Volu 1 Chapter 31 Spokesperson
Xu Yi left Great Magician Camilla’s lab covered in dust.
When he saw the Magic Air Conditioner earlier, Xu Yi rembered that when he studied the Magic Air Conditioner, he had consulted Great Magician Camilla several tis and obtained many modifications of the Frost Array from him. So he wanted to invite Great Magician Camilla to be his research adviser. With his excellency Great Magician’s powerful magic strength, there were many problems that could be easily solved.
When Xu Yi found Great Magician Camilla, their discussion at first was quite harmonious, with Great Magician Camilla even agreeing to Xu Yi’s request, temporarily giving so magic knowledge to solve so problem that he couldn’t solve. But when Xu Yi offered to pay him in gold coins for his services, Great Magician Camilla’s face instantly changed. He angrily slapped the table and pointed at the entrance to have Xu Yi scram, not giving him a chance to explain at all.
“This Great Magician Camilla, does he have so kind of grudge against money?” Xu Yi couldn’t help wondering about this.
Although he already knew that Great Magician Camilla didn’t mix magic research and business, he never thought that it would reach this kind of situation.
“Hey, uncle, what do you have a distressed look for? Does soone owe you money?” There was a beautiful voice that suddenly ca from beside him.
“Nobody owes money. Other than that, I’m only twenty seven years old, stop always calling uncle, alright?” Xu Yi snappily looked at Still.
After a single night, Still’s face didn’t show any sign of the heartbreak from last night and she recovered her youthful appearance.
Of course, she was still obviously a bit thinner. This was sothing that couldn’t be recovered in a single night.
“Who told you to always regard as a child?” Still gave a snort. Seeing the Great Magician’s exclusive laboratory behind Xu Yi, she asked in a low voice, “What? Did you make grandfather angry?”
Xu Yi told Still about the matter that made him depressed and it caused her to break out in laughter and teasing.
“Ha, ha, you deserve it! You already knew that my grandfather didn’t like these things, but you still propose paying him to him. Isn’t this just looking for trouble?”
“Ai, how could I have known he hated it this much.” Xu Yi gave a sigh and couldn’t help but ask, “Still, his excellency Great Magician, why is he so opposed to this? The other Great Magicians clearly wouldn’t reject this.”
“You want to know?” Still revealed a sly smile, “This won’t do if you don’t pay a little price.”
Xu Yi shrugged his shoulders and looked at the sky outside the window, “It’s not ti to eat yet, so how about we get so afternoon tea?”
After ordering two cold drinks in a snack bar near the Magic Tower, still told Xu Yi the entire story.
In the beginning, Great Magician Camilla had several disciples and there were two who he placed high expectations on. He thought that as long as they were willing to put in effort, they would beco powerful magicians eventually and could even surpass him.
But in the end, these disciples couldn’t resist the call of money. They were hired at a young age by large companies and beca guards for those companies. They completely disregarded their magic research and didn’t advance at all after many years.
Great Magician Camilla was very hurt by what they did, while also abhorring the actions of those companies. It accumulated after several tis and it turned into his current manner.
“After grandfather looked at your Magic Fan, he felt that your magic talent was outstanding and was filled with great expectations towards you. In the end, not only did you reject studying under him, you even made your own company, so naturally he was very disappointed. Let tell you, if grandfather wasn’t filled with hope towards you and your magic power has indeed kept growing, he would have chased you out of the Magic Tower already. How could he let you see him whenever and even solve your questions about magic? Now that you are discussing a business agreent with him, will he not be angry? So I told you you deserved this, but you didn’t believe .”
Towards Still’s final statent, Xu Yi could only open and close his lips without saying a thing.
“It really is a pity, I wanted to invite his excellency Great Magician to be our chief researcher and I even hoped that he could be the spokesperson for our company’s products. According to what you said, doesn’t that an there is no hope?” Xu Yi helplessly said.
“Are you dreaming?” Still looked at Xu Yi before asking in a curious voice, “But what do you an by chief researcher and spokesperson? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
“Chief researcher…..Actually it’s just soone who helps research the Magic Arrays needed inside the magic machinery that I make. Because your grandfather is a Great Magician and very strong, of course he could beco the chief. Un, chief ans number one, boss. You should understand that.”
“What about spokesperson? This is my first ti hearing of this, what does it an?”
