Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 331 The concerns of factory owners

Since then, the Nak Weaving Factory has developed steadily, and everyone has quickly adapted to a new life. However, as the space for production optimization has shrunk, the increase in production capacity has also slowed down. From May 20th to May 25th, The accumulation of six days has only increased by about 7%, and the total output has reached 7.5 times of the original.

   With such achievements, it is enough for the stable operation of the Nak Weaving Factory, and the Equality Association will also be able to pay back slowly. After half a year to a year, it will officially start to make profits with the help of the pilot factory.

  However, if it slows down like this, 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 it in two months.

  Villac, Winston, Andre and the others knew that they and the Nak Weaving Factory had officially encountered a bottleneck.

  The development of the factory has reached the best in the conventional state. If they want to break through the existing achievements and do better, they must continue to make more subversive changes.

   And how to change next, how to continue to move forward, without being forced to cut expenses and reduce workers' benefits to achieve the goal, everyone still has no idea.

   While they were thinking about how to get through the last step, the aftermath work of the counterfeit gang has also come to an end these days. With Keating in charge, the Equality Society eventually compensated the deceived people in Kipp City with 16,580 gold grams.

  A total of 1,569 people were registered on the counterfeit group's bill, which means that Keating's overissued amount was only 890 gold grams, which was far lower than the initial estimate.

  An extra 890 gold grams can guarantee that every person who is really deceived can receive the money, and it is good to miss any innocent person. In the eyes of the Equality Council, this is definitely a good deal.

  Bein, who is in the stable situation of Laizein, also affirmed the outstanding contributions made by Veraker, Keating and others in this incident.

  After lamenting the outstanding abilities of several people every day, Boyin felt more and more grateful for his arrangement.

   It was a wrong attack. He happened to mobilize able-bodied officers such as Veraker and Keating to carry out the mission. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the sub-station in Kip City to deal with the government's hand, and it would inevitably lead to a worse situation.

  The world situation is unpredictable, equality will be under tremendous pressure and at the same time, it is necessary to size up the situation and ride the tide of the times to move forward bravely.

  May 27, morning

  Kip City, Light Industrial Zone, Waverled Weaving Mill

Wilfred Weaving Factory is the largest weaving factory in Kip City. The factory owner, Wilfred, who has always ignored anyone, 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 embraced politely with the two factory owners, one fat and one thin.

   "Long time no see, my friend." Fat Rodney, who owns multiple businesses in Kip City, had a smile on his face.

   "Yeah." Thin Jeffrey said very little.

  Invited the two to the office to sit down, and arranged coffee and brandy at their request, Wilfred got straight to the point: "I don't know if you two have heard of a weaving factory called Nack recently."

   Fatty Rodney knew that Wilfred called himself and Jeffrey to come over to talk about this matter, so he took a sip of his drink and nodded: "Of course I know, this is the main topic of conversation among people in our area recently."

   "A very bold factory." Jeffrey briefly commented.

"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, and the new owner who bought it was a son of a powerful man from Laizein. It won’t surprise anyone to do anything. But beyond my expectation, they have made so many drastic reforms, it seems that they are not playing for fun, but have really made a rigorous plan.” Wilfred Worried about the conclusions you have come to in the end.

"You've heard that their factory's output is amazing, and the income is not bad, right? I don't think this is true. Their expenditure is too much, but their production capacity has not changed. How can this be? Is it possible to make a profit? I think the biggest possibility is that the new factory owner said so indiscriminately for the sake of face, and they will go bankrupt in a short time, or restore the previous system and linger on." Rodney didn't take this matter too seriously. On the road, his experience told him that the gang at Nak's Weaving Mills wasn't really going to make a fuss.

   "As far as I know, this matter should be true." Jeffrey said.

   Rodney glanced at Jeffrey with a calm face: "What do you say? What did you find?"

"The shops connected to our factory also have business contacts 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 rich people from Laizein are , and it is not possible to bribe shops to fake false appearances, so their words should not be false." Jeffrey explained his basis in detail.

"It's also impossible to say, so many benefits can be given to the workers for nothing, what else can't be done..." Rodney still didn't want to believe it, "Think about it, how much work those lowly workers can do, we It is very clear that their output cannot be so high, and it is even more impossible for those workers to double their work efficiency after cutting their working hours in half. Most of the workers in the cloth factory are old, weak, sick and disabled. The previous factory owners were unwilling to equip the production line with new machinery and mechanization, so they hired them at extremely low prices. No matter how you look at it, such a group of people does not look like such a Great, otherwise the former Nak Weaving Factory would not have to be 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. Believe it or not, the result is the same as what Jeffrey said. The output of the Nak Weaving Factory is really So tall." Wilfried shrugged.

   "Really, really?" Rodney was stunned, "How, how is this possible? Could it be that they developed a newer and more efficient machine?"

   "The machines are just like us," Jeffrey said.

   "Then...they recruited more people secretly?" Rodney guessed unwillingly.

