Chapter 410: Troubles from Unemployment
In addition to planting, these 500 people are also responsible for the subsequent harvesting and transportation within the planting base. They need to pick the ripe vegetables and load them separately onto the trucks that come to the vegetable planting center to pull the goods. Add this work to the mix, and the burden on these people is even greater.
He Li recruited these farmers in charge of planting very quickly, but after she recruited, problems followed. The root cause of the matter has to start with Lai Xiaohu's land acquisition.
In the past, Xinzhen was very poor, but after all, there are still large areas of farmland to plant, and in the past, people in Xinzhen could go out to work, and those who didn't want to go out could stay at home and farm. However, after all, only a few people have left, and they are mainly young people and strong laborers, and on the contrary, it is the majority who are left.
But now, with Lai Xiaohu expropriating all the farmland in Xin Town, a large number of people who used to make a living from farming have lost their jobs. There are tens of thousands of people engaged in planting farmland in Xin Town, and so many people are unemployed all of a sudden, and there is nothing to do, and coming at any time will inevitably bring huge trouble.
People are most likely to cause chaos when they have nothing to do, so in order to ensure the stability of Xinzhen, Wu Ou has been negotiating with He Li to arrange for these people to work in Lejia Supermarket as much as possible. However, with the current demand of Lejia Supermarket, when Heli recruited these 500 people, there was no shortage of labor for the time being.
With so many unemployed people, who doesn't want to find a job after they are unemployed? Therefore, when the news of the recruitment of Lejia Supermarket came, countless people went to apply for the job, and even these people came collectively in the village. But in the end, he only wanted the ones he looked the strongest physically. That's five hundred. And the rest of them all went back helplessly.
If the employment problem cannot be solved, sooner or later there will be chaos. For now, Xin Zhen is relatively calm, because the subsidy Lai Xiaohu gave before can make everyone live in peace for a while. But even so. According to Wu Ou, someone has now found the town government and asked the town to help solve the work problem.
Fortunately, these people didn't go to Heli or Lejia supermarket. But in Lai Xiaohu, the problem in their village is more serious. People from other villages all went to the town, and found the town government, Wu Ou. And Lai Xiaohu, their village actually went to find Dong Cuiyun.
The land in Xinzhen was expropriated by Lai Xiaohu, which everyone knows. And people from other villages may think that they have nothing to do with Lai Xiaohu and their family, so they are not embarrassed to go directly to Lai Xiaohu and choose to go to the town government. However, the people in their village were not so worried, and they walked two steps to Lai Xiaohu's house. And usually, the neighbors are more casual. So after Heli's recruitment was over, a large number of villagers in the village who were not recruited found Dong Cuiyun.
It is known that the land was levied by Dong Cuiyun's son Lai Xiaohu, and they all know that Lai Xiaohu is now the big boss. So these people also flocked to Lai's house.
If one or two people find Dong Cuiyun here. She might also tell Lai Xiaohu to arrange a job for these people, but when she saw that hundreds of people in the village had found this place, even Dong Cuiyun was stunned.
With so many people, she didn't dare to make the decision to promise their work easily, and Dong Cuiyun didn't know how to deal with it at that time. Fortunately, Zhang Xiuying was on the side. After seeing this scene, he hurriedly interjected and sent these people away.
After everyone left, Zhang Xiuying asked Dong Cuiyun to quickly call Lai Xiaohu to tell him what happened here. Then Dong Cuiyun called Lai Xiaohu.
Originally, Lai Xiaohu was planning to come back at that time, and happened to receive a call from Dong Cuiyun, although it was not a particularly urgent matter, but Lai Xiaohu rushed back directly in order not to trouble Dong Cuiyun.
When Lai Xiaohu went back, he and Li also followed Lai Xiaohu's house. He Li has also been to Lai Xiaohu's house a few times these days when he was in Xinzhen.