“Spokesperson…..It’s a bit complicated talking about this.” Xu Yi thought about the situation of the stars on earth and after thinking for a bit, he replied, “For the so-called spokesperson, it’s inviting soone to represent the company’s products. As for the specifics, it’s using soone to represent certain products and people will think of those products if they look at that person. Normally speaking, the representative has to have a good self image and it’s best if he has so fa. This way, everyone can indirectly learn about the product by knowing about this person, so it’s a kind of mutual advertising.”
“Then if the product they represent isn’t good, wouldn’t it also tarnish the image of the spokesperson?” Still imdiately asked back.
Xu Yi was stunned, “Your reaction is quite fast. That’s right, this is a mutual relationship, so the product and the spokesperson will be mutually affected. Not only will the spokesperson’s image be affected if there is a problem with the product, if there is a problem with the spokesperson, it will also affect the product. So, whether it is the spokesperson or the company choosing the spokesperson, they have to carefully think this over.”
“You’re thinking is quite good to choose my grandfather as a representative.” Still gave a soft snort, “My grandfather is a Great Magician, he is very famous in the entire Lampuri Kingdom. If everyone knew that he was suddenly representing a product, everyone would ask what the product is. Then again, my grandfather has always been a serious person, so his image is incredibly good.”
“That’s why I wanted him as a spokesperson.” Xu Yi stretched his hands out before saying in a regretful voice, “But based on the attitude of his excellency Great Magician, there is no need to ntion this spokesperson matter with him at all, he definitely wouldn’t agree.”
“It would be strange if he did agree.” Still nodded. She looked at Xu Yi before suddenly asking, “That’s right, Xu Yi, since you are asking soone to be your spokesperson, then there must be a pay for that spokesperson, right?”
“Of course, how could we let that person work for free?”
“Then can I ask how much you’re prepared to offer?”
“This is not certain, it depends mainly on who the spokesperson is. Normally speaking, the more famous a person is and the better their image, the higher they’re paid. If it was his excellency Great Magician, I wanted to pay him a thousand gold coins a year as a spokesperson fee……”
“One thousand gold coins?” Without waiting for Xu Yi to finish, Still’s eyes popped wide open and her mouth opened wide, “That much? It’s just to represent sothing?”
“That’s right, what about it?”
Still looked at Xu Yi with a strange gaze, “Hey, Xu Yi, you shouldn’t have sold that many Magic Fans, so how could you give my grandfather one thousand gold coins right away? You have that much money?”
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “You don’t understand this? This is called investing in advertisent and it is a very cost effective investnt. This thousand gold coins doesn’t seem like much, but compared to the benefits brought by his excellency Great Magician, it can’t be considered anything.” Speaking of this, Xu Yi couldn’t help sighing, “It’s a pity his excellency Great Magician wouldn’t agree to this at all, so it’s a waste talking about this. That’s right, Still, are you familiar with any other Great Magicians? How about you introduce to them?”
Still knit her delicate brows as she considered this before shaking her head, “I do know several Great Magicians through grandfather, but Xu Yi, I can honestly tell you that those Great Magicians will not care about a small company like yours. You can just give up on this.”
“I thought it would be like this.” Xu Yi revealed a self-deprecating smile, “My company doesn’t have anything right now, those venerable Great Magicians not caring about us is very normal.” Putting aside this matter, Xu Yi suddenly thought of sothing else, “That’s right, Still, Vivian said you wanted her to tell that you wanted to see when you left. You said you have sothing to discuss, what is it?”
“Un, I indeed have sothing, but now I’ve found this matter has already been solved.” Still said with a smile, “I wanted to ask if you could find sothing for to do. I’m very bored right now staying with grandfather, it isn’t interesting at all. Moreover, you always seem like you’re very busy, so perhaps you could have found sothing for to do.
Xu Yi honestly looked at Still. He thought that this fellow suddenly wanted him to find sothing for her to do, could it be that she wanted to use work to push through the pain in her heart?
“It’s not a problem if you want sothing to do. For example, I wanted to ask your grandfather to beco the chief researcher, it’s actually because I’m planning to build a magic research laboratory exclusive to the company. If you’re interested, you can do magic research in the laboratory and help finish next products.”
“I was indeed interested in this work and I was prepared to have you prepare this work for . However, now that I’ve heard what you’ve said, I feel that another kind of work is more interesting.” Still narrowed her large eyes and spoke with a smile.
“What work?”
Still slowly sat up and she revealed a birght smile, revealing two rows of silver teeth. She said in a soft voice, “Xu Yi, what do you think about making your company’s spokesperson?”
