Blackstone Code Chapter 148: 1 long and 1 short choose the longest

/

As soon as Lynch got 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.

In the era of no mobile communication, this is very inconvenient. If a person does not stay in a specific place, the whole world cannot find him!

Lynch quickly called Ferrara back, and he explained his purpose for calling Lynch.

The mayor has submitted Lynch's application form for joining the Federal Progressive Party. These do not need Lynch to operate by himself. The Federal Progressive Party Development Office will help him get these forms.

At the same time, on Wednesday, the day after tomorrow, the state office of the Federal Progressive Party will send someone to meet Lynch in Sabine City. A member like him who was recommended by a city mayor and joined the Progressive Party will be a member of the Progressive Party. receive more advanced treatment.

The development commissioner will talk to Lynch about his impressions of the Progressive Party, whether Lynch himself has any suggestions for the Progressive Party, and whether he has anything to do with the Progressive Party.

Ferrar told Lynch that he could say anything but never ask for help, which is not a good thing.

Many people who have just joined the Progressive Party do not know about this, and they talk about some difficulties they face in business or work. Some of them can be solved by the Progressive Party. After they solve it at will, they will start asking for return.

Not the nasty, endless demands, they just tell you, we helped you, so should you give someone else—some other progressive party friend what you can do?

In fact, this method can easily make one person and the whole completely integrated, but sometimes it also has some problems, and not everyone likes this kind of "giving".

In addition, there will be a charity auction in the state on Saturday night to raise funds to solve some of the city's unemployment benefits. Lynch is also invited to participate, and next Monday, Lynch will stay When there is time, the City Hall will hold an inquiry session to discuss with everyone how to cheer up the development of the city.

Lynch did not refuse any of these activities, and carefully recorded the time. The higher the value of a person in society, the more unable to guarantee complete independence.

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 make your own contribution.

Like the kind of person who has a lot of money and can do nothing all day and just keep playing, whether it is this world or another world, it does not exist.

All kinds of meetings, all kinds of activities, none of them can be absent. Sometimes the ladies and gentlemen of the upper class will be very tired, and this kind of mental and physical fatigue is more difficult than the simple physical fatigue of manual workers. Much tired.

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

The next day, on Tuesday afternoon, Lynch drove to the location agreed with Lunitt to visit his factory.

This guy met him at a previous cocktail party to see if there was a chance to cooperate, which is what Lynch came here for.

He believes that as the situation in the Federation gets worse and worse, many things will relax the requirements, which naturally includes employment-related bills.

People are going to starve to death. Who cares about the bill or not? The most important thing is to make money, buy food, and fill your stomach!

As soon as the car stopped, Lunitt and his secretary hurriedly greeted him, and refused Lynch's driver to open the door for him, and opened the door for Lynch himself.

How could a factory owner make such a move if it weren't for his current precarious situation?

"Excuse me, come and pick me up in person..." Lynch got out of the car and sorted out his clothes, stretched out his hand and shook Lunitt's hand. Compared with his calmness and restraint and his strong self-confidence, Lunitt's It's like some unremarkable supporting role in some stories.

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

"Yes, I'm already very happy that you can come, so why not visit my factory next?" he said, leading Lynch to the factory.

The factory has about 40 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 actually They are all here, and they are all wearing clean work clothes and are working hard.

Lunette probably regarded Lynch as a young man with little social experience, thinking that the other party had never been in the factory area, and naturally he would not understand how stupid what he did.

In fact, whether it is a sewing worker or a worker who does heavy physical labor, their work clothes cannot be clean, especially the workers on the assembly line. The high-intensity work and higher pressure make them not concerned at all. Have you soiled your clothes?

But here, everyone is wearing clean clothes, and they approach their work slowly, as if they were dealing with a work of art, not 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 this semi-manual and semi-steam-powered industrial sewing machine used in the Lunite factory. It has a gear handle and four pedals. It is used when dealing with some details. It is done by way of human pedaling.

Only those sewing jobs with long lines will use steam power, which also makes the workshop very hot. With the sound of Chi Chi's pressure relief, there will be constant heat flow 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.

The hidden cost of expensive electricity bills is still too high compared to cheap steam. It is possible that one day's electricity consumption can buy enough fuel for a week's use, so steam-powered sewing machines are the mainstream.

As for how hot it will make the workstations and workspaces, that's not something factory owners think about at all, they never care if workers are comfortable while working.

"The machines are very new..." Lynch observed, these machines seemed to be well maintained, and there was no obvious wear and tear.

Lunitt doesn't know why, but nodded in agreement, "These are all new machines that were updated two years ago, and they can be said to be indistinguishable from new."

Two years ago, the business was not so difficult to do. He invested a lot of money in upgrading. As a result, he soon encountered problems such as production reduction, and the loss was very serious.

What he said is not an exaggeration. These machines have been used less and less after they were bought. At first, they could keep working one day and rest one day, and now they have basically stopped working.

If it wasn't to avoid being filed for bankruptcy, he might have filed for a complete shutdown long ago.

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

All kinds of exquisite and luxurious furnishings make this place not like a factory owner's office, but a president's office, but it also bears the difficulties of Lunit at this time, and some small Little funny.

Lynch sat on a separate sofa. Lunit's secretary brought him coffee. He didn't drink it. The ghost knows when these coffee beans were made. Judging from the operation of this factory, They may even need to budget for coffee beans.

Lunitt looked at Lynch with a look of anticipation. He was eager for Lynch to give him a positive answer, even if it was just some trivial small orders, which could keep him going for a while.

Many factory owners like Lunit are actually facing the same embarrassing situation. Once they announce a complete shutdown and can no longer resume work in the short term, they are in breach of their land use agreement with the city hall.

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

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

He looked at Lynch eagerly, and Lynch naturally gave him some hope, "Do you have the latest issue of a fashion-related magazine here? A newspaper will do."

Lunit immediately looked at his secretary~IndoMTL.com~ The secretary quickly said yes, and quickly found a fashion magazine from last month, which was full of beautiful clothes, and some Jewelry, are some of the most cutting-edge things in the fashion industry.

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

Lunitt was a little surprised, he wasn't sure what Lynch meant by this sentence, but he nodded, "It's not difficult, for accessories, my blanket factory has the ability, and the clothes or other garment factory They can be completed, they are not technically difficult, they are mainly the innovation and concept of design.”

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

Lunit was embarrassed to pick up the magazine and looked at the introduction of some fashion and brand-name accessories above. These are products of some big brands, and these are all patented designs, "I make these products without authorization. will be held accountable and even prosecuted..."

Lynch just smiled, "You won't go bankrupt immediately if you are sued, but without this order, you can't last a few days."

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

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

"Mr. Lunitt?!"
