A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Around 30 of the parents belonging to the Elvis family and Steno Technologies, as well as the blacksmith union in the city where the Elvis mansion is located, met together in the conference room of the government building.

Takeo is reading the material as he listens to Bradley and the others explain.

"As a result, the people we are looking for in our workshop will be people who are clever enough to make pocket watches and fine parts.

I also hope that, in relation to making prototypes from the laboratory, those in the armoury-based workshop will be able to come up with the idea of making one item at a low cost.

Parents who heard Bradley was finishing the explanation shrugged.

"... could you give me a break?

The blacksmith union president asks the civil servant of the advancing economic bureau.

"Count, technologists, may I?

"Yes, we don't mind.

"Um, we don't mind either.

Do you often take breaks?

"Ha!

Then let's take a break.

Before we begin, we will ring the bell, so if you want to hear more (...), please assemble.

The Elvis family and Steno Technologies move into separate rooms, according to a civil servant at the economic bureau of the facilitator.

"Well. What did you guys think?

The union president stood before everyone and listened to his relatives.

------------------------

The Elvis family and Steno Technologies moved to a separate room for tea.

"What do you think, Takeo?

The bell sounds are heard by Takeo.

By the way, Ringtone was attending a briefing from Takeo's side.

"Especially... you also described the products you make properly, and you said what talent you wanted.

At the first point, he also said the pay side, so I don't think there's any shortage.

Takeo says as he leans his neck.

"All you have to do is pray that you have a workshop to come to.

The ringtone laughs bitterly.

"Master Takeo doesn't say anything about the adoption of Steno technology, does he?

Alice asks strangely.

"I'm not going to pinch my mouth on hiring people for Steno Technologies.

It's just better if Mr. Bradley and the others decide.

Regardless of the number of people hired and the quality of the craftsmen, the order volume from here is the same.

"Yes."

Bradley and the others nod at Takeo's words.

"Dear Takeo, how many people do you think will stay (...)?

Frederick asks.

This was communicated by the facilitator's clerk before the briefing began, but this briefing was "possible to leave the seat en route".

When I heard that, Grandpa Elvis also said, "Because I don't want to make integration impossible. If you don't think you can do it at all, you can leave," he said.

"There were about 30 people... 22 workshops, according to the dossier.

Well... will you stay about 20%?

Besides, I don't know if the number of people in the dossier is family or craftsman...

Mr. Bradley, how many people did you want to hire?

"As it stands, I'd be happy to hire eight people.

I think that later adoption will be while looking at pocket watch sales.

"Because there's a chance I can't teach you to hold a lot of it.

Eight people seem to be able to teach it.

"Well, I'm an artisan, so I think I can move without even telling you the process.

Bradley and the others say as they think.

"... is that right?

The primary purpose of this briefing is to find someone to come to Mr. Bradley and the others... given the fact that I... "

"Yeah.

If the prototype was carried out by Steno Technologies and approved by Wang Du, the actual production would have been with the workshop contracted by the laboratory.

And for the first shield, the Elvis family (us) decided to change 100 each year.

Master Takeo also selects a workshop to build a shield, right?

"Yes.

The previous description only explains that a request for the production of a prototype will come from me to the Steno workshop.

But if you're going to put a prototype on Steno Technologies, it's natural to imagine the actual production phase ahead.

... so you thought that we could not cover ourselves at a future production stage after finishing the earlier explanation and exiting (...) ourselves.

I think Steno Workshop should make the selection first in the remaining workshops after this break and put the remaining workshops (...) together to create a manufacturing workshop.

"Hmm... because it's the latest technology in the country.

However, because of the high level of confidentiality that deals with both steno technology and the workshops that actually produce it, artisans are not allowed to be independent.

Takeo, you think there's something in return?

"Well... I wish I could explain that to you after this break and convince you.

"Hmm, does Takeo have a chance?

"There isn't.

I honestly will have to explain the future prospects and where the institute stands (...).

You'll have to offer me both good and bad things to make a final decision.

"Hmm... of how it works.

Frederick, where do you think the integrated workshop Takeo says we should put it?

"... it would be near Steno Technologies.

So I think we're going to select one block north of the city... but this workshop itself will be private.

Considering that the stage of producing the actual shield is about a year from this, I don't think we need to have it ready in a hurry.

"Hmm... you mean we should think about that when the workshop becomes an integrated haul.

Well, for now, it depends on how many workshops remain after this break.

"Yes."

Takeo snorted.
