Chapter 149 One Long One Short Choice The Longest

As soon as Lynch returned home in the morning, the maid told him that Mr. Ferrara had called him and asked him to call him back as soon as possible.

This is very inconvenient in the era without mobile communication. If a person does not stay in a specific place, people all over the world will not be able to find him!

Lynch quickly called Ferrara back, and he explained the purpose of his call to Lynch.

The mayor has already submitted Lynch's application form for joining the Federal Progressive Party, which does not need to be done by Lynch himself, and the Federal Progressive Party Development Office will help him complete these forms.

At the same time, on Wednesday, that is, the day after tomorrow, the state office of the Federal Progressive Party will send someone to Sabine City to meet with Lynch. Members like him who are recommended by a city mayor and join the Progressive Party will be treated more highly. treat.

The development commissioner will talk to Lynch about his impression of the Progressive Party, whether Lynch himself has some suggestions for the Progressive Party, and whether he needs help from the Progressive Party.

Ferrara told Lynch that he could say anything but absolutely not be able to ask for help, which is not a good thing.

Many people who have just joined the Progressive Party don’t know about it. They talked about some of the difficulties they face in their business or work, and some of them can be solved by the Progressive Party.

It’s not the kind of nasty, endless demands. They just tell you that we have helped you, so shouldn’t you give others—some other friends of the Progressive Party some help within your ability?
In fact, this method can easily completely integrate a person with the whole, but sometimes there are some problems with it, and not everyone likes to "dedicate" like this.

In addition, there will be a charity auction in this state on Saturday night to raise funds to solve the problem of a part of the urban unemployment assistance subsidy. Lynch is also invited to participate, and on Monday next week, Lynch will set aside time, The city hall will hold an inquiry session to discuss with everyone how to revive the city's development.

Lynch did not refuse any of these activities, and carefully recorded the time. The higher a person's value in society, the less complete independence he could guarantee.

Many people think that being rich should be a very free thing. In some respects, it is true, but sometimes it is very unfree, because the development of all aspects of society requires these people to put forward their own ideas, or do things. make your own contribution.

Like the kind of person who has a lot of money and can do nothing all day long and just keep playing, no matter whether it is this world or another world, it does not exist.

All kinds of meetings, all kinds of activities, none of which can be absent, sometimes the ladies and gentlemen of the upper class will be very tired, and this double mental and physical fatigue is much more tiring than the pure physical fatigue of manual laborers .

At this time, Lynch suddenly remembered what Catherine said that day, the so-called high society may be spent in chatting and eating.

The next day, that is, on Tuesday afternoon, Lynch drove to the place agreed with Lunett to visit his factory.

This guy met him at the previous reception to find out if there was an opportunity for cooperation, which was also Lynch's purpose for coming here.

He believes that as the federal situation gets worse and worse, many things will be relaxed, including employment-related bills.

People are going to starve to death, who cares about bills or not, making money, buying food, and filling their stomachs are the most important things!
As soon as the car stopped, Luniter hurried up with his secretary, refused Lynch's driver to open the car door for him, and opened the door for Lynch himself.

If it weren't for his current precarious situation, how could a factory owner make such a move?
"Please come and pick me up yourself..." Lynch straightened his clothes after getting out of the car, and shook hands with Luniter. Compared with his calmness and self-confidence, Luniter is like Some unremarkable supporting characters in the story.

He hooked his waist slightly, not like bending over, but definitely not straight, he didn't want to show his "flattery", but he was not tough enough, a man who swayed from side to side.

"Sure, I'm already very happy that you can come, so why don't you visit my factory next?" He said while leading Lynch into the factory.

The factory has about forty acres of land, with three workshops and one warehouse. This kind of factory is very common in industrial areas. It may be to let Lynch see a "lively" scene. Today, the workers in the workshop are all here. Yes, and they are all wearing clean overalls and working hard.

Lunit probably regarded Lynch as a young man with little social experience, thinking that the other party had never been in a factory area, so naturally he would not understand how stupid his actions were.

In fact, whether it is a sewing worker or a worker who does heavy manual labor, it is impossible for their work clothes to become clean, especially for the workers on the assembly line. The high-intensity work and higher pressure make them not care about whether they are healthy or not. soiled his clothes.

