Building a Conglomerate in Another World

Matthew Hesh wasted no time in rallying his engineers to begin the work on Hesh Industries' latest venture. The energy in the factory was palpable, with teams of engineers and technicians buzzing with activity. They gathered in the workshop, a cavernous space filled with drafting tables, tools, and the hum of machinery.

"Alright," Matthew began, addressing the group. "Our priority is to create functional prototypes of the electric stove and fan. These will be the foundation of our household appliance line. They need to be efficient, reliable, and user-friendly. Let's get to work."

He turned to Henry, one of the senior engineers. "Henry, I want you leading the team on the electric stove. Focus on the heating element. It needs to be durable and capable of generating consistent heat without excessive energy consumption."

Henry nodded. "Understood, Mr. Hesh. I'll start by testing different materials for the element. Nichrome is the frontrunner, but we'll compare alternatives for cost and efficiency."

"Good. Keep me updated on your progress," Matthew said before turning to another engineer. "Martha, you'll oversee the electric fan. Start with a compact motor design. It needs to be powerful enough to generate a steady airflow but quiet and energy-efficient."

Martha adjusted her glasses and gave a firm nod. "I'll begin prototyping the motor immediately. We'll also explore blade designs to maximize efficiency."

As the teams dispersed, Matthew stayed behind, reviewing their plans and offering input where needed. He sketched modifications to the stove's dial system, suggested improvements to the fan's blade curvature, and ensured safety features were at the forefront of every design.

The workdays stretched into the evenings, but Matthew's resolve never wavered. After the factory floor emptied, he would retreat to his office, where the faint glow of a desk lamp illuminated his sketches and notes. It was during these late hours that his thoughts often drifted to Amber.

Each night, he made it a point to call her. The warmth in her voice always brought a smile to his face, a reprieve from the intensity of his work.

"How was your day?" Amber asked one evening, her voice light and cheerful.

"Busy," Matthew admitted, leaning back in his chair. "We're making progress on the prototypes. The team is working tirelessly, and I'm confident we'll have something tangible soon."

Amber's laughter was a balm to his tired mind. "I'm sure you will. You've always had a way of turning ideas into reality. The house feels a bit empty without you, though."

Matthew chuckled. "I miss you too, Amber. How's the estate coming along?"

"I planted some roses in the garden today," she said. "I think you'll love how it looks when you return."

"I'm sure I will," Matthew replied softly. "And I'll make it back as soon as I can."

Their conversations often lasted well into the night, filled with shared dreams, laughter, and the comfort of each other's voices. It was these moments that kept Matthew grounded, reminding him of the life he was building beyond the walls of his factory.

The days passed in a blur of experimentation and problem-solving. The first attempts at the electric stove were promising but flawed. The heating element generated uneven heat, scorching some areas while leaving others cold. Henry and his team worked tirelessly, testing different alloys and adjusting the design.

"The key is uniform heat distribution," Henry explained during a team meeting. "We're refining the element's shape and placement to ensure consistent performance."

Meanwhile, Martha faced challenges with the electric fan. The initial motor prototype was too noisy, a far cry from the quiet, efficient device they envisioned.

"We'll need to fine-tune the motor and redesign the blades," Martha reported. "I've got a few ideas to reduce noise and increase airflow efficiency."

Matthew spent hours on the factory floor, offering suggestions and encouraging the teams. His hands-on approach inspired the engineers, who pushed themselves to meet his high standards.

After weeks of relentless effort, the breakthrough finally came. Henry's team unveiled the first working prototype of the electric stove. It was a sleek, compact design with a smooth black surface and a simple dial for temperature control.

"We've solved the heat distribution issue," Henry announced proudly. "The heating element now provides consistent heat across the entire surface. It's ready for testing."

Matthew examined the stove closely, running his fingers over its polished surface. "Excellent work, Henry. Let's put it through its paces. I want to see how it performs in real-world conditions."

The stove was moved to the testing area, where a small team of cooks prepared various dishes to evaluate its performance. The results were overwhelmingly positive: the stove heated quickly, maintained consistent temperatures, and cooked food evenly. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Later that evening, Martha presented the electric fan prototype. It was compact, with a sleek metal frame and three curved blades. The motor hummed softly as the fan spun, generating a steady breeze.

"We've achieved the balance we were aiming for," Martha explained. "The motor is quiet and efficient, and the blade design maximizes airflow."

Matthew turned the fan on and watched as it silently filled the room with a refreshing breeze. "Well done, Martha. This is exactly what I envisioned."

With the prototypes complete, Matthew gathered the entire team in the boardroom. The electric stove and fan sat on a table at the front, gleaming under the lights.

"These prototypes represent the future of Hesh Industries," Matthew said, addressing the team. "What you've accomplished here is extraordinary. These devices aren't just innovations—they're tools that will improve lives and redefine how people live."

The room erupted in applause, the team beaming with pride.

"Now," Matthew continued, his tone serious, "our work is far from over. We need to refine these designs, test them rigorously, and prepare for production. This is just the beginning."

As the applause died down, Matthew felt a surge of pride and determination. The first prototypes were tangible proof of his vision, a testament to the power of innovation and teamwork.

That night, as he spoke with Amber, he shared the news. "We've done it, Amber. The first prototypes are ready."

"I knew you would," she replied, her voice filled with pride. "I can't wait to see them."

"You will," Matthew promised. "Soon, everyone will."