When He Li went to Lai Xiaohu's house for the first time, Lai Xiaohu brought her over. At that time, Lai Xiaohu thought that He Li was running around in Xinzhen all day long, especially when he often passed by Lai Xiaohu's door and their house, Lai Xiaohu was a little embarrassed to think that he would not take He Li home as a guest. So before Lai Xiaohu left, he specially brought He Li to the house. Then let Dong Cuiyun entertain her.
Later, after Lai Xiaohu left, He Li also went to Lai Xiaohu's house a few times when he passed by here. Now He Li and Dong Cuiyun and Zhang Xiuying are also relatively familiar.
"Little Tiger. You're back. Seeing that Lai Xiaohu was back, Dong Cuiyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in the past two days, Dong Cuiyun had hardly rested well for those people in the village who came to arrange work, and now that Lai Xiaohu is back, he finally doesn't have to continue to worry.
Lai Xiaohu took He Li in, and then asked Dong Cuiyun, "Mom, are there many people coming?" ”
"Many, almost a hundred. Some of these people came alone, and some came together in a group. Hearing this, Dong Cuiyun hurriedly said.
"Then you didn't promise them, did you?" Then Lai Xiaohu continued to ask. What Lai Xiaohu is most worried about is that Dong Cuiyun relented for a while and agreed to these people, in that case, Lai Xiaohu can't let his mother break her promise in the village, right?
"No, I didn't know what to do at the time, but fortunately, your aunt reacted flexibly and helped me cope with the past." Speaking of this, Dong Cuiyun was also a bit of a fluke. If it weren't for Zhang Xiuying's presence at the time to help, Dong Cuiyun later thought about it, according to her situation at that time, it was really possible to agree to come down after the worst, and that would really make it difficult for Lai Xiaohu.
"It's good if you don't have it." Lai Xiaohu himself was also relieved. As long as Dong Cuiyun didn't agree to these people, then this matter would be easy to handle. If Dong Cuiyun accidentally agreed, then Lai Xiaohu could only reluctantly arrange a job for these people in order to prevent his mother from breaking his promise in the village.
If these people still have the strength to work for a long time and not slip their heads, it doesn't matter if Lai Xiaohu arranges a job for these people. Anyway, he may continue to let He Li recruit in the future, and when the time comes, as those tens of thousands of acres of farmland begin to be planted, there will be more people in need. As long as these people are qualified. Now, it's perfectly fine to recruit them for a job, wait a few months, and then transfer them to the farmland. It's a big deal to give a few months' salary in vain.
However, Lai Xiaohu is afraid that some people are not suitable for work at all. For example, some people will be old next year or will not be able to do heavy work due to poor health, isn't it a pure waste of money for you to recruit these people? And there are some people who are more slippery, and recruiting them will be even more problematic.
And the most serious thing is that this can have a diffusion effect. Once Lai Xiaohu arranges employment for the people in his village, then there are still so many villages in Xin Town. What will the people in those villages think? They are all from Xinzhen, so they can't be so favoritism, right? At that time, it is estimated that these people will either go to the town or go to Lai Xiaohu's house to make trouble.
As long as Dong Cuiyun didn't agree, then Lai Xiaohu could slowly solve the matter. After dinner in the evening, Lai Xiaohu sent Heli away, and then found the village party secretary.
If there was no acquiescence or promotion behind the village party secretary, Lai Xiaohu would not believe it at all. And after Lai Xiaohu came to the door to find out the matter, the other party also reluctantly admitted it, "Xiaohu." I can't help it. Those people came to me at that time and said that I wanted me to arrange jobs for them, but you said that I was just a small village party secretary, where did I go to find a job for them? In the end, it's not that there is no way to think that there must be a shortage of people in such a big factory as yours, so let them try it at you. But I didn't expect so many people to go after the last day. At first, there were only a few people who found me here. Maybe everyone had faith in you, so they all ran to your house. After speaking, the village party secretary showed a wry smile.
Although he knew that the other party was suspected of shirking responsibility, Lai Xiaohu couldn't say anything. You can't blame the other party for not pushing the villagers to you. In that case, it will not affect you well.
