Creating Something from Nothing

The method Lin Qi came up with for Neil could solve his confusion simply and effectively, and Neil also developed some curiosity.

"Let's put aside the problems and positions we are facing now and talk alone. How should Working Class solve this dilemma?"

This is no longer entirely a discussion between father and son on how to treat these workers, but more like a kind of divergent thinking and thinking.

Lin Qi gave an answer without hesitation - Labor Union.

In fact, over the years, Labor Union is not just an organization that unites workers. It is more like a referee that favors the workers' position, but can be bribed. Adding a weak third party to labor relations is an effective solution that is in line with the interests of all parties after the free development of labor relations.

Use a third party to balance the relationship between labor and capital. When the labor side is at a clear disadvantage, Labor Union will stand up for the workers.

When the capitalists are forced into a difficult situation by the workers, they will stand up and provide the capitalists with solutions to the problem.

But one thing that needs to be noted is that Labor Union has never admitted that it is a purely private non-profit organization. It also has a desire to make profits and has ways and means to make profits.

After chatting for a while, the conversation between the two gradually stopped. During the short time they sat and chatted, another layer of ash fell on the closed room. A layer of ash fell on the table, people's hair, and bodies.

Even though the doors and windows of the room have been closed and there is no direct contact with the outside world, the dust still keeps falling down.

Soon they started talking about the purpose of Lin Qi's visit this time, "How is the current production capacity and output?"

In fact, Federal already has mature asphalt technology. Many non-main roads in Federal are paved with asphalt. Asphalt roads have many conveniences, but they also have many inconveniences.

For example, water resistance and load-bearing capacity, these two are completely unsuitable for laying here. Nagaril is located in a tropical area and right on the seaside.

Inside are primitive jungles and grasslands, and outside are endless East Ocean. The dry season in the inland will not affect the seaside. Humidity and salty water vapor will become a nightmare for asphalt pavement. Coupled with the subsequent arrival of various heavy-duty engineering vehicles, the asphalt pavement will not last long and will have to be rebuilt.

Asphalt can be used on some side roads, but definitely not on main roads.

When it comes to production capacity and output, Neil lamented, "It's too slow. We use workers to preprocess the raw materials and manually crush them into suitable sizes before putting them into the feeder, but it's still too slow. Those machines are too old..."

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "The new machine is already being shipped and will be here soon, but the problem is how to get it back."

The various designs of the new machines are more advanced and reasonable, but there is also a problem, that is, they are larger in size and more inconvenient to transport.

This problem only exists in Nagaril, but actually does not exist in Federal. Federal has a complete transportation system. In the inland, the transition between engineering transport vehicles and trains can be completed through the crane rail at the freight station. There are also corresponding methods for loading and unloading at the port.

But there was nothing here, and just getting off the boat became a big hassle.

Fortunately, as more and more businessmen begin to set their sights on this new development area, crane rails are also being built at several important ports, so that the goods transported from Federal can be loaded and unloaded quickly.

But even after the things are unloaded, whether they can be transported has become a problem.

When it comes to this issue, Neil is obviously more professional. He first asked a tentative question, "Are these machines expensive?"

"Expensive?" Lin Qi was a little curious about Neil's focus. He shook his head, "It's not expensive. Do you have any ideas?"

Neil nodded, "We can use wood!"

He nodded as he spoke, as if confirming his idea, "Yes, Mu Mu, we used to do this all the time!"

He began to talk in detail about some methods of moving heavy objects. He seemed very excited. He suddenly realized that there was something Lin Qi didn't understand, and he was still asking for advice. This felt great.

Lin Qi didn't understand why Neil suddenly fell into an inexplicable excitement, but it didn't stop him from continuing to listen.

In fact, Neil's method is not special. In the past, in places where there were no heavy cranes, or where it was inconvenient for cranes to enter, they would use wood to arrange them together. The wood has good toughness and is easy to roll. People only need to take care that the wood on both sides does not spread out with the movement of the machine.

With little effort, people can make the machine move forward along this wooden conveyor belt with a structure similar to a conveyor belt.

The only disadvantage of this is that if the machine accidentally falls to the ground, it is basically not difficult to lift the machine up, and it is also very difficult when going uphill.

