It has been almost a year since I came to Penglai City.
Zhou Qiang never imagined that his miserable life as a worker would one day lead to him becoming a millionaire.
In 2017, at the instigation of his family, he went online to recruit people and came to work in New Zealand from China. It happened that Penglai City was under construction at that time. With his good figure and hard-working spirit, he was transferred to the deck operation team to work.
The name sounds fancy, but in fact, what I do every day is to throw "boxes" into the water, help unload the supply ship when I have nothing to do, or work with the cleaners to clean up.
To be honest, until the day Penglai City was completed, he couldn't believe that he was involved in the project of that giant city that floated up from the bottom of the sea.
After Penglai City was built, everyone received a bonus of US$20,000. Because of his good performance during his work, after the deck operation team was disbanded, he was not only lucky enough to become a member of the official establishment of Future People Heavy Industry, but also got the opportunity to purchase in-house when selling first-class apartments in Penglai City, with US$90,000. I bought a property in a relatively remote location at a reasonable price.
Now, the market price of this Level 1 apartment is close to $500,000.
And it’s still priceless!
Converted into RMB in his hometown, his assets can be considered to be over one million.
But despite this, he is still doing very grassroots work in Penglai City. His education level is not high, and he really can't do other jobs.
There is a stipulation in the internal purchase agreement that although the house purchased internally is regarded as his asset, it cannot be rented out within three years and cannot be transferred within ten years. Otherwise, he really wants to rent out this house, count the Singapore dollars, and go back to his hometown to live a life of RMB...
Over the past year, he has worked as a plumber and as a logistics sorter. His job changes can be said to happen every few months. Fortunately, every job transfer would bring a raise, otherwise he was really not sure whether he would go crazy.
However, the transfer order given to him by the company this time made him completely puzzled.
Transferred to future human beings? Penglai City oil crop plantation
He guessed that the reason for this transfer was that when he filled out his resume, he had mentioned that he had worked as a ranger in his hometown. But it’s rare to even see soil in Penglai City. Where can we find plantations
Also, what the hell are oil crops
In all his years of living, this was the first time he heard that oil could be grown from the ground!
However, this question did not linger in his mind for long. When he was taken to the workplace and saw the scene with his own eyes, all the doubts in his heart turned into silent shock.
I saw the rectangular floating fields, which were supported by unknown materials and floated steadily on the sea. The soil is half a meter above sea level and is protected by partitions to prevent high-salinity waves from penetrating.
Zhou Qiang made a rough estimate, and found that such a floating field would be about two hundred meters long and wide, covering an area of about a hundred acres. If all palm trees were planted, one hundred acres of land would only amount to about 10,000 columns. Planting trees is not as troublesome as planting land. If the trees are left alone, they will die. With two people taking care of such a floating field, this job should not be very tiring.
After boarding the floating field, Zhou Qiang glanced at the ditch surrounding the wall. He saw that the ditch was filled with clear water, and he didn't know whether the water was salty or light.
But if it is used for irrigation, I guess it won't be salty.
Due to his cultural level, he doesn't quite understand what semipermeable membrane technology is. But it doesn't matter. The people above don't need them to understand the principle. They can just follow the requirements and plant all the palm trees dragged by the boat into the ground.
After a while, there were about a hundred people standing on the floating field.
At the leader's greeting, Zhou Qiang followed the others and stood in a crooked queue in the center of the floating field.
"In a while, researchers from the future of human biology will come and tell you how to plant these trees and what kind of work you should do every day..."
"Boss, we know how to plant trees!" Someone hidden in the crowd said with a playful smile at the top of his voice.
"Isn't it just oil palm? I've grown that stuff before!"
"There is no need for college students to teach us, just give us the saplings!"
Seeing that these people obviously didn't take his words seriously, the leader with a beer belly glanced at his mouth, and the volume suddenly increased by several decibels.
"I know that you have all planted trees before, so don't act like you are careless with me. Let me tell you, the fruit you plant in the future will not be fruit. It is called gold! Did you hear it for a while?"
gold!
Everyone was stunned.
Although many people disagreed with this, the impatience in their eyes was swept away and gradually became heated.
Is this oil palm really so valuable
"heard it!"
At this time, a young man wearing jeans and a white shirt and looking very educated came over.
Their boss, who had a beer belly, immediately put on a flattering smile when he saw the researcher and politely invited him to the front. The researcher skillfully turned on the holographic image function on his mobile phone, cleared his throat and went straight to the point, explaining the details of the work to the new plantation employees.
From how much water should be poured every day to how much oil should be taken every week. How to open the bark of the tree, how to extract the oil, every step is particular! Everyone including Zhou Qiang was stunned. It turned out that those people who shouted that I knew how to plant trees were also dumbfounded at this moment.
After finishing speaking, the researcher turned off the holographic screen and looked around at all the junior employees present.
"If you still don't understand anything, ask right away."
The crowd hesitated for a long time, but no one said a word. Nothing was understood, and they didn't even know where to start.
The researcher had obviously anticipated this situation, and he did not expect these people to be able to digest all the oil palm planting techniques in such a short period of time. All he needs is for these people to have a general understanding of the planting process. There is a computer connected to the company's intranet in the worker's cabin in Ukita, and he can check the relevant details of planting.
As long as you are willing to learn, there is nothing you can't understand.
"I hope you can take this job seriously." The researcher pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at everyone and said, "From now on, you will be divided into a hundred production groups, with two people in each group, to manage a hundred acres of floating farmland. The company will give bonuses ranging from S$100,000 to S$10,000 to the top ten production teams, which will be distributed together with the year-end bonus."
"The things I just talked about are all in your dormitory, that is, in that small house." The researcher pointed to the iron room next to the floating island. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask through the smart program. "
"Time is money. If you start production one day earlier, you will be one day ahead of the competitors standing next to you."
"But let me say it first. If the saplings cannot survive, the bonus will be deducted."
The researcher emphasized one last sentence, then looked at the leader with a beer belly and gave him the time.
"Do you understand everything?" the leader shouted at the top of his voice.
"I understand!"
Stimulated by the bonus, everyone's eyes flashed with strong fighting spirit. They wished they could rush into the dormitory right now and study the planting techniques with their computers. As that researcher said, time is money! If they start production one day earlier, they can be one day ahead of their competitors in production!
One hundred thousand Singapore dollars, converted into RMB, is more than 600,000 yuan!
Even if it is divided between two people, one person can still get 300,000!
This was the first time they had seen a job with such a high bonus. (.)
