Outside the southern city of Yunhai City, a remote village about ten miles away from Yunhai City, all the seven or eight hundred people recruited by Steward Zhang this time gathered here.

This is the address where Baili Xing chose to build the headquarters of the [Baili Chamber of Commerce], Baili Xing did not plan to establish its headquarters in Yunhai City, and it would cost too much to buy a large enough site in Yunhai City.

The second is that he took a fancy to the environment near this address.

There are only twenty or thirty households in this small village called 'Haishi Village', and now so many people suddenly come from outside, which naturally attracts the attention of many aborigines.

And in the corner of the crowd where seven or eight hundred people gathered, the two looked exactly the same, and the young man who was not tall, but looked unusually stocky, was talking:

"Brother, I'm so hungry!"

"I have to endure hunger, little sister, are they still waiting for us at home? Anyway, this time the two of us must have at least one place to get the 'first-class craftsman'. ”

In the assessment standards formulated by Bailixing, all technical jobs are divided into five levels, and "first-class craftsman" is the lowest craftsman level.

But even the lowest-level 'first-class craftsman' can enjoy the [Baili Chamber of Commerce] monthly money of 500 Wen, free three meals a day, including accommodation, and even bring his family to live in the craftsman's room.

"Brother, do you think we can pass the assessment?"

"Absolutely."

Although the elder brother of the twin brothers said it categorically, even he didn't have much confidence in his own heart.

In fact, if it is a normal assessment, with their family's ancestral iron-making skills, the two brothers are at least confident that they will win a "first-class craftsman" place.

But now the two of them are so hungry.

Don't look at the appearance of the two of them, they look quite strong, in fact, there are no more taels of meat left under the clothes, but they are born with a thick skeleton.

In the past few years, the two of them and their three sisters, in order to escape the cold disaster, fled all the way from the north to Yunhai City, and the little savings accumulated by the family have long been used up.

These days.

The eldest sister and younger sister of the two have fainted from hunger several times, if they hadn't finally gotten some water and barely carried it, it is estimated that there would be no one by now.

But even so, if they can't find a lucrative job in the future, the remaining five siblings in their family won't last long.

But striking iron is a hard work, if there is no oil and water in the stomach, it is estimated that even the hammer will not be able to lift, how can it be possible to hit a good device.

However, the two of them are already desperate now, so even if they can't do it, they have to do it next.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as the two brothers who have been recruited this time, after all, they have all lived in the 'beggar's den', and how many of them can have good conditions?

"It smells so good!"

Seven or eight hundred people were called to 'Haishi Village' and there was no movement again, just when everyone was a little nervous, wondering if they had been tricked.

Suddenly, the aroma of food wafted out of the air······

At first, only a few people smelled it, but it didn't take long for the whole crowd to stir.

Because right in front of everyone, I saw more than a dozen people each carrying a large iron pot, which was full of food, and slowly walked to a high platform.

Many refugees who had not eaten for several days saw the food in front of them, their eyes turned red, and they almost couldn't help but grab it.

However, when they saw the guards in front of several large iron pots, the more than a dozen disciples of the 'Angry Whale Gang' who were holding long knives and looked fierce, they immediately forcibly resisted the impulse in their hearts.

After a while.

On the high platform, a young man wearing a moire brocade, a handsome and delicate face, and an extraordinary bearing slowly walked out.

Seeing this scene, some people with vision immediately knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "The little one to meet President Baili!" ”

The others were stunned for a moment, and then they also began to follow suit, quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Little one to meet President Baili!" ”

Boy.

Seven or eight hundred people suddenly came to this show, and they were really stunned for a while.

But he also reacted quickly, and whispered a few words to Steward Zhang beside him, Steward Zhang nodded, and then stepped to the front of the stage, pressed his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone get up!" The president spoke, and today we are recruiting workers from the Baili Chamber of Commerce, and we are recruiting people with real skills. ”

"But considering that you are all coming from afar, it must be a long journey. Therefore, the president spoke, before today's assessment officially begins, you can have a good meal first, so that you can have the strength to play your skills in the future. ”

Steward Zhang's words made everyone stunned for a moment, and their faces were dazed.

