Talent Recall

Germany, Berlin.

Grelling Textile Factory.

Grelling Textile Factory was a small-to-medium private textile enterprise in Germany. During the economic crisis of 1875, it had nearly gone bankrupt.

It was subsequently assessed as a quality enterprise during an inspection by Hechingen Bank, received an infusion of capital, and was thus able to continue operating.

In the 1880s, it developed by leaps and bounds, becoming one of Berlin's premier textile enterprises. It was also an important practical training base for talent under the Hohenzollern Conglomerate.

A key reason Grelling Textile Factory had won the favor of the Hohenzollern Conglomerate was the Grelling family's emphasis on technology, as well as its strict corporate management model.

The Grelling family itself had transformed from Junker landed aristocrats into bourgeois aristocrats, so the factory had also implemented comprehensive militarized management.

Thanks to that militarized management, every production procedure within the workshops was in perfect order, with each worker performing their own duties.

Will, a technical maintenance worker in the third workshop, was handling documents in his office, most of them mechanical blueprints.

Knock, knock, knock...

A knock sounded at the door. Will continued working over his documents without looking closely at the visitor, instinctively assuming that another machine had malfunctioned.

"Mr. Will, Mr. Grelling wants you to come to his office. It seems some important person is looking for you."

Will set down his pen and asked, "Looking for me? Not the factory director?"

"He looks like a stranger, but he should be an important figure. Director Grelling has been quite respectful toward him."

Hearing this, Will had a clear idea. This so-called important figure was most likely an official from East Africa.

Will put away everything on his desk, took a bookmark and clipped it into the unfinished draft paper, then stored his fountain pen
