Early the next morning, Zhong Shengbin brought a dozen people to the farm. As soon as Li Yuan saw these people, he knew that Chen Wenchuan's worries were justified.
Those introduced by Zhong Shengbin were all villagers in their thirties. It stands to reason that these people are in their prime of life, and their work should be better than Chen Zugang's group of older workers. However, anyone who saw these villagers introduced by Zhong Shengbin would not think that they were suitable for work.
These people all looked slouchy, standing upright, staggering behind Zhong Shengbin. One of them was as thin as a stick of hemp, and was either sick or a drug addict. There are also two women who are dressed up in fancy clothes, and even put on lipstick and nail polish. They don't look like people who can work in the fields.
What made Li Yuan even more dissatisfied was that everyone had an expression with their eyes above their heads. It seemed that they were introduced by Zhong Shengbin, so they were a head taller than the others, and they even seemed to disregard Li Yuan. Just looking at the appearance of these people now, Li Yuan knows that he should not count on them to work, as long as they don't make trouble, it will be a high incense.
But Li Yuan would not take special care of these people just because they were introduced by Zhong Shengbin. As he said before, there are no idlers on the farm.
If these people can work hard, Li Yuan will not mind who introduced them, he will treat them equally and enjoy the same treatment as Chen Zugang and others.
But if these people come to the farm to be lazy and play tricks, just want to get money but don't work, Li Yuan will not care who introduced them, and those who should get out will definitely let them go out.
"Boss Li, I brought you someone." Zhong Shengbin said to Li Yuan with a smile, "Please take care of me from now on!"
What Zhong Shengbin said made sense. These people were either his relatives, or his best friends, and some of them gave him a lot of benefits, so they won the opportunity to work in the farm.
Moreover, Zhong Shengbin also made an agreement with them that all the wages and bonuses these people got in the farm. He will take 30% of it. To put it bluntly, Zhong Shengbin arranged for these people to come to the farm to reap benefits, so of course he should take special care of them.
But Li Yuan didn't like Zhong Shengbin's tricks, and now he also has close ties with the higher-ups, so why is he still being blackmailed by a village chief
So Li Yuan turned a deaf ear to Zhong Shengbin's words. Instead, he looked at all the villagers who were in good shape and said loudly: "For the sake of Village Chief Zhong, I agree to let you come to work in the farm. But what I want to emphasize is that the farm does not raise Idlers! If you work hard and perform well, your salary will not be worse than that of the old employees, but if anyone doesn’t abide by the rules and regulations of the farm, especially if they are slippery and lazy at work, then don’t blame me for not giving Village Chief Zhong face. People fired!"
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan would say that, and Zhong Shengbin's expression was not good. However, this guy was still thinking about the benefits of renting the mountain top to Li Yuan, so he didn't immediately turn against him, but followed Li Yuan's words: "Have you all heard? Work hard. Don't give I'm ashamed, you know?!"
The villagers introduced by Zhong Shengbin didn't take Li Yuan's words to heart at all. But now seeing that the village chief said so, these people could only reply feebly, as a way of giving Zhong Shengbin face.
Zhong Shengbin felt that the matter of his placement in the farm had come to an end, and he couldn't wait to say to Li Yuan, "Boss Li, let's go to the village committee to discuss the lease of the back mountain?"
This was also what Li Yuan hoped for, so naturally he would not refuse. But before leaving with Zhong Shengbin. Li Yuan still told Chen Wenchuan in public: "Old village chief, I will leave these newcomers to you. Arrange suitable jobs for them. If you think anyone is not competent, tell me directly, and I will talk to them!"
The meaning of Li Yuan's words is very obvious, that is to let Chen Wenchuan evaluate the working ability of these newcomers. If these people are incompetent or lazy, what awaits them is the consequence of being fired.
Only then did the person introduced by Zhong Shengbin know that Li Yuan was not talking casually. But intend to come for real. They all knew that Chen Wenchuan was a stern and selfless person, and they would definitely not be able to fool around under his supervision, so they all turned to Zhong Shengbin for help.
It's a pity that Zhong Shengbin couldn't wait to walk to the village with Li Yuan, and didn't notice the expressions of these people.
Seeing Zhong Shengbin leave, these people finally understood. The new village head can only help himself here. How to get along in the farm next, and whether you can get along, all depend on yourself.
However, if these people could get Zhong Shengbin to speak for them, they would naturally not be honest and responsible people. They exchanged glances with each other, and they all saw their determination on each other's faces—all of them planned to stay in the farm, not only to stay, but also to get along comfortably.
As for Chen Wenchuan, who was in charge of supervision, these people didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he is no longer the village head. As long as a dozen or so people hug together, are they afraid that a bad old man will fail
After coming to the village committee, Li Yuan began to discuss with Zhong Shengbin about renting the hill behind. It has to be said that Zhong Shengbin is much more greedy than Chen Wenchuan, it's just an infiltration of shrubs and weeds, and he actually asks for one hundred thousand a year. Although he is willing to sign a ten-year lease with Li Yuan, he still asks for a 10% increase in the lease fee every year.
Although this price was much higher than Li Yuan's psychological price, he didn't hesitate too much as he wanted to rent this mountain, and agreed to the other party's request after thinking for a while. With the peach pit in his hand, Li Yuan can easily turn barren mountains into mountains of gold and silver, and he doesn't care about the rental fee of 100,000 yuan a year.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan agreed so happily, and Zhong Shengbin also felt a little regretful. If he knew this earlier, he should have called the price higher. He immediately decided that this year would be the end of it. Wait until next year to find an excuse to overturn all the contracts signed with Li Yuan before, and increase the price by twice first.
At that time, the farm should be built better. Li Yuan can either add money to stay, or give up the completed farm and get out. Zhong Shengbin is not afraid that he will not agree.
Anyway, everyone knows that the farm is very profitable. Last year, hundreds of thousands of bonuses were paid out. Zhong Shengbin was determined that Li Yuan would not be willing to give up this geomantic treasure, and would definitely choose to stay.
Having made up such an idea secretly, Zhong Shengbin also felt much better. Now that the conditions for contracting the mountain top have been negotiated, the next step is naturally to sign the lease agreement.
However, when signing the agreement, Zhong Shengbin started to make trouble again. He proposed to Li Yuan that the other contents of the agreement should be written according to the conditions discussed by the two, and the annual rental fee should be changed from 100,000 to 15,000.
As soon as Zhong Shengbin finished speaking, Li Yuan understood what he was planning. (To be continued.)
