Struggle in the Steam Age

The reason why the factory manager is so proud is very simple. After the manpower sent by Lawrence and the others to conduct a comprehensive renovation of the factory during this period, the profit margin of the entire factory has greatly increased under modern management.

At the same time, because of the introduction of modern management, the treatment for those workers has naturally been improved. In this way, for those workers, this dairy factory named New Sauer is naturally quite attractive to them.

That's why so many people came to sign up when they knew they were recruiting, hoping to become workers here.

Actually, when we recruit people, the wages we offer are not higher than those of the surrounding factories. After all, our factory will continue to operate in the factory area, so sometimes we can only compromise.

The factory manager shook his head and said. But we can provide better benefits to workers.

Speaking of this, the factory manager pointed to an open space under construction outside the factory wall. For example, over there we are building some 4-5 storey apartments according to the drawings you drew, which is one of the best benefits for those workers.

Although each of these apartments is only about 30 to 40 square meters, whether it is cooking or going to the toilet, they can be used in the public spaces on this floor, but this should be regarded as the best residence within a limited budget.

I have to say that you do have an unparalleled talent in this area. Afterwards, we asked several architects to carry out detailed design, but we didn't expect that they would not be able to modify much from the standard you designed.

The factory manager looked at Lawrence with admiration. Lawrence could see that this admiration was due to his admiration for the construction drawings of the buildings he had provided before, not because of his status.

The drawings provided by Lawrence actually come from the tube houses where he lived for a year or two when he was a child in his previous life. Back then, these residential buildings solved the accommodation problem of a large number of people under the condition of limited budget.

Therefore, after learning that the enterprises here need some low-cost and high-density housing, Lawrence quickly remembered those buildings and drew a rough drawing of the tube building based on his memory, and asked the managers sent to the industrial area to bring the drawings. Construction here.

Although the drawings that Lawrence drew from his memory only included the parts he saw, the management personnel only found a few professionals to easily come up with the detailed drawings of the overall construction after getting this part of the drawings. Then a new building was built according to the detailed drawings produced.

It would be great if the methods I thought of could help everyone. Lawrence said, looking at the construction in the distance. When those warlords bought land back then, they directly fooled the local real estate agents, so all the factories they bought were located in the fringe areas of the city, and all kinds of transportation and logistics were not very convenient.

But this is good news for Lawrence and the others. At least when they want to expand the factory now, they only need to spend a little money to buy a large piece of land.

Yes, this not only shows your kindness, but also greatly reduces the operating cost of the entire factory. The young factory manager, who seems to be only in his thirties, said with emotion.

According to your order, we bought a large piece of land around here. In addition to the current and future expansion of the factory, part of the land will be used to build the living quarters of the workers.

According to our calculations, if all the workers live in this living area, then we can improve the labor efficiency of the workers and produce more high-quality products without increasing the overall labor cost. At the same time, we can also improve The income of workers gives them stronger consumption power.

Yes, that's why I want to build this worker's residential area called Worker's New Village. Lawrence said, looking at the busy construction of people and machinery.

In the case of concentrated personnel, we can reduce a lot of unnecessary consumption through scale and improve various efficiencies at the same time. And this situation is a very important thing for the operators of our factories and those workers. Nice thing.

After passing through a large construction site, Lawrence and the others simply passed through a disinfection room, changed into white coats and hats, and then entered the factory.

As the first scholar in the world who put forward the theory of disinfection, Lawrence naturally set an example in this regard and introduced a complete disinfection system in the factory.

After these disinfection systems were put into operation for about ten days, the factory management, who thought it was a waste of money, immediately praised Lawrence's decision.

Because in the case that other processes have not changed, the cheese produced in strict accordance with the sterilization process does not often deteriorate during the production process as before, which is equivalent to reducing production costs and improving the quality of dairy products. profit.

After watching the production process in the entire factory building and summoning some phantoms of fire poisonous bees and earth ants to conduct a thorough inspection, Lawrence felt that the situation was really good and left the production factory building. Then I tasted some product samples in the warehouse behind the factory.

The taste is not bad. After tasting, Lawrence gave a good evaluation.

But Safiel asked a question after eating the small slice of cheese. Why is this cheese different in taste from the cheeses I've eaten before? It doesn't seem to be more fragrant than the cheeses I've eaten before.

We think it may be caused by high-temperature sterilization. The factory director said after taking a look at Lawrence, For safety reasons, we use a high-pressure container with an internal temperature of 140 degrees to sterilize the milk before it is used to make cheese. According to Lord Earl's theory, this process probably eliminates some of the microorganisms in the milk that affect the flavor of the cheese-

There is no way, after all, if these cheeses are produced in the original way, not only will the shelf life of the cheese be short, but there may be some harmful microorganisms in it that will multiply and cause food poisoning to those who eat the cheese.

Lawrence also shrugged and said. Of course, the cheese made in this way is a little thinner, not as rich as traditional cheese.

Yes, the flavors of the cheeses we produce now are significantly different from those of traditional cheeses. The factory manager said helplessly, but soon he became energetic again.

However, also because of disinfection, our cheese has a longer shelf life, lower cost and safer reputation. Therefore, during this period of time, our products can be said to be in short supply. As long as the products are produced every day, people will buy them immediately.

Compared with the past, industrially produced food will always taste worse in most cases, but the advantage is that it can reduce the price of food. In this way, people who could not afford these foods in the past will also become new consumers. Equivalent to expanding the market and increasing profits.

This is the differentiated competition you told me before. Safiel turned to Lawrence and asked after listening to what the factory manager said.

Yes, that's it. Lawrence nodded with a smile, I don't think the rich people would eat these new cheeses, but their appearance can make the ordinary people in the past buy more cheese .”

It's really good news. After learning that the new type of cheese produced has broad prospects for development, Saifeier showed a bright smile on his face. As the future Mrs. August, she will naturally be happy for the bright future of this family business.

By the way, are those factories over there also producing cheese? After looking at the surrounding factories, Safiel asked curiously, pointing to several factories in the distance.