After the last day, Lai Xiaohu said: "You let those people find our house." But it's useless to go. I can't give them a job now. ”
"Not? How is it possible that your planting base is as large as 500 people? The other party asked in disbelief.
"The planting base is 50,000 acres, but we will only plant 1,000 acres of it in the early stage. Recruiting 500 people on 1,000 acres of land is already a lot. You can't keep looking for someone to let a few people take care of an acre of land, right? Lai Xiaohu said helplessly.
"And after that? You don't want people anymore? The other party did not give up and continued to ask.
"Yes, of course." Lai Xiaohu directly admitted this, "But at least it will take a few months." Now that these people have come up, I can't afford to spend money for nothing, right? And even if it is time to recruit people, it will be recruited by our company, and I can give everyone in our village a chance to interview, but I don't dare to pack a ticket if I can get an interview. "Lai Xiaohu said it here in advance. At that time, some people in the province complained about themselves because they were not hired.
After listening to Lai Xiaohu's words, the other party immediately understood what he meant, and he knew that Lai Xiaohu was picking employees. Not everybody wants it. He can understand Lai Xiaohu's thoughts, after all, you can't be too emotional when opening a company, otherwise you will recruit a lot of people who don't work to go in, and the whole company will be doomed. But as the village party secretary, he also had to think more about the villagers in his village.
"It's all neighbors, you can't watch everyone live then, right?" The village party secretary said with a sad face.
In this regard, Lai Xiaohu sneered in his heart. This time, Lai Xiaohu gave enough compensation for the land acquisition, and there was rent every year in the future. Although the rent is not high, it is enough for a large family to live for a year in a downgraded and backward township like Xinzhen, and there is a surplus.
However, Lai Xiaohu couldn't say this on the face, so after thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu turned to say: "How can you not live?" At that time, as long as the village has the strength and willingness to work, they will basically be able to enter my company. As for the others, although they can't get in, they can do something else. For example, opening a restaurant or a breakfast shop, a supermarket or something. In the future, I plan to build a large office building here, and then there will be more people working here, and the demand for various kinds will naturally increase, which is a business opportunity to survive. ”
Anyway, this matter, Lai Xiaohu just kept grinding with the branch secretary, and the two of them talked together for a full two hours, and when Lai Xiaohu left, the two seemed to have reached a company and solved the employment of other people in the village, but in fact, Lai Xiaohu didn't agree to anything. And what he said also has a lot of room for maneuver. When the time comes, no one will be able to find his head.
Lai Xiaohu left with confidence, and the village party secretary also spread the word that night asking everyone not to go to Lai Xiaohu again. He said that there will be a recruitment in Lejia Supermarket in a few months, and everyone can go for an interview at that time. But whether you can get through it or not depends on your ability.
It's all about ability, in fact, it's the easiest thing to block everyone's mouth, if you don't recruit it, it's your ability, no one should complain.
After going back, Lai Xiaohu told Dong Cuiyun about this matter and asked her not to worry about it anymore. After thinking about it, Lai Xiaohu told Dong Cuiyun: "And Mom, in the future, if someone finds you here, you will tell them directly about my affairs, you have never asked about me, and you can't be the master." If they don't believe me, just let them come to me. ”
"That's good." Dong Cuiyun nodded in agreement. To be honest, she didn't want to care about these things, she used to occasionally work in the field when her family still had farmland, but this time after Lai Xiaohu expropriated all the farmland. She and Zhang Xiuying occasionally went out and went around together, and the two of them watched TV and talked at home. She and Zhang Xiuying are now waiting in their hearts for when Lai Xiaohu is good and Zhang Ying wants a child, then the two of them can take care of the child at home.
However, Dong Cuiyun also knew that Lai Xiaohu and Zhang Ying were busy with their careers now, so even if they thought so. She didn't say it to Lai Xiaohu either.
In the evening, Lai Xiaohu rested at home for the night. Early the next morning, he received a call from Wu Ou, saying that he was asking him to go to the town government. After eating, Lai Xiaohu went directly to Wu Ou.
