Company… Roland whispered.
What?Victor was slightly stunned. If you have any doubts about where you are, I can explain it again
No, he waved his hand. It was indeed an interesting plan, at least it seemed nothing wrong.If it is to be implemented, how long will it take for you to prepare funds?
A happy look suddenly appeared in Victor's eyes. I knew you would definitely understand it. Please forgive me for being rude. Your Majesty, if you were also a businessman, your achievements would never be under any big chamber of commerce!
This metaphor seems to have lowered the king's identity, but putting the other party at the top of the industry he is good at is a way to express high recognition in aristocratic etiquette, and it can be regarded as an unconcealed flattery.
At this moment, Roland had a completely different idea in his mind: Isn’t this a large industrial company in later generations?
Settling down with technology, spontaneous recruitment of personnel, organizing production and marketing, independent profit and loss... He did not expect to hear such a complete idea in a contemporary population.
The biggest difference with the Chamber of Commerce is that the plan combines production and sales together, which can be said to be the prototype of modern private enterprises.
This may be an excellent opportunity.
In the past four years, his territory has made great progress, but it has gradually exposed its shortcomings, that is, the Executive Office has taken care of almost everything.
Any project needs to be controlled by the administrative department, from the number of people being prepared to the allocation of budgets, these complicated work regulations take up most of the time for officials.
As the scale of the project continues to expand, the organization will inevitably become more bloated and administrative efficiency will also decrease.
This can be regarded as a common problem of state-owned enterprises. Once profits and losses have nothing to do with participants, stability becomes everything.
It has the advantages of not paying attention to returns and being determined by the will of the upper class. It can quickly meet demands in the early stages and can also be used to overcome those strategic projects with great risks in the later stages, but it does not mean that it can do everything.
This is also one of the reasons why Roland is working hard to develop heavy industry and agriculture in Wudongcheng, but light industry rarely takes into account the light industry. In addition to the limited labor population, the Executive Office can no longer provide so many officials to deal with the expansion of industrial types.
After all, issuing an order is simple and it is just a matter of one sentence. But if you really need to implement it, even if you build an additional steam engine assembly factory, you will need a complete set of manpower to support it.
And now, he has a new choice.
Before the means of attracting investment were used, someone took the initiative to send it to him, so Roland naturally had no reason to refuse easily.
Although this company has the background of overseas families and will inevitably cause a certain outflow of golden dragons after making a profit, as long as its production department is in Grayburg, this shortcoming is nothing.
After reaching the initial intention, Roland personally sent Victor to the entrance of the castle. After you are ready, I think new cotton seeds should be able to be cultivated.But I have to explain one thing in advance. If other merchants plan to follow you in the future, the executive office will sell seeds to them at the same price, the more abundant the goods on the market, the more affordable the price will be. You should know this principle better than me.
Of course, Your Majesty, Victor's eyes showed a confident look, and the Dawn merchants were never afraid of competition.My father always said that the competition has begun from the moment we were born.
When he was about to take a leave, Roland suddenly stopped him again. By the way, I want to ask you another question.My minister found out that you had a record of paying taxes to Changge Fortress six years ago. Why?If you want to save this amount at that time, it should be a breeze for you, right?
Victor nodded, but the lord at that time promised that as long as he paid taxes according to quantity, he would provide some convenience and protection for the caravans traveling between the border and the Changge.He did do that at that time, the expense could at least be spared from the threat of wild beasts and the trouble of his peers' attacks.I always feel that paying a little price to obtain a stable and orderly rule is actually a good thing for businessmen.Unfortunately, there are many people who would rather invest a large sum of money on unworthy goods than treat rules as one of the costs.
It was indeed an interesting person. Looking at the businessman's departure, Roland couldn't help but think in his heart.
If such people are used as examples, private enterprises in Grayburg should also usher in a period of rapid and vibrant development.
Just as he was about to go back to the office, the nightingale's anxious voice suddenly rang in his ears. His Majesty, lightning is back, she seems to be in trouble
What's going on?Roland asked hurriedly.
It’s not clear yet... I just received a slogan from Sylvie. After she was brought back by Maisie, she was sent directly to the medical hospital!
His heart suddenly sank. Was she hurt?Take me over and have a look now!
Yes, Nightingale reached out to grab him, and then the two of them escaped into the fog together.
……
After rushing to the medical hospital west of the city, Roland met the little girl lying on the hospital bed.
The moment he pushed open the door, the worry in his heart was dispelled. A lot of lightning looked intact, there were no obvious scars or blood on his face, and his chest was still undulating, which meant that she would not be in any serious trouble.
Even if this investigation really encountered danger, it is now safe.
But he soon discovered something was wrong.
Nanava did not feel relaxed after completing the treatment, but frowned and looked down at her hands, looking confused.
Maisie lay nervously on the head of the bed, wiping Lightning's forehead with her hands. When she saw Roland, she shrank her neck into her clothes, as if she had done something wrong, then he noticed that there was constant sweat coming out of the other person's face, and a slight moan was making between his slightly open lips and teeth, as if he was immersed in a nightmare.
What's going on?Roland looked at Nanava, where was the lightning injured?
The latter raised his head and slowly pointed to his chest.
nightingale.
yes.Nightingale walked forward, carefully picked up the lightning, helped her take off the special windproof jacket, and then untied the lining bit by bit.
Just as she was about to fade to her collarbone, she couldn't help but stop. Your Majesty, this is
Roland approached the bedside and found a wound the size of a thumb at the two fingers below the lightning neck.
Compared with the snow-white skin around it, this scar looks particularly eye-catching. However, if you look closely, it does not even hurt the muscle layer, but just breaks the epidermis, which is a minor injury that will heal itself regardless of it.
Logically speaking, healing such wounds is just a small thing for Nanava to accomplish in the blink of an eye.
But her next sentence made Roland stunned.
I can't cure her... Nanava murmured, no matter how you drive the magic, it can't make the wound disappear, just as if my ability has failed.
What?Victor was slightly stunned. If you have any doubts about where you are, I can explain it again
No, he waved his hand. It was indeed an interesting plan, at least it seemed nothing wrong.If it is to be implemented, how long will it take for you to prepare funds?
