In early spring, the weather is sunny.

As a traveler Thomas? In the last two years, Forrant has traveled from England to Egypt to India, to Southeast Asia and China, and then to North Korea, where he will reach Japan, then Vladivostok, and from there across Siberia and across Europe to end his Eurasian journey. Just over fifty years old, he has a slightly brown complexion, a burly body, and wears a khaki hunting suit, quite an explorer.

As a traveler, based on his knowledge of the Oriental countries, for Forrant, Korea was originally just an unmissable object among the three East Asian countries, but when he set foot on the port of Incheon and exchanged the local banknotes at the Bank of Korea currency exchange huàn next to the customs, he found himself stunned by the qiē in front of him, more precisely, the surprise brought to him by the Incheon Special Zone.

When he walked out of the port building along the passageway, there was a street nearly 100 feet wide directly opposite the building, which was different from ordinary streets, the street was divided into five roads by a side band surrounded by stone strips, the outermost two roads were paved with horse tooth stones, and the middle three were black roads.

"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ......"

Under the continuous telephone poles in the middle of the road, a blue horse-drawn ...... Where are the horses?

No horses!

In the moment of realizing that there was no horse, Furrant even blinked deliberately to make sure that he was not dazzled. Is it a steam engine? But where is the soot?

There are no horses. The blue carriages, which were also not drawn by steam engines, were heading towards the port building at an even speed. Looking at the approaching carriage in amazement, if it weren't for his deep belief in science, Forrant would even exclaim that this must be magic.

It's certainly not magic!

"Sir, if you want to go to the hotel, take the tram on the right side to the Holy Square, only five copper dollars,"

A customs officer at the port who is off duty. Perhaps he was surprised by Forrant, so he introduced to him in English that the train of Line 1 had only been in use for a few days, not to mention the foreigner who had just come to Incheon, and the "old Incheon" who had been stationed in Incheon for more than two years, was very interested in novelty.

"Tram?"

When an unfamiliar Chinese-style English came, Furant looked at the customs officer beside him in surprise.

"It's the tram, it was invented by our commander!"

The braided officer's tone was full of an inexplicable pride and pride flowing between his chest, and even the pride he had never had before, that made him puff up his chest and say to Furrant.

"Sir. I'm just going home, I'll take you on a tram! ”

Because the tram stop is not on the side of the road. So you have to go through the white-painted sidewalk to the station in the middle of the road, which is actually only a canopy less than two feet wide, and when you get to the platform, Furrant discovers the track between the paving stones, which is somewhat similar to the horse-drawn buses in London, which run on the tracks.

Only the "tram", which did not need to be pulled by a horse, was the most surprising, and with the sound of "clanging" that was getting closer and closer, the carriage, which was twice as long as the public carriage, stopped at the side of the platform, and the dozen or so passengers waiting on the platform got on the train directly.

"Bought a ticket, bought a ticket......

The conductor on the car walked around the carriage, which Furrant was no stranger to, when he was in England, he also took a public carriage, except that this car did not have a horse, it was no different from the British public carriage, and even the carriage was somewhat similar.

"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ......"

The tram started again, because of the slow speed, so that it only shook slightly, sitting in the carriage, looking at the spacious carriage, Forrant believed that at least sixty or seventy people could fit in this carriage, or even more, as the tram went to the "Most Holy Square", along the way, Forrant, who was sitting in the car, witnessed the difference in this special district.

With streets that are far wider than he imagined, trams that don't use horses, and of course construction sites on the side of the road, and European-style buildings, the city may not be prosperous, but for Forrante, he is stunned by the city in front of him, which to him looks like a city of the future, and the tram is the symbol of the city.

A tram towing a number of flat cars loaded with building materials drove through the middle of the road, and the opening of three tram lines accelerated the transportation of materials, as well as the construction of the Special Economic Zone.

“…… Just adding a table near your hand can make some actions such as bending down to pick up bricks and mortar become useless. In this way, the action that was necessary for building walls suddenly became useless and was eliminated. As a result, the number of actions required to build the wall has been reduced from 18 to 5, thus increasing the number of bricks per day from 960 to 2,800. The energy that was previously used to bend over and straighten up is undoubtedly a very laborious task, and now this excess energy is used entirely to increase the intensity and speed of the movement. ”

On the construction site of the East Asia Hotel, Frederick Brown, a consultant hired by the company from the United States and a professor of business at the East Asia College of Liberal Arts, was also a professor in the Department of Commerce. Winslow? Taylor explained to Mr. Tang why he had a simple table on hand for construction workers, an experiment that he had been promoting in the United States for many years.

Now, for Taylor, he realizes that for the D.C., this method of bricklaying can be more widely used – all construction workers belong to one company, and it is naturally easier to promote this technological way of working.

In a way, this is precisely the reason Taylor came to China across the oceans – a company that has given him a broader stage on which he can conduct more management experiments, which, once proven effective, can be implemented throughout the SAR.

Nearly three times more efficient!

Looking at the workers who adopted the new brick-cutting method, Tang Haoran could feel the gap between 18 and 5, which would make him glad that Taylor, the future "father of scientific management", had not yet become famous and was in the research stage. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, it was the process of transforming enterprise management from experience to science, and it was Taylor who promoted this change.

may not have studied economics, but it is precisely because he understands Taylor's transformative role in business management that Tang Haoran will not hesitate to invite him from the United States to Incheon, and this inconspicuous invention in front of him is worth almost no less than one million for the Special Economic Zone.

"Mr. Taylor, as I promised at the beginning, in the Special Zone, in all the factories in the Special Zone, I fully support you in any experiment to improve the management and productivity of the enterprise, but I have only one request......"

Staring at Taylor, Tang Haoran's tone became a little stern:

"That is to pass on what you know and the knowledge of business management to your students, believe me, in the future, these students will become the advocates of the scientific management you created, and in a few years, when they enter the enterprise, all the enterprises in the SAR will promote your management ideas."

Igniting passion, Tang Haoran, who worked as a youth league committee in college, has received propaganda training, he knows how to ignite people's excitement, and give them ideals for ideals, just like Taylor, from his invention of "Scientific Management" and "Taylor System" to its promotion in the United States It took dozens of time, and in these, Tang Haoran believes that it will only take a few years, and he will go all out to promote this qiē.

"Of course I believe you, Mr. Tongjian, to be honest, before I came to Incheon, I thought it was a wild place, and when I came here, the prosperity here is certainly attractive to people, but ......"

Taylor's words paused slightly, looked at Tang Haoran and said.

"The way you are promoting business management here is also extremely scientific, and I think if we have time, we should probably have some discussions on business management issues together!"

Although Tang Haoran did not learn business management, he had read so many books in later generations, especially the so-called "success science" books, which subtly taught him some business management knowledge, and was cited one by one in the formulation of enterprise articles of association, management system and wage system.

"Haha, I'm just a layman's idea, you're the real business manager......"

How could Tang Haoran, who had an axe in the class, let Taylor get his wish, but he covered up the topic with laughter, but his expectations for Taylor were not a trace of falsehood, after all, in China, where there is no mercantilist atmosphere, factories need more scientific management, because there is no experience to follow.

Dozens of minutes later, when Taylor was explaining the role of the "brick test" to the students, Tang Haoran, who left the construction site of the "East Asia Hotel", did not get into the carriage, but came to the tram station in the middle of the road...... Wouldn't that bring this place into the 20th century?

Of course, this idea is just a fleeting moment, there is no basis for developing a car now, and there are more urgent matters, thinking of more urgent things, Tang Haoran immediately thought of another person.

"That person should have left Hong Kong......" (To be continued......