"What's wrong with Mayor Wu? So anxious to find me? After arriving, Lai Xiaohu asked Wu Ou.
"What else could be going on, I guess you've heard about the villagers below who have recently come to town to ask for a solution. No, these people came again yesterday, and I was also troubled and couldn't help it, so I found you. After Wu Ou finished speaking, he looked at Lai Xiaohu and waited for his reaction.
Only then did Lai Xiaohu understand that his feelings were still for this matter. The village party secretary is worried about the affairs of the village. And Wu Ou is worried about the things in the town. The relative Wu Ou is under more pressure than them, because today's situation is caused by Wu Ou. If this caused any trouble, Wu Ou would be the first to be unlucky.
From the very beginning, Wu Ou realized that after the land acquisition, a large number of people would not be able to find employment. At the beginning, in order not to increase pressure on Lai Xiaohu or scare Lai Xiaohu away, Wu Ou did not ask Lai Xiaohu this question. However, after waiting for the land acquisition, Wu Ou began to urge He Li to recruit, but He Li resisted Wu Ou's request to recruit more people at that time, and only recruited 500 people before stopping.
Heli is a woman, and Wu Ou can't keep forcing her, so he didn't continue to urge her later. However, he turned his attention to Lai Xiaohu, and this time he heard that Lai Xiaohu was back, so he called Lai Xiaohu over as soon as possible.
"This," Lai Xiaohu pondered for a while and said, "Recruit, you must still recruit people." Where is there enough for 500,000 acres of farmland? ”
"Okay, just recruit people." As soon as Lai Xiaohu said this, Wu Ou immediately became excited.
"It's just that," Lai Xiaohu said again: "There is no problem in recruiting." But I can't ask for everyone. Some people are obviously a little old or in poor health, or they are too slippery, so I can't do it, can I? At that time, our company will organize a large-scale job fair, and if you are selected, you will work in Lejia supermarket, and if you are not selected because you are not qualified, then you will not say anything at that time. ”
Lai Xiaohu said this, Wu Ou really couldn't say anything, hesitated for a while and nodded.
A set of rhetoric with Wu Ou is basically the same as the rhetoric between him and the branch secretary last night, and after the two of them chatted about recruitment for a while, they slowly talked about the progress of the opening of Lejia Supermarket.
"By the way, I wonder when your new store will open?" Wu Ou asked Lai Xiaohu.
"It's going to take another week." Lai Xiaohu said: "Now these new stores have basically begun to make the most post-opening preparations, and in a few days we will carry out a two-day commissioning, and when the commissioning is over, it will be officially opened." ”
"By the way, our company's advertisements have begun to be broadcast on a wide range of TV stations and newspapers across the country and various localities, and Mayor Wu can take a look at it when he has time." Then Lai Xiaohu said with a smile.
"Really?" When Wu Ou heard this, he directly took out the newspaper that the staff had just sent to him this morning. Wu Ou took several newspapers in his hand, and after turning the back of the newspapers over, Wu Ou saw the advertisement of Lejia Supermarket at a glance.
It was the front page of a national newspaper, and there was a special box to the right of the headline, which was the news of the Roca supermarket. A large picture, marked with 116 new stores opening at the same time, and a large text on the right.
This is an advertisement, because Lai Xiaohu spent money for it. However, if an uninformed person sees this advertisement, it is likely to be regarded as news. Because the format of this ad is exactly the same as that of a regular news event, even the text is in the style of simulating a news interview. The opening sentence of this reporter recently learned how about Lejia supermarket? Then there was a lot of seemingly news introductions, and the most obvious thing was that the newspaper reporter interviewed the news, and the things that Lejia Supermarket wanted to promote were told out.
I have to say that the effect and creativity of this advertisement are very good, and it is not in vain that Lai Xiaohu spent so much advertising money.
After reading the text of the entire advertisement in one go, Wu Ou looked at Lai Xiaohu for a few seconds and said slowly: "Spent a lot of money on advertising, right?" It seems that Wu Ou in front of Lai Xiaohu is an understanding person. (To be continued......)
