Seeing the group of people's impatient expressions, Lu Yuan was taken aback.
After all, I had been looking for someone for so long, and the other party agreed so easily, it seems that many steps in the process were skipped.
He felt that all of this came so suddenly, catching him completely off guard.
However, the other party always gave me an explanation, which was the main reason, but it was somewhat far-fetched.
However, Lu Yuan felt that since the city was already in such a mess and he was short of workers, he might as well just hire them directly.
However, it's still necessary to do a thorough check before going, and collect everyone's identification documents first.
Lu Yuan immediately had Zhou Tong find people in the military to investigate the backgrounds of these people.
Zhou Tong took a large stack of documents to the military. Fortunately, the military still recognized all the contributions Zhou Tong had made in the military, so they did not make things difficult for him and directly allowed him to enter the archives to check these people's documents.
Because of the large number of people, Zhou Tong spent the entire afternoon checking everyone's identification documents. Holding a thick stack of files, Zhou Tong returned to their rented room.
Lu Yuan and his team were still conducting final physical examinations and various behavioral tests on everyone. Lu Yuan was conducting these tests based on the principle that it was better to have none than to abuse them.
He wouldn't allow these people to come to his place with dark or destructive intentions, so he had to ensure that everyone was innocent; otherwise, if any problems arose, their families would be affected.
Just as the inspection was about to be completed, the sound of a car came from outside. Lu Yuan turned his head and looked out the window, only to see Zhou Tong getting out of the car, carrying a thick bag in his hand.
The bags were clearly full of files, so after cleaning them up, everyone divided into several groups, each person with a stack, and began to check the files of these people.
Lu Yuan's requirement was that there should be no major crimes. Minor offenses could be dealt with leniently, as petty theft was not scary. What he was worried about was people who intentionally hurt others.
Lu Yuan was still wary of such people. After all, petty theft was a common occurrence in the city. Everyone has a time when they need to eat and stay warm, so petty theft was unavoidable.
After all, everyone in a working-class neighborhood has made mistakes, so we can't generalize and condemn everyone.
If Lu Yuan had followed his previous idea of not accepting anyone with a criminal record, he probably wouldn't have been able to recruit enough people.
Another factor is the family background. His family members shouldn't have a history of serious crimes, such as murder or other heinous offenses, as this could negatively impact him.
However, there are some special cases. For example, if some senior technicians are the leaders, Lu Yuan can make an exception, but he still needs to conduct a careful investigation to determine whether or not to accept them.
After screening, out of nearly three thousand people, less than a thousand were eliminated. That was enough, as Lu Yuan and his team didn't have that many people to handle.
So Lu Yuan waved and began to arrange for these people to work. In order to ensure that these people could work smoothly, Lu Yuan specially planned a residential area nearby.
In the residential area, they built a house using relatively simple cement slabs and brick frames. The house had large communal sleeping areas, with dozens of people sharing one room.
After all, those who come here to work, especially in the apocalypse, can forget about having good living conditions.
It was already quite good that Lu Yuan was able to find them accommodation and provide food, so they didn't need to think about anything more, and Lu Yuan didn't plan to prepare too much for them either.
They brought some workers with them, and when they arrived at the camp, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
The number of insects here was beyond their imagination; the car couldn't even drive any further because there were just too many insects. Every time they tried to drive past, they would crush countless insects, which was a complete waste.
Lu Yuan pointed to the house under construction in the distance and said, "This will be your house from now on. Okay, now I'll take you to see the new house and get familiar with the environment. We'll start working in the next couple of days!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lu Yuan then led these people to visit the residential area.
Then Lu Yuan assigned some people to start working, and then the factory assigned another group of people, and everyone pitched in to help.
Soon, in less than two days, the factory and residential area were ready, and a warehouse was even built next to it, filled with neatly arranged boxes.
These boxes mainly contain the processed bodies of the insects, which need to be transported to the military, so setting up a warehouse makes transportation easier.
Moreover, it doesn't need to be exposed to direct sunlight, preventing the insects' bodies from decomposing too quickly.
After all that was done, the factory officially started operations. There was no ribbon-cutting, no opening ceremony, nothing at all. Just a command, and everyone went inside and found their workstations.
Then, one by one, they took the unprocessed insects that were being delivered from the conveyor belt to their own side and began to complete their work for the day.
One by one, everyone took scissors and began trimming the bodies and claws of these insects, cutting off their heads completely. These things are disgusting, but no one seemed to mind, clearly having adapted to this kind of life.
They threw the insect corpses onto the conveyor belt, where the heat from below caused the insects' bodies to swell and their blood to flow out.
After the insect carcasses are processed, they are sent one by one to the far end, where packers are stationed to pack a sufficient number of insects into each box before transporting them to the warehouse.
The boxes were transported to the warehouse, where specialized people packaged the insects and then placed them in cold storage to prevent spoilage.
Finally, on the third day, the military sent over the first transport truck, which was fully loaded and had earned them nearly a million dollars.
Seeing how quickly the money was coming in, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, because the total cost of investing in building the house and hiring these workers was less than 100,000 yuan.
Earning a million in one go is an extremely lucrative business.
However, Lu Yuan knew that these insects could only make money for a short period of time. If they wanted to continue making money, there would be another insect swarm at the same time next year, and they could make another wave of money then.
