Ten minutes later, Bart and Bella left the conference room, both of them with a trace of sadness on their faces.

The boss doesn’t seem to know Sandy Textile Factory, so what should I do? If I offend them, they won’t retaliate, right? Although our business has no overlap, with the scale of Sandy Textile Factory, who wouldn’t have some connections?

…

In the conference room, Luo Yin tapped the table lightly, thinking about the information the two people just said.

He didn't know anything about Sandy Textile Factory, after all, Misha used to work in Sandy Textile Factory.

However, Sandy Textile Factory has more than one factory in Qiongbicheng, and the factory where Misha works is in another place. In addition, the perspective is different and the things he can see are not comprehensive, so Luo Yin still asked the two of them.

Sure enough, Luo Yin got a very important piece of news that he had ignored before.

Sandy Textile Factory, or their boss Sandy, turned out to be a traditional old man.

This tradition refers to his slow acceptance of new things.

To be specific, steam engines have been introduced to Qiongbi City for a long time, and some capable factories have used steam engines. After all, machines are more efficient than people, and even strong orcs cannot compare with them in terms of working long hours.

steam engine.

But this Sandy doesn't like steam engines very much. His textile factory has always been mainly handmade. At most, there are a few water-powered textile machines in the factory next door.

When Luo Yin first got the news, he was very surprised. Sandy was so traditional? Or did he not see the benefits of steam looms?

But what the cat lady said made Luo Yin suddenly realize.

"Maybe it's because labor is cheap? Steam spinning machines are very expensive and require fuel, maintenance, etc., which are very expensive. But labor is different. Labor wages are not high, and any disease that occurs has nothing to do with the factory.

… Where I used to work, there were workers everywhere. But all the people put together were not as expensive as a steam loom…”

"That makes sense..."

In Qiongbi City, manpower is cheaper than machines.

Not only Sandy Textile Factory, but also some other factories were against steam engines.

Luo Yin used to think that they might not be able to afford a steam engine, but now that he thinks about it, it's not that they can't afford it, but they think it's unnecessary.

There is so much cheap labor anyway, so there is no need to waste money.

Take a textile factory as an example. In terms of output, manpower may not be as good as machines, but if it can't keep up with them, the cost will be lower!

When it comes to profits, those factories that use steam spinning machines may not necessarily have as high a profit as those that use manual spinning machines.

Of course, the output of Sandy Textile Factory is not low. As one of the three major textile factories in Qiongbicheng, although they are all manual textiles, their output is still guaranteed. Therefore, their profits should be terrifying.

The output is high, the cost is low, and it doesn't require much maintenance - if someone's machine breaks down, it costs a lot of money to repair it, but if someone else's machine breaks down, they can just replace it.

Some people's goal may be to make the company bigger, while some people may just want to make money. Sandy is most likely the latter.

Of course, most of the time, there is no conflict between the two. But sometimes, you still need to make a priority choice.

The choice is to improve scale and technology first, spend more money in the early stage, and take a risk in the later stage.

Or choose to remain unchanged in response to ever-changing changes, maintain the status quo and make money while slowly expanding.

There is no right or wrong between the two, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

Even in many cases, most people will choose the second one.

This is why, during some changes and tumultuous periods, some people take off quickly, while others slowly disappear.

But having said that, the reason why the air in the sugar factory is better than in other places is because there is no steam engine next door. Luo Yin has to thank others.

"Something interesting..."

Luo Yin can be sure with his forward-thinking vision that as long as Sandy is so content with the status quo, he will definitely be eliminated.

Not to mention the examples on Earth, there are already many examples in the Kais Empire.

But now Sandy is still the boss of one of the three major textile factories in Qiongbicheng, and is a well-deserved powerful person.

It's better not to offend him or not. But if he does get offended, Luo Yin is not afraid. He is no longer the same person as before. At worst, he will help Sandy "accelerate" the process of being eliminated!

Of course, Luo Yin had already offended Sandy, but Sandy didn't know it unilaterally.

In the afternoon, returned home.

Luo Yin began to make maltose.

Wheat and rice are easy to buy. Luo Yin bought some randomly and planned to do experiments first.

If there are no problems with the experiment, then Misha will be asked to help purchase large quantities.

The next day.

Luo Yin put the soaked wheat grains into the basket and waited for them to sprout.

After four days, the malt has grown and begins to be chopped and fermented.

The fermentation was completed the next day, and Luo Yin began to squeeze the juice and brew it. Soon, a portion of maltose that was as beautiful as amber was brewed.

Misha helped Luo Yin, and the three greedy cats laid their faces on the table and stared at Luo Yin expectantly.

Luo Yin divided the maltose into two parts and put one part into a glass bottle.

The other part continues to boil until it can solidify when wet with water, then pour it on the table and start pulling when it is not hot. The sugar gradually takes on a beautiful metallic luster. After pulling and folding to a certain extent, white strips of maltose appear.

.

Cut it off with a string, sprinkle some cooked cornstarch to prevent it from sticking, and wait until it is no longer hot to your hands. This is the maltose he ate when he was a child.

“It’s so sticky to the teeth—well, but it’s delicious!”

The three little ones were chewing maltose, with very confused expressions on their faces.

"Eat slowly and hold it in your mouth for a while."

Seeing how cute they looked, Luo Yin smiled and rubbed their little heads one by one, and then asked Misha.

"How do you think this maltose compares to sucrose?"

Misha tasted the maltose in her mouth, thought for a while and replied:

"Sucrose is sweeter, even too sweet to be eaten alone. But this maltose can be eaten all the time, it is not too greasy, and it is more fragrant and has a unique flavor... I like maltose better! Of course, I also like sucrose, but my favorite is still

White Rabbit…”

Luo Yin nodded with satisfaction. White Rabbit couldn't produce in large quantities and didn't think about it.

Sucrose and maltose are basically two different products, each with its own emphasis, but both are good.

Luo Yin does not intend to let maltose compete with cane sugar, but plans to make it a luxury product, staggering the product positioning of cane sugar.

After all, he will also produce sucrose in the future, so he can't conflict with himself.

The factory can start making maltose, but before that, the reputation of maltose must be established. Whether it can be sold at a high price may depend on its publicity. Oh, by the way, it also needs to change its name! Can't it be called
Chapter completed!
