From then on, Nak Weaving Factory developed steadily, and everyone quickly adapted to the new life. However, as the space for production optimization shrank, the improvement of production capacity also slowed down. From May 20th to May 25th,
The cumulative increase in six days was only about 7%, and the total output reached 7.5 times the original.
With such achievements, it is enough for the Nak Weaving Factory to operate stably, and the Ping Ping Association will be able to slowly recover its capital, and officially start to make profits through the pilot factory in half a year to a year.
However, if this slowdown continues, it will become completely impossible to break through to ten times the output in one month, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve in two months.
Verak, Winston, Andre and others knew that they, Nack Weaving Factory, had officially encountered a bottleneck.
The development of the factory has reached its best under normal conditions. If they want to break through the existing achievements and do better, they must continue to make more disruptive changes.
As for how to change next, how to continue to move forward without being forced to cut expenses and reduce workers' benefits to achieve the goals, everyone still has no clue.
While they were thinking about how to get through the last step, the aftermath of the counterfeit gang has also come to an end in the past few days. With Keating at the helm, the Equality Association will eventually compensate the defrauded people in Kip City with a total of 16,580 gold grams.
A total of 1,569 people were registered on the counterfeit gang's bill, which meant that Keating's overpayment amount was only 890 gold grams, which was far lower than the original estimate.
Spending an extra 890 gold grams can ensure that everyone who is really deceived can receive the money, and no innocent person is missed. In the eyes of the Equality Society, this is definitely a good deal.
Boyne, who is responsible for the overall stability of Lezein, also affirmed the outstanding contributions made by Verak, Keating and others in this incident.
After expressing his appreciation for the outstanding abilities of these people every day, Boyin felt even more grateful for his arrangement.
It was a stroke of luck. He just mobilized capable men like Verak and Keating to carry out the task. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Kip City sub-station alone to cope with the government's hand, and a worse situation would inevitably arise.
The world situation is unpredictable. Equality will be under tremendous pressure and at the same time need to assess the situation and ride the wave of the times and move forward bravely. At this time, it is very important that there are no emergencies that hold us back.

May 27, morning
Kip City, Light Industrial Zone, Wilfred Weaving Factory
Wilfred Weaving Factory is the largest weaving factory in Kip City. Its owner, Wilfred, who has never looked down upon anyone, specially welcomed two people who also started weaving in Kip City today.
The owner of the factory came to visit.
"Long time no see." The burly Wilfred hugged the two factory owners, one fat and one thin, politely.
"Long time no see, my friend." Rodney, a fat man who owns many industries in Kip City, had a smile on his face.
"Hmm." Skinny Jeffrey said little.
After inviting the two of them to sit down in the office, and arranging coffee and brandy at their request, Wilfred went straight to the point: "I wonder if you two have heard of a weaving factory called Nack recently."
Fat Rodney knew that Wilfred called him and Jeffrey over to talk about this matter. He took a sip of wine and nodded: "Of course I know, this is the main topic of conversation among people in our area recently."
"A very bold factory." Jeffrey commented briefly.
"Actually, I didn't take this matter to heart at first, because I heard that the original Nak Weaving Factory was about to close down. The new owner who acquired it was the son of a powerful man from Lezein. With such a background, it doesn't matter
Nothing they do will be surprising. But what I didn’t expect was that they made so many drastic reforms, as if they were not just playing around, but really made rigorous plans." Wilfred said.
I am worried about the conclusion I finally reached.
"Have you heard that the output of their factory is amazing and the income is pretty good? I don't think this is true. They spend too much, but their production capacity has not changed. How can this happen?
Is it possible to make a profit? I think the biggest possibility is
The new factory owner just said that randomly for the sake of face. It won't be long before they go bankrupt, or return to the previous system and survive." Rodney didn't take this matter too seriously. His experience told him that Nack Weaving Factory
That group of people won't really stir up any trouble.
