American Peanuts

Chapter 148 Factory
Eight miles east of downtown Nashville is the Nashville Industrial Park, which is the industrial heart of Nashville and the entire state of Tennessee. There are about [-] companies from all over the world gathered here.

When Charlie got off the car, he saw the continuous factory buildings, where the derivative products of PB Company are now manufactured.Compared with the huge factories of Honeywell and Safran next to it, this factory owned by PB Company seems a bit small.But for the entire pb company, this is an out-and-out cash cow.

Chrissy and Ivany had already received the news and were waiting here. When they saw Charlie getting out of the car, they greeted him warmly.

Chrissy entered the company at the same time as Stephanie, but they took completely different paths. Charlie had not seen Chrissy for several months.

"You look more capable." Charlie looked at her and said with a smile.

She smiled implicitly: "I never thought I would join PB Company in this way."

Her dressing style now seems to be more business-oriented, and she is now mainly responsible for the production of derivative products, somewhat like a "factory director".

Looking back on her experiences over the past few months, if anyone had told Kris that she would rely on her past experience in clothing manufacturing to become a factory manager, Kris would have thought that person was crazy.

And this crazy result has now become a reality, all thanks to the young people in front of me.

"Why are you here?" Charlie turned to Ivanie next to him.

"The design department has developed a series of brand-new styles. I came here to discuss some production details with Chris." Evanni explained, she was still so radiant, and Charlie and she hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Then let's go and visit this place with me." Charlie said to her.

Trucks come in and out of the park, transporting nylon raw materials and final products.

Entering the factory, you can hear a huge roar. Most of the entire factory is completed by various semi-automatic industrial manufacturing machines.

The spindle machine heats the nylon raw material to the melting temperature, then squeezes the liquid material out through the pores and stretches it into filaments. The filaments then enter the drawing machine and are processed into thinner silk threads for use in making stockings. .

Rotary and knitting machines are used to spin filaments into threads that are knitted into socks.Dyeing and shaping machines are used to dye socks and trim socks to the desired length and shape.Finally, there is packaging, which is a complete set of production processes.

The machines work around the clock in three shifts, and the workers in the factory are all Aboriginal people brought by Charlie from the reservations. In several nearby reservations, almost half of the labor force works in the factory, and the original chief has also become The human resources director of the factory.

As for the basking shark, he is the head of the "security team". Of course, this security team may not be an ordinary security team...

In the office, when the original chief saw that the person who came was actually Charlie, he immediately stood up, held Charlie's hand tightly with both hands, and was reluctant to let go, which was quite enthusiastic.Compared with the old clothes before, he also changed into a suit and leather shoes, showing a business style.

"The current production situation is quite smooth..." He enthusiastically introduced the current situation in the factory.

"Where does everyone live now?" Charlie asked.

"They still live in the reservation, and there are regular buses every time they get off work. In addition, many people have bought private cars," the chief said.

Charlie looked at Chris and Ivanie beside him, and the two chose to leave with a clear look.

After the two left, Charlie asked the chief to sit down and then explained his purpose.

"I have a plan here. I wonder if you are interested. I have been to your place along the way. The transportation is very underdeveloped and there are forest resources all around. This can be fully utilized. There is a commercial real estate company that is interested in you. For development there, the other party is willing to transfer most of the interests and let the tribe have control of the new company. This will benefit everyone in your small Cherokee tribe. In the future, you will no longer have to rely on fishing and hunting as before. To make a living." Charlie told the other party.

"You're talking about...Meili Resort Village Group, right?" the chief said immediately.

Charlie was stunned: "Have you been in contact with each other before?"

"It's not just that we have been in contact with each other. The other party simply regards us as a thorn in the side. There was a sawmill who wanted to cooperate with us before, but it was messed up by this company. We were able to get to the previous point because of this company. .” The chief is still a little brooding until now.

"We can't unite with the enemy, let alone let them plunder our home, let alone move from here. I know that you are different from the other party, so don't talk about it anymore, otherwise it will be harmful to you. Not good." He continued.

Charlie vaguely recalled that when the chief introduced the tribe, he mentioned a developer. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Meili Resort Group.

"Does what I do still make you worried?" Charlie asked.

The chief shook his head quickly: "Of course not. You have helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, many of us wouldn't have enough to eat."

"I will also participate in the new company that will be established in the future. As for your concerns, I also mentioned them to the other party in advance. The other party promised that your residence will be retained and your people will be hired first."

"You don't know anything about those companies with sinister intentions. They just use sweet words to ask us to move away. It won't be us who have the final say then. As for the blueprint you drew, I don't think it will happen unless it is under your leadership." It can happen, otherwise it will just be empty talk." The chief conceded.

Charlie Rossi single-handedly saved several nearby tribes. In addition to being grateful to him, the chief also maintained extraordinary trust in him.

"You mean that you are willing to negotiate further only if you let me take the lead?"

"That's exactly what I mean."

"This is not easy to handle..." Charlie laughed.

From another perspective, if you were Old Maple, and the person you called to match him suddenly became the protagonist, it would be hard not to believe that the other party was collaborating with the aboriginal people inside and outside, and they were working together to threaten you.

Of course it makes sense logically, but he may not believe it. In the final analysis, it is a question of trust.

"In that case, we can only find one more person." Charlie reluctantly took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number.

"Why don't you come in here? There's something related to your father."

Charlie hung up the phone, and Ivanie walked into the office after a while.

"It's related to my father? What are you discussing?" Ivani looked puzzled, but looking at the tribes present and combining her previous working experience in the group, she seemed to think of something...