"Is that ······ What do you mean? ”

"I don't know, it seems to say that you want to invite us to a free meal."

"What nonsense? In this world, there is no reason why you can eat without working. ”

Many people wonder if they just heard the wrong thing, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

However, the slaves in front of them who were holding the big iron pot knocked the iron pot with a big spoon to make everyone line up, shouting: "Prepare your own food."

Then some of the people were skeptical.

Soon.

As a 'refugee' standing in the front row took out a clay bowl from his pocket and stretched it out tremblingly, the slave actually scooped a large spoonful of food into the bowl, and the crowd suddenly boiled completely.

"Really give a free meal?"

"God, we have met a living bodhisattva!"

"Hurry, hurry······ Go ahead and line up. ”

"Oh no, I didn't bring the bowl."

"If you want any bowl, just get something and put it in."

In the midst of the uproar, many refugees hurriedly began to look for utensils to 'fill rice', not everyone has the habit of carrying bowls, but at this time, people are obviously not too picky.

It didn't take long.

A group of refugees each carrying a slate, a wooden plank, a shell······ Some of them really couldn't find the ones to pack the food, so they simply took off their clothes and used a dress stained with stains and sweat to pack the food.

"It's actually milled rice? And there are dishes? ”

"Not only that, but there is also oil and salt in it!"

Suddenly, two exclamations sounded from the crowd again, and suddenly another stone startled a thousand waves.

Originally, many people in the back row thought that Baili Xing would get some brown rice for everyone to eat for free, which was already a great good person, but they never expected that this big pot of rice was not only full of polished rice, but also vegetables, oil and salt.

This can no longer be described as rich, it is simply a bit of a loser.

Queued for a while.

The twin brothers also came to the cauldron, and when they saw the pot full of rice and vegetables with a layer of oil, they couldn't help but move their throats.

Baili Xing's rule is two spoonfuls of food per person, and the rice spoons he bought on the other side of the earth are very large, and if he is a person with a slightly smaller amount of food, these two spoonfuls of food may not be finished.

But it can't be too much, otherwise some people haven't eaten for too long, and suddenly they eat too much and accidentally die of it, which is not good.

After the meal was ready, the two brothers immediately found a corner to eat.

The younger brother devoured it.

And my brother's eating appearance is a little more steady.

After only about half of the meal, the elder brother stopped his mouth and reminded the younger brother beside him, "Don't eat too much now, be careful to hold on later." ”

"Don't worry! Brother, this little thing can't hold me up. ”

The younger brother munched on the polished rice and said vaguely.

Seeing this scene, my brother also shook his head helplessly, and then he didn't say anything more, but took care of himself to use his clothes to form the rest of the meal into a ball, and then carefully put it away, ready to take it home later.

······

······

"Tut~~ Brother Baili, isn't it a bit too wasteful for you to take out so much polished rice for this group of 'refugees' to enjoy. These 'refugees' are all livestock, and if you want to feed them, you just need to get some brown rice. ”

On the high platform, watching the group of refugees below eating rice like wild boars, even Shi Sandao couldn't help but feel distressed for Bailixing.

"If the Baili Chamber of Commerce wants to make a name for itself as soon as possible, this meal will be the best publicity."

Baili Xing smiled, seemingly unimpressed by the cost of this meal.

In fact, he really didn't think about the cost of this meal.

No way.

It's not that Baili Xing doesn't want to be low-key, but he really can't keep a low profile. Because like the so-called 'brown rice' on the Dacang side, there is really no sale on the other side of the earth!

The 500 tons of rice bought by Bailihang are already the worst quality rice on the other side of the world, with an average selling price of almost one yuan per catty. In many modern places, this kind of rice is no longer bought for human consumption, but used to raise poultry and livestock.

Bailixing bought 500 tons of rice, and only spent a million in total.

