YM778.TV Chapter 101 - 100: Poaching
Discarding the usual assembly line used for enhancing efficiency, a place where each part is crafted with complete attention! There’s a dedicated person overseeing every single component to ensure that every part produced is of the best quality! The final assembly, including seat trim and other details, doesn’t even enter a mechanical assembly line but is instead manually handled, completely customized! That’s the real meaning of handmade! However, that doesn’t mean that the factory equipped for this type of production is outdated.
On the contrary, most of the machines in there are top-of-the-line!
In a similar manner, if the machines are cutting-edge, then it naturally follows that the workers using them would also be advanced engineers! The yearly salaries of this group of workers are astronomical sums, even for people who are worth billions. Otherwise, why do you think luxury cars cost millions each? Do you really think it’s because of high material costs? Of course not, a large portion of that price point is the workers’ salaries!
After pondering for quite a while, Truman Dale’s eyes lit up. He then cautiously phrased his own statement saying: ‘Mr. Lewis, your requirements are very stringent, and you definitely will not settle for some ordinary factory. Judging from your requirements, the bespoke factories owned by the Volkswagen Company that are looking to be sold do not meet your needs at all. However, there is a factory currently that perfectly meets your requirements and most importantly, its parent company is also looking to sell it.”
“Oh?” Finn Lewis raised an eyebrow. This guy sure has a way with words, masterfully downplaying Volkswagen while emphasizing my status. If even Volkswagen, the world’s second -largest car manufacturer, doesn’t have many factories that can meet my standards, how prestigious am I? Of course, I am! Who says folks from the Federation can’t flatter people?
“It’s under the BC company, a brand you must have heard before, Maybach!” Truman Dale quickly blurted out. As soon as Truman Dale spoke, a light gleamed in Finn Lewis’s eyes. This guy hit the nail right on the head, capturing exactly what Lewis was looking for. Flying Horse’s technology is naturally not inferior to Volkswagen’s, although they lag behind in market sales, company scale, and automobile manufacturing.
But, don’t forget that Flying Horse doesn’t just manufacture cars; they also produce military off-road vehicles, trucks, buses, and even aerospace technology.
Of course, Finn Lewis knows about Maybach. It’s comparable to the Quadriga
Phantom. However, back in our country, a HyperCraft used to cost more than
40 million Flame Nation coins, which is more expensive than a Quadriga Phantom by a lot! Yet, it didn’t offer anything exceptional. In the end, the parent company of Flying Horse had to stop the production and sales of the
HyperCraft. However, that doesn’t mean that the factories producing
HyperCraft were lacking in technology; there were just some issues with the design.
Truman Dale was observing Lewis’s face closely. As soon as he saw Lewis show interest, he knew he hit the mark. He immediately said, “Mr. Lewis, the HyperCraft was one of the first creations of the Flying Horse company. It was renowned in Southern Federation from 1921 to 1940. Although it has stopped production, for all these years, its factories have always been among the most advanced ones of the Flying Horse company. Similarly, the engineers and employees there are also top-notch. Therefore, it very much meets your standards. Now, because it has stopped production, Flying Horse wants to sell it. After all, each day they keep it, it loses money.”
“Oh, but I heard that Flying Horse Company recently released a new model of HyperCraft, didn’t they?” Finn Lewis suddenly asked. This news isn’t precisely recent. For such a luxury car brand to go to waste is simply an extravagance. So naturally, Flying Horse wouldn’t sit idle. They would undoubtedly try to introduce a desirable model like the Quadriga Phantom to break into the market.
“Yes, you are correct. But I believe that the higher management at Flying Horse isn’t exactlv confident of HvnerCraft reclaiming its market share. because it
has already failed once,” Truman Dale immediately responded. When he spoke, he was confident. Clearly, he has a lot of insider info in this field.
“Mr. Truman Dale, are you satisfied with your current life?” Finn Lewis suddenly asked.
Truman Dale was taken aback. What did Lewis mean by this question? But he understood it in an instant. They were both intelligent people, so why else would Lewis ask such a question? Satisfied with his current life? Doesn’t this mean he’s asking Truman Dale if he wants to advance his life further?
What kind of life is most interesting to people? Look at the change in Fishy Wells. Before, a fifteen-yuan meal would probably make her feel anxious, but in just a short time with Finn Lewis, she’s become entirely numb to Lewis’s lifestyle. However, numbness doesn’t mean she hasn’t changed. On the contrary, Lewis’s lifestyle has stirred certain ambitions deep within Fishy Wells. Everyone has ambitions; there’s no doubt about that. People who appear to lack ambition just haven’t had theirs discovered yet.
This is even true for someone like Fishy Wells. In such a short time, she’s been studying hard every day. The books she reads and the things she pays attention to have changed from academic textbooks to the most cutting-edge fashion and advanced management concepts. Also, she has been learning from Julia Parker on how to apply makeup and buy top-tier fashion items every day.
These changes all indicate one thing: Fishy Wells wants to change her life.
Then what about Truman Dale?
If you asked Truman Dale in the past whether he was satisfied with his life? He would tell you that he was very satisfied. He makes close to 1.5 to 2 million South Federation Currency in a year. Even if there are differences, the gap wouldn’t be too big. This salary is undoubtedly part of the high-income group in the Federation. He has a villa, luxury cars, a beautiful wife, well-behaved children. Is he satisfied? Of course, he is! You need to know that ninety percent of the people in the world can’t compare to his life.
Unfortunately, the problem with this world is that there’s always someone for comparison. There’s always that small group of people that you just can’t compete with. If you asked Truman Dale in the past whether he was satisfied with his life, he would definitely say he was. But after just a short conversation with Finn Lewis, Truman Dale isn’t so sure whether he’s satisfied with his life anymore.
He has a beautiful wife, and even a beautiful, young lover. But what about Finn Lewis? He has two beautiful assistants who act like maids. From the time they booked their hotel rooms, Truman noticed that these two beauties didn’t even book a second room. Obviously, they are staying with Lewis. And here’s the problem: his beautiful lover costs him money, and he has to coax her. But what about Lewis? From beginning to end, Lewis has hardly ever paid attention to the girls’ feelings..
