperson, it will also affect the image of the spokesperson. It will affect the products. So whether it is the spokesperson or the chamber of commerce that chooses the spokesperson, it will be carefully considered."
"It's a good idea for you to choose my grandfather as the spokesperson." Steele snorted softly. "My grandfather is a great magician and is well-known in the entire Lampari Kingdom. If everyone knows that his old man suddenly endorsed something, they must inquire what it is. Besides, my grandfather has always been an upright person. , the image is very good.”
"That's why I thought of asking him to speak for him." Xu Yi spread his hands and said regretfully, "But judging from the current attitude of Your Excellency the Great Mage, I'm afraid that this endorsement doesn't need to be mentioned to him at all. Definitely not going to agree."
"Damn he'll agree." Steele nodded. Glancing at Xu Yi, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Xu Yi, since you asked someone to speak for you, you must pay that spokesperson?"
"Of course, how can anyone work for nothing?"
"Then can I ask, how much are you going to pay?"
"This is not necessarily, it depends on who the spokesperson is. Generally speaking, the greater the reputation and the better the image, the higher the reward will be. If it is Your Excellency the Great Magician, I was going to give him a year. The endorsement fee of 1,000 gold coins..."
"One thousand gold coins?" Before Xu Yi could finish speaking, Steele's eyes widened and he exclaimed exaggeratedly. "So much? Just an endorsement?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Steele looked at Xu Yi strangely. "Hey, Xu Yi, your magic fan doesn't seem to sell a lot. How can you give my grandpa a thousand gold coins in one mouth? Do you have that much money?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "This is what you don't understand, right? This is called advertising investment, and it is a very cost-effective investment. This thousand gold coins seems a lot, but if you consider the benefits brought by the Great Mage , in fact, it's nothing at all." Speaking of which, Xu Yi couldn't help but sighed again. "Unfortunately, Your Excellency the Great Mage will not agree at all. What I say is in vain. By the way, Steele, do you have any familiar Great Mage? How about introducing me?"
Steele frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I know a few great magicians through my grandfather, but Xu Yi, I have to tell you the truth, these great magicians probably don't look down on your little one. From the Chamber of Commerce, you should die of this heart.”
"I think so too." Xu Yi laughed at himself. "My chamber of commerce doesn't have anything yet, and it's normal for those distinguished great magicians to dislike it." Putting this matter down, Xu Yi suddenly remembered another thing. "By the way, Steele, Vivian said that when you were leaving, let her tell me and let me come to you. You have something to talk to me about. What is it?"
"Well, there is indeed something, but I now find that it seems to have been resolved." Steele smiled. "Originally, I wanted to ask you if you could find me something to do. I'm busy with my grandfather every day, and it's not interesting, but you always look busy. Maybe you can give me something to do. Find something to do."
Xu Yi looked at Steele seriously, thinking that this guy suddenly wanted to find something to do, did he want to heal the wound in his heart through work?
"It's okay if you want to find something to do. For example, I just said that I want to invite your grandfather to be the chief researcher. In fact, it is because I plan to have a magic circle research laboratory dedicated to the Chamber of Commerce in the city. If you are interested, you can come here. Do research on magic circles and help me complete new products."
"I am really interested in this job, and I was indeed going to let you arrange this kind of job for me. But after hearing what you just said, I think another job is more interesting." Steele He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"What job?"
Steele sat up slowly, showing a bright smile full of sunshine, slightly moving his two rows of silver teeth and teeth, and said softly: "Xu Yi, what do you think, let me be the spokesperson of your chamber of commerce?"
