Chapter 08: Recruitment

"Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, everything is complete. I've just laid it out for the past two days, and you see, there's nothing missing! Qi Ping held up his laptop to show his parents his new house, although his parents had just learned the most basic computer operations, but it was enough for video chatting.

"This house is good, I like it a lot, you be careful outside, it's not easy to go out alone. It's so far away in the United States, keep an eye on everything. Although I am very happy that my youngest son is out now, my mother is worried, even if I know that my youngest son is now a rich man, but having money does not mean that I can completely let it go.

"You and Dad hurry up and get the visa, I can't rely on the boss. I told him to come directly when the time came, and he was always pushing the time. I don't have time to work for a while, and I don't plan to come over to see my brother's home now. Qi Ping is a little dissatisfied with his brother, in fact, his brother doesn't care, the key is that his parents come to see him to rest assured.

"You think your brother is like you, and it's a good thing that you gave him a sum of money to pay off the mortgage, but you still have to work, and you can't let Benben have no belongings." Yu Lan laughed, it was a good thing that her youngest son was out, and she was even happier that her two sons had a good relationship and had been helping each other; Just like this time, the youngest son became rich, and he was immediately able to think about helping his brother reduce his burden.

"Don't rush your boss, he's already on annual leave. He's working for people, not as free as you are your own boss. If you take care of someone's job, you have to be managed, and when the time comes, we will go with him. None of us have ever been on a plane, so let's rest assured that we will go with your boss. Qi Weihui, who had been sitting on the side with a smile, said with a smile, although he really wanted to go to see his younger son immediately, he didn't want to bring too much trouble to his eldest son; Wait a minute, it will be good to wait until the eldest son has a convenient time.

After chatting with his parents for a while, Qi Ping also needs to start getting busy; In the past two days, although I was busy buying a car and decorating a new house, the work of the forest farm still did not fall. After all, the money in my pocket is relatively limited now, and I can't be satisfied with a forest farm, anyway, I definitely can't sit and eat empty, which is not in line with Qi Ping's character, and I am sorry for the magical inheritance I get.

Some recruitment information has been released on the Internet, and the production and construction plan of the forest farm has begun.

In fact, there is jade in the United States, but Lao Mei does not particularly like this gemstone; Although Qi Ping still has three top-grade jade stones in his hand, they are the eyes of the formation arrangement, and of course they need high-quality jade. As for the other parts, then it is just some relatively ordinary jade, which is also the reason why Qi Ping chose to auction a few smaller pieces of jade in the first place, and also because of lack of money, which is a matter of no choice, and always needs some starting capital.

Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to recruit workers and also to purchase a batch of jade of average quality, which are Qiping's current work.

"Chinese style, maybe you don't know this. But I hope that the logo you have designed will satisfy me and look at the image of this place; With white hair and white beard, full of ancient style, this is the most typical image of Chinese immortals. I believe in your ability and you can do it. "Qi Ping now needs to build the gate of the forest farm, of course, he chose the shape of a classic immortal guiding the way; As for the aesthetics of Lao Mei and the like, I just want to do it.

Just like the signboard of the forest farm is not only the image of the old fairy, the words are 'fairyland pasture', but also taking into account the feelings of Lao Mei, and a few small words also prove that Lao Mei's translation is still good.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and there is an eye-catching symbol, which is of course more pleasing to the eye.

Now Qi Ping wants to start some farm business first, because the forest farm really needs a long cycle, and it is also because his capital is limited. So there is no way, what is needed most now is to make a little money, and it needs to expand slowly. A million dollars is not much, but it is not a small amount.

The original forest farm owner used this as a recreational forest farm, so a lot of work here needs to be restarted; For example, some machinery and equipment, which need to be purchased by themselves.

The popularity of agricultural mechanization in the United States is high, so the current Qiping is also a little frowned; The total value of agricultural machinery such as combines, four-wheel drive tractors, wind drills, agricultural rail trailers, lawn balers, and seeders is about $200,000, which is a small number. Although a lot of equipment can be bought second-hand, the quality may not be very good.

In fact, the U.S. government implements quite preferential policies for farmers. The government does not give loans for the purchase of land, but it does give loans for the purchase of agricultural machinery, etc., and the interest rate is actually relatively low. If you are willing to plant corn and soybeans, the government encourages you to buy insurance first, and in case of natural disasters, you can get a claim. There is no tax on any supplies purchased on the farm, and if the farm needs to lay underground water pipes, it can apply to the government, and the farmer pays up to half of the money, and the government is also responsible for the installation free of charge.

