Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

"Ouch! That pricked me!"

"Zhang Wei, you fucking hurry up and grab me, or you'll stab your dad to death!"

"Damn it, there's a wasp! Don't mess with it!"

"I'm blanching my butt!"

When Jiang Shaojie and his group approached that meteorite, it wasn't without its challenges.

One minute this pricks my hand, the next minute that pricks my butt.

Jiang Tao watched as a group of little kids screamed and cried from being pricked, and laughed rather unkindly.

Thank goodness I didn't go down!
However, these physical pains were nothing to Jiang Shaojie and his friends, who had grown up in the village.

"You guys be careful, no rush, safety first."

Jiang Tao would occasionally remind the group to be careful.

It took more than half an hour.

After going through many hardships, Jiang Shaojie and his companions finally got close to the meteorite.

"Shaojie, point your phone camera at it so I can confirm!"

Upon seeing a stone emitting a pale golden light appear in the camera's view, Jiang Tao was immediately overjoyed.

"Okay, second uncle!"

With a scratch on his left cheek, Jiang Shaojie pointed the camera at the black stone embedded in the rocks and mud.

This meteorite weighs 8888 grams, nearly 18 kilograms, and even the exposed part is as big as a rice bowl.

The part buried in the soil must be quite large.

No wonder Brother Tongzi valued it at a staggering 1200 million!

"Okay, that's it. Dig it out and bring it up."

After confirming that everything was correct, Jiang Tao gave instructions to his nephew and his group again.

"Alright, Second Uncle! Just a moment, I'll get it done right away!"

"Hey guys, let's dig together!"

"okay!"

"Make some room for me, there's no room left."

“Zhang Zihang, you can move aside. You’re doing the work of two people, and you’re slow at it. When we’re lifting you up later, you’ll have to put in more effort.”

Jiang Shaojie and his fellow young men took the money and really got to work, eagerly starting to dig at the rock.

After another seven or eight minutes, Jiang Shaojie and his group dug an irregularly shaped, dark rock out of the ground.

The young lads were inexperienced and thought the stone looked a bit unusual, but none of them considered it to be a meteorite.

Having completed their mission, Jiang Shaojie and his companions were overjoyed and carefully returned along the same route.

Although some thorns inevitably scratched their clothes and skin, all of them had varying degrees of scratches.

But when I think about the 1000 yuan kickback I just received, this little scratch is nothing!

Soon, the four boys, panting but excited, returned to the mountain path with the "treasure" stone.

"Here you go, Second Uncle! I haven't failed you!"

Jiang Shaojie handed the stone to his second uncle with the pride of a soldier who had completed a task assigned by his superior.

"You guys did a great job, and you've worked hard. Shaojie, why don't you take everyone out for dinner tonight?"

"Singing and getting foot massages are fine, but you bunch of kids better stay away from places like that."

As Jiang Tao spoke with a smile, he took out his phone and transferred another 5000 yuan to Jiang Shaojie.

The system estimates the value of this meteorite at as high as 1200 million.

Jiang Tao was happy and didn't feel bad about spending a little money to treat a bunch of silly boys to a meal.

"Alright, Second Uncle, I've made sure everything's taken care of for them tonight!"

When Jiang Shaojie saw that another 5000 yuan had been deposited into his phone, his face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy.

With the help of my second uncle, my parents' income has increased more than tenfold since they started running the supermarket.

Jiang Shaojie's family's economic situation has greatly improved.

However, his parents were used to a hard life and haven't adjusted their mindset yet.

Even now, I can earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month, and sometimes even more than 100,000 yuan.
However, the couple became slightly more generous to their two sons than before.

Previously, I only had about 100 yuan of pocket money a month, but now it has increased to 500 yuan.

Although 500 yuan is a lot of pocket money for a junior high school student in a rural area.

But the gap between them and children in the city who receive one or two thousand yuan of pocket money a month is still huge.

5000 yuan is an absolute fortune for Jiang Shaojie!

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

Jiang Shaojie's classmates also thanked him, feeling that climbing the mountain today was totally worth it!

Not only did I get to meet my idol and take a photo with him, but I also earned pocket money that I never dared to dream of before!

Unexpectedly, after finishing the business, I was able to go to a restaurant for a big meal!
Jiang Shen is so straightforward in his dealings!
"Alright, alright, you guys go do what you're supposed to do and get lost. I'm not going to bother with a bunch of kids like you."

