Struggle in the Steam Age

"Did you ask me to come here today because you want to keep this factory open?" Lawrence asked Safiel when he walked out of the worker's residential area with extremely bad environment.

"Yes." Safir nodded. "When I got the factory, I came here to inspect it and chatted with Uncle Jimmy. So I know that there are more than 100 families behind these 120 workers. If we don't make a move, someone else will definitely break up the factory. , these workers and their families will then be in trouble."

"Of course, I'm not that kind of bad guy." Speaking of this, Sai Feier emphasized, "The reason why I plan to keep this factory open is that I found that these workers are some very skilled workers. Although the machines in the factory are a little outdated, they are shipped very smoothly. If there is a good product, this factory will soon be brought back to life and bring us good profits.”

"After all, the demand for money on the extraordinary road is getting higher and higher. We should really consider opening up new sources of income now. It is far from enough to rely solely on our detective agency."

"You're right." Lawrence nodded, "Although taking risks is the best way for extraordinary people to obtain various resources, it's too bad to mainly rely on taking risks to make profits. If you look at those powerful Extraordinary people will find that they often have a strong and stable source of wealth behind them."

Although the extraordinary power in this world is miraculous and powerful, cultivating extraordinary people requires sufficient resources as a background, and there is no such thing as a simple epiphany and the level of extraordinary soaring. Therefore, for extraordinary people who want to achieve extraordinary achievements, it is very necessary to obtain a stable resource acquisition channel.

Except for some guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had more than mines in his family. The easiest way in this regard is naturally to seek refuge with a certain force, but in this way the degree of freedom of the defector will be greatly reduced. And many times I have to spend time doing things that I don't want to do according to the requirements of the forces.

Therefore, there are also many extraordinary people who will try to run some industries like Lawrence and Safiel. For them, it is obviously better to obtain economic independence than to be attached to other forces.

But not every extraordinary person can succeed in doing so, just like the coal boss has never become a coal miner because the coal miners dig more coal and it is easy to become. Many things in the world do not necessarily have to be reported if they pay. Extraordinary people who dare to venture out on their own have some unique skills to rely on.

The reason why Safiel thinks that this factory can continue to operate is that Lawrence has established a network in this city. Although this network is not very strong, he wants to protect such a small factory. The factory is absolutely fine.

"Yeah, that's why I hope to keep this factory." As a childhood sweetheart, Safiel easily heard the meaning of Lawrence's words that he wanted to continue to open the factory, and a smile appeared on his face .

"And it's a good thing to help Uncle Jimmy and the others. A hardworking person like this shouldn't get into trouble." Lawrence looked at Safiel, who had a surprised expression on his face, and said, at the same time Bend lightly scratched her nose. "It's not a bad thing to have compassion. I won't stop you in this regard, as long as you can grasp that degree."

"There are too many suffering people in the world. It is impossible for us to save all of them, and not everyone is worth saving." Seeing that his face was slightly flushed, Sephiel Lawrence changed the subject and said seriously.

"But it is a good thing to help those who are worthy of help within the limits of our ability, whether it is for us or for those who are helped. So I think we should persevere in doing this. go down."

After time travel, Lawrence found that although his previous life was not perfect, it was more than one level better than this world. Especially after seeing that slaughter-like operation, he found that he had many things to do.

So after discovering that Safir wanted to help those in trouble, Lawrence was actually very happy because he found a like-minded person.

Returning to the office, Safiel took out a bill from the cabinet and handed it to Lawrence. It can be seen from the bill that the debt owed by the factory is mainly for materials. Mr. Bass, who has a green forehead, used this factory to buy a large amount of materials for himself, and then put the bill on the factory's account.

The date of these bills clearly shows that the bastard actually wanted to throw the factory out early in the morning. The so-called payment in this way in grief and anger after being greened is purely for Mr. Bass to extract oil from the bones of the capitalists. It is my nature to make the most of this unfortunate news.

Lawrence guessed that even if Mr. Bass was not green this time, he would come up with some excuse to dump this thing that was already a burden on him to them.

But the good news is that these material dealers who are the creditors of the factory have been persuaded by the successful trustees that Saifeier established through the relationships before, and agreed to extend the repayment time to one year later.

"The next step is how to keep this factory going. Of course, there is no need to use the network to continue selling various hardware parts as Safir said before." Lawrence thought about taking out the paper and pen, and then took it out of the space bag An old book summoned a book charm.

"Master, I'm glad to see you again." Shumei said as she quickly turned around Lawrence, like a puppy reunited with its master after a long absence. "I feel like we've been separated for a year."

"It's only a week." Lawrence stretched out his hand subconsciously, but the book charm floated over and rubbed against Lawrence's palm, which looked more like a puppy. "It's not safe to ask you to come out in the previous environment. You know that the place I travel is an astral plane, and there are monsters everywhere. You will probably treat those monsters as snacks when you come out."

"There is indeed some danger there." After reading the part of the memory that Lawrence sent to him, the book charm shook up and down, "How can I help you now, my master?"

"I need you to draw some blueprints for me now." Lawrence said, when there are no drawing tools around, a book charm can solve all problems.

According to the level of the machinery and workers in that factory, Lawrence decided to make something that was not available in this world as the main product of the factory in the future.

At first he thought about bicycles, but later regretted that ordinary people could not afford bicycles produced at the current industrial level, and rich people did not need to buy such things even if they had their own horse-drawn carriages.

Although the previous life of the bicycle was just a simple commodity, as if it could be produced by any small factory in a village, it was once regarded as the flower of industry and the embodiment of a country's industrial level.

You must know that Lawrence's previous homeland did not produce the first fully localized bicycle until 1950. From this point, we can see how high the technical content of this thing is.

Also because of various problems, Lawrence ruled out several industrial products. Until the end, he finally found the most suitable product in his memory for the current production of that factory.

"That's it." After choosing the target, Lawrence immediately sent this part of his memory to the book charm. Soon, the book charm turned into the shape of an octopus and floated above the desk, using the tentacles made of mist to grab the pen and quickly draw on the drawings.
