Chapter 1069 - New Trend?
And so just like that, Landon and his team headed into the forest region and dashed towards the snowy shores before diving straight into the cold waters.
They had already got word that the boy had been rescued and was on his way to their ship.
With this news, it was time for them to head home
Mission accomplished.
And while the gang were now preparing to head back on with glee, back in Baymard, several people were also immersed in a state of joy as well.
Standing around a large white table were several people dressed in white overalls, looking at the items on the table as if looking at newborn babies.
"Hahahahaha! These pieces are a masterpiece!"
"Yes! This time, we did it! We really did it!"
"Oh my God! After today, I'll open up that bottle of fine wine, and we'll drink to our success. Hahahaha! We did it, guys! Look! Our babies are born!"
The group of white-coat people picked up the pieces with their gloved hands and raised them high up as these pieces were Simba in Lion King.
Some wiped the teardrops hanging at the corner of their eyes, while others just stood there, trembling in sheer joy.
They did it! They really did it!
Overseer Tim, Overseer Wiggins, and a few supervisors under their industries looked at their masterpiece with pride.
Only the heavens know just how much stress this seemingly easy project gave them.
At first, they thought it would be a piece of cake since they had little experience with some parts of the process.
But who would've known that it would give them hell?
Remembering all the broken pieces they had thrown to the wall because they weren't good enough, everyone felt like all their sleepless nights and sacrifices were indeed worth it.
.
Everyone scooted around the table and observed the items with care, holding each item with both hands like a precious gem.
Coincidentally, there were a few new people in the group who were there today to start learning about putting the parts together.
And what were they putting together today?
Well, of course, it was none other than headphones!
Those who came in watched the superiors geek over the parts with curiosity.
Separately, the parts didn't seem all that hard to make.
But eyes could be receiving.
If someone said it was easy, Tim, Wiggins and the rest would smack the person so hard that they would find themselves in the past.
But even though designing and putting headphones would have some similar aspects as those, there were other distinct and key attributes that needed to be captured.
.
"Well, don't just stand there!
Come in! Come in!"
Very quickly, a few of the supervisors ushered the production team in.
Before they began actual production, they had to understand everything concerning headphones.
The research team, which was a combination of people from both Tim and Wiggin's industries, cooperating to create the structure, perfect rubber softness against the skin, wiring and so on... Had already researched and come up with parts that have reached a passive grade.
Of course with time, these things would get researched and improved year after year.
But for now, wasn't this great?
"Welcome, everyone!
Today, we will once again take a big deal into the future!
Some of you have been selected from different departments like those who create telephones, Tvs and so on.
While others are high school graduates that have just entered the Baymardian Institute of Science & Technology, and are here under part-time hours.
Well, whether you have experience or not, we will teach you everything from scratch.
In this project, your superior and I worked our butts off since October of this year to fully understand the project's in and out.
And just like we did, I expect you all to put your hearts and souls into this project.
Is that understood?!!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone answered in unison, with many wearing their glasses and looking sternly while holding their notebooks too.
From the ads in the newspapers, they only knew that it was some new project.
Nonetheless, they were still overly excited to get chosen because who didn't know that when the words 'New Project' came out, it meant something worth fighting for in the supermarkets and stores?
Everyone had also started saving and predicted the cost of buying whatever comes out of this 'new project.'
That was just how the people of Baymard rolled.
Typically, one would use 35~50% to pay bills, depending on how high their salary was or where they were staying, tuition, etc.
And the other half of their income would be split into two, savings and spendings.
So if they used 50% to pay bills, 25% would be saved in the bank for emergencies or fixture businesses... While the other 25% should be used for personal things like eating, buying clothes, cars, getting a family vacation, etc.
Saving was good, but one shouldn't forget to live their life with their loved ones as well.
So you best believe that if there were a new resort popping up, they would have a day visit.
Frankly speaking, there were also payment plans for some new items, depending on the item.
Plus, if it were an item like a radio or something of that sort, the price shouldn't be too high and moderately considerate.
They didn't know what these headphone things were, but they felt it shouldn't be as expensive as getting a new car or even buying a fridge, right?
Now, just listening to the name, Head-phones, showed that it would be something around their heads.
And when they say phone, are they talking about telephones?
Will they strap a wall telephone over their heads?
Or could it be that it would soon become a fashionable thing to wear those home phones on their head or dangling around their chins?
Then where will the wires go?
Will they be wrapped with wires while walking?
Headphones.
Could this be the new fashion?
