Chapter 389 LandLines

Tim looked through the notes and continued to read through them in amazement.

This.... this would for sure improve communication and information intelligence in Baymard.

Just thinking about it made him smile stupidly.

And when he thought about how sometimes..... he would run from one corner to the other, or send people to someone else’s office just to inquire about something.

This alone sometimes delayed his schedule, as at times, the reply could come back within an hour or even more.

Not to talk of the fact that if the person wasn’t where he had thought that they would be in, then wouldn’t he have to start searching for them all over the place again?

But now.... he didn’t have to worry too much about this anymore.

With this Landline technology... in a matter of seconds or minutes, he might even be talking to someone in a different industry from himself..... and it also extended to the hospitals, schools and every other place in Baymard.

How marvellous!!

.

Landon smiled broadly, while looking at Tim’s animated face amusingly.

Walkie Talkies, police radio communicators and so on.... were all good and necessary for Baymard’s main security forces.

But what about the people?

A lot of issues would’ve been better solved if they had just gotten a better means to pass along information.

Holding the book tightly, Tim’s hands trembled slightly, and his mouth also quivered from excitement.

"Your majesty..... this is groundbreaking!

Even though it is somewhat similar to the walkie talkies..... it has its own differences to that one as well.

And this phone number thing, is it like each landline’s personal identity?.... erm, like the personal identity numbers found on each identity card?

No!.... no!... no!....

More importantly your majesty, when do we start?!!" Tim asked while literally holding Landon’s clothes tightly, just like a little kid who had just gotten his Christmas gift for the first time.

His ageing eyes were immediately opened widely, and seemed to glisten and shine like that of the moon on a starry night.

It was vibrant, youthful and full of life!

The current Tim had already forgotten that Landon was the king, as he subconsciously held onto him as if Landon some sort of peerless treasure that he didn’t dare to let go of.

.

Landon looked wryly at his overexcited Overseer, who seemed to be hell-bent on almost ripping his shirt to shreds.

Thinking of all the overseers from every industry within Baymard, Landon couldn’t help but question why they were all so similar to each other.

Or was it just a strange coincidence?

’Mwuack! Mwuack! Mwuack!’

As Tim spoke about everything that interested him with this new project, he would unconsciously lean forward and kiss Landon on the cheek happily from over excitement.

"Your majesty... have I ever told you that I love you?"

"_"

[Landon: ’Overseer Tim... I’m straight alright?’]

.

A few minutes later, after Landon had successfully calmed Tim down to an extent..... they swiftly began their road of manufacturing Landlines.

"Your majesty.... how many people do you need to construct the industry site for this project?"

Of course, the contract had come with what their employer thought was a reasonable payout.

But only they themselves could verify if they needed more money for more materials or not.

So if that was the case, then they would have to charge more than what was offered to them instead.

.

With everyone present, they began to read the agreement carefully.

Salaries.... yes..... contract completion date..... yes..... work conditions..... yes... benefits before and after contract.... Yesss... hmmm.

As they worked, they would subconsciously raise their voices, so as to get a reaction from Landon.

They wanted to see if they were right or wrong.

But who would’ve known that after all their antics, sighing and pitiful expressions that they had thrown on him... his majesty only smiled at them mysteriously, while silently waiting for them to finish.

’Dammit, your majesty!

Can’t you at least help your brothers out a bit?’

’_’

.

3 hours had gone by just like that, with everyone sweating buckets...and now, they had finally come up with what they believed to be an alright budget.

And seeing that Landon wasn’t going to give his two cents on the matter, they all sighed helplessly.... and immediately sent for their budget, alongside the contract and a letter, to be delivered to the Ministry of Communications A.S.A.P.

Hopefully, they had made the right estimations.

And once the other 2 left the room, Tim and Landon immediately began to focus on training these engineers that they were about to recruit.

.

While waiting for the new production site to be constructed, it was best for these men to know the basics of it all.

And since they were also planning to hire new graduates as well..... then they definitely needed to organize more training classes as well.

Of course with Landon’s missions, he had only planned to teach for just one week.... and after that, Tim and several others would take over from where he stopped.

But no matter what, Project Landline had to commence as soon as possible.

.

And so the next day, the radio stations were talking about Baymard’s new project... and the newspapers also highlighted the need for 100 new graduates and Baymardians for a new job opportunity.

With the need to begin lessons fast... of course, Landon and Tim had paid the radio stations, as well as the newspapers for advertisement.

And their plan had worked extremely well..... because now, they had 200 people rushing towards their interview rooms like crazy.

Some had just finished schooling, while others had been in the hospital for whatever reasons.

And there were also others who had previously wanted to be an engineer.... but because they hadn’t made it through other job interviews, they had settled for their current jobs.

And now with this engineering opportunity before them... how could they dare to miss it?

It was like a jungle outside the interview room during the next few days... and soon, those chosen were immediately sent letters and told when to report to work.

.

In a massive auditorium, everyone was attentively looking at the 4 men before them.

Finally, they were now engineers-in-training.

Landon looked at the new team before him and smiled.

"Let’s start from the basics shall we?"