"As far as I know, this thing should be true." Jeffrey said.
Rodney glanced at Jeffrey, who had a calm face: "What do you say? What did you find out?"
"The shops connected to our factory also have business dealings with the Nak Weaving Factory. They said that the output of the Nak Weaving Factory is indeed very large, exceeding normal estimates. No matter how rich the group of powerful people from Lezein are,
, and they won’t bribe the shops to create false appearances, so their words should not be false.” Jeffrey explained his basis in detail.
"This is also something that is uncertain. If you can give so many benefits to the workers for free, what else can't be done..." Rodney still didn't want to believe it, "Just think about how much work those lowly workers can do.
We know very well that their output cannot be that high, and it is even less likely that the work efficiency of those workers will increase after cutting their working hours in half.
Double the promotion, one person can beat the four of us. And don’t forget, most of the workers in the Nak Weaving Factory are old, weak, sick and disabled. The previous factory owners were unwilling to equip the production line with new mechanization machines, so they used extremely low-cost
We hired them at a reasonable price. No matter how you look at this group of people, they don’t seem to be that powerful, otherwise the former Nak Weaving Factory wouldn’t have been on the verge of bankruptcy.”
"What you said makes sense, but since I am willing to call you here, I must have found some evidence. Whether you believe it or not, the result is the same as what Jeffrey said. The output of the Nack Weaving Factory is really high.
So high." Wilfred shrugged.
"Really, really?" Rodney was stunned, "How, how is this possible? Could it be that they have developed a newer and more efficient machine?"
"Machines are just like us." Jeffrey said.
"Then...that's because they secretly recruited more people?" Rodney guessed unwillingly.
Wilfred felt that Rodney's guess was becoming increasingly unreliable, and quickly interrupted to clarify the core issue he wanted to discuss: "First, according to the investigation, they did not recruit new people. Second, even if they hired more people
people, the cost will also increase accordingly. If they recruit new people and do not improve their treatment, then the new system will
The degree is useless. I invited you two here not to discuss whether this is true or not, because the truth or falsehood has been determined. What we need to consider is how this was done and why they came to Kip City to do this.
, what impact will this have on us, and how should we choose in the future?”
"I have been studying the Nak Weaving Factory recently, and I can basically confirm that the current results are achieved because of their new system, that is, the twenty-seven articles are all aimed at improving the welfare of workers."
Jeffrey crossed his arms across his chest and said in a deep voice, "In other words, they have taken a completely different path from us. We are constantly extracting the value of workers, while they are giving benefits to help workers burst out with greater potential.
Value. Judging from the astonishing data they have produced so far, we have a very wrong judgment about the ability of workers."
"You mean, we thought we had maximized the value of our workers, but we're still far from it?" Rodney asked.
"Yes."
Rodney suddenly laughed: "If we can not only avoid spending on benefits like the Nack Weaving Factory, but also fully develop the potential of the workers, wouldn't we be able to make much more money than we are now?"
Wilfred frowned: "It's not that simple. Those low-class people are not complete fools. They won't do even a little more work without a small profit. But I have also thought of your idea.
, if we can really do this, we will make a lot of money."
"I feel that the hope of taking the third path is very slim, but I am very happy to see the birth of the new model of Nak Weaving Factory. It doesn't matter if they fail. If they prove that the new model is more profitable, I will not
I don't mind copying their reforms. After all, I can make money and make the workers be grateful to me. It's not bad." Jeffrey has a calm mind and does not regard the Nak Weaving Factory as an enemy. "As for what the Laizein chaebol thinks,
Probably because they have seen the huge benefits brought by the new model. Even if the factory itself does not become more profitable by then, or even less than before, the other additional new benefits will be considerable, and overall it will still make the company more profitable.
They make a lot of money. For example, schools, if all factories promote the 27-point system reform, how many more students will there be? How big will the potential of the school become?"
