At Taiping Bridge late at night, the wind blew from the direction of the river bank, carrying an unpleasant smell. There were snakes and rats scurrying among the grass, indicating that the land had not been leveled yet.
Due to construction, there are more than a dozen construction sites in the "Shengguang Industrial Park" on both sides of the river. Seven or eight construction units are setting up camp. High-wattage iodine tungsten lamps illuminate the river, and there are many people.
Several companies in the "Harmony" department have been developing rapidly recently, and they can no longer meet their needs by recruiting rural migrant workers.
So He Yulan tried every means to ask for help from the city, hoping to accept a group of veterans. When the city heard the news, they were delighted and immediately rated the 'Harmonious Trading Company' as an 'advanced unit for dual support work'.
‘Harmony Super Mart’ sells a large number of second-hand electrical appliances. Most of these electrical appliances are old or broken, which requires a large number of home appliance maintenance personnel. He Yulan specially organized a home appliance maintenance class.
‘Harmonious Logistics’ needs vehicle driving and repair personnel. Zhou Qingfeng also wants to have his own construction team and needs engineering construction personnel.
It just so happens that the placement of veterans has been a persistent problem in recent years.
There is a carrot in the government and there is no place for them without a staff. State-owned enterprises cannot pay their own wages and cannot recruit people. Finding a way out on your own is equivalent to paying some retirement pay and rushing home. Most veterans can only farm.
No one is satisfied.
The 'Harmony' department provides serious jobs with a monthly salary of not less than 300. The city provides a group of veterans with resettlement issues, and the two sides hit it off.
Five hundred military-civilian talents were immediately put on duty.
Being able to create 500 jobs is equivalent to giving a big credit and a favor to the city government. It can solve a big problem. Both the military and civilian parties will be grateful.
This alone will prevent the local government from letting Zhou Qingfeng fall at will.
For Zhou Qingfeng, the 'Harmony' system is expanding significantly in the counties and cities around Tianyang. The joining of a group of veterans who have received two or three years of training can greatly increase the speed of expansion.
Professionals such as automobile corps, engineering corps, and communications corps are even more popular. Even ordinary soldiers are better than migrant workers.
Illiterate migrant workers also urgently need to strengthen management. Veterans can join in to avoid being polluted and controlled by rural forces.
This is what kills multiple birds with one stone.
Most of the veterans are at the construction site of the 'Shengguang Industrial Park'. Zhou Qingfeng's garbage warehouse is near the construction site, which also includes a storage yard for recycling garbage and goods.
On the other side of the storage yard are hundreds of tents, all of which are stock purchased from the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department.
The newly established "Harmonious Construction" is headed by a retired engineering battalion commander. He has retained the military style and is leading an emergency gathering of young migrant workers recruited in the middle of the night.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this, but he hoped to get a capable engineering team.
After all, engineering, especially large projects, is not an easy task. Military management is very necessary for the engineering team.
The transportation dispatch team at the storage yard works around the clock, and a retired communications company commander controls this command organization, which is like a brain.
On the first day he took office, this "Lian Zuo" cursed the original dispatcher as a waste, and the next day he reported to Zhou Qingfeng and asked for 50,000 yuan.
Zhou Qingfeng approved one hundred thousand.
Because the retired company commander listed more than twenty kinds of communication equipment and fifty staff establishments that needed to be purchased, including radio stations and cipher machines.
In the following week, the retired company commander was busy making phone calls, sending telegrams, and sending travel expenses to his comrades and subordinates all over the world. He really gathered the personnel and equipment he wanted.
The storage yard dispatching team of ‘Harmony Logistics’ has been built into a tactical command center.
Hundreds of vehicles and hundreds of personnel were commanded by the retired company commander to "fight" everywhere. He stayed in the tent to enjoy the "fighting" addiction.
Because he often didn't take a shower for several days in a row, this "Lian Si" was completely rotten, but he still enjoyed it.
For these soldiers who "respect their posts and love their jobs", all Zhou Qingfeng can do is to increase their wages, bring their families over, and arrange some jobs within their ability.
For example, Harmony Supermarket barely makes any money by running a breakfast stall, it is purely about raising people.
It is much more convenient to manage these veterans than to manage migrant workers.
For example, Zhou Qingfeng ordered not to break into the garbage warehouse next to the dock. With just one sentence, "a confidential place," they spontaneously organized a patrol team outside.
Zhou Qingfeng and He Yulan passed by the storage yard, and a light truck pulled the goods in from the intersection.
Under the illumination of car lights, the managers of the storage yard use walkie-talkies to communicate internally, which is convenient and convenient.
According to the words of the retired company commander, "This walkie-talkie is very good. None of the individual radios in the army work so well."
The light truck is parked in the storage yard, and the loaders are unloading the goods.
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at it from a distance and saw that it was cooking oil in oil barrels. A barrel of nearly two hundred liters was very bulky.
In the 1990s, cooking oil was packed in these large iron barrels, just like gasoline.
