Shao Yan Interview

Logging started on 12/08/2018 at 10:52:55.
10:59:00 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord works at the desk, reading over a report and humming to herself. The office is pretty non-descript.
10:59:05 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord reaches the top of the stairs. He turns and glances back at the flight of stairs behind him. A thoughtful look before he turns his attention to teh room
10:59:21 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord walks up and clears his throat
10:59:59 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Warm winds, and fair greetings to you. *he smiles a very warm and welcoming smile*
11:01:05 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Am I disturbing you? I had but a few questions and I am searching for someone. *he says speaking in a slow refined speech pattern as if he was an educated citypaw*
11:01:33 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord looks up with a calculated professional smile. "Good morning to you as well, sir." She glances at a clock on the desk, realizing the time. "You're not disturbing me at all. How can I help?"
11:02:21 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord |  Sir Arthur Q. Higgins the 3rd stands behind Shao Yan. Holding a leatherbound satchel as big as the little Bling Robots' body
11:03:51 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: My name is Shao Yan Rainpaw. I am here for a business meeting of sorts with a representative of Firebrand Enterprises. Are you that liason? *he says hopefully. Pressing a hand to his chest and bowing his head slightly in a respectful way*
11:05:11 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord cursties lightly, "That I am.  I am Lady Narkyssa Da'Eryth, senior executive. As I recall Kryll referred you to our company?"
11:07:14 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: *nods slowly once. His movements are not rushed. Typical Pandaren* That is correct, and it is a ....pleasure *said with genuine emphasis* to meet you Miss Da'Eryth.
11:08:03 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Mr. Kryll has aided me in distributing my products for quite some time, and he talks a great deal about your company, and the magnificent opportunities you provide as a whole.
11:08:48 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: The pleasure is mine, I'm sure. *her tone was warm without being too familiar* Distribution? What sort of wares do you produce?
11:09:24 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord reaches over to a stack of papers to her left and pulls out what looks to be  a form and a quill, ready to take notes on this conversation.
11:09:55 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord walks forward and reaches back to grab his leather briefcase of sorts to pull out many different carefully contained and well scribed business documents. He sets the stacks of paper neatly on the desk. Taking the time to make sure all of the edges line
11:09:55 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord up
11:11:18 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord nods smiling to the little Bling for his help, and then turns to Narkyssa, "I own and operate a brewery in the reaches of the far Northern continent. My spirits and beer are not of typical Pandaren fashion, but a wide array of exotic and ingenuity"
11:12:47 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord smiles as he gestures to the first stack of papers which shows mostly product reports and carefully drawn pictures of various drink imagery with scribed words about the drinks themself with almost a Calligraphic writing.
11:13:13 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord looks down at his stack of documents, making a mental note of how careful the pandaren is to be organized and precise.  "A brewer, then. You operate in a very remote and hostile place, what do you hope to gain by directly producing under Firebrand »
11:13:14 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » Enterprises' banner?"
11:13:32 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I pride my brewery and work in that I have explored many outcomes and recipes from several different civilsations and cultures and their brewing techniques.
11:14:11 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: My Brewery itself is in a hostile location. That is correct. Very recently there was an earthquake of sorts that damaged a lot of the equipment.
11:14:46 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: However. The location of the brewery is in a placed called the Sholozar Basin. The water there is the reason for the brewery there.
11:15:08 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Water you see. Is a very important component in a great batch of wort in the fermentation process.
11:16:46 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: My hopes is that my products can show you in Firebrand Enterprises that they are worthy of that location, and a sound investment for you all.
11:18:10 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord smiles, remembering field work she did in the lush jungle as Shao explains more of his process. "Yes, of course." She looks back at the Pandaren from the stack of business documents, not disturbing them from their carefully stacked piles. "I've seen »
11:18:10 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » the basin, I'm a botanist and alchemist myself. You had mentioned equipment damage, I would guess some of the funding we supply to you will go to repairing the damage. But do you plan on expanding your operations at all?"
11:19:46 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: *adjusts his monocle as he reaches for the second stack of papers. He starts laying out schematics and engineering designs neatly and nods calmly to Narkyssa* I do have plans of expansion. As you can see here.
11:20:50 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: These are unmatched prototypes for new fermenters as well an automated milling device. Much of my former equipment was damaged, and yes that is where your investment will go.
11:21:58 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: *gestures to the third stack* This is a record of my scholastic history in microbiology as well as certifications through various Brewers Unions.
11:23:03 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord looks over the schamtics, while not an engineer she's seen enough technical documents to have at least a base understanding of what is laid out on the page. "Typically when we hire on it is in exchange of a gold salary, but given you already have one »
11:23:03 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » very solid revenue stream, I would like to propose direct investment in your brewery with exclusive distribution rights through Firebrand Enterprises, given Kryll is already on our payroll that should not be an issue for you?"
11:23:26 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord |  The third stack would even have mention of him studying with Dwarven Brewers as well as a short apprenticeship with the Night Elves for a study in wine Vintners.
11:24:08 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: That is a more than generous and acceptable proposition.