Farm work is not tiring, it is just too much to live, endlessly. The heavy and tiring work on American farms is all done by machines; buy tools, build greenhouses, etc.; If there is a lot of land on the farm, it is mainly planted in the open air, and the main farm work for growing vegetables is planting seedlings, weeding, and harvesting vegetables.

In fact, the current Qiping just needs some skilled hands, although he grew up in the countryside and knows some farm work, but this is really not very understanding, not to mention the management of modern large-scale farms and the like. And recruiting people is not a simple matter, although the farm package food and housing, the salary is also a lot, but young people dislike to work under the sun, little interest, so generally some of the older middle-aged and elderly.

Qi Ping knows very well that if he doesn't understand English, has no technology, and doesn't have a license, no matter how good the vegetables are, he won't dare to sell them.

Although the job posting was indeed sent out, it was also received some consultation information; But Qi Ping was not satisfied, and now it seemed that his forest farm still needed more fame. It's not just the boss who picks the employees, but the boss when there are many employees.

Things on this side of the forest farm are still poor, and if you come here now, you will definitely need to do a lot of things, and many employees are actually reluctant to come. The most bullshitty reason is that some proud Americans are unwilling to come to work on Chinese farms, what a rag reason!

"Yes, I'm from China. The farm hasn't started yet, so there must be a lot of things to do at this time. What I need is a skilled hand, preferably with experience working on an American farm. The equipment must be complete, and it is also inclusive of food and accommodation; I will never cheat you on the salary, the weekly salary is 300 US dollars, which is not less in the United States; Of course, if you can manage the affairs of the farm, the supervisor's salary will definitely be higher, and there will be some benefits such as year-end bonuses. Qi Ping patiently explained some of his recruitment requirements, there are many Chinese in the United States, and there are more Chinese workers who are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, which is also a good thing.

"Four people, I'm not too many. The farm is now more than 100 acres, and I don't care what kind of farming is idle or not, as long as you do a good job here, I will hire you all year round. "Qi Ping threw out a big killer, because many of the farms in the United States are in the slack and do not need helpers; But this problem naturally does not exist on his farm, which is naturally a huge attraction for farm workers, and a stable job is really great.

"Well, tomorrow you can come to Ramona and have a look, yes, I'll pick you up. If the conditions are right, we will sign a contract or something, and I have just arrived and have not come here, so I am not familiar with the life here, so I still feel relieved by myself. Qi Ping is in a very good mood, the person on the other end of the phone is Chinese, who came to the United States a few years ago, and has been working on the farm; It's nice to have experience and some insight.

It's time to start recruiting, and Qi Ping now just thinks it's something to look forward to; Although the recruitment matter seems to be a bit twists and turns, as long as the right person is found, then Qi Ping will of course feel very satisfied.

"Xiao Qi, your farm is indeed in a good environment. But I haven't grown vegetables here before, so if I do it from scratch, I will not see any effect in a short period of time. And the equipment here is not complete, and a lot of things have to be bought from scratch. "The one who came over was Huang Siqing, a middle-aged man in his fifties, and it can be proved from this name that he is about the same age as Qi Ping's father.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, as long as the farm needs me, I will definitely not be stingy, and I will definitely not let you dig the ground with a hoe. You give me an order, and I'll make up the equipment. Looking at this dark-skinned middle-aged man, Qi Ping still felt very good.

"Well, my cousin and I will bring people here at any time. The farmer we used to work for wasn't a thing, we were all undocumented, so he was always exploiting us. You really don't have anything to say about the conditions on your side, I think you're not bad, you can come over at any time. Huang Siqing was happy, this job may be really good, as long as this young man can always stick to the farm, then it will definitely be better than the farm he is working on now.

"Come tomorrow, and I'll count your wages for the next two days. When the time comes, we will go buy equipment together, and you will also settle your home. Qi Ping laughed, it's done!

As for the extra two days' wages, it's really not a problem; Convenience with others is also convenience for himself, after all, Qi Ping hopes that everyone can cooperate tacitly together, so he doesn't care much about these things.
