Chapter 416 New Projects 2
"Overseer Wiggins....Overseer Tim... both of your industries will be essential for this next project."
"Yes, your majesty!" They answered in unison.
"_"
One shouldn't forget that the system had tasked Landon with creating barging and hair saloons.
For this matter, he didn't want to create any electric tools like electric hair clippers, hairdryers and so on YET.
So for Wiggin's department, they would focus on creating chemical products like shaving oils, dry shampoo, hairspray and other basic barbing and hair salon.
One should know that even though simple tools like combs, brushes and scissors already existed in Baymard, the professional-grade ones were slightly different..... as they had different types and uses for each.
Take for example the matter if barbing one's hair.
One might need a SOFT brush for sensitive scalp, a PADDLE brush, different types of combs and so on.
So for Tim's department, that was what they would be focusing on instead.
.
And while these products were being made, Landon would hire more people and train them for at least a month before they could officially begin.
In Landon's mind, looking at District C (government buildings, hospital region), district D (luxury hotel, go-kart region) and District G (national park, local hotels region)... these were the regions where both barbing and hair salons would be in.
And each region will have at least 4 barging salons, as well as at least 5 hair salons within it.
With several guests and tourists coming in, for sure.... he knew that this place would be a hit, especially with the women.
He had specifically requested for Wiggins to make professional hair styling products that would make the women's hair shine and look vibrant.
Yup! For sure, the place was definitely going to be a success!
.
"With that said... overseer Tim..... before we get onto the last thing on my list, we'll begin with eyewear first."
"Yes, your majesty!"

.
The more Landon spoke, the more everyone in the room was taken aback.
"Your.... your majesty!
So these 'glasses' thing can make people see better?" Tim asked in shock.
This was definitely something that only a messenger from the heavens could do.
Tim and everyone looked at Landon in awe.
All hail the great king Landon.
.
"Your majesty, from the list you've given me... under the 'PRESCRIPTION glasses' list, there are 5 main types:
▪Single Vision glasses
▪Multifocal Lenses
▪Bifocal
▪Progressive
▪\u0026 reading glasses.
In addition to this, each type has several categories within them.. ... like the Single Vision glass one that has different types that focused on: nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism... and several more within it.
So even though there are just 5 main branches of prescription glasses that will be produced..... in truth, we will be producing over 30 different types of prescription glasses.
But even at that, there's something that I don't understand your majesty.
What happens when none of the standard specs for making these glasses work with some particular patients?" Tim asked while massaging his chin curiously.
For him, this was a serious matter, as the main goal of manufacturing these glasses, was to meet everyone's needs.
.
"If that's the case, then based on the doctor's observations from their eye examinations, we can make them their own custom-made glasses as well.
Take for example the single vision glasses branch..... in particular, the sub-branch which tackles nearsightedness.
Lenses used to correct this situation are called the 'Minus Power Lenses', as seen in your file.
So within this particular glass type, the lenses could have several power ranges as well.
So since it's a minus lens, one could have a '-3.00 D' lens or even a '-6.00 D' lens.
In short, it's safe to say that we will be creating a massive range of lenses just within each sub-branch alone.
So if the patient doesn't fall within what we make, we can just customize lenses particularly for his/her case."
"So your majesty, the Patient would order glasses from us?"
"No.... not the patient, but the hospital, clinic or any other region that sells them out.
From there, we send their custom-made glasses to the hospital or establishment that requested them.
Of course, at that point, the patient will either have it shipped out to their home address..... or pick it up at the establishment depending on their preferences.
But no matter what, we do not personally ship medical customized eyeglasses them out.

.
Hearing this, everyone nodded as well.... as they too were intrigued by this glasses thing.
One should know that for many of them seated here, it wasn't a lie to say that their vision had indeed deteriorated throughout the years.
So these prescription glasses might definitely be the answer for them.
"One last question your majesty... apart from these prescription glass category, there's also something called Fashion glasses.
Ermm..... mind me asking your majesty, but what do these ones really do?" Tim asked confusedly.
The first category made sense to him, but this one had no specialty to them.
One should know that some prescription glasses might even cure myopia in children..... but these ones didn't cure anything, and honestly seemed useless in his eyes.
But unbeknownst to him... his future self would be one of the first people to rock sunglasses in style.
As for now, he was still unconvinced about the whole thing.
.
For the fashion glasses, of course, there were sunglasses, regular clear stylish glasses.... as well as glasses with different colour lenses like yellow and red instead.
And of course, they would also come with different frames as well.
And with the emergence of cathode-ray TVs.... hehehehe..... many people will see them as a stylish trend very soon.
As for where the glasses would be manufactured, of course for now.... Landon had suggested that they use one of the warehouses within the construction industry and build them.
And in the meantime, while they were doing so, Tim also had to build an 'Eyewear manufacturing industry' as well.
As for who would be the overseer there, Landon had given the duty of choosing the next overseer to Tim.
They would go through the usual screening method and promote one of the supervisors or project operators for the job.
.
Landon looked at Tim and smiled.
"Finally... as for the last thing on the list, let's talk about Cathode TVs."
