Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 848 Good Mood

"Oh..., hahaha!" David Lawrence has been feeling tense recently, but today he seldom laughed out loud. He walked into a newly opened printing factory on Staten Island with a group of guards, and more than two hundred employees recruited in the factory were working diligently.

With the start of the paper mill, the downstream printing industry can naturally start work, and by the way, it can also drive the development of industries such as ink. The social benefits of this kind of industrial chain are extremely huge.

The management of the factory followed behind David Lawrence. Seeing that their boss was in a good mood, they also giggled happily. The general manager stood aside and introduced: "Mr. Lawrence, I assure you that the management of our factory is more reasonable, more humane, and more lovable.

We implement an eight-hour working system. Compared with the 16-hour inhuman deeds of the "Aurora Legion", our practice is obviously more in line with universal values, and it will also make employees love you more.

We have also set up labor unions, set up insurance and pension funds for employees, and solved their life problems. Compared with Victor Hugo, the vampire, our management level is obviously more sophisticated and higher.

We heard that every day in the factory of the "Aurora Legion", workers fainted due to heavy work, and the employees who were forced to rest naturally fell into despair without any salary income. And we are much better, people love to come to work for your business by comparison. "

Hehehe... that sounds really good! But David Lawrence laughed for a long time, and suddenly said, "Doesn't this mean that our production cost is much higher than that of the 'Aurora Legion'?"

Ah..., the ass was slapped on the horse's leg!

"Uh..., this, we mainly consider solving job problems for more people. After all, we are a responsible government. And..." The general manager of the printing factory didn't know what to say.

David Lawrence also knew that the people below were trying to figure out what he meant every day, and sometimes it was better to speak clearly. He moved closer to the general manager and said in a low voice: "There are so many workers now, there is no need to pity them too much, there is no need for trade unions and the eight-hour working system.

The welfare benefits such as pension and insurance should be compared with the practice of the "Aurora Legion", just a little bit better. Sixteen hours of continuous work is indeed too long. It can be cut into two eight-hour periods. It would be much better to let the workers rest for four hours in between. What do you think? "

I feel like a ghost, boss, you are talking, let's do it! Anyway, it's not us who are exhausted. A bunch of people in the printing factory nodded repeatedly, praising the wisdom and wisdom of their leader.

David Lawrence continued to wear a smile on his face. To be honest, he has been very happy recently because he has reached a cooperation agreement with Victor Hugo—the two sides exchange agricultural products for industrial products.

The "Aurora Legion" recruited employees with all kinds of inferior food shipped by sea, and restarted many factories to produce a large amount of supplies that are in short supply in modern life. This idea gave David Lawrence a lot of inspiration. He felt that he could create a prescription and grasp the medicine, and replicate the same model for development.

Factories and workers are ready-made, the key is how to organize them with food for work. David Lawrence thought about using his precious grain reserves to do this. But..., food is dwindling day by day, God knows when it will rain?

So David Lawrence wanted to import food from the 'Aurora Legion', anyway, he had a lot of gold in his hands. In order to solve the shortage of employment and supplies, it is worth consuming a batch of gold.

But Zhou Qingfeng is a ghost, so he won't be fooled--gold is used by birds, you can't eat it when you are hungry, and you can't drink it when you are thirsty. At present, it is enough to deal with commercial circulation. In the future, the uncle will print credit currency. If you want food, you can exchange it with industrial equipment. Note that it is heavy industrial equipment.

Encountering such a request, David Lawrence was heartbroken with anger. Now he has figured out Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts—heavy industrial equipment can't be duplicated now, if you take it away, it will be gone. Even if it can't be used, it can't be kept for the enemy.

Speaking of which, this incident really reminded David Lawrence,

You must know that the Brotherhood of Steel is currently gathering forces. There used to be more than 100 regional commanders, but after continuous mergers and integrations, there are only seven remaining, and now no one can swallow anyone else.

So David Lawrence took the same risk as Zhou Qingfeng. He tried to buy industrial equipment from other allies and sell them to the "Aurora Legion", and he also got agricultural products from the "Aurora Legion" to sell to the allies of the Brotherhood. Make money from the difference.

This business is really easy to do, and everyone has benefited from it in the near future. Among them, the protein maggot powder produced by Zhou Qingfeng has the largest sales volume. It has a huge output and a wide market, and it is very popular.

In addition, dehydrated vegetables are also selling very well. Although the taste is not as good as that of fresh vegetables, they can supplement various nutrients anyway.

Even filtered gutter oil is regarded as a good product, and now edible oil is too scarce. Who cares if you ditch or not, anyway, it's not for the big shots in the upper class.

From David Lawrence's point of view, Zhou Qingfeng got a lot of heavy industrial equipment, but that guy was really just for self-protection. There is a lack of supporting facilities and technical personnel, and even the power supply cannot be guaranteed, and heavy industry is out of the question-give it, and the kid won't be able to use it anyway.

And the "Aurora Legion" is far away, and will not be able to threaten the New York Brotherhood for a while. Instead, other allies are around, and sharpening their knives is not a good kind. If it weren't for the common enemy of 'Enclave', the war would have started long ago.

And the price difference earned from food and equipment trade has become a magic weapon for David Lawrence to restart light industry, improve employment and stabilize society. At present, more than 20 companies have reopened, and more than 10,000 people have found jobs. As long as this momentum continues, the entire New York area will be stable.

As for the consequences of losing heavy industry, in David Lawrence's view, as long as there is a period of five or six years of stability, North America, where the infrastructure is still there and the talent and technology are well preserved, can still rebuild heavy industry.

The key now is stability over everything else, to ensure that you will not starve to death when the global famine breaks out first. If people are starving to death, everything else is empty talk. This is really to endure a moment of calm, take a step back and open up the sea and the sky!

The most important thing is that North America is not only the United States, the heavy industry in Canada is also very good. David Lawrence regards Quebec and Ontario as his back garden. If there is anything missing, just get it from the back garden.

Under such circumstances, how could David Lawrence be unhappy? He has been in a good mood for the past few days, and he is a little ready to move, thinking about whether he should continue to ease the relationship with his wife and live a good married life.

But sometimes the idea is too good, but the reality is cruel. Just when David Lawrence was about to finish his visit to the printing factory and leave, a batch of new prints suddenly came down from the printing assembly line. The patterns of these prints were so weird that one couldn't help but grab one and take a look.

Just seeing this, David Lawrence was stunned in surprise, "This guy, how could he be so bold? This is challenging the bottom line of the world's conscience! This kind of behavior of a tyrant, a madman, and a barbarian is beyond reproach to others. He did it secretly, how dare he make it public?!" 8
