"Pretty unbelievable, right?"
The man looked at Emmett's expression and chuckled. "I thought so too at first, so I split my production team into two groups. One had an overseer with a whip and slaves."
"The other had a quality inspector and the same number of regular workers."
"The slaves were just regular slaves—we fed them, housed them, but no wages."
"The other side got a really low base salary, plus piece-rate pay for extras. We didn't provide food or housing—they had to handle that themselves."
"And the result was exactly what I just told you. They produced three times as many clothes as the slaves."
"And that's even with the raw material supply chain not being totally smooth yet—sometimes we run short on materials. Otherwise, I think hitting 10,000 pieces wouldn't be a problem."
10,000 pieces no problem!
10,000 pieces!
The same number of slaves could only produce 3,000.
But these workers could produce 10,000.
