Your vision cannot possibly exist without workers and public infrastructure. Unless you can somehow produce and teleport teacups to everyone in the world by yourself.
Where did you get the money to make the investment? Who made the cup making machine? Who is doing the training? Why wouldn't someone be paid a salary or for training?
The employee will be doing the labor, not sure what the point is. Why not just operate the machine yourself? The employee's labor will more than cover whatever administrative costs you'll have. Remember, you did market research and you know everyone will buy these cups. If not, then you're not entitled to make gains on your investment. And it's not the employee's fault you made a bad investment. Investments carry risk, as you pointed out. So if your market research pays off, you will make enough money to cover the employee's salary, raw materials, and equipment, rent, power, insurance, etc, and even pay yourself a salary for doing managerial work. The question is how much of a salary do you get for sitting in a chair and using Quicken. Why do you get to take the surplus labor of the employee when your production is based entirely on them?