11:25:24 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I have but one more request. Potentially *he says inclining a finger and with a very hopefuly expression*
11:25:39 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: *he pauses to see her reaction*
11:25:49 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord nods, looking through his credentials upon finishing with the schematics, "Yes?"
11:27:18 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I had been informed that you also have a security branch in your employ. Would they be willing to accept an expedition to a dangerous location to allow me and my team to explore some history and knowledge in a particular brewing procedure.
11:28:31 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: They most likely would be. We have a job board that anyone in the company is free to post to. I would also suggest speaking with Mr. Sevarak, pur chief of security to coordinate.
11:28:35 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord turns to Sir Arhur Q Higgins who has been waiting expectantly and hands Shao a small sealed parchment envelope with a wax seal on it. Shao sets the envelope on the table and looks to Narkyssa very serious
11:29:15 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord looks down at the envelope and up at Shao, not touching it yet.
11:29:16 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Very well. Should I give this to Mr. Sevarak then? *gesturing to the sealed envelope*
11:30:25 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: If you would like to reserve it for him, yes. However, I am head of scholarly pursuits here and if it is of historical significance I would be the person to deliver to.
11:35:20 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Very well. I will leave this envelope to you then. I can procure another copy for Mr. Sevarak.
11:35:59 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I will not speak of the location of said expedition here, but it is a worthy expedition in my honest opinion.
11:36:17 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord nods, "I do have some questions for you if you don't mind." She sets the envelope to the side, not quite ready to address the contents yet.
11:36:45 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Yes of course.
11:37:44 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: Firebrand Enterprises is a large organization with three main branches. Research, Security and Commerce. I'm going to go on a limb here and suggest security is not a branch you would consider. Of the other two, which would you prefer, Mr. Rainpaw?
11:38:47 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord lifts a hand to his mouth with a kercheif to cover it as he kind of gurgles and clears his throat a bit. A very short single cough to follow before he says softly and with an apologetic expression, "Pardon me." he looks thoughtfully to Narkyssa.
11:39:38 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord makes a dismissive gesture at the request for pardon, "You're excused."  She maintains a professionally courteous expression.
11:40:02 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Well. *he pauses for a long moment before continuing* I am not your average Pandaren, nor even Citypaw. I am an explorer and dreamer by nature. Hence why I have gone to the lengths of scholastics far outside the norm of my people.
11:41:03 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I push myself. No. Pride myself in exploring all aspects of creating the perfect pour. The most dazzling taste and experience when enjoying my tasty libations.
11:41:22 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I do not care to distribute my wares, nor do I have any desire to become rich.
11:41:40 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: It is more for me to expand my knowledge, and craftsmanship.
11:41:47 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: So I do think that your research branch
11:42:01 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord inclines his eyebrow inquisitively
11:42:16 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: Is probably the best place for me on your employ records.
11:44:50 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord nods, listening as the man reasons out his decision. "I am inclined to agree. We have a research institution and clinic out at our company compound. I've made it a priority to have the best alchemical and engineering tools available there. As well as »
11:44:50 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » an extensive and well curated library. You are welcome to use whatever you need there." The elf pauses a moment, "We also have a gastronomer and distiller on staff, her name is Perona and I think you two would get along quite well. Keep an eye out »
11:44:50 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » for her."
11:47:50 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I look forward to meeting this Perona, and the rest of your staff.
11:48:45 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: Good. Also, there are a lot of different businesses this company delves into. What sort of jobs are you unwilling to participate in, should they come up for the taking?
11:49:52 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: I will not aid in any harm done to women or children. I am not afraid of a fight by any means. I also prefer to stay out of the politics of War.
11:50:15 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: My people are a peaceful kind. War by the Horde and Alliance did a great deal of damage to Pandaria.
11:51:46 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord nods, "Those are perfectly reasonable requests. We do have a couple very hard and fast rules here. One, do not commit treason against the Horde, we are registered as a company under the Bilgewater Cartel and as such are part of the Horde. The second is »
11:51:46 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » that we do not harm denizens of the plane of fire except in self defense. Any objections?
11:52:06 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: None to either account.
11:53:36 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: Good. *The priestess quickly fills on some blanks on the form, her handwriting neat and straight despite the speed that she writes* Now if you'll sign here... *She places the document and quill in front of Shao*
11:54:43 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord looks over the document. Adjusting his monocle to read. Squinting his small eyes a bit. He then signs where needed. His handwriting is very sloppy. The caligraphy in the other documents are likely not his to a keen eye would notice
11:56:52 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord compares the signature with the neatly written documents. "This," She picks up a small goblin device from where it had been hidden behind some of the papers on the desk, "Is our long range communicator. Feel free to reach out to any of us using it at »
11:56:52 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord » any time." She offers it to Shao.
11:58:44 Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord takes the communicator and nods smiling, "Thank you Mrs. Da'Eryth"
11:59:45 Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord bows lightly over the table, "You're quite welcome, Mr. Rainpaw."
12:00:08 [Shaoyän-WyrmrestAccord]: These copies are yours to keep for your records. *he says gesturing to the three stacks of documents*
12:00:39 [Narkyssa-WyrmrestAccord]: Thank you for supplying them.
