"What do consultants do?" Chen Wenchuan took a sip of wine and asked Li Yuan curiously.
"The consultant is able to take care of everything and give me advice." Li Yuan said with a smile: "You should have seen that, apart from having imported vegetable seeds, I am a complete layman in this industry. So I need an old mage like you to give me advice and checks. I sincerely ask you, but don’t refuse.”
In fact, Chen Wenchuan also enjoyed the feeling of pointing out the country in the past half a month. Hearing what Li Yuan said, he would still be able to speak in the vegetable base in the future, which also made the old village head very excited. After thinking for a while, Chen Wenchuan nodded cheerfully and said, "Since you are so sincere, Xiao Li, then I will not be polite."
"Great." Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Chen Wenchuan: "Mr. Chen, the vegetable base has just been built, and my funds are limited. So the salary can only be lowered first, 2,000 per month Don’t think too little of it.”
In fact, for Chen Wenchuan, being able to "guidance work" in the vegetable base justifiably made him very satisfied. Knowing that Li Yuan actually wanted to pay him, Chen Wenchuan quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just here to help out in my spare time, I can't ask for this money!"
"How can I make you work for nothing?" Li Yuan said seriously: "Anyway, you must ask for this salary, otherwise I dare not bother you!"
After some persuasion from Li Yuan, and the fact that the boss of the engineering team also stood by Li Yuan, Chen Wenchuan finally nodded in embarrassment and said: "Well, I will take the salary. But two thousand is too much, so cut it in half. I want half of it!"
Li Yuan likes dealing with honest people like Chen Wenchuan, and after some refusals, he finally settled on this matter. So at the dinner table, the vegetable base had its first employee.
In fact, Li Yuan hired Chen Wenchuan as a consultant for the vegetable base because of two considerations.
First of all, Chen Wenchuan is the village head of Ningxia Village. Let him take a job in the vegetable base, so it will be more convenient for him to do many things in the future. Moreover, after Li Yuan's observation these days, Chen Wenchuan's prestige in the village is very high. With him in charge of the vegetable base, there will be much less friction with the local villagers.
The second reason is that Chen Wenchuan himself is an experienced farmer. For Li Yuan, who is a layman, it is definitely a great thing for him to have such an old farmer give him advice and manage the daily work of the vegetable base. development is also very beneficial.
It is precisely because of these two reasons that Li Yuan hired Chen Wenchuan as a consultant for the vegetable base. As for his salary of 1,000 yuan per month, it is only the value of several hundred catties of vegetables. As long as the vegetable base has output, such a small amount of vegetables is undoubtedly insignificant to Li Yuan.
Chen Wenchuan has the title of "special consultant" in the vegetable base, and there is a monthly "consultant fee" of 1,000 yuan, which also makes him more motivated.
The next day, as soon as Li Yuan arrived at the vegetable base, Chen Wenchuan hurried over with five or six villagers, and shouted to him from a long distance, "Xiao Li, I've found the person you want!"
"Hey, this old man is really impatient!" Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched Chen Wenchuan walking quickly in the distance.
But now that the vegetable base has been built, sowing the seeds one day earlier can generate income one day earlier. So it was exactly what Li Yuan wanted for Chen Wenchuan to find someone so quickly.
Right now, Chen Wenchuan is already a consultant of the vegetable base, and he still receives Li Yuan's salary every month, and he does his best for the vegetable base. The six people he recruited were all in their fifties, and they were not only good vegetable growers in the village, but also recognized as honest people.
After Chen Wenchuan introduced these villagers one by one, Li Yuan was also very satisfied with the people he found. Although it remains to be seen how well they work, but just looking at their dull expressions and silent appearances, it is known that at least these people are not too lazy and slippery when working, which is also a point that Li Yuan values very much.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Yuan. I just contracted this land to grow vegetables a while ago." Li Yuan said to these villagers with a smile: "I trust Village Chief Chen very much. Since he invited everyone to Come here, there is no need to say anything else, please take care of the things here in the future!"
Seeing Li Yuan giving himself face in front of the villagers, Chen Wenchuan was also very happy, and nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Little Li, don't worry, with me watching over the field, there will be absolutely no mistakes."
Li Yuan also smiled and nodded to Chen Wenchuan, and then said to everyone: "From today onwards, everyone is considered to be an employee of the vegetable base. The vegetable base has just started, so I can't give you too high a salary. It's one thousand and five a month, and when the business gets better and you earn a lot, I'll raise everyone's wages!"
In fact, for these villagers, they usually have nothing to do when they stay at home, wasting time in vain. At present, they just come to the village to do their old job of farming, and they can get 1500 yuan a month, which makes them overjoyed. Many people immediately had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be very satisfied with the treatment offered by Li Yuan.
In fact, Chen Wenchuan felt that Li Yuan's salary was a bit high, and a thousand a month like himself was already pretty good. However, this is related to the interests of other villagers, so Chen Wenchuan did not object. On the contrary, he felt that Li Yuan was reconciled with the boss, and it should be a wise decision for him to introduce people from the village to work here.
This is Li Yuan's first time as a boss and the first time to speak to employees, so he doesn't have much experience. After announcing the salary of the employees, he didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "I have nothing to say. Let's start working now!"
In fact, country people are honest, and they are also interested in listening to Li Yuan's long speeches. Now that he said he was going to work, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. One of the villagers named Chen Zugang asked Li Yuan, "Boss, what should we do first?"
Li Yuan has already considered this matter, and said with a smile on hearing this: "Now that the land is ready, the first thing to do is of course sowing the seeds!"
So Li Yuan took out the "imported vegetable seeds" he had prepared a long time ago, and distributed them to everyone according to the variety for sowing.
Originally, according to the previous planting method of the farmers, the seeds should be sown in the nursery bed first, and then transplanted into the vegetable greenhouse after the seedlings emerge. However, Li Yuan planned to irrigate the seeds with the water that melted the golden beads after sowing, so he asked everyone to sow the seeds directly in the ground, which he called a new method of planting imported vegetables.
Since this involved high-tech issues, everyone including Chen Wenchuan did not object, and directly sowed the seeds into the field according to Li Yuan's wishes. It's just that everyone has doubts about this kind of planting method, and they all think that it is not good for growing vegetables.
In the midst of everyone's suspicion, Li Yuan was ready to surprise them.
