Act Eighty-Nine: When Happiness Knocks at the Door
After the rest of the partners left, Thompson got up and said to Gilbert, "Bert, can I continue to defend like this, hoping that Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory will not survive and collapse by itself, we should take the initiative!"
"Attack?" asked Gilbert, "How? If money is bullets, we don't have bullets." Workers are paid every week, an hour late, and you can see that their faces are as ugly as trying to eat people.
Suppliers have also been dunning, we have negotiated a three-month account period with our ability, why give it in advance!
The most important thing is that our "Monopoly" is not selling very well, and now it can only cover the cost.
Are we going to be like that crazy little tramp and stuff bank bills into "Monopoly"?
Watch those untouchables get hundreds of dollars with their hands?"
Gilbert gasped a little after a series of questions.
He also made "Monopoly" to make money, not burn money.
is like Claydon who burns money like crazy, even if "Monopoly" can sell a lot, but what's the use of not making money?
Thompson looked at the frizzy Gilbert and sighed inwardly.
In fact...... The real heart of the Mitos Manufacturing Company is not Gilbert, who is bouncing around and having a good time, but he Thompson.
Even, Gilbert's simple walnut-like brain did not even think of opening a factory in the first place.
In the end, Gilbert finally did it, and it was also the result of his step-by-step guidance.
He wanted to make money, but he didn't want to grudge with Doug, the only student in Principal Woolsey's last ten years, so he chose to push Gilbert to the forefront.
Originally, I just wanted him to be a puppeteer with a slight effect.
However, now it seems that even being a puppeteer requires some brains.
Gilbert could only see the money that Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory was paying every day, and he could only see the losses they were looking at, but he did not have a holistic mind.
"Monopoly" is still in the promotion period, even if it really loses money?
New Haven is a port city, and once Monopoly fame spread along the coast throughout New England, across the United States, and across Europe, what was the investment now?
Gilbert, however, is only staring at the current profit and loss.
Even if you really can't pay back the payment, what if you are in arrears for a period of time?
As long as a security team is formed, will the debt collector dare to enforce the collection?
As long as a security team is formed, do workers dare to lick their faces and ask for wages?
No!
Can't!
But Gilbert couldn't solve such a simple matter.
Thompson's heart was very impatient, but he looked at the face of money, and still pretended to be very patient on the surface and said, "Bert, since Claydon's method is used again, why don't we use it?"
Moreover, I optimized his strategy.
He only put bank notes in his Monopoly, but we can put 'another pack'.
That's right!
It's 'one more pack'!
At the same time as there is 'one more pack', we also put in some bank notes. The denomination doesn't have to be as big as Claydon's, just a little bit.
However, compared to Claydon's Monopoly, our Monopoly has a 'One More Pack' guarantee, which is less risky for them.
And for us, what is the cost of making "Monopoly"?
What about an extra pack?
In this way, there will be people who want to open "Monopoly", but are afraid of losing all their money. Buy ours instead of Claydon's version of Monopoly.
As for the payment of the supplier and the wages of the workers. Bert, do you know what department our company is missing?"
"What department?"
"We also lack a security team, a department to maintain security and smooth production in the factory. If you think about it, now those stupid workers, who are paid an hour late, can be passive and slack off regardless of the interests of the company, but what if we have a security team?
A platoon of people with guns pointed at the workers, whoever dares to strike will shoot whoever dares to strike, and will anyone dare to strike?
As for the suppliers, can they still open their mouths in front of the guns to ask for accounts?
Remember, Bert, as long as the money is in our hands, as long as we have guns in our hands, no one else can do anything.
And......
Not only can the security team do this, aren't you still worried about that little tramp in Claydon setting fires?
We can arrange for the security team to patrol so that we don't have to be afraid?"
Gilbert only realized after listening to Thomson's tirade, but for a man of his character, it is never possible to admit that he is wrong.
He slapped his thigh exaggeratedly and said, "You are the same as I think! We are really best friends!"
"Well, Bert, come on, do it!" Thomson said Gilbert without losing any time.
Gilbert immediately went to form a security team with confidence.
As for whether the security team really killed people in the future, whether they will bear legal responsibility. Thompson can't manage it, from formation to management, it's all his Gilbert doing, what does it have to do with me Thompson?
What? You say I'm good friends with Gilbert?
Sorry, a good friend with a low IQ, isn't it just for consumption?
Early the next morning, most of the grocery stores in the New Haven area hung up posters that "Monopoly" had won the lottery.
In addition to the theme of the poster, "Win the lottery by opening the package", there is also "Another Pack"!
The Mitos version of "Monopoly", stuffed with bank notes and "one more pack" tickets, was injected into the market.
As Thompson expected, Mitos's version of "Monopoly" went from selling only about 100 copies a day to more than 300 copies at once.
According to the current flood of "Monopoly" in New Haven, the two sides have sold more than 3,000 copies of "Monopoly", and the sales are gradually declining, which is definitely a good thing for Mitos!
Gilbert has already finished the security team in a hurry, ten security team members, armed with guns to nominally protect the security of the factory, but once a worker "makes trouble", he will definitely wave the butt of the gun to level the worker as soon as possible.
The originally "arrogant" workers quickly became honest under the maintenance of the security team.
And the suppliers, even if they come to collect, are faced with the guns of the security team, and can only return empty-handed.
And finally!
The "murder case of the little shoe-shiner", which Gilbert "single-handedly promoted", will also go to trial tomorrow. Claydon's little tramp is not far from being ruined.
For Gilbert, this is simply a blessing.
Gilbert felt that in just a few days, it was as if happiness had come knocking on the door.
