I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 277 doesn't care about this; let's just consider it doing good deeds.

"Actually, I've considered this approach as well," Fang Qingye said.

“There are only three or four hundred poplar trees, each worth about fifty or sixty yuan. The total of twenty or thirty thousand yuan is nothing to me. But the problem is that they are not the only ones who have planted poplar trees on this land. Once this precedent is set, other households that have already received compensation may come and cause trouble, which will make things more complicated.”

"In addition to the woodland, there are also some agricultural facilities land that are involved in this issue. The problem is complicated and makes the office even more passive."

Upon hearing Fang Qingye's explanation, Bai Ou sighed softly and said nothing more.

"How about this, I'll ask Grandpa again tomorrow if he can think of any other way to help the farmers recover some of their losses. To be honest, it's not easy for any of them," Fang Qingye said after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm... Grandpa might have a way."

The next morning, Fang Qingye got up, ate breakfast on the street, and drove to the nursery. When she saw her grandfather, she told him about what had happened the day before and her conversation with Bai Ou that evening.

Fang Guisheng was sitting on the porch, sharpening his sickle with a whetstone. Hearing Fang Qingye's words, he sighed deeply: "This is really difficult. What you said makes sense. It might cause even more trouble. Besides, our nursery doesn't need fast-growing poplars unless we buy them ourselves. If we give them away for free, those bosses would still be happy to take them."

shit
Fang Qingye thought about it and realized that this was the only way.

"Alright then, Grandpa, you contact the bosses you're on good terms with, and I'll pay for them. How much do you think one tree would cost as a gift?"

"50 yuan is the most."

"Then it'll be 50 yuan a tree, let the owner dig it up himself," Fang Qingye decided.

“I have a good relationship with Mr. Wu from Liulin Town, so I’ll let him take advantage of this.” Fang Guisheng stood up with a smile.

In the past, he definitely would have disagreed.

Why?

But now that his grandson is rich, he doesn't care about this anymore. He should just do good deeds and accumulate merit.
Fang Guisheng called Boss Wu, who, upon hearing about this good news, immediately said he would rush to the county town to talk to that family.

"Brother Fang, don't worry, I've handled this matter perfectly, and I guarantee there won't be any mistakes," Boss Wu assured him over the phone.

"Old Wu, I'm giving you hundreds of poplar trees for free. You should also get more crape myrtle saplings from me this year," Fang Guisheng said.

"Alright, alright, I can't just take advantage of you for nothing, right? I'll do as you say and buy more! But I need a discount for bulk orders!"

"You old Wu, you're unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss!"

"Haha, it's business."

Grandpa and that boss surnamed Wu will handle this matter, so Fang Qingye won't have to worry about it anymore; she can just pay for it herself.

We finally got our hands on 300 acres of land.

Fang Qingye was busy with the development of Nanxin Lake, while also keeping an eye on things in Shanghai.

He needs to hire employees.

During the spring recruitment season this year, he recruited several finance majors for the company. Putting aside their business skills, their diplomas were all mediocre, just ordinary undergraduate degrees. The only one, Qin Jing, from the 985 East China Normal University, was "tricked" into joining.

But this time the recruitment is different; a master's degree is the minimum requirement, and a doctorate is preferred.

The company is not recruiting finance professionals, but rather senior talents in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and finance to prepare talent for the newly established company.

In the early stages of the securities market, one can work alone, but as more funds are invested, a strong team is needed.

Of course, it's not about traditional stock or futures trading; if you're going to get involved, you should go for quantitative investing, which is very popular in China.

Talent is the key.

She skipped other universities and headed straight for Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one of the top universities in China, as well as her alma mater, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Li Li has been busy with this recently.

Having learned from her experience recruiting last spring, she was familiar with the routine this time. Today, she took the subway to Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Xuhui campus with various photocopies of the company's business license and other documents.

As instructed by the boss, a recruitment presentation needs to be held at Jiaotong University, and the boss needs to attend in person. I am now going to the Student Employment Service and Career Development Center of Jiaotong University to make contact and make arrangements.

Today she specially wore a dark blue office lady suit, carrying a briefcase, and her original ponytail was tied up at the back of her head, making her look more mature and formal, like the CFO of a large company.

But as soon as she entered the gates of Jiaotong University and looked at the solemn buildings and the students coming and going, she felt a sense of inferiority for no reason.

There was no way around it; her background at a third-tier private university seemed to be ingrained in her very being.

She could only silently encourage herself.

Come on!

I'm not here for a job interview!
I'm here to hire!

After asking a passing student, Li Licai arrived at the Jiaotong University Student Employment Service and Career Development Center located in the Haoran High-Tech Building.

"Why hasn't Zhang Xuhao arrived yet?" Li Li glanced at her watch; ten minutes had passed since the agreed time!

In order to successfully negotiate the recruitment event with the staff of the Jiaotong University Employment Center, Li Li received a call from Fang Qingye who said that Ele.me CEO Zhang Xuhao would assist him.

Zhang Xuhao was a graduate student at Jiaotong University, so having his help made things much safer.

After waiting a while longer and still not seeing Zhang Xuhao, Li Li decided not to wait any longer and went to negotiate herself. When she entered the employment center office, the staff inside were all busy. There were also a few people dressed similarly to her, who seemed to be HR personnel from some company, contacting Jiaotong University about recruitment.

Li Li stood there for a while without anyone paying attention to her, so she mustered up her courage and walked towards the female staff member who was sitting at the computer, and said:
"Hello, I am the CHO of Tuofang Technology Trade & Investment Co., Ltd. Our company would like to hold a special recruitment presentation at your university. May I ask what the procedures are?"

"CHO? Chief Human Resources Officer?!" The staff member looked up at Li Li, quite skeptical. So young and already a CHO?

"Yes, this is my business card." Li Li quickly took out a business card, glanced at it herself, and then handed it to the other person.

Don't take the wrong one; you also have the CFO's business card.

The boss said that in order to make this recruitment successful, you will also serve as the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO).

The female staff member glanced at it and handed it back to the other person, asking if they had brought the company documents.

"Bring it."

Li Li hurriedly took out a stack of documents from her briefcase and handed them to the other party; they were mostly photocopies.

Business license, tax registration certificate, company profile, job postings, etc.

"What? Your company only has six people, and you're already recruiting several PhDs and Master's degree holders?! What are you trying to fool?! No way, no way!"

As she spoke, the female staff member returned a stack of documents to Li Li.

"Go to the vocational school next door, maybe you can scam a few people there."

what? !

They actually called us a scam company!

Don't you know our company has already invested in several companies? Including Ele.me, which is famous at your university!
Li Li was furious. Just as she was about to argue, she saw Zhang Xuhao rush in. In her anger, she stopped addressing him by his title.

"Zhang Xuhao, explain to them whether Tuofang Technology is a fraudulent company or not!"
