"All right, Semyon Ivanovich, now we will go to the watchworks, and hope that Madame Lange will not mind my presumptuous visit to her precious daughter." Roland said with a smile.

Semyon Ivanovich is very ingenious about the layout of the factory, which is always located as close as possible to its upstream suppliers in the value chain, in short, to the suppliers of raw materials.

The products of the steel mill are undoubtedly the most important raw materials in the entire industrial zone, and the circle of factories around the steel plant are all used as raw materials for metal finishing, including the newly established "No. 1 State Watch Factory in the Far East".

Madame Lange did take her precious daughter very closely, and did not allow Isabel, who was not deeply involved in the world, to interact with those swinger brothers who played with flowers, but the mayor's wife would not follow her daughter to work in the factory, and she was still relatively comfortable with the environment of the factory, and the busy and noisy workshop was not a good place to talk about love, and it was unlikely that the sons of Colasburg would chase her here to pay homage to Isabel.

All in all, Roland met the factory manager smoothly and recognized her from the crowd at first sight.

Miss Isabelle Lange still dressed as she used to wear at the Matvey Technical School, with a short dark blue jacket with bib pants and a peaked cap – the classic mechanic's uniform. Despite the fact that the staff of the watch factory were all dressed in the same attire, Roland recognized the only woman present by her slender back and high-raised golden ponytail, and waved her name.

"Hi ~ Isabel, are you okay?"

"Yo! Your Royal Highness! The factory director looked back and waved her hand in surprise, "Which gust of wind blew you here?" ”

"Of course, it is the spring breeze of reform and opening up." Roland casually made a cold joke that no one could get, walked into the workshop and shook Isabel's hand, "It's been almost two months since you came to Krasbourg, how are you adapting to the new environment?" ”

"Luckily, I'm quick to embrace new things and enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle of the capital." Isabel replied with a smile, perhaps because she noticed that Roland's long walk made her forehead sweat, and she took off her cap as a fan to fan him, revealing her smooth and white forehead.

Roland smiled appreciatively at the gentleness of the factory director, but also noticed that she had combed her hair back and tied it into a neat braid, apparently to facilitate the operation of the precision instruments. The hair on the girl's forehead is very thick, clear and tight, and it exudes a kind of down-to-earth and generous self-confidence beauty, which makes Roland think of the female elite in high positions on the earth, this temperament is precious in the world of Vales, where the traditional atmosphere of male superiority and inferiority is common in all corners of society, let alone in the environment of "factory" that is permeated with male hormones.

"Isabel, I've heard that you've joined the 'Industrialists' Club' in Colasburg, and that playing cards at the same table with those arrogant old men isn't a pleasant experience for you?"

"Haha! Do you want to ask if they have embarrassed me by squeezing out me? Isabel shook her head and smiled, "Of course gentlemen don't be so rude, at least not in front of me, as for what they say behind their backs, I don't care, anyway, the 'Industrialists Club' has a place for me, am I a little unladylike like this?" ”

"What I appreciate most is your fearless mentality, if you are a shy and introverted girl, no matter how skilled you are, I can't ask you to be the director of the watch factory, at least not your mother." Roland replied with a smile.

"You've probably heard about my mother, right?" Isabel blinked knowingly, "Actually, my mother is not what others think, like a stubborn old nun, watching my every move all day long, in fact, she loves the social life of the capital more than me, and has made many celebrities and noblewomen, and it is too late to attend women's parties all day, so how much attention does she care about me." ”

"But I heard that those sons and brothers who pursued you were blocked by your mother......"

"Haha! You can't even see through such a simple trick, it's stupid! Isabel let out her signature hearty laugh again, revealing her snow-white teeth. A young girl grinning in public like this is really indecent in the eyes of Semyon Ivanovich, not to mention that this girl dares to speak disrespectfully to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is simply lawless!

Isabel ignored Tie Qing, the director of the management committee, and approached Roland's ear, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Actually, I hate those oily guys, but the business is not going around, and it is not a smart thing to offend the rich son, so I am inconvenient to say it clearly, so I asked my mother to come forward for me to return the kindness of the absolute party." ”

Roland smiled dumbly: "It turns out that it is not Madame Lange who controls you tightly, but acts as a shield for her precious daughter...... Isabel, you are so cunning. ”

The factory director smiled shyly, and her eyes were full of smug brilliance. Later, he solemnly told Roland: "Only you know about this matter, don't reveal it!" ”

Roland nodded, and said with relief: "I'm relieved to see that you are like a fish in water in Krasbourg, let's get back to the point, how is the production of clocks and watches?" ”

"It depends on what standard it is measured by." Isabel puts away her smile when she talks about her work, and her words are carefully considered, reflecting the rigorous style of a machine warlock.

"Measured by the standards of industrialization, of course." Roland doesn't go around in circles.

"I can't say these two sentences, you can talk to me about the product first."

Isabel led the way, and Roland followed her through the workshop, observing production on the way.

From his point of view, the assembly line of the watch factory is already in shape, and the standardized operation of the workers is also neat and pleasing to the eye. What impressed him even more was the production environment of the watch factory, which was neither as dry as the paper mill nor as noble and cold as the "magic guide factory", the spacious factory was clean and the lighting was good, and the steam machine tools inevitably made noise, but not as sharp and harsh as the chainsaws driven by water turbines in the sawmills.

If you had to choose one of the most representative benchmarks for the factories in the Karon Industrial Zone, which varies from low-end to high-end, Roland felt that the state-owned watch factory under Isabel was the best choice as a representative of the industrial civilization of the Far East.

"This is our factory's product showroom, please come in." Isabel opened a room next to her office. The room was small, but well-groomed, with a sofa and coffee table, and a long table against the wall, on which a ticking table clock and a glass dish covered with red velvet lining were displayed.
