Texas in the winter has just begun to see the white belly in the east.
As the sun rises, the Smith Factory District across Texas welcomes a new group of factory owners.
The clothes of these factory owners were designed by Tom based on the military uniforms of later generations.
Stand-up collar, black clothing, ribbon, saber, boots and leather shoes...
Many ceremonial items that could only be used by senior officers in this era appeared on every factory owner.
Know the people, know these are the new factory owners in the Smith Factory District;
I didn't know the person, so I thought they were a group of senior military officers.
"From today on, each of you will be responsible for the production of a factory."
"As for what are the raw materials? What are the manufacturing processes? Where will the products be shipped?"
"It has nothing to do with you at all!"
"Understood?"
An officer whose dressing style was similar to that of most factory owners, but whose military rank was obviously several ranks higher, gave lectures to these new factory owners.
"ja. chef!" (German, leader)
"Go! For the glory of the Germans!"
"ja!"
The uniform answers from the factory owners made people suspicious.
Are these factory owners or soldiers?
All.
Every new factory owner is a veteran who has served in the German region.
These former veterans of Germany all have sharp-edged faces, cold yet full of seriousness.
The veterans entered one factory after another in the Smith factory area with military steps that the workers around them had never seen before, wearing long military boots.
Every country in the German region, especially the North German region, is surrounded by powerful neighbors and may fall into a melee at any time.
In order to alleviate the pressure of insufficient military strength caused by sparse population, the governments of these countries have implemented comprehensive compulsory education and universal conscription laws throughout the country.
Every adult male in Germany has received the most basic education and rigorous military training.
But can the economy of the German region really support so many soldiers serving for a long time?
Obviously it can't.
The states in the German region can only return these high-quality soldiers to society and recall them in time of war.
But in a European region with strict tax laws and serious stratification, can these high-quality soldiers be able to live comfortably in the country?
Tell Tom about Tom's fused memory of Frederick.
Even the most powerful state in North Germany, the Kingdom of Prussia, could not guarantee that every citizen would have enough to eat.
The German monarch was obviously unable to provide these outstanding educated people with adequate food and clothing.
But Tom can.
Relying on the convenience of blood and birth, Tom started looking for middle-aged German veterans with families since he moved into Texas.
Tom's "recruitment" criteria have three criteria:
1. You should be between thirty and forty years old, preferably have participated in the war, and it does not matter if you have a slight disability.
Second, there are several children aged 11, 12 or younger.
Third, there are parents in their fifties and sixties who need support.
The summary is that there are old people at the top and young people at the bottom.
To be honest, with such a simple request, Tom didn't find many people in the past few months.
There is no other reason. The average life expectancy in Germany at this time is only about thirty years old. It is really difficult to find middle-aged men with parents.
Forced into desperation, Tom could only relax the standards and list the third item as a bonus item instead of a required item.
Finally, Tom selected 10,000 veteran families from the German regional competition.
The total population is approximately 50,000.
The labor force of these people has been devastated by harsh tax laws and labor. If they are asked to engage in heavy manual labor, they will lose the same bonus points.
Died from overwork.
Tom didn't intend for them to do heavy manual labor either.
The veterans are responsible for taking over the responsibilities of the factory owners and maintaining the production links of the factory.
Tom learned from the separation of powers of the American federal government and divided the factory owner's powers into three.
Raw material warehouse management, production link management, and finished product warehouse management.
To be precise, it should be said that there are two factory manager positions and one production manager position, but Tom deliberately refers to them as factory managers, that is, factory owners.
Also called factory owner.
The factory owners in charge of the three aspects have no contact with each other, and transportation is handled by a local transportation team.
Intrastate transportation is not a hassle.
The export of finished products is the key to Smith Company's profitability.
The most lucrative link is that direct descendants of the Smith family control the entire process.
This system has many loopholes, but Tom firmly believes that it can continue to operate, and at least there will be no need to worry about it for decades.
First, Tom took advantage of human nature.
For a person with an annual income of one million, if Tom asks them to do a job with an annual income of one million, he will only take it for granted.
And for a person with an annual income of 10,000, Tom asked him to do a job that should have earned 1 million, but only gave him an annual salary of 15,000.
Suppose this person who previously earned 10,000 yuan a year does not know how much his work is worth, what will he do?
Kudos to Tom.
The veterans and their future. After these people retired, the new factory owners Tom arranged were all lower-class people who had never participated in the upper class society. They did not know how critical the position they sat in was.
The veterans only knew Tom as "fellow countryman".
Save the veterans from Germany, a place where wars are constant, income is unstable, and corvee and forced conscription may occur at any time.
Provide veterans with a living environment where they have no worries about food and clothing and where their children can receive an elite education.
Providing veterans with wages and stable and easy jobs that they could never have imagined before.
He also told the veterans that you no longer have to participate in wars.
Do you think these veterans who have narrowly escaped death should pay homage to Tom?
What if some veterans feel they deserve a higher salary? How should we deal with them?
That's the second thing - the alienation of the factory owner.
Tom can bully customers in the store and alienate three types of factory owners.
If we look at the work and labor of each factory owner individually, it will be difficult to realize the value of this labor without the subject of Smith Factory.
Because of the unique pseudo-modular production of Smith Factory, each factory does not know that it is in the big machine of Smith Factory Area.
How much is the factory/warehouse you manage worth?
How much is your work worth to this big machine?
That's right, Tom relied on his monopoly over the entire industry in Texas to create a strange phenomenon - turning factory executives into "employees" on the assembly line.
The executives of these factories are alienated from the fruits of labor brought by their management.
The factory owners in the Smith Factory District, owned by Tom's Smith Company, are no longer the decision-makers around the factory.
Rather, they are a group of implementers who follow the steps step by step and obey Tom's decisions unconditionally.
They are the "assembly line employees" who assemble Tom's orders.
I have only heard of capitalists who are not satisfied with their income every day, but rarely assembly line workers who are not satisfied with their income every day.
What's more, Tom forcibly calls these three types of people factory owners.
Let these three types of factory owners, even if they know how much profit outside factory owners have in the future, when the veterans know how much work outside factory owners need to do.
Veterans will think that they cannot do so much work, and that they are not worthy of their reputation as factory owners, so it is normal for them to receive low wages.
