Act Twenty-Seven: Achievable Technology

The scene is harmonious.

Although the young people who came here supported Doug, they did not think that this "Monopoly" could be sold much.

A wooden house model takes up at most a worker's workload.

Even if it is just ten thousand copies of "Monopoly" occupy how much space the freighter can be?

The same is true for dyes, just a few barrels of dyes.

If Doug didn't know that the authentic sales of the game "Monopoly" had exceeded 200 million in the world and countless pirated versions, he wouldn't believe that such a small board game could have such great magic.

Although this game has a spiritual core that claims to be critical of capitalism, what attracts ordinary players more is his easy-to-get-playing gameplay, its (harmonious) addiction content and family-friendly attributes.

Judging from the current test results, "Monopoly" is indeed very interesting, and the same is true for these "informed" Yale students, let alone those poor people who lack entertainment?

Don’t use the entertainment level of ordinary people in the 21st century to measure the entertainment of ordinary people in the late 1950s.

Why did the Protestants, Anklu Saxon, come to the land of North America, have a large group of children? One is because the land is rich, and the other is because they have no other entertainment activities.

What else can you do in your leisure time entertainment activities besides making babies?

Due to the limitations of printing technology and cultural level, it is difficult for ordinary people to read a lot of text and have fun. The phonograph has not appeared yet, and the movie is even more unknown.

Concerts and drama performances are places where wealthy people can go every day. For the citizens who are separated from the poor level, it only takes a few months to go to the last time.

Even the singers who sing in the tavern can not hear it.

In such an era of barren entertainment, there is a board game like "Monopoly" with simple and contagious gameplay. Isn't there a huge market with broad prospects?

Of course there is!

Afternoon tea time.

Doug had already prepared some pastries, but unfortunately, these young men looked down on the "common food" he prepared, and they all rode on carriages with their own logos to the best teahouse in New Haven.

They want to have a leisurely afternoon tea there, and at the same time they will have another plate of "Monopoly".

Doug watched them leave without going with them.

His purpose in contacting them was to ask them to help promote Monopoly, and now his goal has been achieved.

You see, aren’t they just voluntarily going to help Doug promote the game now?

When the female workers found that the young men had left, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Doug did not feel that those people had any aura, they would be very calm when they got along with them.

That's not the case for these female workers.

The tone of grasping global trade at any time makes them feel powerful and unimaginable.

Doug returned to the workshop and encouraged the female workers to work hard.

When he saw his own carriage, he would go wherever he wanted. He hoped that these female workers would work hard like hard bees, so that they could buy a carriage with their hard work in the shortest time.

In another larger workshop, a "ding-ding" sound came from the sound. Doug stood at the door and confirmed that there was no sound of a machine like a steam engine running. Then he walked in and saw how Freeman was doing.

The workshop is not very hot, but it is a bit boring.

Doug walked in and followed the sound, and found that there was not only a blushing Freeman, a red neck, and two gentle apprentices in the grade.

"Who are they?" Doug asked.

"You! You are here! The two of them are my apprentices." Freeman said with a smile with a bow.

Doug frowned slightly. He didn't like this unexpected situation beyond his control. However, if you think about it a little with your toes, you will know that his previous intention of completing the entire project alone was really hard to do.

"Let them come to the factory to work, too." Doug said.

"Yes! Yes! You two are here, this is our boss, say hello to the boss!" Freeman heard that his two apprentices were hired and his mouth was almost on the temple.

The labourer who had been trained by Freeman, who was like two meat (harmonious) toilets, walked up to Doug and bowed properly.

Doug waited for them to stand up again and asked, "How is the production line changing?"

Freeman rubbed his greasy, grey hands on the canvas overalls, walked to Doug and said, "Come with me."

He led Doug to a table and said to the thing on the table, "I have verified the conveyor belt structure you mentioned here. Do you think that's the case?"

He turned the miniature conveyor belt on the table instead of the steam engine power handle, and drove it with human power. The entire circular conveyor belt turned in an orderly manner.

"That's right, that's it." Doug nodded.

"Come here with me again." Freeman took Doug back to the place where he knocked on something.

"We are bringing back steel sheets together one by one, and the structure is similar to a chain. As long as we assemble this conveyor belt and then link it to the steam engine. This large conveyor belt will move like the model just now.

Don't worry! We ordered steel sheets of steel mills, and we don't know what we want to do if we order these steel sheets."

Freeman promised after explaining.

He had never seen such a device before. However, its function was easy to imagine.

In traditional handicraft workshops and industrial production, a worker is involved in almost the entire process of a product from raw materials to finished products.

This kind of conveyor belt can completely break down the work that originally required one person to run around.

Everyone stands there and does not move, only responsible for one link, saving time running to produce more products.

Every worker is also more dedicated, greatly reducing the difficulty of training and work. Even a clever monkey can complete the corresponding work.

Freeman admired the more he thought about it, and he had more respect for his young boss.

But at the same time, he was a little scared.

Because he knows too much, if this production method is spread, it will greatly improve the production efficiency of other companies.

If you take this set of things out by yourself, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.

But...don't look at the little boss who looks so kind that he is not sure where he is before.

But Boss Smith died like that. Who knows what role the boss plays in it?

"Let them both live with you." Doug said, pointing to the two apprentices.

It is no secret that the assembly line is from Henry Ford's automobile production line or the British ceramic factory.
