243: Retreat is advance
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
There is no such thing as 100% in the world.
If you are sixty percent sure, you can do it, and Lin Yao judged that the success rate of such a treatment should not be lower than sixty percent.
After making a decision, Lin Yao drove to Dongxiang Village.
A village, with thousands of people, must have village elders who are highly respected and can speak on behalf of others.
This kind of person is either of high seniority, or has good popularity, or does things properly, and is like a leader in the local area.
Lin Yao is going to talk to these people, and after talking to these people, there is no need to explain to the villagers one by one, after all, Lin Yao represents a quarry, and the villagers may not listen to his words.
"Manager Xiao, do you know who is better at talking in Dongxiang Village?"
Seeing that Dongxiang Village was about to arrive, Lin Yao asked the manager surnamed Xiao of the quarry.
Manager Xiao has been in charge of the quarry, and it is indispensable to deal with the people of Dongxiang Village, and after hearing the voice, he said: "The last time the people from Dongxiang Village came to smash the machine, it was a person named Niu Xun who led them here. ”
"Okay, let's go to Niu's house and meet Old Man Niu."
Lin Yao opened his mouth and looked at the farmland outside the window.
The farmland on both sides of the road is the industry of Dongxiang Village, and it is not the farmer who grows vegetables but the farmer.
Hong Kong Island is a small island with a large population, and there is not enough local vegetables to eat, and 70 percent of it depends on exports from the mainland.
The remaining 30 percent was contracted by the peasants in the countryside.
Dongxiang Village mainly grows spinach and celery, two vegetables are the pillar industries of the village, and vegetable sellers will come to harvest them at regular times.
There is no problem with growing vegetables, food and clothing, and there is no need to think about making a fortune.
Dongxiang Village is still relatively poor in general, and most of the families are old houses, and only a few live in two-story houses.
"Lao Niu's house has arrived."
The car stopped in front of a two-story small building with a yard, Manager Xiao pointed to the small building and said: "Old man Niu has four sons and three daughters, the family lives here, Niu Xun is the eldest in the family, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-three this year, his wife is a local of the island, and her personality is a little hot." ”
"What about the remaining three sons? Married? ”
Lin Yao asked.
Manager Xiao thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's not clear, there shouldn't be." ”
All four sons are getting married, and it is obviously not appropriate to live in the same house.
It is likely that among the four sons of Mr. Niu, only the eldest has started a family, and the others have not yet married.
There are two reasons not to get married.
One is that the three sons of Lao Niu's family are unmarried, and the other is that the family has no money, and they need a house to get married, and Lao Niu's family can't prepare it.
"Mom, Dumb drank my brother's milk powder!"
"You little bastard, milk powder is so expensive, how old are you, and you still rob your brother of milk powder to drink!"
"Mom, my brother drank my ink first!"
"Oops, who made you drink ink, look at your face all over it, I'm really angry!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin Yao heard the sound of an argument.
I saw a table in the courtyard, three children sitting on chairs, and not far away, a middle-aged woman squatting on the ground washing clothes, was wiping the ink from a child's mouth with a rag.
"Who are you looking for?"
Seeing Lin Yao and the three of them coming in, the middle-aged woman frowned and asked.
Lin Yao walked in front and looked at the yard, and found that the yard was very messy, with all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up everywhere, obviously the hostess was not a person who could handle housework.
"Is Mr. Niu here?"
Lin Yao retracted his gaze and looked at the middle-aged woman.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged woman had a mean look on her face, and she was not very welcoming to the three Lin Yao.
Lin Yao replied, "We are from the quarry, and we have something to discuss with the old man." ”
As soon as she heard that it was a quarryman, the middle-aged woman didn't have a good face, her face was longer than a horse's face, and she said with disgust: "What is there to talk about, since you started quarrying in the mountain, everything in the village has begun to go wrong, I think you should move the quarry as soon as possible." ”
Lin Yao replied with a smile: "You can't say that, if there is a problem, we will solve it, but there is no problem, and we don't want anyone to create a problem." Of course, we didn't come here today for feng shui matters, but to ask the old man to help us recruit workers. ”
"Recruitment?"