But here, everyone wears clean clothes, and they approach their work slowly, as if they are dealing with a work of art rather than a commodity.

What Lynch mainly looks at is not these people and their level, but the situation of these sewing machines.

At present, the Federal Garment Factory uses the semi-manpower and semi-steam-powered industrial sewing machine used in the Lunet factory. It has a gear handle and four pedals. When dealing with some details, the pedals are stepped on manually. way is completed.

Only those long sewing jobs will use steam power, which also makes the workshop very hot. With the sound of pressure relief, heat will continue to leak from the steam pipe.

In fact, in addition to this steam-powered sewing machine, there are also some electric sewing machines, but the sales and utilization rate of such sewing machines are not high.

Compared with cheap steam, the hidden cost of expensive electricity bills is still too high. Maybe one day’s electricity consumption can buy enough fuel for a week’s use, so steam-powered sewing machines are the mainstream.

As for it making benches and workspaces hot, that's not something factory owners care about at all. They never care about the comfort of workers while they work.

"The machines are very new..." Lynch observed. These machines seemed to be in good condition, and there was no obvious wear and tear.

Lunet didn't know why, but he still nodded in a friendly manner and said, "These are new machines that were updated two years ago. They can be said to be no different from new ones."

Two years ago, the business was not so difficult. He invested a large amount of money in upgrading, but soon encountered problems such as production reduction and suffered serious losses.

What he said is not an exaggeration. After buying these machines, they are used less and less often. At the beginning, they could keep working one day and resting one day. Now they have basically stopped working.

If it wasn't for the fear of being filed for bankruptcy, he might have filed for a complete cease and desist.

After walking around a few workshops, Lynch came to Lunit's office. His office was very grand, and it could be seen that he had a good life in the past few years.

All kinds of exquisite and luxurious furniture make this place not like a factory owner's office, but like a president's office, but this also further supports Lunit's difficulties at this time, as well as some small antics .

Lynch sat on a separate sofa. Lunet's secretary brought him coffee, but he didn't drink it. Who knows when the coffee beans were grown. Judging from the operating conditions of this factory, they might even Buying coffee beans requires a budget.

Lunit looked at Lynch with an expectant face. He was eager for Lynch to give him a positive answer, even if it was just some trivial small orders, he could last for a while.

Many factory owners like Lunit are actually facing the same embarrassing situation. Once they announce a complete shutdown and cannot resume work in a short period of time, they violate the land use agreement they signed with the city hall.

Not only will they lose their factory land, but they will also lose all the real estate on the land. Even if they can survive for a while at that time, they will directly declare bankruptcy under this blow.

So even if these factory owners really can't raise money, even if they borrow money or borrow money, they have to start work every once in a while, at least they can get rid of these problems.

He looked at Lynch longingly, and Lynch naturally gave him some hope, "Do you have the latest issue of a magazine related to fashion? Newspapers are also fine."

Lunit immediately looked at his secretary, and the secretary quickly said yes, and quickly found a fashion magazine from last month, which contained some beautiful clothes and some accessories, all of which were the latest trends in the fashion world. Some cutting edge stuff.

Lynch flipped through them casually, then threw the magazine on the table, "Can you make these clothes, bags and accessories here?"

Lunet was a little surprised. He wasn't sure what Lynch meant, but he nodded, "It's not difficult. For jewelry, my blanket factory is capable, and a garment factory can do it." , they are not technically difficult, mainly because of the innovation and concept of design.”

Lynch nodded noncommittally, "Using similar materials, choose some of the most fashionable and popular clothing styles at present, and one hundred pieces of each type will be released first, and one thousand pieces of each type of accessories and accessories will be produced. I'll give you a dollar profit, can you do it?"

Lunit picked up the magazine with difficulty, and looked at the introduction of some fashion and famous brand accessories on it. These are the products of some big brands, and these are all design patents. "I will be held accountable for making these products without authorization." responsibility, and even be sued..."

Lynch just smiled, "If you are sued, you won't go bankrupt immediately, but without this order, you won't be able to survive for a few days."

"Do you choose to let your business continue to face lawsuits that may not happen, or choose to go bankrupt in order to stick to some ideas?"

"I have a lot of respect for those who have faith, but I don't sympathize with them. How would you choose?"

"Mr. Lunett?!"
