"Oh..., hahaha!" David Lawrence has been feeling nervous recently, but today it is rare for him to laugh heartily. He walked into a newly opened printing factory on Staten Island with a group of guards, who were recruited from the factory.
More than two hundred employees are working diligently.
Once the paper mill starts operating, the downstream printing industry can naturally start operating as well, and by the way, it can also drive the development of industries such as ink. When this kind of industrial chain is extended, the social benefits are extremely huge.
The management of the factory followed David Lawrence. Seeing that their boss was in a good mood, they all smiled happily. The general manager stood aside and introduced: "Mr. Lawrence, I assure you that our factory's
Management is more reasonable, more humane, and more lovable.
We implement an eight-hour work system. Compared with the 16-hour inhumane and harsh behavior of the "Aurora Legion", our approach is obviously more in line with universal values and will make employees love you more.
We have also formed a labor union, set up insurance and pension funds for employees, and solved their life problems. Compared with Victor Hugo, that vampire, we are obviously more sophisticated and sophisticated in terms of management level.
We heard that workers in the factories of the 'Aurora Legion' fainted every day due to overloaded work, and the employees who were forced to take a break naturally fell into despair without any salary income. But we are much better. In contrast, people are
I love working in your business."
Hahaha..., it sounds very good! But David Lawrence laughed for a long time, and suddenly he said, "Doesn't this mean that our production cost is much higher than that of the 'Aurora Legion'?"
Ah..., the flattery hit the horse's leg!
"Uh... Well, our main consideration is to solve the work problem for more people. After all, we are a responsible government. And..." The general manager of the printing factory didn't know what to say.
David Lawrence also knew that the people below were trying to figure out what he meant every day, and sometimes it was better to make it clear. He got closer to the general manager and whispered: "There are so many workers now. There is no need to pity them too much. The union and
There is no need for an eight-hour working day.
Benefits such as pensions and insurance should be compared to what the Aurora Corps does. It should be a little better. Sixteen hours of continuous work is indeed too long. It can be cut into two eight-hour ones, and workers should be allowed to rest for four hours in between.
It will be much better. What do you think?"
I feel like a ghost, boss, you have already said something, so let’s do it! Anyway, it’s not us who are working so hard. A bunch of people in the printing factory nodded repeatedly, praising their leader’s intelligence and wisdom.
David Lawrence continued to smile on his face. To be honest, he felt very happy recently because he and Victor Hugo had reached a cooperation agreement - both parties exchanged agricultural products for industrial products.
The 'Aurora Legion' recruited employees using all kinds of inferior food shipped by sea, and restarted many factories to produce a large number of materials that are in short supply in modern life. This idea inspired David Lawrence a lot. He felt that he could make prescriptions and medicines.
Copy the same pattern for development.
Factories and workers are ready. The key is how to organize them through work-for-relief. David Lawrence thought about using his precious food reserves to do this. But..., the food is dwindling day by day, God knows.
When will it rain?
So David Lawrence wanted to import food from the ‘Aurora Legion’. Anyway, he had a lot of gold. In order to solve the problem of employment and material shortage, it was worthwhile to consume a batch of gold.
But Zhou Qingfeng is so clever that he won't be fooled - gold is used by birds, it can't be eaten when hungry, and it can't be drunk when thirsty. It is enough for commercial circulation at present, but in the future, the uncle will print credit currency. If you want food, that's fine.
, exchange for industrial equipment. Note that it is heavy industrial equipment.
Meeting this kind of request, David Lawrence was so angry that his heart burned and his lungs burned. He now understood Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts - heavy industrial equipment is now non-replicable and will be gone if taken away. Even if it cannot be used, it cannot be used.
Save it for the enemy.
Speaking of which, this incident really reminded David Lawrence. You must know that the Brotherhood of Steel is currently gathering strength. There were originally more than 100 regional commanders, but after continuous mergers and integrations, only seven are left. Now no one can swallow up anyone else.
So David Lawrence took the same risk as Zhou Qingfeng. He tried to buy industrial equipment from other allies and sold it to the 'Aurora Legion'. He also obtained agricultural products from the 'Aurora Legion' and sold them to the Brotherhood's allies. Then he could
Earn the difference from it.
This business is really easy to do, and it seems that everyone is benefiting in the near future. Among them, the protein maggot powder produced by Zhou Qingfeng with the largest sales volume (it is definitely not the name on the outer packaging anyway), has a huge output and a wide market.
It can be said to be very popular.
In addition, dehydrated vegetables are also sold very well. Although the taste is not as good as fresh vegetables, they can still supplement various nutrients.
Even filtered and processed gutter oil is regarded as a conscientious commodity. Nowadays, edible fats are in short supply. Who cares if you gutter or not? It’s not eaten by the big shots in the upper class anyway.
In David Lawrence's view, Zhou Qingfeng obtained a large amount of heavy industrial equipment, but that guy was really just trying to protect himself. Without supporting facilities and technical personnel, and even the power supply could not be guaranteed, heavy industry was out of the question - just give it a try
I gave it, that guy can’t use it anyway.
The 'Aurora Legion' is far away in the horizon and will not be able to threaten the New York Brotherhood for a while. Instead, other allies are around, sharpening their swords, but they are not good people. If it weren't for the common enemy of the 'Enclave', I'm afraid
The war has already started.
The price difference earned from food and equipment trade has become David Lawrence's magic weapon for restarting light industry to improve employment and stabilize society. Currently, more than 20 companies have reopened and more than 10,000 people have found jobs. As long as this momentum continues
If we go down, the entire New York area will be safe.
As for the consequences of losing heavy industry, David Lawrence believes that as long as there is a stable period of five or six years, the infrastructure is still there, and the talent and technology are well preserved in North America, heavy industry can still be rebuilt.
The key now is stability, above all else, to ensure that you don't starve to death when global famine breaks out. If everyone starves to death, everything else is empty talk. This is really to endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world!
The most important thing is that North America is not limited to the United States. The heavy industry in Canada is also very good. David Lawrence regards Quebec and Ontario as his back garden. If you are missing anything, you can get it in the back garden.
Already.
Under such circumstances, how could David Lawrence be unhappy? He had been in a good mood these days and was a little ready to move, wondering whether he should continue to ease the relationship with his wife and live a good life as a couple.
But sometimes the idea is too good, but the reality is cruel. Just when David Lawrence wanted to end his visit to the printing factory and leave, a new batch of prints suddenly came down from the printing assembly line. The patterns of these prints were so weird that it made him feel uncomfortable.
People can't help but grab one and take a look.
Just by looking at this, David Lawrence was stunned in surprise, "How can this guy be so bold? This is challenging the bottom line of conscience in the world! The behavior of this kind of tyrant, fanatic, and barbarian is unacceptable to others."