Jiang Tao smiled and patted his nephew on the back of the head, signaling that they could leave.

"Hehe, we're off then, Second Uncle. By the way, Second Uncle, do my parents know you're back? Are you coming to my house tonight?"

As Jiang Shaojie was leaving, he asked a question with a curious expression.

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and said, "I won't go. I have plans to meet someone tonight. I'll go to the supermarket to see your parents tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Second Uncle, you go ahead with your work. We're off, brothers, let's go!"

After waving goodbye to Jiang Tao with a grin, Jiang Shaojie turned around and led his friends, skipping and hopping down the mountain.

"This thing is worth 1200 million? Tsk tsk, this money is really easy to make!"

"This stone has been lying here for who knows how many years, and it has finally found its destined owner."

Jiang Tao weighed the stone in his hand, then with a thought, he directly stored it in the system's storage space.

Any item marked as special by the intelligence system, or any item that Jiang Tao purchased from the system's shop;
Both of these can be placed directly into the system's storage space.

This is quite convenient.

Jiang Tao used to keep the "Lucky Toad" and "Money Makes Money" items locked in a safe.

Collecting cash every day is a hassle.

Now, all special items can be stored in the system's storage space, which is indeed much more convenient.

Moreover, Jiang Tao completed various system tasks during this period.

The system's inventory already has dozens of slots, providing ample space.

That huge rock only took up one inventory slot.

"It would be even more convenient if we could store non-system items in the space as well."

As Jiang Tao descended the mountain, he admired the scenery while his mind wandered to all sorts of random thoughts.

By the time he came down from the mountain, it was already past 5 p.m.

"boss."

Jia Guilin, who was standing quietly by the car, greeted Jiang Tao respectfully as he came down from the mountain.

"Let's go, Lao Jia, take me home first."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

"Okay, boss!" Jia Guilin replied, then turned and got into the car, starting it and heading towards Jiangjiazhuang as if he knew the way well.

Jia Guilin had visited Jiang Tao's home before and was familiar with the route.

It takes about 19 minutes.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove into Jiangjiazhuang.

"Hey, isn't that President Jiang's car?"

"It really is Mr. Jiang's car! A Mercedes-Benz with a Beijing license plate. Only Mr. Jiang from our Jiang Family Village has that kind of wealth!"

"I heard that General Manager Jiang has recruited a large number of people from the village to work in Beijing, and the benefits he offers are quite good."

"It's not just good, it's exceptionally good! President Jiang even provides them with the five social insurances from Beijing, so they can receive a pension from Beijing when they retire."

"Really? The pension in Beijing must be at least three or four thousand a month, right?"

"Three or four thousand is considered low; some could be as high as seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands!"

"Is it really that much? We work ourselves to the bone for a month and only make four or five thousand, while others can get that much after retirement without doing anything?"

"That must be true! My brother-in-law retired from Beijing, and he now has a monthly pension of over 7000 yuan!"

"The differences between people are truly vast!"

"I wonder if Mr. Jiang is still hiring? I'd do it even if he only pays social security, doesn't pay wages, but provides room and board!"

"Are you stupid?! The salary that General Manager Jiang pays is much higher than the salaries here!"

“Our village has produced such a capable person as General Manager Jiang. It makes me feel proud to chat with people at work.”

"Indeed, now everyone in the surrounding villages knows that our village has produced a capable General Manager Jiang!"

When a group of elderly people at the village entrance saw Jiang Tao's car drive into the village, they immediately started talking about what had happened in the village recently and was related to him.

As we chatted, the conversation turned to the issue of elder care, which is of utmost concern to the elderly.

In rural areas, the basic pension is only 100 yuan with a few yuan in spare change. Even with various government subsidies, it's only about 200 yuan.

It's not even a fraction of the retirement pensions that people in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen receive, which can easily amount to seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan.

The villagers heard that Jiang Tao was recruiting workers in the village and taking them to Beijing, and that he was even paying their social security contributions there.

Everyone envied those who were recruited.

Jiang Tao's standing in everyone's eyes has risen once again.

squeak~
After entering the village, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove for about 100 meters before coming to a smooth stop at the entrance of the alley where Jiang Tao's house was located.

This alley is a bit narrow, and there's an electric tricycle parked in front of my neighbor's house.

After telling Jia Guilin to wait for him in the car, Jiang Tao got out and walked towards his front door.

"Oh! Mr. Jiang, you're back!"

"Is my car in the way? Please wait a moment, I'll move it for you!"