Wilfred felt that Rodney's speculation was becoming more and more unreliable, and quickly interrupted to clarify the core issue he wanted to discuss: "First, according to the investigation, they have not recruited new people. Second, even if they recruit more People, the cost will also increase accordingly, if they recruit new people and do not improve the salary, then the new system will be in vain. I invite the two of you here not to discuss the truth of this matter, because the truth has already been determined, we need Thinking about how exactly this was done, why did they come to Kip to do this, how does this affect us, and how do we choose in the future?"

"I have been researching the Nak Weaving Factory recently, and I can basically confirm that the current results are all due to their new system, that is, the twenty-seven items are all aimed at improving the welfare of workers." Jeffrey put his arms around his chest and said in a deep voice, "That is to say, they have taken a completely different path from ours. We are constantly extracting the value of workers, while they are giving benefits to help workers burst into greater prosperity. Value. With the staggering numbers they’re putting out right now, we’re grossly misjudged about worker capacity.”

   "You mean, we thought we'd maximized the value of our workers, but we weren't even close?" Rodney asked.

"Yes."

   Rodney suddenly laughed: "If we can not only pay benefits like the Nak Weaving Factory, but also fully develop the potential of the workers, wouldn't we be able to earn much more money than we do now?"

Wilfred frowned: "It's not that simple, those low-class people are not outright fools, and they won't do even a little more work without a little profit. But I also thought of your thoughts , if we can actually do it, it will make a lot of money."

"I feel that the hope of going out of the third way 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 don't care. Mind copying their reforms, after all, it’s not bad to make money and make workers feel grateful to me.” Jeffrey was calm and did not regard the Nak Weaving Factory as an enemy. Probably seeing 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 benefits will be considerable, and overall it will still make They make a lot of money. For example, schools, if all factories promote the reform of the 27-point system, how many more students will there be? How big will the potential of the school become?"

The cautious Wilfred disagreed: "Jeffrey's analysis is very pertinent, but I don't think things are that simple, and we must not look at them optimistically. Being able to make the current results shows that they must have made sufficient preparations. Then Why do they have to come to Kip City to do this? Do they think it is suitable to try new ideas first, or do they have other plans to monopolize the textile industry while expanding their interests? This is a chaebol from Laizein, with such a big deal, Their ideas are so advanced, their ambitions are not limited to that.”

"Yeah, if they succeed, all the workers will scramble to buy more or simply build their own textile factories. Then what will we compete with them? Is it possible to imitate them completely? Wouldn't it be dragged by them? No matter how powerful we are, we can’t compete with Laizein’s rich capital.” Rodney immediately became worried after being instructed by Wilfred.

   "Then do you have any countermeasures?" Jeffrey looked at Wilfred.

  If the situation really develops as Wilfred said, then the most severely affected of them must be the Wilfred Weaving Factory.

   "I invited the two of you here to discuss a solution together 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 jointly resist the Nak Weaving Factory. As long as the new model of the Nak Weaving Factory fails, any negative There will be no impact, and even workers will work harder for us after recognizing the reality."

   "Boycott? How do you resist? They came from Laizein, so it's not that easy to deal with, right?" Rodney was very afraid of Laizein's background, for fear of accidentally provoking big shots.

"Their main cooperation is with Laizein. Our hands can't reach that far. Even if we want to boycott them, it really won't affect anything." Jeffrey shook his head slightly, not thinking that boycotting is a feasible thing .

Seeing that the two of them were "on the verge of death" and did not have the courage and determination to do anything, Wilfred gritted his teeth angrily: "Have you never thought about what will happen if you just sit and watch the Nak Weaving Factory grow like this? The biggest possibility is that we are all swallowed up by Laizein’s chaebol! The textile industry is monopolized by them! At this time, there is no need to worry about their Laizein’s background, 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? Don't we provoke a force that would not treat us in the first place? "

"So what if you provoke them? Laizein is Laizein, and Kip is Kip. They are outsiders after all, and their energy is limited after all! I don't believe that we can't fight against them together!" Wilfred said viciously .

  In fact, the other two present here have many industries under their names. The weaving factory is important to them but not fatal.

Only Wilfred, the weaving factory is his pillar, he must not just watch his biggest money-making machine collapse, so he brought in Jeffrey and Rodney, trying to tie them together through benefits, Let's protect our industry together.

"So what do you want to do? Most of the fabrics they produce are sold to Laizein. We are powerless to intervene in this point, so we can only turn our attention back to the factory itself." Jeffrey remained calm as if he was out of the matter, and did not reveal himself. tendencies, but set Wilfred's ideas completely.

"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 let their cost continue to increase, or let their output decrease. As long as we find a way to improve Their expenditures have been reduced, their output has been reduced, and everyone can see that the Nak Weaving Factory cannot make money, and the crisis will naturally be lifted!"

   "Well..." Jeffrey remained unmoved, "More specifically? How to increase their expenditure? How to reduce production?"

Wilfred secretly scolded Jeffrey, who clearly wanted to enjoy the benefits, but said calmly on the surface: "This requires us to discuss it together. I believe that our combined strength is enough to fight in the area we are most familiar with. The land covers the sky with only one hand. It will not be difficult just to control the development of a Nak weaving factory."
