"Only some of those factories are producing cheese now, Miss Coburg." After watching Saifei point to the factories in the distance, the factory director looked at the place where she pointed in the distance and said.
"Although the cheese produced by dairy plants is very popular now, cheese alone is obviously not enough. After all, this area in the northern part of the Great Lakes region is an important pastoral area in the entire northern part of the federation, and there are too many cheese manufacturers.
, so we naturally need to produce some special products."
After saying that, the factory director took Lawrence and Saphiel and walked forward along the road.
On the way, Lawrence found that the whole place had recently been re-hardened with gravel. At the same time, many tree pits had been dug on the sidewalk and a few saplings had been planted. Apparently, there were many investments that he had asked for here before.
invested in the construction of this type of infrastructure.
"Actually, these infrastructure constructions don't cost much money." Seeing Lawrence stop to study the surrounding situation from time to time, the factory director immediately introduced the situation in this area to Lawrence.
"You know when we recruited those workers, many of them had their families. Later, considering the work of their families, we hired those women and children at a relatively low price to help plant trees and build roads."
"Sounds good indeed." Lawrence nodded. Although this situation was an obvious act of profiteering in his previous life, now it is a standard act of charity.
At least compared to other similar positions, the companies currently under Lawrence can be said to be among the best in terms of basic protection for workers and payment of wages.
Along the road, several people approached a large factory building. At this time, a strong sweet fragrance spread into their nostrils.
On a meter track next to them, several workers were driving a cart loaded with sacks from a warehouse in the distance, and then entered an annex building next to the factory.
"The factory here is used to make condensed milk." The factory director pointed to this series of buildings and said, "When His Excellency asked us to industrialize the production of condensed milk, we were a little confused because we usually drink coffee.
They always add this sweet condensed milk product.”
"But later after investigation, we realized that these condensed milk were produced by servants of some noble families or some small workshops on the market. There was no industrialized production of condensed milk at all. So we set up a factory here for production.
These are delicious.”
When the factory director introduced it, some finished products were being transported out of the processing plant on those manual rail cars. At this time, Saifeir discovered something interesting.
For example, there are two main types of goods produced in the factory. One of them is packed in oblate metal cans and seems to be sold directly. The other part is packed in huge round cans and is ready to be shipped to other places.
A factory building in the distance.
"What is that factory over there doing?" Saifei asked curiously as he watched those large round cans being transported to another factory in the distance. "I think those factories are old factories, but
It seems to have been renovated recently. It also looks like it should be producing some new product."
"Yes, Miss Coburg, this is indeed producing a new product." After nodding to Saifei, the factory director said, "This is a completely new product that has never appeared before."
"In addition to part of the condensed milk we produce in this factory being sold directly, a lot of it is transported to that factory as raw material to produce this brand-new food: toffee."
"This is the factory that originally made yogurt, but it was later used by us to make toffee, a new product." After walking to the edge of the slightly old small factory, the factory director introduced it to Lawrence and the others.
And Lawrence also discovered that the styles of these factories were completely different from those he had just seen. It seemed that there should be two factories here, but after they were all under his command, the people in charge opened up the connections between the two factories.
The wall connects the two factories into one.
"I heard that the toffee sold well, is it true?" Lawrence asked the factory director.
Although based on his experience in his previous life, selling candy in this era should be a very good new industry. And the recent data also showed that the sales volume of toffee was good. But he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"The sales of toffee are indeed good, especially since there are no similar industrial products on the market." The factory director pointed to the packed box not far away and said.
"Especially for some of the emerging middle class, they don't have enough manpower and time to make homemade candies, but their wealth allows them to have a need for such things. Before, they could only go to some stores or workshops to buy these things.
And now they have a new option."
Obviously, after having three new products of cheese, condensed milk and toffee, the dairy factory is in a prosperous situation as a whole.
This is why Lawrence and the others saw some factories being built on vacant land not far away, because everyone believed that the only problem with this factory now is that its output is too small, and the goods produced are far from meeting the needs of the market.
Naturally, recruiting workers is also for this purpose.
"Yes, this is the important future development direction of our company." After finally returning to the office, Lawrence gave simple instructions.
"Our industry does not need to compete with those top-notch similar products, because our historical accumulation is here, and there is definitely no way to compete with those elven brands with thousands of years of history or dwarf brands with hundreds of years of history.
And I have to admit that our current flavors of cheese, condensed milk and toffee cannot be recognized by the upper class."
"That's the situation." The factory director and several senior employees in the factory nodded together. "We have tasted high-end products imported from elves and dwarves before, and also tasted some products produced by humans.
High-end goods. To be honest, our products are far inferior to those of elves, and they are even significantly different in taste from those high-end human goods."
"But on the other hand, we cannot be like those small workshops run by unscrupulous businessmen that have no bottom line and are messy and messy." Lawrence said, staring at the group of factory managers seriously.
"I still remember when I was in college I once bought a piece of cheap cheese. I had diarrhea for a whole week because of that piece of cheese. It wasn't until I ate the last part that I realized there was a dead fly in the cheese."
"Of course, of course we won't." After hearing what Lawrence said, the factory director and several senior administrators from the retainer family of Earl Sauer immediately stood at attention and made an extremely serious expression of assurance.
He said, "This factory represents the glory of the August family, so we will definitely not do anything that damages the glory."
"It's good that you realize this." After seeing everyone's attitude, Lawrence immediately realized what the aristocratic status that he usually didn't pay much attention to represented in this era, so he immediately revised the next words and said.
"Because of the glory of nobility, when we run these businesses, we can't just make money. What's more important is that while making money, we must also take into account some social responsibilities to show the noble soul we have."
Given this era and background, telling the retainers of these families what they mean by serving the people is simply playing the lute to an ox.
However, because they were retainers, Lawrence felt that he could make the entire business more consistent with his own values by declaring family honor.
