I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 308 Our Fog City Cousin

The Eternal's departure was silent.

But the change has confused sensitive people.

That night, Luden found Albert and had a brief conversation with him,

"They are going to leave. This is all planned. You should also be mentally prepared."

Loudon said frankly,
"The world has changed, so will the company. The Strange Bird Bookstore and the Inquisition will leave the company. Some of them will stay on this planet and continue their mission. The other part will follow in the footsteps of the immortals to witness A wider world.

Without them, you have to be mentally prepared. In the face of full market competition, the company's biggest advantage is gone.

How should I put it, it's like you were opening and hacking the game, and suddenly your account was blocked, and the hang was gone, and everything started from scratch. "

If it was just the departure of the Strange Bird Bookstore and the Inquisition, it would be fine and acceptable.

What is really tricky is the change in the external environment.

The previous company, under the blessing of the immortals, was considered invincible. No one dared to attack the company. In any field, the company was invincible.

Today, the world has changed, and any small rich man dares to challenge the company.

Not to mention, before that, the aftermath of the storm against Luden still caused the company to be hit hard and has yet to recover.

Albert nodded, indicating that he understood.

He is ready to accept the change of the world.

The only constant is that there are new headlines on the newsstands every day:

"Express! Express! The House of Lords passed the gun control agreement, and civilians can legally own guns."

"The chemist Wright insists that his products should be used for treatment, especially for the removal of drug dependence!"

"News today! Umbrella's latest product, let you say goodbye to cough syrup with zero side effects!"

"It's hard to find a bed in St. Peter's Nursing Home. Is the lung disease related to the smog?"

"Violent conflicts continue to increase, and the new chief inspector has been dismissed. Can Chief Inspector Field return to his throne?"

"."

The news in the newspaper is full of people's eyeballs, filling any time that can be filled, and seems to want to take away all the attention.

It is difficult for people to get really useful news from the complicated news.

Time will check everything.

Only news that can be remembered by future generations has enough gold content.

However, none of this affected Luden's life.

The godfather of the Santa Fe neighborhood disappeared. Some said he died, some said he fled, and some even said there was never a godfather.

He is still the head of the orphanage, and there is only one child left in the orphanage, and he will be able to complete the coming-of-age ceremony in two years.

In the company, Lu Deng still has enough right to speak.

Everyone knows that choosing Mr. Luden as the leader can never be wrong.

At least not wrong now.

However, Albert's life did change.

The prophecies that Luden and he said have more or less come true.

He found that his control over the company had declined significantly, the workers in the mine got less money, and the production efficiency was slowly declining. If more money was given to the workers, it would be difficult for Albert to guarantee into the pockets of workers.

The end result may be that he spent more money in exchange for less output.

Albert was approached by a guy named Taylor.

He used to be one of the economists funded by the company. During the last Great Depression, Albert stopped Taylor's subsidy, which made Taylor feel a wave of human reality.

Fortunately, Taylor survived, although not respectably.

Due to the oppression in life, Taylor was unable to study economics calmly, and his research progress was delayed for a long time because of this.

In short, Taylor placed a report in front of Albert.

"Piece wage?"

Albert remembered that Taylor had been working on the matter.

Albert didn't like Taylor's research level. Taylor's estimate of steel production was completely wrong. He didn't see any clues to the imminent economic crisis.

However, Albert has no prejudice against people.

He read Taylor's article carefully and thought there might be some truth in it.

The next day, a mine changed to a piecework wage system.

Albert found that the output of the day more than doubled!
A week later, most of the manual work in the company was changed to a piecework wage system.

A month later, the market is full of piecework wages.

Just a mine is enough to give Albert a headache.

The original cash cow has changed suddenly, and it is difficult to maintain a balance of payments. This is the feedback on the book!
If you really go to the accounts, you may find that there will be a lot of inexplicable losses in the mine!
The more troublesome thing is technically!
The company has been adhering to the strategy of high R&D investment, and it has always been successful.

The markets opened up by many new products have allowed the company to obtain sufficient profits.

However, Albert encountered a new problem.

Some directors on the board of directors requested a professional accounting team to calculate whether the company's research and development costs were too high.

This motion did not actually appear on the board of directors.

However, the emergence of this bill alone has explained many problems.

It's different from before.

Albert could clearly feel that the company was like a monster. Although the monster was under his control, the monster gradually gained its own consciousness and carried everyone forward.

Including Albert.

This monster seems to corrupt people's souls, change people's minds, and turn best friends against each other.

Albert must make the company profitable enough.

Otherwise, the board of directors will have to replace him as CEO sooner or later.

In addition to the internal affairs of the company, Albert also encountered trouble outside the company.

He needs to socialize more, deal with people he is not familiar with, or even some annoying people, and do some time-wasting things.

Moreover, Albert asked for something from others, and the other party naturally had various conditions.

For example, this time, Albert wanted to ask a promising quartermaster to give him some care in the order of arms.

The other party's young wife made a ridiculous request, wanting to meet the legendary Mr. Luden.

This order is very important to the company, and it is related to several production lines and profits in the next five years.

Albert would have a hard time if the order was passed on to a competitor of the company.

In desperation, he visited and informed Mr. Luden of the situation.

Luden agreed.

Isn't it just watching a play together?

What's the big deal?
On this day, at the invitation of Albert, Lu Deng was going to get in the carriage and go to the theater.

"What play are you playing tonight?"

Since Sir Alex started to study mathematics, Luden didn't come to the theater very often, and he didn't know what popular plays there were in recent years.

"I hear it's a comedy, Mr. Loudon."

Todd took out the ticket stub, read the name on it,

""Our Cousin in the Fog"."
