Blackstone Code

Handsome was the factory director's first impression of the federal businessman in front of him. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the COM website directly with your browser to watch the fastest chapter updates)

Being so handsome makes him feel a bit inferior, which makes him feel ugly.

The second is temperament.

In the young man in front of him, he felt a temperament that should not appear in people of this age.

Like an abyss, like an ocean.

"Mr. Lynch, you must be a noble, right?" The more the director looked at him, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was a noble.

The unique aristocratic temperament appears in this young man, but it is not the temperament of a capitalist.

The mayor's secretary frowned, "Mr. Lynch is an outstanding capitalist in the Federation..."

Lynch raised his hand to stop the mayor's secretary, and said with a smile on his face, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with you saying that. I do have the title of Gefra."

"Maybe you don't know clearly, but that's right."

The mayor's secretary's stern face suddenly changed to a smile, and he complimented with a slightly surprised expression, "It turns out that Mr. Lynch has such an identity. It's really amazing."

The factory director still had that flattering look. As for what he was thinking, perhaps only he himself knew.

The group of people came to the conference room in the office building. Under the supervision of the mayor's secretary, the factory director began to introduce the current situation of the factory.

"Our factory was built in... and has a history of nearly sixty years."

"Currently there are more than 1,300 employees in the factory..."

A factory with a long history, it has experienced a long history of development from the earliest hand-crank washing machines to the current electric washing machines.

At its peak, the products it produced were best-selling in the province, ranking first in sales!

In fact, this is also related to the local operating characteristics. The competitiveness of the industry is directly related to the controlling aristocracy behind it.

The competitiveness of federal goods depends on many factors, including technical content, appearance design, ease of use, etc.

But in Penjiao, the core competitiveness of the company is the controlling aristocracy.

The greater the noble title, the greater the power, and the stronger the market competitiveness!

And vice versa.

This is why the businessmen of Pengeo must be able to bind themselves to noble status if they want to develop.

Without the support of the nobility, the scale of the enterprise would be fine.

Once it develops without the support of the nobles, it will be brutally "dismembered".

In this power-centered society, wealth and everything else have to stand aside in front of power!

Listening to the factory director recalling the glorious history of the past, and seeing the mayor's secretary's reserved, polite and slightly proud smile, Lin Qi found it very interesting.

Because he felt the "pride" of these people who had not yet recognized the reality, and this kind of pride actually had no meaning or value at all.

Unwilling to face facts, face defeat, and admit defeat.

But then again, if basking in the glory of the past makes them feel better and doesn't hurt others, Lynch won't disturb them.

In short, this is a washing machine factory with a glorious history, and it has also streamlined its personnel. Originally, there were more people.

Lynch liked it because it was close to federally controlled bases and was located in the central and western Pengeo Port Trade Zone. It was also well located.

It is connected in all directions and has a rich railway network. To the west is the Eastern Ocean, and not far to the south is the logistics port of Nagalir.

At the same time, the future development of the city is also very promising.

Perhaps the Pengeo people themselves have not noticed that the originally economically developed areas of Pengeo were in the central and northern regions, and this has always been the case.

Because these areas are home to Pengeo's royal family and the country's great nobles, they are the concrete symbols of the economy.

It seems like a joke that a big noble can support a city, but it is a fact.

The history of Pengeo is a history of constant invasion and plunder. The wealth possessed by these great nobles is astonishing!

Therefore, in order to provide them with better services, the area where they live is the most prosperous area.

But after the war, the southern region of Pengeo now began to gradually develop.

The reason for this result is the widespread smuggling problem.

The Federation severed Pengeo's trade relations with the rest of the world, at least officially.

However, private trade relations among the people have not only not been severed, but have become more frequent.

Things that Pengeo officials can't buy can enter their country through smuggling, and the best and most convenient port is in the south.

It is adjacent to the two major world trade ports in Nagalir, and even a little leakage can make the south prosperous.

A large amount of smuggled goods entered Penjiao from the south, and the southern cities spontaneously formed invisible industrial chains around smuggling.

It’s not like the higher-ups in the empire don’t know about it, but they won’t ban it because these smuggled things will eventually fall into their hands.

Although the price may be a little more expensive, at least you can buy it, especially some scarce things, which can solve many problems encountered in development.

Now with the full opening of Pengeo market, it goes south to the easternmost part of Nagalir, which is also the world's maritime logistics center.

