《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 514. Congestion
Advertisement
It was another gloomy winter morning here in Baymard.
Last night, it snowed hard for several hours...and only lessen up a bit at around 6 A.M today.
The air was cold and somewhat dry, and the sun's rays were all covered up by the dark gloomy clouds above.
And on the streets, everyone was properly covered up, with thick coats, socks, mittens, scarfs and other warm items as they went about their busy schedules.
Speaking of schedules, today... Landon was utterly swamped.
'Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!'
"Your majesty, it's almost time for your 11 A.M appointment."
"Alright..... thank you, Brian."
With that, Landon quickly headed towards District C.
Today, Landon was scheduled to have several meetings with many Association or committee heads... as well as several government workers too.
To put it simply, Baymard already had several committees that had been formed a while back.
For example..... there was a taxi committee, that consisted of taxi drivers who had been appointed by their fellow colleagues to handle or make known their issues or problems to the government or his majesty.
In short, Baymard had a lot of committees like that.
So when they faced any issues, they would send their concerns or solutions for approval government wise.
After all, approvals could be granted..... if what they requested for, didn't go against any moral standards or make the lives of the people worse.
Anyway, today... Landon was meeting with the committee leaders to listen to what their colleagues complained about.
'Catchack!'
Landon and his secretary stepped out of the car and walked towards one of the government buildings on site.
They had booked a hall within a building just for the meeting.
Of course in addition to the committee leaders, their government counterparts would also be in attendance as well.

For example, if the association or committee leader of all taxi drivers was here..... then 2 or more government representatives from the Ministry of Transport would also be here as well.
Because those from the government, as well as Landon.... were the only ones who could hear or approve on any suggestion that they had.
"Good morning your majesty!"
"Good morning your majesty!"
Landon walked into the already filled hall with his secretary... and quickly settled down before looking at his watch again.
10:52 A.M
Soon, the meeting would begin.
8 minutes flew by swiftly, and once the time was up..... Landon's secretary stood up and announced for the meeting to begin.
"For today, we only have 7 main cases to look at.
And as usual, we will be handling all concerns based on those who first submitted them.
The first case involves the local diners/F business committees.
Mr. Solomon..... you may begin."
"Thank you, and good morning to you all.
My name is Solomon Pyter, and I'm the manager of 'Early Bird Cafe'.
I was elected by all the members within the committee to be their leader for the next 2 years.
And from my monthly meeting with them..... all over Baymard, the main issue that we're facing right now is congestion during the early mornings.
Every morning, we get a swarm of customers who want to get something to eat real fast before they get to work.
And the issue is that they have to leave their cars and wait in long lines and are at times late for work.
We just wanted to bring this matter up, so that we can make things easier for the customers.
That is the only matter that's currently bothering us right now."
Listening to Solomon, Landon's eyes instantly lit up.

Hmm...
It seemed like it was time.
It was finally home to introduce the concept of Fast Food to these people.
Currently, people were still very okay going into restaurants or other establishments and getting meals.
In short, several establishments within major cities throughout the empires..... all had the same problem that Baymard was now facing.
Even small establishments that sold bread, like the bakeries, still had waiting-lines that could make one wait for more than 30 minutes on it.
This issue was simple to fix, but human beings generally never thought anything of it.... as they felt like that's the way it should be.
Even back on earth, it wasn't until the 1920s... that the concept of fast good, as well as the first fast-food restaurant, was born in the form of the famous 'White Castle' restaurant.
When Fast food was introduced, businesses ended up serving twice as many customers as they usually did... Because while somewhere within the establishment making orders, the rest were in the drive-through instead.
This would definitely cut down on the traffic and make things a lot easier for them to handle.
Of course in addition to that, Landon had requested for them to hire more staff that would handle drive-through orders instead.
Everyone was utterly shocked at how fast his Majesty's mind worked.
Sure, they had submitted their problem prior to this meeting not too long ago.
Indeed, they thought that Landon would need more time to come up with this solution.... hence they thought that after at least 2 more months they would have a feasible solution on the end.
But who would've known that his majesty would come up with a solution this fast?
No wonder the kan was their king.
"Your majesty.... so we will get professional speakers and microphones installed outside the buildings for this driveway thing?" Solomon asked curiously.
"Hmhm.... not only that, but each establishment will need to make a massive signboard that had all menu options on it.
This way, those paying through the drive-by can read on the signs and order at will."
"So your majesty, after the customer orders.... they drive to another window upfront and pay, before going forward again to cover their meal?"
"In essence, that's the entire gist of it.
The workers need to act swiftly, and also need to be well trained too.
But not to worry... I'll personally take time off to properly train a few men first."
"Thank you, your majesty!"