As Jiang Tao passed by his neighbor's house to the west, a woman who looked to be in her forties, dressed simply but neatly, came out of her house.

As the woman saw Jiang Tao, she also noticed the high-end-looking Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked at the entrance of the alley.

She immediately realized that her car was blocking the way and quickly went to push it.

Jiang Tao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Sister-in-law Lihua, there's no need to push. It's alright. I've asked the driver to wait for me in the car."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang, I didn't know you were back."

As Wang Lihua pushed her electric tricycle into her own passageway, she apologized to Jiang Tao with an apologetic expression.

"Sister-in-law Lihua, why are you being so formal with me, we're all neighbors?"

Jiang Tao felt a little uncomfortable hearing his neighbor address him as "General Manager Jiang" and "you" so formally.

"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, you're a big boss now, a big shot, you're different from us."

Wang Lihua looked at Jiang Tao with reverence and respect. It was clear that her respect for Jiang Tao was genuine and not a hypocritical sycophancy.

“Sister-in-law Lihua, what are you saying? How am I any different? I am still me, and you are still my sister-in-law.”

Jiang Tao has always been very polite to the villagers of Jiangjiazhuang and has never thought that he is superior to them now that he has become successful.

"Ahem, Mr. Jiang, you came back by yourself? Didn't Lily and Xiaoxue come back?"

When Wang Lihua saw Jiang Tao return alone, she immediately looked curious.

"Yes, I came back to take care of some things. The mother and daughter are still in the capital."

"Sister-in-law, you're busy. I'll go home to grab something and then I'll be going."

After greeting Wang Lihua with a smile, Jiang Tao walked towards his front door.

"Um, Mr. Jiang..."

When Wang Lihua saw Jiang Tao about to leave, a look of anxiety appeared on her face. After struggling with her thoughts for a moment, she finally called out to him to stop.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is something the matter?"

Jiang Tao stopped and turned to look at Wang Lihua, asking her a question patiently.

"Hey Mr. Jiang, I heard from Secretary Jiang that a farm has opened up over there and they need to hire a lot of workers. Do you think your wife could work there?"

Wang Lihua took a deep breath and hesitantly made her request.

Wang Lihua had also heard about Jiang Tao's recruitment and the salary and benefits offered to the recruits.

The salary is around 5000 yuan a month, and they also pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund in Beijing. Plus, you get one day off per week.

This treatment might not be considered very good in Beijing.

But in a small place like Pingxian, it would be an absolutely god-like job!

Pingxian County has a very weak basic industry; its main industries are various service industries.

The most common jobs people encounter are supermarket clerks, cashiers, shopping mall staff, restaurant servers, and so on.

Or it could be a textile factory or a garment factory.

Moreover, they work for small private companies and small businesses.

Forget about the five social insurances and one housing fund; there aren't even any days off in a month.

The working hours are long, and the salary is mostly only around 2000 to 3000.

The compensation they receive is incomparable to what Jiang Tao's company offers!
Wang Lihua works as a kitchen helper in the back kitchen of a small restaurant in Ping County.

The workday is about 10 hours, and the monthly salary after deducting insurance is only 2300.

After hearing about the salary and benefits offered by Jiang Tao, she was naturally very tempted.

However, this time Jiang Xinguo gave all the recruitment quotas that Jiang Tao had given him to several village committee cadres.
And some of his relatives and friends, as well as his clansmen in the village who were close to Jiang Tao's family.

Wang Lihua was just Jiang Tao's neighbor.

In terms of closeness or distance, it's naturally not her turn.

Today, when Wang Lihua suddenly saw Jiang Tao return in person, she immediately thought about this matter.

Asking won't cost me anything, even if I get rejected.

What if Mr. Jiang agrees to his request out of consideration for being neighbors?

Then I can get a job opportunity with a salary and benefits far exceeding my current job!

If you have an opportunity, seize it; if you don't have one, create it yourself!
Jiang Tao looked at Wang Lihua and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you willing to leave home and work in Beijing?"

"Yes! Yes, I'm willing!"

Wang Lihua nodded eagerly; she was more than willing!

Jiang Tao readily agreed, "Alright then, you can go with the group of people that Secretary Jiang helped me recruit."

With Jiang Tao's current strength, recruiting a few more people wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you, Mr. Jiang! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

After hearing Jiang Tao's accurate answer, Wang Lihua thanked him with a joyful expression. (End of Chapter)