The cautious Wilfred is different: "Jeffrey's analysis is very pertinent, but I think things are not that simple, and we must not look at it optimistically. The fact that they can achieve the current results shows that they must have been fully prepared for this.
So why do they have to come to Kip City to do this? Do they think this is a suitable place to try out new ideas first, or do they have other plans to expand their interests and monopolize the textile industry at the same time? This is a chaebol from Lezein, and they are so generous.
, the idea is so advanced, their ambition will not be just that little bit."
"Yes, if they succeed and want to acquire more textile factories or simply build their own textile factories, all the workers will rush to get there. How can we compete with them? Is it possible to imitate them completely? Wouldn't that mean we are being led by them?
We walked away with our noses in our hands? No matter how powerful we are, we can't compete with the well-capitalized plutocrats of Lazerin." Rodney immediately became worried after Wilfred pointed it out.
"Then do you have any countermeasures?" Jeffrey looked at Wilfred.
If the situation really develops as Wilfred said, then the most severely affected among them must be the Wilfred Weaving Factory.
"I invited you two here just to work out a way to prevent this possibility from happening. Of course, I already had an idea before inviting you here," Wilfred said.
"Tell me about it." Jeffrey looked very patient.
Wilfred's voice was cold: "In order to prevent the textile industry in Kip City from going beyond our control, we can form an alliance and work together to boycott the Nak Weaving Factory. As long as the new model of the Nak Weaving Factory fails, any negative
There will be no impact, and workers will even work harder for us after recognizing the reality."
"Boycott? How to boycott this? They are from Lezein, they are not that easy to deal with, right?" Lezein's background made Rodney very afraid, for fear of accidentally provoking a big shot.
"Their main cooperation is with Lezein. We can't reach that far. Even if we want to boycott them, we really can't have any impact." Jeffrey shook his head slightly, not thinking that boycotting was a feasible thing.
.
Seeing that the two of them were "on the verge of death" but still didn't have the courage to give it a try and the determination to use any means necessary, Wilfred gritted his teeth in anger: "Have you never thought about what would happen if the Nack Weaving Factory continued to grow like this?
The biggest possibility is that we will all be annexed by Lezein’s chaebols! The textile industry is monopolized by them! At this time, there is no need to worry about their Lezein background and how to resist?!”
Rodney swallowed: "But this is only a possibility. What if they don't care about the interests of Kip City at all? By doing this, wouldn't we provoke a force that would not do anything to us in the first place?
"
"So what if we provoke them? Laizein is Laizein, and Kip is Kip. They are outsiders after all, and their energy here is limited after all! I don't believe we can't compete with them if we join forces!" Wilfred said fiercely.
.
In fact, the other two people here have many industries in their names. The weaving factory is important to them but not fatal.
Only Wilfred, the weaving factory was his backbone, and he could not just watch his biggest money-making machine collapse, so he brought in Jeffrey and Rodney, hoping to tie a few people together through benefits.
Let’s protect our industry together.
"Then what do you want to do? Most of the fabrics they produce are sold to Lezein. We are really powerless to intervene at this point. We can only focus on the factory itself." Jeffrey was always calm as if he was staying out of the matter, and did not reveal himself.
However, it completely affected Wilfred's thoughts.
"I don't know this yet, but the direction is determined. If we want to destroy them and make this new concept fail, there are only two ways, either to continue to increase their costs or to reduce their production. As long as we find ways to improve
After reducing their expenses and reducing their output, everyone can see that the Nak Weaving Factory cannot make money, and the crisis will naturally be lifted!"
"Well..." Jeffrey remained unmoved, "What's more specific? How to increase their expenditure? How to reduce production?"
Wilfred secretly cursed Jeffrey, who clearly wanted to sit back and enjoy the gains, but on the surface he still said calmly: "This requires us to discuss it together. I believe that our combined strength is enough to win the battle in this area we are most familiar with."
The boundary of the earth covers the sky with one hand. It is not difficult to control the development of a Nak weaving factory."
