Struggle in the Steam Age

The White Rabbit logo is Lawrence's unified trademark for all industries in the Great Lakes region. As a nobleman, although Lawrence has his own badge, it is impossible for him to use his own badge in this case.

After all, these factories are just some pure commercial industries under Lawrence, and in everyone's eyes, they should not be directly connected with the nobility. So these factories need a new badge as their own trademark no matter from what point of view.

As a result, when Lawrence thought of those products as dairy products, he immediately thought of the name White Rabbit. After all, when it came to dairy products, he thought of the toffee he ate when he was a child. As a result, these industries naturally have names that contain impressions from previous lives.

At first, some retainers were puzzled by Lawrence's name for the property, but they were naturally relieved later.

After all, these companies mainly produce some consumer goods, and they are still aimed at ordinary people, so the naming must be more popular. Otherwise you risk turning away potential guests with a bad name.

After all, this world is different from the last world Lawrence experienced. Many things here are classified into grades intentionally or unintentionally, even the names of the products.

In other words, just by looking at the names of various commodities in the world, it is possible to determine which type of people these commodities are targeting.

And companies like Lawrence's are obviously facing ordinary customers, so using the white rabbit as a trademark can instead attract the customers they face.

For example, Lawrence's black tea is directly named Earl Gray because it is different from these dairy products, cans or beer. Lawrence was going to sell these black teas as luxury goods, so giving such a name would actually help the sales of black teas.

But if you think about it on the other hand, if these black teas are also called big white rabbits, it feels like the grade will be over. At least Lawrence felt that no one with a little money and status would buy black tea with this name.

"We've branded that rabbit on all of our work uniforms. Uniform clothing, as you've ordered, brings out the spirit of teamwork."

After finding that Lawrence was looking at the group of workers who were eating, a manager next to him said to Lawrence.

"Spirit of collectivism?" Lawrence asked a little puzzled after hearing what the manager said. He didn't quite understand why a factory hired workers to be able to get this kind of knowledge.

"Because most of our workers are recruited from the countryside." Another manager in a windbreaker said helplessly.

So they have some characteristics that are not suitable for industrial society, such as lack of sufficient discipline, and for example, they do not have a strong sense of time and the concept of cooperation with other people. "

"I think you should know that once such people are put in the factory, it must take a lot of time to correct their habits. Otherwise, the whole factory will be messed up."

Having said that, the manager showed a helpless expression on his face. "Because those factories were temporarily unable to recruit people due to expansion, so we finally decided to recruit a group of people after discussing it. Then we also have this kind of collective labor so that they are more suitable for future factory life."

"It does sound like a good idea." Lawrence nodded approvingly. Because of the characteristics of traditional agricultural production, those agricultural producers are not very suitable for the rhythm of industrial society.

Therefore, when Lawrence recruited immigrants on Shaw Island before, he often gave those immigrants engaged in non-industrial occupations a period of collective labor training so that they could better integrate into the life on the island.

When training various managers on the island at that time, Lawrence also explained in detail the reasons why he did this before.

Obviously, this group of managers listened to what Lawrence said during the training. And when encountering similar problems, learn and apply those knowledge

"You have done a very good job. I hope you can keep this situation going." After visiting several manors, Lawrence said to the accompanying managers with satisfaction.

In addition to inspecting several farms accompanied by these people just now, he also secretly sent some small monster phantoms and paper figurines to make unannounced visits.

And everything that was observed later proved that whether it was an overt inspection or an unannounced visit in the dark, it can prove that these farms are developing very well like the previous factories.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we will definitely maintain the current state." After hearing Lawrence's praise, these managers put their right hands on their left chest and bowed to Lawrence at the same time.

After seeing this scene, Lawrence also bowed his head slightly, expressing his appreciation for their work.

After completing all the inspections, the time came to 8:30 in the evening. Considering that it is getting late now, it is not convenient to go back to the city directly. So Lawrence and Safir decided to stay in the dormitory at the farm for one night, and then return to the city when it dawned tomorrow.

Because these managers knew that Lawrence didn't like the habit of tossing, they naturally didn't make any special preparations for Lawrence's arrival. For example, those dinner dishes are only richer than the daily diet, not the so-called big meals.

However, Lawrence and Safiel are quite satisfied with these fresh foods. To be honest, as extraordinary people, their usual requirements for food are often fresh, large quantities, and good taste. It does not pursue the rarity of the ingredients or the delicacy of the cooking techniques.

Therefore, the various barbecues used to entertain Lawrence and the others here are more in line with their requirements. At least compared with the banquets among nobles, this kind of banquet can satisfy them.

As the Earl of Sauer, Lawrence had participated in many nobles' banquets in the Holy Visby Empire before. Unfortunately, the amount of each dish at those banquets was too small. So much so that after attending the banquet, he always had to find a way to find another food to fill his stomach.

After dinner and some tea, Lawrence and Safir sat down directly to chat about today's inspection.

It is definitely not appropriate for them to go to bed after eating now. So just take advantage of this one or two hours before going to bed to talk about some topics that they are all interested in.

"It seems that these industries are developing well now, but I feel that you seem to be restoring everything you did on Shaw Island in these industries." Safir said to Lawrence seriously.

During the inspection, Safiel always felt that these industries gave people a sense of strangeness and familiarity.

After thinking about it seriously, she realized that the strangeness came from the obvious difference in the management of these industries and those that are popular in the world now. The sense of familiarity comes from the fact that the way this industry operates is basically the same as those on Shaw Island.

"Yes, there is a certain degree of replication. For example, the industrialization of agriculture, and the construction of various infrastructures." Lawrence nodded and admitted.

"But in fact, more modern agricultural construction is carried out under the guidance of the same core of industrialization, and it is not completely copied."

"To give the simplest example, we only built some fodder silage storage cellars and cellars for composting in the farms and ranches here, and did not build the biogas digesters on the island."

After hearing Safir's question here, Lawrence immediately gave a brief introduction. "The reason why the biogas digesters are not built is also very simple, because the temperature here is too low, and there is no way to work normally."

"And I've seen a lot of similar improvements that are appropriate to the location, which is why these industries have developed very well."
