Here, after Shi Zhijian left the Western Medicine Store, he hurried to the Yuen Long Factory. There are still many things waiting for him to do in the factory, the most important thing is to recruit people!
Now that we have factories and machinery, the entire production line only lacks raw materials and workers!
It's easy to talk about raw materials. As long as the factory is set up and officially started, those grain and oil suppliers will take the initiative to find supplies.
Regardless of whether it is this era or the previous one, suppliers sell goods on credit and then start making money.
The main problem now is workers. Ten production lines will require at least thousands of workers, and this does not include the transportation team and security team in the future.
According to the original plan, Shi Zhijian planned to recruit locally in Yuen Long. After all, it is the closest to the factory and has the largest and cheapest labor force in Hong Kong.
…
Three days later, Yuen Long surrounded the village----
In order to save money, Shi Zhijian had to write more than fifty recruitment posters, and then personally posted posters on the walls with his good brother Ding Yongqiang to recruit workers.
Ding Yongqiang was very happy at the dock recently.
Because of Shi Zhijian, Dao Daoxiong, who was in charge of the dock work, specially transferred Ding Yongqiang's work.
In the past, Ding Yongqiang worked as a hard laborer, loading and unloading goods and was paid by the piece. After a month of hard work, his salary was only about 300 yuan. Now he has been directly promoted to a "chip man". He doesn't have to work hard, he just sits there and counts the money.
.
Although Ding Yongqiang's nickname is "Silly Qiang", he has read some books and is literate. He is especially good at calculating accounts, which also surprised Da Daoxiong.
"Ajian, I can only help you for a few days. The dock has been very busy recently, and I have to rush back to work."
Ding Yongqiang carried the glue bucket and used a brush to apply glue on the wall.
Shi Zhijian frowned. This recruitment advertisement had been posted for several days, but there were not many people looking for a job. The few who came occasionally were old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Why don't you come directly to me from now on and I'll pay you your salary!"
"Now that I'm a banker, I can earn five hundred a month!"
"I'll give you a thousand!"
"Ahem, it's not that I don't believe you," Ding Yongqiang glanced at Shi Zhijian cautiously, "Everyone knows that you helped Hong Yihai take over the dock and spent all the money. You have no money now, otherwise you wouldn't have done it yourself.
I’m here to put up posters!”
"It's not that I don't have money, I still have fifty or sixty thousand. I have other uses, so I have to save some money!" Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes at Silly Qiang.
Shaqiang looked at Shi Zhijian with pity, feeling that he was still pretending at this time. If he really had money, it would not be easy for him to be a poor man again, and he would suffer the consequences to save face.
"In addition, your factory is so big that you need money but no money, and you need people but no one. How do you say that? My grandma often nags me. By the way, it's called 'Eels on the Beach: Don't Die'
Let’s go! You’ve built such a big business, and now you’re in a hurry to start construction but can’t recruit people. I think this factory is a little bit in danger..."
Shi Zhijian glared at him, and Ding Yongqiang quickly shrank his head: "Don't glare at me, I'm not wrong! Besides, I'm not the kind of Chaozhou guy who plays the erhu - he takes care of himself, I'm willing to rest
I will help you, so you should thank me!"
Shi Zhijian was speechless, "Then let me thank you first, great Brother Qiang!"
"You're welcome, we are all our own people!" Shaqiang waved his hand, "Also, don't look at me as stupid, in fact I have ideals, and the dock job is just a stopgap measure, I will do it in the future
Big deal man!”
Seeing Shaqiang's seriousness, Shi Zhijian couldn't help but ask: "What big thing are you doing?"
"I don't want to tell you, but I have a career that I yearn for. I didn't dare to think about it before, but recently I met a noble man and he said he would help me. When I go to work, I will definitely envy you!"
Shi Zhijian pouted: "You also have ideals?"
"Of course, you have also said that even salted fish can have ideals, why can't I have ideals?"
Shi Zhijian was speechless. Originally, he wanted to help Shaqiang and arrange for him to work in his factory. It seemed that this guy had already planned it. He didn't know what his so-called high-level ideals were or who the noble people he met were.
A blind guy.
…
Swish, swish, swish!
Shaqiang took a brush and rubbed it hard on the earthen wall a few times, and Shi Zhijian pasted the recruitment poster on it.
Shaqiang took a look at the poster and began to babble again: "To be honest, Ajian, most of these country people are illiterate. I wonder what the use of posting so many posters is?"
"Uh, what did you say?"
"I said these people are illiterate and cannot understand the content above."
Shi Zhijian grabbed Ding Yongqiang's shoulders and shook him: "Tiao, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ding Yongqiang looked innocent, "You didn't even ask!"
"Change the strategy!" Shi Zhijian made a decision immediately, "Silly Qiang, when will these people in the besieged village get together?"
"Of course they share the pork! During festivals, they like to gather in the ancestral hall to share the pork!"
"Good idea!" Shi Zhijian patted Ding Yongqiang on the shoulder: "How much money do you have?"
"Uh, I don't have any money." Ding Yongqiang became alert and shook his head like a rattle.
"Dishonest!" Shi Zhijian stared at him. "I just didn't bring any money, so I'll lend you some first!"
"Don't lie to me, and you must return it to me in the future."
"You still can't trust me?"
"I believe you."
"Okay, how many are there?"
"Only a little."
Ding Yongqiang was forced by Shi Zhijian's gaze to take out fifty yuan from his body.
"anything else!"
"It's really gone!"
Before Ding Yongqiang could finish speaking, Shi Zhijian found another hundred yuan from him.
"It's really gone this time."
"Take off your shoes!"
"it's not good!"
Ding Yongqiang grimaced, took off his shoes, took out one hundred and fifty yuan from his shoes and handed them to Shi Zhijian: "This is my last private money!"
Shi Zhijian patted him: "Trust me, I will lend you three hundred now and I will pay you back three thousand later!"
Silly Qiang curled his lips and murmured in his heart, you are so poor now, no one will believe you!
Shi Zhijian is also helpless. In addition to the 600,000 IOU that Xu Sanshao gave him, he really still has 50,000 to 60,000 in cash on hand.
But Shi Zhijian had already planned. He would use the money to buy a second-hand car equipment transportation team, order work clothes for employees, prepare for the opening of the factory, advertise products, etc. There were many places to spend money.
.
Because of this, Shi Zhijian had to tighten his belt to get by, and now he had to ask Ding Yongqiang to borrow money.
…
There is a farmer's market near Yuen Long, where there are usually many small vendors selling chickens, ducks, fish, meat dogs, and piglets.
Shi Zhijian borrowed money and rushed to the farmer's market immediately. After some bargaining, he carefully selected three fat pigs.
Then he hurried back to Yuen Long Wai Village and found the ancestral hall. Inside the ancestral hall was a crooked tree with a gong hanging on the tree.
Shi Zhijian stepped on the fat pig with one foot, picked up the gong and beat it with one hand, rang the gong with a "dang" sound, and shouted: "Come on, let's divide the pork!"