The middle-aged woman didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Yao's gourd was selling, so she was a little uncertain for a while, and her tone was a little relieved: "My father is in the backyard, you come with me." ”
Lao Niu's house is not small, with a yard in front, a two-story building in the middle, and a yard and an old house in the back.
Walking back through the small building, Lin Yao and the others saw an old man in his sixties in the backyard who was cleaning up the vegetable garden.
"Jiazhen, who are they?"
Seeing the middle-aged woman bringing someone over, the old man put down his hoe and asked.
The woman, who was called Jiazhen, trotted up to the old man and whispered, "Dad, they are from the quarry. ”
"The Quarry!"
When the old man heard this, he didn't think about it and said: "You go back, the matter of not allowing you to start work was discussed by the villagers, and it is useless for you to look for me." ”
"Old man, we are not here to start work, but to recruit workers."
Lin Yao stepped forward, took out a cigarette and lit it for the old man, and then said: "The quarry drivers are gone, I want to recruit fifty drivers from the village." ”
"Driver?" The old man wondered: "No one in our village can drive?" ”
Lin Yao smiled very kindly, and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to drive, you can learn, since our quarry dares to recruit workers, we don't care if you have a driver's license." It's easy to do without a driver's license, there are so many driving schools outside, we can organize everyone to learn, don't you have a driver's license if you learn it? ”
"Free?"
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the middle-aged woman couldn't help it first.
"Of course it's free."
Lin Yao's answer was categorical.
The cost of learning to drive on Hong Kong Island is not low, from registration to obtaining a driver's license, a set of processes is at least seven or eight thousand Hong Kong dollars, and the salary for learning a driver's license for half a year is gone.
In addition, it takes time to practice driving, and if you learn it, you may not have a job, and there are not many people who learn to drive at this stage.
This is not much, which means that you should spend your own money to learn.
If it's free, who doesn't want this kind of good thing, let alone Lin Yao also offered to recruit drivers.
"Let us learn to drive for free, and if we learn it, we can also be a driver for you, there is such a good thing in the world?"
When the old man was young, he was also a human spirit, and he didn't believe in the beauty of pie falling from the sky.
He said suspiciously: "You don't want this solution, let our village agree to your construction, right?" ”
Lin Yao hurriedly waved his hand: "One yard is one yard, I came this time to recruit workers, as for whether to let the quarry start, you have to discuss it yourself, we will not make it difficult for others." ”
"Even if the quarry can't start in the future and we need to relocate somewhere else, we still need drivers."
"Besides, we pay for it, you learn to drive, whether you succeed or not, there is no loss for you, right?"
Lin Yao's voice changed: "No one can let you learn a food craft for free, you are all too timid to agree, right?" ”
"How many places do you give?"
The old man was still moved, because he did have food to eat when he could drive in these years, and his salary was higher than that of ordinary workers.
Even if you can't use it after learning it, you won't be pressured by the many skills, in case you can use it in the future.
"We can give eighty places for learning to drive, how to arrange it, old man, you take the lead, just sort out a list for me, and I will definitely pass."
As for the recruitment quota, we expect to recruit 50-60 muck truck drivers, and there is no need to rush if they are not selected, our boss is Mr. Ni from Tsim Sha Tsui, he is an old man, and some are taxi companies rushing to get VIPs. ”
Lin Yao didn't say a word, now he is in a hurry to start work, and after these people learn their driver's licenses, it should be this group of people who are in a hurry.
Have a driver's license, don't have a job, are you in a hurry?
The average salary of a driver is between 2,500 and 3,500 Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely an upper-middle salary on Hong Kong Island.
How much can I earn from farming, and can I have a stable income of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a month?
The human heart will not be satisfied, and it is foreseeable that when this group of people get their driver's licenses and have no place to work, they will definitely think about when the quarry will start.
