As a member of Gnome Tinker Council, Sicco Thermaplugg naturally knows many outstanding dwarf craftsmen. However, most of the dwarf craftsmen Sicco Thermaplugg knows have their own work to do, because gnomes are naturally curious. In ancient times, the research atmosphere within Gnomeregan was very strong. Even High Tinker Mekkatorque, the leader of the gnomes, would spend his time researching new machinery, not to mention those dwarf craftsmen who were not very involved in the governance of Gnomeregan.
Because of this, Sicco Thermaplugg couldn't remember for a moment that the dwarf craftsman who was relatively idle recently would have the leisure to join Aaron's trading company to help him produce the various mechanical products he needs. Moreover, even if the dwarf craftsmen were relatively idle, I am afraid they would not be interested in such highly repetitive work.
However, Aaron was already prepared for this. As early as when he signed a contract with Mekkatorque on how to deal with the Titans technological creations he brought from Broken Isles, Aaron had already stated in advance that he needed to keep a few pieces as signs for the trading company to help him recruit dwarf craftsmen. Mekkatorque also agreed at the time.
Aaron believes that if these things exist, then there will definitely be dwarf craftsmen who are willing to temporarily put down their work and join Aaron's trading company.
Of course, Aaron felt that this matter was not that urgent. He just asked Sicco Thermaplugg to inform the dwarf craftsmen he knew about the matter, and then waited for them to make their own decisions. Aaron could still afford to wait now.
Aaron's most important thing is to recruit dwarf apprentices who do not have formal craftsman grades to join his company. After all, the company he plans to produce will definitely focus on producing various mechanical products, so those formal craftsmen who have obtained craftsman qualification certificates will definitely not be so fond of doing such boring work.
Moreover, if they are asked to do these tasks, the fees Aaron will need to pay may be relatively high. In Yalin's own opinion, dwarf apprentices are cheaper.
Regarding the idea of recruiting apprentices, Sicco Thermaplugg did have a suggestion. He recommended Aaron to recruit students from Gearshaft University.
As the only university in the dwarf tribe and even in the entire Eastern Kingdom that focuses on cultivating professional craftsmen, Gear Axis University is actually more similar to the vocational college Aaron is familiar with than the concept of universities that Aaron was familiar with in the past. The graduates from it are all mature craftsmen who can go directly to work, even if they cannot be called formal craftsmen.
As a university built by dwarfs for hundreds of years, this Gearshaft University is worthy of its reputation that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
There are generally two training models for dwarf craftsmen. One is a craftsman trained by a dwarf craftsman alone. This kind of dwarf craftsman learns from a formal craftsman, and then passes a series of exams after completing his studies, so that he can become a formal dwarf craftsman.
The other is collective training through the entire craftsman training system of the dwarves. These two training methods are indistinguishable. Most of the students educated by the craftsmen themselves are more creative and have their own unique styles. However, this training method is too slow, and this series of professions represented by Gearshaft University Although the dwarf craftsmen trained by the training system may lack personal characteristics, they are more efficient in training, and because of this large-scale training, some genius-level figures will occasionally appear among them. For example, Sicco Thermaplugg and Mekkatorque are both outstanding students who graduated from Gearshaft University.
For Aaron, this kind of apprentice without personal characteristics is what he wants. After all, the most important thing about the production model he wants to establish is standardization. If the craftsmen have too many personal characteristics, it will be very detrimental to the implementation of his plan.
Of course, Aaron did not tell Sicco Thermaplugg this. His plan needs to be carried out slowly after the company is officially established. Now he has to talk to Mekkatorque and Sicco Thermaplugg about standardization. I am afraid that these dwarf craftsmen cannot understand what Aaron is talking about.
Probably only after Aaron has produced results will this dwarf craftsman realize the benefits of his doing so, and only then will these dwarf craftsmen be allowed to formally examine the benefits of standardization.
Aaron just asked Sicco Thermaplugg to take him to Gearshaft University. Aaron should go there first to invite students to see if there are any students who want to join Ya-Mei Trading Company of Aaron.
According to Aaron's idea, after these dwarf apprentices join his company, and after a period of familiarity, he can start to correct some of the bad habits of these dwarf craftsman apprentices. When the company is on the right track, Aaron can expand its scale, recruit more craftsmen, and spread Aaron Liniang.
Gearshaft University is in the core area of Gnomeregan. Like other places in Gnomeregan, it is filled with the smell of engine oil and the sound of gears colliding with the operation of various large and small machinery.
The dwarf apprentices of Gearshaft University need to design and make various simple dwarf machines on their own before graduation to prove that they have the ability to independently manufacture machinery. As a qualified school, Gearshaft University will naturally provide a lot of help to its apprentices, which results in Gearshaft University being full of mechanical products made by various dwarf craftsmen.
So when Aaron entered the area where Gearshaft University was, he saw various dwarf machines crawling all over the ground. These large and small machines looked more imaginative than the other products Aaron saw at Gnomeregan. Occasionally, one or two pieces of machinery would malfunction or even explode.
However, the surrounding gnomes seem to be accustomed to this. After all, although the products produced by gnomes are extremely creative, their stability is also notoriously poor. It is very normal for something to malfunction.
Because of the introduction of Sicco Thermaplugg, Aaron easily met the teachers responsible for Gearshaft University, and conveyed to the students through them his invitation to recruit dozens of dwarf apprentices to join the company in producing products.
The conditions given by Aaron, and after Sicco Thermaplugg's suggestions, were quite attractive to the dwarf apprentices. More importantly, the dwarfs' natural curiosity made them very interested in the trading company established by Aaron. Soon Aaron received a large stack of suitable registration forms.
Facing these enthusiastic dwarf apprentices, Aaron thought for a while and told them that he needed to go back and screen them carefully. He invited these dwarfs to leave their contact information and address on the registration form to facilitate subsequent notifications. Aaron took these registration forms back to Ya-Mei Trading Company's location and began to study these registration forms with Sicco Thermaplugg.
Looking at these simple application forms, Aaron actually remembered the scene when he was looking for a job in the past, but he didn't expect that he would actually start to read other people's application forms or resumes now, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
Just when Aaron and Sicco Thermaplugg were holding several registration forms to discuss recruitment conditions, Aaron suddenly noticed a rather special registration form.
This registration form didn't look very different from other people's registration forms, so Aaron ignored it at first, but Aaron inadvertently noticed a very special name on this registration form. Seeing this familiar name After learning the name, Aaron couldn't believe it at first. He rubbed his eyes. After making sure that he was not blind, Aaron murmured, "Chromie? Why is this guy here to join in the fun?"
