Chapter 411: Research Mania

Back in Baymard, while Landon had been away... Baymard's industries had been extremely busy within these past few days as well.

In short, within this past week... all industries within Baymard had been painstakingly brainstorming their minds off non-stop.

For over 2 years now, the industries had chosen 2 particular weeks within the years..... and had called them the weeks of 'Research Mania'!

To put it simply, this was the time where all product suggestions that had been placed within the ballot boxes around the industries..... would be looked over diligently.

Within the first week of Research mania..... people could still put in their suggestions.

But they would have to send them directly to the offices.... and not within the ballot boxes, as all suggestions put there would be accounted for, within next year's Research mania only.

Anyway, within this 1st week..... all suggestions that had been collected throughout the year, would be organized neatly.

And within the 2nd week of Research Mania, the suggestions would be brought over to the board of directors and leaders of each industry..... where they would vote on the top 2 best ones and set their goals in creating them.

Landon had come up with this idea, so as to help the workers come up with their own unique products instead.

And the catch was that no matter how much they asked for his help, he would never intervene or give them suggestions.... except it was something that might kill or injure them.

They would have to do several trials and errors and come up with an ideal product on their own.

Within the first year that Landon came up with this plan, many of the industries had burned through all their research money with no end product.

And even within their second year, many of them had only successfully produced 1 out of 2 products as agreed.

And after the products were made, they would be screened by a group of special screeners.

Of course, it didn't end there, because after the screeners did their job..... the products would then pass through Landon, who would be the ultimate screener.

Nothing that could harm or pill people was to ever be released.

So Landon would take time off his schedule and do his own tests on whatever products that they had made.

In short, the research center and labs, were busy all year round with their plates full... as they tried their best to make these suggestions become a reality.

Cynthia Drew woke up very early in the morning, got ready, made sure that her youngest daughter got on the school bus.... and quickly rushed over to work.

She was a 32-year-old woman, who was currently the head of the research department within the FOOD industry.

This was already the second week of Research Mania, so she was very familiar with the drill already.

"Good boss!" Said a young girl with a chipper tone.

The young lady, who was her secretary... quickly brought in some documents, placed it before Cynthia, and stood still and attentive while waiting for her boss's next orders.

"Morning Nikita....

Are these the R.M files?"

"Yes boss, those are the Research Mania files."

"Good!....

We're short on time now, so please prepare everything we need for the meeting at 11 P.M.

Dismissed."

"Yes, boss!"

With that, the young lady retreated and went back to her secretary's desk outside Cynthia's office and began preparing for the meeting.

Time flew by speedily, and soon.... it was already 10:30 A.M.

Cynthia immediately left her office with one of the secretaries stationed in the room just before her office.

It only took her 20 minutes for her to leave her office and drive to one of the other buildings within the food industry.

"Morning head researcher Cynthia!"

"Morning Overseer Lyore!"

"Morning!"

"_"

Within the next few minutes, everyone simmered down and the meeting had finally started.

All right..... chief accountant Destrian..... how much have we budgeted in total for research this year?

And how does it compare with last year's?" Lyore asked.

"Even though our industry was making a ton of money previously..... we only had public exposure last year around July.

And since then, we have been exporting canned food and other items throughout the entire Pyno continent.

So, of course, this year.... the money budgeted for research, was significantly higher than those of the previous years.

In essence for research alone, this year... we were able to allocate 700,000 BAYS for the chosen projects... compared to last year's 150,000 Bays."

(**1 Bay=1 copper coin... so the amount is equivalent to 700,000 copper coins.

And is also equal to 7,000 Silver coins, or 70 gold coins)

Hearing the amount, everyone clapped excitedly as they were truly blown away by the amount.

Chief Lyore clapped and laughed out sheepishly as he usually did, as this meant that he could make more food.

One should know that Lyore was a food fanatic.

So how could he not be pleased?

Even at this moment, he had been thinking about building his house of food with any of the new products brought in as well.

As for the rest, their minds were also focused on the aspects of jew food items as well... but, the amount assigned for research was still something that really shocked them to their core.

Waaah!... that was somewhat close to 1 million BAYS.

Of course, the money would be allocated towards both chosen research projects depending on which one needed more investments assigned to them.

'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'

"Thank you Chief Accountant Destrian.

Alright..... moving on to the list at hand, let's begin with last year's suggestions that came after the deadline."

And just like that, everyone went through their entire week buying and picking the best choices.

"Flying hit air balloon drink?"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Powdered drink?"

"That's impossible!

How can a drink be powder?
