At the entrance of Longteng Foreign Trade Center.
Hua Zi led the thirty newly hired employees, who lined up in two rows to welcome Chen Dong and his two companions.
"Hello, boss!"
The voices were perfectly synchronized and their momentum was overwhelming.
These people are all retired soldiers, and among them are many outstanding individuals.
Hand-to-hand combat, firearms, reconnaissance, rescue, and even assassination...
All they learned was the skill of protecting their homeland.
However, after reintegrating into society, all the skills he learned in the military became useless.
Those who are assigned positions are better off; once they get a job, at least their livelihood is guaranteed.
Those soldiers who were not allocated a quota had to find their own way after leaving the military.
It is these people who have carried forward the fine tradition of hard work and perseverance in the military!
Chen Dong was very impressed with this.
Looking at the energetic new employees in front of him, Chen Dong nodded in satisfaction. These people were his core team!
"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Chen Dong, and I am the owner of Longteng Foreign Trade Company, and also your boss."
“You don’t know me or Longteng Foreign Trade yet, so I think it’s necessary to give you a ‘precautionary shot’.”
At this point, Chen Dong looked around and said loudly.
“Come work for me, and one month’s salary is equivalent to a year’s salary for you working in a state-owned enterprise, provided that you are willing to work hard and treat the company as your own home.”
“The company is making money, and I, Chen Dong, am not a stingy person. Here, I promise you all that in one year, everyone here will be a millionaire.”
In the 1990s, households with 10,000 yuan in assets were not as rare as they were in the 1980s, but they were still not many.
Chen Dong's words still caused a stir.
"Are they all millionaires?"
"How is that possible?"
"Boss, you're not joking, are you?"
"......"
Faced with the questions, Chen Dong's lips curled up slightly. He did not explain, but instead steered the conversation in another direction.
"The money you receive is commensurate with your efforts!"
"Simply put, our company does business with foreigners, selling goods produced in our country abroad, and then selling foreign goods back to China."
"Although we are doing legal business, we are, after all, in a foreign country."
"Given the long journey, encountering some issues is inevitable. Not to mention abroad, just within China alone, I'm sure you've all heard about the transportation problems that have arisen in recent years, right?"
Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement with Chen Dong's statement.
It's often said that bad people come from poor and remote areas, and that's absolutely true.
In some places, villagers deliberately block the road with large stones and trees. Want to pass? Sure! But you have to pay.
When they encountered drivers who refused to pay, several villagers simply climbed onto the truck and took whatever they could find.
This kind of thing is especially common in remote mountainous areas.
It's a bit like a bandit king who wants to pay a toll if you want to pass.
At first, these people were so poor they couldn't even afford food, so they didn't care about these things.
Later, they found that this method actually worked quite well.
Most of the passing drivers dared not speak out in anger and would choose to pay money to avoid further trouble.
If we encounter one or two hotheads, we're not afraid.
A truck with four people, including the driver, is considered a luxury setup; most trucks only have two people.
The opposing side appeared with dozens of farmers carrying sickles and hoes.
With this kind of situation, you're lucky if you're not scared, let alone dare to make a move? We've already removed the tires from your car.
These villagers, with nothing to lose, are not afraid of those wearing shoes; the whole family works together, and it's all a gang crime.
In some places, entire villages were highwaymen.
Even if the police are dispatched, it's useless; the law doesn't punish everyone!
At most, they'll stop for a few days, then go back to their old ways.
This is just a minor issue on land transport; there are even more people trying to make a living on trains.
Chen Dong's recruitment of these veterans as employees was, in a way, akin to hiring bodyguards.
His money didn't come from thin air...
If you can't even guarantee the safety of your goods, what's the point of doing business?
"I've said everything I need to say. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."
"For those who are willing to work with me, I'll say it again: I, Chen Dong, will never treat you unfairly."
"Those who don't want to work for me, the door is right here, you can leave now."
As soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, Hua Zi stepped out from the group and asked.
"Did everyone hear what the boss just said?"
"I'll count to three. Those who want to do it can stay, and those who don't can step forward."
"three."
"two."
Before Hua Zi could finish counting, someone below spoke up.
"Brother Hua, we are all soldiers who have served in the army. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, let alone danger. On behalf of my brothers, I just want to ask one question."
"Is the salary payment valid?"
"As for the salary, it's definitely on my word. My brother Dong's word is my word. How could I possibly shortchange you with a pittance?"
Hua Zi looked disdainful.
What's their salary compared to that?
Thirty households with ten thousand yuan each, that's thirty thousand yuan.
It sounds like a lot, but that's about it.
Even Hua Zi might not care about 300,000, let alone Chen Dong.
"I'm willing to stay."
"I'd love to!"
"......"
Hearing this, Chen Dong nodded and said.
"Since you're all willing to stay, we're all brothers eating from the same pot now,"
"Each of you, please introduce yourself: where you're from, your marital status, your special skills and hobbies..."
Within half an hour.
Everyone explained their situation.
Chen Dong silently wrote all of this down.
After all thirty people had finished speaking, he realized that there were quite a few talented people among them.
What's even more surprising is that one of them is a top-ranking soldier.
Those who don't understand military affairs can't imagine what a "king of soldiers" is like.
Calling them weapons of war is no exaggeration.
If in the 1990s, a household with 10,000 yuan was one in ten thousand, then a top soldier was one in a million.
"Li Haolong, would you be willing to be my driver and bodyguard?"
Chen Dong appeared to be all smiles, but was actually very nervous inside.
Even after becoming a billionaire in his previous life, he never enjoyed the treatment of having a top soldier as his bodyguard.
This isn't about money; top-tier soldiers are like rare treasures, something you can only come across once in a lifetime.
