Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 722: Chapter 374: Learning from the Barbarians to Control the Barbarians (First Update, Please Support with Monthly Tickets)

Spring Spencer was momentarily stunned and instinctively retorted, ”That’s impossible. Quality and efficiency are contradictory no matter how you look at it. The only thing we can do is to strike a balance between quality and efficiency that aligns with cost control. Pursuing quality blindly, just like pursuing efficiency blindly, does not conform to the basic principles of modern large-scale industry.”

Lawrence Winters had thought through his plan and, with a carefree smile, said, ”Why must you pursue quality blindly or efficiency blindly? Mr. Spencer, why do you oppose quality and efficiency? Can’t you let both quality and efficiency improve together?”

”Moreover, what exactly are the principles of modern large-scale industry? Which textbook or academic paper mentions this concept? If none do, then is it you, Mr. Spencer, who gets to decide?”

”On the contrary, the only thing I know is that productivity is the ultimate driving force for the development of human society. This can be extended to be the fundamental principle of human industrialization because without productivity, there can be no great development of industrialization.”

”Similarly, what is productivity? — Technology, only science and technology, is the primary productive force!”

”All other management mechanisms, cost control, and human resources are merely auxiliaries attached to this ultimate mechanism of science and technology.”

”Without the skin, where will the hair adhere?”

”Conversely, only with the skin can there be hair. — Hence, as long as we can make significant advances in technology, quality and efficiency are not contradictory but can improve simultaneously.”

Spring Spencer was captivated by Lawrence Winters’ eloquent arguments. After a moment, she chuckled and said, ”Well said, no wonder you’re the spokesperson for the public relations department of an entertainment company. But, Ms. Winters, do you understand what the concept of productivity development is?”

”It’s not something you can achieve just by shouting slogans here today. It requires countless people, remember, countless people, not one person, not two people, not even hundreds or thousands, but millions and billions of people’s efforts to realize the progress of productivity. — So do you think what you just said is suitable for our current situation?”

”Or can you, by yourself, promote the progress of human productivity?”

Lawrence Winters smiled faintly, gave a thumbs-up to Spring Spencer, and said, ”Mr. Spencer, your eloquence is quite good, and your political economics isn’t bad either. The great development of human productivity isn’t something I can promote singlehandedly.”

”But...” Lawrence Winters flipped her wrist, and her thumb turned downward directly, ”Mr. Spencer, I never said I was going to solve the entire world’s productivity, did I? I was talking theoretically that the development of productivity, which is the development of science and technology, can push forward high-precision industrial development, namely, the simultaneous development of quality and efficiency.”

”And with theory, we can analyze real-world problems. — Mr. Spencer, have you ever considered how to apply the productivity theory to the real problems we face now?”

Spring Spencer was not angered by Lawrence Winters’ gesture, nor did she show weakness. She simply looked at her kindly, as if looking at a child throwing a tantrum, and said with a gentle smile, ”Well, let’s hear it.”

She winked at Director Jiang, signaling him to ”stay calm”.

This kind of performance was indeed a sophisticated contempt, creating a psychological implication of superiority for the other party.

If Lawrence Winters had been targeted like this before grabbing Spring Spencer’s hair, she wouldn’t have stopped at just grabbing hair; she would surely have beaten her up.

But having gone through the hair-grabbing incident and then being ”forgiven” as if nothing happened, Lawrence Winters’ anger threshold had risen a level. It was not so easy to provoke her anymore.

Every word and action of Spring Spencer was under Lawrence Winters’ scrutiny and learning.

Learning from others to outwit others was one of Lawrence Winters’ skills.

She also smiled lightly and spread her hands saying, ”Oh, you want me to just say because you want to hear it? That’s not gonna work. This involves industry secrets and technology copyright; I can’t just casually disclose it.”

Then she turned to Kenneth Osborne sitting at the head and said, ”Mr. Osborne, I can only tell you this method because you are the one who developed this software, the one with the copyright to this system software.”

Kenneth Osborne was a little excited; he seemed to understand what Lawrence Winters was going to do...

Spring Spencer was very surprised. She looked at Lawrence Winters and then at Kenneth Osborne, always feeling there was something between them that she couldn’t understand.

She coughed uncomfortably, then smiled and said, ”...Can’t you just introduce the method? I don’t understand software systems; I just want to know how impressive Ms. Winters’ groundbreaking strategy is.”
