Chapter 398 Establishing a Paper Mill

Felisa walked out of the door of Viscount Cliff's study and saw Thomas waiting for her at the door.

"Go back." Felisa said to him.

Thomas followed immediately, and asked eagerly, "Miss Felisa, what are your plans for us, Your Excellency the Viscount?"

"Your Excellency, the Viscount is still considering it." That's all Felisa could say, because Viscount Cliff just asked her what she thought, but did not make a decision.

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Thomas' face.

The salary Thomas is currently receiving is from the city lord's mansion where he left, which is a fixed dead salary. This salary is enough for the research lunatics on the manor. After all, they all live and eat in the manor. Enough for the rest they don't really care.

But not everyone studies lunatics. Most people still have requirements for quality of life, and Thomas is no exception.

Thomas originally thought that he would get some rewards for his research on the method of making paper, but in the end he got nothing?
It really hits people.

Felisa noticed Thomas' face, and she understood after thinking about it.

"Don't worry," Felisa comforted him, "Your Excellency the Viscount will not forget everything you have done."

Thomas let out a disinterested "oh".

Felisa realized that she was now very much like the boss in her previous life who offered promotions and salary increases to employees.

Without substantial benefits, how could the other party believe it.

So she coughed lightly: "Although Your Excellency the Viscount has not made a decision, she has asked for my opinion."

What Felisa means is that when Thomas and the other two researchers set up a paper-making workshop, they brought technology into the shares. Thomas took [-]% of the shares, the other two each took [-]%, and the rest were all owned by Cree. husband city.

The produced paper is purchased by Richard or other businessmen, and how much they can sell depends on their own ability, but the paper mill has schools and hospitals as two stable purchasers, although Felisa requires schools, hospitals It has to be cost price, but this is already a steady income.

The more Richard listened, the harder his breathing became.

Having shares means that even if he does nothing, he can make money lying at home, which is really exciting.

Felisa reminded: "But you have to resign from your job in the City Lord's Mansion."

Taking the salary of the city lord's mansion and the dividends of the paper mill, how can such a good thing, how could Viscount Cliff allow such a thing.

When Thomas heard this, his excitement cooled down a little.

Their family is all the retainers of Viscount Cliff, and they have been educated since childhood to serve Viscount Cliff, and it would be better to be the family of any Viscount. He never thought of resigning from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Does it have to be like this?" Thomas said in embarrassment, "Can't I be named in the city lord's mansion? Even if I don't get paid."

It is an honor to work in the City Lord's Mansion, and he does not want to lose it easily.

"Why bother?" Felisa sighed, "Are you so interesting, and giving up the position of the city lord's mansion does not mean that you are not working for His Excellency the Viscount. The income of the paper workshop is a public account."

Ordinary civilians don't know the meaning of this sentence, but people like Thomas who have worked for Viscount Cliff for generations can recognize it immediately.

In the eyes of many nobles, everything on the territory is his personal, and he can use it as he pleases. This is why he does not treat civilians as human beings, because in the eyes of those nobles, they are not human beings, but property at his disposal , or the cheapest kind.However, some nobles realized that they should separate the public account of the territory from their personal private accounts. Every year, a part of the income from the territory should be transferred to the lord's private account, and the rest of the public account would be used to build the territory.

Viscount Cliff is the lord who divides public and private accounts.

The proceeds go to the public account, which means that the profit of the paper workshop is excluded from the personal part of the Viscount, and the rest belongs to Cliff City.

Thomas is following Viscount Cliff. No matter what Viscount Cliff does to her heir, she must be an excellent lord. As an excellent lord, she must want to develop her own territory. Of course Thomas is She supported her, so when he heard that the paper workshop had taken public accounts, he immediately cheered up.

He said brightly: "You are right, even if I quit my job at the City Lord's Mansion, I am still serving His Excellency the Viscount."

Seeing how excited he was, Felisa couldn't help reminding him: "This is just my personal opinion, and I don't know how the viscount made his decision."

"I believe His Excellency the Viscount will definitely adopt your opinion," Thomas said without hesitation, "Because His Excellency the Viscount loves you the most."

When someone mentioned Viscount Cliff's love for her again, Felisa was able to face it calmly.

Viscount Cliff's love for her, although there is a reason that cannot be said, but it does exist, and she cannot deny it.

"Let's not talk about this for now," Felisa changed the subject, "Your Excellency the Viscount hasn't made a decision yet, so let's stop guessing. If my opinion is not adopted, you will be disappointed."

Although both she and Thomas believed that Viscount Cliff should adopt her opinion, they could not draw conclusions until the results came out.

Felisa ordered: "Although the paper has been manufactured, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Don't slack off, take the time to find ways to improve."

Thomas said solemnly, "Don't worry, I understand."

Of course he knows that the paper he is developing now is very different from the paper he usually uses, and the price of the same will be much different. Intuitively, he thinks that the raw materials of these papers should be similar to the raw materials of the paper they make, and the rest is the ratio and craftsmanship. He is confident that he will be able to research it.

Apart from other things, if one more type of paper is produced, he will get more money as a shareholder. This is about his direct interests, and he is of course willing to spend his time studying it.

He first told the news to the other two researchers. When they heard the news, the first reaction of the other two was the same as him, falling into ecstasy.

Money is the primary productive force, and all three of them felt that their day and night research was worth it.

However, Thomas still remembered Felisa's order, and repeatedly emphasized that this is a personal guess, and he should try to keep a normal mind.

Immediately, Thomas relayed what Felisa said, saying that there are still problems with the current paper, and that they must continue to maintain such research enthusiasm, overcome more research problems, and live up to the expectations of Viscount Cliff and Felisa. If you wait.

Hmm... The first half of the sentence was said by Felisa, and the second half was Thomas' self-expression. If Felisa were here, she would probably sigh that Thomas was born to be a good leader. Hearing how meaningful these words are Bureaucratic.
