Chapter 605 The Gaming Industry Pac-Man! (*0*) "Your majesty, what exactly is Pac-Man?" "It's an Arcade Game." "But what is an arcade game?" (-_-) . 39 minutes later, Tim's eyes were twinkling with excitement as he listened to Landon. So this thing had a screen like a TV, but had several coding mechanisms to it instead? Well, he was up tor the challenge! "Your majesty, say no more. I'll personally hand-pick some of our older software and computer engineers-in-training..... As well as some new ones from the Baymardian University of Engineering, Science & Technology." Tim said gleefully with his right hand on Landon's shoulder. "Wait, Tim! We won't be recruiting them now. I have several computer and software engineering textbooks here that have to be taught at the university first." "Eh? Your majesty, what do you mean?" Tim asked pitifully. Did his majesty want to push this project even further away after making him so excited? That was not fair at all! (;>?<;) Landon looked at Tim and sighed stressfully. Honestly, why did it always feel like he was babysitting rather than talking about work? "Tim, we need to educate them a little bit more before we begin. I'll personally train the professors in the University intensively for a month and a half, so that they could properly teach the students the basics. Of course, I'll continue to teach the professors even after that... But it's just that the first month and a half will be very extensive. Nonetheless, here's what I'm planning. After a month and a half when the next semester begins, the teachers will then continue teaching the students under my guidance for the first 3 and a half months. And after that, you can then start recruiting workers and train them for the next 3 months again... Before manufacturing officially begun." Landon said. . Typically, all engineers in Baymard were still engineers-in-training and will only be able to graduate after fully understanding their majors. So while working within the industries, they still had to make time off to attend classes as per their work schedules. In short, their classes were also seen as working days. So sometimes, some people were scheduled to work from Monday to Wednesday, and had an entire day of classes on Thursdays and Fridays. Others might work on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, and go to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays instead. To be fair, the shifts were always rotating with some working overnight or even daytime shifts. Of course, the university also took in graduates as well... Who would then enter the system and work part-time within the industries to gain experience too. Listening to Landon, Tim couldn't help nodding his head in agreement with his methods. "Tim... What I want is for them to properly assimilate and understand what we have been doing in Baymard all this while. From printers to photocopies, we have really done a lot. And even though they understand how those parts play a big role in each product... Not all of them know what other capabilities those internal parts have. That's why teaching them all functions of each part is a must, so that they can also think outside the box and even invent their own products as well. Because if we really have to wait for them to study everything in both computer & software engineering..... it might take over 4 years for each student to do so, and we don't have that time right now. That being said, all they have to do is follow your own steps and the rest is history! If you put something in a particular space, then they too should put it in that same so it as well..... With time, they will get to understand it better. So 5 months from now, recruit them and train them properly." "And within these 5 months, I'm guessing that you will also personally train me and some of the men too... Right your majesty?" Tim asked curiously. "Yup! After the university makes a contract with the Printing Industry for the software and computer books... Your industry should also follow suit and make a contract for a few books as well. Bear in mind that once you get those books, they should never leave the training rooms no matter what! Tim.... you are the only one who will be allowed to keep some of these books privately, since your office has a mini-safe there. Likewise in the university, the books will only be kept in the libraries... And just before every class, the students need to sign out the textbooks and return them immediately after class. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 Anyhow, when you're able to get the textbooks for your industry and select some people who will assist you in training the workers... Then we will begin." . Tim stroked his beard silently while listening to Landon. "Hmmm..... And how often will we train your majesty?" "2 hours on Thursdays and 5 hours on Saturdays... Depending on everyone's schedule of course." "Not bad at all your majesty. Those days are doable for me since I'm typically off on Saturdays. But just to be sure, I'll check my schedule on Thursday and give you my times of availability for everyone else as well." "Good! I'll be waiting for your schedules then. Anyway, as for workers that we will hire 5 months from now. ...I only want them to build the game first by hand. Doing so will make them better understand the mechanics and importance of each part, which will also allow them to know if there are any faults within the manufacturing process. That being said, from the time that I'll teach the professors to the time that the recruits will finish training... Will be 8 months in total." "Let me guess, construction time right?" Tim said playfully. How long had he worked for Landon? He already had an understanding of how this king of theirs operated. "Yup! Within this 8-month time frame, I need you to assign some construction workers to build an entirely new industry... The Gaming Industry." Landon smiled broadly while passing the construction design plans to Tim...who acted like he now had ants in his pants. "Tim, I need you to get at least 15,000 workers on this one. The faster it's built, the better for us." "As you wish your majesty! I'll do that right away!" "Good!"
