From light industry to heavy industry, the cycle of returning funds to obtain profits is getting longer and longer.

Doug's Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory can only be regarded as a light industry, which is lighter than a garment factory.

But even so, Doug still thinks it's too slow to pay for itself.

It's been two weeks from acquisition to production, and it's still not profitable, so we can only cover the cost of labor and raw materials.

"Boss, a thousand sets of Monopoly are ready. ”

As soon as Doug returned to the office of the printing and dyeing factory, Rose came up and knocked on the door to report.

"Got it. Doug said, "Tell the security guard and tell him to inform Attorney Jimmy McGill and ask him to come to my office at the dyeing factory." ”

"Yes, boss. Ross said.

"Good job, Rose, I think you'll be able to get your prize money early. Doug played with the pen in his hand, a warm smile on his face, and said nice things.

"Thank you to the owner. Ross replied.

"Well, don't thank me, it's the result of your efforts. Other workers don't work as hard as you, and I can't pay bonuses even if I want to. Go to work. ”

"Yes, boss. ”

Rose gently closed the door to Doug's office.

The production of more than 100 female workers in the printing and dyeing factory has gradually entered the right track, and the daily output has soared to the level of 500 sets.

Such a production speed is not slow in the current situation of low mechanization.

However, the trade-off is that women work more than 16 hours a day on average and a lower yield rate.

After all, a flesh and blood machine like a human can get tired quickly, and even if a thing is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, thinking that the muscles have memorized it, it will still make mistakes.

Ross has just proposed that in order to improve the yield rate, it is recommended that female workers work 20 hours a day.

Doug was a little surprised at the time and asked, "Isn't it true that the longer you work, the lower the yield rate?"

Ross's answer was groundbreaking, "Fatigue makes women make mistakes, but if women are so tired that they forget to make mistakes, won't they not make mistakes?"

“……”

Doug, though he thinks Ross has a point, doesn't agree. Because he didn't want to see a large number of workers in his printing and dyeing factory die suddenly.

It's not that he feels sorry for the lives of the female workers, which are not worth much, but the new compensation for the sudden death of the female workers.

If a female worker dies, she will have to pay two or three dollars, and if she dies twenty or thirty, isn't it a hundred million if you round it off?

He was already planning to paint on the walls of the workshop, "Sixteen hours of healthy work." slogan.

Night fell again, and McGill appeared in front of Doug.

Hearing McGill knock on the door, Doug put down the pen in his hand, and when McGill came in, he picked up another pen and wrote on a new piece of paper with a pale yellow glow, "The little shoe-shiner's case can begin." ”

"Did it go exactly as planned?"

"Exactly, as planned. ”

"The office next door is sorted out, so for the time being, you can work in the office next door. I think there will be no shortage of patents we need to apply for in the near future. ”

"Honor your wishes. ”

Doug struck a match, and the temperature of the orange flame warmed his face on the brazier and McGill on the other side.

When the embers were all black and ash, Doug stood up and said to McGill, "Let's go and see your office." ”

McGill's office is next door, but it's a little smaller.

Still, McGill was happy.

Just a few days ago, he was just a loser.

From a loser with nothing, to now with a stable job and a spacious office, what is he not satisfied with?

Thanksgiving, his heart is full of gratitude.

"Thank you...... The boss ......" while expressing his gratitude, he also changed the address of Doug from "Excellency" to "boss", officially acknowledging his affiliation with Doug.

"McGill, you have to work hard. You don't have to look at the fact that now you only have such a small law firm, in the future you will own a law firm.

I believe that your law firm will become stronger and stronger, and I will be indispensable to you in the future. ”

"Yes! boss!"

"It's so late, McGill, are you having dinner? Would you like to go with me for something? ”

Just as the two of them were about to leave the printing and dyeing factory, a female voice that was not nice and timid shouted in a dark corner, "Old ...... Boss!"

"Who?" questioned Doug loudly, his left hand slightly raising his cane, ready to fire at any moment.

"I'm Ruth, and you're your employee. The female voice stepped out of the shadows and walked out into the range illuminated by the whale's oil lamp.

"Ruth?" Doug recalled, as if slightly impressed. He looked at the tired woman in the turban and asked, "What's wrong?

"The owner...... His name is Ruhr, he is 10 years old, he is very hardworking, he has a lot of strength, he can do things like moving goods!

I need more income in my family......

No, otherwise the other children won't be able to eat......"

"Ruth, don't be in a hurry just yet. Do you mean to let your son work in the factory, do you want me to use child labor?" said Doug, in a slightly stern tone.

He wasn't really against child labour.

Although child labor has less effort and less work, it is also less expensive to hire.

The use of child labor can effectively drive down the wages of adult workers, in addition to the low cost of child labor itself.

Since the vast majority of adults work with child labor, and at a lower cost, why not use child labor?

There was a slight stern suspicion on Doug's lips, but he was just anti-phishing.

The issue of child labour has been debated for a long time in the UK, and many people believe that child labour is inhumane and politically correct.

Recently, this trend has also spread to the United States.

Although Doug needed cheap labor, he didn't want to damage his reputation for this small profit.

He tilted his head and asked McGill, "Is it illegal to use child labor?"

"My boss doesn't break the law, but ......" McGill whispered a lot.

Ruth, the female worker, saw that the boss Doug was discussing with the others, and she did not dare to interject.

What they said, Ruth didn't understand.

It's just that I vaguely heard about breaking the law or something, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.

Isn't it true that not only can't my son come to work, but he also has to go to prison?

Thinking of this, she knelt down with a "bang", and said in a miserable voice, "You can do well, save our family." ”

"Good, good. Let him try it tomorrow. A soft-hearted Doug agreed.