Compared with the consumption of time, this approach that may lose money but is more likely to save time is deeply valued by Lin Qi.

You can give it a try, was his evaluation of the idea proposed by Neil.

"You can allocate some people to prepare. The cargo ship will dock around the 10th."

"I originally wanted to stay a little longer, but it seems..." Lin Qi shook his head. He patted some dust on his trouser legs and stood up. "I'm going back first. If you have anything, please contact me anytime, and..."

He paused and said, "Don't underestimate this dust. It can affect people's health, especially their lungs."

"Try not to go outside. If you do, wear this thing. It looks stupid, but it can make your later years less difficult!"

Lin Qi said that he had already walked to the door. He put on the filter mask, waved his hand, turned and left.

This visit was quite fruitful. If the new machines can quickly replace those outdated small workshop-style machines, it will undoubtedly speed up his project.

All the problems that were restricted in Federal are not a problem here. He can hire tens of thousands of people to pave the road at the same time, but in Federal, this kind of thing is always imaginary.

When the car passed through a wealthy neighborhood, the commotion on the roadside slightly caught Lin Qi's attention, but he only looked at it for a few times before retracting his gaze.

After Rich District fell in the turmoil, some people pretended that they were related to the original owner of the house, or even pretended to be the owner himself and moved in. This has caused many problems.

For example, when the real homeowner or relatives with inheritance rights arrive, there will be problems between the impostors who occupy the magpie's nest.

Nagaril does not have a household registration, nor does it have a relatively complete personal social information file like Federal. It is also very difficult to prove the relationship between one person and another person. Most of the time, the testimony of a third-party witness is used as the basis for judgment.

In other words... if those other counterfeiters tell the police that the other group of counterfeiters are indeed their neighbors, then the police will accept the testimonies of these counterfeiters, because the "neighbors" are not a party at stake, and their testimonies are credible.

This also causes those who are identified as homeowners or heirs to become the real owners in the eyes of the police, and the next time they testify for others, the police will also adopt their version.

Unless there is other more authoritative evidence, such as a truly wealthy person or someone from the ruling class saying a few words to prove something for a certain person, the police will basically not take the initiative to investigate for anyone.

No matter how backward the police force is, it can't be wasted casually, right? There are so many things happening in the city every day, and so many nobles have to travel, who has time to investigate such trivial matters as who owns some houses.

Therefore, the living areas of several rich people in the city were very lively during this period. Lin Qi only glanced at them for a few times and then withdrew his gaze.

Not far away, in the courtyard of a building that Lin Qi had forgotten about, Gardon and his housekeeper were confronting the "aunt" and "brother" from abroad.

"This is what belongs to us, you despicable bastard, and now you want to take it for yourself!"

"This is your last chance. If you don't leave here immediately and return what belongs to us, we will initiate a lawsuit against the government of Nagaril, and we will also request international assistance from the embassy!"

Simon's son and Gardon's brother looked at Gardon across from him with arrogance and contempt. It was this thief who stole everything that should belong to him and his mother.

During this time, they used some small means to find out the inheritance of Simon, which would be around 800,000 fra, if all were disposed of according to the market price.

This is actually just an idealized value, but if you really want to dispose of it quickly, the lawyer believes that there is absolutely no problem in getting 700,000.

When he inquired about these matters, someone had already quoted him a price. If these properties were disposed of at a price of 700,000 fra, his legal fees would be as high as 280,000 fra.

Including other expenses, three hundred thousand fra is a very suitable number, so he works very hard.

Originally, everyone thought that this would be a relatively simple process, but in fact it was not simple. The boy named Gardon refused their request and sent people to drive them out.

Gardon doesn't act like a timid and fearful native, especially his eyes, which always make people feel a little creepy! Looking at the pretentious mother and son, Gardon didn't show much expression on his face. He glanced sideways at the puppy barking at him at his feet, raised his leg and kicked it.

The puppy, which was not much bigger than a slap, screamed and flew out. The mother and son who had been noisy also lost the ability to speak for an instant.

Until... the woman screamed and rushed towards the puppy, "Monsie!"