“Where did you get the cooking oil?”
"It was collected from the neighboring cities and transported by railway. Didn't you ask me to contact the source of some daily necessities? I have sent people to various places to check."
In the 1990s, the domestic market was closed, which gave various second-tier dealers a lot of room to operate. Many products were overstocked in the place of production and could not be sold, and the supply could not be found elsewhere.
What men do is run around and make friends.
He Yulan, on the other hand, has deep pockets and sends people to various places to collect business information and evaluate trade possibilities.
Wherever the fleet of 'Harmony Logistics' runs, business can be done.
“Now that we are famous, some businesses will even come to us.
A businessman from Hunan called us two days ago and asked if we wanted shiitake mushrooms? He said he was willing to bring the goods for an interview. I agreed. There will be more and more such things."
Zhou Qingfeng smiled when he heard this, "Is anyone selling cans?"
"Yes." Yulan replied affirmatively, "Tianyang is rich in citrus, and there are several canneries. I'm already buying some. Do you want to buy more?"
Zhou Qingfeng laughed, "Yes, yes, please buy more. You can buy more light industrial products."
The bulky cooking oil drums were unloaded and immediately loaded onto a tricycle. The three drums were stacked horizontally and tied together with hemp rope.
At night, someone will drive a car to transport it and deliver it to various retail locations in various towns.
"Is it safe to transport now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
"It's not very good. There are a lot of roadblocks and there are toll stations everywhere. In addition, roadblocks and robberies also happen from time to time. Last week, two three-wheelers were robbed.
I don’t know if the driver embezzled it or if it was really robbed, there’s no way to check.”
Magnolia is also distressed.
Zhou Qingfeng grinned after hearing this, and secretly told Sophia: "Let Aileen come forward to investigate, we can't encourage this kind of trend.
If everyone thinks we are fat sheep, this business will not work."
Sophia agreed, and Zhou Qingfeng took out a corsage from his pocket and handed it to He Yulan: "Sister, wear this from now on."
"What is this?"
"Uh..., I made a small magic weapon. If someone lies to you, the gem on it will light up red. But whether it works depends on whether your mental power can overwhelm the other person.
Let me teach you a little trick: take a sip of the physical strength potion before taking a lie test. The strong spicy stimulation can instantly increase your mental strength several times and last for two or three minutes.
Basically no one can deceive you during this period."
What Zhou Qingfeng said was so mysterious that Yulan felt stupid after hearing it. She accepted the corsage very solemnly and carefully pinned it to her collar.
When Knight Nasser gave Zhou Qingfeng the 'Lie Detection Corsage', with his super high mental power, he was absolutely unfavorable in his interactions with others.
But 'Discern Lies' is only a first-level arcane skill, and the corsage brooch is not a particularly valuable magic item in nature. There are many of these in Fabbro's legacy.
Zhou Qingfeng picked up several for use and just gave one to Yulan.
Normal physical potions will not increase mental strength, but Zhou Qingfeng added fire-breathing peppers from the abyss to it for cheap.
The result is that the liquid tastes extremely spicy, and normal wizards would reject it, but it has a short and strong refreshing effect.
In the real world, everyone is a mortal. Except for Zhou Qingfeng and the strange maid, there are no perverts with particularly strong mental powers.
With this thing, He Yulan can save some brains when doing business.
Walking through the dumping yard, on the other side is the warehouse of ‘Harmony Recycling’.
Recyclable items that have passed the undead primary selection will be stored here. Furniture, appliances and clothing among them will be transported away for subsequent processing.
Because at least hundreds of tons of domestic waste are screened every day, the recycled materials must be processed quickly, otherwise they will accumulate in large quantities.
Therefore, there are also people working in the recycling warehouse all day long to complete the screening that the undead cannot do.
For example, if some home appliances are seriously damaged, they need to be dismantled directly and the useful parts selected as spare parts.
This requires considerable professional knowledge and training, and all home appliance repair masters with many years of experience will do this work.
"Half of Tianyang's home appliance repair masters have been recruited by us." Yulan said with a smile: "The monthly salary we offer them is at least 300 yuan, which is much better than them working alone."
These days, it costs dozens of yuan to repair a TV. Home appliance repair is a good craft. Many people even learn it and make a living from it.
But if you work alone, you have to wait for business to come to you, and there is endless work at Harmony Recycling. Some people are not good at business, and would rather get a fixed income at Harmony Recycling.
"We calculate wages on a piece-rate basis. When a home appliance is sold, the master who handles it will be given a reward.
Last month, someone spent day and night sifting through worthless electric kettles and gadgets like 'heat quickly', and actually got a reward of more than 300 yuan. Of course, we made more."
Yulan raised her head to Zhou Qingfeng, proudly waiting for praise. Zhou Qingfeng lowered his head and kissed her. She was so embarrassed that she kept beating the man's chest in the dark night.
"Sister, there's no one around here."
"Nonsense, there are people over there in the storage yard."
