Chapter 113 Recruiting

Qian Cheng nodded: "Not only that, if you grow it well, the yield will increase, and you can grow even more."

Our company is responsible for receiving the goods, signing the contract, setting the price, and determining the quantity.

I'll buy whatever you grow, no haggling, no outstanding payments, and monthly settlements.

Captain Liu thought for a moment and then asked, "What if there are too many vegetables and you don't accept them?"

Qian Cheng said, "It's clearly stated in the contract that the contract is for the same number of years."

During the contract period, as long as the vegetables meet the standards, we will accept them all.

If you don't trust me, you can ask people in Liaoyang.

Our company has been operating in Liaoyang for two years. When have we ever owed money?

'

Captain Liu glanced at Section Chief Zhou, who nodded.

Captain Liu said okay, then let's sign.

The next day, he visited several more villages. Some were willing, some hesitated, and some shook their heads directly. Qian Cheng wasn't in a hurry; he knew that these things couldn't be rushed.

Farming is a lifelong endeavor for farmers; if they don't trust you, no amount of persuasion will change their minds.

They need to see tangible benefits; once they see others making money, they'll come knocking on their door.

On the third day, they returned to Liu's hut and signed the contract.

Captain Liu killed a chicken and invited them to stay for dinner.

Qian Cheng couldn't refuse, so he stayed.

During the meal, Captain Liu asked Qian Cheng about what he was doing in the provincial capital. Qian Cheng picked out some details and told Captain Liu, who then gave him a thumbs up.

"Manager Qian, you're something else. To come from the countryside and achieve this much is quite remarkable."

Qian Cheng waved his hand and declined: "Captain Liu, I am just a farmer and I know that farming is not easy."

Our cooperation means helping each other.

You grow the vegetables well, we'll sell them, and everyone will make money.

After returning from Yingkou, Qian Cheng told Lao Wang and the others about the situation.

Old Wang calculated that if Yingkou could supply vegetables, they could harvest an extra 30,000 to 40,000 jin of vegetables a day, and the company would not have enough manpower and vehicles.

"We'll recruit a batch before the new year, train them, and use them next year. As for the cars, I'll go to Director Liu and borrow two more."

Old Li said, "It's easy to recruit people, but the key is training them. New recruits don't know anything and just cause trouble."

Qian Cheng thought for a moment and said, "This time, when we recruit people, we should give priority to those from the countryside. City people don't understand farming and can't explain things to farmers. People from the countryside are different; they know everything about farming and can get along with farmers easily."

""

Old Li nodded: "Okay, I'll recruit according to this standard."

Xiao Liu said, "We've rented a warehouse in the west of the city that can hold 300,000 jin of vegetables. We're not returning the one in the east of the city either; we'll keep it for emergencies."

Qian Cheng said, "Okay, we'll use both. If we expand in Yingkou and have more vegetables, we can rent more warehouses if we don't have enough space."

After the meeting, Qian Cheng went to the Commerce Department to borrow a car from Director Liu.

Director Liu readily approved two more vehicles.

Qian Cheng thanked him repeatedly, but Director Liu waved his hand dismissively.

"Xiao Qian, if things can get going in Yingkou, Jinzhou will have to follow suit next year."

The provincial capital now has a population of over three million, which cannot be supplied by just a few surrounding counties. You need to take bigger steps.

Qian Cheng said, "Director Liu, taking too big a step can easily lead to a fall. I'll work on Yingkou for a year first, and once it's settled, then I'll work on Jinzhou."

Director Liu looked at him and said, "Okay, I'm relieved that you can handle it."

When they got home, Nian'en was playing with Zhang Mingxi in the yard.

Seeing him come in, she dropped the ball she was holding, ran over, and hugged his leg.

"Dad! Dad's home!"

Qian Cheng bent down and picked her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her face against his; it was warm and soft.

She seemed to have gained a little weight after being away for three or four days.

"Does Nian'en miss her father?"

"I want to." She nodded, touching his face with her small hand. "Daddy...where are we going?"

"Dad went to take care of some errands, and he'll be back soon."

Nian'en thought for a moment and said, "Baba doesn't bring a nest."

""

Qian Cheng smiled: "I'll take you next time."

Zhang Mingxi walked over and took the bag from his hand: "How's it going in Yingkou?"

"It's alright, we've signed contracts with a few villages. Supply should be available next spring."

Qian Cheng carried Nian En into the house and put her on the playmat. She ran to get a picture book, opened it, and pointed to the pictures on it to show him.

"Dad, cat, meow meow meow."

, 7

"Yes, a cat." He crouched down and watched with her.

Zhang Mingxi brought over a glass of water and sat down next to him: "These past few days since you left, she's asked you every day. She asks me every morning, 'Where's Dad?'"

At lunchtime, I asked, "Where's Dad?"

Before going to bed at night, she asked when her father would be back.

Qian Cheng looked at Nian En, who was turning to a page with a picture of a puppy, barking "woof woof woof." His heart softened terribly.

"Nian'en, come here." Qian Cheng opened his arms.

Nian'en put down her book, ran over, and buried her face in his chest. He held her, and she squirmed in his arms, babbling incoherently.

"Daddy, my darling," she suddenly blurted out.

Qian Cheng was taken aback: "You're being good? How have you been being good?"

Nian'en tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Don't cry."

""

Zhang Mingxi laughed beside her: "She hasn't cried these past few days, she just keeps talking about you."

""

Qian Cheng kissed her little face: "Nian En is such a good girl."

Nian'en was tickled by his kisses and giggled. After she finished laughing, she kissed him back, leaving his face covered in saliva. He didn't wipe it off and just let her kiss him.

After Nian'en went to sleep that night, Qian Cheng sat in the living room reading documents.

Contracts from Yingkou, reports from Liaoyang, a list of newly signed clients in the provincial capital—a whole host of things awaited his review.

Zhang Mingxi came out from the inner room and sat down next to him: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"Go to sleep after you've finished reading this," Qian Cheng said without looking up.

Zhang Mingxi didn't say anything more. She leaned on his shoulder and sat quietly. After a while, she suddenly said, "Honey, you may be busy, but don't ruin your health."

""

Qian Cheng put down the documents and took her hand: "I know, don't worry."

"I'm not trying to stop you from working, I know company matters are important, but you also need to take care of your health and not stay up late all the time."

""

Qian Cheng nodded: "Okay, I won't stay up late."

The next morning, when Qian Cheng arrived at the company, Lao Li was already waiting for him in the conference room.

There was a stack of application forms on the table; they were all from people applying for jobs.

"Xiao Qian, look, these are all chosen according to your requirements. They are from the countryside, twenty people in total."

Qian Cheng flipped through the forms; some were from northern Liaoning, some from southern Liaoning, and two were from Yingkou. He put the application forms down.

Each one is a face.

I interviewed people all morning and selected fifteen.

They all came from rural areas; some had been production team leaders, some had worked in communes, and some were just ordinary commune members.

He knows all about farming and is an honest person.

Qian Cheng held a meeting for them, explaining the company's rules, how to deal with farmers, and the situation in Yingkou.

"You all come from the countryside, so you know what farmers think."

They are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of not being able to sell what they grow.

Go down there and make sure you explain the terms and the contract clearly so they can feel at ease.

Be polite and don't put on airs. Farmers recognize people but not words. If you have a good attitude, they will trust you. If you have a bad attitude, no amount of persuasion will work.