As for those vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and gourd purchased in the Northeast, Baili Xing paid a high price of five cents a catty, and it was only 20,000 yuan to buy ten tons.

Even if you add the cost of renting a car, renting a warehouse, buying chickens, and seventy-seven-eighty-eight, you can barely spend more than 100,000 yuan.

After all, buying things on the other side of the earth, one of the things that saves money for Baili Xing is that he basically doesn't need to spend too much on shipping, and even the more things he has, the more money he saves.

So since it can't be low-key, then Bailixing simply acts in a high-profile manner.

Anyway, now that he has preliminarily laid the foundation on both sides of the earth and the great cang, if it is changed to a more prosperous area, Bailixing may have to consider it.

However, Yunhai City is already in a remote location, and now that he has initially reached a cooperation with the Angry Whale Gang, even if Baili Xing takes a slightly bigger step at the beginning, it is not a big problem.

"Anyway, Brother Baili, when did you buy so much polished rice, why didn't I receive any news, brother?" Shi Sandao suddenly asked tentatively.

"This is an overseas channel, we had a total of two caravans to go to sea, and the second caravan got in touch with me not long ago."

Baili Xing knew very well that with the gradual expansion of the scale of his [Baili Chamber of Commerce], it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Angry Whale Gang, and for this, Baili Xing did not intend to 'hide', and simply pushed everything to 'overseas'.

As for whether Lan Zhenhai will believe it······ He could only choose to believe.

Because apart from overseas, there is no other reason to explain these large-scale materials that have popped up on Bailixing.

After all, no matter how big Lan Zhenhai and the others were, it was impossible for them to guess that Baili Xing was from the 'other world'!

And Shi Sandao's expected expression also confirmed Baili Xing's guess, and he only heard that he said unintentionally: "Since there are guests from the hometown of the Baili brothers, our Angry Whale Gang, as the host, should entertain them, otherwise it would be too rude." ”

Baili Xing chuckled and said: "Brother Dao is too polite, now the affairs of the [Baili Chamber of Commerce] have been handed over to me to deal with, as for those friends in my hometown, they are not suitable for the living habits of Dacang, so there is no need for entertainment." ”

From the moment Baili Xing decided to establish the [Baili Chamber of Commerce], the relationship between him and the Angry Whale Gang was destined to be as close as before.

Forehead~~~

Although the relationship between the two of them in the past is not too close.

However, this does not mean that the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated, to be precise, because of the collusion of 'interests', the relationship between the two sides may even be closer.

It's just that compared with before, there will be a little more vigilance and estrangement between Baili Xing and the Angry Whale Gang.

Of course, the 'Angry Whale Gang', who was born as a pirate, will inevitably have some ideas about the [Baili Chamber of Commerce], but before that, the first thing they need to find is the 'overseas channel' that supplies the [Baili Chamber of Commerce].

Because this 'overseas channel' is the root of the growth of [Baili Chamber of Commerce].

If there is no way to hold this 'overseas channel' in their own hands, then even if the 'Angry Whale Gang' can rob the entire [Baili Chamber of Commerce] one day, the final result will not be much different from the harvest they once used to be pirates at sea and plunder the 'merchant ships'.

However, the idea of the 'Angry Whale Gang' is destined to fail, and it is impossible for them to find an 'overseas channel' that does not exist, even if they turn the entire southeast sea upside down.

······

When the 'refugees' below finished eating, Baili Xing let everyone rest for another two quarters of an hour.

Immediately an order was given, and the assessment officially began.

The examiner of this assessment is an old craftsman who was temporarily seconded from the Purple Whale Hall by Baili Xing, and now the [Baili Chamber of Commerce] and the [Angry Whale Gang] are in the honeymoon period, and the relationship between Shi Sandao and Baili Xing before is not fake, so the Angry Whale Gang will not make small moves in this little matter.

First recruitment.

Baili Xing is expected to recruit 300 people, but the specific situation depends on whether there are any talents who satisfy themselves in this batch of 'refugees'.
