Chapter 292 Transfer of Greenhouse
"...Mr. Xu from Haishi, the same Mr. Xu who bought over 700 jin of dried mushrooms from our village before, said he wants to build a factory in Hezibao..."
"...Don't sigh, this is great news! Although the factory is located in Hezibao, everyone can participate in the recruitment! However, there are requirements for recruitment: you must be literate, able to read and write..."
"...The factory is expected to be over 800 square meters, in two phases. The first phase is a food purchasing plant, over 300 square meters, and we expect to hire at least 30 employees... The monthly salary is 1,000 yuan, lunch is provided, one day off per week, and we offer five social insurances and one housing fund... I don't know what five social insurances and one housing fund means, I'll explain it to you later... Anyway, it's a job at the main gate, and the salary is higher than in Hongshan Town or even the city..."
"...How will the assessment be conducted? You've hit the nail on the head... After the factory is built, there will be a three-day registration period, and then everyone will be called together for an exam... I don't know about the exam yet, I'll talk about it later, don't interrupt me... When the time comes, we'll start recruiting from the person with the highest score, all the way up to the thirtieth person, we'll take them all..."
Despite the limited number of spots and the competition with people from other villages, everyone remained highly motivated.
Putting everything else aside, the monthly salary of one thousand yuan is enough to tempt anyone.
If one person in a household can earn 12,000 yuan a year by working in a factory and living outside, is that considered pure profit?
After answering everyone's questions, Village Chief Liao wiped the sweat from his forehead, which had broken out due to excitement. Although he wasn't disheveled, he looked quite pleased with himself.
I knew that Li Qixin's sudden decision to start a literacy class must have some ulterior motive. Last night, before I even heard the news, I rushed to Xu Heping and heard everything that Hezibao from Haishi had to say.
Li Qixin is really something else. First, he persuaded Hezibao to buy mushrooms, and then he also bought up the crops.
Watching the departing figures of the group, Xu An couldn't help but feel puzzled.
“If we expand the planting area, there’s nowhere else to go…” Xu An stopped mid-sentence, realizing something, and looked at the group suspiciously, asking, “Could it be that they’re planning to sell the greenhouse after they’ve finished?”
"Aunt Hong, digging peanuts!" Boss Xu greeted the villager first.
Uncle Li inexplicably sensed a shadow of Uncle Dongliang beneath Boss Xu; that guy's indiscriminate lust for both men and women was truly wicked...
"That's a lot!" Tao Yue's face crinkled into a wide smile as she counted on her fingers for Boss Xu: "Seventy-eight catties of mushrooms, eight hundred catties of potatoes, two hundred catties of peanuts, one hundred and ten catties of chestnuts, one hundred and seventy catties of walnuts..."
"This year, we've sold far fewer of the produce we collected from outside the fields and the produce we picked up from outside the mountains," said Boss Xu, seeing that Aunt Hong had relaxed. He then got down to business.
Seeing that the others were willing to talk, Xu An didn't press them further and began to think seriously.
Upon hearing Xu An's question, the group quickly looked up. After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Shide directly stated their purpose: "Sister Hong, with his business booming, doesn't he plan to expand the planting area?"
Tao Yuepeng seemed oblivious to what was happening behind him. He crouched down, parted the soil covering the peanuts, picked out the largest one, and opened it, revealing two reddish-brown, shriveled peanut kernels.
Xu An quickly shook his head to dispel the terrifying image and stepped back into his home.
Xu Angang had just returned from the greenhouse planting area when he saw several unfamiliar figures standing at the gate of his yard, their mouths opening and closing as if they were talking about something. He immediately parked his car and walked up to them, asking, "Are they looking for you for no reason?"
"Oh no, break time! The first lesson today was going to be just eight characters for this kid..."
It's difficult to succeed, but before the supermarket terminated its cooperation with these small greenhouse growers, it was also preparing to terminate its cooperation with the other side! The cauliflower was only a week away from spoiling, so it was possible to terminate the cooperation at that critical juncture!
"Wow, that's a lot! Tao Yue is going to have a terrible New Year's Day!"
Just as the young man was feeling relaxed because he was unsure how to shoot the promotional video, and his usual farm work was not very tiring, Uncle Li, Tao Yuepeng, and a woman carrying a huge video camera hurriedly approached a villager who was digging peanuts.
As soon as Aunt Hong returned the greeting, she saw Uncle Li standing in front of Boss Xu and the tiny camera lens under the photographer's shoulder, pointing directly at her. She immediately thought of the promotional video shoot that Secretary Li had mentioned. She couldn't bring herself to say the first half of the sentence, and her hands trembled slightly.
Most importantly, this time, the people from Haishi who came to Hezibao finally stopped only caring about Xu Heping and started recruiting workers directly from all the villages they didn't know, hiring them based on their scores. That was a real problem!
"Oh no, this will have to trouble Sister Hong to keep an eye out for you. Thank you, Sister Hong!"
"We've planted them! The white ones haven't spoiled yet. This year we harvested 800 catties of peanuts, which we exchanged for 100 catties of oil. That's enough to last us a whole year!" Aunt Hong said with a smile.
If things had just stayed that way, that would have been fine, but what I didn't expect was that in just half a month, they actually managed to persuade Tao Yuepeng to build factories in Xuheping! And not just two!
Today is the first day, so naturally I'm going to set a bad example!
At the very end, it was supposed to be Uncle Li chatting with the villagers after the shoot, with Boss Xu assisting the photographer. Surprisingly, the villagers seemed more relaxed around Uncle Li than around the camera lens. After Tao Yue had been talking for a while, one villager simply said, "Hezibao is right..."
