Chapter 326 Chatting with Ms. Tomfam
In the field of puppet manufacturing, the fierce competition is like a war without gunpowder. Those large-scale and powerful workshops are like giants on the battlefield. They firmly occupy the dominant position with their own massive resources and cutting-edge technology ahead of the times.
For these giants, exquisitely designed drawings are undoubtedly the most prominent symbol of their powerful strength.
However, in sharp contrast to these giants are relatively small workshops like Tomfam. They are like grass struggling to survive in the cracks and have to use all their tricks to survive.
In order to get a share of this cruel market, these small workshops have cut costs to an astonishing limit and even specialize in the production of copycat products.
Despite this, the large workshops did not completely wipe out these small workshops. The reason was simple: although the large workshops had unparalleled advantages in the manufacturing of core components, their own production costs for processing some insignificant parts were higher than outsourcing to small workshops.
Moreover, the wages of workers hired by small workshops are often lower than those of alchemists trained by themselves. Therefore, in a sense, small characters like Tomfam are indispensable to large workshops.
You know, a complete puppet is usually made up of thousands of parts. Faced with such a large number of parts, large workshops will naturally make some choices.
They will not hesitate to send those minor parts that do not affect the overall performance to small workshops for processing, so as to save production costs to the maximum extent.
As for those low-level puppets, their target customer groups are mainly magicians at the bottom of society.
After all, how could those high-quality customers who truly pursue high-quality puppets condescend to come to the dark and damp underground space to purchase goods?
Blaney sat down in the rest area of the workshop, and their people came to work one after another. After everyone greeted Blaney politely, they started to work happily, chatting and laughing. There was no isolation at all. The whole scene seemed lively and harmonious, but it also revealed a sense of casualness and disorder.
Blaney felt a little bored, so he took out a book from his space ring and flipped through it quietly, trying to pass the time.
About ten minutes later, Tomfam walked into the store with a handsome young magician. Judging from their intimate gestures, he might be her partner. The two whispered a few words, and the man went to change into work clothes to prepare for work.
Blainey put away her books and stood up, with a polite and gentle smile on her face, and bowed to Ms. Tofam as a disciple according to custom. Ms. Tofam walked towards her with a smile: "Ms. Blainey, what are you doing..."
"This is not the place to talk. How about going upstairs to have a cup of coffee with me? Will it affect Ms. Tofam's work?"
"No, no, can I join your mercenary team?"
Blaney smiled without saying anything and walked straight out the door. Tomfam was stunned for a moment and then followed him out.
On the second floor, the Vita work cafe.
Blainey ordered two cups of coffee and some exquisite snacks, and chose a relatively quiet corner to sit down.
"Ms. Tomfam, you don't have to join the mercenary team to enjoy the same treatment. Technical personnel are not allowed to go to the battlefield. You have your own value, and there is more than one way to join the mercenary team..."
"You mean I don't have to join the mercenary team, but can I also apply for the training courtyard and the shop? I know, it requires contribution, right?"
Bryony said calmly: "Your partner is very handsome. Most of the magicians in the training courtyard are bachelors. It's inappropriate for you to go out with your little brother? It will interfere with other people's training..."
Although Tofam was angry, she still suppressed her anger and blushed. For this rare opportunity, she thought that he was just a tool to solve physiological problems, so it didn't matter at all. As long as she could negotiate the store, it didn't matter if she gave up men.
"Ms. Blainey, he is just my bedmate. If there is discipline in the training courtyard, then fine, I can end it with him..."
What Miss Blainey hates most is women who do whatever it takes to succeed. In her opinion, such people only care about interests and do not understand the value of true feelings. They are no different from animals and are most likely to betray their masters.
However, from a practical point of view, this kind of ruthlessness is indeed needed to do business. This Tom Fam can create a puppet just by looking at it. He is a truly capable person. He must use her, but he must give her some humanity to ensure her loyalty.
Blainey fell into deep thought. In this world full of interests and desires, how to balance the relationship between ability and morality, how to guide and shape a person's values are urgent issues to be solved.
Tom Fam was anxiously waiting for a reply, but she was actually eager to get the store deal done. For her, this was not just a business opportunity, but also a chance to change her destiny.
On the scale of interests and morality, the slightest mistake may lead to imbalance, thus causing a series of problems. To find a perfect balance often requires leaders to have extraordinary wisdom and insight.
Blainey took a sip of coffee, her eyes deep and determined. She knew that she had to make a wise and correct decision.
Bryony raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile as warm as the spring breeze, and said softly: "Why don't we chat casually first? Don't be nervous, there is no malice at all. Ms. Tomfam, what do you think of that handsome little brother? Is he also attracted to you?"
Hearing this, although Ms. Tomfam was over 30 years old, when the eternal theme of love was mentioned, her face instantly bloomed with a shy and sweet smile like a girl.
She nodded gently, not hiding her inner joy, and generously admitted that she was indeed in love with the handsome boy. Moreover, they had just confirmed their relationship for just over a month, but they had already been deeply in love with each other.
Perhaps because it is difficult to find someone who is willing to listen to her feelings, Ms. Tofam seemed to have opened a chatterbox and talked incessantly about every detail of her time with her lover.
From the first meeting to the first crush to the present deep love, she described every detail vividly, making people feel as if they were there and felt the sincere and warm emotions. Before they knew it, half an hour had passed.
However, Blaney kept smiling and focused throughout the whole process, without any intention of interrupting Ms. Tofam's talk. She just sat quietly by the side, encouraging her to continue talking with her gentle eyes, until Ms. Tofam finally stopped talking with satisfaction.
After Ms. Tofam paused for a moment, Blainey gracefully extended his hand, gently placed a thick file bag in front of Tofam, and said slowly: "This contains all the information that Witeta has about you. Especially the background investigation part about you coming from Zhenla. As far as I know, I'm afraid even you have never had the honor of seeing it before! I wonder if you are interested in this and want to take a look at it yourself..."
