The interview process was very fast. Ashley had specially selected these people, and they were very suitable for McGonagall's requirements in all aspects, so McGonagall just asked a few questions, and then selected ten of them who were most suitable for his current requirements.
He also left their list of the remaining ten. If the seafood shop expands, they can come to work directly.
"Here's the address of the shop. You'll be here at about nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll give you pre opening training. It will start the day after tomorrow. It's just business." McGonagall gave the address written on the paper to his temporary foreman.
This fairy named Elia is a mature and gentle fairy with gentle smile and full affinity. She was once a maid manager with certain management ability, so MEG appointed her as the deputy manager of the seafood shop.
He will provide them with a base salary of 5000 copper dollars a month and a certain percentage of sales commission.
Every month has the end of the month assessment, sales ranking top three salesperson, can get promotion opportunities and rich bonus.
There are more capable people. This is the keynote set by MEG for seafood shops.
After the recruitment, McGonagall, accompanied by Ashley, learned about the current situation of the spinning factory.
As one of the actual controllers of the spinning mill, McGonagall accounts for half of the shares, undertakes the work of product sales, and has the same voice in the spinning mill as Elena.
At present, the mechanical spinning machine driven by steam engine has passed the exploratory period smoothly, with 12 production lines running efficiently and stable production capacity.
In the manual spinning workshop, tens of thousands of elves use McGonagall's improved manual spinning machine, and the daily spinning quantity is almost equal to the output of mechanical spinning machine.
"According to the current production capacity, this month's cotton yarn production should be able to break through 20000, if there is no increase in spinning workers, the capacity increase space is limited." Ashley gives MEG a report.
"It's far beyond my expectation that we can reach 20000 in the second month." McGonagall took the report, but did not look at it. Instead, he looked at the busy elves in the spinning workshop. Sometimes they could see the traces of magic. Although the work was complicated, their faces were filled with smiles and sometimes they laughed and made a few noises. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
"How to arrange the work and rest of the workers?" MEG asked, looking at Ashley.
"At present, it's nine to five, staggering the time, and the machine doesn't stop." Ashley replied.
"Has the restriction on you been lifted from the city Lord's mansion?"
Ashley was a little surprised by McGonagall's question, but she quickly replied: "it has not been completely lifted. Because of the large number of night elves, there is a daily factory number limit, but it has been increased from the initial 500 to 5000."
McGonagall nodded slightly, and the Lord's house accepted the night elves into the city, but there were also his difficulties. It was a good thing for each other to let the night elves slowly integrate into the city.
"I've received the first payment for 10000 pieces of cotton yarn. Today, I'll let the finance enter it into the account, and then I can give them the official salary for the first month. I can't avoid money for anything in a chaotic city." Meg said with a smile.
"All right." Ashley's eyes brightened. Although McGonagall had paid 1000 copper coins in advance for each elf, and the food and lodging in the factory were all inclusive, if she wanted to go out and buy something, she really had to be careful.
And to pay workers, but also let them feel the harvest of labor, which is completely different from being squeezed in the forest of wind.
"In addition, I plan to introduce 12 more mechanical production lines of cotton yarn to improve production efficiency, leaving some for finishing while not affecting the supply of cotton yarn."
"Are you going to weave?" Ashley was a little surprised.
"Yes, cotton yarn is the lowest end industry. Although we use mechanization to improve production efficiency, in order to open up the market and reduce the price, the profit margin is not high. And after finishing into high-quality cotton, the value will be greatly improved, and the profit promotion space is also very considerable. " McGonagall nodded and added: "of course, we only make the most high-end fine cotton fabrics, and the output will not be too high."
If Ashley hesitated for a moment, she was still puzzled and said, "since the profit of fine cotton is higher, why don't we vigorously develop and make fine cotton?"
"Goods are rare. If fine cotton cloth is popular in the market, its price will naturally fall." McGonagall shook his head with a smile. "Although monopoly can bring huge benefits, it will greatly harm the practitioners of this industry and may lay a curse for us.
Although the industry will eventually experience a mechanical shock and a reshuffle, it is a predictable slow process and should not be subverted overnight. Let's just take the richest money on the table. It's not moral to lift the table. "
Ashley suddenly looked at McGonagall with more admiration. Mr. McGonagall's pattern and vision are far beyond people's reach.
MEG walked around the factory. Before, Elena bought a lot of land from the Lord's mansion. At present, only half of the spinning workshop and the night elf's residential area are used. MEG made a rough plan and divided the new spinning workshop area and the weaving workshop area.
He had to go back and study the loom himself. However, like the spinning machine, it was not a high-precision machine. In his memory, he had ready-made medieval loom drawings, but the accuracy was too low to meet the requirements of high-quality cotton, which needed further improvement.
Steam spinning machine has been launched by him, and the textile industry is bound to usher in great changes in the near future. McGonagall will take off from the tuyere first. When steam spinning machine is popularized, he is already playing the next industry.
Leaving the spinning mill, MEG went to hill.
The emergence of the old dominators disrupted their original deployment of steam locomotives, but the trial operation has been successful. As long as the peace negotiations can continue, the steam locomotives will open a new century. Hill is full of confidence in this.
McGonagall knew that hill's judgment was correct. The steam engine was really about to start a new century, so he signed a preferential supply contract with hill.
"It's said that the textile mill that Mr. McGonagall cooperated with Princess Irina is on the right track. Is it ready to expand production so soon?" Hill signed the contract and said, looking at McGonagall with a smile.
"Yes, the efficiency improvement brought about by machinery is very obvious. It is an irreversible trend that many labor-intensive industries will be replaced by machinery, and the capitalists who master the mechanical technology first will get the maximum benefits." McGonagall nodded with a smile. "Making steam engines is naturally the best business."