Not far away is the economic and financial center of the Southern Hemisphere!

This provides an extremely favorable opportunity for the rapid rise of the southern economy. This place will definitely become a big city in the future. It still looks ordinary now, but it definitely has potential.

Many people may not be able to see these things, and the times have limited their vision.

Their thinking is still stuck on the old path of establishing an economic circle around the great nobles, under the premise of fully liberalizing the market.

The economic environment that the great nobles can create is far inferior to the development that free trade can bring to the world.

The transportation here is convenient, the factory occupies a very large area, and the price is cheap. Lynch likes it very much.

During the conversation, Mr. Wardrick returned from the workshop with a team of engineers.

Lynch apologized to the factory director and the mayor's secretary, and went to another room with Mr. Wardrick and the engineers on the grounds of discussing more private matters.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room seemed to relax a lot.

The factory director took out a cigarette and handed it to the mayor's secretary. At the same time, he took out a lighter and lit it for him. "Do you think it can work this time?"

The mayor's secretary took a puff of cigarette and frowned. After taking a look at the cigarette in his hand, he never smoked again.

If converted into federal soles, this pack of cigarettes would be worth ten cents at most.

But converted into Austrian dollars, it's worth one and a half yuan.

Very low-end, very cheap cigarettes, but very popular because they are cheap.

"The problem is not big, but you have to be mentally prepared. Even if they buy your factory, there is a high possibility that they will not continue to produce washing machines."

The mayor's secretary's words made the factory director a little confused, "If you don't produce washing machines, what can you produce?"

"And we only produce washing machines, and the assembly line in the workshop is also equipped with equipment for producing washing machines..."

The mayor's secretary was just about to raise his hand to smoke as usual, but thinking of the cheap taste, he put his hand back.

"I heard they were going to make cars..."

The factory director wanted to say something, but didn't know how.

He realized that many things were about to change.

In another room, Mr. Wardrick was smoking a cigarette that cost nearly ten dollars apiece and chatting with Lynch about the factory here.

"The supporting equipment is very complete, and the machines on the assembly line are very new. I heard that they were only updated before the war broke out."

"The factories are also very new and well maintained. The ceilings are high enough. If we buy this place, we won't need to carry out large-scale updates and reconstruction of the factory buildings."

"There are basically male workers in the factory, and they are all skilled workers. After training, I believe it will not take long for us to be able to produce smoothly."

Currently, there are female workers in many factories across the federation, and it seems that the gender ratio of male and female workers is balanced.

In fact, this is not a good thing for capitalists.

Putting aside the discussion of whether female workers can outperform men in terms of physical fitness, just reopening an all-female production workshop for women can cause a lot of trouble.

In the past, everyone thought that liberating the female labor force was a good thing, but when it comes to low-level factories, this is not the case at all.

There are endless troubles caused by gender between men and women, and in the end they can only be divided into workshops.

But there are no such problems here. Although there are some female workers in Pengeo, the proportion is relatively small, or they do not participate in the mechanical production of the workshop, but do relatively simple tasks.

The engineers also gave some suggestions on modifications, but there are actually not many places to be modified.

It doesn't cost much to buy this factory, just over 300,000.

Those machines in the assembly line can earn more than 100,000 yuan once they are resold, and then there is the cleaning of some debris and the like.

From purchase to production, the overall cost is about two million.

Because the new assembly line machinery has to be shipped from the federation, the machinery itself costs money, plus shipping costs and so on.

But once it is put into production, the products produced by this factory can radiate to the entire southern region!

After Lynch heard this, he decided to buy it.

At the same time, several more cars drove into the factory through the gate, and many workers who were already waiting for the results found it strange.

After waiting for two months, everyone was desperate. Unexpectedly, two groups of people came at once today.

Or are these two groups of people actually the same person?

They don't quite know.

A guy who looked like an official from Pengeo walked up to a car, bent over and stuck his butt out like a factory director, and opened the door.

Beads of sweat hung on his forehead, but his face was full of smiles.

Then a shiny leather shoe came out of the car and stepped on the ground.

Looking at the shiny leather shoes with pointed toes turned up, many people showed expectant expressions.

A guy with reflective hair came out of the car slowly.

He seemed... very special, but for some reason, the young man felt that he was not as good as the previous person and had a very special temperament.

This guy looks like...a clown?

"Mr. Edward, this is the factory I told you about. It has a glorious history..."
